Hens and Cows.

A SUBSCRIBER asks how many hens
equal the profits of an average cow per
year?
That depends very much, perhaps chief
ly, upon the management. Some farmers
manage to get a profit of fifty, and in rare
cases nearly a hundred dollars per COW,
while otherssecarcely make COW pay.
Some poultry men and many boys who
devote their time and attention to it make
more than dollar per hen, while Others
hardly do more than make both ends
meet" So you see it is hard telling. TAX
ing the average of fair management we
should say about twenty five. But with
firstrate management of hens and poor
management of cows it would take less
number. With first-rate treatment of cows
and neglect of the hens it would take
that many more.-NdssdchuSets Plough-
man.

Our readers will remember that the
Commercial called attention not long ago to
the breaking out of new disease among
the cattle of Dutchess county and that
vicinity. This disease has assumed such
formidable shape that the Secretary of the
State Agricultural ciety has felt himself
called upon to put the farmers, who reside
along the line of the cattle traffic, ON their
guard 11pa l.H
The new scodrge which is making such
sad havoc with, cattle, is known as the
" foot and mouth" disease. N ravages are
more extensive and fatal in Great Britain
than in this country. 1t is in the highest
degree contagious, and can be very easily
spread throughout sound herd of cattle
The contagion may be conveyed by those
who have had charge of the diseased ami
mails, as well as from the manure and litter
which is thrown from cars or pens in
which any of the afflicted beasts may have
been confined. During the prevalence of
this disease the milk OF cows exposed to
its influence should not be given to other
animals, or be used as human food.
Professor Low, of Cornell University,
has made the new disease the subject OF
examination and study He has prepared
brief statement of its symptoms, and we
herewith publish them for the benefit of
this community and neighborhood:

The Scarlet Fever.

THIS dreadful scOurge Is reported as
prevalent in several places in the State, and
some cases are reported here. 1t seems
that the disease is somewhat modified OF
late years, but still it often assumes a
malignant form, and battles all skill AT
present there are SO few cases that alarm
would be unwarranted; nevertheless, pre-
caution is now, as ever, justitiable. The
disease is prOpa6ated by infection and con.
tagion, and appears to be transmitted in
proportion to its malignity, that is, the
worst cases are the most surely catching"
The disease is not so readily transmitted in
the earlier stages, as il is when conva-
leScence is established. Then the skin
comes off in a fine dust, and then contact
with the patient is almost certain to infect.
II is at this time that children, having
been shutup in tie house. are most anxious
to get out, and their parents having Just
received their darlings back from a
dangerous illness, are most inclined to
crafty them. Thus it ~ that the disease
so often assumes the characteristics Of an
epidemic, and DESTROYS hundreds of chill
dren. THERE'S no absolute protection OF
scarlet fever known TO medical science,
Caution will do much, and preparation
of belladonna is recommended by almost
all physiciansas a prophylactic, but we be-
lieye no sound medical authority regards
II as invariably eflectual. The best thing
that can be done is TO guard against infec.

Keep the Small Potatoes until Spring.

FARMERs frequently feed their small po-
tatoes to attening pigs in the fall. It
would be much better to keep them until
spring, and then cook them, mix them
with little meal o d feed Ntiem to snck-
ling sows and young pigs. In the spring
before thecloVerisr ready TO turn into, we
are generally short of succulent food, where
as in the autumn we have apples. pump,

etables that will not keep until spring.
The value of potatoes as feed for stock
does not lie 50 much. IN tho mere nutri-
ment they contain as in their giving tone

more useful when fed out to young pigs

Making Bread without Flour.

|
A FRENCIrMAN named Sezille has discov-
eredamethod of making bread directly from
unground wheat, without first grinding and
boiling it into flour. The making of bread
by this new system is q three.fold pro-
cess-namely, washing the wheat, fermen-
tation, and the final admixture and flavor
ing. The grain is put in a vessel, covered
with water, and stirred until the lighter
grains and extraneOus particles are either
dissolved or left floating on the surface.
The mass is then freed from the water, and
put into cylinder, like a nutmeg-gTater,
whose revolutions remove the outer skin
of the grain. This is all that Is really nee
essary TO remove. Next, the wheat thus
cleansed Is immersed In twice its own
weight of water, heated to seventy-fiv de-
grees, to which has been added one part of
half dry yeast, and five or six ounces of
glucose to two hundred parts Of water. A
days exposure to this bath secures the nee
essary degree of absorption and fermenta-
tion, and the color will also have been ex
tracted from the exterior surface of the
grain. The water being then removed, tn.
wheat will not be far from white in color.
Next the stiiIening mass is put through
rollers, which mash it into a glutinous
pulp, and mix regularly through the whole
bulk of all the remaining particles of skin
or bran. The dough-for such it now is
is then put into trough, favored with
salt which has been dissolved in water, and
given an opportunity to absorb more water
If necessary, and then thoroughly kneadet
| by hand Nothing, now, is needed but e
treat it just as flour dough is treated, and
when sufficiently light, hand it over to thu
oven. 1t is claimed that by this process
the eater secures the entire nutriment o
the wheat, and that it produces oDe-thirC
more bread than under the present system
II is probable that the bread thus mad
| will lack that whiteness which is so mucl
sought after by modest housewives, bu
then the result will be most nutritious
Owing, however TO the time consumed il
preparing the grain for the oven, it is no
likely that this new process will for som
time to come supersede the old-iashionet
