FARMy HARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. Mixed Feed Beet for Animal*. No animals do well for any great length of time on any one article for food. The natural condition of all our domes ticated animals is to roam at large and make their .own selections from the abundant varieties which nature has provided. We frequently speak and write of the excellent feeding qualities of one or another variety of fodder, but in the experience of feeding it will be found that in tho first change from one kind to another wo have an increase of milk, although the change may not al ways be in favor of the most nutrition. A new variety tempts the appetite, and the extra quantity which the animal consumes will more than compensate for its less nutritious character. It is generally said for a horse that is work ing in heavy teams corn is preferable to oats, but for the driving or riding horse oats are bettor than corn. With this statement we disagree and prefer a mix ture. Oats produce more muscle, corn more fat. A horse fed on oats is quicker in its motions nnd more restive but fed on corn is steadier and more en during, hence the benefit of mixed feed. Nowhere is the advantage of a mixed feed more apparent than in milch cows, for, milk being a product that requires a fair proportion of a'l the elements re quired for the production of an animal, it is evident that all the elements will be necessary lor making milk. But some times wo make a special effort to pro duce an extra amount of butter; then wo must feed an extra amount of food which contains an excess of oil or fat. Wo find if we are feeding tho best of hay, if we add a little meal we do not increase the quantity of milk so much ns tho quantity of butter. Tho German chcm ists have for some time been teaching us that to obtain tho best results in feed ing we must linvo the supply of carbo- dydrates (fat and heat producers) and albuminoids (flesh producers) so evonly balanced that one Bhall consume the other in the animal economy, though this cannot always bo practicable on ac. count of the different conditions of the animals. One that is being fattened will consume a larger portion of carbo hydrates than of nibuminoids, and the latter will be found making richer the manure pile, although food is furnished largely in excess of f it-producing ma terial. In growing animals flesh and bone producers should bo in the ascend ancy, and in mile 1 ccws, as nlrcady stated, the elements should be well balanced. Tho evidonco that no one production of nature is all that is rc- qnired in the animal economy is fur nished in the fact ll at no one produc tion is adapted to all the requirements of the animals or all that is required from the animal. No person 1ms any higher apprecia tion of rye and corn fodder than the experienced feeder. Yet wo do not think that these ted alone are equal to a mixture. Ryo is valuable because it comes when it is dosirablc for tho cows to have a change; but there is a won derful difference between the addition of a few quarts of brewers’ grains nnd n quart of bran, mixed, nnd a pint of meal, in the production of milk. We are compelled to feed ryo alono because no other forage crop is available, or we would not do it. If we could have a mix ture of barley, oats, and clover with tho rye, we ehonld have a superior fodder, Pasture grass,or rather grasses,excel,ton for ton, either rye, barley, oats, olover, corn fodder, or any like cropB, because pastures yield a combination of grasses, all varying in their composition and in their time of maturing; but the differ ence is this, that we can obtain a ton of any of the fodder crops from les3 than one-tenth of the ground required for tho pasture grasses. Still, it is undesirable to feed any one forage crop when we could feed three or four mixed, or altet- nately. A mixture of grasses make a more profitable hay than any ono kind. Clover and peas aro good to alternate with corn fodder. Clover, whloh is rich in albuminoids, will produce a large quantity of milk. Sweet corn fod der is rich in sugar, starch, nnd fat, nnd will add to the milk the butter and sugar elements, and so on. But we have said enough to illustrate our position as to mixed feed being best for animals.- Amcrican Cultivator. Iteclper, Milk-Yeast Bread.—Take one cup ful of milk, add hot water to warm the milk; mix sifted flour to make a thin sponge; let stand over night in a warm place; Id tho morning add one half cup ful of butter, and flour to sufficiently stiffen for bread, kneading thoroughly; fill pans half full, and in awnrm place allow tho loaves to rise to the top of tho pans; bake in a steady oven, not too hot, one hour. German Flummery.—Half pint o milk, two ounces corn starch, two of sugar; boil until moderately thick. Flavor with lemon or vanilla; beat tho whites of four eggs to a snow, stir in lightly, turn the whole into a jelly mold (any dish will answer) that has not been wet with milk; let it get cool and firm; serve with any fruit syrup, boiled ustardor whipped cream. A Nice and Simple Dessert.—Take half a pint of rice,which must be put into a little cold water and boiled until nearly soft; now pour into it a pint of rich milk and boil again, stirring it al the time; sweeten with half a pound of sugar, and season with a little rose-water to your taste. Dip blanc-mange molds in cold water, and fill with the rice, which should be cooked to the consist ency of stiff mush. It will harden in a short while, and turn out prettily upon a flat dish. Eat with preserves and cream, cream, sugar, and nutmeg, or syllabub; custard even may be used for variety’s sake. ~~~ Prewrviug Batter Fresh. A discovery is announced which brings a new element into the calcula tion of the future of the trade in butter. On July 2t, of last year, Mr. G. M. Allender, the managing director of the Aylesbury Dairy company, put a churn ing of butter to the test, treating it in accordance with a new patent brought before him. The butter, in a muslin doth, was placed in a firkin without particle of salt, and every precaution taken to insure that there could bo no tampering with the experiment. The firkin remained on the premises at St. Petersburg place, Bays water, for three months, and when examined on Octo ber 24 it was as sound and sweet as when first put in. Practically this butter was exposed to the atmosphere during the whole time, seeing that air found free admittance into the firkin. Withou treatment tho butter would have gon completely putrid; but on smelling and tasting it on Friday it was lound per fectly sweet, firm and so excellent in flavor that it was as if only made the day before. Experts in the business, both in this country and in Ireland, have had samples, and pronounce, so says the Times, the preservation won derful; the only difference they find be ing that newly-made butter (and this first rate of its kind) has a peculiar aroma not quite equaled in the pre served butter; while tho latter is con sidered a little “ dead,” so that just a trace of 'salt in it would bo an improve ment. It is not possible to estimate the gain of being able to displace from our tables and from our cookeries tho ob jectionable salt butter, tho change bo- iug especially grateful to voyagers on shipboard, and to countries such as Bra zil, which import the whole of their butter. Ono great feature of the trade in future will bo the purchase and stor age of butter in summer when prices are low, for sale in winter, when prices rule higher—with considerable effect to ward equalizing the two seasoned prices to consumers.—Irish f armer's Oazcltc. Bread Making. It is sufficient, ns is done in Europe, to thoroughly mold and knead tho dough but once, put in the pans, carefully watch its rising, and when at tho right point to bake it, securing Bwcct bread and not that from sour dougli which can never bo made swcot. This of course implies no use of soda, since it is not needed when the dough is sweet, and since no soda can restore the nat ural sweetness of the grain. If the dough becomes sour it is because the fermentativo procoss has proceoded too far, approaching tho putrefactive stage, an actual waste of no inconsiderable per cent, of tho nourishment. While some may question tho propriety of this fer mentation, all will concede the fact that it should not bo raised so much as to be come even slightly acid, since sour bread is not only unpalatable but positively harmful. And since a large part of the food of the middle class must consist of bread (we might live quite well on bread and fruits), it is important not only that it shall be agreeable to the tnste, but contain as much ns possible of the bone nnd muscle elements to pro mote the health, especially of the young. Hints Tor Hot Weather. The following directions have been is sued by the New York board of health, but may prove useful in any locality: NURSING OK INFANTS. Over-feeding does more harm than anything else; nurse an infant n month or two old every two or three hours. Nurse an infant of six months and over five times in twenty-four hours, and no more. If an infant is thirsty give it pure water, or barley water; no sugar. On the hottest days a few drops of whisky may bo added to either water or food; the whisky not to exceed a tea spoonful in twenty-four hours. FEEDING OF INFANTS. Boil a teaspoonful of powdered barley (grouhd in a coffee grinder) and a gill of water, witli a little E iit, for fifteen min utes: strain. Then mix it with half as mucu boiled milk; add a lump of white sugar the size of a walnut, and give it lukewarm from a nursing bottle. Keep the bottle and mouthpiece in a bowl of water when not in use. A little soda may be added. For infants five or six months old give half barley water and half boiled milk, with salt, and a lump of sugar. For older infants give more milk than barley water. For infants very costive give oatmeal instead of bnrley. Cook and strain as before. When your breast milk is only half FOR THE FAIR SEX. How the Arancanos Live. The dwelling of the Araucano is round in shape, with a conical roof, the center of which has an opening for the escape of smoke. The size is in propor tion to the family occupants. It is made of upright posts planted in the ground, und horizontal poles are fastenod all around, leaving a narrow place for the liido doorway Over the poles are tied, cne hanging down over the other, bunches of dried grass or straw to keep out the rain and wind. Somo of the caciques are said to possess as many os nine wives, who sleep upon dried hides spread upon the floor, the rest of the family occupying the spare space, tho feet toward tho middle of tho room, where a fire is kept up during wet or cold weuther. Men nnd women bntho every morning at daybreak in the rivers or creeks, and at the trading posts it is said that tlio women are very cleanly in their cooking, using wooden spoons in place of their hands. When not on guged in war or hunting expeditions they delight in stretching out at full length on the ground in the hot rays of the sun. Tho women do tho outdoor work, tho planting and gathering of crops, and attend to indoor work as well. Their cows supply the principal wants of the fumily, and are taken great care of. Tho husbands aie kind to their wives, to all appearances, and the traders say that very seldom does a quarrel take place among the women. enough change off between breast milk and this prepared food. In hot weather 5 f blue litmus paper applied to the food turns red the food is too acid, and you must make a fresh mess or add a small pinch of baking Infants of six months may havo beef tea or beef soup once a day, by itself or mixed with other food; nnd, when ten or twelve months old, a crust of bread or a piece of rare beef to suck. No child under two years ought to eat at your table. Give no candies; in fact, give nothing that is not contained in these rules without n doctor's orders. SUMMER COMPLAINT. It comes from over feeding and hot and foul air. Keep doors and windows open. Wash your well children with cold wator twice a day, and oftoner in the hot season. Never neglect looseness of the bowols in an infant; consult the family or dis pensary physician at once, ana he will give vou rules about what it should take and how it should be nursed. Keep your rooms ns cool as possible, have them well ventilated, and do not allow bad smell to come from sinks, privies, garbage boxes or gutters about tho house where you live. Seo that your own apartments are right, and complain to the board of health if the neighborhood is offensive.

The same stroke of lightning that killed Mrs. George Williams, of Wil- linmstown, Va., burned up two bams with a large flock of turkeys and a lot of swine. In King Georgo county, Va., William Scott, aged twenty-ono yenrs, and Daniel Scott, aged fifteen yenrs, both colored, were recently instantly killed by light ning. George Morris, of Old Freedom, Mo., was killed by lightning while at work in a wheat field. Just after leaving the harvest field near Dayton, Ohio, two boys named Hovey nnd Smith were struck by light ell An intelligent correspondent of (lie Dublin Freeman's Journal prophecies the garnering of abundant harvests in Ireland this year from July to Novem ber, and if tho prophecy shall be justi fled by the great event there should be no need of frish relief funds next year, and no such demand as Mr. Parnell has just made—that a gift of $1,000,000 be taken from tho Irish church fund for the relief of the suffering The late heavy rains, followingtho long drought, have caused potatoes'to grow with rapidity, the cereals which have ap peared above ground are of a rich and heavy green hue, tho artificial grasses are making satisfactory progress, nnd the pnstures look beautiful; “indeed the “ whole face of the country smiles upon the husbandman.” Should the weather be normally warm next month a hoavy cereal produce may bo looked for in the districts. What is most needed in Ireland now, according to this correspondent, is the development of dairy industries, and a greater amount of land given over to the culti vation of culinary vegetables.

They had taken shelter While tying his horse to a telegraph >ole, in Carpe, Ontario, to seek shelter rom tho rain, a boy named Sproule, fourteen years of ago, was struck by lightning nnd instantly killed. Albert llobley, of Carrollton, III., was almost home, but concluded to stop under n tree near by uutil tho shower was over. A flash of lightning ended his career a moment afterward. When lightning visited Independence, Iowa, it struck a cow belonging to Charles Leslie,which was standing near a wire fonco, killed her. then straddled the wire, nnd followed it for half a mile splintering every poBt. After a storm at Louisville, Ky„ the bodies of Willium Prinz, Alfred Jones and John Ball, all colored farm hands of E. G. Miners, were found in n field near a tree under which they had sought shelter, killed by lightning. Tho little son of A. G Christopher, of Winchester, Ind., was instantly killed by lightning while on tho way out of a harvest field, in company with his father. The entire party received a shock, but sustained no serious injury excepting the boy. In Hartford oounty, Md., lightning struck a large tree on the fnrm of Mrs. McCormick nnd split it into kindling rood. It knocked the child of Peter G Hermann, a near neighbor, out ot a chair, and gave the mother a shock as if from a giant galvanic battery, but no one was killed. Cooking by I he Sun’s Rays. In regard to the much talked of use of solar heat for industrial purposes, Mouchot gives an account of his addi tional experiments in this direction, in which lie asserts that his smaller pieces of cooking apparatus have never failed to work during sunny weather. Some mirrors of less than half n square meter, constructed with'all desirable perfect tion have sufficed to roast half a kilo gram—or about one pound—of beef in twenty-two minutes, and to cook, in an hour and a half, stews which required four hours of an ordinary firo ot wood and in half an hour to bring three fourths of a liter of cold water to the boiling poin\ which latter corresponds to the utilization of 9.5 colorie3 per minute per square meter, which may be considered a remarkable result in the latitude of Paris. Coffee as a Disinfectant. The Foonah Observer, a paper pub ished in India,states that recent experi ments made in that country have proved that roasted coffee is one of the most powerful disinfectants, not only render ing animal and vegetable effluvia in nocuous, but actually destroying them A room in which meat in an advanced state of decomposition had been kept for some time was instantly deprived of all smell on an open coffee roaster being carried through it containingapoundof newly-roasted coffee. In another room the effluvia occasioned by the clearing out of a cesspool was completely re moved within half a minute by the use of three ounces of fresh coffee. The way in which coffee is used as a disinfectant is by drying the raw bean, then pound ing it in a mortar, and afterward roast ing the powder on a moderately-heated iron plate until it assumes a dark hue. The coffee must, however, be pure, as chicory possesses no deodorizing power. The awn. For what intrigues of love and flirta tion is not tho fan responsible?

"For the Spanish woman.” says somo one, “ all the maneurves of love are hidden in the folds of her fan,” but it is not necessary thnt wo should travel so far to learn the craft; ono might affirm that Nature herself had instructed her child ren in tho manipulation of the fan, nnd that a pretty woman who does not know how to wield it effectively would be no less a miracle than “ red roses blooming through the snow.” Indeed, all nations and generations appear to acknowledge the services cf this little affair of the toilet, which Has descended to us from the dusty antiquity of the East, and have lavished upon it whatever richness or skill they could command. It has been carved, like lnce-work, in ivory mother-of-pearl, and the sweet-scented woods of India; enriched with the feathers of strange tropical birds—per haps from the wings of the roc; the most splendid stuffs of the looms, the rarest cobwebs of the lace-workers, have been pressed into its service; goldsmiths have wasted their invention upon it, ot' er remedies and artists of renown have wrought their dreams into its decorations; as far back as sages sang or legends reach the fan has done duty, no doubt; while soulpture has not disdained to chisel it, amidst other circumstances of kingly pomp, in view of the fact, perhaps, thnt it was once an attribute oi the purple, unshared by tho vulgar.

This elegant trifle was formerly ns indispensa ble to a lady’s costume ns her gloves, ono variety doing duty in tho drawing room, another on the promenade; nnd even in this utilitarian age wo regard it with favor, not only as a legacy of tho past which can call up visions, but as a pretty trinket to keep idle hands from mischief.—Harper's Bator. Fashion Kota*. Stomachers are superseding waist cats. Red cotton parasols are carried in PnriB. Ice-wool shawls continue in favor this season. White lace is used to trim cream- colored gowns. Pea spotted hosiery and glovos look as if blistered. Gold lace appears as a border on many of tbc new mantles. Turbans, or something very like them, are affected by many English dowagers. Turbans and bonnets in whioh gold and bronzed straw is used grow in favor steadily. Long kid gloves may wrinkle, but Lisle thread should fit ulmost as closely as one’s skin. The best Tuscan lace is made by hand, but that which contains pilk is woven by machinery. Severnl vests of different colors ar- worn under some of tho Jerseys which laoe across the front. Straw lace is not only used to trim velvet bonnets, but is made into fans which are lined with red silk. Poppy colored veils will be pretty for winter, if the fancy for them should last until the cold weather. Sashes of feather-edged ribbon are especially pretty for whito dresses trim med with a great deal of lace. Catlictino doMedici’s fashion of wear ing a roll of wadding just above the top of tho sleeve has been adopted in Paris. Vegetable gauzes in Madras gingham patterns havo been introduced in Paris. They nre expensive and will not bear wetting. The silk plaitings placed below the hem of dresses should be about an inch and a quarter deep, and the white frill should fall below it. Copper trimmings and fringes arc used on some buff mantles, and copper is mixed with the crenm-colored goods that sometimes trims black gowns. Not so Easily Fooled Chambers' Journal recalls an anecdote which is related of a certain Edinburg professor of natural history who was engaged in delivering a course of lec turers on geology, but which had a re- sult different from what was anticipated. One day a chosen band of ills students acquired possession of a brickbat, which they painted a variety of specious hues, and placed among the other fos sils and rocks on which their master was to discourse. The professor lllus" trated his lecture by reference to the specimens before him on the table, say ing, for examplo, as he went on, “This is a piece of volcanic trap-rook,” or This is a piece of granite.” At length he came to the mysterious Etranger with the gaudy livery, and after taking it up in his hands nnd examining it atten tively for a few moments, he proceeded: And gentlemen, this is, I am sorry to say, a piece of foolishness.” A similar story is told of an American profrssor whose specialty was entomol ogy. Some of his students, wishing to trst his knowledge, prepared a bug with great care, making it up of the wings, legs, etc., of the different insects. Carry ing it to the professor they said: “Pro fessor, here is a strange specimen that we have found. Can you classify itf" The professor studied it a few moments and then said,quietly: “Gentlemen this is a hum-bug.” hope ai is Malt Bitter*.

The Oriental physicians are the great est quacks in the world. Take the fol lowing specimen of their profoundity: An emir, supposed to have the heredi tary gift of healing, prescribed lor a patient, an upholsterer, lying at death’s door with the typhus fever. The next day he called to see his patient and found, to his astonishment, for he had given him up, that he was much better. On inquiring into the particulars the convalescent told the emir that, being consumed with thirst, he had drank a pailful of the juice of pickled cabbage! “Allah is great!” cried the emir, and down went the fact on hiB tablets. The doctor was soon after called upon to attend another patient, a dealer in embroidered handkerchiefs, who was ill of the same disease—typhus fever. Of course he prescribed a pailful of pickled cabbage juice. The next day he heard that the sufferer was dead, whereupon he made the following entry upon his books: “Although, in cases of typhus fever, pickled cabbage juice is an efficient remedy, it must in no case be used un less the patient is an upholsterer.” It was evident to the Eastern sage that his patient died because it was his mis fortune to deal in handkerchiefs instead of sofa coverings. —Prof. H.
