FARM, UAKDEN AM) HOUSEHOLD. A lrlnciplo in FccrtlHjr. All food beyond such amount that is propotly digested and assimilated by tho animal Is a sourco of loss to tho owner, and that In two ways: First, tho food Is lost; and second; tho animal is not keptin tho best condition for getting tho most out of its feed its stomach is ovorlondcdnnd its dlgostlvo apparatus moro or less disarranged. Just insido tho limits of assimilation is tho point to havo In viow In feeding; in this way tho animal will havo a good appotlto, and other things being equal, is suro to givo tho best roturns for food consumed. Thoro is a golden moan in feeding farm stock, which tho farmer should find. ClinnginRT the Crop. Tho advantages of a rotation, either regular or irregular, result from n uum bor of considerations, somo of which aro as follows: First, different orops require food elements in different proportions Thus potatoes require much nioro potash than wheat, and this crop grown for n succession of years would exhaust tho natural supply ranch moro rapidly than when only grown with a number of other crops between, not demanding a large amount of potash. In tho second placo a rotation, when managed properly, cuablcs ono crop toproparo food for another. Clover sends long tap-roots into tho subsoil which act as pumps to tiring up food olemonts that may bo used by surfaco feeding crops that fol low. Thirdly, as dlfferont crops ro quiro different methods of cultivation, tho rotation can bo so arranged that .thoro will bo a constant supply of lubor distributed throughout tho whole sea son. For tho same reason tho variety of crops pormits of a hotter cultivation and improvement of the soil, tho de struction of weeds, oto. M'lic SiiccommI'iiI I'nriucr. I had occasion to visit him tho othor day, or at least to visit a man who is said to bo a very successful farmer. I havo always heard him spoken of as such, and often had heard that ho had commenced his lifo in Michigan with nothing, and had accumulated and got at interest a full $100,000. Of courso under these circumstances, his success could not bo questioned. At tho timo of my visit ho was pros trated by sickness. On attempting to cntor at tho front door, I found it iru , posslblo from tho lack of steps to got ovor an abrupt rlso of about four feet, but I followed a path to tho wood-shed door and thenco to tho living room of tho house. Tho yard by tho houso was open and accessible) to tho cattlo of tho farm-yard, and was apparently frequent ed by them. Insido tho houso I did not obsorvo any nowspaper for family read ing. Thrco books lay uoar at hand ono of which had tho outsido appcarunco of boing much in uso. In tho courso of my conversation, I had tho curiosity to pick up tliis book and opened it; it prov ed to bo au interest computing book. I found, in talking with tbo man that his mind had becomo entiroly ongrossod with monoy-macing, at tho oxpunso of all other considerations. I must say 'that when I loft tho houso tho quostiou was upormost in my mind: Is this a successful farmorP A fowdays alter this, Ifelng in a neigh boring villago, and having somo timo to wait for a train, I was invltod by a farmor acquaintance to go homo to tea with him and his wilo, but had nover beon at tholr homo, noithor had I ever hoard him mcntlonod as a particularly successful farmor. But, when wo ar rlvod at their homo, I found it a re markably ploasant location, and insido tho houso everything pleasant and agreeable. A fiuo library and sovoral uowspapors and periodicals woro at all tlmos accossiblo to tho family. Tho children in thoir joks and conversation, gavo unmistakalilo ovidonco that tho books and paporfj) had ben !bd to a purpose. Th(.6oiltloman h'Jd not, I learned, been putting monoy at Interest, but had appropriated th? profits of his farm to homo improvements and adorn ments and to tho education of his chil dren. His groatost ambition scorned to bo to mako his homo surroundings ploasant and roflnlng. In this 1 thought ho had succeeded admirably, on loavlng I oarao to tho conclusion that tho world had mado a great mistako in selecting a successful farmor, and that this last gentleman was really tho man. ferney Cowh. No breed of oattlo has mot with croat- or opposition or boon tho subjeot of moro conmuung opinions man iiavo uio .Jorsoys. Thoy havo novortholoss grown rapidly in favor not only as fanoy stock for gontlomcn's show farms but as but ter producers among dolry men's bonis. In this country tho Jorsoy cows' milk for tho manufacture of ,,gilt-odgod" butter is readily acknowledged. Tho milk not only makes butter of a plott ing color but of a sweot, nutty flavor, most acceptablo to consumers. In quantity tho milk yield of tho Jersoy is not largo, and from this fact many far mers still profor cows of othor improv ed broods showing a largor porformanco nttho nail and in tho churn, makincrun I in quantity whatovor admirers of tho Jorsoys may think thoy loso In quality, In this connection it may bo wdll to ox plain that while Jorsoy cows aro small and require a less amount of food than, say, short-horns, thoy must havo for best results, botha regards quality and quantity, all tho food thoy will eat, and that food must bo good. Tho rulo that applies to nil other brcoda applies with equal forco to this ono 1. o tho hotter tho food tho bettor tlio product. Jorsoys aro prominently a breed for milk; thoy aro two small for beef and owing to dlminutlvoslzo unlit for work ing. Thoroloro Jorsuyoxonnro animals raroly to bo mot with. A question rola tlvo to this breed still unsettled is tho ono touching tho hardiuoss of tho ani mals. Many broodors assort that thoy aro as hardy ns need bo, wlillo farmers in sovoro climates with inferior pastures considur thom tender and profor cattlo of somo othor race. Thoro is no doubt but that theso soft oyod crcaturos from tho Islo of Jersey, so attractive in nppoaranco, havo won favor largoly Irom tills very attractive ness, boing nn ornament to any farm on which thoy nro introduced. It is nlso equally truo that with good caro and proper food tho Jorsoys will thrivo well and pay for thoir extra hooping whero butter is tho required product. With Jorsoys ns with othor breeds, howovor, thoro oxlsts grados of excellence. Pur chasers should boar In mind when mak ing thoir selections thatovory thorough bred animal belonging to a buttor breed is not necessarily high up in this quali fication. Tuoroforo, not only purity of blood should bo Insisted on but this ought to bo accompanied with a satis factory porformanco at tho pail and churn. An English correspondent, writing on tho whims of fashion in regard to tho color of Jersoy cattlo, says that lr tho valuo of tho Jersoy stock is to rest on this ono feature deterioration will suroly follow ol'many useful qualities. Ho has owned hundreds of acclimated Jersoy stock, but, as a rule, lias not found tho wholo colored cows such largo pro ducers as many partl-colorod ones. The truo typo of a Jersoy cow is, in fact, nn nnimai that thr -vs thojbulk of hor feed properties lntobuttor and but tlttlo to flesh. Adulteration of Food. 11V OnOKGE T. ANQF.LI,. A Taper I cad lieforo tho American Social Science As- luuiuuuu Hi uuuun. This Is n Ireo country. In Franco I was assured that no medicine could bo sold ia Paris which had not boon ap proved by a board composed ol somo of tho host physiciau3 of Paris. No phy sician could praotioo who had not been examined and approved by a board com posed of somo of tho best physicians of Paris. Deadly poisons could only bo sold by persons of good character, li censed by tho polico authorities to soil them. Thoy wcro required to bo kopt under lock nnd key, and tho key kept in tho personal possession of tho person licensed to sell, nnd overy salo was re quired to bo registered, and tho registry preserved twenty years for tho Inspec tion of tho polico. Theso and a hundred othor regulations to provent tho im proper salo of poisonous and dangorous, and adulterated articles, and to protect publio health, wcro, as I was informed, most vigorously enforced. Porhapsno stronger ovidonco of tho comparativ freedoms in this couutry can bo ad duced thau that millions of dollars worth of quack medicines, which no rospectablo physician would prescribe aro widoly sold; that most dangerous poisons can bo bought nt hundreds of places In any of our largo cities, without restriction; and that it wa3 shown to a commiltco of tho Massachusetts legisla ture in 1878, that moro than thrco hun dred ignorant and uneducated persons who wero practicing mcdioino at that timo in tho city of Boston; and that tho signs of thirty-four of thorn wero on tho doors or walls of houses oflll-roputo. But theso aro only a fow of tho evi dences that may bo easily adduced to show tho perfect freedom which provails in this country. Take tho adultoratlon of foods, for Instance One of tho most eminent chemists of Massachusetts tolls, mo that almost ovory class of artlo'es now sold in this country lor food ia moro or less ndultorated, and that many of theso adultorationi aro extremely poisonous. Lor instanco, oayonno pop por Is adulterated with red load, mus tard with chromato of load, curry pow- dor with red load, vlnogar with sul. phurio acid, arsonio and corroslvo subll inato. It is stated in tho Scientific American that probably half tho vino gar now sold in our oltios Is rank poison, Ono of our Boston ohomlsts analyzed twolvo paokages ol pickles, put up by twolvo different wholosalo doalors, and found coppor In ton of thom. Another chumUt analyzed slxteon packages of plcklos, and found coppor in all of thom. Many of our flavoring oils, syrups, jollies and prosorvod fruits contain poi sons. Tho adulterations of tea aro too numorous to mention. Coffoo Is not adulterated, butu patent has been taken out for moulding ohioorylnto tho form of borrios; and I am told that clay is now moulded, and porhaps flavorod with an cssonoo to roprcsout coffoo. Cocoa and chocolate aro adulterated with various mlnoral substances. Sovoral mills in Now England, and probably many olsowhoro, nro now en gaged in grinding whlto stono into a powdor for tho purposo of adulteration. At somo of theso mills thoy grind thrco grades; soda grade, sugar grado and flour grado. 1 am told that thousands of tons of it havo beon ground in ono town of Massachusetts. It soils for about half a cunt a pound. Flour has boon ndultoratod in England, and prob ably hero, with plaster of paris, bono dust, sand, clay, chalk and other artl clcs. I am told that largo quantities of damngod nnd unwholcsomo grnln nro ground in with Jlour, particularly with that ktnd called Graham. (To detect adulterations of Hour sco Sanltnrian, November, 1877.) Cortnlnly hundreds, nnd probably thousands of barrels of "torra alba," or whlto earth, aro sold in our cities overy yonr to bo mixed with su gar In confectionery and other white sub stances. I am told by an eminent physician that this tends to produce stono, kidney complaints and vnriotls diseases of tho stomach. A Boston chemist tolls mo that ho has found soventy-fivo porcont. of "terra alba" in what was sold ns cream of tarter, for cooking. A largo Now York houso sells thrco grades of cream of tartar. A Boston chomlst rccontly analyzed a samplo of tho best grado and found fifty por cent of terra alba in that. Much of our confectionery contains 33 por cent, or moro of torra alba. Tho coloring matter of confectionery contains lead, mercury, arsenic and copper. Baking powders aro widely sold which contain a largo porccntago of terra alba and alum. In 1871 a medical .commission of fivo physicians, nppointod by tho board of health of Boston, reported that over a million and a half gallons of water woro sold nsmilk in that city in that year, for which nenrly $500,000 in mouoy was paid. Thoy stato lurthor, that this wa ter is likely to bo taken from impuro streams and barn yard wells, and so to produco typhoid fovor and othor infec tious diseases in thoso who drink it. In ono instanco thirty-four cases of typhoid fovcr wero produced in twenty different familios by drink ing milk mixed with water taken from a woll standing noar a cesspool. Tim high death rato amongst infants in our cities is largely nttrlbutablo to adulterat ed milk. In ono year, for instanco, 18 G8, whilo there were -187 deaths of chol era infantum in Suffolk county, in tho same population outsido tho city thero wero less than 100. It is not water nlono that is mixed with milk. Thousands of gallons, and probably hundreds of thousands aro sold in our cltio3 which havo passed through largo tins or vats, In which it lias been mixed with various substances. I am told aftor being drawn from theso vats It tastes better and will keep longer than puro milk. Receipts for tho mixturo can bo bought by now milk man from old on payment ol tho required sum. I am assured, upon what I bolicvo to ho relia blo authority, that thousands of gallons of so-called milk havo been, nnd proba bly aro, sold In this city which do not contain tho genuine art'clo. Probably this kind is principally sold to tho poor. A Itomuuco of tho Harem. London Court Journal. A pretty story comes to us from tho East, whero it is aflirmod to ho scrupu lously exact, nnd quoted ns tho motlvo of that hatred toward tho Grook Chris tians which all roeoiit trnvelors describe as being the most prominent feature of tho Sultan's policy. About two years ago tho favorito wife of tho Sultan oloped from tho liarom with a Grook doctor, and took rofugo in Athens. Tho lady did not lly ompty handed. Sho took witli her tv quantity of jewels be longing to tho other ladies of tho harem, nnd worso than nil, tho two little girls sho had borne tho Sultan, and to whom, its sho know well, ho was devotodly at tached. But tho mother soon finding tho children a burden, placed thom with a Greek lady, who llndlng thoir expen ses unpaid, transfered thom to tho Chris tian hospital for foundlings at Chichll. Thenco ono of thom was placed only ns a little drudgo and servant to a certain M. Vaccaro, an Italian merchant, whero thf-phild was woll cared lor, clothod, fod, br, mado to work hard. About a month ago tho mother confided tho se cret of tho destination of this unfortu nate child to Nltalis Pasha, who is a Frtihchman by birth, aido do-camp to tho Sultan. This gentleman immodl atc'ysot out forChiohli, accompanied by t. o Chief of tho Polico, and summon ed Mj Vnccaro to dolivorup tho child at oncn. This wa3 accomplished with out nil dlflloulty undor tho sign and seal ofijSlster Martha, tho Suporior of tho foundling hospital at Chichll. Tho oljjld is said to bo of surpassing boauty, just nino.vyoars old, of fair comploxion, and higloy-dovolopod intelligence, and tho Sultti's gratltudo to Vltalls Pasha is roporti U to havo boon oxhlbitod in th ,-mostivonorous manner. Who knows what mnybotho dostiuy of this llttlo princess, whoso story seoms a rollzatlon of "Tho Illustrious Trogona," that oharmiug fiction of Corvantos. Hor restoration to tho Imporlal harom took plnco immediately with all tho honors duo to hor rank, and tho Sultan betrays tho most livoly dollght in hor company. Of tho othor child, just ono year youug or, no traco has boon found as yet. Sistor Martha declares that sho was ta ken away by a travolor about to start for Cophalonia, whoro ho declared ho possosscd a vlnoynrd, aud whoro ho rosldod with his wltb and family. Itolor onco was given to tho Italian oonsul at Constantinople, whoso uiomory fails him ontlroly with regard to tho clrcum stances of the caic, and so Vitnlls Poshn has beon dispatched 6nco moro in quost of this second stray blossom from the Sultan's family tree whoso adventures may, porhaps, bo oven moro curious than thoso of her elder sister.

A very singular trouble has overtaken tlio producers ol salt in Cheshire county, Englnud. It seems that for somo timo past, instead of digging out tho rock salt from tho mines, tho salt men havo allowed largo quantities of fresh water to run into tlio pits, nnd when It boennio brino havo pumped It out and chrystal izod it.

A German chemist, Dr. Schul, has es tablished tho fact that wood impregnat ed witli paraflluo is preserved from rot, especially when employod in nlizarino manufactures, whoro it is opposed to tho decaying action of damp, acid andnlka lino lyes. Wooden vessols which bo ennio totally rottoa in two months las for two years whon impregnated with parafllno. Tho preparation of tho wood is effected by drying it in warm air for threo wcoks, and then steeped in melted parofllno to which lias beon added somo potroloum other or sulphurctof carbon. In preparing this bath groat caro must, howovor, bo oxcrcircd, owing to tho in flammability of its ingredients. To provent tho paraflluo from escaping ftom tho poros, tho wood should bo coated witli oil varnish or soiubio glass, washod aftor drying with diluted hy drochlorlo acid. Tho slliclo aoid thus formod clogs up tho pores from tho outsido, nnd protects tho parafllno from tho action of wator. Parafllno, molted with equal parts of linseed or rnpesuod oil, is also, according to Dr. Schnl, uso ful for coating iron vossols, which in chomlcal factories aro othorwiso very linblo to rust. fi'Iour ly n Now I'rocess.

E, J. Couch. Turning a Snake. New Guinea AlberlU. I went to tho nntivos and tried to ns cortain tho causo of tholr conduct, nnd thoy mado mo understand why thoy had lied. I then returned to sco tlio snako myself, which, in fact, I did, although two-thirds, of its length was hidden in a holo in tlio earth. His slzo was such that I concluded ho could not be poison ous, nnd I at onco grasped him by tlio tail. Whilo dragging him out of his lair with my two hands I was proparcd to flatten his neck closo to his head witli ono foot tho moment ho omorged, so that ho should not havo tho power of turning or moving. My plan succeeded perfectly, and whilo tho snake's hoad was imprisoned undor my foot I grasped his body with my hands, and, as though I had vanquished a torrlblo monster, i turned towards tbo natives with an air of triumph. Thoy, struck with torror, had looked on at tho scono from n safe distance I must confess that tho snako ollored llttlo rcsistenco, although it writhed and twisted Itsolf round my arm, squeezing it so tightly ns to stop tho circulation and mako my hand black. I remained, howovor, in posses sion of its neck, and soon secured it firmly to a long thick stiok I had brought with mo. I then gavo tho roptilo to my men to carry homo. This sorpont was thirteen feet long, wliorcns tho ono Wntorton caught slnglo-handed was but ten feet, though it might havo boon equally powerful. This snako was kopt alivo and becamo quito tamo, and whon tho natives saw D'Albortls kiss its hoad and lot It coll rouud his logs thoy howl cd with nmnzomeut and admiration, Six wcoks aftor tlio capturo ho writes: "aly snako continues to do woll; it has twice oast its skin, is woll-bohnved aud tamo, and does not nttompt to escape, oven whon I put it in the eun outsido tho houso; and whon I go to bring it In, it comes to mo of its own nccord. It never attempts to blto, oven when caress or teaso It. Whilo I am working I often hold it on my knees, whoro It ro mains for hours; sometimes it raises its hoad and lloks my faco with its forked tonguo. It is a truo friend and compan ion to mo. When tho nntlves bother mo it is usoful in putting thom to flight, for thoy aro vory much afraid of it; it is quito sufllclont lor mo to let my snako looso and mako thom fly nt full speed." Ho kopt his serpent for nenrly six months, nnd latterly another of tho samo species with It, till nt Inst both es caped, and ho mourns thoir loss as ot dear frionds, adding, "fori lovodthom, and thoy loved mo, nnd wo hnd passed a longtlmo together." Where Elder Down Comes Front. How York Hour. In n country so poor ns Icolnnd tho down of tlio older duck is nn npprccinblo sourco of wealth, and tho bird has boon practically domesticated. Closo to every llttlo haudclstud, or trading station, if there is a convenient island, thero is suro to bo a colony of elder ducks, anil tho birds nro to bo soon by hundreds swimming nnd fluttering about their island home, or squatting upon its shores in conscious security from tho foxos which infest tho mainland. From tlio largest of theso "duckorlos" ns much as 300 is cleared annually, tho lown being worth nbout n sovereign per pound on an avorago. Tlio ducks mako tholr nests nmong tlio rough hummocks characteristic of all grass- iiid In Iceland, laying their largo olive-green eirgs upon neat littlo bods of down, "so solt nnd brown." Thoy nro perfectly tamo, allowing themselves to bo lifted oil their eggs anil rcplnccd with only a few querulous notes of ro- monstranco. hen tlio nest has neon repeatedly robbed oi tho down, nnd tho poor duck finds dllllcttlty in replacing St, tlio drako comes to tho rescue and re cognizes his parental responsibility by furnishing-a supply of down from his own breast. Tlio greatest lover ot tlio human race is a Toledo man. When ho slips down ho profers to havo n crowd sco him, so thoy cau havo tho fun of laughing. A two-year old child of a prominont Democrat of Des Moines adhering to tlio custom of praying for thoso in author ity, astonished her fond mamma, tho othor ovening, by closing "Now I lay mo" witli n loud "Hurrah for Gar field!"
