Farm, Garden and Household. WHICH PAYS BEST? How often do we hear farmers ask this question ? Which will pay me best, cattle or sheep ? Now, there is much difference of opinion on this question. Those that keep cattle claim that they are the most profitable, and those that keep sheep think the same of their flocks. I claim that sheep are the most profitable, and I will try and prove it. Take, for instance, a two year-old steer, weighing 1,000 pounds, worth 4 cents a pound, or S4O ; what is the cost of raising to that age ? First year to milk, grain and hay, sl2; one summer's pasture, $4 ; six , months' feeding bay and grain, sl6 ; making the total cost $32. This is a very low estimate, everything being down to the lowest notch. Now, you gee that it has cost $32 to raise this steer, and he is sold for S4O. Subtract his keeping from what he sold for and you have the profit of SB. This is counting nothing for trouble, allowing * the manure to balance that. Now for the sheep. It will cost to raise and keep eight lambs until the\ are one year old, for pasture, hay and grain, S2O; making their total cost from birth until two years old $32. Now for the other side. Eight head of sheep, weighing 125 pounds per head, making 1,000 pounds at 4 cents per pound, is S4O. Two clips of wool, 16 fleeces, weighing 5 pounds per fleece, makes 80 pounds of wool; at 32 cents per pound, $25.60. Now take the S4O that the sheep sold for, and you have $65.60 as total receipts. Subtract cost from this and you have $33.60 profit on eight sheep against $8 profit on steer, both weighing the same at the same age, and both costing the same for keep, leaving a balance of $25.60 iu favor of the sheep, showing clearly that it is better to keep sheep than cattle, especially where we have small farms. I think that this esti mate is correct, taking prices in this neighborhood as a basis.— Ex. cow CHOKING. A veteran farmer told me a few days ago of a method of relieving a chokiug cow, which he assured me was unfail ing. It is worthy of trial at any rate. A round stick, two or three inches * long, is put into the cow's mouth, like a bit into a horse's mouth. A string is then fastened to each end of the stick and tied to the horns or up over the bead This forces her to keep her mouth open and allows the gas which formß in the stomach, and is the cause of the severe pain and rapid swelling which accompanies choking in a cow, to escape. The effort also of trying to rid the mouth of its unusual encum brance is the best help toward freeing the passage of the throat; if the trou ble is not removed in this way the cow may be kept alive until help is ob tained for trying other measures for her relief. In such cases time is of great importance. He assures me has seen his plan tried in many cases, and in none had it ever failed of a complete cure in less than half an hour.— Ex. WINTER TREATMENT OF POULTRY. A correspondent in addressing us on this subject, says in brief, that each fowl ought to produce 160 eggs a year; that in winter warmth is indispensa ble ; that the fowls must have some of the food they find at other seasons when at large; that they must have plenty of room in their house, and it and the laying boxes kept clean ; that they must be fed with corn, barley, oats, hive a box of sand, oyster or clam shells pounded up, or old mortar, or bones dried and pounded fine; that mashed boiled potatoes and corn meal are excellent ; that fatty matter of any kind, fresh beef or pork scraps, &c., must form a portion of their diet; that hens are fond of vegetable matter dur ing winter and will eat cabbage, &c.; and that they must be kept free from vermin, which nearly afways follows entire cleanliness. In case, however, vermin should still make their appear ance, there is nothing so effective in removing them as rubbing the top of the head, under the wings and upon the back with lard. These sugges tions wo have made time and again, and have only to add now that all who desire complete success, and, of course, satisfactory profit from poultry raising, must adopt them. TO KEEP APPLES. Apples to be good keepers must be free from bruise or blemish. They must be spread out on shelves or packed in barrels, and kept in an at mosphere of from forty to fifty de grees, better from forty to forty-five— that is at a temperature as equable as possible. Some cellars are just the thing, and preserve them beautifully. Others are too moist. Where this is the case a few bushels of stone lime should be used. Sliding shelves, six inches apart, latticed bottom with a single layer of fruit, are extremely convenient, as they allow of constant examination without disturbing the fruit. TO TIOIITEN WAGON TIRES. The following way of tightening wagon tires will be found 'to be suc cessful. Apply leather rings between the shoulders on tho outer ends of the spokes and the corresponding portions of the felloes, which may be done as follows: Procure a number of small Eieces of leather from an inch and a alf to two inches in diameter; with a sharp knife and compasses or with a cutting punch make round holes in the centres of these pieces, and make a straight cut from the boles to tho outer edge of the pieces, so as to form open rings. The holes must be made of a Bize that will nicely fit the tenons on the outer ends of the spokes. Place a fulcrum on the top of the hub, on which place your lever, with its short end under the felloe, near a spoke; have an assistant bear down on the outer end sufficiently to raise the fel loe and expose the shoulder and tenon of the spoke ; open your leather ring and fit it nicely around the tenon, holding it to its place, while your as sistant relaxes the lever and settles the felloe firmly upon the leather by a blow or two on the tire. Having re peated the process with a sufficient number of spokes to make the tire all right, trim off the projecting leather even with the surface of the spukes, and your task will be done. If your Eieces of leather should be spongy ammer them down some before using. LIME ON POTATOES. To prevent potatoes from rotting in the bins, dust the floor of the bin with lime and put in six or seven inches of potatoes, then dust as before, and put in more potatoes; using one bushel of lime to forty bushels of potatoes. The lime improves the flavor of the pota toes, and effectually kills the fungi which causes the rot. THE PENSIONERS' BUREAU. Since the passage of the arrears of pensions act fifty thousand rejected claims have been presented again to the Commissioner of Pensions. These, with the number of unsettled claims now before the bureau swell the total number to more than one hundred and eighty thousand. The number of claims received each week since the passage of the act referred to averages twenty-five hundred, which is double the number that the bureau can con sider under its present system of doing business. The Commissioner receives about twenty-two hundred letters daily from inquiring pensioners, and over twelve hundred letters sent out daily in reply. The pensioners now on the roll number about one hundred and thirty-five thousand, the list hav ing been increased more than ten thou sand during the year by the settle ment of claims of pensions of the war of 1812. Commissioner Bentlev has a plan to radically change the present system of paying pensions. It is to divide the United States into districts, which shall be under the control of a commission consisting of a surgeon and a skilled pension clerk, the duties whom shall be to attend at the prin cipal places in the district and hear evidence in application for pensions. An ingenious system of blanks has been suggested for communicating with the central office. The benefits of this plan would be to subject old claims to a more rigid examination, and to protect the Government and the pension fund against fraudulent and unmeritorious claims, and at the same time to greatly reduce the cost of the payment of pensions. The first pen sion law of which there is any knowl edge in England was the act of 1502, which authorized the payment of a weekly sum from every parish for the relief of the sick, hurt and maimed soldiers or marines. Commissioner Bentlev goes back to the original prin ciple, and relegates the question of the right to pensions to the people of the parish. The witnesses would all be neighbors of the claimants. A STRANGE COLLISION AT SEA.— The Rotterdam - "unship P. Caland, which arrived at New \ork September 1), brought the Captain and crew of a Norwegian bark which had been sunk by collision with some sea monster in mid-ocean. The bark Columbia left London for Quebeck, in ballast, August 8, and met with variable weather until the morning of the 4th of September, when she was sailing at the rate of from C to 7 miles an hour before a fair wind. The sea was not very rough, and the bark was carrying all sail and westward. The Captain was oil deck at five bells in the morning watch, when a tremendous shock, which shook the bark from stem to stern, was sud denly felt. The men who were asleep in their bunks were awakened, and thinking that the foremast had been carried away, sprang on deck Capt. Larsen ami three of his men ran to the port side and saw the water dis colored with blood, while the tail and fins of a huge monster were seen splashing about in the sea, which had lieconie violently agitated on that side of the vessel. At this moment one of the crew cried out that a leak had been sprung, and Capt. Larsen and the car penter hurried down into the hold to see if the bark had suffered any inju ries. In the port bow, about three feet below water mark, they found that four planks had been crushed in for a space about four feet long. A large hole had been made, through which the daylight above the water could be plainly seen. The water was pouring into the vessel through this hole. Sev eral attempts were made to stop it up, but failing, the bark was abandoned and sank soon after. The Captain and his crew of twelve men were fortu nately picked up by the I*. Caland the game day in the afternoon. No pre cise description of the colliding mon ster could be given. The Columbia was an old ship, but about two years ago was put on the stocks and thor oughly replanked. Her bow was made of solid four and a half inch oak planking. WIIY LINCOLN ALLOWED IIIS BEARD TO GROW. —The portrait of Mr. Lin coln was painted in 1800, during the pendency of the Presidential election, or immediately after, under an order from Mr. Bryan, then a citizen of Chicago. The face is unshaven, which gives it a rather youthful look, with out in the least improving its native homeliness. Mr. Lincoln was in the habit of explaining that lie "turned his beard loose" at the suggestion of a lady, whose knowledge of his personal appearance was confined to newspaper cuts, which fairly made him an ojjre. She wrote to him that in her woman's judgment whiskers would add much to his beauty, and if he could be per suaded to cultivate them she would kiss him the first time they ever met. The gallant rail splitter at once re stricted his tonsorial operations to the upper and nether lips, leaving them free for the oscillatory reward, and in a few weeks garnished his cheeks, chin and throat with a hirsute adorn ment, which puzzled Mrs. Lincoln and surprised his friends without, as al ready intimated, enhancing his per sonal pulchritude. As the necessary conclusion to this "owcr true tale," it chanced that he and the unknown lady met, a'ld the promised reward was claimed and received. THERE is a certain logic in business which is exceedingly fascinating, and a great many persons do business in the logical way to which we refer. Instance : A gentleman bought a horse of a dealer who was never before known to get the wrong end of a bar gain for his portion. The agreement and a very simple and fair one it appeared to be—was that one-half of the price should be paid down and that the buyer should owe for the other half. When the horse dealer, how ever, presented himself ami demanded the pay our logician replied that the horse had been paid for. "Ilow can that be?" cried the unhappy jockey. "It's as clear as the light," replied the man of superior inteligence. "Our agreement was that I should pay you one-half your price, which I did, and that I should owe you for the other lialf." "Exactly," said the jockey, "those were the precise words, and now I've come for the other half; don't you see?" "1 prefer to stand by my agreement, for I am a man of my word," the philosopher responded, 'and how in the world can I owe you for the second half of your price, as I .promised I would, if I pay it? No, |my friend. I'll -stick to my bargain [and owe you, just as I said I would." Qpj# X LIVEKY.
