(fern flhnckN m Cuttle Feed.
It in not every fartaor frho understands
or appreciates the value of corn-shucks
as feed for his cattle, and very few who
-oommonly use them as feed derive all
the benefit from their use that they
might. Wo have at hand no analysis
of corn shucks as compared with other
provender, hut experience has often dem
onstrated that they possess a value for
that purpose superior even t<
fodder, which most farmers have regarded
number one feed. Many lumlici'
large
tell you that they prefer the shucks to
fodder, and verify'what they say by buy
ing all he shucks they can* get and pay
ing a higher price than they will for the
latter. They say there is more iiutri*
them, and that their teams perform bet
ter work on them than on any other
feed. The lumber men ought to know
what they are talking about, and we l>o-
lievo they have truth on their side.
Shucks are excellent feed. Wo do not
sav they are the equal to good timothy
or clover hay, for perhaps they arc not;
but judging alone from results, apart
from analysis for which we have no great
faith, they are certainly only second
best to them, and, cost considered, more
economical to me. As commonly fed,
however, many farmers lose nearly their
whole value. They should never be
given to cattle uncut, and the cutting
should be as thorough and short as the
instrument is capable of making. All
half-rotten and molded shucks should
be rejected, and if well salted with brine
lachine the cattle will
cat them with much greater relish, not
leaving si single shred to be trodden un
der foot in the litter of the shed. Oxen
and mules and stone horses also, with
nothing but the ordinary farm work to
do, will keep in good order all winter
on salted shucks alone ; and niilcli cows
will also do well and yield plentv of
milk on the same feed, with the addition
of meal or l>ruu».sny about adnilf gallon
ch bushel of the cut feed, poured
upon it and mingled with the mass while
still wet with the sidt water. In fact «c
doubt If a bettor feed could be invented
for milch cows, and certainly nothiug so
good for the same money could be pro
vided them. We ndvise farmers to make
the best n^siblc use of their khuek* by
cutting them up and feeding them to
their stock during the winter, unless in
deed they can sell them for more than
enough to buy all tho feed they will
When to Feed Corn for Fattening Hogw
This question has been asked and an
swered many times, with varying results,
according to the breed, the cure and at
tention, the shelter, time of year, etc.
Store hogs in a healthy condition and of
good breed should lay on a pound of
additional weight for every five and six-
tenth pounds of merchantable corn fed
to them, and will do it on an average,
with reasonable care. When they do not
we think there is a defect somewhere.
If the above statement, which in our
experience we have verified, be true, one
bti'liel of corn—a part meal, and fed us
slop, and a part, all the animal will cat
on the earorslielled, changing frequently
—should make ten pounds addition to
the weight. Ten bushels of corn will
then
then represent one hundred pounds of
pork. The following conclusion is then
reached: It nays, when corn is worth
3U cents a bushel, to convert corn into
pork when it sells for $3.00 per 100
pounds, as tho manure will abundantly
pay for the care, when properly saved.
So when corn is *10 cents, pork* should
sell for $4 per 100 pounds; corn at 50
cents, pork $5; GO cents, pork $G; co
75 tents, pork $7.50. When cot
tho pork sells for
K
100 pounds,
than is thus
sponding price
if more the advance is profit—in each
» regarding the manure as pay fur the
trouble.
Fattening is accomplished most profit
ably us the cool weather of autumn ad
vances, the animals having plenty of
water or mud in which to roll when the
choose, with good shelter and wan..
quarters in which to lie. The feeding
place should be kept clean and corn in
the ear or shelled fed night and morning,
i much as they will cut up clean, and
eul at noon, with pure clean
slop i
- pure cl
water night and morning. The fatter
they become, the closer their quarters
may be. In the early stages of fatten
ing they need room for exercise, with
wheat bran, charcoal and sulphur
occasionally to keep them in condition

Poultry FonnfBff.
No other business connected with agri-
cu’tural pursuits, seems so attractive' as
poultry farming. Even those who fail in
tuo business, and retire from it, aver that
they are certain they could succeed in a
new trial; their mistakes having taught
them how to succeed in the future. This
may be true, bilt it is noteworthy that
they do not try again. Still, we have
almost daily inquiries, especially from
young men, as to the possibility of mak
ing a living by poultry, to all of which
j a forced to give unsatisfactory replies.
plowing under of clov
In this section a mode is adopted which
gives the best results, and which should
be more universally known and practiced,
viz: late in the fall, place atout each
tree close to the base, nearly one bushel
of well rotted barnyard manure, observ
ing that it contains*no other material in
which mice could build a nest. After
the ground has become free from frost in
the spring, throw a few kernels upon the
manure about a few of the trees, and the
barn yard fowls, if allowed the run of
the orchard, will soon scatter the manure
in a very thorough manner. This is not
the only point gained by this practice.
Tite fowls destroy millions of insects that

no doubt, that the fowls get accustomed
to, and do actually visit nearly evoiy tree
daily for weeks after all the manure is
finely mixed with the surface soil. This
piun’also renders the plowing of orchards
quite unnecessary. Neither is it required
to dig up the soil nlmut the base of the
trees, as the feathered tribe does it all
quite effectually, and to the fruit grow

An American Authoress to Marry an
English Lord.
The Rome correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Bulletin writes: Beforo all
other matters I must mention a piece of
news which will be interesting to j^our
renders. Amongst the American society
of Romo at present there is a young
Americnn lady of twenty-five years of
age whose name is Miss Flotchor. It is
no sin to write her name in full, because
Miss Fletcher is somewhat of a publio
character, having written a book which
has met with success and insured for its
authoress an honorable place in present
literature. She had, therefore, a pleas
ant and productive career before her. I
say had, because it has pleased an Eng
lish nobleman, Lord Wentworth, to in
terrupt that career and to offer, instead
of n laurel crowu, a more substantial one
in theshapeof ucountcss’ coronot, which
Miss Fletcher has wisely accepted, to
gether with the heart and hand of the
noble lord. So little Miss Fletcher, as
she was called last winter, becomes next
month an English peeress, and those who
caro for rank and titles well know that
Europe, ranks above an Italian princess,
or a German baroness, or u French duch
ess. Here is, then, our little Miss
Fletcher at the head, not only of Roman
society but of European society in gen
eral. “And she isn’t a bit pretty 1” ex
claim tho envious. “No. But sho is a
bright, sparkling girl—and that is bet
ter, say tho gentlemen. Aftcruil, they
arc tho best judges of the good points in
the fair sex. 1 can state, however, that
Miss Fletcher, if not quite os beautiful
as most American women (who camo
over here to astonish our eyes), has
lovely golden hair, aud this alone would
bo a great charm, even if sho had no
other. The marriage will be celebrated
at the British Embassy. Good luck to
her.

Poultry intended for immediate kill
ing should fast for twenfy-four hours be
fore being killed, since the food injures
the appearance of the bird and is also
apt to sour and damage the meat. Tur
keys should be killed by bleeding in the
neck ; in fact all poultry is better, trea
ted in the same manner and picked while
warm, though never scalded. When the
poultry is picked take off the head at
tho throat, peel back tho skin a trifle

When it is cold and just before packing
draw the skin over the end and tie and
tfiin neatly. Draw the intestines, mak-
ilg the incision as small as possible,
leaving the gizzard, heart and liver
