SELECTTXG HAT FOB COWI.
Ae a plant forms seed it takes sub
stance from the leaves and stalk and
stores it within tho seed as nourish
ment for the germ when it shall grow.
This is called "translocation," and it
plays an important part iu changing
tho chemical constituents of different
parts of the plant. Perennials have
still another form of translocation.
Nutriment is stored in the roots. Tim
othy has a bulb just beneath the sur
face of the cronnd. From this bulb
fresh roots como in spring. The point
of interest to the dairyman is that the
grass grows less nitrogenous as it ma
tures, and the nutritive ratio becomes
too narrow for a perfect daily ration.
Succulent pasturo grass is a perfect
ration ; ripened grass is too woody
and carbonaceons. Experiments at
different stations indicate that in feed
ing the results are what the chemical
analysis would lead ono to expect.
Early cut hay has a large protein con
tent, and is better for milk produc
tion ; that cut later is more carbona
ceous and is suited to beef making.
Now, since it is impracticable, to
cut all tho grass at once there will be
some cut e.irly and some cut lato. The
sensible thing to do is to stack sepa
rate, or put in different mows in the
bnrn and feed in accordance with its
suitability to the object sought, giv
ing tho cows in milk and young grow
ing stock the early cut hay. The
writer fills his long mow in sections.
This grades the hay as out, and the
barn is so arranged that ha can feed
from any desired section. Those
whoso stock run outside will find it
profitable to remember which stack is
early cut and feed it according to tho
suggestion given above. New Eng
land Homestead.
TSES OP BAW HIDE.
For wide usefulness, few things ex
ceed raw hide, though it is not com
monly understood in tho East, or
among civilized people as should be
the case, writes Hollister Sage. Tho
Western pjueer, throngh necessity,
learned tue art of manipulating it
long years ago, and its use has not
been forgotten. A coil of sun-dried
cowhide tied to the plow handle, tur
ret ring or wagon stake, is security
against breakdowns and many mishaps
which aro likely to overtake the
farmer or teamster. Soaked in water,
it becomes limber quickly and will tie
a harness, wagon or other things to
gether and hold them firmly, whether
wet or dry. When it dries, it shrinks,
binding more firmly than ever. On
the treeless, rainless wastes of the
Sonthwcbt, where fiercest sun and
couBtant drying winds would shrink
the tire lrom any wheels used in moist
climates, the raw hide, tire is indis
pensable, because the dryer it gets
tho closer it sticks. J I alter a long
wear the tire is found loose, a new one
can bo quickly whipped about the
wheel at night, ready to start with in
tho luoruiug. For belt luces, trajec
and other harness straps, chair bot
toms and innumerable other places
where hard wear is demanded the raw
hide with tho hair exposed, or turned
iu out of sight, isinvaluableand could
bo used in tho older States ofteutiuie
with preat advantage. Or these skins
may be "tawed," as the process is
called where tho hair or fur is pre
served, Bud no tannic aeid is uteJ.
This is done by spreading a mixture
of finely powdered suit and alum in
equal quautities upon the moist rlesh
Siido and doubling o'je, or laying pair
llesh side together. The hides aro
left thus for several days, i hen they
seem to have become something like
leuthcr. They nro then stripped,
fcraped, rubbed with chalk and pum
ice stone until smooth, and pulled and
scraped while drying to inuke them

TUE MODERN HOG.
There has been a great change in
recent years iu ull domestic nuirunl:;,
but in none has tlia type been more
completely altered than iu tho hog.
Tho origiuul animal, tha "rustler,"
ncrlainly left inueh to bo desired as
pork, though doubtless well fitted to
Mirvive and thrive nuder tho condi
tions of neglect which prevailed.
!ut with the growth of tho country
nnd tho development of tho pork mar
ket camo tho application of modern
methods of breeding and feediu.
Early maturity and moro compact,
heavy frames were the qualities so
successfully sought, that eery farmer
went iuto tho business, with overpro
duction as the result. Then a greul
nittuy went, out of the business in dis
gust. 'J'hoso who stayed iu made
money, end to tho r,)t are trying
to gvt hfttk, . . . ,
But tho tasto of the market has
changed. Big hogs aro no longer in
demand. Instead of an animal weigh
ing 450 pounds, ono of half that weight
is tho kind desired. Big hogs cau
only bo sold at a reduced prico. Con
sumers demand smaller hams and
shoulders and well streaked bacon,
while lard has been almost completely
superseded by cottonseed oil.
To supply changed conditions tho
type of hog has nndergone a marked .
modification, and swine brooders will
do well to recognize it iu order tc
market thoir pig crop at a gain.
While tho smaller breeds are mors
largely usod, the chief difference hat
been in tho feed. Tlenty of com
means tho ability to produce plenty
of pork, so that it must remain out
chief hog food ; but corn is only one
of the leading food factors in success
ful pork growing.
Many farmers have made a practice
of koeping pigs constantly on corn,
which has tended to bring on an un
healthy condition and render the ani
mals easy victims of hog cholera.
Barley, wheat, peas and clover or
alfalfa should also enter into the
rations. Both the health of the ani
mal and the quality of tho meat are
affected by the diet. Tho lattor is so
well recognized that pork made from
a mixed ration brings a higher price
than that made from corn exclusively.
It is worthy of careful note that iu
the great hog markets of tho world it
is not the hog from tho &reat hog
producing countries that sells at tho
highest prices, but tho meat of tho
hog from dairy sections such as Don
mark, and, to a certain extent, from
Ireland.
It is also well to remember that fat
tening animals ought not to be fed
longer than necessary to bring thorn
up to maturity. It is a well-established
fact that gain can bo made in
hogs weighing 200 pounds luudh
cheaper than in thoso weighing 400
or over. Feeding and trying to fat
ten old animals is not paying busi
ness, generally speaking, as proper
returns are not obtained for tho food
consumed. New York World,
FARM AND GARDEH NOTES.
Look out for fire during dry times.
Sow some rye if short of pasturage
or forage.
It is bour milk, not separated milk,
that hurts the calves.
Character is always writing its name
indelibly on tho face.
If milk is put in sour cans no steril

Don't feed cold milk to a small calf.
Feeding three times a day is best.
Overproduction of inferior produots

Bed clover is one of the very best
friends of the farmer if rightly usod.
Sco that the roosters have firm flesh.
Tho flabby ones are no good for
breeding.
Soapsuds aro an excellent fertilizer
for grapes on account of the potash
they contain.
It docs not injure the keeping
qualities of butter to niako it from
sterilized cream.
There are farms where moro head
work would bring better results than
more hard work.
Evaporation from the soil may be
largely prevented by the use of a
mulch on the surface.
Pullets hatched in July and August
will give you eggs during Lent, when
tho demand 19 unusual.
The way the plow is adjusted has
much to do with tho draft as wall as
tho quality of work done.
It is a wise policy to breed what tho
market calls for and for which the
best prices are being paid.
Iowa dairymen find that sweet corn
makes the best flavored bntter, but
not so mnch as other feeds.
The milk-can on the steps at tho
fanner's gate is a sign of prosperity,
and in time it will lift the mortgage.
When you sco a weed don't wait to
have it "identified." Kill it at once,
bo it Russian thistle or a native pest.
The roots of poor trees run very
near the snrfaoo of the soil, and care
must be taken when plowing near
the in.
riow around your hay and grain
stacks. Plow half a dozen furrows
aud mako them somo distance from the
stacks.
Sterilized cream is bettor for mak
ing ice cream than that which is not
sterilized. It will swell more in freez.

No ono objects, or has the riurht to
object, to oleoinargariuc, sold as oleo
margarine. But thero are the best
and strongest reasons for objecting to
its being sold as butter.
The quick-growingkiuds of turnips,
sown late in the autumn, are very sue
culont but do not havp tho nutritive
qualities that belongs to the Ruta
baga family or even the White tur
nips when sown earlier.
Pears are ready to be picked whon
the stein parts readily from the spur
when raised by the haud. The fruit
should always be picked by thus rais
ing it up, instead of pulling it off.
Aim to leave the stem on the pear.
No remedy has been found for tho
penr blight which has been affecting
quinces iu many localities. All dis
eased twigs should be cut and burned,
aud aflected limbs should be cut oil a
foot below the discoloration point.
Tho first essentiuls of good butter
making are patience, cleanliness, go)d
judgment, aud hard work. Proper
feeding of the cow is the ttsrtiug
point, and theu tho most absolute
eleuuliuess from baru to shipping-case.
Heavily-laden limbs should be sup
ported by wires from a common point
near the top of the tree. This method
is an improvement on tho old wooden

now TO TRIM A LAMP.
Thero is such a vast difference be
tween tho quality and quantity of
light given by a keroscno lamp prop
erly trimmod and that piven by tho
same lamp nnskillfully trimmed that
it, is surprising any person of average
observation will endnro tho light
givon by a badly trimmed lamp for
cvon a singlo hour. But few people
can trim a kerosene lamp properly,
and not many people who read or sew
by kerosene lamp seem to mind it.
Many implements for trimming
lamps have been invented, but few of
them aro of any signal valno. The
bost instrument for trimming a lamp
wick is the human forefinger. It is
much superior to a pair of scissors.
Whether tho wick bo cylindrical or
straight, turn it up nutil the part that
is thoroughly oharred is exposed, hold
the wick firmly in place with the
screw and rub off the charred portion.
A little practice will enable one to
make a perfectly straight., smooth
edge to a wick this way, and a Binglo
wipe on a piece of paper or cloth will
clcause tho fiugor.
Lastly, bo caroful not to lot any of
the charred refuse from the wick stick
on tho bnrnor, where it will obstruct
tho draught of tho lamp. Brush it off
or blow it off, and keep tho draught
clear. New York Mail and Express
TrlC ART IN GOOD 801T.
In the art ot cooking there are un
4ld details to be learned, and among
them the most important in that great
art tho making of soup. A notod
traveler once remarkod, "Oh, the bad
soups I have eaten at people's houses 1"
The old-fashioned soup of fifty years
ago was a thick glutinous mass which
was a dinner in itself. When the soup
was done tho soup meat from which
the soup was me-do was served and con
sidered an excellent dish. But nowa
days the soup has becomo a soparate
institution, the commenoement of tho
dinner after tho half dozen oystera
are served.
In this age the French sonp is tho
delicate liquid that is usually given
It requires a genius of a home womau
to accomplish this desirable end, lor
it is only ono iu a hundred of ordinary
families, whose cooks aro not np to
the mark iu all dishes, that really can
make a srood pot of soup. For the
breakfast a la fourchette, the soup, if
ono is to be part of the menu, should
bo licrht and delicate, and for dinner
tho same should bo served.
, Meat for soup should always be lean,
and that from the shank is excellent
It is muscular and full of nutriment.
For every quart ot soup allow ono
nouud of meat without fat. It should
bo washed, then placod in a kettle with
ono auart and a pint ot ool.t wator and
a toaspoonful of salt. After boiling
slowly for five hours there will bo only
one quart of the liqnid, tho extra pint
having been lost by evaporation. New

It has always been a hobby of
mino, sniil i. 1m urimsnaw, oi
Raleigh, N. C, "to collect strango
bugs and insects duri ig my travels,
and I think I have succeoded in get
ting together a pretty choico collec
tion. Of tho wholo assortmontl think
the chameleon snider, which I got last
summer in the ooost of Africa, is the
most valuable The capture of this
insect was highly interesting to mo.
Ono afternoon, while tramping along
a dusty road, I noticed in the bushes
which grew along tho side what ap
peared to be a singnla:-looking white
flower, with a blue centre. Htoppiug
to examino it I found, to my astonish
ment, that it was not a flower at all,
but a spider's web, and that tho sup
posed light bine heart of the flower
was the spider itself, lying in wait for
its prey. The mottled brown legs ol
the spider were extended iu such a
way as to resemble the divisions op
tweon tho petals of a flower.
'Tho web itself, very ilelicately
woven into a rosette pattern, was
white, and the threads that suspended
it from the bushes were so nno as to
be almost invisible. Tho whole thing
had the appearance of boing suspend
ed in the air upon a stem concealed
beneath. Upon knocking tho spider
from bis perch into tho whito gauze
not which I carried, my surprise was
greatly increased by seeing my cap
tive instantly turn in color from blue
to white, I shook the net, and again
tho spider changed color, this time its
body becoming a dull greenish brown.
As often as I would shake the nut just
so often would the spider change its
color, and I kept it up nntil it had as
sumed about every hue of tho rain
bow." St. Louis Olobo-Democrat.
