MOW TO FBRP VKAL TO A COW.
The best way to feed meal to cow
is to cut hay and wet it only as much
as to make the rueal adhere to it, and
mix this with it, adding s small hand
ful of salt with each feed. The meal
is then more completely digested than
if it were given by itself, in which
case it is apt to paw on to the third
stomach and miss the ruminaiinn
which is necessary to tho perfect di
gestion 01 a cow s food. Fi"e pounds
of cut hay and three quarts of corn
meal will make a full sincln food for
cow giving ten or twelve quart of
mint a aay. it is not desirable to try
to feed a cow for milk and fat both, as
the food is then apt to be diverted ti
fat only, and the milk may decrease
in any but a specially-gifted butter
or milk animal. Some cows will shrink
in milk as soon as they are fed dry
meal or shorts, and turn the food to
flesh and fat. Such a cow is not profit
able in a dairy. The best milk and
butter cow is one that is not easily
fattened, but turns the food to these
most-desired products, and keeps thin
as long as she is milking. New York

HOTBED MAKLVO.
The work of selecting the place for
the hotbed and cold-frames for start
ing early seeds should not be post
poned any longer. It takes some time
to make the beds and fill them with
the right soil. Tho farmer who does
not make use of frames for starting
his garden vegetables ought not bo
classeil among progressive farmers.
The seasons are too short for us to wait
until spring before sowing our seeds.
By the time the ground is ready for
sowing our garden plants are several
inches high, and by transplanting them
from the frames to the open ground
we save a minth or more. In this
way raising two good crops in one sea
son on one piece of ground is made
easy. The early plants are also the
ones that bring the most money, and
those raised in the frames always bring
in more returns to the farmer than the
ones sown in the open ground during
April and May. Many prefer the
plants grown in frames first to those
planted later in the field, as they have
stronger roots and stalks, making it
possible for them to resist dry weather.
The hotbeds should be constructed
right away, for there are some slow
germinating seeds that ought to be put
m the ground very early. It takes
time to gather and mix the right soil
for the beds, and there will be many
days when the ground will be frozen
too hard to dig any soil for the beds.

WATER-CRESS CTXTTVATlOy.
In answer to inquiries, the Farmers'
Voice gives the following directions
for growing water -cress : Water-cress
requires a clear running stream and a
gravelly soil. The roots should be
planted in the spring- of the year in
slow-running streams, where the water
is from three to eight inches deep.
When the roots are well established
the plants will rapidly increase, and,
by their natural process of seed-sowing
aud spreading of the roots, they
will soou cover tho surface of the
Btream. When planted the rows
should be planted with the course of
the stream and about eighteen inches
apart. The plants should always be
cut, not broken off, as breaking them
off is injurious to the plants. After
they have been cut off two or thrco
times they will begin to stock out or
thicken out, and then the oftener they
are cut the better. When raised from
seeds they should be sown on the mar
gin of the stream, and when of suitable
size transplanted into it, where it is
an inch and a hulf or two deep. The
most suitable time for sowing is in the
months of April, May and June. There
are said to be three varieties of water
cressnamely : the green-leaved,
which is considered to be the easiest to
cultivate ; tbe small brown-leaved,
which is thought to be the hardiest,
nd the large brown-leaved, which is
said to be the best for deep water,
SMALL FRUITS.
Now it is time to apply manure to
blackberries, currants, raspberries and
other small fruits. It should be scat
tered broadcast at the roots of these
plants, which should run over consid
erable) territory. Autumn and wiuter
are the most favorable seasons for
spreading the mauure, since the raius
and snows of winter can distribute the
fertility through every portiou of the
son miicli more cheaply and effectively
than limu can with the bi'ot of tools
for tho purpose With the so-called
hardy varieties of fruits winter pro
tectioii, even iu onite uortheru luti
tudex, does uot appear very general,
mid yet, without doubt, this is tin
true jiIhu.
If cultivators could but see how
their crops ure oftentimes diminished
by severe winters, even when plants
are not killed outright by the changes
of temperature, protection would
more regularly e given. It is quite a
simple thing to cover tho roots of
plants several inches deep with leaves
or hay just after the ground has begun
to freeze, anil thus prevent the alter
nate freezing and thuwiug whioh provo
no injurious. Iu addition, raspberry
vines should be bent down and cov
ered, partially at leant. Wiuter winds
harm the canes to a considerable ex
tent. Opportunity is offered t ettablitih
fiew plautatiuus uutjl the grynud
freezes add puts an end to snob, opera
tions. In transplanting remove fully
one-half tho canes and set out well in
mellowed soil ; cover with deep mulch
and protect the entire plants as well as
possible. If spring work will not be
too pressing tho plant may be secured
now and "heelod in" to be in readi
ncs fur setting early next spring.
Really spring is a better season for
transplanting than fall. I'raiwe
Farmer.
OHREN FEED AND PFRE AID FOB rOtTMBY.
It should never bo forgotten that
poultry need some kind of green food
at all seasons of the year. In winter
there can be given them qabbages,
choppod onionH, or turnips, occasion
ally varying this diet with short late
dried hay. Toultry also relish corn
stalk leaves, if chopped flno. In the
early spring time, when tho ground
first softens from the frost, grain and
other Becds should tie thrown into the
pens, and unless they are kept in the
open, they should have a plentiful
supply of it daily. !?or young chick
ens, nothing is so beneficial and bo
gateful as a run upon newly-grown
grass. Grass torn up by the roots ie
eaten by hens, it is true, but not with
that advantage or relish aa when they
can pluck it standing. Some ponltry
keepers sprout oats in boxes of earth
and allow their birds to eat off the soft
shoots. Rutabagas and carrots are
excellent winter feeds, and about the
cheapest to be obtained. It may be
that the fowls will not take to them in
a raw state ; if bo, the roots may be
cooked, mashed, and mixed with bian
aud meal. Next to a plentiful supply
of green food, ventilation is tho most
important item to be considered in
keeping fowls healthy. More fowls
have perished for the want of perfect
ventilation than from any other cause.
One of the best and simplest plans to
let pure air into the poultry house is
to have a hole in the floor about six
inches wide and several feet long, and
covered over with wire netting, which
is loft open in summer and kept cov
ered up in winter. With a corre
sponding opening" at the top, this will
admit the fresh air from the bottom,
and also allow all heavy gases to es
cape. It is the most perfect system
that can be devised for admitting pure
air to poultry houses, and it is, at (he
same time, the cheapest and most
cosily arranged. Sunlight, pure air,
aud green food make poultry profit
able, but a lack of them brings disease
and consequent loss. American Agri
culturist. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Trotters have too much energy for
farm work.
Horses differ in intelligence almost
as much as men do.
Drive the colt the first time with a
fast-walking horse.
After choosing a place for the bee
stands do not change it.
A little drive every day aids the
development of young horses.
Don't neglect to replace the roll ol
salt in each stall as soon as it is gone.
Italians produce a larger number of
bees than blacks, and so, indirectly,
more honey.
The French stuff their fowls with
fresh butter before roasting them, and
baste them continually.
Fertilizers should be applied broad
cast around the trees and not in imnie
diate contact with them.
To leave the bees a reasonable supply
of honey for the winter is better than
attempting to feed them.
Mat ng for the best results in vigor
and fertility requires careful study
and practical observation.
The goose-raising English and Irish
counties are those with very thick
pastures witn snort grass.
Ducks should never be yarded with
other poultry, as they will pollute tho
water and cause sickness.
If young pigs are allowed to run
with fattening hogs they will lay on
too much fat to grow well.
Feed and shelter the cows well this
winter aud you will be surprised at the
increased amount of butter.
The color of tbe shell is no indica-.
tion of the quality of 'the eau, but
simply shows the breed of owl.
Experience counts for a good deal

little details that success depends.
Sell from the young stock, and do
not sacrifice fowls and turkeys which
have proved satisfactory, unless very
old.
(live the fowls all the skim milk
and buttermilk you can spare. They
will return it to you in the form of
eggs.
Boiling or hilly land is the best situ
ation for the poultry -house. Handy
and gravelly soils are also to be pre
ferred. The more familiar a man becomes
with his orchard and other trees the
more quickly will he observe their

HITS OF liAMP LORE.
Lamp wicks should have t ho charred
part rubbed off with a rag kept for that
purpose. They should very seldom bo
cut. They should not bo used so long
that tho webbing becomes tight and

Lamps should be kept tilled with
oil. It is bad for the wick and bnruor
when the oil is loft over from one even

The tauk should be tilled again.
About once a month the wick should
be removed, the burners unscrewed
and boiled in a little water in which
common washing soda has been dis
solved. This will remove the almost
imperceptible coating of dust and
grease that forms on tho brass.
The lamp chimney should be washod

TIIE ART OF FATVHINrt.
How many patch clothes, par.
ticniarly children's clothes, with littlo
regard to the stripo and check, and
sometimes to the shade of the gar
ment patched. Then some seem to
think the larger the patch the better.
Of course the thinness of the cloth
near the holo will have something to
do with the size of tho patch, but
when a throe-cornered tear is mended
take a piece exactly matching the
check or stripe of the garment, and
just large enough to leave a space
equal to the fell taken on the other
side between the hem and the run ;
then on the right Bide make a cut in
each corner equal to the depth of the
fell, and a much squarer, neater patch
is made. If a woolen garment, it
should be dampened and the fell
thoroughly pressed with a moderately
hot iron. A patch should never be
put on the right side of a garment. If
the rent or wear is near a seam insert
aside of the patch into this, aud some
times two seams aro so near that the
patch can scarcely be noticed. Gener
ally people fasten the patch on the
wrong side by ruuning a thread along
near tho edge. A better way is to cat
stitch the patch on to the garment.
POTATO COOKER?.
It seems a pity to the New York

Beat to a cream. Add one at a time
the well-beaten yolksof six eggs. "Beat
the whites to a froth and stir lightly
into the mixture. Pour into a well-
buttered baking dish aud bake for
about half an hour in a quick oven.

Transparent Leather.
According to the Magasiu Pittor
esque, transparent leather can now be
made. Before the hide is absolutely
dry it is placed iu a room which the
rays of the sun do not penetrate, aud
is saturated with a solution of bichro
mate of potash. When the hide is very
dry tin-re is applied to its surface an
s.coholie solution of tortoiso shell,
and a truiiKpuroiit aspect is thus ob
tained. 'I'll in leather is exceedingly
flexible. It is used for the maui:
tnutr.re of toilet articles, but there is
nothing to prevent it from being lined
for footgear, and perhaps, with fancy
stockings, shoes made of it would uot
prove uupleasant to the sight. They
would, at least, have the advantage of
originality.

propriety and the need of total abstinence on
the part of our clergy and our people for the
sake of example at least, even though the
practice of total abstlnonoo might not bo al
together necessary for their individual wel

HOW THU HABIT OKOWS.
During the prevalence of cholera In Cln.
riiiniiti a gentleman, a member of a church,
nud, up to that time, a rigid teetotaler, de
sired his wife to put ataMuspoonfulof brandy
iu his gloss every day nt dinner. The wile
was surprised ; but deeming it the result of a
wise professional council, she compiled, and
the husband tilled up the glass with water
and drank it. A week passed by, and be said
to his wife while at dinner, " Sly dear, you
have been cutting off my supply of brandy.
This has lost its taste I It does not produce
the same effect ns at first."
His wife assured hiinshe had given tbe full
amount, nnd he said no more.
Another week passed by, aud he repeated
to his wife tbe conviction that she had less
ened the qunntily of brandy. It did not pro
duce the same effect as at first. He could
scarcely taste it, nnd the effects on his stom
ach were not perceptible.
"My dear," said bis wife, " you have beeu
taking two tablespoonfuls every day, for a
week past, since you found fault with me for
stinting you."
lie was thunderstruck. He sat a few mo
ments in deep thought : then desired the de
canter of brandy to be brought to him. He
seized it and shook it, as much as to say, "I
nm your master." ana then hurled it from
the window.
He had beeu playing with a serpent which
was fust winding its deadly colls about him.
He did not suspect his danger at the begin

before it wis too lute. A Utile is sure to lead

SAO AND SUOUESTIVX 8T011T.
A sad and suggestive story of the evils re
sulting from the presence of the drinkshoiis
in this city Is thus related for us by a well
known mission worker. A Greek by the
name of Theodore I.eonls arrived In New
York from Pittsburg, where he had accumu
lated about five hundred dollars, aud en
gaged pasaagd on board of a steamer for
Athens, where he has a wife and four chil
dren. During the day he met with two Ita
lians with whom he visited a saloon and took
a social gloss. While under the influence of
the drink, or possibly some drug which was
given him. they succeed in relieving him of
4S0 in gold which he had strapped about
bis body. When he oame to hlinsolf and dis
covered that bis money was gone and that
the steamer with his bagguge on board had
sailed, tbe poor fellow was almost insane
with grief and excitement, and made Disease
known to the oflicers, but with very Itltle
prospect of recovering his lost treasure. Ho
linaliy disposed of bis ticket to procure lodg
ings and meals. In the course of two 3r
three weeks, thresh the kindness of parties
to whom his misfortunes were made known,
means were provided for his return to 1'itts
burg, where lie said be could again obtain
emplo) meat. His case is one ot the saddest
we have ever met with, and is a striking il
lustration of the evils ol the saloon, and of
the dangers to which men are exposed

all knotty and dried up. Miserable tilings."
"Make tiptop cider, them applies will,"
persisted the miller.
"But look at the rotten ones. Half of tho
apples that I cau see are touchod with de
cay, while a great many of tliem are rotten
from skin to skin. Look ut that," said the
correspondent, poking his cane into one of
the apples. "There isu't a sound spot lu
it."
"That dont hurt 'em none for cider," an
swered the miller. "Makes the cider nil tho
belter, some folks says."
"How about wormy apples? Are tbey tit
to make into cider V1"
The miller had talked long enough, and so
one of the baugers-ou about the place vol
unteered a reply.
"Guess you wasn't even into a cider mill
fore to-day, was yeV If you had been I
reckon you wouldn't ask no questions about
worms. Worms don't hurt cider none."
The correspondent looked incredulous.
"Don't you b'iieve it . Well, I tell ye what
t' do. Wheu you go borne to-night, just try
nn experiment. Walt till H'b dark, an' then
take two apples an' go dowu int' the cellur
an' see if you klu full thediff'ruiicu 'twixt tho
one with a worm into it an' t'other oner"
"What do you mean Why do you tell mi
to go down into the cellar?"
"Why, that's the most darkish place 'bout
the house, ain't it' liuu't tuko no light with
ye."
"But how am I to examine the apples iu
the dark? Of course. I shouldn't know which
was which junt by feeling of tliein."
"You didn't s pose 1 wauled ye 1 go dowu
there au' set round a-teeliu of the apples, did
ye? That want what I meant. What I meant
wus this : You jeat lake a wormy apple au' a
sound oueau' go down Int' the cellur an' eat
'em, un' I'll bet ye ubliiiliu' you won't know
when you eat the worm."
The correspondent siiudderod,
"Don' that prove it?" rau ou tbe man.
"Course it does. We put the worms right
int' the graler, 'long with the rest. How many
of 'em they is we don't know. All we know is
that they ail turn into cider, au the iiuiu aln t.

The story of a great man and a very
learned judge is related by an esrwit
licss to tho following effect : Justice
Willi's was Bnkod, "If I look into my
drawing-room and see a burglar pack
ing up tho clock, and ho cannot see
me, whnt ought I to do?"
Ho replied, ns nearly as may be:
"My advice to yon, which I give as a
man, as a lawyer and us an Knglish
judgo is ns follows: 'In tho supposed
circumstances, that is what you have
a right to do, and I am by no means
sure that it iH not your duty to do it.
Take a double-barreled gun, carefully
load both barrels, nud tli'Mi, without
attracting tho burglar's attention, aim
Meadily nt his heart and shoot him
dead.' " Saturday Bcview.
