Winter Food for Poultry.

To insure a good supply of eggs during
the winter we must feed our hens with ma
terials that contain good supply of those
substances from which eggs are formed.
Fresh meat chopped fine. bits of fish, ripds
of cheese, and such like things saved from
the table to-day, will come back to the ta-
BILE in due time, in the form of new laid
eggs.
That the poultry may remain healthy
during the winter, they should occasional
ly be fed with vegetables. Boiled cabbage
is good, and the same may be said of pota-
toes and carrots.
Hens like variety of food, and in the
winter when they are in close quarters,
and their digestion is accordingly impaired
from want of exsrcise, they require some
cooked food. One winter, when eggs We're
scarce and high, says a correspondent, we
obtained from dozen young Bramas all
the eggs we wanted for pies and pudding,
as well as for serving up "fricd or on the
half shell;' and this is how we did it: We
gave the hens once day, good meal of
hash, much such an article as is prepared
for the table, only made of less choice ma
terial; we took cooked meat, boiled pota-
toes and onions, choppedthem together and
seas 'ned with pepper. Such dish is not
costly one-livers and scraps of meat re-
jected on the table; potatoes and onions
too small to use, and little fat that would
go into the soap grease, will, when chopp-
ed and warmed up, make savory dish for
the fowls in the hennery.
In preparing for obtaining eggs We must
not forget that the eggs will require shells.
For this end We should lay by a suitable
amount of bones, or else should pulverize
such as are in the meat we are daily cook
ing, and keep this where it will not be-
come covered with filth. Besides this the
fowls should have from time to time, some
coarse, sharp sand or gravel, to serve the
place of teeth.

Horses or Oxen.

The question is occasionally raiaed az tc
whether horses or oxen are the most yalu.
able, for farm labor, but it remains an open
one for the very good reason that it admits
of no exact solution. For some kinds Of
work on the farm, horses may be the best;
for others, oxen. In either case much
will depend on the fact whether or not the
animals are properly trained or broken to
the work required. As general thing a
span of horses will plough over more
ground in day than a yoke of oxen, be-
cause they walk faster, yet occasional excep-
tions to this occur. We remember to have
aided in turning over fallow of twenty
five acres in which span of horses and a
yoke of oxen were employed. 1t was de-
cided to test their relative capacity for the
work-both teams being allowed their nat
ural gait. Equal sections of land were as
signed to both teams, and the oxen came
out invariably a little ahead-gaining time
at each turning of the corners. They were
then tried on the same lands for day /;
with no marked advantage on either side
In this particular instance the oxen were
broke to the work; held their heads well
up and marched along with steady, state
ly step. In this particular instance the
oxen were better for ploughing than the
horses, for the simple reason that. per-
forming equal work, they cost less for
keeping, and were more readily prepared
for work.
Where the field Of operation is at any
considerable distance from the barn or pas
ture, the horse would have the advantage
in the celebrity of his movements in reach
ing it. As general thing, the summer
season through, horses can do more work
than oxen for this reason, if no other, they
can stand the heat better Both are i'm
portant on considerable farm; and if the
OK is found to be worth the most when age
suspends labor, the horse will have made
up the difference by the ccltrity of his
movements, and the more diversified uses
for which his labor has been made avala-
BILE. Both are good In their places, and
no extensive farmer is properly equipped
for business who is destitute of either

The Care OF Children,s Teeth.

The following good advice on this I'M
portant-but too often neglected subject
is contributed by DIR. j. w. Lyon to the
Herald of Health:
AS soon as the first teeth are fully erup-
ted, the child should be taught to cleanse
and brush them daily, using soft brush,
which will stimulate and strengthen the
gums, and keep particles of food from
lodging between the teeth, where it would
otherwise remain, and by decomposing,
generate the acid which is destructive to
the enamel. Many children suffer from
the decay at the first; this should not be
allowed 1t Is very important that every
one OF the temporary teeth should be pre-
served sound in its place, until it has full
filled its mission, which is to give the
child something to masticate with until
the permanent set are completed, and the
jaw sufficiently expanded to receive them
Then, if the process of nature has gone
on right, the rNots of the first set will have
been absorbed away, and they will drop
out or can be easily removed by the fingers
thus remaining to the very last to keep
the space open for the permanent teeth.
AN""J PSiooho hdNC all iucd IHdt tHe
first teeth ought to be removed in order
to make room for the second, and if they
find the tooth loose, off they 90 to the
dentist to have it extracted, but if he is an
honest man he will say No. Nature is
doing moro for child than l can, let well
enough alone. Sometimes this process of
absorption does not go on properly, and
the second tooth is seen coming through
the gums either side or outside the proper
line, while the first still remains firm in
its place. In such case good dentist
should always be consulted, who will
know just what to do. 1t often happens
that the second teeth come In crowded
and tapping over each other. This can
all be remedied by skilful dentist, and
should be done quite young, before the
jaw bones get too firm and hard. The
best time for regulating the teeth is be-
tween the ages of II and Is years.

thirty to forty-fve feet distant from each
other. Some varieties of apples require
more distance than others. The large Ro-
mantle, on good soil, is a rapid grower,
and each tree will cover a very considera-
space; but in ordinary soils this variety
and all others will bear we'll and be thrifty
when planted fifteen by fifteen to eighteen
by eighteen feet. We have around us
here, in several localities, walnut, hickory,
persimmon and plum groves; and 1 have
notice that in those groves Or clumps there
are every year many trees with heavy
crops of fruit on them"
This matter of the distance of planting
trees is certainly worthy of experiment !;
for if a more certain crop comes of close
planting, we have double advantage, as
their is economy of ground and full bear
ing orchard at an earlier date from plant
ing.

DEAR EDIToR OF TRANscRIrT Per.
haps some of your numerous readcrs would
be glad to know how matters are progress
ing at the Middletown Academy, and What
has been the success during the past win
ter term SO if you will allow u small
space in your columns, will cadcayor to
give brief summary of our affairs. We
are glad, in doing soy that we can report
favorably.
Our numbers show steady increase,
The term opened with about forty and
closed with over fifty scholars. The aver
age attendance has been very good. Quite
number have not lost day during the
term. The studies pursued have been
Reading, Writing, Spelling, Arithmetic.
Grammar, Geography, United States and
English History, Algebra, Geometry.
Book Keeping, Astronomy, Familiar
Science, French, Latin, Vocal and Instru-
mental Music. No, of visits received,
sixty-.wo.
There have been four public spelling
matches, and ON these occasions deep in
terest has been manifested on the part of
all to excel. The following have been the
victors; Charles Mcgee, of Milton; Mollis
Blackiston, Fredus VanEekle, and Kate
Pennington.
The following are perfect in department,
that is, have received no marks Of indeco-
rum: Mollie Blackistou, Carrie Eliasou,
Philip Boone, Fletcher Burris, Henry Coll
clazer, Charles Mcgee. Henry Hynson.
Willie Davis, Charles Lano and James
Gears.
The examinations on Tuesday and We'd
nesday of last week were very satisfactory.
The students were manifestly interested
and showed decided improvement in all
the studies pursued during the term,
The Exhibition was the result of labor
on the part of the teachers and pupils
wholly out of school hours. We here
take the opportunity to thank the lovers Of
education for their liberal patronage OH
that occasion and promise that the proceeds
shall be laid out to the best of our ability
for the comfort and promotion of the school,
Our object in coming here was, (has heen)
to build up first=olass school one wor-
thy of the name, and we know of no rea-
son why it cannot be brought about. The
foundation is already laid and has only to
be sanctioned by the liberal patronage of
all those who have children or wards to
educate. TEACHER,

OH WHY SHOULD THE SPIRIT OF
MORTAL BE PROUDt


oh why should the spirit of mortal be prouds
Like a swift, feeting meteor, a fast flying cloud,
a Hash OF the lightning break Of the wave
lie passes from life to his rest In the grave.
The leaves Of the oak and the willow shall fade
BE scattered around and together be laid
And the young and old and the low and the high,
Shall noulder to dust, aud together shall lie.
The infant and mother, attended and loved,
The mother that infants affection who proved;
The husband that mother and infant who blessed,
Each, all away to their dwellings of rest.
The hand Of the king that the sceptre hath borne;
The brow Of the priest that the mitre hath worn;
The eye Of the sage and the heart of the brave
Are hidden and'lo In the depths of the grave.
The peasant whose lot was to and to reap;
The hcrisnan who climbed with his goats up the steep
The beggar who wandered in search Of his bread,
hafe fadcd away like the grass that we tread.
So the multitude goes like the flower of the weed,
That withers away To let Others succeed;
so the multitude comes even those behold,
TO repeat every tale that has often been told.
For are the same our fathers have been,
We see the same sights fathers have seen;
We drink the same stream and view the same sun,
And run the same course our fathers have run.
The thoughts thinking our fathers would think,
From the death we are shrinking fathers would shrink
TO the life We are clingng they also would cling;
But IL speeds for all, like bird on the wing.
They loved, but the story we cannot unfold,
They scorned but the heart of the naughty is cold
They grieved but wall from their siumbers will come
They joyed but the tongue Of their gadncss is dumb
They tied, ay, they died; we things that are now,
That walk ON the turf that lies over their brow,
And make in h.ir dwellings u transient abode
Meet the things that they met their ilgrimage road
Yea. hope and dependency, pleasure and pain,
We mingle together in sunshine and rain
And H. snic and Il o tear the song and the dirge
Stil follow each other like surge upon surge
'Tis the wink Of nm eye, tits the draught Of BREATH
From the blossom Of health to the raleuess Of death
From the gilded saloon to the bier and the shroud
Oh why should the spirit Of mortals be proud?

REMEDY FOR INTESTINAL WoRMs.-The
Boston journal of Chemestry states on the
authority of Mr.. Il. G. Haserick, of Lake
Village-a chemist of some note and a
gentleman who has spent considerable
time in investigating the habits of intes-
tinal worms in animals-that worms in
horses may be cured by simply keeping
the external orifce well annointed with
lard, and that this remedy will completely
cure every case of worms in the intestincs
in one week. From his observation he is
satisfied that worms in the intestinal canal
cannot propagate their species without ac-
cess to light and air, and he believed the
prevalent idea that the parasitic ovum is
deposited in the mucous follicles of the
stomach and intestines, and is there devel-
oped and matured, is entirely incorrect.
The intestinal cavities are not the ma
tural breeding places for any variety of
species, and the instinct of the worm lead
it to crawl to the exterior orfce and there
outside the folds of the sphincter muscle
the eggs are deposited and hatched The
process is a rapid one, the egg requiring
but five or six hours after it is deposited to
germinate and produce new animal which
at once enters the intestinal canal as its
natural feeding ground and home. AS the
life of the worm does not exceed six days,
Mr.. Haserlok claims that if the anus can
be destroyed so as to prevent repetition
of life. the animal will in one week be en-
tirely free Of the trouble, the dead worms
passing away in the faces. f.
In pursuing his investigations regarding
the habits of the worms, Mr.. HasericE
tried numerous agencies for an external ap-
plication, before becoming sure of the vir-
tues of lard for the purpose. He says he
has observed the worms approach the orr
fee, move about, and return to die, being
unable to lay their eggs upon the oily sur
face. No internal medicine of any kind is
necessary.
MIR Haseriok also asserts that children
can be relieved in the same way, by the
application of lard to the anus. The Sc
we're itching in that locality is caused by
the parasites crawling to the surface to de-
posit their egg, and If this can be preven-
ted so that no new families may hatch and
colonixe, the old ones soon die out and re-
lief Is given.

Extraordinary wheat Crops.

fH zw- ~ ~
Cot- ARAM WHANS, of Elkton, Md,
furnished to the Southern Cultivator, pub
lished at Augusta, Ga. the following sac-
count of FIVE extraordinary crops Of wheat.
in successioa, grown upon ten. acre lot,
near Elkton, some years ago. His letter
to the Cultivator, bears date. III
ELKroN, Md. Jan. 9th, 1913.
DEAR SIR.-I observe in your paper Of
the 2lst ult request that should give
you some information respecting five sue
o1ssive crops of wheat grown on a ten acre
lot, which formerly belonged to me at this
place. The lot was clear of timber as
long as had any knowledge, except two
or three black walnut trees. The soil is
light sandy loan mould; it had been in
clover and timothy for some years, then
put in corn, and it produced $50 bushels
of good sound corn, then ploughed the
next spring, and 20 bushels of barley
sowed, produced SEQ bushels. That fall
manured over with stable manure, plough
ed once, and 20 bushels of good red chaff
wheat sowed and narrowed each way,
The produce was 422 bushels of wheat,
weighing 81 lbs. to the bushel; the second
year manured over with stable manure and
ploughed once as before, lined aud bar-
rowed in, produce 400 bushels, Third
year being very dry season. ploughed a
few furrows round tie lot and set fire to
the stubblc and turned it into the earth;
then gave it light coat of stable manure
ploughed once, lined and narrowed as be-
fore; produce $50 bushels Fourth year
covered over with stable manure, ploughed
once and narrowed as before, produce 400
bushels. Fifth year covered over lightly
with stable manure, ploughed once, lined
and narrowed in as before, produced 300
bushels. sowed my wheat about the
18th of September, never ploughed but
once year, and narrowed in both ways
changing my seed every year. 1t was not
disturbed by any insect during that time,
Some of my ncighbars complained of the
fly and rust affecting their crops, but mine
was not affected with either. l attribute
the small crop of the fifth year, to my hav-
ing seeded one half of the lot with white .
wheat-the produce of that half was only
100 bushels.
Respectfully your friend,

DR.. Trimble, of New Jersey. success,
full fruit culturist, gives the following as
the result of his experience in destroying
the pests of orchards l. That the most
successful way to conquer the cprculio is
to gather the fruit az it falls, and feed 1t to
stock or destroy 1t, as it is by this fallen
fruit that the curculio propagates Its spe-
cies, 8. That the fruit of tho Rpple-trec
may be protected from the anple-tree
moths by wrapping around each tree two
or three times rope made of straw. The
moths will barber in this rope, and can
then be destroyed. That the only way
TO kill the peach-tree borer is to cut it out
with knife, not only once in season.
but to follow it up every two weeks until
exterminated. After the first going over
an orchard, this will be little or no trou-
BILE, as each tree can be attended to.

There is one thing that nearly every
body knows, and hardly anybody attends
to--that is, to sprinkle lime on their roofs
once a year, either in fall or spring. If
the shingles are covered over so thick
with moss, the lime soon clears it off, lea
wing the roof clean and white, and good
for dozen years longer. 1t ought to be
put on very thick, and rainy. day is best
for the work, Strong wood ashes will
answer almost as well, to keep old roofs
in repair, but they will not look as nice.
To make new shingles last three or four
times the usual period, they need only to
be soaked few day in tank half-fall Of
thick lime water, which must be stirred
up well before the shingles are put jn.--
