How to Ship Poultry,

DR.. Zaremba, of the illinois Humane
Society, makes the following sugges.
tons to shippers of poultry in this city
lnasmuch as poultry is plenty in our
market, the attention of connmission
men and grocers is again called to their
shipment and coping. Coops for two
dozen chickens must be at least two
feet wide, four feet long, and one foot
high, with tight bot ON, the sides and
tor. to be made of lath, two and a half
inches apart, the first lath close to the
bottom, to prevent the toes of the
chickens from being broken when GOODS
are jammed together. A coop as de-
scribed above, three feet wide. will hold
three dozen chickens. Coops for one
dozen turkeys or geese must be at least
twenty inches high, made in other
respects like the one for two dosen
chickens. All poultry, while in coops
on the sidewalk, must be supplied with
the necessaryfood and water in trouehs.
placed alongside the coops. Anydealer
IN poultry who keeps his stock as above
recommended will act as a gentleman
and Christian ought to, and gain
enough in two shipments to pay for the
coops."

Breton Cattle.

This breed of cattle is attracting the
attention of stock raisers in this coun.
try and in England, its small size, hardy
constitution, and good milk-givin Q
qualities making it desirable for small
families. We find in the Ruyal New
Yorker full account of these animals.
from which we CLEAN the following
facts: They were introduced into En-.
gland about ten years ago, but they
have not acquired any great popularity
as yet. This is ascribed to the necessity
OF importing bulls and COWS together. as
the latter are SO small that it is n 1t safe
to let them run with English bulls.
The animals are various in color, are
very hardy, thrive on hay and water,
and are so easily and cheap ply kept, that
an English experimenter calculates that
the keep OF one Jersey costs as much as
that of four Brittany COWS. They are
very gentle, and give from four to twelve
quarts of rich milk per day. In size
they are mere pigmies, averaging from
sc to 40 inches in height, and some
times being no more than 80 inches.
They are supposed to be the original
stock of the Alderney breed, which has
attained larger size through more
genial climate and more generous
diet than fell. to the lot of the Brit.
tanies at home. There are several
herds of these cattle in this country and
we are informed that they thrive in our
climate

Armies Cor Mich Cows

The Hartford Courant gives an account
OF an experiment made this fall in feed
ing apples to mich COWS, by Erastus
Ellsworth, of East Windsor Hill, Conn.
gentleman of SO years of age. ,,F
I. A large COW, something along in
years, feeding exclusively on summer
pasture, and produsing four wine quarts
daily, was used for the first experiment,
beg inning about August 1st, with four
quarts of apples night and morning.
The quantity was increased, until at
the end of week she was eating a
bushel of the hardest, sourest wind. fall
apples each day. This COW was near
her time of going dry, but such was
the effect of the apples as to bring
her produce of milk from four quarts
to rather more than six quarts per
diem.
Another cow, in fresher milk, Yield.
ing eight quarts daily, was then
put upon ration of apples. At this
time Mr.. Eilsworth's cows had been
running several days in rowen feed,
which would naturally help to flush the
.nilk-pail. Yet upon the top of this
succulent pasture the second COW was
brought, when upon her full rations of
apples-a half bushel night and morn.
ing-to regular daily yield of twelve
to fourteen quarts of milk.
All Of these cows, FIVE in number
excepting ope-would have eaten more
apples if they could have got them.
That one was younger and smaller,
though a good-sized heifer. Half a
busnel was found to be as many and
sometimes more than she could manage
at one feeding.
The butter made from the milk was
frst-rate, and there had not been no.
ticed the least symptoms of i'll effects OF
the apples on the COWS. auA

A Tough Rat Story.

The Sydney (Australia) Herald is re.
sponsible for the following singular
story:
The craving for food by the helpless
young has in many cases been known
to prompt kittens and whelps to take
milk from very different genera of the
mammalia; but one of the most extra
ordinary incidents of this nature is re-
lated to have occurred lately at Sydney.
The circumstances have no such fea-
lures as would render publicity obiec.
tionable, and the authenticity of the
subjoined statement is vouched for by
the husband Of the woman referred to.
Mrs. Byrne is married woman, resid-
ing In Devonshire street, Sydney, her
husband a native of the colony, being
well known in the metropolis. Some
months ago she bore twins, one of which
died, and the surviving infant, now
about seven months old, became ailing.
This the mother attributed to an insult.
fciency of milk. For several days she
observed peculiar scratches on her bo-
som, unlike those that would be pro-
duced by the child. However, she ascrib-
ed them to the efforts of the child when
hungry at night to get at the breast,
and took the precaution to pare the
chlld's nails. Still fresh scratches were
noticed. No rats had been seen about
the room until the cat started one which
had found hiding-place behind cask.
Immediately the rat found itself chased
ii ran to Mrs. Byrne, as if for shell
ter. The scratches On her breast were
at once identified as those produced by
rats claws, and the impression that
this creature had robbed her during the
night of the milk for which her child
was pining, was supported by the fact
that, when the rat was killed, she had
bountiful supply.

Wool.

The prices of wool seem to have
reached point where manufacturers
are willing to buy. The Boston wool
market was exceedingly active during
the past week, the aggregate sales of
domestic amounting to 100000
pounds. and of foreign 10000 pounds.
There is slight upward tendency in
prices, but no material advance from
present rates can be anticipated prior
to the next clip. There is little doubt
but the market opened this season en-
tlrely above reasonable figures. Those
who refused to take the high prices
which prevailed just before and imme-
diately following the last shearing sea
son, as is usually the case, are the
losers. The farmer who refuses sixty
cents for an average grade of wool the
moment it is taken from the sheep's
back, is pretty certain to find that he
has had wool over his eyes and failed to
see his own interests. TAUisCN ~

A Big Haul by Road Agents.

4. N V. a. Il
Following are the particulars given
by one of the victims and heavy loser
in the recent stage robbery near Pleas
ant Valley, Idaho:
Torrance. G.. Brady, of Brooklyn, N.
Y, says when about two miles west OF
Pleasant Valley Station, two men came
suddenly out of the willows by the
roadside, one carrying a double barreled
shot gun and the other two heavy re-
volvers. They ordered the driver to
halt, and inquired how many passen-
gers there were aboard. He had then
taken position behind the coach, and
the other in front, and ordered all hands
out of the coach Immediately, or they
would shoot. All were then ordered
into line, the treasure box was thrown
out, and while one searched for money
and valuables, the other kept a shot
gun leveled on the victims. Their
pockets, etc., were all thoroughly
searched, and all money and valuables
appropriated. Many remarks were
made on both sides. but no violence
was used on any one.
The following are the names of the
passengers, their places of residence,
and their respective Losses A. Logan,
Secretary of United States Geological
Surveying party, $4,000; A. Burke,

tana, $500; j. Birmingham, Helena,
Montana, S2S5; J. Feldberg, Helena,
Montana, $50; H. Bedford, England,
$40. The passengers had no arms, and
some of them lost all their private
papers. Mr.. Feldberg commenced tax
ing out his watch slyly, when he was
ordered to "take his hand out of there
and asked "what the devil he was
doing" and that Z" he would get shot"
Feldberg said he was looking for a bot
tie of whisky to treat with, AID finally
succeeded in dropping his watch in the
bottom of the coach but they soon
made the driver furnish candle to
search the coach. They acted very
kindly generally, and first asked if there
were any ladies in the coach. On being
informed that there was one, they said
she might go unmolested. Mr.. Nolan
told them he had sick mother in Chit
-agn a--d they gave him back his ticket
and ten dollars in money. The money
took was all gold CON, and was, OF
course, duly appreciated by these gal.
