AN EXPERIMENT WITH A FAIR OP GEESE. 1 1 let them run separately, writes William Rankin of Massachusetts, and fed liberally to see the best I could do. Tho goose laid fifty-one eggs; I only succeeded in getting thirty-sevon goslings, and a horse got loose and killed ono and anothor died, leaving me thirty-five for market. I sold them for $81.57. So that goose gavo more profit than a cow and two hogs. Yet I did not feel satisfied with my hatch, which was under tho averago, and one of my noighbors beat me.—American Agriculturist. GROOMING FOR THE COWS. Horses have much moro often been made pets than cows have been. So far as grooming goes tho average cow gets very little of it except what she can do herself by rubbing her shoul ders and neck against the sides of tho stable in which she is confined. Try a curry comb and brush on the cow as well as on tho horse. Unless the cow is very thin the curry comb will be liked even better than tlio brush. Tho dirt in a cow's hair is always liable to get into tho milk p ail, as it is brushed out when the milker rubs against the animal in gotting out of the narrow stall.—Boston Cultivator. PROTECTION FOR SMALL ANIMALS. If largo and small cattle or hogs aro fed and housed together the smaller animals will hardly thrive. They will be whipped away from tho trough and get less than their share of tho food; and they will be driven around or from the shelter, and tho large ani mals will scarcely profit from the mis fortunes of their smaller fellows, as driving tho others from feed and shelter will "work off a good part of the flesh from tho extra food. Some times the smaller animals aro seriously injured ; and in tho larger animals is developed a quarrclsomo disposition that is not desirable, to say tho least. Yet other considerations make it a bud plan to oonfino small and large nnimals in the same enclosure. Much better results will be secured by put ting only o few animals in tho same enclosure, and those of the samo size. —New England Homestead. CONSUMPTION OF WnEAT. The use of wheat for stock food complicates the ditficulty of determin ing the consumption of this grain. It is calculated that in the West forty per cent, of tho hogs aro being sup plied this grain and that it is being also fed in large quantities to all other classes of stock. Tiio practice is spreading in tho East in many sec tions, so that it would appear that the farmers have themselves solved the question what to with their surplus wheat. Wheat certainly is superior to corn for growing animals, as it contains about thirty per cent, more protein, or tissue-building matter, than corn. On tho other hand, corn produces fat and is the better food for finishing off animals. Tho two grains aro not really rivals. Tho ono serves as a complement of tho other. Farmers will do well to study the feoding ques tion and learn how wheat can be most profitably converted into uninial pro ducts.—New York World. FEEDING POTATOES TO SHEEP. There is no doubt of tho value of the potato for feeding to sheep, but as this animal has but a weak diges tion, it will be advisable to cook the potatoes for them, and add bran to the food. Tho starch of tho potato is very indigestible when raw, and, as, by cooking, the cells in which the starch is contained aro broken, and the starch granules aro swollen and burst by the expansion caused by the heat, the food thus propured is fully and easily digested. There is moro to ibe learned by experience in thp management of sheep than from ecionoe, for this animal is peculiar and always will be, and thus tin*, results of feeding other animals upon certain foods do not apply to sheep. So that it is wise, when ono has got a good feeding ration for a flock, to avoid changing it, unless by tho most care ful preliminary experiments. But ex perience has shown that potatoes, boiled until they are mealy, in conse quence of tho rupture of the starch, cells, and fed with tho usual ration of bran—a pound for each full grown sheep—with a quart of potatoes not broken up, have been both digestible and nutritious—New York Times. THE OX ALTS. Plants continually in blossom an.l requiring tho least caro givo tho most satisfaction, especially when they bloom during tho dreary months ot winter, says Mrs. C. F. Underwood. The oxalisis tho most useful, all roun i window plant in cultivation, beiug so hardy it requires but a short rest an 1 its bright green clover-liko foliage is seldom injured by sudden changes of temperaturo. If paitially frozon, a dash of cold water will restore its beauty. The mammoth oxalis h<-t showy foliago but not tho hardy qual ities of tho smaller variety and hus less profusion of bloom. The beauti ful, delicate, star-shapod flowers surprise one daily. They delight in sucshino and tnrn towurd it and for this reason are frequently UHOII as a window hanging plant, lt-i drooping stems are graceful on a s:uall stand as a sitting room ornament. The pink blossom is more common, the pure white and yellow being rare. For soil, chip dirt fertilize 1 with com man liquid manure, or rich garden soil, in adaptable, the tubers being planted an inch below the surface, (live fre quent showering*. The common wood sorrel is a similar plant, enily potted and made tu thrive, and hard to dis tinguish from th« cultivated variety. ('Aits or UOKXKH. Keep your harness soft and clean, particularly the inside of the collar and saddle, as the uovsuiratiou. i! si- lowed to dry in, will cause irritation and produce galls. The collar should fit closely, with sufficient space at the bottom to admit your hand; a collar too small) obstructs the breathing, while one too large will cramp and draw the shoulders into an unnatural position, thus obstruct ing the circulation. Never allow your horse to stand on hot, fermenting manure, as this will soften the hoofs and bring on diseases of the feot, nor permit the old litter to lie under the manger, as the gases will taint his food and irritate his lungs as well as his eyes. Do not keoptheiiay over the stable, as the gases from the manure and the breath of tho animal will make it un wholesomo. Kindness will do more than bru tality; therefore do not use harsh h.i uago to your horse, or lash orkiok him. Bear in mind that he is very intelligent and sensitive, a willing ser vant, and deserving of your kindest treatment and thought. Bemcmber that horses are made vioiousby oruol treatment; that it is speed which kills; that more horses are larno from bad shoeing than from all other causes; that a careless appli cation of tho whip has blinded many horsos; that more fall from weariness than from any other cause and that no animal should ever be struok upon tho head.—Now York World. TAKM AND GARDEN" NOTES. Tho Poultry Monthly tells of a man who paid 8325 for one pair of pigeons recently. Warm wator two or three times a day in tho coldest weather helps solve the egg problem. There is hardly a brood of fowls to day that does not have its counterpart in the bantam olass. An old horse dealer says: "If you want to buy a horse, don't believe your own brother." Don't wait until you build the big barn beforo sheltering the cows. Build the shelter for them and they will help you build tli3 barn. Brt HI well, and whenf you have a heifer calf as the result of suoh breed ing feed well and train properly, and you will have a good cow. Don't regard milch cattle solely as machines, but remember that they have some flesh and blood about thom that merits appropriate treatment. There is no better crop for tho win ter feeding of sheep than oats and peas mixed. It is very nutritious, and is eaten with avidity by tho shoep. Feed milk to tho swine warm, and in troughs that are free from ice or filth. Add something to make up the loss of butter fat, such as a little corn or barley meal. Givo carrots, turnips and other juicy root feeds to horsos plentifully in winter. They will vary tho monot ony of equine hard tack and thoy aro excellent for tho digestion. Give the fowls some litter to soratch in. They will amuso themselves if you only give them the necessary play things, and a busy hen generally means a healthy and laying one. A pig is a pig till it is a year old. Then it becomes a hoj. In classifica tion of fairs, however, when a premium is offered for a sow and pigs, it is un derstood that tho pigs aro to be under six months old. Tho exact temperature for loosening the hair from tho skin of a pig at butchering is 180 degrees. The pig should remain a full minute in the water at this temperature to give time for the hair to be loosened. The swiuo will respond in a profit able way just as promptly to good treatment us do the cows to good oare. If, at the same timo, the pigs have dry, warm, healthful quarters, thoy will grow as fast as in summer on clover. Pork represents money, just the same us butter does, and if there is a chance to make it out of the casein of milk, it should surely be done. With thi in view, don't let your skimmed milk ueezo, nor let it sour or ferment in a lilthy tub or barrel. In tho East, at least, the pig pen is a natural concomitant of tho dairy. Through the uttor neglect given to these animals en many farms, pigs cannot bo successfully bied, and every spring they must be purchased of moro painstaking breeders.

This formula for a kerosene emul sion was given by a professor in one of our agricultural colleges some years ago, and I was requested to experiment with it on greenhouse plants. I did so, with highly satisfactory results, writes Eben E. Box ford, in the Ladies' Home Journal. It is made as follows: Two quarts kerosene, one part slight ly sour milk. Churn togot'hor juntil a union of milk and oil reßiilts. When tbey unitoa white, jelly-liko substanoe will bo secured, whioh will mix readily with water. Dilute this jelly with eighteen or twenty times its quantity of water, and shower your plants thor oughly. Soft leaved plants, like be gonias, primroses and gloxinias are frequently injured by it, if applied in the strength advised above; therefore, it is well to dilute the application by using at least thirty parts of water to one of the jelly. * BIOE CROQUETTES. Take half a cup of rice, one pint of milk, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, three eggs, a little grated lemon peel, one tablespooniul of melted butter and a saltspoonful of salt. Soak the rioe three hours in water enough to cover it. Drain almost dry and pour in the milk. Stew in one sauoepan sot in another of hot wator, until the rioe is very tender. Add the sugar, butter and salt and simmer ten minutes. Whisk the eggs to a froth and add oautiously, taking tho sauoepan from the firo while you whip them into the mixture. Beturn to tho stove and stir while thoy thicken, not allowing them to boil. Bemove the saucepan and add the grated lemon peel, then turn upon a well-greased dish to cool. When cold and stiff, flour your hands and roll into pear-shaped balls, dip in beaten egg, then in fine cracker crumbs and fry in lard. Croquettes shoull be made some hours beforo they are fried.—New York World. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. A little salt in the staroh will usual ly prevent its sticking when you go to iron. Always remember that silverware when used to lift or as a receptaole for eggs will turn black, and a most obstinato black to get off, too. Only silver polish will remove it. To glaze pastry, beat the yolk of an egg to a froth, and when the pastry is nearly done, brush with tho yolk and return to the oven to set tho glaze, but be careful not to let it stay too long, as it will brown it unduly. There is really a use for old lemon skins. After squeezing free of juice, they are used to clean old brass and copper. Bub them with soap and then dip in tine ashes or polish. Bub dry with a dry woolen cloth or a piece of chamois. Plaster casts in their natural state are best freed from dust by covering them with a thick layer of starch. When the starch is dry, brush thoroughly with a stiff brush, and it will bo found that the dust has been romoved with the starch. A burning thirst may bo oared by taking a good bath; likewiso it often cures a headache, rests tired feet and sweetens a sour temper. Add to this a change of linen and of dress, and you often find a new creature. There is no civilizer like the bath. Zino bath tubs and all ooppor and tin kitchen utensils can be kept in pristine brightness by occasionally washing them with a hot solution of salt and vinegar. They must bo thor oughly rinsed in clear hot water im mediately after the vinegar applica tion. Tea tablets arc ono of my lady's re cent luxuries.

A recent Washington dispatch says the Consul at Annaberg has rcportod to tho Department of State the result of the investigations conducted by the Society for the Prevention of the Adulteration of Food in Saxony,show ing that of 715 analyses made by the chemist of the assoaiation, 128, or 17.9 per'cent., showed objectionable adulterations. Of nine samples of American dried fruits examined, eight were found objectionable. Tho fruit had a nico white color, but, as they were dried on zinc plates, they con tained tho injurious substances of that metal. Whil»> in former years they were freely admitted to tho market, their pale has been prohibited during tho past year. Oil of citron contained only an in significant per cent, of tho real oil, the balanco being other ingredients and alcohol. Butter, particularly that from Austrian dealers, contained co coanut oil, sesame oil, tallow, etc. Textile fabrics were dyed with pois onous colors and wool stuffs showed cotton admixtures np to eighty-five per cent. Spices with which meats had been prepared contained tannin, and sausages contained living para sites. Fruit juices wero colored with chemicals. A sarnplo of coffee was found to be impregnated with animal refuse. Rye Hour was adulterated with rico flour, aud buckwheat with starch. I'run was a composition of wheat aud rye, bran, sand dust and mite eggs. Olive oil was found to be nothing but grape seod oil perfumed with rosemary oil, the adulteration bein?; so carefully done that experi enced merchants could not detect it. Cotton Wool in the Nostrils. Says Dr. E. P. Mann in tho Pacific Medical Journal: "Abundaut experi ment long ago demonstrated that cot ton wool was eapablo of arresting germinal matter with which the air is tilled. By placing within tho nostrils, out of sight, a thin pledget of cotton, not sufficiently dense to interfere with free inspiration, the air may be greatly purified. Tho cotton immediately be comes moistened during expiration, which adds materially to its efficiency as a filter. That, thus placed, it will arrest dust, particles of soot, etc., may bo easily shown by introducing the pledgets, aud then, after an hour's walk through the streots, removing thom, when they will bo found black ened and soiled. Microscopical ex amination discloses quite a museum of germinal matter. Prominent among the displays are found various forms of catarrhal and bronchial seoretion that havo been desiccated and pulver ized by passing feet, thus liberating the germs which, planted upon a con genial soil, will produce catarrh to order."

Those who make a business of ob literating evidence of flstio encoun ters in the shape of blaok eyes by painting the damaged optios no longer enjoy a monopoly of snoh business. This I was told by a pugilistio ac quaintance whose experience entitles him to be regarded as an authority on the subject. "Massage treatment of the region affected," he said "will beat paint and raw beefsteak all hollow. But it should be applied immediately after the in jury is reoeived in order to prove thoroughly efficacious. It does not require an expert to do it. All that is necessary is to move the fingers rapidly and firmly over the bruised surface, and to keep it up until the last vestige of discoloration has dis appeared. The explanation is easy. Where the blow has been reoeived the blood becomes congested. It is the clots of blood showing through the transparent skin that produces the black effect. The pressure of tho fingers gradually loosens the clotted blood, whioh passes off into the gen eral current of circulation, and lrosh and properly oolored blood takes its place." However, as a rule, the professional "pug" does not bother himself about accelerating the disappearance of a black eye. It is a sign whioh pro claims the faot that its proprietor has recently filled an engagement, and as such he is an object of envy to his less fortunate brethren. It is the man about town, whose overindulgence occasionally causes him to forget that discretion is the better part of valor, who is apt to profit most by the knowledge that massage, promptly ap plied, will remove the signs of mourn ing from an eye that has been in vio lent contact with some other fellow's fist, and thus obviate the necessity of inventing a story to account for it, which, however ingenious, will be sneered at by sceptical and incredulous acquaintances, some of. whom may have"been there themselves."—New York Herald.

It was a small pond off tho regular line of boat travel. It waH tho Agassiz-Howe party who discovered the little fishing vil lage of Bar Harbor, on Mount Desert Island, with the ragged shore below and Green Mountain looming up in the noor distance, rising as it does almost out of the sea. This must have been about the year 1858 or 1859. Robert's little old red tavern was the only imitation of au inn, and the na tives who owned the land were fisher men and farmers, or a little of both. Au investment of a few dollars in laud in those days would havo been better than Calumet and Hecla stock.
