Pepper for Poultry.

Some keepers say that cayenne pepper should
be mixed with the food of fowls to promote lay
ing, while others assert that it is too artificial
a stimulant and keeps the birds in as bad
condition as medicine-fed' persons are. Let
US inquire whether 1t is as unnatural as might
at first appear. Wild gallinaceous birds of all
species season their diet plentifully with pung-
ent aromatic herbs and buds. The fine flavor
of the partridge's flesh is owing to its highly
spieed forest fare, such as wintergrecn and
checkerberries So with other kinds of game.
Domesticated birds have lost their peculiar
game flavor, because their Diet is comparative
ly fiat and inspid, thong h nutritious. Audubon,
studying the habits of the wild turkey tells
how the mother bird plucks the buds of the
spice-bush and gives them to her young. We
have for number of years given pepper or
something of the kind, mixed in small quanti-
ties with the soft food OF chickens and grown
fowls, summer and winter, believing that it
makes the diet not unnatural, but more nat
ural; and that health, as we'll as laying, is pro-
NOTED by it, African cayenne is the cheapest
condiment; but ground mustard and ginger
may be occasionally substituted, for variety,
and'part of the time no seasoning should be
used. Boiling water should be turned upon
pepper before using, so as to make it less con-
centrated, the pepper tea, sediment and all,
being stirred into the meal, a heaping tea
spoonful of the dry pepper to peck A little
salt should be added. To be sure, it is said
that salt is poisonous to hens, because 'they
are sometimes killed by eating great deal of
it. But considerable quantity of salt exists
in the bones of all animals 1t is agreed that
it promotes the thrift of cattle, sheep, and
swine; and as for birds, it is proved to be es-
pecially necessary for pigeons, a tribe living
on very similar food to that needed by fowls.
But we would give it sparingly, sailing the
dough rather less than most persons do their
own food.
Charcoal is sometimes eaten by fowls with
great avidity. 1t should always be kept by
them, pounded to the size of kernels of grain,
for the varying needs of animals direct their
appetite, and therefore what they crave will be
good for them. AS all birds that live prinsi-
pally upon the ground swallow much earth
with their food, it probably aids digestion
and some recommend that the chicken dough
should be thrown upon the ground. 1t upon
a fresh spot of earth, we have no objection
but filthy, tainted soil can not improve it.
There is a common tradition expressed in the
saying, Hen Swon't do well unless they can
get at the ground" and we know that cattle,
after being stabbed all winter, sometimes eat
fresh earth greediy. and a sod is'given each
fattening calf to lick for the improvement Of
his appetite When the ground is frozen, il
is our custom to add trihe of clean loan OF
subsoi to the soft feed of fowls. They will
pick out much earthly matter from pile Of
coal al-ashes.-He0rth and Home.
Smyrna times., 1869-07-14

A correspondent comes to the defense of wo-
men against the current notion that they are
peculiarly addicted to gossip, alleging that in
a country, grocery store, among barrels of mo-
lasses and piles of salt fish, more gossip is talk
ed by men in one evening than in all the hous-
es in the town.
Smyrna times., 1869-07-14

NUTRITIoN.-The matter of properly select
ing and preparing food, and its judicious va
ration, is one which does not receive the at
tention that it ought The great chemist and
Psychologist MageDdie, rnadesom interesting
experiments on the effects of certain kinds of
food. He feed geese on gum only, and they
died on the sixteenth day; he fed some on
starch only, and they died on the twenty fourth
day he fed others on boiled white of eggs
only, and they died on the forty sixth day he
fed others on the three kinds mixed together,
and they fattened instead of dying. Here is
proof of the necessity Of not only varying but
mixing food as much as possible, in order to
supply the waste and necessities of every part
of the system. In the first instance, gum
afforded a nourishment similar to starch and
sugar, serving to sustain animal heat, but not
to restore the waste of the tissues, on account
of the absence of nitrogen. In the second
instance, the starch served to keep up the
animal heat, and, being more highly organ
lied than gum, enabled the birds to maintain
existence a few days longer. The want. of
nitrogen, however, proved fatal, os in the case
of gum food. Those fed on the white of eggs
alone had the nitrogen afforded by the albu-
men, but eventually died from want of supply
OF animal heat capable of being yielded by the
starch. Those fed on the three kinds of food
mixed not only survived, but throve because
all the wants of the system were supplied.

"QUIT THAT"-Quit what. Quit telling
your innocent, confdine, trembling children
about ghosts and hObgobins.
You are throwing soffdw upon young hearts
that will hang there through life. How many
mothers there are who quiet their children by
saying the bug-a-boos viii come and take them
off +!
Come, old niger, come aDd-Well will
you hush, then right this minute?''
The poor child believes all its own mother
says, and why shouldn't it? 1t ought to be-
lieve. That is a filial duty. The sobbing,
futtering heart, is quiet, but not composed.
Those fearful eyes close in a sleep of terror;
weary, broken rest follows; the child dreams
but oh who can tell the sadness of a child
while it dreams in a sleep frightened upon it
by alarms of all that is terrible and repulsive
Parents think of all this. See that your
children hear of no ghostly lessons.
How heavenly the teachings of that familiar
hymn, breathed from true mothers soul
over a sleeping child =
Hush my babe lie still and slumber,
Holy angels guard thy bed

How many kiss has been given, how many
a curse, how many caress, how many look
Of hate, how many kind word, how many a
promise has been broken, how many a soul
lost, how many loved one lowered into the
narrow chamber, how many babe has gone
from earth to heayen-how many a little crib
or cradle stands silent now, which last Satur.,
day night held the rarest treasure of the heart?
One of the rules of a new croquette-club is
that children, dogs and smoking are not

A Good Joke.

A very good joke was perpetratsd yes
terday, by Hon. James Ross, who is here
writing up the fair for Milwaukee Sen
tiaet. The officers of our Agriculture
Society, in order to have little sport,
had offered handsome premium for the
biggest humbug, which together with the
baby show, mule race and other funny
affairs they hoped would at least vary
the exercises, if not increase their ex-
ehequer. Ross thought he saw a chance
to make his expenses. SO he went up to
