Feme interesting wain of experiments in feeding calves are recorded in a report of the Monster (Kngland) Agriculture, and Dairy Pcbool, just issued. The food tried were as follow, the iuantities named being given Jaily: (1.) Eight quart of skininied milk. (2.) Ten juartsof separated milk. (3.) A miitare prepared r by juring eight quarts tl boiling water on one quart of linseed steal and one and one-third quarts of bean aoeal, covered up for twenty-four hours, and then boiled with mcore water, enough of which was added to provide eight quarts for each calf. (4.) A feeding jaeal sold at twenty-one shillings per luO weight, mixed with water quantity not ttated. Two calves were put on earh kind of food, and, alter they were a month old, ach had a little hay. The experiment lasted from the Äth of May till the 27th of August. The average daily increase in live weight in the different lots was 1 'J pounds for No. 1, 1.77 pounds for Xo. 2, 1.C3 pounds for No. 3, and 1.CÖ pounds for No. 4. The cost per pound of increase was reectively, in the same order of lots, Ü) pence, .5 pence, 1.5.3 pence, and 2.1) pence. The mixture of bean xoeal and linseed meal, therefore,' gave the test increase at- the least cost ier pound. Another experiment was that of testing the quality of butter produced from a given quantity of milk after extracting the cream with the Danish separater, as compared with Die quantities obtained after skimming milk which had been allowed to sind for various periods. The averages of forty-three trials showed that, from a quantity of milk yielding 100 pounds of butter with the use ot' t!ie separator, skimming after twenty-four hours yielded rifty-nine pounds, after thirty-six fconrs sixty six pounds, after forty-two hours seventy-three pound, and after Sii tyfcur hours seventy-six pounds. These trials, extending from January to July, were made at various temperatures. Only in a few instances as the percentage in favor of the separator less than IS per cent, when the proper speed was maintained. His Little Kaspberry l'atrlt. Ttinking that his little experiment in propagating and cultivating a pat-'h of raspberries would interest many who are fond of the berry, Mr. Cooley, of Appleton, says the Alilwaukee Sentinel, has jotted down his experiences for their benefit: "Having a small flat in my garden, a space of 12) feet in leegth by sixty in width, I concluded to deTOte it to raspberries. Haying thoroughly prepared the ground, 1 procured good, healthy roots and staked each end of the the plat, so as to have rows six feet apart. I stretched a line from end to end of ahe first line of stakes and commenced setting the loot?, planting them one yard apart in the row, which gave me about forty plants to the row. I planted nine rows in the whole. aggregating 30i) plants, and by cutting off ail the tops 1 got the full strength of the root for the rirst year's growth, which I consider essential to "the full development of the plant. Alter tne plants got well started I mulched heavily with coarse litter to smoth er out everything between the hills and rows, thus rendering it an easy matter to keep the ground clean. I haven't plowed or cultivated the ground since the tirst setting. My first work after the packing season is over, is to go through and cut out all the old bearing wood, thus giving the young planes all the chance possible for the next year's crcp. I confine my bushes by trellissinjr, to prevent prostration by . storms and wind. My crop last year marketed over W) boxes. beside what was used in the family and by the pickers, or an average of l.; boxes to the row. My bushes suffered but little by the sevtrity of last winter, which I attribute to my cutting oil the tops about September 1, thus rendering them hardy enough to win ler well. kinuin;; Catile by Electricity. The depreciation in value of hides from what are known in the trade as ''scores," -snips." and "cuts," says the San Francisco rhronicle, is large, and the introduction of improved lalxir-saving appliances for taking ofi animal skins without injury to either the hide or the carcass has been so slow and of so unimportant a nature hitherto that the thou sands of persons engaged in the industry ou this coast can not but experience a certain degree of satisfaction over the introduction in California of an appliance which would appear to be what the trade has been waiting for all long. The invention is called an electric siding-knife, and is, like nearly all other good inventions, simplicity itself, being virtually nothing more than a alight alteration of the hdison incandescent -or ar light, with the glass bulb removed. The knife in construction resembles very much the recejver enipioy ea in telephone orhces, and, like it, has a double set of covered or insulated wires attached to the butt end of the handle, connecting through the tody of the same to the cutting, or, more properly, the burning' edge of wire, which is composed of platinum. The current is en tirely under the control of the manipulator of the knife. After the hide is opened in the tisual way with an ordinary knife the current is tuine l on, and trie removal of the hide is begun in long sweeps cf the sider. The irimiple is that of burning, as the platinum edg is brought to an intense white heat, yet the edge is "so arranged and pro tected by non-conducting shields that it n impossible to in-sure either the hide or the carca?. In fact, the hide seemstn h or pulled orrb the w den

Meantime, we nmstgonow to rranci and Ielgiuru for much of the vegetables we use, and for the aged and inferior eggs now produced at our breakfast tables. Farm Horse Id Winter. An English journal says: Farm horses re quire as much care and attention as -any other kind ol stock, when there is a prolonged deep snow, or when, from any stress of wintry or wet weather, they remain for several days, and, perhaps a fortnight, doing little or nothing. The danger in this case arises owing to the sudden change from daily toil and continuous activity, to the perpetual rest f every physical organ. If allowed to remain in their warm ttables they are tolerably sure to have swollen legs under such circumstances. If fed, as usualn consideraUe quantities of oats or beans, - indigestion ensue, together with otner '-worse internal aiunents. Consequently, ail ,ho are wise take oil' half the usual allowances of corn from their working horses when a lengthy period of enforced idleness ensues, and instead of allowing them to remain tied up in the stalls, turn them into a straw-yard or some paddock in the .day time, when they are able, of their own accord, to get a little wholesome exercise and also fresh air. of course there is always some work to he 1. me with the team, nrovided a deen snow does not make egress from the homestead next to impossible, l oldyard dung mav be carted to distant fields, or chalk, marl or lime be fetched from neighboring or even faraway localities, to form esmpost heaps for pastures. Nor should it be forgotten at such a riod as the present that, according to the opinion of many old experienced farmers the arable land has suffered greatly in recent years through the time-honored system of lining it having been so generally abandoned. Professor Priuhard, in a recent lecture, pointed out that one capital reason why horses süßer so much from indigestion in the winter season is the common practice of al lowing them to drink alter feeding heartily. If the precaution was taken of allowing them to have their Mil of water before having their feeds ot corn and other provender, they would sutler far less, in his opinion. If. in addition, the practice of always giving chilled or lukewarm, instead of cold water, to horses. were always adopted, they might be allowed to drink freely as soon as they come in from the held, even although in a profuse state of perspiration. revolution in Mock Food. The practical success of ensilage without a silo mat is, preservation of erass and other green forage in open air stacks under pres sure opens up, says the limes, ol London, a new prospect of great economy in the feed ing of lairy cattle, hor summer consumption grass can not.be improved upon, but for winter milk production h.7y is too costly. Here comes in the cultivation of heaviercropping forage plants, both for summer leed on the existing system and ior winter feed in the form of silage. In September Professor James Long shallow-plowed an oat stubble and sowed a mixture of sixteen pounds per acre of giant turfolium and twenty jounds of rye grass. At the present moment, the plant, though sown at such an unusual time of year, is as fine ao if it had been sown last spring. It will be cut when ready and a second cut from the rye grass taken in autumn, when the stubble will be sown with a mixture of the stronger, hardy grasses and left down for two years. Similar grass cultivation has been adopted by Mr. C. M. A 1 lender on the Aylesbury l)airy company's farm near Horsbam, and has succeeded admirably. Professor Ixmg's estimate is that a yield of ten tons per acre of the green fodder will keep six cows for more than four months, and if the second cut gives him five tons he will keep the six cows for two months longer. That is for the succulent food, not includingcakeand corn in ad dition. If the sama fifteen tons be mad into sitage, it would keep six cuws during three winter months. Here we have the remarkable result of two acres cultivated under artificial grass, and half the produce, made in silage, supplying the bulk of the food of six cows for nine months. In turn the land would grow a ureat weight of tares for silage in time to be followed the same year by maize or orghum saccharatum, perhaps twenty tons per acre. And both maize (as a forage plant) and sorghum are cleansing crops. This is anew light on the feasibility of substituting for wheat husbandry a system of self-contained grass husbandry, maintaining live stock the whole year through. KevUini; Chilled Lamb. A Montana correspondent of the SheeD Drteder writes: It frequently happens that a new-born lamb may be brought to life, as is said, when it is so chilled that it seem almost dead by immersing; in hot water. When they are able to swallow a few drops of spirits will restore them. They should also be rubbed while in the water, to restore circulation. They may be revived in the same way even when stiff. These youn? animals will endure much cold if they once get up and pet some milk, but while the weather is cold they are very liable to get chilled before they can get strength enough to draw the needed nutriment. A eve will take much better care of her lamb if alone in a small pen by herself, or at least with few others, and the lamb will be more sure of its life. Some cre and attention from the owner is needed to succeed. A young lanb may rot be very valuable of itseii, but it has in it the making of a full-grown animal, and on its preservation, therefore, depends the profus of the "band" or herd. When these animals are Ijom early in the "season, if properly started. they get a much better growth and greater size than irrjate m the season, and innr-h

slowly, -very reluctantly, bot-tery snrely, to bow only to tha unanswerable logic of facts."

I A C.oed Scheme. For the benefit of farmers who bave been suflering from the prevailing agricultural depression, the state railway in the Grand Duchy of Baden, says an English paper, has lately introduced a new system, which it describes as "goods season-tickets." Subject to certain regulations as to the weight of certain packages, a farmer is at liberty to subscribe, for a month or a longer period, for the right to send daily between his own etation and any town in the Grand Duchy such a weight of produce as he thinks fit. All the produce need not be sent to the same consignee; but the eggs may be consigned to one tradesman, vegetables to a second, and Mowers and fruit to a third. In this way it is hoped that the profit of the salesmen will be saved, and the farmers will receive a more remunerative price for his crops without the consumer being in any way injured. Metal tickets are, issued, which remain permanently affixed to the packages, and indicate the name and address of both consignor and consignee. All empties are retuned carriage free. If English, railway companies wonld make some advance in the same direction they would probably tap a source of trade which would become increasingly profitable to themselves, end they might do somethinir to rut an end to the irlarinz dispro portion that at present exists between the price paid by the consumer and tnat reenved by the producer. . IPhophate in Ouion (.rowing. lUcrmamowii Telegraph. It is sometimes urged that phosphate is an excellent fertilizer for onions. The test can be madj satisfactorily only by using upon a. portion of thefceld and 'omitting .another portion. Farmers do not always-stwptv) consider causes as effecting results, and so if phosphate is employed in the cvltivation of a crop of onions which do well, the success is attributed is the phosphate. In order to' determine regarding elTect3 of any kind of fertilizer, there should be a basis of comparison one where no fertilizer is used upon a section, and other sections treated with different kinds of fertilizers. On the same field may he treated a part to manure and another part to phosphate, so as to compare these two alone. This was done this season by an onion grower, who stated that the result somewhat surprised him. The onions where the phosphate was used were not quite so large, and did not grow as well when tne phosphate was employed, and more than that, those were much mure troubled with the onion maggot. A few years since another onion grower was more pronounced regarding a certain brand of phosphates which he had similarly tested. He declared that he would not have it spiead upon 1. is land if it couid be done for nothing. Farmers need to learn regarding sj ecial manures, and to know whether there is a profit su rlicient to warrant the expenditure necessary in their purchase. Cooked Potatoes for Hog;. From the National Live stock Journal. J Much of the value of potatoes as a hog food depends upon the cooking. If fed largely raw they produce scouring and do not all digest. This is due to the fact that the iotato is composed so largely of starch as to make cooking an almost indispensable aid to digestion. A little raw potato is beneficial to the hog's stomach when fed largely upon corn. It is laxative and cooling, allaying the fevei ish tendency arising fiorn the heating effects of corn. When fed to realize the most benefit from them for fattening, they should be boiled soft, and if grain be fed with them, they should be cooked together, rota toes and corn go well together, the former giving bulk, and the latter concentrated nutriment. The potatoes have more value, judiciously fed, as promoting health than for nutriment. Although more nutritious than any other roots, the potato, nevertheless, is o pi er cent, water, so that its nutritive value is far below that of corn, in fact, it takes .;s: pounds of potatoes to be equivalent in nutriment to 1W pounds of dry corn. Ac Arab Dorse Dealer' Warranty. The following is the literal translation of a certificate recently given by an Arab horse dealer to one of his customers: In the name -f Ood, compassionate and merciful, thank; be to God the Lord of the universe. Prayer and health to the most illustrious of the prophets, to his josterity and to all his friends. Thanks be to God that by His will the firmament moves, that by His mighty power He has created tke world, the birds, horses, and every living thing, and to Adam also, whom lie commanded His angels themselves to honor. To some of these beings living from thecreatioa the Lord promised His favor, happiness, and paradise, and for others He decreed scorn and His vengeance, which is the hell announced from eternity. Thus it is, as the Jxrd hath said. He has omitted nothing in the book which was for the pleasure of man. He has granted to him the passion of love for women, of affection lor children, for thoroughbred horses, for birds, and for every living thing, and for gold and silver heaped up a hundred-weights. And as He has also said, the stable of yoür horse shall drive away your enemies and those of your God. His shoulders are glory, his entrails are hidden treasures, and his neigh service to drive away tne devil and his armies. All this that has been said comes from the prophet (Mahoma) on the subject of horses, and on him may the prayer and the peace of God rest. And finally this testifies that the mare sold to Don Fuiane de Tal, of the illustrious Spanish nation, is one of the mares of puie blood and of the race of Koheylan Aguiz, is five years old. has a small star on the forehead and another small mark on the right foot. The present certificate has been written in the name of the bearer, and on the 5th day O: the holy month of ltatnazan, and in the year 1302. Ahmed. Farming iu the South.' The Southern Cultivator says: '"llefore the war provisions were raised at home and farmers grew-richer every year. The Bouth was wealthy then, but the war reduced us to poverty, and we made the mistake of trying to get rich again too fast. We became prac tically speculators, nsfcin? everything on the venture ot large cotton crops; and, like other speculators, while a few have made money the greater majority have lost it. The war left most farmers with their lands unencumbered: how many are free from mortgages .to-day. Mercantile centers have Wt u p rzi"m" nrnggj s the ind

It has been determined that &,V) pounds of corn products, including grain, cobs and stalks is equal in nutritive value to 0,il2 pounds of fay. Instead ol putting fertilizers on the wheat crop to help the grass, the plan should be reversed and fertilizers of all kinds should be put on the grass a year or two before it is 5-loughed for wheat or corn, says Judge arxes W. Waters. Diversified farming means fields of grain, meadows and pasture; a kitchen-garden ami orchard; a lawn with trees and Mowers; breeding mares and milch cows, sheep,

swine and poultry. Livestock is the groundwork, and will hold the soil fertile. Get that which is superior in all the departments. Prom the .best is where the profit tomes in. Mr. Edward M. TealL, in the Breeder's Gazette, upon feeding ensilage to cattle, says: "When fed to bulls it makes them sluggish end indifferent, and in the majority of cases of service the bull fails to get the cow in calf. When fed to cows long in calf, sav one or two months before calving, the calves have the woast kind of scours, and in'a large majority of cases the calf dies." A correspondent of the North Dritisu Agriculturist, writing from, a district where calves are generally reared by hand, says: 'I rear annually about twenty-five calves on five cows; I have been giving half milk, along with lactina and bruised cake. This season I have given half milk and farina mixed amongst tne milk, farina to beboilKl and prepared in' the usual way before mixing." Every bee master should take special pains in spring to ascertain constantly the amount of store each hive contains. If he has uncapped most of the honey, and this has resulted in a larger supply being required to maintain the increasing number of bees, it is evident the h?ve will starve unless syrup is applied to it, or honey in considerable-quantity is being gathered. A stimulated hive requires additional care in this respect, and iis wants must be supplied artificially if they are not satisfied naturally. There is no way to make good cheese except by using the whole milk. Skimming the milk at night, and adding the skim milk to the morning's milk, will not answer. It makos a fair quality of cheese, but the difference in the price of the better article will be more than the value of the cream taken off. Our Canadian neighbors, knowing this fact, have secured the English markets, where American cheese was once in demand. It does not pay to make a poor article. Tbere is a small gain at first, but a heavy loss in the end. It is very well for a farmer to turn a few sheep in a rough, neglected field and let them trim down the briars and weeds n he will provide them with sufficient kxh1 food. In this way the old held may be turned to good account by the foaling of sheep upon it, but Ior regular business one can not hope to raise sheep in this way. A good pasture, roots for winter feeding, well-made clover hay and good, careful attention and management are essential to success. Sheep are fond of a variety of food briars and weeds, and such thing?. Conhned to that diet they run down fast. They thrive on substantial food. Extracted honey should be thoroughly skimmed of all bits of comb, or other substances, before it is marketed. It is often damaged by being run into whisky barrels, which have charcoal on the inside of the staves, and particles of this get into the honey, spoiling its appearance. Clean barrels are indespensable. Comb honey must be white, well capped and put up in a neat, attractive manner. Only thus can the producer obtain the top figure of the market. In New York the principal demand is for honey in glassed sections, or in paper boxes. In the West such are unsalable. In Cincinnati the market requires it in unglassed sections, but with the crates glassed. Mr. James F.-Allen, of Webser Groves, St. Louis County, has a heifer possessing qualities of rather an unusual order. The heifer is three-fourth a Jersey, and was gotten with calf when only a year old. When she had carried the calf six months, through some accident or cause unknown, she lost it, and the heifer being rather small, and udder not very much developed, no thought of milking her was obtained. However, Mr. Ceorge King, a man of considerable experience with cows, and under whose charge the heifer was, began milking her, and she soon began developing quite surprising milking qualities, giving, on dry lood, about a gallon of very rich milk a day. By keeping her from the male for a few months, thus giving her a chance to grow before her second calving; and in the meantime continuing the milking, she premises to make a valuable cow. A correspondent of the Rural New Yorker says: "I have reason to believe that copperas will prevent the grape-rot. In a small vineyard in Massillon, O., where a quart of copperas to the square rod had been sown in July for three years there has been no rot, while other grains in same neighborhood have rotted more or less every year. They formerly rotted in this vineyard." According to the above the copperas, to be sown, must be pulverized. Whether the effects are due to the destruction of the spores or a deficiency of iron in the soil are not stated, as copperas (sulphate of iron is soluble, and also an excellent disinfectant. It is cheap and worth a trial. Perhaps in no State in the Union has there been more attention paid to the drainage than in that of Illinois and no farmer need go further to discover the good it has done, and is doing. Not only have lands too wet for cultivation been laid under tribute to the plow, the cultivator and the crop, but almost every kind of land known to the progressive farmers of thai great State has been underdrained, made to produce more and better, not alone in wet seasons, but in dry ones as well. To such an extent has this method been practiced and found profitable that there are not less than GOO tile factories in the State making a specialty of drain tile. It will be evident to any thinking man that this number of factories could not exist unless there was an immense demand for tile and that the demand would bave long since died out unless the farmers found it paid to use it.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS. To Make a Coal Fire. An expert says there is as much art in making a coal tire as there is in any other of the artsof housekeeping. In this season a fire should be made in the grate that will last through the day, giving a moderate heat and ventilation for the house. To do this, first clear the grate, then fill it up about half full of coal ; then make a wood fire, putting on only a few sticks of wood, which will burn slowly, gradually igniting the coal. The wood ashes on top of the coal will prevent its rapid consumption, ami o fi i"A fKnc firtif rMn"Tx. 1 Vtnrninfr elstarlvr with a moderate heat, will last all day. It is always good economy to put one or two sticks of wood on the top of a coal fire in a grate, as the ashes will prevent the coal from burning out fast and throw more largely the heat into the room. Pry it. Too much sweeping is going on in the average house, Marion Hariand thinks. The advisability of giving every apartment a vigorous "broom-cleaning" at least once a week has been so strenuously insisted upon by some notable horse-keepers that it has by many been converted into an imperative duty ; but looking at the matter in an un prc-iuiliced ncnt. one can not clear - se why a drawing-room, inhabited pfor'a few hours of the afternoon and rv--i;i or an unoccupied guest-chamber should require the same amount of purification de manded by a sewing, sitting or dining-room. The dust-pan and brush are labor-saving ma chines that do not receive due appreciation. Uy their aid in removing a little dust here and a little there the business of sweeping a whole room may be deferred at times, when at the first glance anything less than a complete routing out of furniture and dirt together would seem impossible. Deirnets Fets of the Nuns. This delicious dessert is prepared in the following manner Put one pint of milk in a saucepan, and when it boils thicken it with flour until it is so thick that the spoon will stand in it while it is still on the lire. Add one tablespoonml of butter and let it become cold. When cold add three teasjoocfuls of fine sugar, half a glass of wine or some other flavoring, a little crated nutmegs, the beaten yolks of four eggs, and last the whites of the eggs, which have been ueaten to a stiff froth. 15eat the mixture well for fifteen minutes. Have a kettle of boiling lard on the tire; drop the mixture into the fat: fry a delicate brown, When done, lay the beienets on a colander, sift powdered ugar over them nd cprre very White fruit cake The whites of ten eggs well beaten, two coffee-cupfuls powdered white sugar, one coffee-cupful butter, four coffee cupful3 flour, one coffee-cupful sweet miik, one teaspoenful soda, two teaspoonfuls cream tartar; flavor with rose and peach water; two pounds raisins stonned and chop ped, twp pounds currants, one pound citron sliced thin. Beat butter and sugar together till it is light; mix cream tartar in the flour before putting in the milk; then add flour and whites alternately, btir wed together, and add fruit till all is in. If baked in one pan bake about two hours. If divided, bake one. hour. ( over the bottom of nan with well buttered paper to insure it turning out nicely. If it should brown too fact, put a thick paper over top; if needed, under the pan ; bake slowly. Cheese Macaroni Throw a quarter of a pounp of macaroni, broken into pieces an inch long, into three pints of boiling water, with a laree pinch of salt. The saucepan should be large or the water will rise over when the macaroni boils fast, which it should do for twenty or twenty-five minutes. When done strain the macaroni through a colander. put it back into the saucepan with an ounce of fresh butter, a small pinch of "white pepper and salt, if necessary, and shake it over the fire a minute or two. put a fourth part of the macaroni on the dish, sprinkle over it half an ounce of grated cheese, and repeat this until two ounces of grated cheese are used. Serve immediately with crisp, dry toast, cut in neat pieces. Lemon Sauce. This will be found an ex cellent sauce for simple pudding. The ju'.ce of a large lemon, one tablespoonful of cornflour, an ounce of butter, a wineglassful of sherry, and a gill of water. Mix the cornHour smoothlv with the water; add the sugar, lemon juue and butter. Beat the yelks of three ecss and mix them gradually with the rest. Let it come to just within theboilniii point. If it boils it will curdle, and the sauce be spoilt.

They were fed and killed by government employes, and turned in for the use.oi the school as beet in tne name ot during the quarter ending June 30, 1885. The above area portion ol the charges pre ferred against Agent Wheeler, and the testi mony in support of them is positive and voluminous. The witnesses gave days and dates, and the books and papers of the agent corroborated most of their evidence. The inspector agreed to furnish us a copy of the evidence, but has failed so far to do so. No one could read it without being convinced that Mr. Wheeler was guilty of gross irregularities. His defense was deciOedly gauzy, and the department will certainly invite him to step down and out. He admitted that he fattened hogs at the agency and turned them into the Government in another man's name as beef, and stated in defense of this crooked transaction that he did not know he was violating any law or regulation and had no intention of defrauding the Government, lie also admitted the purchasing of cows from Indians and turning them into the Government for beef in another man's name, and in defense of this act made the same statement he made about the hogs. He also admitted that he opened a letter in the Postoffice at the agency that was addressed and belonged to a man by tne name of Ihompson. He also admitted celling a set of new Government harness, but claimed that he had previously issued the same harness to an Indian and then purchased them from the Indian. It was proven lhat the harness had never been delivered to the Indian at all. He also admitted freighting with agency teams for private parties, but plead in defense that the same parties hauled freight for the Government without charge, and that he freighted for them with the Government teams to pay them for their work. This is a fair sample of his defense all the way through, but it seemed to satisf y the inspector, and he not only refused to suspend Wheeler, but, we are informed, stated at Casa Grande that he would advise the denaitnient to letain him as agent. A number of other charges would have been made and proven, but the inspector insisted that he had to be m i uma on the 2d of Jan nary, and the prosecution closed their case in oiuer w- felvc ueeiei a uiiiimc i" uu m his defense.

Only Halt Alive. There are hosts of men aud women who, to coin a phrase, arc only half alive. That is to say, they have seldom if any appetite, are nervous, weak, fidgettv and troubled by numberless Ktnall pains and aches.
