For tbo second time the Denton collection of butterflies and moths is on exhibition at the American art gal leries in New York. Last year this collection attracted ranch attention, and this roar it returns nearly dou ble in size, and inoluding lepidoptera from all parts of the world. In order to obtain some of these specimens, the collectors braved the dangers of ex ploration in islands infected by can nibals and threaded the jungles of India. One of the notable new Bpeoi mens is the owl moth of Brazil, which measures moro than foot from wine tip to wing tip. Unlike the collections of last year, this collection is"not for sale piecemeal. If it is not sold clnr ins the exhibition, which will last three weeks, Mr. Denton will take it to London and exhibit it there. There are about ,1300 specimens, exclusive of duplicates.

One way to do this is to cook part of their food ; this alono adds variety if we use but one grain and feed part of it raw and part of it cooked. Fowls prefer some foods cooked rather than raw ; others raw to cooked, and their preference should be consulted, Care roust be used in feeding cooked food t'o laying or breeding stock, as it is more fattening than raw food. In cold weather cooked food may be fed warm and is greotly relished. As cooked food is more easily digested than raw, it is best to feed raw grain nt night, as the time till the morning feed is longer than between the other feedings. Corn is an excellent evening meal, and in winter it is well to warm it before feeding. The simplest way to cook poultry feed is to boil it. The grains corn, wheat, buckwheat, rice may be boiled or steamed. If boiled they should be kept from the bottom of the vessel by mean? of a perforated plate of sheet iron. Mush may be made from any of the grains ground and fed when fresh made or cold. If fed fresh be sure it is not too hot. Fowls have died from being fed fool that was too hot, Beets, turnips, potatoes, pumpkins, may be boiled, roasbed and tine pud ding made by thickening them with meal of any kin J, bran or middlings, or a mixture of these. The pudding will be more civilized if the vegetables are cleaned before being cooked. Farm, Field and Fireside. some ornnoN about horses. The National Stockman and Farmer pnblithes the following opinions about raising horses. They are given by farmers: It is well to raise colts enough for our own use and besides have come moro coming. It takes more potatoes or oats to bny a horse than it did a few years ago, And it costs about as much to ruise them now as then, So it is very essential that we should have colts coming on eaoh year, so that we may have a horse or two to sell wlien they are nve or six years old, as then they are able to do any kind of work. 1 think it pays better to raise colls that will weigh irom twelve to fifteen hundred. I buy and sell a good many horses dnr ing a year, and find when I have horses of that weight that I do not have to look for a market for them ; as for driving horses, I should not want them to weigh less than twelve hun dred. There are plenty of good dri vers of that weight. HorseB should be kept in tho very best condition into which you can get them ; you can keep them cheaper than by keeping them iuiu m ucdu, nun lurj wm unu8 more in the market, I think that I can sell my hay and oats at a better price to ieeu iuem to a young, sounu horse until he gets in first rate condi tion, ana then sell him, than to sell them to the market for what they will bring, besides keeping the farm in good condition. UeorKO W. Auber, The raising of trotting stock by farmers is a question of the past Feroherons and that class of stallions should be used with our best mares, producing colts that will bring paying prices when properly cared for and trained. Five years is abont the best age for marketing colts. At that age, it brought up properly, they have re turned their own part of their cost in work performed, and thould be prop erly trained, developed, and fitted for their life work. A horje for general farm work should weigh between twelve and fourteen hundred. Horses of that weight cost less for keeping, in lirouortion to t hoso lighter or heavier, 'the feeding of farm horses is a question worthy of much consul t ration. The majority feed too much bulky food. Less hay and more con centrated feed will Keep the hurte in better form, better health, and belter condition to do heavy work and be less expensive. Regularity in fee iiug, watering, groouiiug aud beddiug borves is essentiul to their comfort, and reduces the cost of maintenance more than a little.

If set on shelves, nowever, id uuunr w pantry, or even in milk room, tne temperature of tne man win oe suu- ject to wide changos. On extremely cold days in winter it will be very likely to freeze, and frozen cream never onght to be used for making butter that is to be soul, as it is in ferior in quality. In very hot weather it is almost impossible to prevent milk so set from souring before the cream is fully risen, so that thereby ft loss ... A 1 ensue, isuoiua ine mus sour o iop . th . Jg lropOB8ible to ekim ei r the cream from the surface without gathering in some curds, more or los of whioh are frequently left in the churn among the ivntter, from which they cannot bo entirely separated, tnue injuring the quality. The deep can offers a belter oppor tunity for keeping the milk under con ditions favorable to maintaining ne good quality until skimmed. Tho can may be set in oold spring water, where available, and the temperature ol the milk kept quite oonstant. Or the can may be placed in a creamer in cold well water or in ice water, and so set in a cold bath, as it were at a low tem perature, with the milk exposed to no undesirable atmospherio odors. The surfaoe of milk exposed in snob, a can, is comparatively small, as compared with the larger pans, ana tnere is a thicker layer of cream in consequence. Usually the cream is skimmed from the pans by means of a common hand skimmer or a laree flat scoop, while the commonest form of deep can ii creamed with a conical skimmer or dipper. Many deep cans, however, have lancets or valves in tne sine at the bottom, or in the bottom, through which the skim milk is drawn off leav ing the cream in the cau. This is ft better way of skimming than by re moving from the top with a skimmer, as the cream is left undistaibed in the can, and not mixed more or less with the milk below, daring the process ol skimming. There is always some loss ot cream in skimming by any hand process, but more by the old fashioned surface methods than by the more modern withdrawing of the skim milk from below without disturbing the operation. At the Indiana Experi ment Station very careful experiments were conducted comparing the skim ming from the surface of cans, and drawing off the milk from below. Dur ing fifteen days in February, the aver age loss from surface skimming was 0.3i per cent., while that skimmed from below showed a loss of but 0.17 per cent. This makes a very impcr tant difterence, wnere one is selling larze Quantities of milk As has already been indicated, mm shonld be net in tome place where smnlla are reduced to ft minimum, and wnere the temperature is constant and low. For this reason ft creamer or cabinet for setting milk in is very de sirablc, where a good spring bouse ie lacking. In faot, if ft constant cut' rent of cold spring water could be con veved through a creamer, the milk would be set under better conditions than whore simply placed in open spring water. As a rule it would be better protected irom external agen cies that miaht otherwise injure it.
