Review says that: Physiologists and anatomists inform us that the stomach of a horse will hold about sixteen quarts and the intestines 109 quarts, while the stomach of an ox will Clarks hold 2.10 quarts and the intestines only quarts. Considering digestion takes place in the stomach of each, it ts important to know how each should he fed. Pood passes from both animals frequently and it were well to know undigested, in both cause the oases. The ox chews a cud. i. e., the food for a second time, such food as requires consequently, me most mastication should be given h'm last or before his hours of rest just ant repose. And thus it is that when oorn is fed him in the morning, just be-ohim out to pasture, or the tarring r9t thing in the evening, before his ough food or that less nutricontaining ent is given him, the former is seldom ever suflicently masticated, and so Pusses out of the system with much of nutritive qualities still in it.

Questions For the Farmers. Wo hat o urged, says the lkiltimore Sun, the importance of farmers keeping account in a thoroughly practical way, as tho proper way of discovering whether farming was paying them or not-- It is an important thing to know, and the Practical Parmer asks some pertinent questions in a terse wav, as follows: editorially, Does the value of the hav and grain fed to tlie cows exceed tho value of the milk, butter and cheese sold? Do tho bhcep pay for their keep- J., 11; di-e- t- -- ing? How much money has been niado or lost on the poultry? "Did the potato crop pay for tho manure, labor and seed expended upon it? Can corn be grown cheaper than it can be bought, if a fair allowance is pule for the value of the fodder, or is it more profitable to grow corn in drills, cither to cure for winter fodder or pack in the silo, anil then to purchase the grain transported from the west. hat h is been the income from the orchards for a series of years? Are they paying the interest of $1,000 per acre, or would it bo better to dig them up and put the land in grass or cultivated crops? How many farmers can answer these questions or many more that they might be asked? Yet these are questions which would be answered by a properly kept memorandum book and an account kept with each department. And each farmer ought to be able to answer them to his own satisfaction, if not to that of all inquirers. If cows are not paying for their keeping it is not desirable to increase the herd until a change has been made, either in breed of animals kept, method of feeding or mode of disposing of their products. Farm Notes. One reason why we do not export more butter is because we use more ourselves than any other people in tho world, generally insisting on the best quality for our own use. But we are growing in population faster than most other nations, and so long as we keep up our habits in butter eating, are likely to prove our own best customers. Tobacco is a very exhaustive plant. It requires a great deal of manure, and much of tho plant food it contains remains in tho stems, which tho manufacturers do not use, and which are often sold at less than their manurial value. They heat rapidly in the soil, are rich in nitrogen, and as a change from other manures arc often worth more than anything else that can bo had. So long as the skin slips readily, potatoes are poor property to handle, especially in hot weather. If put in piles they heat as rapidly as any other green stuff would do when exposed to air. If to be sold at once it should only be in small quautities in a place. Put the potatoes in small heaps two or three days, and cover with straw in the field. This will make tho skin dry, so that it will no longer slip, and the potatoes may bo handled without injury after this. The same food given to an animal when young makes more growth than it will at any other period of its lift?. Not only this, but to stunt calves and other young animals, as many do, injures the animal's digestion as long as it lives. Keep the digestive organs active by plentiful, regular feeding, and years hence the animal thus trained will pay all tho better for the food consumed.' It will eat more and digest a larger proportion of what it eats for being well fed now. The old idea of a natted fallow is wasteful of fertility. Somethingshould be growing on all land during the growing season. In winter even tho land is bettor covered with a growth of rye than to remain naked. The rye will not keep thefrost from penetrating tho ground, but it will prevent rains from compacting and hardening the surface. Rye should be sown at tho time of last cultivation of corn and potatoes. It is far better for the land than the weeds whose place ii will American Cultivator. occupy. Tho Household.

A hundred years rgo the vineyard nur-ergarden near Kensington was as renowned for its rare collection of exotics as it had been at a Mia earlier date tor its flourishing vineyard and he g od wine inn le ami sold on the premises.

Half b'side himself with tho exultation of such a beautiful discovery, he soon introduced himself to the owner of tho plant, who told him thut Jack the sailor bad brought it home with him ott his return from South America, and that,, poor us she was, nothing would indued' her to part with the plant, or, as sho Mlle l it, her keepsake."

No small portion of tho gold of California anl tlie silver of Nevada levs flowed directly to England.

Some of those investments have proved so unfort ma'o that foreign capitalist are now placing their money in tho iron mines of leninsular Michigan and Northern Wisconsin.
