Careful Breeding.
A writer in the Philadelphia Record says
that the breeder is not behind the manufac
turer and inventor in the work accom
plished, though his work has been more
difficult and has extended over a greater
period of time. When the field is observed
it shows a most wonderful progress for the
breeder during the past fifty years. He has
taken all the domestic animals from their
original condition and molded or changed
them in form as though modeling from
clay, and the characteristics of each breed
have been fixed according to his preference.
He has divided the horses into breeds and
classified them, producing from the same
original stock the heavy draught, the run
ner and the trotter, not excepting the po
nies, and is now at work on fast-gaited
walking horses, each family being entirely
different from the others, while crosses of
the ass and the horse of the present day
produce mules of larger size than either
parent. The cattle have been classified in
a manner to permit of the selection of par
ticular breeds for any purpose to which
such stock may be adapted. The Short
horns, Herefords and Polled Angus are bred
solely for beef, the Jerseys and Guernseys
are especially adapted for the production
of butter, the Devons are best as work
oxen, and the Holsteins and Ayrshires excel
as producers of milk, though the latter
breeds are excellent butter producers also.
The breeder’s operations with swine have
also been very successful. He has bred
them to a uniformity of color truly re
markable. The Berkshire is not only spe
cially provided with large, full, prominent
hams, but is also marked with black hair
and four white feet, as well as a white spot
on the forehead and on the tuft of the tail.
The Essex is entirely black and bred long
in the body as a producer of side meat
while the short-faced Yorkshire, white in
color, mature very early and excel in the
production of fat and lard. Sheep are
classified into mutton and wool breeds, the
former being subdivided into families that
produce a larger proportion of marbled
flesh according to maturity or size, while
the wool breeds are made to produce long,
middle or fine wool, according to prefer
ence. No work of tho breeder has been
considered impossible. His efforts have
been successful in every direction. Even
the poultry have been classified and the
breeder has even destroyed the propensity
to incubate in some breeds. The great value
of the work done by the breeders who have
brought about these classifications cauiiot
be estimated, as the increase is not confined
to a single year. Whether the limit of im
provement has been reached or not cannot
be stated, but in the face of such wonderful
accomplishments it is safe to claim that
nothing seems impossible.
Overfeeding Hogs with Corn.
Mr. F. D. Curtis, in an article in the
Southern Fanner, says that as a rule there
is little danger of hogs being overfed with
corn in the cotton States. There must be a
limit to the time of feeding pigs, or even
old hogs, all the corn they will eat. Old
hogs will stand it longer, but in the end
they will break down. The dent corn is a
lighter food than the flint and can be fed
longer, but ground or unground, an exclu
sive and excessive feeding of clear corn
will in tin* ruin any hog; but some will
endure it longer than others.
A man who does not take any agricultu
ral paper, partly from stinginess and partly
from a notion that he knows as much as
“them book fellers,” fed a pen of ten pigs
this year. He had a lot of old flint corn
ground and when they were about eight
months old, having kept them up to this
time on milk, he begen giving them all the
corn meal they would eat. They ate it
freely, for hogs, and in fact all animals,
are very fond of com meal. They grew
very fast, and the owner was thinking that
by New Y ear’s he would beat the town
with his pigs, when all at once they refused
to eat and would not lea\ e the nest.
It was found that they were foundered,
and the result was that they had to be
turned out of the pen and it took weeks for
any to get over it, and some never did. Let
it be remembered that this will always be
the case with any pen of hogs fed long
enough and kept confined. When hogs
have the run of a field, is is rarely the case
that they will get so feverish as to be foun
dered all over, but they will often get quite
stiff. The corn should be mixed with bran
or oats and only half of the bulk of the
food should be of the corn or carbonaceous
sort. Such fevered pork is not tho thing to
eat. When hogs are fed all the corn meal
they will eat one-third of it is wasted. If
farmers do not believe this get a microscope
and examine the excreta and see tho corn
meal in it undigested. It can also be seen
by the simple magnifier of common sense.
Breeding from Sound Mares.
The National Live Stock Journal says
that an inspection of mares kept for breed
ing purposes on many farms will show that
the plan followed has been to retain those
that, owing to blemishes are not saleable.
Too little regal'd is paid to tho fact that
frequently these blemishes are such as are
likely to be inherited by the offspring.
When mares are bought, too, for use as
breeders, those that sell for a lower price
on account of defects are frequently taken
by farmers because they can be obtained
for less money. Chances are taken on being
able to grow the colts and dispose of them
before the defects, if inherited, make their
appearance. Those, however, frequently
develop before the colt is old enough for
sale and the result is a loss, for the care and
expense of raising a blemished colt is quite
as much us that of raising one that will find
a ready sale. It will lie found a much bet
ter plan to keep fewer mares and have those
sound and well formed, such as may lie de
pended upon when mated with the proper
stallions to produce stock that will find
ready purchasers at remunerative prices,
h will 1 .0 found poor economy to follow the
Plan of breeding from defective dams or
sires, as the result will, in the majority of
cases, prove a disappointment.
Burnt Bones for Plants.
t irk'a Magazine, for November says that
Pulverized burnt bones contain all the phos
phate of lime originally in them and are
' ; illiable for plant growth; to what extent
"ill depend upou the kinds of plants the
material is used on and the condition of the
’'“‘l- If used in excess of the real require
ments of the plants it would probably not
injurious to them. For house plants its
feal value could be established only by trial
Points About Arrowroot.
The Florida Agriculturist says that Mr.
E. I\ endt has been making experiments
with arrowroot with the view of utilizing
it for making starch. The starch which he
has manufactured from it is reported to be
of excellent quality, very fine and free from
all lumps and foreign matter. The Agri
culturist says that this is another example
of what our people could do if they would.
Arrowroot grows well on our pine land and
is less affected by vicissitudes of weather
than almost any other crop that can bo
produced, and the manufacture of the starch
is an easy matter, requiring more cleanli
ness than skill. While it may not pay a
big per cent it will furnish some revenue, if
not from the amount exported, from the
amount it will save in furnishing an article
of home consumption. Each family should
have a small patch for their own use, and
we are glad to know that quite a number
around here are raising it.
To make the starch the roots must be re
duced to a pulp by a grater or similar ar
rangement. The pulp should be thoroughly
washed and strained through a fine sieve.
The fibrous matter will remain in the sieve
while the small particles of starch will be
carried through with the water and settle
to the bottom of the tub. The water is then
drawn off and the starch spread on muslin
trays to dry. The more times the sfarch is
washed and allowed to settle and the bot
tom layer taken, the finer quality will be
the article produced.
Land Plaster.
It is stated that the power of land plaster
of absorbing that powerful and volatile
fertilizer, ammonia, and holding it fast
until it is to be given up to the growing
crop, makes it a very valuable constituent
of the compost. We often see a compost
heap or manure pile giving off ammonia.
This is apparent to our eyes as well as to
our nose. The easiest and most effectual
way to stop this escape of so valuable a
substance is to sow plaster over the heap. It
will absorb the escaping ammonia and hold
it fast, while ail the time gathering a fur
ther store from the atmosphere. Every
man who composts manure or who allows
stable manure to accumulate has need of
gypsum.
Liebig says that the good effects of land
plaster are not diminished in soils having
an abundance of lime. It is an excellent
fertilizer for potatoes, for clover and peas
as well as many other crops. Liebig found
that four pounds of land plaster produced
100 pounds of clover. Crops that need a
great deal of ammonia are greatly bene
fited by land plaster, and ammonia is al
most a universal fertilizer, good for all
crops. One bushel of land plaster to an
acre is said to be as good as ten bushels; the
crop can only appropriate or use a small
quantity, and it is waste to use more than
the crop needs.
Small Breeds of Fowls.
A well-known writer on poultry says
that the Leghorns and Hamburgs. though
small in size, grow rapidly and mature
early. It requires some time before a large
fowl attains its full size. The advantage of
the small breeds is, that they permit us to
make a “short cut” to the laying point,
though they may be deficient in weight.
So far as the cost is concerned, it has been
demonstrated that it requir s no more food
for a large fowl than a small one, compared
with the product. That is. we can produce
as many pounds of Leghorn meat as we
can of Cochin meat with the same propor
tion of food, but in laying qualities the
small breeds are superior, as they are usually
non-sitters and lay large eggs. Another
advantage with them is that, being small,
a larger number can be kept together, as
they require less room on the roost. Being
active, they do not become excessively fat
and if allowed to run at large they will
pick up a large proportion of then- food
during favorable seasons. Being usually
clean-legged, they are not as subject to
scabby legs as the Asiatics, and if kept
warm in winter they lay about as well dur
ing the cold seasons as in summer.
. Potash on Soil.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press
says clayey lands usually contain much
more of potash than do lighter soils, and
some may not respond so liberally to an
application of these salts, yet it is by no
means to be inferred that a clay loam never
lacks of this element of fertility. This can
only be ascertained by careful and repeated
trials. If one is to test his soil by an ap
plication of potash to see whether its effects
are such as to warrant its increased appli
cation, the plant selected should not be one
of the hoed crops, but rather a leguminous
or a cereal; and the trial should be made on
several parts of the farm. Most of the root
crops require a great deal of potash. At the
North they make Irish potatoes and beets
their standard. Our sweet potatoes require
about as much for best success as do our
Irish potatoes. Clover, and the leguminous
plants in general, require the presence of
potash in the soil in much larger quantities
than do the cereals, yet it is a mistake to
think that the cereals will not reward a
potash manuring, if lacking in the soil, as
much as any plant; and whatever is not
absorbed of such a manure remains for the
following crop, which may be more benefi
cial than a direct manuring.
The Jessica Grape.
Vick's Magazine says that the Jessica
outdoes in flavor any garden grape known
and it is a wonder that no more is said of it.
The little white grape with its small clus
ters is not over-attractive, but once between
one’s lips you will avow it has all the good
qualities a grape cau have in one. Sweet,
with a honeyed tench, at first taste, suc
ceeded by a freshness of mild acid and a
bouquet that lingers on the sense, it is a
gra;>e for connoisseurs to linger over and
praise.
Household.
Apple Compote.— Fare and quarter juicy
winter pippins. Put three-quarters of a
pound or white sugar to a pound of fruit
and cover with cold water. Stew slowly in
an uncovered granite ware or m&sliu pre
serving kettle for about half an hour or
until tho apples on top look done. Pour
into a glass dish and grate a little nutmeg
or cinnamon over them. Two or three
slices of lemon added while the fruit is hot
improves the flavor.
Okanok Short Cake.-- -Take ten or
twelve good juicy ornhges, not too largo,
peel them and put in a cool place. Make
the short cake in the usual way and roll out
into thin sheets; then bake in a quick oven
until done; now spread the orange slices
evenly over, covering all with sugar; put
more sliced oranges on top, with sugar over
all A good sauce to use with the short
cake is made of the juice of oranges and
lemons mixed, boiled in a pint of water and
seasoned with sugar and nutmeg.
A Sauce Made prom Oranges.—Cut
up one orange, peel and all, into thin slices.
Put the whole with the juice that conies
from it ami the juice frvm another orange
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1887.
into a stewpan with a good lump of sugar
as large as a hickory nut; let it simmer five
minutes. Then strain and drain off all the
syrup and throw away all the rest. Add
half a pint of strong, white broth made
from veal or chicken. Tho trimmings from
roasted foul or game makes a good stock for
this; but it must be free from fat and clear
without coloring, dimmer a few minutes
and add the juice of a fresh orange when
served.
Oyster Salad. —Drain the liquor from a
Quart of ovsters and cut them into dice.
Cut the white part of one bunch of celery
into pieces of similar size. Beat two eggs
light and add a teaspoonful of powdered
sugar, then whip in a great spoonful of
salad oil, until it is a light cream. Rub the
yelks of two hard-boiled eggs to a powder;
mix with them a small spoonful each of salt,
pepper and made mustard. Then beat these
with the whipped yelks and oil, and add half
a cupful of vinegar, two or three drops at a
time, and whip lightly for two or three
minutes. Mix the celery and oysters to
gether; pour half of the dressing over them;
toss up with a silver fork and pour the rest
over them. Decorate with the inner leaves
of the celery and set on ice till served, which
should be soon as possihle.
Farm and Stock Notes.
A Western dairyman has hit upon a very
simple plan of warming water for his stock
to drink in winter, says the Michigan Farm
er. He put an iron plate, say IS inches
square, on the bottom of his water tank,
cutting away the wood, of course, where
the iron was. Under this plate he used an
oil stove. He says 10c. worth of oil a day
would warm the water for 00 cows up to TO*
or more.
Mr. James Mackenzie, an Irish dairyman,
says: “Fromexperiments which I haveseen
carried out, from 20 to 24 per cent, increase
of butter has been gained by the centrifugal
over the gravity creaming, hut I am satis
fied this gain is hot at theexjienseof quality,
but to searching out more of the minute fat
globules, which in gravity creaming do not
riso and. if not forced out, are lost in the
skim milk.”
Any domestic animal understands and
appreciates kind treatment. It is no use to
say they are “only dumb brutes.” It is
true, they cannot talk but, like dumb or
blind men, their intelligence in other re
spects is doubled. You can make friends
of ail your if you take the trouble
to do so, and if you should ever feel lonely
you can banish this feeling by going among
your beasts.
A prize was offered some time ago by the
Royal Agricultural Society of England for
the best essay on the subject “Profitable
Farming for Bad Times-” One of the best
suggestions of the prize essay is that “every
farmer should grow his own feeding stuffs
upon his own farm. Commenting upon the
above, the Times says that “feeding stuffs”
include the necessary supplies for the farm
er’s family.
You will save your horse the pain of a
sore mouth if you will always dip the bit
in a bucket of cold water before putting it
in his mouth. This “takes the frost out” of
the bit. 'lf you want to know what would
happen if you did not do this, put your
tongue against the bit after it shall have
been hanging all night in a zero tempera
ture. You will not take it away as easily
as you will put it there, and when you shall
get loose you will leave a piece of skin be
hind. If the bit be put iu cold water first
this will not happen.
The Neu> England Farmer says: “Most
persons who set grape vines under reasona
bly favorable conditions have little trouble
in getting one crop of fruit. It is getting
good crops continually that requires skill
and a knowledge of the requisites to suc
cess. Few would let a hen lay all winter
and then set her upon all the eggs she had
laid, yet this would be scarcely more un
wise than to let a grape vine carry all the
fruit it might happen to set. Successful
grape growing requires a good deal of
pruning and thinning of the fruit.”
The manure of cattle contain 20.28 pdr
cent, of organic matter and alkaline salts
combined: that of horses, 21.64 percent.;
of hogs. 2o per cent.; of sheep, 31.29 per
cent. This high fertility value of sheep
manure is a very strong argument in favor
of sheep husbandry, but when it is consid
ered that sheep create this fertility largely
from weeds, brambles, brush, etc , the de
struction of which is so desirable to the
fanner, the importance and value of these
animals cannot be over-estimated, even if
they be as destitute of wool as is a door
knob.
It would hardly pay the farmer to engage
in the poultry business beyond the keeping
of two or three dozen fowls for family use,
unless there should be someone about the
place who would make it a special business
to look after the poultry and like to do it.
Sometimes the service of a good, steady
boy, who is a natural fancier, may be se
cured at a small cost, and all of his time
may be profitably employed in caring for
200 or 300 hens, or. if he be experienced,
probably 500 or 000. In embarking in the
business it ls not best to start out on too
large a scale.
It is wonderful how quickly a litter of
young pigs will round up and fill out on
new corn, the sow on full rations as well as
the pigs. We never get tired admiring
them in their mischievous pighood and
wish we could keep them looking so fine all
winter. But the plump fall pig is not the
winter pig, as experience goes.
i grass fails and cold winds strike in
on them, the smooth, sleek hair and skin
begin to lose their glossiness, and if there
is not a change of feed or an addition to it,
they will die before spring. Verdict—all
com diet; burned out in zero weather.
This is a fitting explanation for a majority
of pigs lost in winter.
Popular Science.
M. Germain Lee. in a recent communica
tion to tho French Academy of Sciences,
recommends the removal of pain by hvpo
dermic injections of autipyrin. The drug
does not produce vertigo nor somnolence.
A process for making a substitute for
leather from gutta percha and sulphur has
been brought out ill France. Ru w cotton
and oxide of antimony are well mixed with
these ingredients nnd the whole vulcanized
by steam. The artificial leather is said to
be useful for making tho solas and heels of
shoes.
Ho one knows the exact nature of elec
tricity. Its effects and the laws governing
its action are well understood, but what it
is is still a mystery. Probably it is a mode
of motion, liko Ugh}, and heat. The causes
which produce the electricity of thunder
storms and auroras are still a matter of
doubt.
A German authority recommends the
following simple method of protecting iron
from rust: The article is immersed in a
nearly saturated solution of chloride of till,
then washed in water, and afterward with
weak ammonia. The tin solution must not
be too strong or it will attack the iron.
The treated metal appears like frosted sil
ver.
The Electrical Review says that the use
lessness of the lightning rod is becoming so
generally understood that the agents find
their vocation a trying one. Fewer and
fewer rods are manufactured each year,
and “tho day will come'when a lightning
rod on a house will be regarded in the
same light as a horseshoe over a man7
door.”
The recent tearing down of a New Hamp
shire manufactory by means of dynamite
demonstrates anew use for the explosive.
The concussion completely separated the
bricks and did not seem to Injure them in
the least. The charges were put in holes
dug in the foundation under the brick walls
and the number of cartridges was graded
according to the number of bricks in the
wall to tie demolished.
It has been proposed to utilize bicycles as
ambulances, by removing the trailing
wheels from two machines and connecting
them at that point by a polo fixed to the
curved liars which earned the trailing
wheels. This keeps the two remaining
wheels apart and unites them into one ve
hicle. A hammock is then dung from the
seats of the bicycles by means of proper I
cross-pieces with hooks: a bamboo is also 1
fastened longitudinally above the seals and |
straps are employed to make al 1 secure.
Paving blocks called iron brick are now
being introduced by Louis Joclium, of Ott
weiler, near Saurbrucken, Germany. This
brick is made by mixing equal parts of
finely ground red argillaceous slate and
finely ground clay and lidding 5 per cent,
of iron ore. This mixture is moistened with
a solution of 25 per cent, sulphate of iron,
to which fine iron ore is added until it
shows a consistency of 38* Bauine. It is
then formed in a press, dried, dipped once
more in a nearly concentrated solution of
sulphate of iron and finely ground iron ore.
and is baked in an oven for 48 hours in an
oxidizing flame and 24 hours in a reducing
(lame. The German government testing
laboratory for building materials has re
ported favorably on this brick.
PAPERS AND PENMANSHIP.
Only a Few People Write a Good
Hand.
New York, Dec. 10.—The question is
often asked in the daily papers by people
evidently in quest of the exact and
proper way of <}oing even little things.
“Which side of a sheet of pnpen should one
write on after the first page;” Tho lately
accepted method has been to write first upon
the first page and then the last, then the
second and third. Of course the reason for
this (for, after all, there is a reason for
evervthmg if we stop to look lor it) is that
by the last page following the first, people
are prevented from writing on two sheets of
paper, for it often happens that in turning a
page two will accidentally be turned, and
how many of us have found, toourdisinay,
that wo must rewrite a page or otherwise
send several half sh :ets of paper. The great
objection to writing on the last page is that
the contents of the letter may easily be read
through the envelope.
A few years ago it was actually the style to
write on thin cross barred paper, each way
of the page, consequently a sheet of paper
of four i 'ages really did duty for eight.
Not only was this in poor taste, but more,
it was downright selfish to ask our friends
to decipher hieroglyphics, as the penmanship
of everybody became under such a process.
I received a letter from one friend that it
took the united effort of the whole family
to read, and it was some days bofore wo had
learned all its contents.
The extreme of anything is bad form. So
of the exaggerated style of English penman
ship; it is sometimes a,most an in tilt to send
such chirography to a very busy person, be
cause it is next to impoosmie to decipher it.
The writing might as well be Chinese char
acters, as, indeed, some of it looks. One
should not cultivate what is called by that
hackneyed name of “style” at the expense
of legibility. The first duty in writing to
any one is that the contents shall consume
as little cf the receiver’s time as possible.
For this reason a plain round hand is de
cidedly the best of course; the next thing is
to be concise.
It is astonishing how few of the writers
for the press write a good plain hand, which
is easily read. Often it happens that the
cleverest authors will write tiie worst hand.
The reason no doubt is that their thoughts
fly faster than their hand can wield the
pen. I have seen some writing that must
make the printers say more big words than
the writer ever dreamed of and the printer
wouldn’t be blamed.
Of course every one who writes for pub
lication knows tnat only one side of the
paper should be written upon. All things
considered, this is a good rulo for any one to
toiiow. In writing a note or letter then
write on the first page, then on the third,
and if there is still more to lie written re
turn to the second page, writing’ lengthwise
of the paper. It is Letter, however, in all
cases to use the second and fourth page of a
letter sheet.
Our forefathers were particularly neglect
ful in this. A friend who owns a large col
lection of autograph letters of revolution
ary heroes, in showing them bemoaned the
fact that both sides of the paper were writ
ten upon, as it prevented tho letters
being glued upon the page of a scrap book.
Valuable letters were almost in shreds
because there was no suitable way of secur
ing them.
All who are the least likely to become fa
mous should boar this in mind, even in their
simplest notes to write on but one side of
the paper. It is said most women have
made their literary reputation all after 30.
So it stands ad in band to look to their early
efforts, particularly, that they may be so
written as not to interfere with their preser
vation —some time perhaps.

" Snßerlatipely Perfect! ”
Messrs. Chickening iff Sons:
Gentlemen— After many years’ experi
ence as a pianist in this country and
Europe, and after having used the instru
ments of the leading makers here and
abroad, it is with pleasure that I give to
you my matured opinion upon your piar.oe.
In them I find the purest, truest and most
musical lone, together with an action
which will answer my demands equally in
the most piannissimo playing and in the
heaviest forte effects, and combining these
qualities with an almost endless resonance.
I can find for them no more fitting praise
than that of the Great Maestro, Franz Liszt,
who declares them “Superlatively Perfect.”
(Signed) Julie Rive-King.

it’s the BEST all the same.
