Potatoes for Cows. The Rural New Yorker Hnys : " 1'otn tnes ns cnttlo food will probably oomo into cninnion uwa tills bcuroii In tbouc districts whrro lmiivy crops glut tbe local nmrki ts nnd heavy freights pre clude) the dlHtnnt ones. In this cornice, tlon, the results of a M-rlcs of expert mcnts by Dr. Wolir, n Oerinan cheinlst, mny be profitably Instructive to some, of our readers. He experimented in feed lug raw and cooked potatoes to two cows, together with hay and rape-seed cake. When fedon cooked potatoes theanlnmls did not give os large a quantity of milk ns when fed upon raw; but the milk made nearly a third more butter, forty- two pounds of milk having been re quired to make a pound of butter in one ease, nnd only twenty-seven In the other." Wearing Flannel. The majority of people are not aware of the beneficial (.'fleet of wearing llunnel near'tho body, both in cold and warm weather, ns prejudiced people believe. Frequently colds and constantly hack ing coughs soon leave on adopting flannel garments. There Is no need of bulk about the waist, which condemns the wearing of flannel with those who prefer wasp waists to health, for In that case the flannel can' be cut ns loosely fitting waists, always fastened at the back. There are scarcely nny of the bad effects of sudden ehangcBof weather felt by those who wenr flannel garments, nnd mothers should endeavor to secure such for little people, in preference to nil those showy outside trimmings which fashion demands. Worth Trying. The following successful experiment Is reported. A Frenchman is to lie credited with a discovery that if mortar Is likely to peel oil', the tendency can tie prevented by substituting sawdust for hair in the original mixture. Ho had previously tried in vain to make mortar that would stay in a place on a building exposed to damp winds near the seashore. After frequently renewing the mortar In the old way, he tried the use of sawdust in place of hair, and was quite success ful. The sawdust had been thoroughly dried, and its coarser portions was re moved by sifting. Cleveland Trade Rc victv. . . Gloves and Pin-Money. Gloves were introduced into England In the tenth century, but were only used by the wealthy people, and were con sidered very valuable. As New Year's gifts they were quite popular, or some times "glove-money" in place of them. "Pin-money" originated in somewhat the same manner. Pins were so costly that money spent or laid aside for them was called "pin-money," and it became so important that it grew into the name of dower, which was settled upon the lady at her marriage. CaT" An Iowa paper very truly says that extra price received for a superior article is nearly all profit. And this is especially the case with the farm. It costs no more to raise a good horse than a poor scrub. No more feed, care, or time is required. And if the plug horse can be raised so as to pay expenses, there is a fine profit in raising first-class horses. The same in the case with meat cattle. In fact, it coats more per pound to raise such a steer as would sell for three cents per pound, than one which sells for six cents per pound. In this case thee are nearly double the number of pounds, and double the price per pound, and yet, the choice steer takes no more food or care then the other. In this case not only the extra price is the profit, but the extra weight also. In selecting crops to plant it should be borne In mind that the growth of some crops Impoverishes the soil more than that of others, and also that some make richer manure than others. A crop of red clover, for instance, does not impoverish the soil as much as one of timothy grass, while a ton of clover will make manure worth about half as much again as that made from an equal weight of timothy hay. The manure from a given weight of peas and beans, also, it is calculated, la worth twice as much as that from an equal weight of oats, barley, rye or Indian corn. t3T To remove fruit stains, let the spotted part of the cloth imbibe m little water without dipping it, and hold the part over two or three lighted brimstone matches at a proper distance. O" You can get a bottle or barrel of oil oft any carpet or woolen stuff, by applying dry buckwheat plentifully and faithfully. Never put water to a grease pot, or liquid of any kind. NEW GOODS.
