ment before tbe Senate committee of

The National Woolgrowers Associ
atiou met in convention at Washing

protection, tbe wool gtowers aaa wwi
manufacturer in the United States
have a right to demaud that the du
ties on wool and on woolen and worst
ed goods shah be adjusted and main

American market. The r solutions
pro tea tagamet the Senate tariff bi.l so
tar as it affects wool, and providing for
a committee of seven to formulate

adoption. Tuey further declare that
the determination of the economic

and all other industries and business
of the nation 8 to require immediate
Mild definite legislation, and if this
shall not be accomplished during the
pretent Congress an early extra ses

Georgia is to have an immigration

D-i not M'U ifT your Hiirplu-i hay n
straw yet, r you may lind yotirfH
sliO:t of a supply before the winter if
over. The amount t: tie retained de
pends on the condition of the sto fc
and the severity of the weather tn
tweeu now and spring.
Every farmer's son should be edu
cated 10 a knowledge of Itotany arid
to thoroughly understand nil tie
jaiints of t lie different breeds of stock,
as well as be familiar with the nature
of fertilizers and their fitness for cer
tain crop and soils.
Dj not be afraid to cpn the doors
unit windows of the cellar -on clear
days. It is much better to l.ave pur
air in the cellar than to keep it cl e
ami damp. When th cellar is musty
ami a disagreeable tbr noticed tlu
entire house is likewise sfHcted.
A farm rau'.t not only be self-sun
porting but should pay a profit.
When the farmer reaches that stage
when he is compelled to borrow, or de
pend on some income from an lher
source, hi farm is unprofitable, and
be should Ihen endeavor not only t
discover the cause of his loes but alo
aim to improve iu some manner, in
order that the farm may be self-sui
porting.
The ni'-st disigreeable thing on the
farm in winter is mud, and, although
it can not be entirely avoided, yet
some of i'a disidvantaxes may be
overcome by c irefully draining every
location that allows an exctsj of wa
ter to accumulate. When the cattle
are compel!! lo stand km e deep in
mud there is aljssof animal heat, and
a greaU-r projx r:ion of food aillle
lequired to keep them m conditio:!.
Churning cream wh?n slitrhtly
sour, as i-t the custom in the llolstein
daiiiep, yields bu ter of a peculiar and
fine aromi. Butter made from verv
sour cream is destitute of th:s aroma,
and baa the t ste winch the Mortem
butter acquires after keeping some
time. Stirring of cream does not pro
mote souring, but rather hinders it bi
increasing aureus tf air; it may lie ad
vantageous m mating the souring

For very euly eggs warm, com
fortable houses, proper fee', and toot!
care are necessary If the beus have
to use all the feed they get to k ep
themselves warm, if they are not sup
plied with f 1 mrI coutainiug egg-forming
material, and if the houses are not
kept c ean and well ventilate!, the
eiig bak t need not be alirgetme.
I he rouf of the p'mlt'v housij should

Ou ho v many places is it a pleas
nre to visit the ben hou T Although
there has been a great change for the
better during the last fear years, tin-
average hen house is still shunn id by
all who are not obliged to visit it
Tni is not surprising, as it i full of
lic" in summer, and 111 winter i-t fou'-
with the stench from a year's accu
mulation of huh. Tins need rot and
ought not to be. The poultry ou
plat , esa dally if a pure breed 1
kept, should be a "joy forever." They
never Ioe their luterest. Each has
its individuality, is likes ami dis'ikes,
like all other stock, and a half hour
spent iu watching them is alwavs ful
( f pleasure, and seldom without profit
Somtthinst new can be learned al
ever visit.
Wood ashes have too greatavilm
to be wanted. Every favniar's f nuilv
should make its own soap supply. It
is cheaper for tbe farmer lo mak
soap than to buy it. When not u'il
ized on the farm, "soap gn a e i
either wasted or sold for a pittance.
After the ashes are leached they are
as good as before for manor.'', where
the soil does not ljck potish. If a
teapoonful of clean wood ashes i
given every third d ly to hoises i.
their feed they will will very rarely
n-cd condition powders. The sam
amount given to cattle will have good
results. Cattle, also swine, are fre
quently seen licking asl ei where rul
bish has been burned. Tiie ashe
given to hogs may be mixed with
their salt. Ashes correct acidify of
the stomach and destroys some in
testinal worms. Wood ashes are a
valuable fertilizer for all crop-1, but es
pecially for orclurd crops. They con
tain all the mineral element r. quired
by plants. The fine condition and
peculiar proportion of their ingre
dients make their real agricultural
value greater than the value com
puted from chemical analysis. Coal
ashes are comparatively worthhs,
but wood ashes should never be
thrown away.
Allowing each tree thirty feet of
room (that is p'anting the trees thirty
feet apart iu checked rows), an cre
will ptr.nit tf abuut fi ty trees. They
will 'not be ready for market, or to br
sawed up as lumber, until they are
about twenty years of age. Their
value will then depend on the kin 1 of
trees and the number of feet of lum
ber that can be sawed from each tree.
If the trees are twenty-five feet apart
about sixty-five trees can be grown en
an acre, but the closer the trees the
slower the growth and the sooner they
must be cut down. Each acre of land
can be made, to produce $1000 in
choice tiees in twenty y ars, or at the
rale of $25 perV-acre annually, while
the yield' of nuts will more'tha'n pay
he interest on capital. No correct
n-timate can be made on the value of
an acre of walnut. - In Indiana re
cently trees sold at the rate of $3000
per acre, but they were very lirge. If
an application wf ashes be giv-n th
tree ev ry year the growth will be So
creased. The pn fi', arises from
utilization of laud that would lemaiu
1 idle if not occupied by trees.

NATURE OF FOODS. -
The IlfT-rnce Hetre-n Nltrrxcrnotu and
'atrbunmcotui Articles of ll-t.
Foods that supply material for
growth and repair are called nitro
genous foods. Ther are also called
proteids, from a Greek word meaning
first," because in the living cells
which are the first principle or form
of life there is always nitrogen. A
common name is albuminous foods.
Albuminous substances exist in many
forms, and are called by different
names in different things. They are
found largely in meat. fish, milk, peas,
beans and grains. The albumen and
fibrin in the juices and flesh of meat
and fish, and in the juices and mem
branes of some vegetables and fruits,
the casein in milk, the vegetable ease-in
in peas and beans, and the gluten of
grains, are all forms of nitrogenous
substances, or pro'eids.
.The cnrlKnaceous foods aw fats. In
eluding butter, the fat of meat or fish,
oils, eggs, and some kinds ef ehesse.
A small amount of fat is neees
sary in digestion, aud indispensable
to perfect nutrition. Starch and sugar
as found in vegetables and fruits are
a!so fat producing. Fats from the
principal material of certain t'ssues
giving rotundity and beauty to the
form and being non-conductors of
heat, keep the body warm. An undue
accumulation of fat is a species of dis
ease and is often dangerous.
Thus we see that the solid part of
the fiesh and blood is largely fibrin and
albumen, substances similar to the
fibers and juices of meat and fish, and
that eggs, milk, peas, beans and grains
also contain fibrin and albumen, and
it is from these nitrogenous foods that
the bodily substance is chiefly built
up.
Age, occupation, climate an 0UP
finances should influence our choice of
food. Persons whose occupations tax
their muscular strength often think
that they require a great deal of meat,
when there are many foods that con
tain as much as, or more, proteid mat
ter than meat, such as peas, beans,
cheese and grains.
Animal food fs better diet for cold
weather than for hot. Tat is not di
gested easily unless exercise is taken.
Fruits, vegetables and grains eaten
with milk, butter Or oil, furnish the
carbohydrates needed in summer.
Those who labor or exercise in the
open air ned a large quantity of
wholesome food, and it need not be the
most digestible, as they require food
that m ill s'ay by them.
Persons engaged in sedentary occu
pations or who take little exercise and
live in close, confined rooms, can not
digest as much or as easiiy as those
who labor out-of-doors. Those who
tax their brain severely should avoid
fat. People who consume much starch
or sugar are liable to grow fat. As a
rule the majority of people eat too
much, and between forty and fifty
years of age an excess of abiuminates
is liable to develop heart, liver and
kidney troubles, which are more. or
less akin to dyspepsia. An excess of
starchy food or of sugar or fat. causes
obesity, not only of the body, but aa
accumulation of fat about the heart
and other internal organs which is lia
ble to prove very dangerous. Build

TREAT STOCK GENTL.Y.
Why It I Wrong ta Worry Animals fcy
Rongh Words and Way.
I have known a great many free-going
hores of nervous temperament
kept in a continual worry by the rough
ways and words of theirdrivers. They
would fret and sweat and grow poor
doing the work they would thrive
whie doing under mild-mannered, con
siderate control. I have seen a great
many heifers and cows in a tremor of
excitement while some ignorant or
brutal fellow was milking them. I
never knew them to be made quiet and
willing to he milked by scolding, kick
ing or pounding; but they might have
been made docile by early and gentle
handling. It is safe to say that rough
usage of cows often oecassions the lose
of half their milk. Thej- refuse to
"give down," and that dries them up
rapidly. Boys, dogs and heedless men
worry them when driving from the
field.- Irregular feeding and milking,
and every thing out of the regular or
der, disturbs, and therefore damages
them. Change of residence frequently
causes cows to shrink their milk for a
whole year. A noted Ilolstein butter
cow, taken to the fair to test her butter-making
qualities, made only a
pound of butter from forty-four
pounds of milk, while in the quiet of
her home she made "a pound of butter
f rom t .venty-ono pounds and three
ounces of milk. Likely she was extra
nervous, but all cows have nerves
enough to require that their treatment
be gentle and regular. Hugh 7.

Ia one respect rye is a cheap crop
because it requires no land for its
growth, to a certain extent. That Is,
if tht: seed is sown in the fall on land
intended for corn in the spring, and
the rye turned in before planting the
corn, the rye simply holds the land
that would otherwise be unoccupied
during tho winter. It is also excellent
on the land intended for potatoes, and,
as it resists in keeping down the
weeds, I ; saves much labor in that re
spect. Tho plan has been proposed by a
competent authority in such matters
that in order to Insure greater strength
nd consequently more safety in ropes
used for scaffolding pa.-pjaes particu
larly ia those localities where the at
mosphere proves destructive of hemp
fiber such ropes should be dipped
when dry into a bath containing twenty
grains of sulphate of copper per litre
of water, and allowed to soak in this
solution some four days. By pursuing
this method, which is claimed .to be
much more practicable and effective
than any othr yet resorted to for this
purpose, it is found that the ropes will
thusbaxe absjHae'd a CrViii quantity

A Novelist's Arithmetic.
In Dickens Christmas number, Dr.
Marigold's Prescriptions." one of the
Ules, "To Ba Taken in Water," de
scribes the adventure of a clerk who
was traveling through France in charge
of "a quarter of a million'' in specie.
He had it "in two iron boxes, inclosed
in lether to look like samples." The
French porters seem to bare noticed
that the boxes were heavy, but man
aged them well enough, two porters to
each box. My copy of "Dr. Marigold'
bas a marginal annotation by an Impa
tient reader. "Bosh! A quarter of a
million in gold coin would weigh up
wards of two tons." The calculation
does not seem to be quite accurate,
but it would weigh about one ton sev
enteen hundred weight, avoirdupois.
A thief who got at the boxes Is de
scribed in the story as stopped In mak
ing bis way out of a window with a
carpet-bag half full of sovereigns. The
annotator reckons again, from the de
scription of the bag that it must have
weighed five hundred pounds. One
