SCIENTIFIC FEEDING OF ANIMALS. It is much the fashion now to feeii animals on what is known as a scientific ration, and all the science about it is thai the foods are compounded of various elements. The excellence of this method is that one of these helps to digest the others, and thus the wholo food is more nutritious and healthful. It is tho same in our own eating. A variety of food if not only agreeable, but more digestible and useful. This is understood by tho professors of dietetics, who vary the food as much as possible, making up a ration that is more nutritious and effec tive than any single article of it.—New York Tribune. •* THE CCD OK A COW. Rumination is a part of the digestive process, aud in it the cow brings up from the first stomach, or rumen, a quid or cud of the food. This may bo seen to pass up the gullet when the cow is in the act of ruminating. A cow cannot "lose her cud." This term is commonly used to signify that tho function is sus pended from some disturbance of the digestive process, and the remedy for trouble is simply to restore the action by giving a dose of one pint or a quart of raw linseed oil, or as much melted lard, by which the stomach is relieved of its load of undigested food. A cud cannot be given to a cow; it is a natural part of the digestiou of the food, and not a thing like a chew, or quid, or cud of tobacco, which a man may take.—New York Times. no a rnoi.ERA AND INOCULATION. Farmers' Bulletin No. 8, of the United States Department of Agriculture, pre pared by Dr. D. E. Salmon, Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry, consists of a review of several attempts made in re cent years for the protection of swiue against, hog cholera by inoculation. It presents a large amount of evidence gathered from those who have tried it, giving the results of their experience, as also a full repoit of the inoculation ex periments conducted in La Salle County, Illinois, last year under the supervision of a committee of farmers. Dr. Sal mon's couclusious, based upon the evi dence which he presents in this bulletin upon the results of the investigations made by the buroau on the subject, is that inoculatiou as a preventive against hog cholera is a failure from whatever point of view it be regarded, and the farmers are warned against the use of that method, which he shows to have been in many cases more fatal than the disease it is intended to prevent. As au instance of this ho cites the fact that whereas the losses following inoculatiou in Nebraska during the past year were ten per cent., the losses among tminocu lated animals were but four per cent. Copies of the bulletin may be had upon application to the Secretary ol Agricul ture, Washington, 1). C. ) FEED THE II ROWING CHICKS WELL. In June and July your early spring chickeus arc growing more rapidly than at any other period of the year. They love tl'.e warm weather, if I hey are of the larger varieties, especially; and if they have roaming room, they cannot well be over-fed, because they find such a variety of insect and green food in the course of their daily journeys around the farm or country plat. Their condition is quite different from that of adult or maturely grown fowls. These may be over-fed easily, anil will put ou fat internally, to their discom fiture and detriment. But the young stock, in good thrift, couvert what they cat into flesh, bone and muscle, and con tinue to thrive dating the heated season upon all they will ordinarily pack away in their craws, particularly if allowed a variety of good provender. Don't stint them, therefore, in feed ing, but give them all they wdl eat up cleau. Thus they will grow in stature and keep geuerally in good health. It is a mistake to under-feed the growing chickens. They require more solid food from the time they are three to six or seven months of age, in proportion, than at any time before or afterward iu their lives. This fact is worth observ ing and remembering by all who aim to have the "best birds" in tiie succeeding fall aud winter, annually. —American Poultry Yard. lIt'MANIC WATERING OF HORSES. That a horse should never be watered ofteuer than three times a day, or iu twenty-four hours, is a mistaken idea aud brutal practice. A horse's stomach is very sensitive and will suffer under the least interference, causing a feverish con dition. Feeding a horse principally ou grain and drivtug it tire huurs without water is like giviug a man salt in tckerul for dinner ami not allowing him to drink before supper.

FARM AND GAIIDKN NOTES. Hoses should have rich soil. Ordinarily the narcissus is from bulbelc, which flower the second year. It does not pay to raise tomato plants when only a limited supply is required. A good many farmers have prepared their oat land with a disk harrow in stead of a plow this season. Raising horses is a profitable industry for the farmer, as a rule, where the colts are produced from mares kept for work. In England there is a standard size for eggs. All which require more thau fifteen to make a pound sell at a re duced price. With practical poultrymen the Minor cas are steadily growing Iu favor as egg producers. Among other good qualities they lay iarge eggs. The surest way to lessen your own particular agricultural depression is to reduce the cost of production. Make this your coastaut study. A good clover field, cut onco for a hay crop and again for seed, will give a net rcturu that is not excelled in many staple branches of agriculture. Eastern truckers talk with easy conli deuce about raising 500 bushels of toma toes to the acre, und getting twenty cents a bushel for them at the cauueries. The time to begin tho regular picking of tho feathers of ducks aud geese has arrived. This can be made profitable without interfering with the egg produc tion. The only reason why white oats are better than black for feeding is that the latter have a little thicker hull. This makes a difference of about tivo per cent, in nutritive value. When you harness a team see if the collar is free from dirt and hair, and be sure it tits properly. Always speak to a horse when you approach him, espe cially from behind. Stock-keeping is the beginning aud end of prolit iu diversified farmtug. Tho beginning, for it euriches the soil. The end, for it affords a profitable means for disposing of many crops. If a dairyman depends upon buying of much feed he must have a most excellent head to enable him to turn it into a profit. The farm should supply most of what the cattle consume. For the cure of chicken cholera the fowls should have mixed with their food once a day a solution of carbolic acid and water. One dram of acid should be used to two gallons of water. Beginners in the poultry business will often do better with ducks than with hens, as they are better adapted to be ing kept in large numbers, aul do not sucuinb so quickly to disease. It is well to have plenty of drinking water near at hand for ducks. Iu eating they are frequently choked, and the man ner iu which they swallow the water dis lodges the matter iu their throat. If, when afield with a machine, you take tools out of the tool box, always leave what you do not want in the box. Don't place them on tho ground where you are liable to forget aud lose them. In potato growing, don't imagine that new varieties and high-priced seed can take the place of rich land and careful cultivation. A potato crop will resent such neglect about as quick as anything we grow. A 'is.

RAILWAYS OF THE WORLD. SIXTY-SEVEN TEARS' PROGRESS IXT STEAM TRAVEL. The First Koads— Fast Runs—'Trav eling Palaces of Royal Princes —lnteresting Statistics. THE operation of steam railwaya began in England by the open ing of the Stockton and Dar lington line, September 27, 1825. The world then saw the com mencement of a most gigantic enterprise; one that has extended to every civilized and to almost every uncivilized country on the globe, and which has become the greatest of all enterprises nnd industries, and whose magnitude is greater than any other single interest in the world. This Stockton and Darlington Road was a single track affair, thirty-eight miles in length, and the greatest speed attained was twenty miles an hour. Four years after opening of this road the first line was opened for general traffic in the United States, August 9, 1829, on the Mohawk and Hudson Rail road. The first locomotive used on this line, and consequently the first that ever turned a wheel in tho AVestern Hemi sphere, was the "Stourbridge Lion," im ported from Stourbridge, England,lby the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company in May, 1829. The second railroad in America upon which a locomotive was ever run was the Charleston and Hamburg of South Carolina, which also had the honor of being the first regularly operated pas senger road in this couutrry, and the first to adopt the locomotive as a definite motive power. The engine used on this road was the "Best Friend," the first machine of the klud constructed in this country, and was built in West Point Foundry. It made its trial trip in No vember, 1830. At the beginning of tho present year 166,817 miles of railway were in oper ation in the United States. It would be difficult, no doubt, to imagine a perfectly straight line of rail for the entire distance from New York to Boston, but such a riilwuy with such a straight stretch does, however, actually exist in the New Argentine Pacific Rail way from Buenos Ayres to the foot of the Andes. Foradistance of 211 miles tho lino is laid without a curve. Tho level nature of the country will be evi dent from the fact that there is neither a cutting nor an embankment deeper o( higher than three feet. This is thu longest straight stretch of railway in thu world. Another wonderful piece of railway in South America is on the Calao, Lima and Croya line, running from Arequipa, Peru, to La Paz, Bolivia. This is a rail way in the clouds, for it reaches a point 14,666 feet, or nearly three miles above the level of the sea. The whistle of a locomotive is heard at no higher point on the globe. Near the highest elevation of this railway a tunnel 3848 feet long is being bored through the peak of the mountain, 600 feet above the perpetual snow line. The railways of the Andes exhibit some of the mast remarkable re sults of engineering skill which the world contains. The new railway—tho Brienzcr Roth hornbahn—which was begun October 1, 1890, and has just been completed ami opened, is the highest railway in the Alps, and also iu all Europe. It is 7886 feet high at the summit level, where it commands magnificent views. The highest point of railway in the United States is on tho Denver and Hio Grande Railway. At Marshall Pass this road attaius an elevation of 10,850 feet. Tho longest railway system in the world operated by one single company is that of the Atchison, Topeka and Santo Fe Railway, which covers 7110 miles. The longest journey taken by any European train is from Paris to Con stantinople, 1857 miles. The two countries having the smallest number of miles of railway are Persia unci Porto Itico—each have but eighteen miles. Iu the former country there are only two locomotives and four cars. The smallest railway iu the world is that from Ravenglati to Boot, in Cum berland, England. The gunge is three feet, aud the eugines and carriages are miniatures. The stations resemble double bathing houses more than anything else. The entire stall of employes is composed of au engineer and stoker combined, guard, ticket collector, ticket distribu tor and two porters. The shortest steam railway in tho world is at Butfalo, N. V., an 1 is known as the island liiilroad, aud is but one eighth of a mile iu length. Owners of private cars seem to vie with each other iu the maguiliceuce of their coaches. The imperial train which has just been completed for the German Em peror consist* of eleven carriages, ami has occupied three years iu construction aud cost nearly $985,000. There is nothing like it in the world. Many of the details were planned by the Em peror himself. The carriages include a study huug with red Gobelin tapestry from a saloon up holstered iu white satin, a uursery, a r*< ceptiou room adorued with marble stat usry, au oak dining room aud large separate sleeping room*.

On September 14,1891, the New York Central Company ran a train from New York to East Buffalo, 436 J miles in 425} minutes, or within a fraction of 61 miles an hour. The two cities having the largest num ber of trains in and out of their stations daily are London and Manchester. No fewer than 2210 trains ordinarily arrive at and depart from the formor city every twenty-four hours, and nearly as many at the latter. The railways of the United States get llmost 122,000,000 a year for carrying the mails, while the amount paid by the British Government for the same service in England is $3,750,000. In the United States during 1891 no fewer than 620,082,082 passengers were carried on the railways, and 701,344,437 tons of freight were also moved on the lame lines. To do this vast amount of business required 32,241 locomotives, 22,958 passenger cars, 7253 baggage aucl mail cars and 1,061,970 freightcars. If these locomotives were coupled to gether they would make a train 300 miles long, and the passenger cars would make 300 miles mortf and could carry 1,500,000 people at one time. With the addition of alt the freight cars the train would be more than 7000 miles long. The number of men employed in the railway industry in this country is 714,- 750, by which it would appear that over 3,000,000 persons, or nearly one-twen tieth of the entire population, are de pendent upon the railway operations Tor a livelihood. The New York Elevate! carries every year a larger number of pass outers than any other railway in the world. The London Underground comes next—the former, in 1891, carrying an average of 512,000, and thi> latter 405,500 per day. The largest railway station in the world is St. Pancras of the Midland Railway in London. Very few persons have any idea of the weight of locomotives and passenger cars. The engines that haul the famous Pennsylvania "limited'' weigh 92,000 pounds, while the tender,loaded, weighs 50,000 pounds more, making the outfit at the head of the tiain weigli more than 142,000 pounds. Other heavier engines on the Pennsylvania weigh 1">0,000 pounds, and the giants 170,000. An ordinary passenger coach weighs about 50,000 pouuds, while the Pullman sleepers are of nearly 75,000 pounds weight. The parlor cars weigh from 65,000 to 79,000 pounds each. An or dinary passenger train of, say, six cars and the engine weig.is in the aggregate nearly 500,000 pounds. The "limitesjs" weigh nearly 750,000 pounds. The total railway mileage of the entire world is 369,377 miles, divided up as follows: Europe, 136,562 miles; Asia, 19,235 miles; America, 107,11-4 miles; Africa, 5354 miles, and Australasia, 11,112 miles.—New York Advertiser. WISE WORDS. Lovo is loaded. Love is twin to sorrow. Hate is love gone mad. Love cannot be hidden. It is an art to lie successfully. Hunger makes honey of molasses. Three meals a day is good for love. To some hope is but a century plant. Flattery is not always without profit. Justice without charity is a monster. Even the meanest lie has some believ ers. Each one has his own definition for love. The happiest men am not the most useful. Continued bachelors are continued cowards. Sentiment is only a feather in the hat of action. Compliments usually go out searching for mates. Men are fools because wotneu are, and vice versa. A million intentions arc less than half a deed done. A woman dreads ridicule as a slave dreads the lash. Accomplished purposes make the ashes of the world. We may trust those wo love, while we may not love those wo trust. Detroit Free Press. (Jot A Ilea I of the Nobleman.
