J A tongb. looking individual recently
on trial in this city was defended by
one of the most noted criminal law
yers of the metropolis. The lawyer,
in a voice hnsky with emotion, plead'
cd with the jury that his client was e
poor man driven by hanger to take
email sum of money. All he wanted,
said the lawyer, was enough money to

fact that ho did not take ft pocketbook

BHTlUnB AS A VEGETABLE,
After the rhnbarb has served its
puipoo by giving us its leaf stalks in
early spring, it often throws up nn
immense bunch of flowers. An Eug
lixh writer status that if this head of
flowers is cut off, And treated like
cauliflower, it is just as good and do
sirable. One would suppose that thoro
whs something of tho acid taste of tho
stalks in this flower head; but this
writer says not. Many plants have a
greai difference between the elements
in their flowers or frnit and the
loaves. We can, for instance, cat a
tomato, nnd find it both healthful
and ngrceable ; but if wo wero to
venture to eat a handful of tomato
leaves, they would probably be tho
end of us. Those who nro on the
lookout for new vegetables might,
however, make a trial of the rhubarb
flowers. It may bo noted that tho
tomato is very closely related to the
tobacco, nnd equally poisonous with
that celebrated plant. Moehan's

The shedding of the hair is a natural
function of all domestie animals ex
cept tho sheep, which will retain its
fleece ior two years if it is not shorn,
after which it, too, sheds its coat.
The molting of birds is an analogous
process, and there is no difference ex
cept in form iu tho character of tho
Lair and feathers. This shodding
procoss goes on naturally when tho
animal is in good health, otherwise it
is either wholly or partly stopped,
and the old hair is retained while tho
skin becomes hard and dryandcovered
with eruptions of small itching
vehicles. Tho skin in the spring is in
a very active condition bv reason of a
greatly increased circulation of the
blood, doubtless to supply the growth
of hair, and also of tho new skin, the
old skin peeling off in small dry scales.
Thus it is very necessary to keep the
animal in the beat of health by giving
sort laxative food at the season when
the shedding of the coat is expectod.

THU VALUE OP THE ARTICHOKE.
The plant going by tho common
name of the artichoke is not the Teal
artichoke, a garden vegetable, having
large, thick, fleshy heads, that are
cooked and eaten much in the same
way as the cauliflower is. The arti
choke referred to is a speoies of the
sunflower family, and has a flower like
a small sunflower growing at the top
ot a tall, tmok stem. lhe root is
tuberous and grows deeply in the soil.
It is eaten as the potato is and resem
bles that tuber quito closely. It ie,
however, of much less value than the
potato, as the tubers grow too deeply
to be gathered, except by digging with
a spade. Many attempts are con
stantly made by dishonest persons to
mislead the publio that is not aware of
the facta into spending inoncy for
seod nndcr grossly inaccurate titate
lnents of its value. It is worthless for
all practical purposes, and, worse, for
once planted it occupies the ground
permanently as a pernicious weed, tho
tubers lying too deeply iu the ground
to bo got out, making tho plant grow
year after year in spite of efforts to
eradicate it. It is iu no sense of tho
word a substitute for the potato.

TIMOTHY HAT.
Timothy hay needs much less car
ing than clover, and can bo put in
eately in good weather the day it is
cut. Waldo F. Brown writes to tho
Ohio Farmer :
"I prefer, however, a cut in tho
afternoon, when it is free from all ex
ternal moisture, turu it just before
noon the next day and at one o'clock
turn a second time, aud in half an
bour start the teams to taking it in.
I learned by a losing experience that
it is necessary to have ventilution un
der the floor of a hay bay. I built a
bay barn Ave or six years ago and laid
a floor on mud bills, only a few inches
above the ground, and fouud nearly
a ton of musty hay in tho bottom of a
buy 24x11 feet in sizo. I then raised
my mud sum and placed tueui on
stones, so as to allow a space cf a foot
under them. I do not use sills at ml
in a hay bum, but stand tho posts ou
the fouudutiou aud spike a 2kH joint to
thein to hold thum iu place, mid then
place timbers on stoiio to support the
floor joibtd, so tluit the weight of tho
bay rests ou ; the ground and not on
the frame of the burn. For our own
use we prefer mixed hay, clover and
timothy, aud the mammoth clover is
bout, us it ripens with the timothy;
but not over two pounds of soed to tho
acre should bo sown, or tho timothy is
likoiy to be smothered out entirely
the next season. Another Advantago
of this thin seeding iu that tho tim
othy keeps tho clover from falling
down nud helps it to cure better. 1
have never found mamuoth clover
satisfactory for hay when sown by it
Felf, but with timothy it largely in
creases tho yield of hay and cures oat
so as to bo eaten by all stock as woll
as the medium clover."

It will not do to determine nny
vexed question in tho management of
cons or other farm nnimals without
1 ong nnd repeated trial and experience.
Tho greates. mistakes Are mado by
this imperfect testing of the effect of
foods, for instance, on tho milk pro
duct. A month is not at all sufficient
time to dotcrraine any question of the
kind. And yet there aro Alleged
scientific experimenters who Are satis
fled with a terra of threo days' feeding
to decide most important questions,
involving millious of dollars in thoir
results on tho profits of tho dairy.
Foods for an animal are very much
aunlogous to fuel for fires. We
cstimato the valua of foods by
the boat equivalent, ns wo term the
effects of the nutriment on the eystom,
whether for support of tho animal or
the product of it. Those who follow
the reports of the trials of new war
ships must have remarked how impor
tant a matter it is to tho success of the
speed tests to have very best f nol. How
experts nro employed to- Boleot the
coal, piece by piece, so that every
pound of it may generate the greatest
possiblo heat to niako the steam to
move tho engines that forco the hugo
vessel through tho water.
Just in the same way, at that nota
ble test of dairy cows held at the great
exposition in Chicago, over two years
Rgo, the first And most trusted expert
was employed to soleot tho food for the
cows there contesting the palm of su
periority in their special fitness for
the dairy. This was reasonable, and
it goes to show how important it is
that every one interested in the feed
ing of cows for profit should do ns
much ot the samo for himsolf in deoid
ing just what foods should be chosen.
It is not as it was . but a few years
ago, when food was food, and there
was no choice between the kinds of it.
It is true that the old kinds, tho stand
ards, such as bran, corntneal, oats,
middlings, linsoed oil meal, made by
the old process by mere pressure, then
varied very little in feeding value, and
it wns not worth the timo spent to
examino them further than to note
the results of the feeding iu the quan
tity and quality of the products. Hut
now we have long lists of waste pro
ducts which are of use for foeding, all
varying in value as to their feeding
qualities, and all of them need an
exact analysis to dotermino tho value.
Thus, the feeder must be vory careful
to ascertain what the actual valuo of
what he buys is before ho pays Lis
money for it.
to improve Easa.
To improve tho rich yellow of the
egg Mr. Wheeler, of the Agricultural
Experiment Station of New York, says :
"The color of the yolk of the egg
seems often to be affected very notice-,
ably by a change in the food. It is
frequently the case that from fowls
closely confined in winter or summer
having little variety of food, end espe
cially a ration deficient in green food,
show pale colored yolks. A change in
the amount of meat or fresh bouos
does not always seem to have much in
fluence. I have known hens that had
the run ot the barn and barnyard to
lay eggs with much darker colored
yolks than did neighboring hens con
fined, but fed better in most respects.
In ono instanoe a much deeper orange
color in the'yolk followed a change is
feeding to green clover and alfalfa.
One lot, where pale colored yolks were
the rule, laid eggs with orange colored
yolks after they had been given the
run of a barn floor covered with dry
clover, chaff and leaves. A change in
color of butter is often noticeable in
the same way when cows are turned to
pasture after dry feed. Clover, hay
nnd corn or alfalfa hay is good to feed
hens when the fresh fodder cannot bo
had, and may help to bring about the
change desired."
The color of ft chicken lias little to
do with the laying qualities, although
there are some who will say that white
fowls lny more eggs than colored, and
vice versa. I am inclined to believe
that if there is any great difference it
would bo in favor of oolored fowls. In
Cochins, Whito, Black and Partridge
are considered better layers than Butt.
In tho Leghorn class the Buff seems to
lead both the White and Brown : but
we doubt whether this has been thor
oughly tested. Borne of the finest egg
producers I ever saw were White faced
Black Spanish and also Uoudaus, both
of which are extensively kept for egg
production as well as their gonerul
good points as fancy fowls. Even the
beautiful Light Brahma fowls have
wonderful records. One can soon (lis
cover, by actual comparison, what
breed ho prefers. New York I ado

directly from this source. Every day we hear
of some poor woman beaten to death by a

poisonous liquor sold to him by those whom
we license. For the sake of a few dollars
men spend their lives iu makiug nud selling
these dreadful poisons. Suit-protection re

We sing "Come, Gentle Spring," and are
often very sorry that we did anything of the
kind, for Spring, though beautiful, Is some
times very painful. The very luxury we en
joy tn the return of the balmy air is the
latent source of a great many pains and
aches. It Is because the nerves are relaxed
in this way thai they become weak aud au
easy nruy to sudUcu uttacks 01 neuralgia; u
touio of oold, healthful air braces them up
and makes them strong against any such at
tack, but the suibleu change to warmin
makes them liable to be preyed upon by this
ilisease. f or tins simple rcuson 1110 great

but we have in St. Jacobs Oil something that
restores tho tone, vigor an 1 strength of tho
nerves to what they hud been. The prompt
use of it iu these neuralgic ullucks 01 spring
