HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
Welnvlte enimrtmiii'stlnrie from H ppr.nn who are
interested lu matters properly beloniiiUK to tntsde
partraout. Turnips for Milk.
At recent publlo meeting in Con
necUcut Nntlmn Hart advocated the use
of the common turnip ns food for a
mllkdinry. "A few winters aince I
was feeding common turnips, d when
the supply wns exhnusted I had the
curiosity to estimate the valueof turnips
per bushel for feeding purposes from the
returns that I actually received from the
milk. We were then getting six cents
per quart for our milk. The diminished
flow of milk resulting. from discontinu
ing this feed of turnips enabled me to
calculate that the turnips were worth
twenty-five cents a bushel to feed to
cows. I refer to the common flat or
field turnip. But as to their saving hay
I do not think they do. I think they
act as an alterative and their use will
cause the cow to more perfectly digest
her food. It seems to be adapted to the
wants of the cow and produces a good
digestion. I feed just before milking."
In another portion of his discourse Mr.
Hart tells us that when feeding turnips
they are fed just before mllklngat night,
and the last feed of the day is given
immediately after. He did not find
them to impart any deleterious or un
pleasant odor or taste to the milk, but
thought it important to commence feed
ing them gradually and Blowly, Increas
ing the amount to the full feed; he
thought it Important to feed them just
before milking.
Koine, Wife and Saturday.
Happy la the man who has u little
home and ft little angel in it on Saturday
night a house, no matter how little,
provided it will hold two or so; no
matter how humbly furnished, provided
there Is hope in it. Let the winds blow
close the curtains. What if they ure
plain calico, without border, tassel or
any such thing. Let the rain come
down heap up the fire. No matter if
you haven't a candle to bless yourself
with, for what a beautiful light glowing
coals make. IJendcring cloudless, shed
ding a sun set through the room just
light enough to talk by, not loud, us in
the highways, not rapid, as in the
hurrying world, but softly, softly,
whispering, with pauses between, for
the storm without and thoughts within
to fill up with. Then wheel the sofa
around by the fire; no matter if the sofa
is a settee ; uncushioned at that, if so be
it is just light enough for two and a half
in it. How sweetly the music of silver
bells for the time to come falls on the
listening heart then I How mournfully
swells the chimes of " the days that are
no more."
63T If people wan their hens to lay in
cold weather, they must supply them
with plenty of gravel and lime,and fresh
meat of any kind chopped into small
pieces. The latter should be fed three
times weekly. During the winter months
eggs are worth twice as much in this
market as they are in spring, and a little
extra care and attention to the hennery
will be well repaid by an increased yield
of eggs. Chickens thrive better on a
variety of food, and a diet of corn, buck
wheat and oats fed on alternate days
will be more conducive to the preserva
tion of health than if either of these
grains were given them.
63 Never whip your horse for be
coming frightened at any object by the
roadside; for if he sees a stump, a log,
or a heap of tan bark in the road, and
while he is eyeing it carefully, and about
to pass it, you strike him with the whip,
it is the log or the stump or the tan bark
that is hurting him in his way of reason
ing, and the next time he will be more
frightened. Give him time to examine
and smell of all these objects, and use
the bridle to assist you in bringing him
carefully to these objects of fear.
-
Remedy for choking cattle is
opportunely about this time when they
are more than usually exposed to the
danger of getting an apple, potato, or
small turnip stuck in the gullet. A
remedy is said to be to open the mouth
of the choking animal and throw upon
its tongue, away back, a tablespoon ful of
saltpetre, then let the beast go and the
obstacle will either pass out or in, in a
very short time.
