Preston, Secretary, El l'aso Feeding Straw to Horses and Cows. "Aincrico-Gcrino" says that lie saves $15 per ton, by feeding his horses on sedge, with 400 pounds of linsoed meal at a. cost of $12; and also by feeding his cows straw, with the same quanti ty of linseed meal per Ion that is, he saves his money by not feeding good hay with no linseed meal. Let us look into this subject a little and sec if farmers can really make money by following his Eystcm of feed ing. "What is the cash cost of a ton of "red-top, timothy, or clover hay" to the tanner who grows it an average cost in the entire Northern and Middle States? The prices, during tho last ten years, for these kiuds of hay have averaged, in the rural districts, about $15 per ton for red top and timothy, and $12 for clover. But fanncrs.in es timating the expense of feeding hay to stock, should rate it at what it is worth in their barns not what . is worth ten or twenty miles away; and, consequently, the cost or value of eve ry ton of good hay fed out will not average, turougliout me .northern anu Middle States, over about $12 per ton. Now, what is the vvcrage vaulc of a ton of good rye or wheat straw in bun dles? Not much less than that of good hay. It is worth in some places $20 per ton, for making paper; and $12 or $15 per ton in all cities or large towns, at the livery stables. Then comes up the fact that straw whieh was perfect ly dry when the grain wascuteontaius no nutriment, and, of itself, has no more value as food than a sawdust pudding has when Bcrved up for a man's dinner; and I contend that there would be quite as much wisdom in saying that the expense of feeding a family can be greatly reduced by mak ing a pudding, daily,composed of saw dust as a basis, with eggs, milk, and sugar, as to claim that a farmer can save money by feeding his stock straw, with an addition of eomcthing to ren der it oatablc. Sometimes oats are cut in a somewhat green condition, and the straw in 6uch cases is good to feed to young stock as a paart of their food but the bleached and sunburnt rye and wheat straw, as usually found iu farm ers' barns, is of no value as food for cattle. Whist would be the benefit of paying $12 for 400 pounds of linseed meal to feed with a ton of straw worth fully as much as tho meal, making $24, when a ton of good ha-, costing only $12, would, even according to "Amei-co-Germo's" admission, be equally un tritious, and, as I claim, a good deal more so. I do not discuss the question in re gard to feeding "sedge," as that article exists in but few places in comparison with other grasses. T. B. Miner. Linden, N. J. Tie "Want" Box. An excellent custom adopted by many Granges is to have a "want" box, in which members can drop any advertisement or intelligence they de sire circulated. A small open box is all that is necessary, placed upou the Lecturer's desk. The "wants," etc, cau bo dropped into it before the Pa tron takes his seat, and at tho proper time the Lecturer reads them before the Grange. The advantages of this plau are apparent. If any brother has any thing to sell or exchange, or if there is any thing ho desires to pur chase, ho cau advertise it qutte exten sively by this method. So, too, the sisters can advertise for help, etc. It is also suggested that the contents of the "want" boxes of neighboring Granges cau be exchanged to evident advantage, as the intelligence is thus more widely circulated. When is love like a battle? it comes to an engagement. When WinUrCuaofBhetp. It scarcely seems possible that there should be aqucstion about the benefits of affording sheep shelter in winter, even in any part of the country whero cold rains and frosts occur. Still there arc flock owners who excuse them selves for not providing shelter by de claring that their Eeecp do better without it. If their sheep aro com pelled to wade through the snow and mud, getting their wool matted to gether and their feet sore through be ing constantly wat aud half frozen, we are Informed that this is a "hardening process," which will make them a tougher breed. It is certainly something to marvel at, that sheep live at all under such treatment, and" we are rather surprised that so niaiiY live, than that so few die. If it had ever been proved that sheep could be kept on much less food if given warmer quarters than when fully exposed to the weather, then there would only be tho cruelty part of the question to be discussed, but the testimony of our most scientific aud experienced shepherds is all iu favor of shelter, not only for its econ omy iu saving food, but the preven tion of srrious aud often fatal diseases. If an animal is compelled to stand shivering iu the snow, mud, or xold rain all day, it cannot be laying off fat very rapidly to say the least.still thou sands of our farmers, aud especially tho herdsmen on the western prairies, are very loth to spend cither time or money in constructing any thing which will afford shelter to their ani mals, beyond perhaps stables for a few horses required for work. In a few instances where we have protested in person against this cru elty to animals, wc have generally met with the old aud stale argument that tho animals were better off for not be ing pampered and coddled up in warm sheds and stables. Of course it is of little use to talk to such men or try to make them look on the humauo side of the qucstiou, for they have but one object in view, and that is the greatest profit out of the least possible expense trouble. It Is for this reason that our sympathies are never aroused in be half of those who lost their flocks or herds through negligeuco in provid ing food or shelter iu winter. But wc do feel sorry for the poor ansmals, which have had to suffer when there is no reasonable excuse to be offered on the part of their masters in extenu ation of what should be considered a heiuous crime iu all civilized com munities and punished accordingly. A brush fence, a sod wall, and a few stacks of straw, bag or prairie hay, would frequently be the meaus of sav ing great Buffeting among sheep if not their lives in winter, and still even this much is not provided iu many western localities whero sheep breed ing is carried on upon an extensive scale, consequently it is not strange that w e frequently hear of great suffer ing and loss of life among the flocks and herds, from "imprecedented" se vero storms. That these "imprece dented severe storms have occurred, therefore are likely to occur again, should be sufficient to prompt owners of Hocks and herds to make prepara tions for them iu the future, but the story of the old man who never patched the roof of his house for the reason that when it rained he couldn't, and when it didn't rain there was no need of it, is applicable to many a farmer and shepherd. CEnfss in California. The Chufa or Earth Almond al though introduced twenty years ago is still almost unknown among those who are placed in a position to need such a plant for feeding 6hccp and hogs. We have reforred to it scores of times, and now do so again by giving the fol lowing the following note sent to the Pacific Jiural Press by one of its cor respondents who has been experiment ed with cliufas: "1 scud you a sample of chufas raised by me. I got two pouuds of seed from a friend in Florida, and from amount of seed I have gathered 400 pounds of nuts, and got them in May, rather too late to get a full yield. I don't think they can be beat by any thing for yield ing; and for hogs, their fattening qual ities arc four times as great as corn, and their yield three times greater, and you don't have the trouble of dig ging them. You can turn in any kind of stock, except hogs, and let them cat tops off while green; it makes them stool out and fill the rows completely. Then turn your hogs in and let them take it. Any laud that will grow corn will grow chufas. As for a nut to eat, I will let you be the judges of them." Hog Cholera. Wc do not pretend that the cholera when once firmly seated can be cured, but wc unhesitatingly affirm that if prompt measures are taken, when the disease first appears in tho herd, a large majority of the hogs may be saved. We say hogs, knowing that young pigs when taken sick from any cause cau only bo saved by a miracle. As soon as the disease shows itself in the herd, attention to tho following particulars is imperative . 1. Remove the sick animals from the pen to comfortable quarters, and pro vide the herd with fresh bedding and ample protection from the weather. 2. Avoid feeding corn in any form. Feed the 6ick animals milk exclesivcly, or milk mixed with a little middliugs, and the entire herd with shorts, mid dlings, ground oats or rye. If the feed cau be cooked, so much the better. 3. Let the entire herd have ready ac cess to pure water, aud keep constant. ly in the yard a pile of charcoal and ashes. 4. Keep in mind constantly this gen eral truth: the hog is a cleanly brute which enjoys and pays for cleau quar ters, and especially his nature, no less than man's demands a proper supply of nilro genous foods. Only a week ago we heard a careful farmer and well known Berkshire breeder assert that, after much experi ence, ho had no longer any dread of hog cholera, for he could euro it with new milk. Prof. Shelton, in Kansas Industrialist. Orange Halls. One of our correspondents suggests that, when a new school house is to be erected iu a district where a Grange is iu operation, said Grange could put a second story ou it, for a Grange hall at half the expense of erecting a hall by itself. The same foundation and roof will do for both, and the expense of the rest of the addition would also be lessened. The idea is a good one if it could bo adopted. The second story would be an advantage to the district iu many respects for public meetings, school exhibitions, etc., as the school room proper is no fit place for such things. NEW DRUG STORE! CHAS.
