FXJESB OP CATTLE.
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.

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.

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.

(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."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all the ele
ments necessary to give new life aud richness
to the blood and restore shattered nerves.

What a Patent Is.
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.

Production of Hounds by Inseeta.
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

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-

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Fortunes In Old Bottles.
Out of tho bottles that yon and
your neighbors throw away there are
four or five dealers in Pittsbnrg that
divide up a matter of $53,000 in pro
fits every year. The old-bottle busi
ness is not thoroughly worked in this
city, but in other largo cities of the
.country the profits are many times
greater. In this city the collectors
gather up something like 3,000,000
bottles a year. The profits range from
half u cent to three cents on each bot
tle. According to the figures given
by a dealer yesterday, the average
profit on each bottle is three-fourths
of a cent. There is considerable money
invested in the business here, and it
gives employment to a large number
of men. Dealers here collect over
300 classes of bottles and have a fixed
price for each grade. Half of them
are sold here, and the remainder are
sent to New York and Brooklyn,
Hugh Qninn, in the latter city, being
the largest dealer. Ho has fifty ware
houses there, where he receives and
stores bottles. —Pittsburg Post.

Dr. Kennedy,
Dear Sir :
lam the little, boy you sent the
Discovery to about six: weeks ago.
J used two bottles and also the
salve. When I began to use the
medicine my sores were as large as
a quarter of a dollar, and now they
are as large as a ten cent piece and
I feel much better. Mamma and
I feel very thankful to you. J shall
write again and tell you how J
am getting along.

Metal as a Building Material.
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. If tlier« were not great merit in galvanizing,
no one would pay H more for galvanized barbed wire or fheet
iron than ungilvanized costs. ]? we were making painted
windmills to-day, we should furnish an
©Ft. for sls.

teho bug them are ignorant of'the value of galvanising. We

nuts We galvanize with the mo«t improved processes and in
the most perfect known and attainable manner.
