THE WIDOW TAX.
IteeommaaCed For Cattle by Expert
French Agrrleultcrlsis.
Many agriculturists in Europe have
long been convinced that molasses is
an admirable food lor horses and eai>
tie, and their conviction is now stron
ger than ever, owing to certain experi
ments which have been recently tried
and which have proved eminently suc
cessful.
The Frc-ncii government has publicly
notified agriculturists that it will do ail
in its power to aid them in populariz
ing the new food.
The most notable experiments with
molasses have been made by M. Dc-
crombeeque, a chemist, and M. Manxxe-
cliez, a veterinary surgeon at Arras.
They assert that chopped hay cr grass
mixed with molasses is an excellent
cure for asthma and, furthermore, that
food of ibis kind neither loads the
stomach nor impedes respiration. They
also think it likely that (Suing diges
tion the sugar in the food produces al
cohol. and they say that, if so, the nxx-
imaTs health is bound to be benefited
thereby.
Two other experts, MM. Dickson and
Maine?, ux, have also made experiments
in regard to the effect cf molasses cn
the general health, weight and milk cf
animals, and they have arrived at the
following conclusions:
First, that ordinary food mixed
with molasses quickly increases the
weight of sheep, pigs and cows; sec
ond, that animals which are fed in
this way give more and richer milk
than they did before; third, that mo
lasses is an excellent food for horses,
since thej - quickly acquire a liking fex
it and apparently do not lose any cf
their strength, the only noticeable
change being a slight tendency to stout
ness, and, fourth, that molasses can ef
fectively be used with food of an in
ferior quality, since the animals will
then readily eat it, whereas they would
not care for it in its natural condition.
M. Albert Yiicoq, a French professor
of agriculture, says that the French
government is acting very wisely in en
couraging farmers to use molasses, but
he points out that care should be taken
not to give auimals too much of it, as,
owing to its heating qualities, it may
produce a deleterious effect if given too
often or too abundantly.—New York

Keeping’ Vegetables.
Vegetables should never be put into
the cellar, as many of them contain
acids which will absorb the poison of
the ground air, and if eaten will prove
very unhea!th3', and if allowed to re
main will rapidly decompose and fill
the air which arises to the upper rooms
with a poison that will undoubtedly
cause much mischief. Potatoes should
not be exposed to the sun, but kept in
some dry place where the light and air
can always strike them.
We will offer to the Public the bestpnes of
Parasites of the Tiger.
In speaking of the minute parasites
which are found in the hairy paid of a
tiger’s foot a scientist says: “They con
stitute one of the most wonderful cu
riosities I know of in the animal world.
The parasites ax-e so small as to be al
most invisible to the naked eye, and
yet each is a perfect counterpart of the
tiger—head, ears, jaw, legs, claws,
body, tail, all are there.

A Liquid Glue.
An excellent liquid glue that is very
tenacious aud almost dampproof can
be made by dissolving glue in nitric
ether and adding a few pieces of caout
chouc. The solution must be allowed
to stand a few days and frequently
stirred. As the ether will onty dissolve
a certain amount of glue there is no
danger of getting it too thick.
In Slindsnao a Wife's Death Coals
the Widower One Hundred Plates.
Becoming a widow or a widower is a
much moi-e serious business than get
ting married among some of the tribes
in the Philippines. In Mindanao “mar
rying in haste” often leads to a pro
longed “repenting at leisure,” for they
have an institution there known as 'he
“widow tax”—“chabaloan” the natives
call it. Upon the death of the wife the
widower must pay a certain sum of
monos* or its equivalent in goods to his
father-in-law befoi’e lie can go a-court-
ing again. As money is a scarce article
among these natives, the tax generally
is paid in plates of common “stone chi
na,” which are much used b3’ the na
tives as a medium of exchange. It Is
considered the proper thing for the be
reaved one to pay 100 of these plates to
his father-in-law for permission to look
about him for a successor to the de
ceased helpmate.
If the husband dies, the widow at
once becomes the property of her par-
ents-in-law and so remains for life un
less some relative comes forward and
produces the necessary number of din
ner plates. The natural result of this
is that married people are all extreme-
13’ solicitous for the health of each oth
er. In sickness the* invalid is scdulous-
ly attended by the-partner of his or
her joys and sorrows, the well person
perhaps being moved more by the
thought of those hundred plates than
by real affection.
Divorce is unknown among these peo
ple, but a man may have as many
wives as he pleases. It will be seen
that in case of an epidemic which
would sweep away his wives a married
man would bo in dire extremits’. In
the case of a death of a much married
man his parents come into a small fox-
tune, for they either have enou :
slaves to render future work on their
paid unnecessary or they receive enough
plates from the families of the widows
to set up a crockeiy store.

The Japanese Trit-lc !»y WTiieli It Is
Accomplished.
The Chabo Hiba, a dwarf Japanese
pine tree, was recently sold for $1,200.
It is six feet high and alleged to be S50
years old. It has long been supposed
that the process by which Japanese
gardeners succeeded iu dwarfing forest
trees was a long and costly one. It is
now said that it is a simple process and
that any one can do the trick. The fol
lowing directions are given for produc
ing a miniature oak tree:
Take an orange and scoop out the
pulp. Fill the interior with a rich mold
and plant an acorn in the center of it,
leaving the hole in the rind for it to
sprout through. Put it in a sunii3 r place
and water it frequently. Soon after
the first shoots have appeared the roots
begin to break through ihe orange skin.
Take a sharp knife and shave these off
carefully aud keep them shaved. The
tree will grow about five or six inches
high and then stop. In a year it will
be a pei’fect miniature oak. When the
roots cease to grow, the orange skin
r' ould be varnished over and imbed
ded in a flowerpot.
The Japanese dwarf all kinds of trees
and make them live to a great age.
Some of these dwarfs, like the Chabo
Hiba, are well known, and their own
ers have doci’mentary evidence attest
ing their great age. The older they
are the more valuable, of course, they
are. In Japan certain families follow
the calling, trade, art, or what you will,
of growing dwarf trees from genera
tion to generation, and you can buy a
miniature oak 500 years old from a de
scendant of the man who first planted
the acorn. Not only forest trees, but
fruit trees and flowering shrubs, are
dwarfed by these clever gaideners.

TROUGH TOR HOG FEEDING,
ger and biggest, crawling, climbing,
rooting, squealing, a solid mass of well
packed pork, right into the swill trough
at feedtime, wallowing in and slopping
out sibout al! tl:e swiil that they do not
succeed iu gulping down themselves,
leaving the little fellows to “suck the
hind teat” with a vengeance, and to
live on the hope of getting a taste next
feed.
By building some troughs after the
plan of the illustration herewith the
runts and the 3-cung hogs have an
equal chance with the larger and older
ones, provided, of course, that the
trough is long enough or there are
enough troughs to accommodate them
in a line abreast, sa3’s a correspondent
of Farm and Fireside.
For the trough proper you can as well
utilize the old ones as to build new.
New ones may be made of one, one and
a half or two inch lumber, as best
suits convenience. Use 2 by 4 or 2 by 6
for the ground pieces at the ends, rest
the ends of the trough on them (if very
long an additional piece in the center is
advisable), then spike cn uprights 2 by
2 or 2 bj' 3, touching the edges of the
trough for rigid support, and ou this
nail crosspieces, bracing if necessary.
On these crosspieces lay a board or
boards and nail fast.
The upright pieces should be made
long enough only to allow the larger
hogs to get their heads between the
beard and the edge of the trough aud
reach the bottom. This prevents climb
ing on or into tbe trough and eliminates
the crowding feature.

Feeding Staffs,
In tests et the Kansas station the
high percentage of protein in alfalfa
cut at tbe earliest stage is the most
striking and important factor, since the
protein is the constituent that gives al
falfa* its great value. Since early cut
ting of alfalfa also results in securing
a greater tonnage during the season the
importance of carrying this idea into
field practice cannot be too strongly
insisted upon.
Buffalo grass hay is found very much
superior to ordinary prairie hay jl the
region in its percentage of protein and
also far superior to tirnotl^ hay in this
respect. In its carbohydrates and fat
it is not much different from these.
Kaffir corn stover is superior to field
cured stover in the digestibility of all
of its food principles, but Kaffir corn-
meal is noticeably inferior to corn-
meal. The most striking feature in the
results with the meal is the apparent
entire indigestibliity of its fat.
The soy bean meal is seen to be one
of tbe most concentrated feed stuffs,
being scarcely inferior to cottonseed
meal in protein and exceeding it in fat
and being considerably superior to old
process oil meal iu both these respects.
In carbohydrates it is practically the
same as cottonseed meal, but is in
ferior to linseed meal.
