FARM NOTES.
Oatmeal for Horsics. —One of the
best things in the world to give a horse,
after he has l>een driven, is a quart of
oatmeal stirred in a pail of water. It
refreshes and strengthens him, relieves
his immediate thirst, and preparas his
stomach for more solid food. So says
Joseph Harris, after twenty years’ trial
of it.
Mb. Hyde remarks in the New York
Times , that if one wishes to cultivate
Ins farm like a market garden, it may
pay to plow in the coarse manure and
harrow in the fine, but as a rule he would
recommend the application of the ma
nure to the surface of the soil. This is
nature’s method, and is the most suc
cessful for common practice.
Crowding Fowls. —Poultry require
plenty of house room, for crow ding them
on their roosts, or having illy built, di
lapidated or damp houses is conducive to
disease. If, on account of breeding more
than one variety, because you have lim
ited ground, or because you have fruits
and vegetables you wish to keep the
birds from, you have to keep the fowls
in restricted quarters, by all means give
them all the exercise room you possibly
can, and tliero is far more danger of
giving them too little than too much.
Mr. J. 8. Woodward discourses in a
late New York Tribune upon the care of
stock during winter. He thinks that
any man who lets his cattle stand shiver
ing in the lee of a straw-stack, or old
fence, or under an open shed, should be
tied in the same place and be compelled
to stay one night with the thermometer
at zero and the snow flying thick and
fast about him; if this does not convince
him of the necessity of good warm
stables, he is not fit to bo called by the
noble name of farmer, and the quicker
he gets out of the business the better for
it and himself.
The Difference. —From actual ex
periments made, it is demonstrated be
yond a doubt, that the grinding of grain
adds one-tliird to its value for feeding
purposes. This is a matter of a good
deal of importance to the agricultural
community, and in fact to all classes who
liavo animals to feed. As far as dollars
are concerned, perhaps it is not of so
much moment in the Northwest, where
grain is so cheap and so plenty, as it is
iu other portions of the country, where
loss grain is raised, but it is worthy of
the consideration of those who have not
full bins of oats and corn. Since the in
troduction of cheap feed-mills, it is the
province of every farmer to own one,
with which all grain intended for the
stock on the farm could be ground.
Measuring Corn. —A number of rules
for measuring corn have been published.
Asa multiplicity of rules tend to con
fuse, the question arises, why can we not
have one good rule ? The reason is ob
vious. New corn will not measure as
many bushels to the foot or inches as
old corn, on account of shrinkage. A
crib of corn measured in the fall will not
yield as many bushels to the cubic foot
as when measured in the spring or sum
mer. Corn in wagon, when first put in,
will not measure as much to the foot as
when hauled several miles. Hence the
necessity of working by different rules
under different circumstances. All rules
are based upon the number of cubic
inches in a bushel of shelled corn, which
is 2150.4. If all corn shelled out the
same, under all circumstances, it would
1)0 very easy to have one rule. As near
right ns any rule I have tried is twelve
cubic feet to the barrel for corn in crib
in the fall of the year, eleven and a half
feet in spring time, and about eleven feet
in summer; twelve feet as thrown in
wagon in the field and eleven and a
quarter hauled four or five miles.
Small Farms. —The French people
have more ready cash in individual pos
session than any other nation in the
world. It is not the wealth of a nation
that makes the people rich, but the gen
eral diffusion of wealth. This is the
case in France. The French are a na
tion of small farmers. There are more
land-owners in that country than in
America. The farms are small; the
majority are under twenty acres, and a
very large number under ten. It may
not be that is the only reason for the
money wealth of these people; they are
notably economical and thrifty. But the
small farms have something to do with
it. The farmers in some of the eastern
counties of Pennsylvania, where the
farms are comparatively small, could
well compete with the Prencli in their
possession of money wealth. Almost
every farmer has his hoard invested.
These men have a habit of feeding a few
head of beef cattle or a flock of sheep
every winter. They sell little grain but
wheat, and feed their fodder and coarse
grain to purchased stock. They make
more profit to the head of stock than is
made upon large grazing farms, and
their land is rich and high-priced, be
cause of the large quantity of manure
that is made iu feeding stock. The con
sumption of meat is continually increas
ing, and with the extension of manufac
tures there are more mouths to till every
year, so that it is not probable the sup
ply can ever become excessive.
Some Items in Farm Economy. —The
arrangements of the buildings and the
division of the farm into fields depends
so much upon the character of the farm,
the kind of farming, individual taste, etc.,
that it is out of the question to have a
fixed plan that is the best one for all
farms of any given size. There are cer
tain general principles which should
serve as a foundation for the arrange
ment, bnt the details must necessarily
vary greatly. For example, if possible
the bams should be upon a rise of
ground where a cellar can be built open
ing to the lower ground at the rear. The
fields should be so arranged that there
should be as little fencing as possible.
and so located that all fields can be easily
reached from the lane. A long field has
considerable advantage over one of the
same area that is square—iu the longer
“bouts,” and therefore less time spent in
turning, plowing, harrowing, sowing,
harvesting, etc. A pasture close to the
stable is always handy, and other things
being, equal, the orchard should not l>e
put at the rear of the farm, where the
wood lot had best be located There is
touch labor to be saved in having every
thing so placed—and this applies to the
various details that seem trivial at first
that there will be no extra steps
or turns in doing tho every-day work of
the farm. For example, many day’s
work can be saved by haring the pump
in a handy comer of the barn-yarn,
where the stock from a number of yards
may come to the troughs. If the mat
ters of the farm are not already econom
ically arranged, it would lie well to make
such changes of fences, buildings, etc.,
as to finally secure the desired end. By
degrees the thoughtful farmer will im
prove his farm until it approximates to o
model and therefore an economical farm.
HOUSEKEEPERS’ HELPS.
Every closet and room in a house
should be thoroughly inspected once a
week.
Newly ground flour which lias nevei
been packed is very superior to barrel
flour.
In roasting meat do not salt before
putting in the oven as salt extracts the
juice. 3
In warm weather put your eggs in
cold water some time before you are
ready to use them.
Demons may be kept fresh a long time
in a jar of water; changing the water
every morning.
A true test for eggs is to drop them in
water, and if the large end comes up they
are not fresh.
Hams wrapped in thick brown paper
and packed in a barrel of wood ashes in
the cellar will keep all summer.
To test nutmegs prick them with a
pin, and if they are good the oil will in
stantly spread around the punctures.
Bar soap when first bought should be
cut in square pieces and put in a dry
place. It lasts better after shrinking.
All fish skin should be washed, dried
thoroughly, cut in small bits and put in
a box or paper bag, to use in settling
coffee.
New Orleans or other good brown
sugar is best for raised fruits and wed
ding cakes. It should be coarse-grained
and clean.
Always prepare Sunday’s dinner on
Saturday if possible, that domestics may
enjoy the Sabbath day privileges as well
as you.
The small white sago called pearl is
the best. The large brown kind has an
earthy taste. It should always be kept
in a covered jar or box.
Salt cod should be kept in a dry
place where the odor of it will not pene
trate to other parts of the house. The
best kind is that which is called dun,
from its peculiar color.
Molasses Cup Cake. —Two cups mo
lasses, two cups butter, one cup milk, a
teaspoonful soda, the same of lemon,
half a nutmeg and tAvo eggs; beat well
and bake in quick oveu.
Elephant on Toast. —Take cold meat
and put on the fire in a stewpan with a
little water. When tender, take it up
and mince very fine; then put it back
and flavor with pepper and salt. Make
some toast, butter each slice, and spread:
the mince over each piece; then pour the
gravy over it. Serve hot.
Oilcloth. —Mrs. Henry Ward Beech
er, in giving some of the results of her
housekeeping experience, remarks that
neither soap, hot water nor brush should,
ever be used on oilcloth. It should al-j
ways be washed in lukewarm water with!
a piece of soft old flannel and wiped per
fectly dry each time. And the appear
ance of the cloth, Mrs. Beecher declares,
is greatly improved by using half milk
and half water, [skimmilk, if not sour,!
being just as good as new milk.
Cooking Beets. —One of the mostj
satisfactory ways to cook beets is to bake
them. When boiled, even if their jack- 1
ets are left on, a great deal of the best
part of the beets is dissolved, and so lost.!
It will, of course, take a little longer to!
bake than to boil them; but this is no;
objection. Allow from fifteen to teventy
minutes more for baking; slice them,;
and heat as you would if they Avere!
boiled. After they are cooked, season
with pepper, salt, butter, and a squeeze
of lemou.

BITS OF INFORMATION.
The first census of the United States
was taken in 1790. The population was
3,929,328.
Mezzo-tinto engraving was invented
by the celebrated soldier and Admiral,
Prince Rupert, in 1650.
Chaucer was a courtier and diplo
matist as well as a poet. He was sent

his King’s representative.
The Egyptian obelisk, now in New
York city, was originally set up in Heli
opolis. Herodotus speaks of two obe
lisks (one of which is the New York
one) at Alexandria, and Rawlinson fixes
the date of tlieir removal from Heliopo
lis at 1463 B. C. According to that,
their age is 3,043 years. The companion
obelisk is in London, England.
What is knoivn as cut glass is glass
with incisions and ornaments with
smooth surfaces, appearing as if cut
by a sharp instrument. The cutting of
the glass consists entirely in grinding
away successive portions by holding
them upon the surface of wheels of
stone, metal, and wood, which are made
to revolve rapidly. The first or rough
cutting is sometimes given by wheels of
stone, resembling grindstones. After-
Avard wheels of iron are used, having
their edges covered with sharp sand or
with emery. To prevent heat by fric
ti< n small streams of water are applied.
The last polish is given by brush.

In case of a gentleman wishing to
marry, literally in the market with his
heart, he wears a plain or chased gold
ring upon the forefinger of the left
(or heart) hand. When success at
tends his suit and he is actu
ally engaged, the ring passes to the
third linger. If, however, the gentle
man desires to tell the fair ones that he
not only is not “ in the market,” but he
does not design to marry at all, he wears
the signet upon his little finger, and all
ladies may understand that he is out of
tlieir reach. With the fair sex the “ laws
of the ring” are : A plain or chased ring
on little linger of the right hand indi
cates “ not engaged,” or, in plain words,
“ ready for proposals, sealed or other-
Aviso.”" When engaged the ring passes
to the first finger of the left hand.
When married the third finger receives
it. If the fair one proposes to defy all
siege to her heart she places rings -on
her first and fourth fingers—one on each
—like two charms, to keep away the
tempter. It is somewhat singular that
this disposition of rings is rare.
Answer This.

Book Stealing.
Aristotle, observes the Saturday Re
view, drew a distinction between the
man who steals books to sell them again
for mere pecuniary profit (which he
would call “clirematistic,” or “unnatu
ral,” book stealing) and the man who
steals them because he feels that he is
their natural and proper possessor. The
same distinction is taken by Jules Ja
niu, who was a more constant student of
Horace than of Aristotle. In liis imagi
nary dialogue of bibliophiles Janin intro
duces a character who announces the
death of M. Libia. The tolerant person
who brings the sad news proposes “to
cast a few flowers on the melancholy
tomb. He was bibliophile, after all.
What do you think of it? Many a good
fellow' lias stolen books and died in grace
after all.” “Yes,” replied the President
of the club, “but the good fellow's did
not settle for the books they stole.”
Some persons are so thriftless they
would convert a garden into a desert,

A Big Find.
Ezelot, a French soldier, was walking
through the Paris railway station w itb
two comrades, when they noticed on the
floor a packet wrapped in a newspaper.
They kicked it along before them for
some distance, and when Ezelot was get
ting into the train, going home on short
leave, one of his comrades, picking up
the packet, thrust it into the canvas for
age bag slung at his side, Ezelot going
on his way without having perceived the
little pleasantry.
Arrived at Neuilly, where his parents
lived, his mother, emptying the forage
bag, discovered the bundle, and, think
ing it was a packet of newspapers, put it
on a table in the kitchen. There it re
mained for four or five days, till a mar
ried sister, calling in and seeing the
packet, was moved by unwonted curios
ity. Opening it she discovered docu
ments representing the £26,000, the loss
of which M. Pages a rich man of Paris,
had advertised throughout Europe. The
European papers are not, however, read
at Neuilly. The soldier and his parents,
not knowing what else to do, followed
the provincial Frenchman’s instinct and
had recourse to the maire. That func
tionary, communicating with Paris,
speedily brought down M. Pages, who,
gratefully paying the promised reward of
£I,OOO, wmt off with his oddly recovered
treasure.
Thread from Wood.
The manufacture of thread from wood
for crochet and sewing purposes has, it
is said, been started in Sweden. The
manufacture has arrived at such a state
of perfection that it can produce, at a
much lower price, thread of as fine
quality as Clark’s, and has from this cir
cumstance been called thread “ ala
Clark. ” It is wound in balls by ma
chinery, either by hand or steam, which,
with the labeling, takes one minute twelve
seconds, and the balls are packed up in
cardboard boxes, generally ten in a box.
Plenty of orders from all parts of Sweden
have come in, but as the works are not
yet in proper order there has hardly
been time to complete them all. The
pi oduction gives fair promise of success,
and it is expected to be very important
for home consumption. Scientific
American.
Mexican Palis.
The Mexicans are notoriously fond of
dancing, and will neglect almost any
thing else to attend a baile or ball.
Many American dances have been intro
duced, but the amusement, instead of
being indulged in in a wild and unre
strained manner, is conducted with
great decorum. The ladies all sit on one
side of the ball-room and the gentlemen
on the other, and when the music be
gins the young men walk out into the
middle of the floor and beckon with
their fingers to the young ladies whom
they desire for partners. At the close
of the dance the ladies return to their
side of the room and the gentlemen to
their own. The waltz of modern society
and other fashionable dances in the
East would be considered immodest in
a Santa Fe baile, and would not be
tolerated.

Dear Sir— fifteen years ago last fall I was taken sick

these attacks were quite , often. I suffered everything
that a man could. Over three years ago last spring I
commenced taking Vegetine and followed it up until I
had taken seven bottles; have had no rheumatism since
that time. I always advise every one that is troubled

“Yes, sah,” replied the darky;
“ dar’s de ole bam, and Mas r Wales has

“Where do you usually put the

“Well, sah, if dey’s Methodiss or
