Corn-and-Cob Meal. v
Waldo F. Brown, tho well-known
'Ohio farmer and agricultural writer,
has proclaimed himself a convert to the
value of corn-and-cob meal. From
actual experience ho says he is prepared
to believe that the 12 or 14 pounds of
cob, whon ground fine, are worth as
much as the same number of pounds of
corn. Mr. Brown has so far experi
mented only with this meal for cattle,
but intonds to try it on horses and
•wine.—[Now York World.
Admirable Qualities of Bran.
Bran is one of the most profitable as
well as wholesome foods for all kinds
of stock. It contains 15 per cent, of
nitrogenous matter and 8J- per cent, of
fat with about 52 per cent, of carbon
aceous substancos. Ilcnce, for foediag
young animats and milking cows, it is
ono of tho very best of foods. It is
above the normal standard of tho nu
tritive ration, having 1 of nitrogenous
substance to 4 of carbonaceous, against
tho normal ratio of 1 to 5$. Hence it
■is of all tho more value for making
manure rich in nitrogen and is conse-
• quently a most desirable food when
stock is kept for tho improvement of
and. A t tho ordinary value of the food
elements it is worth $1.10 per 100
pounds for feeding, and when it can be
bought at that price is as ggiod a pur*
. chase as if one procured $1.25 for a dol
lar; that is, the purchaser may make 25
per cent, profit on every dollar expen
ded. For feeding store pigs, calves and
■ colts it is tho cheapest food that can bo
purchased. And tho purchase of food'
is an indispensable part of profitable
business.—[New York Times.
Stable Floors.
A groat doal has been written about
■clay, stone, concroto and brick as mate
rials for tho floors of stalls and looso
boxes. Tho theory is thnt earth is soft
and moist for the horse’s foot and that
next to tho original soil other
cool moist material is desirable. In
practice a stall or box with no other
floor than clay soon bccomos an offen
sive quagmire; a stone floor is cold and
hard, concrete is soon broken up by tho
coutimial stamping of tho iron-shod
feet, and bricks absorb offensive fluids
to a groater extant than wood. A floor
of good sound spruce or pino planks,
thoroughly soaked through with crudo
’'pfetroleum,' will resist dampness and
decay for a long timo and, keep clean
and wholosome. In a stall a double
floor is laid, ths lower course trans
versely of the stalls, and tho upper ono
lengthwise and extending back only as
far as the stall itself. Thore should be
a very slight slope to tho roar for drain
age. It is a serious mistako to make
the slope too steep, as it compsls the
horse to stand in an unnatural position
with a constant strain upon the rear
tendons of the legs.—[American Agri
culturist.
Humanity to Horses.
Without a check rein horses are con
stantly nibbling at tall weeds or any
thing they can reach before the plough,
or if standing they will put their heads
to the ground, getting the lines under
their foet or back over tho traces. The
check should, however, be loose enough
so as not to interfere with pulling or
free action, and so tight that they can
not drop their heads low enough to eat
anything. I hava seen horses before
the plough with heads drawn up tight
to mako them even. This is down
right cruelty; besides the flies have
pretty much their own way with them,
there ought to be societies in the coun
try, as well, as in the cities, to prevent
cruelty to animals. I havo not* a word
to say in favor of the ovorchock; this is
in a lot. Feed regularly and liberally
a varioty of wholesome food, always
some bulky food, and let each food be
eaten up clean bofore more is given.
Give wallowing places, ashes, charcoal
and salt, and plenty of exercise in tim
ber pastures, yielding shade, roots and
nuts, acorns, otc., but no doubly soured
slops. Provide vsntilatod shutters
from wind, rain and snow, but no litter.
Hogs with littor get too warm. If you
wish disoase, put your hogs to the
straw pile. Maintain cloanliaoss in all
thingB. Breed only mature animals,
and never from a show herd. The off
spring of immaturo or pampered ani
mals is predisposed to disoase. Give
pure water from deep wolls protected
from surfaco water. Well water is not
freezing cold in winter nor lukewarm
in summer. Water from crooks (unloss
fed by springs), ponds or pools is dis
ease breoding. Pigs should bo for
warded in early spring and kept on
only growing foods—mUlc, bran slop,
fpats, green rye, grasses, clover, sweot
corn—until late fall; then fatten rapid
ly on corn mostly, but also green rye,
blue grass, pumpkins, boiled potatoes
and turnips, with bran, steamod clovsr,
hay, etc.—[Boston Cultivator.
Warfare Against Fence Jumpers.
A farmer who has had troublo with
“jumping fences,” as ho terms it, sayj
lie stoppod it by nailing a horseshoe on
each front foot of tho cow or steer.
But he should havo been more explicit.
Jumping fences are a great nuisanco on
a farm, and it seems to me that a well-
set post and rail fenco won't jump very
high. Whon the earthquake happened
about two years ago all of my fences
running east and west jumped so as to
throw the corners all away and leave
most of the top rails on tho tops of tho
stakes, and many were thrown off.
But this was not an ordinary kind of
jumping fenco. Those who aro troub-
led with tho common kind might try
the horseshoe plan.
W hat is tho bost fonc;? I havo long
sought to find this out and havo tried
the old -fashioned worm fence, staked,
double-staked and ridcred; the post
and board fenco, and the post and rail
■ ecco, with morticed posts and rails
fiitteaed and pointed at tho end. I
havo some miles of fenco on my farm
and have oonstant troublo with ths
fences, all but about half a mile of solid
post and rail fence, mado of chestnut
posts and fivo rails to each panel. Tho
rails aro 10 feot long. This fence
stands firmly: tho heaviest wiads do
not move it; no cattle or horses try to
jump it, it being five feot high; and
from former experience, dating back 30
years, I know such a fence will last as
long as thi9, if properly mado. It is
cheap. The posts aro split sapling3
about 10 years old and eight inches
on tho split face. The holes aro
bored with a boring machine and 2-inch
augur, two holes being mado fivo inch
es apart from outer odges and the wood
betwoen them is cut out with a post
axe having a blado two inches wide.
Two men will ho'o 100 posts a day and
will set up tho 100 panels of fenco in
three days, c.ostiug thus seven cents a
panel for sotting the fence. And whon
it is set it is sot for years without need
for repiir or almost daily watching and
putting up as with the common rail
fence.
Tho bost thing to do with jumping
and broachy animals is to hnvo good
fences, so that when they aro young
the animals will not learn to jump or
throw down tho fences. Bad fences
make broachy and unruly stock. —[New

A Scratch Call.
The people of Ashley, a suburb of
Wilkesbarre, Pa., had a little social sen
sation. Fifteen years ago John Lamb, a
master mechanic, in the employ of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad, marriod Miss
Mary Crogan, daughter of Railroad Su
perintendent Crogan. The nuptial event
was the talk of the town at tho time. A
special train from Philadelphia brought
many invited guests. Mr. Lamb ac
cepted a position under one of the rail
road companies with headquarters at St.
Louis, but he did not remain long. Af
ter being married only six months, an
estrangement sprang up between tlio
young married couple, and the wife re
turned to her homo in Ashley. Lamb
left St. Louis nnd wandered through the
Western territory. Ilia wife heard
nothing definite nbout him until about
two years after they were married, when
her brother-in-law sent her a clipping
from a Western paper giving an uccount
of the drowning of her husband. John
Adams, however, who lias a big miuing
store, proposed marriage. Mrs. Lamb
consulted her immediate relations, and,
having no doubt but that her husband
was dead, consented. All arrangements
had been made, and the wedding trous
seau was delivered to the prospective
bride’s home. The lady was in the act
of examining her dresses with the aid of
the dressmaker, when a knock came to
the door. It was opened and there stood
the long lost husband. Man and wife
had a long interview, and as a result, re
conciliation followed. Adams was re
luctant to give up his betrothed, and a
minister had to be called to make an
amicable arrangement.
A Swindler Betrayed by His Parrot.
Detectives obtain their hints and clues

■Kthe Paris correspondent of the London
Telegraph remarks) that they receive
them through the instrumentality of
parrots; yet this is just what has hap
pened during the researches of M.
Goron, the head of the Paris Criminal
Department. This officer has been lately
looking for the chief aoeountnnt of the
“Cafusse Band,” a fellow named Victor
Chevalier, nnd, going the other day into
tho rooms of a notorious receiver of
stolen goods in Paris, he heard himself
addressed in harsh tones as “Good old
Victor ! there you are 1” This was enough
for the detective, who having silently
satisfied himself that the loquacious
bird was the property of tho man for
whom he was looking, proceeded to
search tho receiver’s den for indications
of a more substantial character. After a
long and minute investigation of the
premises, he found a letter from Victor
to the receiver, in which epistle the
robber announced that ho was in Angers
under the name of Felix Crozer. M.
Goron immediately set out for that town
and arrested the owner of the too valu
able parrot in the railway station.
