Horse Blsoult.
The Prussian Government, hntnedl
ately nfter tlie war with France, ct
about Inventing gome kind of fornge for
horses which should he more portable
and nutritious than any before la use.
After numerous experiments this seems
to have been accomplished In the prep
aration of a biscuit consisting of thirty
parts of flour.thlrty parts "dextrlnatcd"
pea meal, thirty parts rye Hour, and ten
parts linseed meal. This may be varied
as follows: forty parts of out flour, forty
parts of dextrlnated pea meal, and twen
ty pin ts of linseed meal; or twenty parts
of peu meal, twenty parts of wheat Hour,
twenty parts corn meal, twenty parts of
rye Hour, ten parts of grated bread and
ten parts of linseed meal. As the renult
of experiments It Is found that four
pounds of these mixtures, well cooked,
possess a nutritive value equal to that of
a large ration of oats of about three
times the weight. Bo the Prussian ad
ministration of the army of occupation,
taking the result observed by the cavul
ry olllcers and the veterinary surgeons
as a basis, admits that three and a half
pounds of biscuits are worth twelve
pounds of oats. Experiments also dem
onstrated that horses fed on twelve
pounds of outs did not support the fa
tigue to which they were submitted us
well as those that received the three and
a hulf pounds of biscuits. The biscuits
can be strung on wire, and rations lor
four or live days cun eusily be carried
hung from the saddle. Their merits are
said to have been thoroughly tested, and
not the least recommendation is that
they serve quite as well for men as they
do lor horses, and the Prussians have
been obliged to udopt uieusures to pre
vent the troops from consuming the
forage intended for horses.

Production of Weeds.
Professor Prentiss, of Cornell Univer
sity, has estimated the annual crop of
seed produced by single plants of some
ol our common weeds. He finds that
the dandelion produces 2,000 ; the oxeye
daisy, 13,000 ; dock, 13,000 burdock, 24,
000 ; mayweed, 40,000 ; red poppy, 50,
000. Some time ago, according to the
Journal of Pharmacy, Mr. T. O. Davis
chose a plant of thorn apple (Datura)
with the intention of collecting its
leaves and seeds. The plant however,
was destroyed by a storm In September,
at which time it had produced 12.3
flowers and capsules ; and as each cap
sule contained between 700 and "35 seeds,
the total yield of the plant was over 00,
000 seeds. Upon reading such figures
the only wonder is that weeds can be
kept down at all. The fact is, however,
that great numbers of the seed fail to
plant themselves, and many remain in
the ground several years, only to spring
up as weeds when the ground is stirred.
In evidence of the latter fact Professor
Prentiss refers to a tobacco field where
the seed bus been allowed one year to
ripen and fall. For ten years afterward
tobacco appeared in that field from this
seeding.

Farming on a Grand Scale.
John Finnell, one of Napa's princely
farmers' has recently purchased 19,000
acres of land in Tehama County, at a
cost of $350,000. The property is known
as the Thomas estate, and has on it a
$25,000 residence and about $100,000
worth of fencing. With the land im
provements, Mr. Finnell gets 2,200 head
of cattle, 1,240 hogs, and a lot of horses,
mules, etc. This entitles Mr. Finnell
to a place in the front rank of the great
farmers of California. His home place
in this valley, comprising 1,000 acres,
and besides keeping 500 of it in a high
state of cultivation, he has for the pust
four years been paying $35,000 per year
rent for a large tract of farming land iu
Colusa County, from which he has de
rived a handsome income. We under
stand it is to be the intention of Mr.
Finnell to remove with his family to his
new home in Tehama County, next
spring. The new property has never
been put under the plow, and it is
thought will prove very productive.

B3TCopperas is the most necessary
item of the three, for a generous use of
this disinfectant is of the greatest Im
portance. Many persons give prefer
ence to chloride of lime, which although
more odorous, la no more efficacious.
The copperas is very inexpensive; can
conveniently be kept in crystals, and
.should be dissolved before using. It
will destroy unpleasant odors, disinfect
foul places, and if faithfully used, will
no doubt lessen the liability to attacks
of malarial diseases. We have read of a
whitewash made yellow with copperas,
and a free use of the crystals scattered in
corners and crevices as a vermin anti
dote and exterminator.
