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 Herald.

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.

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.

Crossvili.e, Ala , Oct. 1-1—The gin- house and platform, with two bales of cotton, of W. B. Jones were discovered on fire yesterday. The platform and cotton were saturated with oil. A jug was found about 75 yards from the gin, which had oil in it. By hard work th9 gin was saved. The damage to the cot ton was about $50. No clew to the cmilr.v narev vet found. 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. C. M.

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. ESTABLISHED A. D, 1846.

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. TELEPHONES: Bell. 282; Stroger, 802. OFFICE and WORKS North Augusta.
