FEEDING FowLs-Don't keep food
always by your poultry, because, iflay-
ing fowls, they are made too fat, and if
fattening ones, not fat enough. To fat
ten poultry, feed three times in twenty
four hours all they will eat, and remove
all they leave, and they will eat more
than when cloyed and disguised by the
constant presence of food. To keep
layers in proper condition, feed twice or
thrice daily regular ration, but not as
much as they will eat. Some. say feed
as long as they will run for what you
throw to them and eat greedily, but that
is not right; for they will get too fat,
unless they are laying freely. They
will show eagerness about as long as
they can swallow, and will scramble for
what you give them until in their rivalry
they stuff and cram themselves week
after week and become a mass of fat and
yet they will still act at feeding time as
if they were halfstarved. Feed your
regular laying stock moderately, and be
governed by their state Of flesh rather
than by their greed Take few fowls
from the perch at night occasionally to
test their weight, and little practice
will enable you to quickly decide on the
condition of the flock Increase the
ration as the yield of eggs increases, and
SO long as the laying keeps pace with
the diet you may give rich and stimu-
lating feed in any quantity. Feed the
select breeding stock more sparingly
than the rest Of the layers, so as to give
only a moderate yield ofeggs for hatch
ing purposes, for if you promote great
prollticness in the parents the result will
be weakness in the progeny. Chickens,
during the period of their rapid growth,
should be fed very often, with variety,
and all they will eat While they are
growing, there is no danger of overfeed-
ing if they are fed frequently and allow
ed perfect freedom, so that they may
take the exercise that is indispensable
to their thrift.

KINDNESS TO AN1MALs.-The great
secret in raising orderly and tractable
animals, lies in treating them kindly
and gently when young. A hcifer that
is kicked, roughly treated, and OCCASION
ally scared into wildness, will probably
make vicious cow, one that will kick
or hook occasionally, for she has learned
to consider those who approach her as
enemies. On the contrary, one that
has never learned to fear those who feed
or attend her, will submit to the opera
ton of milking without resistance, and
can be broken to all the customary
duties of cow with ease and safety.
Give that gentle creature that will turn
and lick the hand of her attendant, into
the charge of a coarse, ill-natured keep
er who will use her roughly, and when
she shrinks naturally from such treat
ment will abuse and beat her, the in
stincts of nature heretofore dormant
will be aroused, and in fear more than
anger she will kick and otherwise resist
the unaccustomed cruelty. 1t is thus
with colts. A stubborn and ill-temper-
ed horse is very easily made out of a
well-meaning colt by unkind usage
We do not deprecate proper discipline
when necessary. Let it be administer
ed with judgment, and when required
to correct fault, afterwards let kind
treatment show that punishment is
administered for certain purposes only.
WASHING BLANKETs.-Now is the
season for washing blankets; and not
every housewife knows the best and
easiest mode of washing them Here is
plan that never fails, if strickly fol-
lowed: take one pint of soft soap, two
tablespoonful of powdered borax, dis
solved in boiling water Put this mix
ture in tub, and fill half full of cold
water; put it from two to three blan-
kets, as many as the water will well
cover Let them stand from twelve to
twenty-four hours. Squeeze and rub
them thoroughly, and put them in
basket to drain lover another tub) with
out wringing. Rinse in clear, cold
water, and drain again.
Put little bluing in for final rinse,
drain and hang out without wringing.
1t will take longer for them to dry, but
they will not shrink, but look white and
smooth. BE sure and use cold water,
and not wiring during the process.
PLUM PIE-An English recipe
Take deep, earthen dish. Invert
cup in the center. Place plums all
around the cup until the dish is heap
ing full, adding what sugar you think
best Make rather plain pastry
Moisten the edge of the dish with lit
tie water. Cut strip of pastry half an
inch wide, and as thin or thick as you
like Place all around the rim. mois-
ten this pastry with your finger dipped
in water, or, better, with white of egg.
Now cover the whole with the remain
ing pastry, trim around, and bake
This pie is delicious, eaten cold, with
white sugar and cream. In helping
guests, do not forget to give generous
portion of the juice

NEWS SUMMARY.

H. Y. r.. of the Cincinnati C0DaBserciai, Is
travelling by stage, horseback, &c, over the line
of the Cincinnati Southern railroad and writing
some racy letters from the rural districts.
The Gazette says that the strong popular de-
nfOnstrations in Cincinnati are evidences that
the Sunday laws will be sustained, and that the
only question now is how shall they be enforced.
The Ere,jng Post says that the Tammany
leaders are now excusing themselves for the
corruption recently exposed by saying: =" We
stole the money, but used it in buying Radicals
IN the Legislature"
The Union and american is exercised over
what Senator Brownlow said to the Tribune cor
respond Mt about Kuklux in Middle and West
Tennessee, and speaks of it as part of the pro-
gramme to re-elect Grant.
The Cincinnati Commercial sa. that the dis
cussion of the Sunday question has produced a
scare among local politicians almost without
precedent They are panlcky and don't 60
about much, fearing to make tracks.
The Missouri Democrat, speaking of the Tines
great exposure of the Tammany frauds, says
the article is rs interesting as romance, and
the figures more wonderful than the figures OF
speech Of the most sensational novelists
The Charleston Republican, speaking of the
defeat in the municipal election, says one of the
hardest lessons for men to learn, lesson 50 hard
that some men never learn it, is to bear defeat
philosophically and manfully, and to gain Wis
dom from their very reverses.
The New Y ork Times thinks that Marshall 0.
Roberts is probably the only man in the city
unless Mr. Moses Taylor is IN the same boat
with him-who could look over the accounts i
has recently published and not detect fraud on
their very face.

WHEN the New York Times first began
its fearless publication of the Tammany
Frauds, Mayor Hall and Dick Connolly, in
their alarm at the public indignation de-
veloped, begged for a suspension of judg-
ment on the part Of the people until they
could publish the Controllers accounts,
promising that they would be issued in
eight or ten days. These days have passed,
but instead OF publishing the accounts,
these sly old foxes are out in a call. on the
Chamber of Commerce. to furnish COM
mittee to Investigate" Considering that
itwould require experts at least sic months to
thoroughly examine all these accounts, as
committee Of honest men would want to
do to satisfy public curiosity, this new
dodge is rather "cheeky." They might as
well, says the E0enag Post, call on the
stockholders of the Academy of Music, or
any other organization, as the Chamber
of Commerce, which is merely an as
ISOLATION Of merchants, with no author
ity whatever to represent the public. Tie
people themselves want to see the accounts,
Controller Connolly ought to have been
publishing them quarterly Tor the past three
years, as the tar prOridcs, and the fact that
he has not and nor delays, shows that the
Times charges are true, and that what the
fammany Ring is now after is deidy,tO alter
and doctor tie BOOKS The fact is Demo-
cratic officials in New York have been
stealing on a scale unparalleled in the his
LOry of governments on this continent,
and the people are every where indignant
over it. The venaI and blindly partisan
Democratic press are all trying to defend
it. y few papers, like the Chicago Times
and Brick PomerOy's Democrat, admit
the stealing, and call on Tweed & Co. to
leave for the good of the party.

But of one thing we think Sullivan may
