Fowls EATING THEIR FEATHERS. This
is one Of the most annoying habits to which
domestic fowls are addicted. 1t is morbid
appetite, apparently induced in the outset
by the impatience of the fowls under confne-
ment. 1t is very difficult to cure, and we
have known-it to be kept up till some indi-
viduals of the flock who were made special
victims, were almost entirely denuded of
their feathers, and sometimes haveeven had
theirentrails torn out The best preventives
are animal food, raw bones, oyster shells and
charcoal, broken fine, and a. variety of grains
with clear water and clean apartments
Sometimes particular fowl shows a more
inveterate dispo 81 ton to eat feathers than
the rest Of the flock; it is best to remove or
kill such fowls It is supposed that this
habit is first induced while the fowls are
moulting, and their pin-feathers, are filed
with blood of which they are very fond

VERY WELL PUT.-Some one writes both
gracefully and forcibly: 81 would be glad
to see more parents understand that when
they spend money judisiouslytoi improve and
adorn the house and the grounds around it,
they are in effect paying their children pre-
MUM to stay at home, as much as possible,
to enjoy it; but that when they spend mon
cy unnecessarily in fine clothing and jewel
~ for their children, they are paying them
a premium to spend their time away from
home-that is, In those places where they
can attract the most attention and make the
most display"

SALT FoR ANIMAhs.-Ata "a late meeting
Of the New-Yo ork Farmers Club, the ques-
tion of giving salt to animals was discussed,
when Prof. Nash said, ''thatis an essential
element ofaninal life. When partaken of
beyond proper limits, it is injurious. Incer-
tain localities it is essential to render food
palatable Itis good aperient many times.
In some parts of the world it exists in the
food-asin salt hay, for example-in sufi-
cient quantities not to require any more.
Shut off a human being from food contain
ing saline material and he could not survive
only short time, and would die most ex-
crutiating death. There is salt in the soil
and it passes into the plants that form hu-
man food and the subsistencefor dumb ami
mails. The correct rule is, let every animal
have access to salt or saline material at plea
sure. The taste viii direct when the system
needs salt. If animals ina state of nature
did not really need salt they would have no
appetite for it."
