Fattening oi Stock.
While nearly every tanner knows
hovr to keep his animals fat, or at least
ii good condition, there are doubtless
rnauy who know little or nothing of the
principles of the assimilation of iood, or
why one kind should be so much better
than another. The English Agricul
tural Gazette has published of late sev
eral articles on this subject, from one
of which we condense the follow
ing :
After an animal is born it derives
its entire nourishment from vegetable
matter. Even the carnivora, or flesh i
eaters, feeding as they do, upon herbi j
vorous creatures, derive their food orig
iually from the vegetable kingdom.
Oxen and sheep may be looked upon
as concentrators of the grass and tur
nips, upon which they are fed, in order
to present the nutritive matters they
contain in a convenient form to man—
It. is, therefore, evident that plants con
tain in their leaves, roots, stems, and
seeds, the requisite elements for build
ing up the animal body. The digestive
system possesses the power of converg
ing the materials which have previous
ly existed in the plant into tissues use
ful for the animal’s increase and pres
ervation. Nor is the transformation
from vegetable to aniuial matter a pro
cess involving so radical dr complete a
change of properties in the materials
empbyed,as might be supposed. View
ing the animal apart from its wonderful
powers of volitiou, locomotion, intelli
gence — apart from its mental proper
ties —we may consid rit as a growth
only. Looking thus at a fattened ani.
ma', we find that the constituents of the
food it consumes reappear fixed in its
organization with wonderfully little
change of chemical composition.
After artificially driving off the wa
ter, there remains a dried mass, nearly
all of which is combustible. It is the
dried portion which we have now lo
especially notice; it is known to chem
ists as organic ma ter, or matter col
lected and formed by an organism.—
Thiß consists entirely of two important
groups, the non nitrogenous, or, in ac
cordance with certain properties espec
ially possessed by each, the non-nitro
genous substances are spoken of as fat.
producers, heat producers, and respira*
tory compounds, while the nitrogenous
substances are styled flesh-formers.
Tbe non-n’urogenous section is com
posed largely, and olten ch.efly, of
crude fibre, of material which is either
indigestible or slowly digestible. It
exists in the largest proportion in ma
ture stems, leaves and straws. W heat
and barley straw contain 48 per cent.,
meadow hay 30 per cent., and some of
the clover hays only 25 per cent. The
older the fodder the more abundant is
the indigestible fibre, and h* nee the
general esteem in which young fodder
is held. As an example : it has been
found that red clover in full blossom
(the best period at which to cut it)
contains 25 per cent, of crude fibre, but
red clover contains as much as 48 per
cent. The larger the proportion of
crude or indigestible fibre the less valu
able will be tbe fodder. But it will be
found that cattle, owing to the great
size of their food receptacle, or paunch,
require bulky material, and this nature
provides in the crude fibre. Oxen can
live upon straw and comparatively in
nutritious food, while sheep should be
fed upon nutritious bay ; and pigs, ow
ing to the small size of their stomachs,
must bo allowed food of still higher
concentration.
Fat must be regarded as a surplus
product, which only accumulates when
an animal is fed beyond its require
ments. The natural temperature of
the body, on the other bat'd, must be
kept up ; heat production is thus the
first use of the carbo hydrates, and
when that want is satisfied the surplus
assimilable material is stored iu all
parts of the body as fat. The bear re
tires to his hybernating den full of fat,
but emerges in the spring as lean as a
scarecrow. He has been “living upon
his fat” during the winter, and comes
out in the summer to lay in the supply.
The fat may be looked upon as a mag
azine of heat or of animal fuel, and if
need be, the system at once avails itself
of the store and uses it. Hence tbe
importance of keeping animals warm,
or at least in comfort, for by such
treatment less of the carbo-hydrates
are converted into warmth, and a larger
proportion is stored up in the form of
fat.
As the fattening of animals for the
butcher is correctly supposed to mean
the accumulation of fat more thaa of
anything else, the importance of fat
formers in the food is very great
Hence the serial grains, malt, maize,
hay, potatoes, and all vegetable pro
ducts rich iu starch, sugar, or pectin,
are valuable foods.
Still more remarkable is the fact that
vegetable foods contain oils and fats.—
These vegetable fats are simply trans
formed by the animal into auimal fats
without any change of composition ;
and the transference of vegetable fat to
the animal body is affected with so
much ease that it is considered to be
worth, for feeding purposes, two-and a
half times its weight of starch or su
gar. Linseed cake contains about 10
per cent, of fat or oil, and about 40 per
cent of other carbo-hydrates. The
value of this oil is equal to 30 per cent,
starch or sugar, and hence the total
carbo hydrates in this highly esteemed
food is equivalent to 70 per cent of
Btatch. When to this high percentage
as fat-formers is added the 28 per cent
of albuminoids which usually exist in a
good linseed cake, we have no difficulty
in understanding why it is so highly
valued by farmers.—JV Y Weekly Sun.
U R
Call)cum
Educating Children.
The mind of the child is a plastic
mould, sensitive to the slightest impres
sion. Tne uuwritten lessons of home
influence have far more effect in shap
ing character than the drill and study
of the school-room. What father does,
what mother says, is full of license of
life, buoyancy, steam. Don’t depress
the youthful mind ; don’t discourage
the boy who thinks he can roll a snow
bail, gathering size at every revolution
until it shall he as large as a hogshead.
Let him try his powers and learn his
weakness. His failure will set !. iui to
thinking, reasoning, knowiug. The lit
tle fellow’s education is well advauced
when he has commenced to think, rea
son and argue for himself.
Pareuts are too chary of their confi
dence. The natural instincts of most
children is to do right. They need en
couragement and explanation rather
than rebuke and fault finding. 1 heir
li tie steam engines need regulators
rather than collisions; they need to
keep the track more than they need to
smash up. The instinct of industry is
natural to children ; if you don’t find
employment for their activity, it devel-*
ops itself into pencil drawing on paint
and walls, or destruction of cane seat
chairs. The perpetual motion of hands
and feet and tongue, so wonderful to
the adult mind, may become a Niagara
of power when balanced and con
trolled.
The impulse of curiosity ihrobs in
the little fellow’s brain ; he is full of
new discoveries and searching inqui
ries. If you don’t give attention to
his little questions, and satisfy his men
tal cravings at home, he seeks the ser
vant, the hostler, the corner loafer, and
from them gains his first rudiments of
morals, his first knowledge of facts, and
his first lesson in living and think
ing
Mothers, did the thought ever occur
to you that your indifference to their
many questions would drive your little
one to questionable sources of infortna
tion, to impure fountains of inspiration,
to low standards of manhood and wo
manhood ? Did you ever reflect that
the little mind and heart that yearns
for your care and love, that is suscepti
ble to your sh ping and moulding in
its youthful days, will Soon pass on into
the cold world, without, bevond your
reach, beyond tbe gentle hand, the lov
ing heart that would fain obliterate
some ugly feature in the once beautiful
image, whose lines have grown too cold,
too hard, too sordid, ever again to be
warmed and moulded and fashioned by
a mother’s love, or father's hope ?
Science on the Farm.
The mere mention of the word sci
ence or scientist appears to be oonox -
ious to many of our farmers, who de
nounce scientific agriculture as a verit
able cheat and a snare. Of course, it
is not to be denied that there has been,
and is at the present day, an immense
amount of charlatanry among the self
sty'ed scientific agriculturists, but the
same is true of all other professions or
branches of seieuce and art. The med
ical prolusion, important as it is to the
welfare of mankind, is overburdened
with quackery, but that dov.B not inval
idate the claims of the skillful physi
cian and surgeon to honorable recogni
tion by tbe community. The greatest
obstacle to the advance of true science
in all the learned profes ions, is the
crowding of legitimate channels with
charlatans, who stand in little fear of
punishment if discovered, so that the
unlearned or even imbecile frequently
assume titles to which they have no
right.
But the farmer, in a majority of in
stances, has misunderstood the meaning
of the te.m science and scientific agrL
culture, believing it to be something far
beyond the comprehension of persons
who have not been specially traiued in
school or college. Now, genuine sci
ence, at best, is merely common sense
and observation combined, and all pre
paratory studies are little more than
good tools, with which a man works
out problems in after years. Of course
a mechanic cannot do as good work
with a few or poor t r ols as he can with
plenty of the very best, but he may
still be scientific; the same is true with
the farmer, and the better his prepara,
tory education the more rapid will be
his progress ; but because be cannot go
as deep in his investigations as some
others, it does not follow that no inves
ligations should be made.
The idea appears to have got abroad
that science in farming means chiefly
the analysis of Boils and the food of
animals; this error, for it certainly is
one, originated from the investigations
and writings of 3uch men as lioussen.
gault, Liebig, Johnson, and contempo.
raneous uuthors, wh.se life labers were
mainly in that direction, and were, in
many instances, carried far beyond what
was necessary for practical utility. It
is not, however, necessary for a man to
be a thorough chemist, geologist, bo
tanist, or a specialist in any one branch
of science, to be a scientific farmer
Good ploughing is a scientific opera
tion, producing both mechanical and
chemical results, there being an abund
ant opportunity for the display of a high
order of scientific intelligence in tbe
simple act of turning over the soil. To
ascertain just how deep to plough in
order to produce the be-fc results on ev
ery diflere.it kind of land, requires a
great amount of study and many care
fully conducted experiments Then,
the ploughing previous to putting in a
crop is often followed by the stirring of
the soil among the plan s, and the fre

forming the operation, call for some
verj c.ose calculations and investiga
tions, which a-e undoubtedly of a sci
entific order.
In the feeding and care of animals
scientific investigations are constantly
required, and although a farmer may
not be able to conduct various analyses
in a chemical laboratory and determine
the composition of his timothy or clo
ver hay, and learn which is the richest
food for his stock, he can readily obtain
the knowledge sought by experiments in
feeding the two kinds separately, and
noting the effect upon the animals. —
B't it is scarcely necessary in these
days of cheap books and periodicals for
a farmer to spend much time in practi
cal experiments of this kind, for the
value for food of nearly every known
forage plant was long since ascertained,
and a man would be very foolish to
spend his time in repesting experiments
where no new discoveries are likeiy to
be made. Tbe great want of the dav
is not new discoveries in seience per
taining to agriculture, but the general
diffusion and application of what is al
ready known to a comparatively small
nu.iber. There is not the least need
of any new forage plants or grain, but
those we already possess should become
better known among the tillers of the
soil, and this can only be brought about
by a more careful perusal of books and
periodicals devoted to natural scien
ces.
Every farmer should know enough
of botany to enable him to distinguish
the commonly cultivated grasses and
other plants from those growing wild in
his uncultivated lands. When he has
learned this much, he will know the
noxious species from the useiul, and
enough of their natural habits to ena
ble him to more readily destroy the one
and encourage the growth of the other,
than if he remained iu total ignorance
of botanical science. The same is also
true of entomology, it
great amount of study to learu the dif
ference betwe.n the common moths and
butterflies, or to distinguish the bugs
from beetles; and yet this little knowl
edge wou’d frequently be of great as
sistance to the farmer in enabling him
to know his friends from his foes among
insects. liven what would generally
be termed mere “smatterings” of sci
ence in the branches named become val-
when applied or employed >
farming; hence the importance of their
accumulation, and the earlier in life the
the better.— ' JS r . Y. Weekly Sun.

“Git out you nasty puppy—let me
alone, or I’ll tell ma !” cried out Sally
to her lover, Jake, who sat about ten
feet from her, pulling dirt from the
chimney jaui.
“ lam t techin’ on you, now Sal,”
responded Jake.
“ Well, perhaps you don’t, mean to
nuther, do you ?”
“ No, I don’t!”
“ Cause you are too darned scary, you

“ Now, Sal, I love you, and can’t
help it, and ef you don’t let me stay
and court you, my daddy will sue
yourn for that cow he sold him
t’other day. By jingo, he said he’d do
it.”
“Well, look here. Take—if you want

“How on airth is that, Sal ?”
“Why, side right up here and hug

“Well, said Jake, drawing a long
breath, “ef I must, I must, for I love
you, Saland so Jake commenced sli
ding up to her like a maple poker go*
ing to battle.
Layiug his arm gently upOD Sal’s
shoulder, we thought we heard Sal
say :
‘ That’s the way to do it, old boss ;
that is actiug like a white man or

“O, Jerusalem and pan cakes !” ex
claimed Jake, “if this ain’t better than
apple sass marm ever made, a darned
sight. Crack-ee! buckwheat cakes,
slapjacks and lasses aiu’t no whar long
side of you, Sal! Oh, how I love
you !”
Here their lips came together, and
the report that followed was like pull

Wauled to Nell a Hair Bru^li.
A long-waisted lady, having a se
ductive way and winning smiles, called
upon a Detroit shoe-maker yesterday,
to convince him that he needed a metal
hair brush —a novelty jus* out and iu
the hands of canvassers. After 6he
had put in about five minutes’ talk,
he uncovered bis bald head and ask
ed :
“Where is there anythirg to brush
witn it ?”
“Then your wife could use it,” she
said.
“My wife is dead, poor soul.”
“Then your daughter.”
“I have no daughters, and the only
son I have went crazy brushing his
hair too much.”
“I believe this brush would help a
new growth of hair on your scalp,” un
willing to let him go.
“Don’t want any hair there,” he re
plied.
“I never was so happy since I have
become ball headed/'
“Well, don’t you ever brush your
scalp ?”
“Never. I have sand-papered it
four times per year, and the rest of the
time it must get along the best way it
can.”
“I am in great need of money,” she
remarked as she looked around the
shop.
“St am I,” he replied as he pegged
away. “I haven’t but three dol
lars within the last two weeks.”
“It vould be almost au act of charity
to buy of me,” she pleaded.
“I never give to charity, madam. I
haven’t giveu a shifting to any one or
1 any object for the last twenty years.”
“Your secon l wife might want the
brush.”
“I shall never marry again. I hate
all women.”
“Then you don’t think you could use
it ?” she asked as she rose up.
‘•Yes, I could take it and brush my
dog’s ears back to his tail, and brush
his tail clear over his nose, or could
make it over into a snow-shovel, or sell
it to some saw mill, or repair my wheel

What a Woman Can Do.
Asa wife and mother, woman can
make the fortune and happiness of her
husband and children ; and, if she did
nothing else, surely this would be suf
ficient destiny. By her thrift prudence
aud tact, she can secure to her partner
and to herself a competence in old age,
no matter how small their beginning
or how adverse a fate may be theirs.—
By her cheerfulness she can restore her
husband’s spirits, shaken by the anxi
ety of business. By her tender care
she can often restore him to health, if
disease has overtasked his powers. By
her love she can win him from bad
comj any, if temptation in an evil hour
has led him astral. By the examples,
her precepts, and her sex’s insight into
character, she can mould her children,
however adverse their disposition, into
noble men and women. And by lead
ing iu all things a true and beautiful
life she can reline, elevate and spirit'
ualize all who come within reach ; so
that with others of her sex emulating
and assisting her, she can do more*to
regenerate the world than all the states
men or reforms that ever legislated
She can do much, alas ! perhaps more
to degrade man if she chooses to do it
Who can estimate tbe evils that wo
man has the power to do ? Asa wife
she can ruiu herself by extravagance,
fully or want of affection. She cau
make a demon or an outcast of a man
who might otherwise become a good
member of society. fche can bring
bickeriugs, strife and discord into what
has beeu a happy home. She can
change the innocent babes iuto vile
men and even into vile women She
can lower the moral tone of society it„
self, aud thus pollute legislation at the
spring head. She can, in fine, become
an instrument of evil instead of an an
gel of good. Instead of making flow
ers of truth, purity, beauty and spirit
uality spring up in her lootsteps till
the eai ;h smiles with lovelit ess that is
almost celestial, she can transform it
into a black and arid desert, covered
with the scorn of all evil passion, and
swept by the bitter blast of everlasting
death. This is what a woman can do
lor the wrong as well as for the right.
Is her mission a little one ? Has she
no worthy work, as has become the cry
of late ? Man may have a harder task
to perform, a rougher road to travel,
but he has none loftier or more influen
tial than woman’s.
