A very careful and elaborate inquiry into the composition of the ilesh of cattle has been made by the Missouri Station. The particulars are given in Bulletin No. 24, which should be in the hands of every one interested in the question of stock-raising. The results of the inquiry led to the following conclusions: That, in the quantity of fat produced in the feed ing of cattle, breed exerts an influence, and, looking at the question from a commercial standpoint, that Short horns and their grades are superior and more profitable than other breeds of cattle ; that, in point of palatability, or rather juiciness of flesh, Angus and Shorthorns are ahead of Grades and Herefords, and these again ahead of Sorubs ; that Shorthorns stand first in the power of beef production with Angus, Grades, Scrubs and Herefords. following in tho order given.—New York World. IMPORTANCE OF BEES. Bees piny a great part in tho produc tion of crops. Previous to 1887 red clover in New Zealand had to be re sown every year with seed imported from England, as there was no insect in the islands which could impregnate the flower. In that year, however, the last of many attempts to introduce the humble bee succeeded. New Zealand now supplies itself with clover seed, as well as having permanent clover pas tures, and it is calculated that the in troduction of this single insect is worth a million sterling to the coun try. This is but one of many experiences which seem to show that nature has placed honey in the flowers not so much for supplying food for bees and other insects, but that fertilization of plants may bo accomplished. Tho bee in flying from flower to flower gets dusted with pollen from the anthers or male organs of blossoms, and in this way it is conveyed to tho stigmas or female organs. It is iuteresting to note that when a bee starti on a for aging tour she confines herself to one description of flowers, for perhaps if there were not so the mixture of dif ferent pollens might interfere with this proper fertilization. It will therefore bo seen from this action of bees on plants, that the agriculturist owes as much to the "little busy-bee" as he does to his own skill and ex perience in tilling the soil and in choosing his seeds. SCAB IN FOWLS. The disease in poultry which ap pears in the form of thick scabs on the legs is due to the presence of mites, whioh burrow under tho skin, this being in the form of tho coarse scales by which the legs of birds are covered. II oue of the soales is lifted, a mass of pulverulent matter will be found under it, among which there will be seen numerous minute mites crawling. The irritation thus caused produces a discharge of serum, which coagulates and forms a glutinous mat ter under the scales, and in this the mites live and breed. The disoase be longs to the same class of parasitic complaints as itch, mange, and the sheep soab. The same remedies will therefore be useful. These are to ap ply some wash that will kill the in sects, and thus relievo the birds from their tormentors. The most effective remedy has been found iu a mixture of kerosene and soap dissolved in water, or of keroseno and any kind of oil. Theso are well brushed into the skin and under the soales, which may first be well soaked in hot watei to loosen the gathered matter under them and permit the easy diffusion of the oil. To keep the perches well soaked with kerosene and any kind of grease will then prevent a return of the disease. As these minute insects gather and breed in dust, and most of all in the collected manure of the fowls, it is a great relief to observe thorough cleanliness in tho poultry house.—New York Times. BACTERIA OP THE BARN, In these days when some phase of bacteriology enters into almost every action of man, it is time for the farmer to consider its relation to his work, writes C. D. Reed. For his first field of study he might well turn to his cow barn, where he will not only find the greatest abundance of material, but where a few thoughtful precau tions will be well repaid. Under the nearly perfect conditions of the now experimental barn at the lowa Ex periment Station it has been found that in five minutes' time an average of 4454 germs will fall upon a surface equal to that of the milk in an ordin ary sized milk pail, if it were set a few feet behind the cows. Directly under the cows the number would be much increased, owing to dislodgmeut daring milking. Observations in the open air outside the bnru revealed only about one-fourth as many. Among these barn germs aro in cluded the beneficial lactic acid pro ducing species, so necessary to ripen ing of cream, as well as the dele terious producers cf some of the most nauseating taints and putrefactions. Infection trom these latter is in pro portion to the cleanliness of the barn, the cows, tho milker, the milker's clothes, ventilation, etc. Neither feeding with coarse fodders nor cleun ! ing the stable should be done during [ milkina or scare; than :.i: hour or so before milking time, for myriads of germs may thus be set in motion, and the milk pail being usually near the floor will get its share. Horses shoald never be kept in the same section of the barn with cows, for horse manure is a very favorable medium for the growth of putrefactive species. The presence of horses only multiplies the disagreeable odors so readily absorbed by the milk during its short stay in the barn. As it comes from tho udder of a healthy cow milk contains no germs, and if properly handled may produce the finest of bntter; but if subjected to filthy infections of any kind, strong butter is the certain result. In part, this explains the difference between ten-cent and twenty -five cent butter. —Rural Life. DISEASES OP CABBAGE AND TURNIP. At last we have a satisfactory ex plnnation of the real nature of those diseases of the cabbage and of the tur nip, a closely allied plant to the cab bage, by which the roots of the one and the bulbs of the other are injured to such an extent as to wholly destroy the product. This is afforded by a very interesting bulletin of the Cor nell (N. Y.) Experiment Station, the author of which is Professor M. V. Slingerlan'J, aud whioh should be studied by all concerned. There are two pests in this work, one a maggot of a fly, and the other a microbe; the former eats and destroys the roots, while the other—the mi crobe—causes the deformities so often found on the roots of the cabbage, and BO well known as club root. The latter has given rise to much study by intelligent growers of cabbages, of whom the late Peter Henderson wrote the most about it. It was a shrewd thought of Mr. Henderson that the application of lime was an effective remedy for this disease, and now that the nature of it, which was not known then, is understood, it is most proba ble that the use of lime will be fonntl, as was said to be the case by Mr. Hen derson, a preventive, by destroying the organism in the soil. It may be that the weakness of the plants, due to the want of some necessary elemont of their food, gives aid and help to the organism existing in the soil, and that bettor attention to the fertilizing of the laud may tend to avoid the results of this disease. The plants of the cab bage tribe (the Brassicae) havo an ash specially rich in several elements that are not always thought necessary, as, for instance, they all contain from ten to seventeen per cent, of ash—an un usually large proportion —in which there are twenty to forty-eight per cent, of potash, five to eleven per oent. of soda, a notable proportion of mag nesia, eleven to thirty-three per cent, of lime, eleven to fourteen per cent, of sulphuric acid, fifteen to twenty per cent, of phosphorio acid, and 2 J to six per cent, of chlorine. These figures show that potash, common salt, (soda and ohlorine,) superphosphate of lime and magnesia, are all indispensable for a full feeding of these plants. And we'well know that an animal —and equally a plant— must be fully fed and completely nourished, or it will be diseased. And iu most cases the disease is of that class which is produced bj parasites, which take possession of the weak and insufficiently-nourished individuals.— New York Times. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. In laying off land for the different crops be sure to rotate. When you have a hen house, and have only limitod space, make it two story. Never, if possible, cultivate land iu corn, cotton or wheat more than one or two years in succession. Reducing the amount of food is not economy in feeding, as tho product may be reduced correspondingly. Give your childreu something they can call their own and attend to, if nothing but a pair of bantam chickens. By a recent decision of the Post office Department eggs can bo sent by mail, which will greatly rednce tho expense. Don't wait nntil you build the big barn before sheltering tho cows. Build the shelter for them and they will help you build the barn. Breed well, and when you have a heifer calf as the result of such breed ing, feed well and train properly, and yon will have a good cow. If your pullets goon the nest and, after remaining a time, go away with out depositing an egg, it is a sure in dication that thoy are too fat. Let up on the feed. Have you got your eyes on a cock erel that you propose to breed from, yet? If not, you should Let a hustle on, for o few weeks more will bring you where you will need one. Professor Bailey, of Cornell Experi ment Station, recommends from 500 to 700 pounds of muriate of potash and 300 to 600 pounds of plain superphosphate per acre as annual top dressing for mature orchards' Nitrogen is seldom needed, ho says, and is too apt to forco a growth of too much wood. Where the beat crops arc produced weeds never gain a foothold, and uever have a chance to grow. This law is universal. Weeds do little injury to good farms, ami on the contrary gooil farming extermiuates weeds. This fundamental truth should be taken into consideration whenever the coun try becomes agitated over some new weed. If you desire thrifty roses get the ground ready by placing a large shov elful of manure where each rosebush is to grow. Early in the spring get one-year-old plants of assorted kinds, and after making the ground loose und fine, mulch around them until the first leaves appear, then, work around them with a hoe, near the surface, so as tif keejj weeds do AH. ACUTE DYSPEPSIA. SYMI'ATH KTIC HK ART DISEASE OFTEN ATTENDS IT. The Modern Treatment Consists In H«- naovlng the Cause. (from the Republican, Cedar Rapid*. Iowa). Mrs. V. Curley, who has resided in Clarence, lowa, for the past twenty-two years, tolls an interesting story of what she considers rescue from premature death. Her narrative is as follows: "For ten years prior to 1894. I was a con stant sufferer from acute stomach trouble. I had all the manifold symptoms of acute dys pepsia, and at times other troubles were pres ent in complication—l did not know what it was to enjoy a meal. No matter how careful I might be as to the quality, quantity and preparation of my food, distress always fol lowed eating. I was despondent and blue. Almost to the point of insanity at times, and would have been glad to die. Often and often 1 could not sleep. Sympathetic heart trouble set in aud timo and again I was ob liged to call a doctor In the night to relieve sudden attacks of suffocation which would come on without a moment's warning. "My troubles lnereasod as time wore on and I spoilt largo sums in doctor bills, being com pelled to have medical attendants almost con stantly. During 1892 and 1893, it was im possible for mo to retain food, and water brashes plagued me. I was reduced to a skeleton. A consultation of physicians was unable to determine just what did ail me. The doctors gavo us na their opinion that the probable trouble was ulceration of tho coats of the stomach and held out no liopo of re covery. One doctor said, 'All I can do to relieve yoursuffering is by tho useof opium.' "About this timo ,1 friend of mine, Mrs. Symantlia Smith, of Glidden, lowa, told me about the case of Mrs. Thurston, of Oxford Junction, lowa. This lady said she had been afflicted much the same us I had. Sho had consulted local physicians without relief, and had gone to Davenport for treatment. Oi ving up all hope of recovery, she was persuaded by n friend to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The result was almost magical. "I was led to try them from her experience, and before many months I felt better than I had for a dozen years. 1 am now almost free from trouble, and if through some error of diet I feel badly, this splendid remedy sets me right again. I have regained my strength and am once more in my usual flesh. I sleep well and can eat without distress. I have no doubt that I owo my recovery to Dr. Wil liams' I'ink Pills. 1 only wish that I had heard of them years ago, thereby saving myself ten years of, suffering and much money."

A patent is a writing granted by a •overeign power, which secures to an inventor for a term of years tho ex clusive right to his invention. A United States patent grants to the in ventor a monopoly of his invention for a term of seventeen years, and if this term does not grant to him a sufficient oppoitunity for remunera tion the term may be extended by special act. The prime objoct of a patent system is to foster aud promote the inventive faculties of a Nation. Beyond and above this is a utilitarian purpose. It is that after the inventor has been granted a monopoly of his invention for a limited period, dnriug whioh ho is supposed to take advantage of the opportunity to reward himself for his labors, the invention becomes public property and the peoplo at large are thereby benefited. Any attempt to thwart those funda mental principles, if successful, works harm not only in tho special case in which it is made, but militates against tho whole system by setting up an ex ample which encourages other such attempts.—Electrical Review.

While the notaa of inseot* an amonf the loudest, and popularly supposed to prooeed from the mouth, they are, iu faet, instrumental—in other words, are produced by various musical instruments with whioh na ture has endowed them, and yet whioh, to some extent, correspond to the voice of other animals, the sounds and calls being answered by others of their kind. When the grasshopper wishes to hail some companion or talk to its fellow over the fence, it simply rubs its thigh against the forewings, or plays upon a veritable fiddle. If the leg of the musician be examined under a microscope, a ridge of very fine teeth (the souud producers) will be seen. The loudest players are the loousts, which often make the woods resound with their calls. Sometimes all are playing or chattering at once; again, there will be a lull iu the conversation then one will begin, the note will be taken up by another, aud finally a volume of sound will blend and fill the air. In the former case wo had a fiddler, but here the musician is a drummer, as we may ascertain by examining the locust. The base of the anterior wing is transparent, forining a regular drum, with whioh the males produce their calls; and as there aro many different species, so there are many different calls, and some, it is said, have certain calls for night and others for the daytime. The cicada, by using a drum at the base of the abdomen, produces a re markable sound, sufficient even to frighten off an enemy, yet a big wasp will sometimes carry off a big cicada despite the "zeeing" and drumming of the victim. The notes of the katydid are per haps as familiar as any, and have a certain fascination, the sounds taking on various inflections and meanings. They are produced through the rub bing of the inner surface of the hind legs against the outer surface of tiie front wings—through fiddling, in fact. When the male cricket sings on the hearth, it raises its forewings and scrapes them against its bind ones. Even the butterfly makes a sound audible at some distance, certain species having been heard to produce a clicking souud.—Scientific Amer ican. Electricity Generated in His Mouth. A curious case has just been re corded in which an electric current was found to be generated by a pair of hrtificial teeth. A patient con sulted his doctor 011 account of a se vere pain in his tongue. But the suf ferer was assured that there was noth ing the mutter. He then paid a visit to his dentist, who informed him that his teeth were perfectly sound. Be ing, however, dissatisfied he called upon an electrician he knew and asked him if it were possible he could have any electricity in his mouth. On ex amining the teeth his friend found that two metals were used to fix them to a composition plate. To these metal wires were then attached and connected to a galvanometer. Then the teeth were replaced in the pa tient's mouth and the metals moist ened with saliva. No sooner was this done than the galvanometer showed quite a large current from so small a source—enough, it is stated to cause ulceration and severe pain when long continued upon so sensative an organ as the tongue. The plate was covered with an insulatingvarnish, and thence forward all the trouble ceased. —In- dustries and Iron.

It is well within the memory of many persons when metal as a build ing material was practically unknown, says tho Philadelphia Record. But within a few years building has been almost revolutionized by the use of metal in various forms and for various purposes. Iron beams, columns, gir ders, rafters and window cashes have come into use, and now we are to have as a regtilar addition to our list a great variety of stamped-out sec tions. These have heretofore been made mostly out of galvanized iron or some composition of tho spelter sort, or, in fine and high-priced work bronze has been employed. Steel is, however, found to answer all demands far better than any other motal used for this purpose. Door and window oasings will be made of metal, and, indeed, almost all parts of a houso may be constructed of something be sides wood. With paper-pulp doors and floors, metal frames and finish, slate or tin roofs, and Portland ce ment or concrets walls, our houses may in time come to be actually fire proof, as they have for a long time unjustly olaimed to be. We would not have expended HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS doing galvanizing, for which we made no extra charge, had there not been merit in tt. Galvanizing consists in coating the strong but most perishable (in thin sheets) metal, steel, with the almost indestructible (even v hen very thin) metals, sine end aluminum.
