Turnips and MIX.

Many who raise ruta bagas carefully avoid
giving them to mich cows, on account OF the
peculiar flavor which they impart to the milk
aud in some degree to the butter. ID. IT,.
Mitchell states in a former number OF our
Illustrated Annuai Register, that all fresh
green food given to cows after they have been
long fed on dry fodder, imparts similar fla-
yor, and cites the well known fact that the
first batting Of spring grass gives rank taste
to milk. This however disappears in few
days, and so he says, it will be in great de-
gree with iuruips. II the feeding is sparingly
commenced and gradually increased, with a
fair intermixturo Of bran. the effect will be
very slight Mitchell says "a little spriuk-
ling of nitro 10 the cans or pans, will des'r"'
the turnipy flavor In addition to those
precautions, we have found the common rec
ommeudaton to give the iurnips Immediately
after milking. aud at regular times, to be
very useful At this season of the year, when
farmers are beginning to give winter food, to
make up the deficiency Of grass, (which should
always be gradually done, and with mode
rate increase daily, if they will observe these
different precautions, they will have but little
trouble, and may feed ruta bagas continually
to mich COWS We would not however, rec
ommcnd heavy feeding with these roots, but
moderate, uniform, and regular supply
Sudden changes should always be avoided for
any kind of food aud for any animals The
bad reputation which several kinds Of succu.
lent food have had with some men, is solely
in consequence Of heavy dosing at the start

Usn Of snInhur in Nests.

The powdered sulphur sold by all druggist:
is a cheap and handy preventive of parasites
upon young chickens. After a hen has been
setting till well established, sprinkle small
handful upon her eggs when she is of, and
upon every part Of the nest, and for little
distance all around it, Then when she goes
on disturb her just enough to make her bris-
tie her feathers, and then dust another hand
ful down to the skin upon her head, neck, aud
every part of her body not in contact with
the nest, and do not omit TO scatter pinch
under each wing. Then, when the chickens
are hatcbed, there will be no vermin whatever
to leave the hen and gather upon the young
as is frequently the case when no precautions
are taken. One thorough application such as
we have described will sufiice-Rurdl Home

Fresh Eggs.

The way to have fresh eggs at all seasons
of the year, and the only way know of, is
to have breed of hens that will lay in the
winter as well as in the summer Ia order
TO accomplish this--l. Get the hens 2. Keep
them well give them variety of food
pounded bone 10 the winter to take the place
of gravel in the summer. 3. Give them
warm roosting places; hen that is kept
poor aud cold and half froze every night, will
not lay an egg the next day. a good hen is
like grist-mill; if we expect big grists, we
must Oil the hopper. 4. Hatch out early
pullets to lay in the fall while the old hens
are moulting, as they will stop laying for a
few days during this process and keep mostly
pullets over winter, as they will lay more
eggs the first year than the second year, and
SO on. There Is scarcely day in the whole
year that do not bring fresh eggs from the
barn to the house. NERD-MoSr.

Poultry that has been kept too long and
has an unpleasant smell, can be made fresh
and good by putting powdered charcoal in a
cloth, tying il up, aud placing it inside the
fowl for about two hours before cooking II
the cloth absoros it readily, remove il, and
put fresh piece, with more charcoal in il, in
the fowl. When the weather is warm and
poultry likely to spoil, as soon as the animal
heat has left the fowl, sprinkle powdered char
coal over ii, to prevent its becoming tainted.

side-walk) a failure. We were sorry to
see this, more especially as the chief in
stigator and manager, Mr.. Charles T.
Harvey, is well known in this place A
late number of the Tribune, however,
says that this elevated railway was again
thrown open to the public on Thursday.
At IL p. m. two cars, drawn by dunn
my, started from the foot of Dey-st. for
the station at Twcnty-ninth-st. The
trip was accomplished in II! minutes
a speed of II miles an honr-and the re-
turn trip in l54 minutes. The dummy
employed weighs , tuns. On the ex-
cur.ion it used 100 pounds Of steam to
the square inch. The two cars, each
running on one track, weigh $500
pounds apiece. The train ran easily and
with but little jar and noise, and no per-
ccptiblc vibration, and the only notice
able drawback was that it startled a
large proportion Of the horses that ii
passed.
