Fouls IN Stables. Some farmers are
not as particular as they should be in ex-
Guiding fowls from the stables in which
their cows are kept. We have seen hens
completely perched on the backs of cows,
wholly Indifferent to the efforts of the poor
beasts to shake them off. This is a great
annoyance to COWS, and keeps them in a
fretful condition, and thus impairs their
productiyeness. Beside, the droppings,
which lodge upon and besmear the animals
are alike offensive TO the skin and olfacto-
ries of the victims of this hen intrusion. -
They contaminate the feed and hangers Of
cows, thus depriving them of the benefit of
a considerable portion of the food allotted
them. Fowls are good things, but, mix
ed with dairy stock, they are out Of place,
and should have separate domicil.

FaHeniag Poultry. The London Field
states that poultry, properly fed, will &C
quire all the fairness needful for marketing
purposes in a fortnight or three weeks at
most. Their diet should be Indian, cat
Or barley meal, scalded in milk Or water
the former is the BEST as it will expedite
the fattening process. They should be fed
early in the morning, at noon, and also in
the evening just before going to roost. A
plentiful supply of pure fresh water, plen-
ty Of gravel, sliced cabbage or turnip tops.
1t the fowls are required to be very fat,
some trimmings of fresh mutton suet may
by chopped up and scalded with their
feed, or they may be boiled in milk alone
and poured over the meal. This renders
the flesh frmer than it otherwise would be-
When fit to kill, feeding should be stopped
for twelve hours OR more, that the intes-
tines may become comparatively empty.

The Canary Bird and the Mirror.

A pretty incident is related of canary
bird. The door Of the birds cage was oc-
casionally left open that he might enjoy
the freedom of the ROOM One day he
happened to fly to the mantle whereon
was mirror. Here was new discovery
Of the most profound interest. He gazed
long and curiously in the mirror, and
came to the conclusion he had found a
mate. Going back to his cage he selected
seed from the box, and brought it in his
bill as an offering to the stranger. In
vain the canary exerted himself to make
his new found friend par5ake, and becom-
ing weary, he stepped back few inches
from the glass and poured forth his sweet
est notes, pausing now and then for re-
ply. None came, and moody and dis
heartened he few back to his perch and
hung his head in shame and silence for the
rest Of the day; and although the door
was repeatedly left open he refused to come
out again.

ONION SETS. But few persons. seem to
know that onion sets can be had in any
way but by raising the top or button on
ions. The market gardener long since
found better way of getting sets, and at
the same time such as make better oniens.
AS this is the time to plant, we propose
telling our country friends how to raise
onion sets. Select as poor piece Of
ground as you have, and after ploughing
it, harrow or rake down level, and then
SOW onion seed, quite thsck, in drills about
one foot apart. AS they come up do not
touch them, unless they get too weedy, in
which case pull out the weeds. When
they grow till the onions are the size of
bean pull them up and lay them in the sun
few days to dry, tops and all, then put
them away in some loft where they will
not freeze too much next winter. Try
this way of raising sets, and you will new
er want buttons or top sets again to plant or
raise onions from

A Snake Story.-A few weeks since
Dr. j. B. Mckay. veterinary surgeon,
was called to see a COW that was to be de-
stroyed for being mad. She gave indica-
tions OF the most excruciating pain, foam
ing at the mouth, and running in a mourn
ing and pitiful manner about the field
The doctor had her secured, and examin-
ed her mouth and found the tail of snake
which he seized and drew out. The snake
was dead, and proved to be large one,
measuring three feet four inches in length.
The cow when thus relieved, soon fecoy-
cred. The doctor has the snake now pre-
served in his Office, which he exhibits to
his friends as having been taken from
strange locality. - Wash. erpress july 8.

Let IL They Cant Make it Too Thick

\ gentleman the other evening illustrated
the popularity Of the greenback policy by
citing circumstance that he witnessed last
fall. A radical stumper was holding forth
to an audience Of about forty or fifty at the
west front Of the capitol. This gentleman,
by way Of ascertaining what lie was talking
about walked over to the meeting. The
speaker had abused the democratic party as
being guilty Of such crimes that ought to
carry it to perditon faster than lightning
travels, Finally, to clnch the enormities Of
the democratic party, and in hopes his
audience would cry out Indignantly, shame,
shame he said
"Why they want to food the country with
money--with paper money"
\ republican who had done his share in
applauding the speaker, cried out
"Lct 1t come--thcy can't make it too thick for
me
The audience shouted, and the speaker
was completely taken aback. There is one
thing republican editors and stumpers will
find exceedingly difficult 20 do--to frighten
the people into the support of Grant and
CoIfax, BY asserting that it is the intention
Of the democracy to flood the country with
money. The people have the idea that if you
make money plenty you make times good
make work plenty, pay prompt and good,
and that it is not 80 hard 10 pay taxes and
get along generally. They recolleet that
when greenbacks circulated extensively, and
when no other notes we're in circulation,
money WAS abundant, and everybody seemed
TO prosper finely; and the feeling among
the people is, that the democracy cannot
make money too plenty for them ohio
