Klllir THE TiIVE STOCK IN OOOD ('ONDrTION,
Animals should not bo allowed to
fall back in flesh or production. It
costs considerably moro to replace a
pound of flesh or a certain amount of
strength, than to retain it. While
the animal is losing tho pound of flesh
and also wliilo it is regaining it, tho
food of support and all the care and
sheltering given tho animal arc lost;
for when the animal has regained flesh
or strength it is just as valuable, and
no more, than before. Also, tho food
of support is very nearly as great
when the animal's production of milk,
tor example, is reduced one-half.
While the total food consumed is re
duced only one-fourth, what is re
ceived in payment for that food is re
duced one-half; nnd tho cost of cariug
for and sheltering the animal is the
same. It is plnin that this reduction
may wipe out all the profit nnd more.
A little carelessness and inattention
in autumn may sacrilico all tho gain
from tho summer's fcoding and care.

TRANSPLANTING TfRMTS.
Rutabaga turnips aro excellent to
follow a crop of early peas, says tho
Massachusetts Ploughman. Wo have
had tho best success by transplanting
tho turnips. After the peas have all
been picked, tho land is plowed and
a cultivator is run over the piece to
lovel the surface and to scrape off part
of tho weeds and rubbish. Tho land
is then drilled eighteou inches apart,
with a moderate application of phos
phate in tho drill. The young plants
are set four inches apart in tho row.
Tho work of transplanting may be
done very rapidly by a skillod work
man. Care is taken to bear heavily
on tho soil about each plant after
pricking out. Tho after work is not
very great by this method, tho ground
being kept loose with a wheel hoo.
For a large field, or where a wheel
hoe is not to bo had, wider rows and a
line-tooth cultivator would bo pre
ferred. Tho transplanting method in
sures a regular stand of turnips and
quick growth to a good sizo.
WHY Illfl TORK IS BEST.
Roust pig is geuerullv from young
animals that lutvo barely passed the
suckling age. It has a sweetness and
tenderness that tho animal never can
furnish when killed at any later pe
riod of its life. But an immense deal
depends on tho way tho hog is fed.
Contrary to tho general impression,
the pig's digestion is not naturally
strong. It is almost always, whdo be
ing fattened, fed with too concen
trated nutrition. This creates fever,
and digestion becomes weaker, rather
than stronger. The meat from
an animal that has been thus stunted
in growth is always inferior to that of
one that lins had a thrifty growth from
the first. AVe have known pork from
well-fed, thrifty old hogs to bo more
tender and of better flavor than that
from young pigs that have been
stunted in tlieir growth. Tho great
practical point is to keep pigs always
thriftily growing until their fattening
is completed. We can thus have
sweet, well-flavored pork, ami yet
have it thick enough to not fry away
to strips when cooked. It is com
monly objected to pig pork that it
cooks away too much. There is rea
son in this objection. But thero is
110 reason why, if properly fed, a hog
250 to 300 pounds may not be as
sweet and well-flavored as one that is
smaller. Its fat may not bo quite so
solid, for this solidity is sometimes
due to tho fever from over feeding,
which makes the meat unhealthful.
Boston Cultivator.
WHEAT AS A FEEDING OKAIS.
The reason why wheat ha 3 not here
tofore been the leading feeding grain
has been its high market value and the
oheapness of corn and oats. But now
that it is the cheapest of all grains, in
quiries are making into its value both
as to its price and the nutriment and
digestibility. It is true that all these
three points are to be taken into ac
count in estimating the feeding value
of uny food. Good feeding must neces
sarily be that which is conductive to
health, for there can be no thrift
otherwise. Hitherto no experiments
have be(n made in feeding wheat ex
cept to a small extent with damaged
grain. Lately, however, attention has
been turned to this matter, find as
might be expected from our scientific
knowledgo of wheat, it lias been
shown, without exception, that it is
now the cheapest grain food on the
whole list.
Jn feeding poultry, it is especially
profitable, and the experience of care
ful and intelligent persons goes to
6how that a barrel of wheat, worth
about $2.30, will make a barrel of
eggs, wortb, at fifteen cents a dozen,
not less than SO. This ought to be
very satisfactory, seeing that corn is
not a healthful food when given to
fowls altogether and without a largo
addition of other foods. Tho result
of feeding wheat to pigs has been pre
cisely similar, and with respect to both
profit and health. There have been
many instances that have proved this
grain to be excellent for cows, for tho
bran and middlings havo always boen
one of the most favored grain foods in
the dairy. It has boon found excel
lent for sheep, and, as highly-nitro
genous food is reasonably propor for
a wool bearers, considering tho large
quantity of nitrogen in the fleece, this
result should reasonably follow. For
horses its equal value may bo consid
ered as doubtful, except as an addi
tion to cut fodder when the grain is
coarsely chopped. But as barley dif
fers but little from wheat, practically,
as a food grain, and as barley is well
known to be one of the best foods for
this animal, it may be taken as almost
certaiu that, when fed judiciously,
wheat will be at least better than corn.
The writer of this noto has been feed
ing rye to hiR horses and mules sinoo
harvest, and with every possible sat
isfaction to himself as well as to the
animals. Thus, if the present low
price of wheat continues, tho surplus
may be fed, instead of being sacrificed
in the lowest markets onreoord.—The
York Times.
WORK BEFORE MARKETING POULTRY.
Ten day6 or two weeks before mar
keting fowls confine them in small yards
where they will be quiet, contented
and oat of sight of other poultry.
Seeing other fowls at large will make
them fret and lose flesh instead of
gaining. Keep the yards scrupulous
ly clean. Feed three times a day all
that will be eaten at each meal. Give
the first meal early and tho last one
late in the day. Provide plenty of
sharp grit and fresh water. Corn is
best for finishing off poultry as it
givos a firmer flesh and yellower color
than buckwheat or other grains. Pul
lets can be fattened best just before
commencing to lay and cockerels when
the tails begin to turn. It is a mis
take to keep males until fully ma
tured. As soon as fit for broilers they
should be marketed. Cozkerels always
meet a ready sale and command high
prices.
There is much to be learned about
dressing poultry. It is useless to sond
fowls to market unless fat and neatly
dressed. Attraotivencss is an import
ant feature in selling and great loss
frequently occurs from lack of it. In
selling to looal! dealers use the same
care in dressing that would be taken
if shipping to a distant commission
merchant. Fowls look best when dry
picked, especially if fat andplump. If
they are not in fine condition it is best
to scald them before picking. When
dry-picked the natural firmness of tho
flesh remains, and poultry for Chicago
markets should be so prepared if pos
sible. Let the fowls go without food
for twelve to twenty-four hours bofore
killing so that nothing will remain
in the crop to sour. Kill by sever
ing tho veins of tho neck or in
side tho mouth. This can be quick
ly and painlessly done with a sharp
knife. Hang tho fowls by tho feet to
bleed and pick while tho bodies are
warm, using great care not to tear tho
skin. Leavo tho head and feet on and
do not removo the crop or intestines.
Wash iu cold water, wipe dry and
hang up by the feet in a cool place.
For scalding, heat tho water nbout to
tho boiling point. Holding tho fowl
by the head and feet, dip tho body
into tho water three or four times. If
tho head touches tho water it will
give the eyes a shrunken appearance.
Buyers aro naturally suspicious, and
if the eyes are shrunken they think
the fowl has been sick. When tho
feathers and pin feathers have been
removed, immerso the fowl in scald
ing water for four or five soconds and
then dip immediately into ice cold
water to give it a plump appearance.
If tho head is cut off, turn the skin
back a trifle, cut off the bone, and
drawing the skin forward tie it neatly.
Ducks and geese should go through
the same process of dressing as chick
ens. For these fowls it requires more
time for tho scalding water to pene
trate and loosen tho feathers. After
scalding wrap them in a thick cloth for
two minutes aud tho feathers and down
will come off easily. Titrkoys should
always be dry picked. Before packing
for shipping bo suro tho moat is dry
and cold. Pack snugly in clean boxes or
barrels after placing a layer of clean hay
or straw in the bottom. Boxes or bar
rels holding 100 to 150 pounds are
conveniently handled.—American Ag
riculturist.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Plow your gurden in the fall.
Less food is required in sun-lighted
stables.
One specked applo is sure to infect
its neighbors.
Jerking the horse will ruin tho
finest mouth.
After a hard drivo tho horso should
bo allowed to rest beforo feeding.
It is economy to feed a little less
hay and some grain to all tho horses.
Light, pure air and cleanliness are
as necessary in tho stable as in the
house.
Teach the colt to stand until you are
in tho wagon and not to start until you
give the word.
Swine fever is unknown in Frauoe.
Its absence is attributed to the use of
green fodder.
Tho ammonia from the manure in
tho stable is very injurious to the
eyes and lungs of the horses.
The power and longovity of the
liorse are in exnet ratio to tho intelli
gent oare and feeding he receives.
Whey mixed with whole-ground
wheat makes an excellent feed for
hogs, either for growth or fattening.
A longer time is required to prepare
leaf mold or rotted leaves. The leaves
must be raked up when they fall in
October.
It is said that 100 pounds of hay
will mako 172 pounds of manure;
oats, 201 pounds, while grass will
mako but forty-three pounds.
In training a colt the safest rule is
to teach him one thing at a time, aud
bo sure that it is learned thoroughly
before attempting something else.
A potting soil suitable for most
plants is made of four materials—
old sods, well-decayed cow manure,
rotted leaves or leaf mould, and sand.
Some farmers pit their apples as
they do potatoes and roots. Care must
bo takon to prevent tho so'.l washing
through and affcoting tho flavor of the
fruit.
In the fall is a good time to set out
both rhubarb and asparagus plants,
and there ought to be a good bed of
both on every farm and in every gar
den, and well established and given
good treatment they will last for
years.
Tho amount of winter wheat being
fod is very much larger than is gen
erally supposed. If only one-half the
amount is being fed that is reported,
there will be no trouble at all to use
all the surplus wheat of 1894. Every
body is satisflid with its use.
HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
LACE KMOniKPH IN THE WASH.
By putting laco handkerchiefs in
warm water in which are a few drops
of ammonia, and using oastile soap,
thoy are easily washed and made a
boautiful, clear white. Then do not
iron, but spread the handkerchief out
smoothly on marble or glass, gently
pulling out or shaping tho lace. Just
before it is entirely dry fold evenly
and smoothly and place under a heasy
weight of some kind and you will find
handkerchiefs lasting thrioe as long as
before.—New York Journal.
niNTS ABOUT UENDIN'O.
Nothing keeps flannels and stock
ings and other underwear looking so
well as darning and mending and re
pairing material that matches per
fectly. A hole seems almost prefer
able to a gray stocking darned with
blue, or black undershirt bound with
rod, or a brown patch where there
should bo a black one. Buttons, all
kinds of mending threads, in cotton,
linen, silk, and wool, bindings in taf
feta ribbons by tho roll, and white
cotton tape of all widths, and even
webbing by the yard aro to be bought
at most reasonable pricos for making
old things as good as new, and for
keeping the Lew in perfect condition.
It also seems to be an economy in the
same direction to buy tho same makes
and colors in flannels and hose from
season to season, so that one may
have material to reinforce weak places
without buying it.—New York Post.

than loose, untidy slippers that are

To remember that the usual
methods for removing paint spots
from clothing will not be satisfactory
if tho paint has becomo hard and dry.
In this case use equal parts of
ammonia aud turpentine, satnrato tho
spot as often as nocessary and wash
out in soapsuds.
To cut doughnuts out an hour or
more before thoy aro fried and allow
them timo for rising. They will bo
much lighter thau when fried as soon
as they are cut. Try cutting them at
night and frying them in tho morn
ing.
To prevent hair from bocoming
prematurely gray by takingone ounoo
of glycerine, ono ounce of bay rum
and ono piut of strong sago tea; mix
thoroughly and add a few drops of tho
ail of bergamot.
To clean carpet by wiping it off
with a sponge wet in water, to which
a tablespoonful of turpentino has boen
added. This should be dono about
once a month, ufter tliß carpet has
been thoroughly swept; and it will
keep it wonderfully bright and fresh
looking.
To use melted alum for a handy
comcnt. It may bo quickly prepared,
and may bo used for mending any
thing which will not como iu contact
with heat and water.
To keep the ironing board ftiiil tablo
firmly and eveuly covered with a thick

body forward, and, the trunk slant
ing forward when tho heel is raised by
tho calf muscles, the whole body will
bo raised und pushed forward and up
ward. This advancement of each leg
is effected partly by muscular action,
the muscles used being (1) thoso on
the front of the thigh, bending 'lt for
ward on the pelvis; (2) tho hamstring
muscles, which slightly bend tho leg
on the thigh ; (3) the muscles on the
front af the leg, which raise tho front
of the foot and toes, preventing the
latter, in swinging forward, from
hitching in tho ground. When one
foot has reached the ground tho ac
tion of tho other li"s not ceased.
There is another point in walking.
The body is constantly supported and
balanced on each leg alternately, and,
therefore, on only one at oncc. Hence
there must bo some means for throw
ing the centro of gravity over the line
of support formed by tho bones of
each leg, as it supports tho weight of
the body. This is done in various
ways, and hcnca tho difference in tho
walk of different people.—New York

A Ticking Tombstone.
There is a tradition that a tomb
stone in the graveyard of an old and
uncompromising little stone church in
Louden, Penn., gives forth a ticking
sound, and it has long bcou locally
farcous as the ticking tombstone. The
noise is not loud enough for tho stono
to be located by a stranger, and if the
ticking is really ever heard, it comes
doubtless from tho trickling of water
through tho limestone formation not
unusual iu the region. Tho old church
dates back to about the middle of the
last century, and is surrounded by
gravestones, some of them consider
ably older.—Detroit Free Press.
of all cases of consumption can, if taken iu
tlie earlier stages of the disease, be cured.
This may seem like a bold assertion to
those familiar only with the means gener
ally in use for its treatment; as, nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emulsions, extract
of malt, whiskey, different preparations of
hypophosphites and such lilce palliatives.
Although by many believed to be incura
ble, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, in all its
earlier stages, consumption is a curable
disease. Not every case, but a large per.
centagc of cases , and we believe, fully 98
per cent, are cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ
ing tubercular matter), great loss of flesh
and extreme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by " Golden Med
ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease ? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis
representing them, and who_ were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of "Golden Medical Discovery,"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene
fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos
phites had also been faithfully tried In vain.
The photographs of a large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 160
pages which will be mailed to you, on re
ceipt of address and six cents in stampr.
You can then write those cured and learn
their experience.
