Fattening: Cattle on Potatoes. "Th* probabilitiee of a very large of potatoes, not only oa this continent, L<ul in some of the countries of the old world as well, will result in low prices for thai commodity," says Farming. In view of this sad the poorness of some of the grain crop* in places, th* coining winter will afford an excellent opporlunity for feeder* to experiment with cooked potato** a* part of the ration for fattening cattle.

The pi operation ot the f**d was done by spreading luocieeive layers of hay and potatoes sufficient for the whole lot of caltl* for on* day, mixing them with a hovel, and allowing th* mixture te remain in a heap. A alight fermeutation waithus created, and the animate ate it greedily. The long hay wa* fed by i ttelf. "The gain* mad* by the oattle were *ur- pri*mg when we consider that no grain at all wa* fad.

Th* appearance of London itiotf i* a note I the inoreaufi of amenity and agreeable- eta in Kngland, lay* a writer in Harper's Magazine. It is certainly a brighter and jleaianler city than it wai twenty-five peari ago. The weather hai alwayi much to do with it, and the aeason of IS9T>, with continual tunthine and eoft air, would make almoet any place endurable. Kut London laa changed. It wa* not formerly the mere fancy of the traveler that he went te the continent with a gloomy image on hi* mind of a general grimy blackne**, and a aorntile impreasion that there might be tomewhere a world ooinpoMil of intermin- able liaker and (lower itreete monotony. A* long ago a* that flowers were in little uae anywhere a* external decoration* in a city even on the Continent . Herne wa* th* timt place where I taw window garden*, and flowere banked on the window ledgee and balconies, and 1 will remember th* charm they gave to that old town. This faihiop of decoration fortunately iproad, and ha* now gone Tin WORLD OVBB, I think it ha* don* as much a* anything elie to change the aspect of London. It ha* given th* needed color te the otherwiM gloomy housei, and hi transformed many of tb* street* into highway* of beauty. London hae alto been cultivating it* tmall park* and public flower garden!, and in almoit every quarter the eye it pleased with greenery and bloom. Yen nan not drive or walk far in any direction that yeu do not com* upon a green aquar* or a little nook or court where there are tree* and tower*. And the** ar* 10 numerou* a* te change th* a*|>ert of the great town, and relieve it af the itone aud black-brick Bglin*** that wai formerly *o oppreuive. With th* great amount of life in tneitreete and the (ay apparel, with the flnwen in thi window! and thi bloom in arch** and count, it leemi te me that London in the umtner i* the hand*ome*t and mo*t inter- etting city in th* world. Then- hai been lie an improvement in domeitio arch- itecture, an introduction of variety, whioh hai relieved the previoni monotony. It elm*, in ihort, a* if London hai been trying intelligently to beautify Iteolf and hai succeeded in spite of the discouraging climate and blackening coal smoke. It i* not, however, a clean oity te dwell in, a* one ipnedily dwcover* from hi* wath bill* that Ii to siy, th* human mole* shut tip in compressed air underneath the bed of th* Stable Comfort In Winter. river *r. grubbing their way along at tho rate of from twelve to fifteen foet a week, Warm stable, and proper feed are eas.n. ^ j( ^ ^ ^ ^^ ^ ^ Q , tial In keeping oatlle in a thriving con- 1 ^^^ for ^ ^ o( ^ d ^ un Aw dition during winter, but few live up to ... , B . ... , tannel will reach th* tint oaiaaon on Ih* Middle**x ude of tb* Tbamee about the middle part of October. If that ikonld b* achieved, then thu lub-aqueou* portion of th* work, 1,212 feat in length, will hav* been got through within a twelve-mouth, a 'eat never before accomplished in the time. It ha* been a difficult and a tfangeroui task, and it is to be feared that the portion now remaining to be done 10t> or 1J5 feel may prove the moat troublesome of any. In evidence of tin* it may be stated hal th* contractor! Pearson A Son, havs just purchased additional punipiug machinery. They have Tbamee conservancy permission to throw down into tbe river an additional covering of clay, and their men are actually working at thu moment under an air pres- sure of thirty-four pounds to the square irch over and above the ordinary atmoi- pberic pressure in caisson No. - consider- ably greater than they have ever bad M resort te before.

On the other hand, if they overdo their prrtiur* it 1* liable lo bluw on* up .hrougb the bed of ihe earth and th* water above them. Then, of course, th* preuure has cone, and iu wuuld com* ih* deluge. How real is the peril of thi* kind of work hai juit been illuitrated by an accident near Melbourne, where ewer i* beiiig constructed uudsr th* Yarra by tha ordinary shieM syitem. The water oaxie in upon them, and Ih* engineer of the work and five of his men were drowned together. Thi* Blackwall tunnel is, of course, a much larger aud formidable undertaking, and it is perhaps this very fact that has secured immunity from serious mishap.

Th* dairyman with a lilo need not be told what to feed hie *tock. Thoee with- out one ihould not compel thi itock to eat etraw, a* it 11 poor economy. Good clover hay, or at lean that which i* part clover, and a imall ration of gram will keep ilnok in rood condition. Heavy gram feeding will not pay in butter making notwith- standing goo, I anthoritu* say it will, but thi itock will be in better condition, the manure richer, and it will be a pleaiun te aae nock *l**k and fat. Keep the animal* well bed.!*.). Thii will pay in thi added comfort both te yonraelf and Hock, and all., in the value of the) manure, and that i* by far th* belt n*e a farmer can make of hit atraw.

Some Dairy Don'ts Don't think scrub sirei can produce choice itock for any purpose. Don't keep oalvel in dark, filthy places and expect them to thrive. Don't be afraid to spend money for a sire from a first-class family. Don't make your oowi drink water that you could not drink yournlf. Don't feed a calf urain before it* age is inmciint 10 it chews a cud. Don't try te b* called a large dairyman by ih* number of cow* you keep.

Don't run or worry eowi going te and from the paitur* or in the milking yard or table, Don't think to raise a calf for a milch cow and feed it up to it* tint* for partur- ition for a beef annual. Don't bave pasture* so ihort that oowi mutt work every hour of the day and night to gat enough to eat. Don't forget that a oow if decidedly a oreature of habit and in all way* try to conform to h*r peculiar habits). Don't feel tbat your oow* at* waiting tim* if they lie in ihe ihade and chew their oudi for a few ho uri *aok day.
