TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
- Th® Chos of Straw.
The value of straw is too ..... little taken . ,
into account either ou ,°L tlle

many farmers seem to act on the principle
thit it should be fed to cattle. This is
the least important of its uses. Its valuo
as food is so slight that cattle fed ex
elusively on *traw would die about as
soon as when fed on any such substanco
as dead leaves, for instance, the only use
of which is to properly distend the
stomach. The feeding uso of straw,
therefore, is only in connection with
concentrated food.
But there are other uses of tho straw
of cereal grains which render it an im
portant of these integer is in farm economy. One
the covering of sheds. An
other use to which it m;iy be profitably
put, when cold and winds are severe, is
in forming an impervious barrier by fill
ing a space a foot wide between two
rough walls of sheds. These walls may
be made of any rough material, as slabs,
polos, but near enough together to pre
vent, the pulling out of straw by the
unimals. Thus sheds and stables may
bo rendered as warm as much more cost
ly The structures.
uso of straw is too much ignored
as a means of comfort med as bedding
for animals. Under sheds it should be
laid a foot thick, and in the yards not
less thau six inches. In stables that are
regularly than inches cleaned in it thickness. should not be less
six Thus it
will fully soak up and hold the liquids
and retain them while spread on tho
land to bo plowed under. It takes no
more material as bedding six inches in
thickness than less, for only the soiled
portions need bo removed. The added
valuo to tho animals in con-crving
wurmfli is not generally estimated.
It not only keeps animals comfortable,
but ns manure straw is valuable princi
pally it has in proportion to tho liquid manure
soaked up. It will pay to use lib
ernlly tioned, in tho directions we have men
and less so as a food in winter
than is generally practiced.

Without doubt the greatest and most

kcc eping do poor horses unable at any timo
to a full day’s work. It is the most
difficult thing possible for many farmers
to get tho idea into their heads that a
horse capable of doing but little is value¬
less. An old, w >ru out horse will always
sell for something, no matter how poor
he may be, and always for a greater price
in proportion to his value when most
worthless. For farm purposes, with tho
dear wages now paid to farm help, it
does not require much reduction day from a

Supposing the rate of a bird’s flight tc
be taken at forty, fifty or sixty miles an
hour, the sportsman has only to remem
ber that a mile an hour is almost exactly
equivalent to one and a half feet per sec
ond, nnd ho thus has a ready means of
comparison with the tables of velocity,
j The»e show, for example, (thirds that with nnd an
! ordinary one-eighth sporting ounces) charge the velocity one
! and mean
of No. 5 or No. G shot, in a range of
thirty-five yards, about 900 feet a sec¬
ond, or at the rate of H 00 miles an hour;
and so, on comparing this GOO miics with
the speed of the bird’s flight, it will be
founa that the shot moves ten times ns
fast as a bird going sixty miles an hour;
twelve times as fast as one that flics fifty
miles an hour, and fifteen times as fast
as ono which goes forty miles an hour.
Consequently they would fly about two
and a quarter yards, three yards and
three and a half yards respectively, while
the shot is traveling thirty-five yards at
the rate given above .—Hew York Herald.

was waited u jwn by H.^O. Hart, one of

picking quantity out of change to par 'he his bill from
a money that had scat¬
tered on the top of a show case, Mr.
Hart remarked:
“I see that you have one or two large
warts, Brother Akehurst.”
“Yes, I hare had them since child¬
hood.”
“Why don’t you get rid of them?”
was the next remark.
“How can that be done?” asked Mr.
Akehurst.
“Easily enough,” said Mr. Hart.
“Bun up the stairs to Joe Monroe, the
order clerk, in the third story, and he
will take them off.”
“Take them off 1 ” said 3Ir. Akehurst,
in astonishment
“Cer.ainly; you go up and I’ll tell
him through the speaking tube that you
are coming,” said Mr. Hart.
Mr. Akehurst went up into the third
story. “Good morning, Dr. Monroe,”
said he to the druggist. “Mr. Hart
sent me up to have my warts taken
off.”
“All right,” said Dr. Joe. “I’ll do
it.”
He took hold of Mr. Akehurst’s hand,
looked at a large seed wart, put his
fingers on it, looked Mr. Akehurst iu
tho face, and, as the latter remarked
afterward, laughed “we talked and laughed and
and talked like a couple of
youngsters for a few minutes.” Then
Dr. Monroe dropped Mr. Akehurst’s
hand and said:
“That wart won’t bother you much
longer.”
No fee was charged, and, aftdr thank¬
ing Mr. Monroe, Mr. Akehurst left the
store, and in the rush of the holiday
trade he forgot the incident that had
amused him for n day. One evening,
xvithin a week, he looked at the hand
where tho wart had been located and
found that it had wholly disappeared
and the second one had decreased in size
materially. Observer A representative of the
saw the mark on the spot where
the wart was located. It looked like a
scar Mr. resulting from a light burn.
Monroe was interviewed, and on
being asked how he operated, he smiled
and said: “Ther^ is no operation about
it; I felt of the wart and talked it off,
as I have done probably 500 times a
year for several years. 1 claim no pe
culiar gift in this matter, and suppose
that you have the same power that I
have, if ycu would only develop it. I
have a great deal of amusement in
studying the faces of my patients, who
express alternate feelings of douot,

what only a quarter of a century ago indicates
a short way in time we arq. removed
from the use of crude, ancient devices.
It is only within half a century that the
admirable mechanical methods of Ameri¬
can clock-makers have brought the p rice
of time pieces so low that it would not
pay to go round offering to make noon
marks. The noon mark was an humble
brother of the sun dial, which was a
crude method of indicating time com¬
pared to the cheapest modern time piece;
yet the dial was considered a great in¬
vention in its day, and the Babylonians
were honored for originating such a boon
to mankind. The sun dial might have
still remained the leading rural time in¬
dicator but for the persistence of Con¬
necticut clock-makers in underselling the
world. When they succeeded, by the in¬
terchangeable stamping process of manu¬ efibek
facture, in finishing serviceable
works for twenty-five cents each, the oc¬
cupation that gave Jay Gould his finan¬
cial start was gone forever.
