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

Keep your harness soft and clean,

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

Never allow your horse to stand on
hot, fermenting manure, as this will
soften the hoofs and bring on diseases

to lie under the manger, as the gases
will taint his food and irritate his
lungs as well as his eyes.

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.

KEROSENE EMULSION.
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

Food Adulteration.
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

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

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."

"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

knowledge that massage, promptly ap
plied, will remove the signs of mourn
ing from an eye that has been in vio

inventing a story to account for it,

Discovery o( a Noted Watering Place.
The Worcester (Mass.) Gazette re
calls the faot that Professor Agassiz,
Dr. Howe, James Russell Lowell and
other companion spirits useij to spend
their vacations together in some out
of-the-way unknown spot. Dr. Howe
had at one time a camp, a log house
of some size, on Little Ampersand
Pond, in tho Adirondacks, not many
miles from Martin's, on tho Lower
Saranac, but thero was a four hours'
carry through tho woods. 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. The
Cam bridge men told their friends
about Mount Desert, and Bar Harbor
became in time the most popular
watering place on the coast.
