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. If you kuow anything

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 <lay spent in planting or plowing is
expected to eventually pay some return
for the labor. Hut a day spent in fence
building pays nothing, and we know
| that by and by the same work must bo
done over again,
j The first thing to ascertain, in order
! to make lar ning profitable, is the cheap
est source of fertility. This will be
j lound, with fe.v exceptions, in growing
clover and feeding it with grain, bran or
I oil meal to good live stock,
j The cattle aud other livestock feol tho
! benellts during the winter weather of a
shelter belt of evergreen trees around the
farmyard. Norway spruce will form a
good screen in a few years. Take young
' trees aud plant them about eight feet
| apart.
Oats should be substituted as much as
possible for euro during the summer,
I'tie corn should, however, be given as
the eveuiug ration. Corn, as is well
known, is a heat-producing food, and
for this reason its u*u in the warm sum
mer weal her should be limited.
iKiuot neglect to build a silo for the
poultry. Tim yreijit food giveu tliern

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*.
Ijueeu Victoria's traveling cariiage is

the New York Central Company ran a

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.

He First Flew the Stars and Stripes.
The flags ufed by the Colonial troops
during the first two years of the Revolu
tionary War were of various designs.
The New York forces used the orange,
white and blue of their Dutch ancestors;
the Connecticut regiments the three
gvpevincs; some of the other New Eng
land troops the rattlesnake flag, and yet
others, the pine tree flag, a modification
of whick had been u«ed at Bunker llill.
The first flag used in naval warfare bore
a black rattlesnake on a yellow ground,
and was thrown to the breeze by Commo
dore Hopkins early In 1776. On June
14, 1777, a committee, of which John
Adams was the best known member, sub
mitted to the Congress of the country a
report for a National flag, which was
unanimously accepted without discussion,
and our present flag was then adopted,
with the exception, of course, of the
number of stars. On September 3d of
the same year formal announcement of
its adoption was made to the country.
The first public display of this flag was
made by John Paul Jones, who ran it up
to the masthead of the Ranger at Ports
mouth just before putting to sea.—Pub

Admirable results have attended the

The shadows
that fill yonr if you're a feeble,
suffering woman, can be taken out
of it. The chronic weaknesses,
functional derangements, and pain
ful disorders peculiar to your sex,
can be taken away. flio ono
unfailing remedy for them is Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
It corrects, cures, ami builds you
up. It improves digestion, enriches
the blood, dispels aches and pains,
melancholy and nervousness, brings
refreshing sleep and restores health
and strength. For periodical paiys,
internal inflammation and ulcera
tion, weak back, leucorrhea, and all
kindred ailments, it's a positive spe
cific— one that is guaranteed. If
it fails to give satisfaction, in any
case, the money paid for it is re
turned.
The great, griping, old-fashioned
pills make trouble. Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets prevent it. Their's
is the natural way. Sick Headache,
l>iliousness, Constipation, Indiges
tion, and all derangements of tho
Liver, Stomach and Bowels are pre
vented, relieved and cured. Small--
est, cheapest, easiest to take.
"August
Flower"
" I am Post Master here and keep
a Store. I have kept August Flower
for sale for some time. I think it is
a splendid medicine." E. A. Bond,
P. M., Pavilion Centre, N. Y.
The stomach is the reservoir.
If it fails, everything fails. The
liver, the kidneys, the lungs, the
heart, the head, the blood, the nerves
all go wrong. If you feel wrong,
look to the stomach first. Put that
right at ouce by using August
Flower. It assures a good appetite
and a good digestion. ®
