Let him who doubts it watch our corn fields in winter, where two- fifths of the food raised still remains to bo destroyed by the elements ; let him nntch our burning straw stacks and onr wasteful methods of feeding; the waste of manure, tho wiste by in judicious ueo of foodp, and the conse quent failure to get tho best returns in meat and milk. Where a sum like tho nbove 13 involved tho proper or improper nee of food may make the difference of hundreds of millions ol dollars annually." BIT.T2EX SITE EI OS AX ACRE. An experiment is being conducted by Txofefscr Shaw, at tho experiment farm, says the Northwestern Farmer, which certainly means a good deal, not only to the Northwest, but to till the United States. Ho has undertaken to pasture six sheep nnd ten lambs on an aero of land. The experiment is suc ceeding beyond his expectations. The food is nt tho present time nearly two months ahead of the sheep. They are doios splendidly on the food," nnd have kept in perfect health from the first. His plan is to sow a succession of foods, so there will always bo some thing for theshecp on one or theother of the plots. The acre is divided into four plotr, and the sheep are pastured on these iu succession. The harrow is (jenerally used on each p'.ot after it has been pastured, nnd in eome in stances fresh seed is sown. The sen eon has, of course, been very favora ble, but to off-et that, in part at liaflst, the land is not so good as the average prairie soil, nnd it has not been innnnred for several yeare. Professor Shaw says he has not cx bansted all the resources in this line, and be is hopeful that as a large num ber of sheep and lambs can be kept on nn acre of well prepared land in a dry year. Let it be bornn in mind that the fbeep are pastured none of the food is cut for them. A bulletin will be issued giving all the particulars at the close of the pasturing season. THE BROOD SOW. From the present until breeding time brood eows should be allowed tho pleasure of lurge pasturago and com fortable sleeping apartments. She fcbould have no grain. Her nutritive; system should have rest. She should be reduced in fat if not already so re duced. The reduction should progress until she is lean and lank and ablo to stand a good chase. Such training as this rests np the fat and flesh forming functions of the body aud gives the blood opportunity to fully absorb all effete matters in the system, provided proper sanitary relations are observed, both as to food, drink and breath. A sow whose ago or ill treatment will prevent her going through such a training and coming out ns fresh and vigorous ns a young gilt is not a fit progenitor for the next crop of pigs. The fat of the brood eow should in crease a little daily from the dute of copulation until farrowing time, nt which time she should be comfortably fat. A clumsy condition at farrowing time is dangerous. It also detracts from the vitality and development of the pig. It does not pay either for treedir of feeding stock to use lame, logy or decrepit eows. Hereditary tendencies may be great or small, but certain it is that, with the animal as with tbo plants, nothing but perfect forms imbued with strongest vitality can produce ilesirnblo and profitable offspring. The boar should be nt the lowest state of flesh now, aud should begin to fatten and so continue until the breeding period begins. llural Life. SlEASUEINa HAY IN TUB STACK. We are often asked how to measure hay, and while we have had some ex perience, we prefer to adopt that of others to our own. The Northwestern Agriculturist on this subject very cor rectly savs that measuring is a very crude, nusutisiuctory method of csti mStiug the weight of hay. There are times, however, when it is imprac ticable, to nte the scalef, and a close approximation to tho true weight will answer nil purposes. Then, by taking into consideration that tine, soft bay will pack more closely than a coarser, stiller quality, that when cut early in the seutou it will bectimo more solid nnd stiff thau lute cut tiny, that the degree of dryness when htacked will atltct tho weight, that tho compact nets of the lower part of the snek or load is affected by the height, the time it has ttnod, or the distance and kind of roud it has traveled over, it is quite possible for a person of ordinary experience and judgment to make uu estimate of the quantity iu a loa.l or mow.

The price of horses has of late been so reduced that farmers are discour aged in horse raising. The low prioes now prevailing aro due to a want of demand, on account of the electrio car system, which has been so gener ally established throughout the cities and some parts of the countrv for rapid transportation. This is, no doubt, in some part the cause of the weak demand for horses in tho markets. Theie in, however, another cause. which will be found in over produc tion. A fow years ago tho horse craze, as it may be called, prevailed among farmers, and there waa scarcely anv ono who was not breeding either first- class roadsters or blooded drivers. For these for a few years first-class prices were obtained, and tho demand which was at the time a fictitious one, produced by a sort of boom in horse flesh, produced an oversnpplv. and now there are too many horses for the market, which has for tho tine been somewhat diminished by the electrio car lines. But good horses are alwavs desira ble, and will in the near future bring better prices than now. Farmers will understand what they need, and for a while, perhaps, tho supply will be short of the demand, but the price will again settle to a fair compensa tion for the trouble and risk in rais ing good horses. Good family horses will always be in demand in the cities and in the prosperous villages. Cars may carry men to business, and wo men to do their shopping, but there is a demand, in hours not spent in busi ness, for a carriage horse to supply a neeit, lelt by almost every well-to-do family, that may have a restful airing in the country or in tho parks and suburbs of thn city. Farmers would do well to turn their attention to rais ing horses to supply this want. Horses should be raised of the best blood, not for the turf, but for the carriage, ana as mucn care should be taken in their training for this purpose, as is necessary to produce good condi tioned, quiet, trusty horses suited to driving through all the bnstle and noises of the city. This will require time and care in the trainer, but suoh horses will al ways have a good sale, and can be profitably raised. Oive us good family horses and the demand will be sufficient to pay the producer a good profit. Farm News. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. A few aoies seeded to rye will fur nish an early and late succulent bite for the cows in milk. . Rotation of crops enables tho land to'provide plant food for a greater va riety of plants at the least coBt to the farmer. See that your early pnllots aro in their winter quarters and fed nourish ing food that they get at their winter's work in good soason. Experiments demonstrate that cooked potatoes have a feoding value equal of twenty-five per cent. o that of corn. For pigs, especially when mixed with ground feed, cooked pota toes are .a very satisfactory feed. Better wait a month or more yet be fore having the cow served, so as to bring the calf later in the season. It pays better to havo tho cows calf in the fall months, when milk aud butter are not so plentiful as in May and June. This is a good year for the stock feeder, for whilo the price of grain is low, the supply of feeding stock is not great enough to depress the market below fair prices. If yon can secure) stock to fed, by all means keep your grain and turn into meat. Scouring in calves usually indicates indigestion and is to bo prevented bw rational feeding and good care. It may be cheeked by a teaspoonful of lime water in each feed. Regular at tendance and attention to all the wants of the animal lie at the foundation of successful stock management. Corn on the eob well ground with half tha bulk of oats, and mixed with cut hay, makes a valuable ration for both horses and cows. Tho German cavalry have ordered just such a sup ply for their horses. Not even the ruminant cow will digest tho wholo grains without waste. The horse does worse because he does not remasti-cat-.-. When celery first began to be gen erally used there was a great demand for the large or "giant" varieties. It was soon found, however, that some of tho smaller kinds of celery hud a de licious nutty flavor, and were so much Mipcrior as to compensate for their iletieieuoy ia size. As oelery its at best a luxury, it is quality rather thau quautity that will most affect its price. It is best to crowd heifers at two years to their full eapucity? Give them what they will eat and ussimiluto and keep them at work from the first. Ufteu tuey will not do as well the see oud year as the first, but do better the third year. A study of the nature of rations is absolutely necessary, bo cause, as tho cow grows older moro carbonaceous food is necessary. Fau cets' Review, HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS, lmrsrtitR. Kitchen brushes can be put to a va riety of uses. For tho washing of dishes with handles, the outside of iron kettles and other cooking utensils made of iron, they are especially ser viceable. The smaller sir.es are also excellent for oleaning out glass waro; in fact, any kind of wnro with raised figures or corrugated surfaces. For cleaning a grater nothing is superior to ono of these little brushes. Such a brush is also most useful for wnshiug celery or lettnoe, as the un even surfaces of tho stalk nnd leaves make n thorough cleansing with tho hands a difficult operation. Then if one uses a brush with handle, ice water, which adds to the crispness of the celery and lettuce, may be used for the cleaning, as there will be no necessity for putting the hands in the water. A small whisk broom is also valuable for the nnuio purpose. Such vegetables as potatoes, tur nips, etc., are best cleaned with a brush. It makes work less disagreea ble, ns the hands need not bo soiled ; nnd in no other way can the cleaning bo so well and thoroughly done Farm, Field and Fireside. rSKS FOn CHKKSEfXOTrf.

Take three cups of boiled grits, ono enp of corn meal, two eggs and two teaspoonfuls of yeast powder. Beat well together, bake and servo hot with country butter. "And by the woy," continued this interesting housekeeper,' "I always have made my own yeast powder for the past twenty years, nud will give you my home recipe, which is unfail ing in the proportions I have given for hominy bread.

The light ray is thrown through a lens on a glass ves sel containing, lamp black, colored silk, worsted, or other substanoes. A dish having alits or openings out in it is made to revolve swiftly in this beam of light so as to cut it np, making alternate flashes of light and shadow. On putting tho car to the glass vessel, strange sonnds are heard so long as the flashing beam ia falling upon it. Another phase ot this re niarkablo discovery is still more in teresting. A beam ot sunlight is passed through a prism. The diso is turned and the colored light of tbo solar spectrum is made to break through it. If the ear be placed to the vessel containing the silk, wool or other material, as the colored lights fall npon it, sounds will bo given bv different parts of the speotrum, aud there will be silence in some other parts. To illustrate, if the vessel con tains red worsted and the green light flashes upon it, lond sounds will be heard if the red aud blue rays fall upon it, and other colors make no sound at all. Orccn silk gives sound test in red light. It is by no meaus improbable that this discovery fore shadow a new law of harmonics, and Komington's experiments in tone color may possibly, by this new ap plication of sight and sound, result in some practical theory which will give ns an entirely new scheme of music. The thing is but in i ts infancy, but the mere fact that suoh a discovery has been made cannot but forecast important results. Invention. . "A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned."
