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

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.
