Conking l-'ooil for Onlry Cows. 1'rainc I'armcrSome twenty s\ffi \ thrru w.ts a strong movcnieut in f trur of foiMling rookoil food to stock of all kinds , and particularly to dairy cows. The report of the agricultural depart ment for W3 contained n very able I'.rli- He mi the subject , from the pen of I'rof. 1 W SU-wart , which had a ducidcd in- lliiencc on thu jiiibllu mind. Large mnn- bers of enterpihintf anil irogresivo ) fanners porfeetod nrrangemonts for stc-iininy or otherwise cooking tin * food for their dairy and other .stock. The movement in favor of cooking food for sl i < k , however , has retrograded rather than advanced. Twenty jears have now elai-'ed since the perioit liot mentioned , and losi food i.s now cooked fo > - tarm an imals than then. The practice involves labor , which is c-xiiensiye. to save feed , which In cheap , ' ( 'lie Farmers' club , of Klmira.N.V. , several years ago took < > omo pains to gather statistics trom several dairy farms where cows wore fed steamed hay and grain , the food cookud and fud in warm stables. A like number of dairy farms W ( re visited where the cows were fed on uncooked provender of .similar character hay and straw. From all these farms wore obtained the records of milk production and ligures approxima ting accuracy relating to amount of hay and gram , having reference also to value. \ \ hen these figures wci o subjected to analysis it was found that in every in stance a quart of milk obtained from un cooked food was produced at less cot than ft quart from cooked food , and in the latter ease no charge was made for thu labor of cooking and cutting the fodder der , which are items of some importance. It will be bonus in mind that labor Is more abundant and fodder higher priced in New York than in states farther west. In addition to other causes , the increas ing practice of picMsrving course feed by ensilage has doubtless contributed to bring cooking food for animals into disuse. on Horse There is a point to bo observed in tit- ting a barn for the reception of horses , hsij'.s a writer in the National Live .Stock .lonrnal , and that is tlie .si/.e of the stall. The narrow dimensions of the stall are a tiositiyu cruelty to the horse. Many stalls are built too narrow to enable the horse to extend his limbs when lying down , lie is compelled , when in a re- C'limlietit position , to double his limbs up under him ; his legs are thus kept in a er.itnped poiitioii when he ou ht to be completely at rust. A narrow -tall tends to make a liorso restive anil nn- ea v , and frequently induces him to kick violently against the contracted Mdcs ot Ins narrow prison , and develops in him the objectionable practice of crib- biting. Still another cause of great needless - less sulicringis occasioned to the lior-e by keeping him tied up by the head. In order to enable a hor-e to sleep comfort ably , he .should be able to lie down at lull length , limbs extended , and his head resting on the lloor. This ho is often unable to dp , owing to the short halter-strap , which _ will not allow him to rest the lower portion of the head on Hie Jloor , and the extraordinary dis comfort of tin ; po.-ition in which the poor beast is thereby compelled to i-ecfc his natural rest can be better imagined than described. a Homestead Claim. Prairie Farmer : Until a man gets his patent or deed , he has no title to trans fer , and he cannot assign hi- , right to otheis to till out his term of occupation. Yet after ono h.is got po > -es-ion of a home.-tead , and its value has increased , il is quite c.n-.lomary to sell out his inter est , which often amounts to considerable in favorable and rapidly settling up lo calities. It is done in this way. A second party may agree to give him say $ oOO for iiis rights and improvements. A bargain to this ell'ecl is made. One of two courses may then be adopted. lie may from the proceeds of the sale , pay $ ' 'UU ( . ? 1-'J3 per aero ) to the government for : i full title , and by agreement assign this to the purchaser on lU reception. Or , if the purchaser prefers , they may proceed as lollows : They go together to the district land oflicn , alone it poiblo , and the occupant handsa iwper to the register "renouncing" his homestead claim. That moment it becomes government land ag.iin , and the second man at once , before anyone eNo can get ahead of him tiles Ids homestead claim on the same plot pacing the $11. lie is then where the homesteader was at the start , only that lie has the advantage ot any improve ments made. Jlo must hold it live years , uiilesa in the meantime he buys it , or dis poses of his interest in the same way that lie got possession. As we understand it boinii emi man ( or womanmust ) bo in con tinuous occupation for the full period of live years before the free government patent is ISMH d. Often there are many such transfers , and in the midst of thriv ing settlements of many years' standing there are lands deeded to anyone , but held by such occupation , though some of them arc now worth $10 to if'JU an acre or even more. The H.u'.se'H Koot. Country Gentleman : Hev. J. C. Woods , speaking of the liorso V foot , says that the horse is not furnished with muscles lilted for lifting heavyweights at the end of its legs , and , therefore , the foot is care fully made as light as possible. The hoof , therefore , must bo light. It must be hard , so as to endure contact with hharp-edged rock , a sun-baked boil , or looie stones. It must be elastie , In order to obviate the jar which would lo caused by the concussion of a hard and unyield ing substance with the hard and unyield ing ground , It must lie sharp-edged , to give the animal a looting on rocks or un even ground. It must be clinging , so as to save the horse from falling on a wet , slippery or fro/.en surface. Lastly , as the hoof iiniit bo perpetually worn away , it must bo capable ot self repair in exact proportion to the loss of material. r > iivli ) Uotf Manure , Like shoe ] ) , with many fanners , sulll- cient care is not taken to properly sa\o the manure trom hogs , and no special p.iins are taken to increase the amount. JSlanuro from hogs , especially when fatted , as they generally are , on corn fud in the oar , is very valuable , and when combined with the cobs , becomes par ticularly o If allowed to lie too long , it is not a > good for corn as some other kinds , becnuso it becomes infoatcd with too many worim It is coarse , and should be g.ithored up and applied be fore it wastes lee much by lying out exposed - posed to the weather. Ordinarily there is not a very largo quantity of this Kind of manure made on tlio farm , but if morn care wore taken in providing plenty of good shelter and a good dry lloor to teed the stock on , furnishing them with a sullleiont supply of bedding to keep them comfortable , the quantity could be considerably in creased. The iwns should always bo kept clean. If the floors are made slightly slanting. this work can bo made easier , As with all other manure , except what is used in ( ho garden , 1 prefer to mini out as foul as 1 can liml tiiiiu U ) do the work ; 1 prefer to use on root crops , although it is valuable for all hinds of crops , ana can bo applied [ irolitably. Hotted corn-cobs are a valuable fertil izer on tiny soil that is doliclent in ngtsr.'i , uid are worth saving for this purpose alone , whllu if rotted with manure they are considerably more valuable , nnd in cleaning up the hogpen considerable pains should bo taken to gather up and mix thorn \\ith the. mKiinre.

Tor Winter. As the * cn-on is close at hand when fowls quit la ) ing. the provident house keeper desires to put away enough eggs for winter , and various methods are cm- ployed A writer in the 1'rairic Tanner -aj's they may be packed in o.ilsmall end down , but if the dish contamiii" then is set where it is damp the oats will be likely to become musty and hurt the flavor of the eggs. The.\ will keep a limited time packed in salt , but the yolks \\ill often settle against the shell , ren dering the eggs worthless. They are sometimes parked in dry ashes , but if these are very sliong. they are apt to cook the eggs , and this waj is not to bo recommended. 1 have seen good house keepers till a colander \\ithoggsand pour over them a whole teakettle of boil ing water before packing them away , The theory of this is that the hot water slightly cooks the outside of the egg next ihe shell so that the remainder is perfectly air tight , and thus preserves the inside parts. Another way is to slake fresh lime , making it about the thickness of hasty pudding. Then to ono gallon of > \ liter put t\\o teacupfuls of this and one teacupful - cupful of common salt. Stir this until dissolved , then put in an egg , and if it rises to the top it is too strong. Add water until the egg will sink to the bottom. When of the right strength , pack the eggs in a jar , put a plate or a light board on the top to keep them under the liquor , and pour it over them. The eggs must be covered by the mixture or they will spoil. They' will keep this way a long time ; but if the liquor is made lee strong it will eat the shell. Another way is to pack them in small boxes , and when one is full nail it up and turnito\er once a week. They should be packed in salt or bran , so as not to touch each other. This is said to be the surest wa > to keep eggs fora few months. Some claim to ha\e good sm-cess by greasing the shell with lard , and then packiii" in bran. Cold storage is also a good thing , but unfortunaiclj every out lias not such a convenience. A'itrlons lllivls and The chief requisites for successful winter dairying are warm , well arranged stables , or cattle houses , good cows , plenty of rich feed , and pure water with chill taken on" , and the most scrupulous neatness in all the opetatioiis of the dairyman , from the t-laulo to the packing of the butter for shipment. Linseed ineal is laxative , while cotton seed meal is the reverse. The use of the former in the feed of horses , if given in small quantities three times a week , will loosen the skin and greatly a iit the ani mal in condition. A mixture of the two substances , if given to milch cows , great ly increases the llovv of milk and adds to its quality. For mothers and breeding ewe , it should bo1cd \ \ in moderate quan tities and always in connection with plenty of hay or straw. Linseed meal should be used rather as a condition powder than as a part of the food , but cottonseed meal may bo fed more liberal ly to milch cows and growing stock. W. V. Hrowit tays , in the Indiana I'armer , it is a common practice to throw the manure from tlio stable out ot a win dow and allow it to accumulate in a heap against the barn , where it ro's ' the build- in ! ; and often contaiuiuulos the air of the stable. Fresh m.inure should never be left in a conical heap. 1'robably the best , way to manage it is to spread it evenly in an adjoining shed in which .stock is Kept loose to iramu it. Jf , jiowyvej\it ! i < f put out of doors , it * pfioiild ! ilw'iiy lB ) wheeled away from the building and mixed with the cow manure and waste Irom the straw stacks. A writer in the American Cultivator tells how ho preserved apples and kept them fresh and good for eighteen or twenty months , lie takes the apples ripe and fresh from the , trees , in ( Jie tall ot the year , but late in 'the .season , and covers them with dry , line , coal ashes tea a depth of fourteen to eighteen inches. Jle has apples that have passed two win- tu-s thus preserved , out ot doors , exposed to ram and frost , and yet the fruit came out fresh and fair , lie thinks other arti cles may be kept in the same manner. It is really .surprising to ob-ervo the great diU'eience in feeding cattle. An examination of the manure heap , of one farm will show that no toddor is wasted , while the examination of that of another will show that at least one-half of the coarse fodder is wasted , though jn qual ity it is quite as good as that which is fed out without waste , and if the cattle be ex amined it will , as a rule , be found that these which are fed so as to eat the fodder der up clean are in better eonditioil than those that waste their food ; thus showing that the feeding of cattle well not only prevents waste , but also .syeurcs a better condition of the animals. 1'oultry raisers should not neglect to Use siillicient raw bone , either crushed erin in the form of meal. It contains llmons _ do also oyster shells , but it also contains animal matter which is ol great value , Mono when burnt is of comparatively lit- lle value over oyster shells , but when crushed or ground raw , suppljes value peculiar to itself. All classes of poultry are extremely fond of il. Care should betaken taken to haveit pure and sweet. It is good for all clashes and age-i of poultry. For young chicks it should bo used in the lorm of meal , mixing a annrll quantity two or three limes a week with their soil feed , saj one quart to a bti-licl ol corn meal. The question is often asked : Is there any value to cob meal ? and will il pa ) to have the cobs jrroundy If thu cobs wcro to be ground separate , and the meal fed to the cattle unmixed with thocorn-nieal , it is very doubtful if il would pay ; but when the corn is ground with the cob and the meal thus mixed , it is believed by the o who have tried it that it vvijl pay in fyvt , that it would pay even If thu * obs contained no nutritive qualities , bo- caiisc of the mechanical ellcct Which the cob meal has oi ; the corn meal in the ani mal's stomach. When corn meal is ted unmixed it lays heavy in the stomach , and is readily mixed with the liquid that is no important to hasten digestion. A Mock-breeder knows by the looks of the hair of an animal whether it is in a thriving condition or not. Ho knows that a change from a .smooth , glossy coat to one rough ami dead-looking , is almost the lifst indication of a derange ment ot the vit.tl functions , and that it is much easier to make a good coat bad than to make a bail coat good. Now wool is nothing more than hair , modilicd by the breeder's art , but Mill just iis'suscop- tiblo to bodily inllucnco as is ordinary hair , in fact more so , for it is moio deli cate in texture and construction. And as it is one of tlio principal products for vvhicli wo keep sheep it bohoov cs us to guard against any inlluencos which in jure its quality. Among other qualities sought for in wool by the manufacturers are lijatru and strength ot lib re. The quality of some goods is in fact due to the brilliant lustre given it bytho wool , aS for cx'tuuplo delaines and alphas. Some wools posse this lustre naturally more than others , but , us intimated above , the condition of the sheep v.'ill have much to do with it.

A IIOIIK IjOst Son Turns ln After nn Absence of Twenty-Two Years. The little township of Alexandria , in Hunterdon county , New Jersej , had a Christmas romance worthy of a great novelist. When the war for the union was half over young Mahlon llulri/er , then 20 j ears old , left the old farm in Hunterdon county and enlisted for the war. He left at home a father and moth er. and a sister and youtigcr brother. He was soon in the thick of tlio light , but cnt letters regularly to the old "homestead. One day , late in 'IKI , lie was captured by the confederates and taken to a town on the South Carolina co.ist. There , w ith elcyeii others , he wa kept prisoner. One night the twelve ( " -capod and put to st > a in a small boat. When they wre a few miles Irom the coast the boat was up et bj a large wave , and ten out of the twelve were lost , llulri/er and a com panion escaped. They clung to the bottom tom of the boat , and were picked up in the morning by a Ireight vessi 1 bound to Cuba. No persuasions could induce the captain to turn back. When Cuba was reached the joting men lor Hulriyer's companion was young found themselves utterly destitute. They managed to get a little work , and finally wtolo letters home. Hut the loiters never reached their destination. Weeks rolled on with out any reply , and the men at last joined all enterprise that was to work the nitrate beds in Porn , and they went on to South America. They were given a .share in the com pany , and soon began to make money. The beds proved to bo very productive nnd valuable Home was not forgotten at the start , but no letters over left the coast for the north until alter the war was over , and by the time the war was over Hulriycr and his friend had slopped writing. Thepiospered , ami deter mined to amass a fortune before return ing home. Husiness and a fondness for the country finally overcame even that determination , however , and when they they got rich they staid where they were in order to get richer. At last both of them married wealthy Peruvian women , and began rearing 'families , and so it happened that the old Jersey larm was forgotten , except as trade brought them in contact with Americans , Then the war betwwocn Peru and Chili broke out a few years ago , and a great deal of the fortune made was hist , and bail to lie re gained. Toward this work evert\ energy was bent , and thoughts of home became well nigh obliterated. At home there was a history. When letters ceased lo come from the soldier boy anxiety followed. Then the convic tion became settled that the son was dead. All shared in lids beliel except David , the elder son. He did not give up hope , and Until ly 'induced his father. when the war had ended , to go south and see if any trace could be found. Ordina rily the task would Irive Dcen hopeless , but luck was with them , and they suc ceeded in learning about the capture and the escape of the prisoners , among whom was the man they sought. They learned that the boat had floated in to shore , bottom tom upward , and that ten dead bodies were washed up at various points along the beach. The father gave his son up entirely , bid David believed his brother had been one of the two to escape. It was strange , of cour-e , that in the event of his escape no news had come trom him. Hut David bad read of stranger things , and allowed himself to believe that strange things sometimes oc curred outside of fiction. So , while till al home mourned for Mahlon , David kent a good heart. He : \ \ ( \ he would Mud him some day. Ton years ago lie went to IxV\v York and engaged in business , and in live .years bad made his way to a good business position and had married well. One day , a little less than a year ago , u friend ot his in the South American trade remarked that a man by the name of Hulri/.er was a largo nitrate-bed owner. Upon finding that the first name was Mahlon , David felt sure bis prediction bad come true. To make a long story short , he wrote , and received word from his brother. Sending bis family to the farm in Hunterdon county. David sailed last spring lor Peru , and received n warm welcome from bis brother. lie wanted Mahlon to return tit once with him , but business rendered it impossible. lie told David lo remain with him a few months , and then ho would conic 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 fev'v weeks ago the brothers sailed from Peru. They reached New Vork Christmas morning , and Christinas 'night the old farm resounded with the welcome , and the old folks knew no bound to their joy. Neighbors and triends flocked to see tlio loilost ) boy , and Ihev all think the story of Knoeli Arden is discounted in their own experience. Athletic sports may now bo said to form part of the course ot education in all schools and colleges. There is a dun- ger , however , that they may sometimes bo indulged in to a hurtlul degree , and experienced athletes always counteract the ell'eets of severe training by thorough applications of St. Jacobs Oil , This strengthens the muscles and makes the limbs lirm and clastic. Paper Uailroads. To the Hditor : 1 have noticed in the HLI ; , of late , freipiuut editorial allusions in a somewhat sarcastic vein , to the building of "paper" railroads in Nebras ka. No doubt there biivc been numerous instances of initiatory proceedings being taken in the way of Illing articles of incorporation - corporation , etc. , without anything tan gible resulting. Admitting this , I would call attention lo the fact that the Hurlinglon means I business every time , and 1 cannot recall I an instance wherein that company has ' not actively followed up its preliminary announcement by the actual building of the projected railroad. Probably there husljorm no time within tliu past three years when Iho Hurliugloii has not had a new branch line In process of construction. I call attention to Ibis matter becaii-o T am convinced that in speaking ot build ing "paper" railroads , a menial reserva tion should to made in favor ot the cor poration named. It is sate to set down as a fact that the Hiirlington system is managed by busy men w ho are animated by a steady pur pose , whivh does not admit of a waste of time m building "paper" loads. li.

It Is startling to discover how little we know about the common forms of disease. 1'or c.Miniplc. a ' 'cold'1 what is itv How is it produced , und in what does it consist" 11 is easy to say a cold i a chill. A chill of w hat part ot the organism ? \Vo know by daily e.xperience that the body us a whole , or any of its parts- , may be reduced to a considerably lower temperature than will snllice to give u man a cold if the so-called chill be indicted upon Ihe surlace suddenly. Is it , then , the suddenness of a reduction of temperature that causes the cold" It would be strange it il were so , because lew of the most susceptible of mortals would take cold from simply handling a piece of cold met.il or accidental contact with ice. The truth would seem to be , that what vye call cold taking is the result of a siillicient impression ol cold to re duce the vital energy of nerve-centres presiding over the ( unctions in special organs. If this be the lad it is cas.to . see wlij nature has provided the stimulus ol a strong lit ot sneezing to IOIIM- the dormant centre ? , and enable them at once to resume work and avoid evil cense quences. This explains why the vvor.st ell'eets of cold do not , lisa rule , follow up a "chill" which excites much suee/.ing. bhivcring is a less ellective com ulsion to rotoru the parai.v/cd nervous energy , but , in a lower decree , it may answer the same purpose. The shivering that results from the died of a poison ot tlio nervous centres is a totally < liu"crcnl matter. Wo speulc 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 follows , from what we have said , that ( he natural indi cation to ward oil'tho eil'eds of a chill isle lo restore the \.ital energy of the nerve centres , and there is no more potent m- llucnce by which lo attain lids object than a strjiig and sustained dl'oit of the will.
