Lucky is tho farmer who in thisyear of droughts has planted some sorghum as a fodder crop. It is much botter to resist protracted drought on ac count of roots striking deeply into the soil, while corn is shallow rooted, and suffers whenever dry weather comes. At tho West, whero droughts aro much more severo than here, sor ghum is commonly planted for feed ing. Its early growth is slow, but so soon as its roots strike down tho stalks shoot upward, and two months after planting the sorghum will bo larger and yield more tons per acre than will any kind of corn.—Boston Cultivator. IIOG CHOLERA. Feeding hogs green cornfoddcr will not produce cholera, as an inquirer in timates, says Professor J. H. Shep pord of tho North Dakota Agricultural Collogo. That disoaso is caused by spocifio germs or micro-organisms which aro in this caso small plants. Thero are a great many kinds of dis ease germs, as well as germs that aro benoticial in many ways. Most per sons not acquainted with hog cholera call almost ahy swine diseaso by that narno, and I feel sure that hops are in many cases thought to havo cholera when in reality they do not. I havo known of no serious results from judiciously foeding green corn fodder. Many tons are annuully made uso of in this manner. It is a succulent food, and a sudden change to an exclusivo diet after feeding dry food might cause serious scouring of pigs. Tho change should bo gradual. lu caseu of re ported deaths from using this feed I would be inclined to think that a do raugement of tho digestivo system was tho cause and not cholera. It would not be advisable to confino pigs to this diet exclusively, but given with a small quantity of dry corn or with bran and shorts I would not expect serious trouble. BAD TEMPER IN TITS DAIRY. Has any ono ever figured up the cost of bad temper in tlio dairy? If allowed a rough guess at it, I would say that bad temper was tho causo of more loss in tho dairy than all other sources of loss put together. A man may havo lino cows, u good stable, tho best dairy implements and a good ninrket, yat he is losing money all the timo simply because he loses his tom por when a cow gets contrary or acts in some way to irritate him. " Ho then begins to swear and yell and act like a general idiot. Now, a cow is a good deal like a woman in one respect. You yell at her nnd she instantly losos her head. Her judgment is all gone and lier nerves aro on top. Now look out for a squall. Nature never meant that man should abuse the softer sex, oither woman or cow, without being made to pay for it. Just how the woman gets tlio better of a man when ho acts the fool we all know. All men do not know, though, just how the cow gets in her lino work under the same circumstances. Slio takes her revenge in a nogativo shape by not giviug as much milk as sho would have given had sho been better troated. Not scoing hi; loss, the man does not appreciato how heavy it is until ho comes to sum it up at tho end of the season when ho good naturodly to himself attributes his losses all to bad luck when it should be to fool temper.—Homo and Farm. SMALL FLOCKS OF POULTRY. Farmers often keep too many liens in ono place. Fifty is all that should bo kept in ono llock as tho food will costless, and more eggs will bo laid in winter than if 100 are kept. The right way to do, whero luoro than fifty fowk are to bo kept, is to have another in some out-of-the-way place. If tho housesaro two or threo hundred yards apart, fences will not be re quired. Tho houses need not be expensive, and most farmers havo old lumber lying around, or an old shod that ought to be tern down, and all this can bo worked into the poultry houses. The houses should, at loast, be twenty-fivo by fifteen feet for fifty fowls. Havo the roof firm and tight, and then lino tho house inside with good, stout building paper. Little cracks in tho sides of a house or damp ness is the causo of sick fowls during tho winter season. The front and south side of tho houso should be seven or eight feet high and have two ordinary sized house windows therein, while the back or north side should be four or five feet high. Tho roasou why tho house should be largo, light and dry, is becauso during the cold or stormy days of winter thefowlsshould be confined therein; and if plenty of litter is kept on the floor, and small grains aro buried under this, tho fowls will bo kept busy and happy all day. This means plenty of eggs, and plenty of eggs in winter means plenty o? monoy just -■when money is most needed. Do not be afraid of shutting tho houso up as tight as possible at night, but during tho day, when the hens are confined, open the windows and givo plenty of air, using wire net ting to keep tho fowls from flying out. It Hust bo remombered that hens are dressed just as heavily in tho daytime as at night, and if kept too warm dur ing tho day they will feel tho cold of night more, an 1 sickness will bo the result. The droppings should be kept by thomselves aud not. bo aliowed to bo scratched al) over tho floor, and the roosts should be a-'l on a level and not more than eightocn inch.es or two feet up frqni the floor. Tho roosts vhould bo three or four inches wide, a two by fivo-iucli joist making an ex oellcnt roost.—Americen Agricultur ist. POTATOES FOB COWS. The Veterinary School of Lyons, France, has been making sonioexperi ment!! in the uso of potatoes for feed ing dairy cows. Tho results oro sum marized as follows: Dairy cows, when deprived of all other nourishment than potatoes (which should be given raw and cut) will causume per day an average of soven per cent, of their live weight. Under tho influence of this exclusive regimen there was an increase in tho quantity of milk and a notablo loss in live weight; this result was very dear and remarkable. Cooked potatoes wero more readily taken by tho cat tle, but when they wero given alone, and every other form of nourishment was excluded, rumination was affected or stopped, and digestion was hin dered. The uso of cooked potatoes could not, therefore, be persisted in. Whether they aro raw or cooked, potatoes should bo mixod with somo other food to constituto a convenient ration, both from tho double point of viow of milk production and for fat tening purposes. This mixture of ra tions is also favorable to tho mechan ical and chemical acts of digestion. From observations on a lot of dairy cows fed with a ration of which pota toes formed the half of the total dry matter, and on another lot where thoy only formed twenty-two per cent., it was fully recognized that tho first or larger quantity was clearly preferable to tho second or smaller. From othor experiments it appeared that raw po tatoes favored tho production of milk, while an equal quantity which had been cooked fattened and increased the weight of tho animals. Under tho influenco of a ration of which cooked potatoes foruiod tho basis, tho amount of sugar in the milk was found to rise, but tho increase did not continuo when tho ration was changed. An analysis was made weekly during nearly four months of (1) the milk of eight cows whose ration containod about, forty-four pounds of potatoes and (2) of another lot to which twenty two pounds had been given. In tho first case there was a decrease of den sity of the projiortion of dry extract and caseiue, and in the second an in crease of butter nnd mineral matters. Tho practical use of theso experiments on tho introduction of the potato into tho ration of dairy cattle will bo regu lated by the fact of tho milk being sold off the farm or usod for butter or cheese making. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Are you mowing around the same bushes that you were twenty years ago? Remember shade trees in too groat profusion injuro tho quality of tho grass. Aro you plowing about tho sarno littlo swale that you wore twenty yoars ago? Do not mako the horse carry a heavy halter in addition to the bridlo when at work on a hot day. Time put into farm improvements is a better patrimony than money in tho bank for your children. That pasture needs drainago for oither sheep or for cows if health and bes.t results are to be expected. Aro you not wasting timo that, if applied, would in a few yoars fit your farm for all modern machinery? Tho demand for good riding horsos will increase in proportion to tho im provement in tho horses produced. Tho friends of tho busy boo main tain that it would pay to keep a few colonies to pollenizo tho blossoms of fruit trees. Aro you plowing around that same rock, that an hour's timo would re move, that you havo plowed around for twenty years? Tho most vigorous and healthy foli age of the strawberry plant is not an indication of tho best fruiting plants, according to Professor Lazonby. Cross, unrestrained dogs in the country prevent tho froo movement of tho country boys and girls; let those bo first and dogs last in full liberty. Tho wealthy people of our groat cities aro getting to appreciato tho pleasures of a horseback lido. They aro tho ones who pay goo.l pricos for horses when thoy find what they want. A practical dairyman suggests that two or three doses of saltpetre, one tabiespoonful for a dose, is a romody for ropy milk. Ropy milk, however, seldom results uulessthe cow is milked too soon aftor calving; it disappears later on. Sometimes egga aro laid at night whilo tho hens are on tho roost. The cause is a weakened state of tho egg producing organs; tho result of over feeding and lack of exercise. Hens which aro unable to hold their eggs aro usually too fat. A practical berry grower says that a quarter acre garden, well arranged, sot to best varieties and properly cared for, should yield at least twenty-live bushols of berries. In no othor way oil) a farmer produce so much of valm with so little labor as in a garden of small fruits. A writer says that many fail to un derstand whilo yet it is tho fact, that when cows aro on good pasturage is whon thoy need salt the most. The better plan is to keep tho supply in a convenient placo whero they can help thomsclves. One advantage with rock salt is that it doeg, not waste to any great extent if left exposed. Tho owner of a small farm -who keeps only one or ..two cows is more interested, or should be, in having choico animals than those who own large flocks. Ono goo<l cow will serve the purpose of two inferior ones, and where spaco is limitod every additional quart of milk or pound of butter it quito an item with tho keeping of e single animal.

In all tempcrato climates the apple grows freely, and might be obtained in praotically unlimited quantities. That it is not more used than it is is probably due to the fact that, being so plenty, it is undervalued. Yet al most every one likes the fruit in some fashion, and it should form a part of at least two meals out of every three during the yeor round; for evon when the fresh fruit is not in season, canned, dried or "ovaporated" apples may al ways be had. "Chemically," says a writer in the North American Practitioner, "tho apple is composed of vegetable fibre, albumen, sugar, gum, chlorophyl, malic acid, gallic acid, lime and water. Furthermore, tho German analysts say that the applo contains a larger per centage of phosphorus than any other fruit or vegetable. The phosphorus is admirably adapted for renewing tho essential nervous mattor —lecithin — of the brain and spinal cord. It is perhaps for this reason—though but rudely understood—that the old Scan dinavian traditions represent tho applo as the food of the gods who, when thoy felt themselves to be growing fooblo and infirm, resorted to this fruit to ronew their powers of mind and body." Not only tho phosphorus, but tho acids of the npple are of singular use for persons of sodentary habits, whoso livers aro apt to bo too slow of action. Those acids aid tho liver in its work of eliminating from tho body tho noxious matters which, if retained, would make tho brain heavy and dull, or, in time, would cause rheumatism, jaundice, or 6lun eruptions, and other allied troublos. Tho malic aoid of applos, either raw or cooked, will noutralizo any excess of chalky mattor engendered by eating too much meat. Ripe apples are probably tho least fermentable of all fruits, exoept, pos sibly, tho banana. For this reason ripe and sound apples may bo eaten by most persons in even the hottest weather; but even tho apple is safest when cooked. Wo have tho support of eminent medical authority in saying that tho most healthful way to cook apples if to paro and core them, and bake in 0 moderate oven. If the applo is of 0 quite sour variety it may bo necessary to add a littlo sugnr, putting about a saltspoonful in tho hollow whence the core was extracted. The next best woy to cook them is stewing. Contrary tc common belief, apples baked in theii skins aro tho least healthful of cookeo apples.—Harper's Bazar. RECirESt. A Cream of Chocolato—Take a pint of milk and three ounces of chocolate.

The manufacturer of artificial pran he is now carried on at a California I establishment by what is a snorted to be n simple and effective method, and with satisfactory results. It consists of first tamping a layer of the body forming material in a mold, one inner vertical wall of which is formed by a vertically movable slide; after this the process is continued by removing the slide and tamping a layer of the facing material in tho spaco made by the lower end of tho slide, then re placing tho latter with its lower end resting on tho tamped facing layer, tamping now tho second body-form ing layer, and again removing the slide and tumping the second facing layer. The formation of the body and facing material is continued in this manner by successive steps, until tho face block of tho desired thickness is an accomplished fact. In this way there is produced a material of cheap substances and a facing of better quality, showing any kind of finish desired, the two being united whilo in a plastic condition into a homogeneous mass.—New York Tele gram.

Once used, they are al ways in favor, bowels open'' and is the case with other pills. Hence, their great popularity with sufferers from habitual constipation, piles and their attendant discomfort ,atid manifold derangements. The ''Pellets" are purely vegetable and perfectly harmless in any condition of the system. No care is required while using them; they do not interfere with the diet, habits or occupa tion, and produce no pain, griping or shock to tlie system. They act in a mild, easy and natural way and there is 110 reaction after ward. Their help lasts. Tlie Pellets cure biliousness, sick and biliou headache, dizeiness, costiveuess, or const, 'ation, sour stomach, loss of appetite, coatec tongue, indigestion, or dyspepsia, windy belcliings, "heartburn," pain and distress after eating, and kindred derange ments of the liver, stomach and bowels. 111 proof of their superior excellence, it can be truthfully said, that they are always adopted as a household remedy after the fiist trial. Put up iu sealed, glass vials, therefore always fresh and reliable. One little "Pellet" is a laxative, two are mildy cathartic. As a "dinner pill," to promote digestion, or to relieve distress from over eating, take one after dinner. They are tiny, sugar-coated granules; any child will readily take them. Accept no substitute that may be recom mended to be "just as good." It may be better for the dealer, because of paying him a better profit, but he is not the one who needs help.

The populor impression is that tho moon is a burnt-out world—a sort of cinder planet glistening in tho heav ens—but astronomers ore by no means persuaded that such is the case, and some among them are hopeful that tho question as to whtther it is or is not inhabited will shortly bo deter mined. This hopo is based upon the fact that tho groat fifty-inch telescopo which is being constructed in tho Brashear cstablisment in Pittsburg, under tho superintendence of Profes sor Keller, of Allegheny Observatory, will shortly be ready for use. Tho tubo of this giant instrument will be fully seventy feet in length, and for its operation will require a dome moro than sixty feet in diameter. Professor Keller has declared that ho seos "no reason why the question as to tho habitation of the moon should not bo finally settled when this wonderful instrument is erected." Professor Plympton, of Coopor Insti tute, is equally sanguine that tho de cisive results so long looked for are destined to bo shortly realized. Such hopes will doubtless seem extravagant to many ; but when it is remembered that tho Lick telescope, which has done so much for science, is but thirty inches in diemoter, and that the new glass will be twenty inches larger, it is easy to Bee that tho great expecta tions of the astronomers are not with out a reasonable basis.
