INFLUENCE OF FOOD UPON POULTRY
AND EGGs.-The influence of the food
of poultry upon the quality and flavor
of their flesh and eggs has not generally
been taken into consideration but it
is now well ascertained that great care
should be exercised in regard to this
matter. In some instances 1t has been
attempted to feed poultry on large
scale in France on horse.fesh, and,
although they devour this substance
very greedily, it has been found to give
them a very unpleasant SAVIOR. The
best fattening material for chickens is
said to be Indian corn.meal and milk
and certain larger poultry establishments
In France use this entirely, to the ad
vantages both of the flesh and of the
eggs.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1872-05-24

SPRoUTING PoTAToEs.-The Ger
mantown Telegraph: says "Sprouting
white potatoes will advance the crop
two weeks. They should be cut so that
about two eyes are allowed to each
piece, and these should be planted in
hot beds with thin covering of soil or
it is better to plant in boxes and set
these in hot bed, so that after they
are properly sprouted they can be at
once carried to the place of planting. II
the nights should be anyway cold, pro-
tect with thin covering of straw when
the plants make their appearance above
ground. Some persons who want large
quantity sprouted, cut the potatoes as de-
sired, and spread them on boards, boxes
or crates, in dark place, and when
sprouted, say from an inch to an inch
and-a half, expose them to the light,
moistening two or three times week
with tepid water. They should be plant
ed out 80 that there is not more than
two inches Of soil eyer the top Of the
sprouts"

Treatment Of nlstemner.

The treatment of common case of,lis
temper Is very simple, and requires
Internal medicines only, when the fever
is high, the mucous membrane much
redeemed and the respiration difficult.
In other cases, but especially as soon as
the cough has become loose and easy,
the discharge from nostrils thick and
theabscesses have been opened, a merely
hygienicand dietetical treatmentis is quite
sufficient. Respecting these, we have
to avoid any exposure of the patient to
wet and cold, have to keep as much as
possible uniform temperature In the
stable and to give easily digested food,
such as bran, mashes, malt, boiled oats
carrots, and ifit can be had, young grass
and other green provender.
If there is considerable swelling be-
meath thejaw or in the throat, the horse
should not be allowed to eat from the
ground consequently he should not be
kept in the pasture-for that most like
ly will increase the swelling. Food and
water-the latter in the cold season 8
little warmed-must beput into the man
ger, within easy reach of the animal
The application of good fly blister OF
the swelling beneath the jaw, that is be
tween the two branches of the lower jaw
bone, hastens considerably the ripeninf
of the abscess, which should be lancet
at its lowest point and, If possible, nea
the center, as soon as the presence of th'
matter can be detected. Steam bath
and all that kind of nonsense incom
mode the patient and do o great dea
more harm than they do good.
If internal medicines are required,

NEW VARIETY OF CUCUMBER.-In
"Land and Water" we have figure
and description of what is called the
new white-spine cucumber. This, when
raised on a trellis, grows to an enormous
size, one vine having three specimens,
each Of them three feet in length, besides
many others over two feet long. The
flesh is said to be very solid, with but
few seeds, and the flavor very fine.
This method Of growing cucumbers is
recommended as furnishing a much
superior result to that of allowing them
to trail on the ground, as they thus grow
finer, straighter, and with a larger
yield. This new cucumber has the skin
perfectly smooth. 1t is very short in
the neck, and it is considered decided
gain to the resources of the vegetable
gardener.

The agricultural editor of the Bee
Keepers Journal vouches for the fol.
lowing, handed him by friend: "If
you desire to get large yield of milk
give your cow, three times day, water,
slightly warm, salted, in which bran
has been stirred at the rate of one quart
to two gallons of water. You will find
that your cow will gain twenty five
per cent. Immediately under the effect
of it, and she will become so attached
to the diet as to refuse to drink clear
water, unless very thirsty, but this mess
she will drink almost at any time, and
ask for more. The amount of this drink
Is an ordinary pailful at each time,
morning, noon and night. Your animal
will then do her best at discoun ting
