ONIONS AND POULTRY

ONIONS AND POULTRY
Scarcely too much can be said
in praise of onions for fowls
They seem to be a preventive
and remedy for various disea-
ses to which domestic fowls are
liable. Having frequently tes-
ted their excellence, we can
speak understandingly. For
gapes and inflammation Of the
throat, eyes and head, onions
are almost q specific. We
would, therefore, recommend
giving fowls, and especially
young chickens, as many as
they will eat, as often as twice
or three times a week. They
should be finely chopped. A
small addition of corn meal is
an Improvement.

GER.-"Can you tell me-" said
a stranger in a ballroom, "who
that lady is near the window
that very plain looking lady?"
'"That is my sister, sir" said
the person addressed, with a
very formidable look.
"No, no, | don't mean her."
said the unfortunate interroga-
tor. 81 mean that ugly woman
leaning against the plan; there's
about as much expression in her
face as there is a bowl Of bonny
clabber."
"That, sir, is my wife"
"No, no." gasped the misera-
bic stranger, the perspiration
starting from every pore
"Good gracious, | wish l could
make you understand me! /
mean that blear-eyed object in
the pink silk, the one SO awful
homely. 1 should be afraid
she would splinter a looking
glass by looking in it. There
she is looking at us now."
"That, sir" said the gentle
man with fierce calmness, sis
my eldest daughter"
The stranger darted from the
room and cleared the premises
as though he had been struck
with a presentment that a pow
der magazine was going to ex-
plode in that room in less than
three seconds.

HONEY, like most vegetable
products, should be fresh every
year. 1t may be easily kept
from one seasUn to another; but
when kept beyond that time,
unless very carefully stored in
a warm temperature, it will
crystalize in the comb, and it is
liable to ferment when in jars
sepaeated from the comb.

very much below those of the
