FOR FAR* AND GARDEN.
For Fattening Cattle.
For fattening cattle, especially to in
crease the production of milk in cows,
it is asserted that tho pre'sod cake from
cotton seed gives the best results.
The next in good results is tho pressed
cake from peanut 3 No other kind of
.
food seems to equal the two mentioned
for milch cows, the milk results being
greater in amount and richer in quality.
The above-named foods, like all other
concentrated materials, are to bo used
in conjunction with the usual rations
for good results.—[New York World.
Green Food for the Fowls.
Fowls need green food as well as dry
grains, and when they have the tun of
the farm, as they generally do, can
ily supply themsolvos as they want it.
When they are confined in small runs,
in towns, they need it just ns much,
it ought to be supplied by giving
clover and the like wlion it can
done. I have found it quite a
plan to sow a little plot of rich
in the garden very thickly with
seed. This, when grown up, makes
great many leaves that keep greon for
longtime, and my chickens liko
very much.
Breeding Sows.
A good breeding sow is the
profitable animal that can bo kopt on
farm. Site should bo bred twice
year. When tho pig 3 ara from four
five weeks old, in tho spring they
be sold, or weaned, and in a few
tho sow will bo in heat for another
ter. She may then be turned into a
ture where she can got water, and
will not requiro any other food until
the next set of pigs is born. If
pasture gets very short, and there
not enough food, lot hor have a
green cornstalks, weeds, or any
stuff which may bo found, She
no grain at all, and there need bo
worry about tho pigs, as they will
all tho better from tho diot on green,
succulent foods. Tho breeding sow
always do hotter when thinnifh, or
all events, free from fat. Pigs are
ways in demand, especially if wall bred.

Danger in the Farm House Cellar.
Tho average farm house collar is as
dangerous to lifo as a powder magazine
under tho homo. It is too often a re¬
ceptacle for potatoes, cabbages, turnips,
and other vegetables and fruits, and as
these are put in without caro to avoid
heating and decay, they soon become a
source of danger, if not of disease. Ail
tho evaporation from thoso stores rises
through tho floors and mingles with the
air of tho house, not often sufficiently
pure for healthful vitality. This should
not bo permitted. An outdoor root
house or a cellar under a barn should be
provided for these provisions, nnd this
i3 the more imperative as it is usual in
the same cellar to koep milk and butter
and the animal food and bread of the
household. Meat is particularly sus
ccptiblo to these poisonous exhalations,
and so is milk, and thoy are thus intro¬
duced to tho stomach and into tho
blood, whero thsy becomo seeds of dis¬
ease and death. Thoso most fatal dis¬
eases of children, scarlet fever and
diphtheria, aro mostly duo to tho un¬
wholesome condition of tho cellar, by
which tho atmosphero of tho rooms
above is poisoned.—[New York Times.
Storing Apples For Long Keeping.
There is a differenco in tha keeping
qualities of apples in different years,
says the Now York World, that nobody
has been fully able to account for. Oc¬
casionally a year occurs, to all outward
appearances not exceptionally different
from others, when windfalls will keep
as wella3 carefully picked apples in for¬
mer ones. Such a difference cannot bo
laid to the handling of tho fruit, but
must bo owing to atmospheric in¬
fluences.
Apples will endure without injury a
much lower temperaturo than will po¬
tatoes, and the cooler thoy are kept
without freezing th) better. Dry, cool
cellars are gonerally preferred by farm¬
ers as a store place for their barrelled
apples, but of lato years some growers
claim that this fruit keeps better in
moist than in dry places, always pro¬
viding said place is cool.
When kept in cellars, good ventila¬
tion is necessary in all cases. When
barrelled in an orchard and not shipped
away at once, the apples are better to
be put up in tiers under tho trees and
protected from the rain and sua
boards than to be put ia buildings.
Borne persons leavo the barrels all
the ground in tho shade and uncovered,
claiming that they keep cooler on tho
ground than when piled up.

the orchard should be on high or
lands and not too rich.
Tree Training.
A lad of fourteen of my
learned how to sot buds and grafts
how to secure their growth; and
planted apple and pear plants ia
share of tho garden, and
everybody by his ingenuity and
industry in giving them curious forms,
as well as improving the house fruits.
Having a pair of young trees standing
foot or so apart he secured tho
from being moved by staking them
ly, and then by bending side
across from ono stem to the other
Apri, and cutting the ends off where
they met the other tree, shaving off
side of the tip and slipping it under
through the bark, securing it by a
pin and a covering of wax,
made a living ladder, Where
aide branch oame right he cut a ioag,

he planted four young plant) equi-ii>

in to serve as four legs for the tree, its

Indian Corn and Live Stock.
The third aanuil report o:i ho ;s, cit
tle and corn has just been issu d by a
prominent commission firm at til: Stock
Yaid), Chicago. It show*, whit we
have predicted, that there will bo a
scarcity of hog). B.P, while swim are
diminished in numbers, the a imal3 will
be, or should b?, owing to our v ist ora
crops, superior in quility ani weight.
The same rule will work in all livo
stock. An abundance of corn will
make heavy cattle and sheep as wall a)
hogs. We do not think there i) reason
to fear that the output o: meat w’ill be
equal to tho demand. The report allu¬
ded to states that the indications arq
that tho bulk of tho supply of the pack¬
ing hogs will be shipped to market at
least a month or six weeks later than
usual, bringing them in principally in
December, January, an l even later.
Tho number of cattle to be fattened
shows an increase of 10 per cent., and,
with tho excellent corn crop, extra good
beef should bo found at reasonably low
prices during the coming year. Dakota
alono reports a full crop of hogs and
pigs, Michigan reports a full crop of
pigs, but that stats cuts a comparativoly
until figure, as fully 70 per cont. of its
hogs aro marketed youtg. L laving out
Dakota and Michigan, tho balance of
tho list shows a total shortage oi old
hogs of 24 per cont.; on shoats, 111-3
per cent. Iowa and illinois, which
furnish tho largest psrcintago of ho ;s,
together show a dccraaso ol 25 1- 2 per
cent, on old hogs and 13 1 2 per cent,
on shoats.
Tho dacrea30 in tho receipts of bog 3
at tho stock yards for September, as
compared with tho samo month last yoar,
was 110,000 hogs. Tho decrease so far
this month (only five day-i) compared
with the samo timo last year is over
50,000 hogs.
Theso percentages are all based on tho
reports of a year ago, calling last year
100 per cent. The crop of hogs last
year was 10 or 15 per coat, short of
tho precoding year, and tho csrn crop
was also short. In many places, notably
at Missouri rivor points, tho corn crop
of ono year ago was good, and theso
points show a decrcaso this year, wltilo
at many other points ia all tho stato 3
tho crop was nearly a fai'uro. Thoso
points this year show a largo increase.

Farm and Garden Notes.
A potato may bo as easily btuisod as
an apple.
Stand by tho sheep. A sheep comes
up every six months and pays its bill.
Tho soil should bo deeply spaded,
plowed and mado rich by compost man¬
ure.
Trees should not b) planted any
deeper than they woro in tho nursery
rows.
Don’t count on planting tho trees in
that new apple orchard nearer than 35
feet apart.
Dig large holes, sufficiently wide and
deep to receive the roots without
crowding.
On many farms, says tho Ploughman,
a few acres of wintor rye might be
grown to as good advantage as almost
any crop. It requires but little labor,
and not much manure, and ia most lo¬
calities tho straw will pay tho cost,
loaving tho grain as clear profit. Very
few crops draw so little from the
land, and very fow have so few enemies,
or are so cortaia to produco good crops
every year. Growing as it does in tho
autumn and spring, it is not affected by
summer droughts, and it is gathering in
substance from the surrounding atmos¬
phere at a soason when other crops uso
tho least; for this reason a crop of ryo
takes but very little fertilizer from the
soil.

A convict named Cassidy, confined in

Peculiarities of tiie Bent Twig.
As to tho peculiarities of bendin Ol
alter a pieco of wood is bent its charac¬
ter is almost entirely changed. It is
wonderful how it is changed, and by
that chango it is better fitted for any
uso than it was before. Bending makes
the wood heavier; it is pressed to¬
gether, and the samo bulk of wood
weighs moro after it is bont than bo
fore. Another peculiarity is that when
it i 3 thoroughly dry it is stiffor than the
same-siz)d pieco of wood that is alike
every other way in regard to grain. It
will admit of moro strain and move less
out of its position than a pieco of wood
that is unbent. On this account it is
better fitted for carriage-making than
sawed pieces. A pieco of timber that
has boon steamed, whether it is bent of
not, has its stiffaess increased. It is
more brittle than it was before, and, fof
some uses. it will not do as well; and
yet tbero is a quality of timber that tha
steaming process and tho kiln-drying
process aff -ct very much the same; they
both cook tha gutn in the timber aud
make it brittle and stiff. Thero is a
grade or class of hickory that is bene¬
fited by being steam d or kiln-dried
for uso as spoke 3 or whiffi.trees. Thero
is a kind of hickory that nevor becomes
stiff by a natural process of dryia -
o»
and one of the desirable qualities of a
spoke, rim or whiffletreo is stiffness &3
well as strength. Y'ou take that hick¬
ory—and it i) tho very best we have_
and steam it, and it i) better fitted for
theso purpises thau it was before, It
is difficult to tear apart a pieco of bent
wood; ths fibers aro interwoven one
with tho other. We do not perceive
the change on the out?ide, but when
we come to split the stick open we find
that its character is entirely changed.—.

AIIMY HORSES’ TAILS.
The Reason Why They Are Long in
the Cavalry.
As ft woman’s hair is her crown of
glory, so the horse’s tail is his sceptre of
grnoe, says a writer. It is a noticeable
fact, and one worthy of comment, that
never in tho history of our army have
tho tails of the trooper's horses, nor of
those of tho light batteries, been med¬
dled with. Not so with the tails of
horses seen in haunts of fashion, Tho
custom of docking their tails is now car¬
ried to an absurd extent, and ultra fash¬
ionables leave tlieir faithful slaves scarce¬
ly any tails nt all. It now seems proba¬
ble that it will end like that of the farm¬
er's dog whose tail was cut off just be¬
hind his ears. the
Thirty years or less ago it was
fashion to “prick” horses' tails as well
as to “dock,” or cut them off. The de
pressory muscles w’ere severed alter the
removal of about two-thirds of the tail
itself, and the mutilated stump was ele¬
vated by means of a rope attached to a
weight, passed through a pulley in the
ceiling of tho stable. This, while pos¬
sibly excusable in tho treatment of
horses that kicked and became danger¬
ous when their tails were thrown over
tho reins in driving, was, as a rule, a
cruel and a senseless custom.
gome horsemen claim that “docking” _
improves deficient quarters, a c alm
which is easier to make than to estab¬
lish. liked
Tho horse lias been aptly bow, to his a
ship; his bead represents the
body the hull and his tail the rudder.
The eyo is the lookout and the indicated prompt
obedience of motion to that
by the quick movement of the tail, is
more rapid than that of the most faith¬
ful Ixion. The folly of the votaries of
fashion is greater than they dream of,
their lives even sometimes paying the
penalty. The body of the horse is inolined, per¬
haps imperceptibly, but none the loss
surely, toward the point to which he de¬
sires "to direct his course. The head is
turned, also, more or less in the same
direction, the tail inclining towa d an
opposite course and tho long hair flows
outward, gently favoring the grace of
movement, A “swish" of the tail
when suddenly changing direction nt
speed, aids tho horse in maintaining bis
balance and enables him to turn quickly by
aud gracefully. In bis employment require
the civilians, in such sports as
speed and obedience, the animal’s abili¬
ty to move quiokly in changing direction
is sacrificed to gratify a senseless whim.
The polo player is mounted on a pony,
agile and willing to answer his master’s
slightest wish. He is fleet, active and
well-trained, but, deprived of his steer¬
ing apparatus and when he needs it
most, must flounder liko a ship that has
lost its rudder. Very probably the New¬ re¬
cent accidents at the polo games at
port would not have happened if the
ponies had uot been “docked.”
Who ate the best riders in the world?
The Comanches. Do they dock tlieir
ponies’ tails? No, they are far too wise
and ounning to do anything so foolish.
True, they sometimes perceptibly clip a pony’s impede ear, his
but that does not
movement. Inquiry and research fail to
show that horses’ tails are cut off in any
cavalry regiments in the world.
Meu Are Just as Bad.
A woman, speaking of the attacks
made upon her sex for tlieir methods of
handling their skirts or bustles when
sitting down, carrying their parasols,
and other habits, says: “I think three
quarters of bu&i talk is nonsense. I am
perfectly sure that men have just as
many marked habits as women. What
can be more absurd, I would like to
know, titan to see a man, every time he
sits down, fling his coat tails wide apart?
Then, again, that everlasting twitching
at the legs of his trousers, so as to pull
them up in folds above the knees, and
exposing tractive generally the not always at¬
top of a pair of shoes, with
strings tied in a by no means pictur¬
esque knot. To me one of tho repulsive
habits is the refolding up of a handker¬
chief beforo replacing in the pocket,
which is quite common among men. I
always wonder if the user is afraid of
getting them mussed or only wants tho
outside fresh and clean. As regards
pulling down cuffs so they will show be •
neath the sleeve, and similar tricks, are
they not every day sights ?”

strength, the itching was unrelieved. I finally
concluded to take a thorough course of Brax

Aunt.”
Aunt Jane. Well, Mildred, I suppose I
should not expect a girl of your age to be up on
such matters, but certainly her mother ought to
be It happens that only a short time ago I
was reading an article on Etiquetto in my in¬
fallible guide entitled, “Beforo and After the
Marriage Engagement, I will lend the mag¬
azine to you, which trill answer all your ques¬
tions. And now, that you are contemplating
marriage, let me give you a little advice, Do
not start off like your mother did, to always de¬
pend on others for her information, Your
mother always says, “Go ask Aunt Jane, she
knows everything.' Well, I am egotistical
enough to admit that I can generally give in¬
formation on almost every subject that comes up
in tho home circle, aud yet I will toll you can¬
didly that every hit of my household knowledge
has been gained from reading Demorest’s
Monthly Magazine. It covers absolutely every
point interesting to a family, and without it I
would he lost for answers to your numerous
questions. Every mother should take it, and
every girl like you, who is contemplating start¬
ing a new home, should put that down as the
fi st requisite. May be you think my praise ia
too strong. Well! try for yourself. You say
you want a pattern of that jacket I have just
finished. Unfortunately, mine is too largo for
you, but I see that IV. Jennings Demorest,
publisher of Demorcst’s Monthly Magazine, is
offering to send a specimen copy of tho Maga¬
zine for ten cents. Send for ono, and you will
get your pattern for nothing, for each Maga¬
zine contains a Pattern Order, entitling the
holder to the selection of any pattern in stock
and of any size manufactured. Don’t think by
this that Demorest’s is a Fashion Magazine, for
it is not. Its fashion department is perfect, as
are all its other departments, but James is as
anxious for its arrival each month as I am my¬
self. It is situ ply a perfect Family Magazine
worth ten times the subscription price, which is
only two dollars per year. If you are thinking
of subscribing for a magazine for the coming
year, he sure and send ten cents for a specimen
of Demorest’s Monthly Magazine before de¬
ciding.
