It has been determined that 8,100 pounds of com products, including grain, cobs, and stalks, is equal in nutritive alue to 0,012 pounds of hay. Strong brine is reported to be taking the place of alcohol for preserving sjeci-men fruits. They keep size as well, and preserve tbeir color better.

The Burlington company that is making milk sugar from hey finds the demand out-growing the supply, and has sent west for material to make the sugar of. At the Union stock yards during the year 1885 almost ten million animals of all kinds were received to be exact, About two-thirds of the whole number were hogs. A farmer of North Belgrade, says three bushels of plaster on grass land is as good as six. He would apply it just after the ground becomes bare in the spring, and just before a rain, if possible. The Cliiuese mix night soil with dry argile; form it into blocks or loaves," and sell these at fairs.

The Chinese pulverize these before using, and attribute the exemption of their land from weeds to tlcur employment. The Pipestone Slur reports a farmer as saying that he can keep one stove going six months on the sunflower stalks produced on one acre of land. The seed produced is feed to the fowls, which pays for cultivation. The barbed-wire manufacturers have agreed upon an advance in price of cent er pound, the rate now to be 4 cents per pound free on board at Chicago and east St. Louis, for fifty-ton lots, and 4 A cents for smaller lots.

The wages of farm hands in Switzerland. exclusive of board and lodging, average for males about $50.25 a rear; for females, $20.50. In the United States the wages of the farm hands including board and lodging, average from $300 to $350 a year. Diversified farming means fields of grain, meadows and pasture; a kitchen garden and orchard; a lawn with trees and flowers breeding mares and milk cows; sheep, swine and poultry. Live stock is the groundwork and will hold the soil fertile.

The Chicago I'i thane says: It is un questionable that the present generation is leaving the farm in large numbers and that the next will leave in still greater, and that were it not for the accretion of foreign agricultural labor our farms would suffer very heavily. Alill maize should bo planted in a good, rich soil, and given good cultivation. It will make a good growth, and furnish considerable green food if cut off and fed, or if allowed to stand longer it can be cut and cured for fodder. Yet it will not furnish any more feed than good Kansas orange cane which will easily ripen seed, and is that much better. A fanner in Norfolk county hired a pasture last year for $1.25 an acre.

It seemed very cheap, but he thinks the result does not bear out this appearance. The pasture is three-quarters of a milo from his barn. To go and come costs each cow a mile and a half of travel each day, and the man who drives them three miles. A dozen cows make eighteen miles of distance covered by them all. This does not pay.

The cow gets exercise enough in feeding over the pasture, and the journey, to and fro, is at the ex-ense of the milk and muscle. Of course the man has exercise enough in regular farm work, and three miles travel is about one-tentli of a days work. Charles Abbot showed us (Jefferson county buion a bucketful of willow roots taken from the well of Charles Garrison, near the high school, at a depth of forty-one feet. The pump was so thor-oughly. wound about with the fibres as to require the use of a sharp-edged tool before it could be drawn out.

About three bushels of the roots, none of them larger than a wheat straw, were taken out. A large willow tree stood a few feet from the well, and the tap root which sent forth the fibres did not break through the stone curbing to the well until it reached a depth of thirty-six feet, which point was at the usual surface of the water. This is the most remarkable case of root-growth we have heard of. The well was dug twelve years ago. The couple' making daily use of it are one of the most aged pairs in town, Mr.

Garrison being now eighty-eight and his wife about the same. The water has apparently had no injurious effect on them, as they are both remarkably healthy and active, considering their ages. CONGESTION OF. THE KIDNEYS, BACK ACHE. INFLAMMATION OF THE KIDNEY', BLADDER OR URINARY ORGANS.

WHY? All these troubles, as is well known by every physician of education, arise from congestion and impaired kidney action, causing stagnation of the blood vessels and breaking down, and this is the beginning and the direct cause of all the ailments from which women suffer, and must as surely follow as night does the day. WHY arners Safe Cure is acknowledged by thousands of our best medical men to be the only trueUood purifier, is because it acts upon scientific principles, striking at the very root of the disorder by its action on the kidneys and liver.

For, if these organs were kept in health all the morbid waste matter so deadly poisonous if retained in the body, is passed out. On the contrary, if they are deranged, the acids are taken up by the blood, decomposing it and carrying death to the most remote part of the body. WHY 93 per cent, of all diseases which afflict humanity, arise from impaired kidneys, is shown by medical authorities. 'Warners.

In the heart of the widely scattered town of Mt. Vernon, near the northern line of New York City, is a manufactory of kumyss, the popular tonic made of fermented milk.

The physician ho manufactures it is pleased to talk with visitors of his methods in the preparation of kumyss, and to show the stable where his herd is kept. He has twenty-three Holstein cows. He has excluded Alderneys, lurving demonstrated to his own satisfaction that this breed is not the best to supply milk for kumyss. Having a good herd he pays special attention to their food and habits. During the day the cows occupy a large yard, and at night find shelter in a stable that is kept scrupulously clean.

The cows are stall-fed the year round, which makes the milk more expensive, but it is uniform in quality, The following is the diet list Timothy and clover hay, nitrogenous food; Indian meal, farinaceous food; bran, glutinous food; linseed or cotton-seed meal for freo hay, for chlorides; corn meal, for phosphates; turnips, carrots or beets, as succulents. This preparation of kumyss is sent all over the world. Garfield used it in liis last illness; Edwin Booth, John Sherman and Secretary Lincoln are using it now an invigorator and tonic. Homer, ATrgil and Marco "Polo mentioned fermented milk. The Russians have made it from time immemorial, using both mare's and cows milk, according to the season; and among the nomads of both Russia Tartary kumyss is the nourishment of children, the refreshment of the old and sick and the luxury of all lasses.
