but whether fowls are Of low degree or
high pedegree, good generous treatment
never fails TO produce amply plea sing re-
suits. BY paying close attention to the
needs Of poultry, it will be found that all
sorts Of poultry are much the better for
comfortable roosts In roomy, well-roofed
houses.
Perhaps nothing has more unfavorable
effect thana leaky roof and penetrating
draught. 10 sfl. -.
lis absolutely necessary that q poultry
house should be 80 situated as 10 command
an abundance Of fresh air, If the house
is of stone OF brick, ventilation can be &C.
cured by raising one or more tiles or states
high enough to save the fowls from the
direct current Of colder air.
If the house be Of wood, as is the
general rule, and the roof be also of wood
or of felt, the same object can be gained
by making slight crevices between the
boards, OF by holes bored through the
door The door itself may be loose fit /;
by this means sufficient precaution is
taken against the danger of cold currents
OF air rushing across the heads OF fowls.
In house made of boards overlapping
one another, the roof may be perfectly
| tight, and plentiful supply of fresh air
may be obtained from the effect of the
suns rays on the side boarding and doors.
Hence it is that most experienced poul-
try fanciers prefer wooden houses to all
others, and certainly in warm weather
they merit the preference awarded TO them;
while in winter, any too open part can be
stopped up with straw or hay. Ventila-
tion is very simple and easy matter
where small movable houses are used, and
where they are not confined to one fixed
place, as Is often the case when many are
| congregated close together.
Esrthen floors are the best but to re-
move from the fowls all temptation TO
sorape them up, they should be beaten
hard, well watered on the surface, and
then smoothed with O trowel.
Every morning the houses should be
thoroughly cleaned, and the floor sprinkled
with ashes (wood ashes If postible) twice
q week. Dry sand also should be used
freely. The inside Of the houses, especi
ally the roosts, SHOULD be washed with
lime every six months, perhaps oftener
and the outer door kept open oil day, ex
| cept in stormy weather.
| See that the houses are not overcrowded
give such food as your stock seems to
thrive on best, changing it occasionally
never Withholding sound grain as por.
ton of the daily fare, and, as o general
rule let no meal be very soft, especially in
the case of chickens.
If these simple precautions are taken
success will be deserved and will be as
suredly met with.-HorttcuItu

Kicking over the Platform.

lish such statements The Chicago plat
form Is entirely consistent with the Fit.
teenth Amendment II has been held by
some Republicans like Sumner aud Yates
that Congress had the constitutional power
to confer suffrage In the loyal States upon
the disfranchised class of citizens, ahd the
Copperheads charged that the Republi,
cans, as party, held the same doctrine,
and that Congress intended 10 pass law
entranchising the blacks in those States
where they were not allowed 10 vote. To
refute this charge and TO officially reject
the Sumner Yates assumptions, the plank
IN the platform In question was inserted
by the unanimous voice OF the National
Convention. But 1t was nowhere affirmed

How to Take Out Ink Stains.

IT is certainly very much worth while
to know how to take ink spots out OF
colored clothing. The writer, "on a sum
mer's day." when 1t seemed as If one had
enough to DO to support life without extra
trouble in the torrid heat, once upset a
bottle of ink into her lap, over linen
dress, striped with brown and white, and
trimmed with many rows of brown braid.
Aghast, the first thought was that the
dress was ruined the second was to dip
the skirt AT once into warm water, rinsing
as much ink out as possible, but what was
left made rueful sight-hand breadths of
doleful thuuder-dark color, over the light
summer dress. Quick, it was again
plunged into warm solution of oxalic
acid-hot, that it might take effect sooner,
Care was taken to dip only the spots into
this liquid (there are some people SO stu
pid they will need to be told to do this }
and in inmate they faded, of course,
taking the color of the stripes with them.
The linen was rinsed in warm water
again, and wet with dilutiOn ofammonia,
which changed the skirt to its original
color, aud the dress was as good as ever.
Henceforth | keep high and sublime
courage over all ink mishaps, sure that
acid and ammonia aud care will make all
right again. The process must be gone
through as quickly as possible, when once
begun, but 1t will cancel old ink stains on
wool, cotton or linen. --HrehdRge.

Orchard Caterpillar.

THIS insect comes and goes-is sbund-
ant in some years, and in Others dissp-
pears. When the millers or moths have
left their rings or eggs on the shoot OF
trees now is the time to destroy them. A
practiced eye will see almost at glancoi il
there are any on tree, by the swelling OF
knob which one gives to shoot. Select
dark or cloudy day, or else a
day when the sky is entirely clear
avoid the bright clouds which will dazzle
and hurt the eyes--and cut every shoot
which contains the vgs, and commit them
to the fire. A single clip of the orchard
shears on pole win prevent destructive
nest OF these depredators next season.

Precautions against Injurious Insects.

TIE insect enemies of the fruit crop
are multiplying so fast. Notwithstanding
all that has been written about their habits
and the best modes of destroying them,
that the greatest vigilance will be neces-
sary in order to check their ravsges. The
cocoons of the apple-worm moth may now
be found in the crevices of the bark of
those trees on which the worms have been
most destructive. Scraping and washing
the bark, and digging into the cocoons,
are good means of checking the increase
of this troublesome insect. If borers have
penetrated the wood at the base of the
apple or peach tree, they should be dug
out and bandages of some kind placed
around the collars to prevent the parent
moth, from depositing its eggs on the bark
in summer. Lime or ashes placed around
the trees outside the bandage will be an
additional protection Western Rurdl.
