Cooking Peed for Dnlrr Cows. Prairie Farmer Some twenty yeir ? ago tluro was a strong inyvenii-nt in favor of feeding oookod food to tock of all kind" , and particularly to dairy envvs. Tim ropirt of the agricultural department mont for l OI contained a very able sM-ti clo mi the subject , from the pen of Prof. K W Stewart , which had a decided ill' Ihu'iioe on the publio mind. Large mini bi-rs of onterpiising and piogrc'sivi fanners perfected arrangements foi iti-nming or otherwise cooking the fooi' for their dairy and other stock. The movement In favor of cooking food foi slut k , however , has retrograded rather than advanced. Twenty 3ear * have now elapsed since the period first mentioned , and less food is now cooked fo1' tarm an tinal- than tlu-n. The practice involve labor , which is oxnnnshe , to save feed , which is cheap. The Farmers' club , ol KlmiraN.Y. , several years ago took some pains to gather statistics Irom severa' dairy farms where cows were fed steainei ha } and grain , the food cooked and fed in warm stables. A like number of dairy farms were visited where the co\vs were fed on uncooked provender of similar character hay and straw. From all these farms wore obtained the records ol milk production and lignrcs approxima ting accuracy relating to amount of Inij and grain , having reference also to value When these figures vveie subjected to analysis It was found that in every in stance a quart of milk obtained from un cooked food was produced at less cent than a quail from cooked food , and in the latter case no charge was made foi the labor of cooking and culling Ihe foil tier , winch arc Hems of some importance. It will bo borne in mind that labor is more abundant and fodder higher priced in New York than in siate.s farther west lu addition to other causes , the increas ing practice of preserving coarse feed bj ensilage has doubtless contributed to bring cooking food for animals into disuse. Ilium on Ilorsc Hunts , There is n point to bo observed in tit- ting a barn for the reception of horses , sa s a writer in the National Live .Stock Journal , and thai is the .size of the stall. The narrow dimensions of the stall are a positive cruelty lo the horse , la stalls ai built too narrow to enable the horse to extend his limbs when lying down. He is compelled , when in a re- ciinilient position , lo double his limbs up under him , his legs arc thus kept In a er.nnpi-d position when lie oiiilit to bo completely at rest. A narrow stall tends to make a here restive anil tm- i-av , and Ireipiently induces him to kick violently against the contracted Mdi s of Ins narrow prison , and develop1 in him the objectionable practice of crib biting. Still another cause of great needless - less siillei in" ; is occasioned to the here by keeping him lied up by the head. In order to enable a horse to sleep comfort ably , he should be able to lie down at full length , limbs extended , and hib head renting on the floor Tliis he is often unable to do , owing to the short halter-strap , which will not allow him to rest the lower portion of the head on the Jloor , and the extraordinary ills- comfort of the position in which the poor beast is thereby compelled to beck his natural rest can be better imagined than described. _ Xrunsfurrln ; ; n Homestead Claim. Prairie Farmer ; Until a man gets his patent or deed , lie has no title to tr.ms- Icr , and he cannot assign ids right to others lo fill out his term of occupation. Yet alter one li.is got posies-ion of a home-lead , and its value has increased , it is quite e.titomary > lo sell out his inlor- est , which often amounts to considerable in layor.ible. and rapidly settling up lo calities. Il is done in Ibis way. A second pai ty may agree to give him say $ . ,00 lor ids righU and improvements. A bargain to this , ellect is made. One of two courses may then be adopted. He may Irom the proceeds of the sale , pay S'-'UO ' ( .Jl.'J.'i per aero ) to the government for a full title , and by agreement assign this to the purchaser on iU > reception. Or , if the pun hascr prefers , they may proceed as lollows : They go together to the district laud oflieo , alone if possible , and the occupant hands a paper to the register "renouncing" Ins homestead claim. That moment it becomes government land again , and the second man at once , before anyone else can get ahead of him liles his. homestead claim on tlie same plot najing the $ > ! 1. Ho is then where the homesteader was at the start , only that ho has the advantage ot any improve ments made. He must hold it live year * , unless in the meantime lie buy.s it , or dis poses of his interest in the same way that he got possession. As wo understand it someone man ( or womanmiist ) be in con tinuous occupation for the full period of live years before the tree government patent is issm d. Often theie arc many such transfers , and in the midst of thriv ing settlements of many years' .slanding there are lands deeded to anyone , but held by such occupation , though sumo of tin-in arc now woith § 10 to ij''U ' an acre or even more. The lljt-.se'ti ' Tool. Country Ocnllonian : Hev. J. C. Woods , speaking of the horde's foot , avs that the horse is not furnished with iniiicles fitted for lifting heavy weights at the end of its legs , and , therefore , the foot is care fully made as light as possible. The hoof , therefore , inu.st bo light. Jt must bo hard , so as to endure contact with sharp-elided rock , a .sun-baked soil , or loose Ktoues , It must be. elastio , in order 10 obviate llio .jar which would lie caused by the concussion of a hard and unyield ing substance with the hard and unyield ing ground. Jt must bo sharp-edged , to give the animal a looting on rocks or un even ground. Jt must bo clinging , so as to save Ihe horse from falling on a wet , slippery or fro/.en surface. Lastly , as the hoof must be perpetually worn away , it must be eap.iblo ot self-repair in exact proportion to the loss of material. Saving Hoi ; .Manure. Like sheep , with many farmers , siilli- cient care is not taken to properly save the manure from hogs , and no special pains are taken to increase the amount. .manuro from hogs , especially when fatted , as they generally are , on corn fed in iho oar , is very valuable , and when combined with the cobs , becomes par- licularly > o If allowed lo lie too long , it is not as good tor corn as some other kinds , because it becomes infested with too many worms. It is course , and should be gathered up and applied before - fore it wastes too much by lying out ov pOM-d to the weather. Ordinarily there is not a very largo nii.intily of this Kind of manure made on Ihe farm , but if morn care wore taken in providing plenty of good shelter and a good dry floor to feed llio stock on , furnishing thorn with a .snllloioiit supply of bedding to keep them comfortable , the quantity could be considerably in creased. The pens should always bo kept clean. If tlie floors lira made slightly slanting. this work can bo made easier. As with ail other manure , except what is used in the garden , I prefer to mini out as fast as 1 can find linic lo tlo the work ; I prefer to iso on root crops , although it is valuable for all kinds of crops' , and can bo applied uolitably. Kotted corn-cob * nro a valuable fcrtil- ver on any soil Inat is dol'clent ' in pot , ! , , mil are wortti saving for this purpose ilotio. while if rotted with manure they ire considerably more valuable , and in cleaning nn the hogpen considerable wins -slioulu bo hikun to gather np and nix thom vvith thu niKiiuro.

AVnjHiil'1'rc cfvlns I U * for Winter. As the M'a-on is close at hand when fowls quit Ining , the provident tioii e- keeper desireto put away enough eggs for winter , : ind variou * method1 ! are cm- ployed. A writer in the I'rairie Tanner saj s they may be parked in oul-s small end down , but if the dish rnnlamhi" then is set where it Is damp the outs will bo likely to become musty and hurl thu thn or of the eggs. The ) will keep a limited tinio packed inalt. ( . but the yolks will often settle ngaint the -hell , leli- dcring tlio eggs worthless. They are sometimes packed in dry ashes out if these are very stiong , they are apt to cook the ogi's , and this w ay is not to bo recommended. 1 have seen good housekeeper - keeper * nil a colander vv ilh egg and pour over them a whole teakettle of boil ing water befoie packing them away. Tlio theory of this is that the hot water slightly cooks the ouSide of the egg nest the .shell . o that the remainder is lerfeetly ' ' air tight , and thus preserves I' 'ie . inside | > aits. Another way is to slake fresh lime , making it about the thickness of hasty pudding. Then to one gallon of water put two tuacupfuls of this and one teacupful - cupful of common salt. Stir this until dissolved , then put in an egg , and if it rises to thu top it is too .strong. Add water until the egg will sink to thu bottom. When of the right strength , pack the eggs in a jar , put a plate or a light board ou the top to keep them under the liquor , ami pour it over them. The eggs must be covered by the mixture or the ) will spoil. They' will keep this way along time : but it the liquor is made too strong it will eat the shell. Another way is to pack them in small boxes , and when one is full nail it up and tuinitovcr oneo a week. They should bo packed in salt or bran , so as not to toueh each other. This Is said to bo the Direst wa ) to keep eggs fora te\v months. Sonip claim to have good success by greasing the shell witli lard , and then packing in bran. Cold storage is also a good tiling , but tinforttinaiel ) every olio lias not s-uch a convenience. Various llliwls unit Surest Ions. Tlio chiet i equities for Mieeo-fnl winter dairying are warm , well in ranged stables , or cattle houses , good cow- , ) ) leut.of . rich teed , and pure w.itor with chill t.iken oil' , and thu most scrupulous neatness in all the opeiations of the dairyman , troin the stuijlo to the packing of tlie butter for shipment. Linseed meal is laxative , while cotton seed meal is the rcver-o. The use of the former in the toed of IIOI'M'.S , if given in small quantities three times a week , will loosen the .skin anil greatly a sit the ani mal in condition. A mixture of the two substances , if given to milch cow * , great ly increase the How of milk and adds to its quality. For mothers and breeding ewer , it sfionld in1 n-od in moderate quan tities and always in connection with plenty of hay or straw. Linseed meal should bo used rather as a condition powder th.in as a part of the food , but cottonseed meal may bo fed more liberal ly to milch eiWi and growing stock. W , F. Urovvn > a ) , in the Indiana ! armor , it is a commou practice to throw the manure from Hie stable out of a win dow and allow it to accumulate in a heap against the barn , where it ro's ' the build ing and of ton contaminates tlio air of the stable. Fresh manure should never bo loll in a conical heap. 1'rolmbly the best way to manage it , is to spread it evenly in an adjoining shed in which stock js Kept lee > e to tramu it. , Jf , Jjowyvuiviti i < ?

A writer in the American Cultivator tolls how ho preserved apples and kept , them Iresh and good for eighteen or twenty mouths , lie takes tlio apples ripe and Iresh Iroiu thutrees , , in ( , he tall ot the year , but late jn the X'o on , and covers them withdr/ , line , coal ashes tea a depth of fourteen to eighteen inches , lie has applet that have passed two win- tus thus prc.sen ed , out ot doors , exposed to ram and frost , and yet the fruit came out fresh ami fair. He thinks oilier arti cles may be kept in the same manner. It is really surprising to observe the great dill'orcnco in feeding cattle. An examination of the manure heap , of onu farm will show that no ioddur is wasted , while the examination of that of another will show that at least one-half of the coarse fodder is wasted , though in qual ity it is qnitu as good as that wliieh is led out without waste , and if the cattle bo ex amined it will , as a rule , bo found that those which are fed o as to eat tlio fodder - dor up clean are in better oonditioil than those lli.it waste theirlooil ; thus showing that the feeding of cattle well not only prevents waste , but also Secures a butter condition ol the animals I'oultr ) raisers should not neglect to use sulliciont raw bone , either crushed erin in the tormof meal. It contains lime , as do also oyster shells , but it also contains animal matter which is ot great value. Hone when burnt is of comparatively lit tle value over ester sliulls , but when crushed or ground raw , supplies value peculiar to itself. All classes of poultry urn extremely fond of it. Care should be taken to liavoit pure and sweet. It is good lor all elas e and ages of poultry. For young chicks it should bo used in tlio term ol meal , mixing a small quantity two or throe limes a week with tht'irott iced , sa ) one quart to a bushel oi corn meal. The question is often asked : Is there any value to cob meal" and will it pa ) to havu the cobs ground ? If the cobs were to bo ground separate , and the meal fed to thu cattle unmixed with the corn-meal , it is very doubtful if it would pay ; but when the corn is ground with the col ) and the meal thus mixed , it is hi > llc\cd by those who luive tried it that it \vijl pay in fij t , thai it would pay even if the Mb contained no nutritive qualities , 1m- cause of the mechanical clloct which the cob meal has on the corn im al in the ani mal's stomach.Vlicncorn meal is led nnniix'cd it lays heavy in the stomach , and is readily mixed with the liquid that is so important to hasten digestion. A stock-breeder know.s by tlio looks of the hair of an animal whether it is in a thrhing condition or not. HP knows that a change Irom a smooth , glossy co.it to one rough and dead-looking , is almost the lust indication of a derange ment ot the vital functions , and that it is much nasicr to make a good coat bad than to make a bad coat good. Now wool is nothing moru than hair , modified by the breeder's art , but Mill just ns'siiscop- liblo to bodily inlluoiico a.s In ordinary hair , in fact more so , for it is nioio doh- cato in tt'.xtiuo and construction. And as it is one of the principal products tor which wo keep sliuep it behooves us to guard against any inllueiicos which in jure its quality. Among other qualities bought lor in wool by the manufacturers are lustru and strength of libro. The quality of seine goods is in fact duo to tlio brilliant lustre given it by _ the wool , ; iS for example dolaines and alp-teas. Some wools possess this liistio naturally more than others , Out , us Intimated above , the condition of the sheep will liavo much to do with it.

A tionu Lost. Son Turns t"x > A ft or nn Abscticc orTwen j-T\\o Years. The little to\\uhip of Alexandria , in llunterdou county , New Jcrso ) , had a Christmas uuuauce worthy of a great novelist. When the war for the union was half over young Mablon llulri/or , then 20 ) oars old , left the old f aim in llnntordon county and enliMed for the war. lie left at home a father and moth er , and a sister and younger brother. He was soon in the thick of the light , but ent letters legularly to the old homestead. One day , late in 'Git , he was captured by the confederates and taken to a town on the South Carolina coast. There , with eleven others , he wa Kept prisoner. One night the twelve escaped and put to sea in a small boat. When the ) were a fen miles trom the coast the boat was upset b ) a large wave , and ten out of the twelve were lost , llulri/er and a com pamon escaped. They clung to the hot toin of the boat , and were picked up in the morning by a Ireight vessel bound to Cuba No persuasions could induce the captain to tmn back. When Cuba was leached the ) oting men for Hulrm-r's companion w us ) oung found themselves uttorl ) destitute. They managed to get a little work , and jinally vviotc h-ttcis home. Hut the leitei.s never reached their destination. Weeks rolled on with out any reply , and the men at last joined an enlurmisf that was to work the nitrate beils m Ivru , and they wont on to South America They wore given a .sharo in tlie com pany , and soon began to make money. The beds proved to bo very productive and valuable. Home was not foigotten al the ' tart , hut no letters ever left the coast for the north until after the war was over , and by the time the war was over llnlri/or and his fiiend had slopped writing They prospeied , ami deter mined to amass a fortune before return ing home , liiisinoss and a ionilncss for the country finally ovcicamc even that determination , however , and when they they got rich the ) staid where they were in order to get richer. At last both of them married wealthy Permian women , and began rearing families , and so it happened that the old Jersey tarm was jorgotteii , except as trade brought thorn in contact with Americans. ' 1 lion the war botwween Peril and Chili Incke out a lew ) eais ago , and a great deal of thu foitnno made vva * lost and hail to lie re gained. Toward this work ever ) energy was bent , and thoughts of homo became well nigh obliterated. At home there was a history. When letters ceased to come Irom tlie soldier ho ) anxiety followed Then the convic tion became settled ( hat the son was dead. All shared in this belie ! except David , the older son. lie did not give up hope , ami dually 'induced his lather. w lion the war had ended , to go south and see if any trace could bo found. Oidina- rily the task would have uceii hopeless , bill luck was with them , anil the ) suc ceeded in learning about thu capture and the escape of the prisoners , among whom was the man the > sought. They learned that the boat had floated in to shore , bottom tom upvvaid , and that ten dead bodies were washed up at various points along thu beach. The lather gave his son up entirely , but David believed his brother had been one of the two to escape It was .strange , of eour-o , that in the event of Ills escape no news had come Irom him. But David had read of stranger things , and allowed himself to believe that stiange things sometimes oc curred outside of lid ion. So , while all at home mourned for Mahlon , David keiit a good heart. Ho said lie would find him some day. Ton years ago ho went to New York and engaged in biisines- , and in five ) oar.s had made his way to a good business position and had married well , One da ) , a little less than a year ago , a friend ol his i the South American trade remarked that a man b ) the mime of llulri/er was a largo nitrate-bed owner. Upon finding that thu first name was Malilou , David felt sure his prediction had come Into. To make a long story short , ho wrote , and received word from his brother. Sending his family to thu farm in Jliinterdou county. David sailed last spring lor Peru , and received a warm welcome from his brother. lie wanted Mahlon to return al once with him , but business rendered it impossible. He told David to remain with him a few mouths , and then ho would come homo with his family and spend a year in his native country David consented , after finding that his family and business here would permit. A few week * ago the brothers sailed Irom Peru. They reached New Votrk Christ mas morning , and Christmas 'night the old farm resounded with the welcome , and the old folks knew no bound to their joy. Neighbors and Iriends Hocked to see' the lon -lost boy , and they all think the story ot ICnoeh Arden is discounted in their own experience. Athlcti'1 sports may now be said lo form part ol the course ol education in all schools and colleges. There is a dan ger , however , that they may sometimes lie indulged in to a hurtful degree , and experienced athletes ahyas counteract the eH'cets of severe training by thorough application * ol St. Jacobs Oil. This strengthens' iho miiH'los and makes the limbs firm and elastic. Paper Kailroads1. To the Kdilor : I have noticed in the HLI : , of late , freipiuut editorial allusions' in a somewhat sarcitsliu vein , to the building ol "paper" railroads in Nebras ka. No doubl there liuve buen numerous instances of initiatory proceedings being taken in thu vva ) of tiling niticln * of in corporation , etc. , without anything tan gible resulting Admitting this , I would call attention to the fact that the Burlington means business every tinm , and I cannot recall an instance wherein that company has not actively followed up its preliminary announcement by the actual building of the projected railroad. Probably there has boon no time within thu past three years w hen the liiirllngton has not had a now branch line in piocoss of construction. I call attention ( o this matter because I am convinced that in speaking of build ing "paper" railroads , a menial reserva tion should to made in favor ot thu cor poration named , It is sate to set down as a fact that Iho Hurliiiglon system is managed by busy inun who arc animated by a steady pur- POM _ ) , which does not admit of a waste of time in building "paper" roads.

Will pny lUstcmnns' ilruft with lull of luJUijr attached , tor tvro-tlitriU vuluu of slock \Vlmt Is a Cold ? The laiicet. It is startling to discover how little we know about the common forms of disease For example , a ' cold" what is it" How is it produced , and in what does it consist' It is easy to say a cold i * a chill. A chill of w hat part of thu organism ? \\'e know by daily experience that Ihe body as a whole , or any of its parts may be reduced to a considerably lower temperature than will sulliee lo give a man a cold if the so t ailed chill bo inflicted upon the suitace suddenly. I.s it , then , the suddenness of a reduction ot temperature that causes the cold' ' It would be strange it il weie so , because lew ol the mo-t susceptible of mortals would take cold tiom simply handling a piece ol cold metal or accidental contact with ice. The truth would seem to be , that what we call cold taking is the result ol a stillicient impression ot cold to re duce the vital energy ol nerve centres presiding over the lunctions in special organs. If this be the tact it i.s eas.v to see whj nature has provided the stimulus ol a stiong lit ot sneering to 10110 the dormant centres and enable them at once to icsunie work and avoid evil touse- qiicnces. This explains why the worst elloets of cold do not , as a rule , follow up a "chill" vyliich excites much snee/.ing. bluvering is a less ellcetivc com ulsion lo ietore the paiuled nervous energy , but , in a lower degree , it may answer the same purpose. The shivering that results Irom the ell'ccl of a poion ol tlie nervous centres is a totally diUcront matter We speak only of the quick muscular agita tion and teeth-chattering which occur whenever the body is exposed to cold and ev il results do not ensue. It lollows , from what we have said , that the natural indi cation lo ward oil'tho eH'oels of a chill is to restore the vital energy of the nerve centres , and there is no more potent in lluence by which to attain this object than a sii'jng and sustained cfl'oit ol the will.
