MILK AS A PREVENTIVE OF LEAD POI
soNING.-M. Didierean, a red lead man
ufacturer in France, states that he tried /
every possible way TO keep his wOrkmen .
in good health. but did not wholly sue
coed in preventing lead COLES until by |
mere accident he found that two of his |
men were never affected in that way. In /
quiry brought out the fact that these men
regularly took milk as drink with their
meals. He was thus lead to try the ex-
pertinent of making the use of milk IA
litre a day. compulsory with the work
men, and he succeeded by this means in
keeping all of them free from any sym
tom of lead disease for the past eighteen
months. The absolute correctness of
this statement is confirmed by good an
thority. The remedy is a simple one,
surely, and it ought 10 be thoroughly
tested by every one exposed to the dan
ger of lead poisoning.
Fowls VERSUS WORMS M Giot, Il
French entomologist has lately found
new employment for fowls. He says
French farmers, have, during the past
year, complained bitterly of the preva-
lence of worms, which infest corn and
other crops, the highest cultivated field
being the most infested Fowls are
known to be the most interchangeable worm
destroyers, pursuing their prey with ex-
traordinary instinct and sagncity. But
fowls cannot conveniently be kept upon
every field, nor are they wanted there at
all seasons. Therefore NJ. Giot has in
vented a perambulating fowl-house, which
is described as follows He has large
omnibuses with perches fitted up above,
the nest beneath. The fowls are shut in
at night, and the vehicle is drawn to the
required spot. and the doors being
opened every morning, the fowls let ont
to feed during the day in the fields.
Knowing their habitation, they enter it
and lay their eggs there"
FATTENING POULTRY. Although the
manner Of fattening poultry may seem to
be extremely plain, there is, nevertheless,
a right and wrong way, long and n
short mode of accomplishing the object
desired Many breeders who rear fowls
for the market believe in letting poultry
forage and shift for themselves, while
others believe the best method is in keep
ing them constantly in high feed This
is just our idea for where a steady and
regular profit is required from rearing
poultry, or a business is made thereof
the very best method, whether for domes
tic use or for the market, is constant high
keep from the beginning Thus they
will always be in n saleable condition anC
ready for the table Fowls kept in thi,
way need but very little extra attention
Their flesh will be superior in iuiciness
and richer in flavor than those which are
fattened from low and emaciated state
Fed in the manner above indicated
spring pullets are particularly. fine, com
handing the highest price on the marke
and proving most healthful, nourish
ing, and restorative food.
