As cold weather is here, and the time arrived
for purchasing poultry for the table, it may moi
he out of place to give a few general rules by
which the age of fowls of all descriptions can BIZ
Judged. In following these rules no reason
need be assigned by any grocer, much less house
keeper, for purchasing other than good, whole
some and tender fowls.
To Judge the Age of Forls.-If hens spur is
hard, and the scales on the legs rough, she is old
whether you her head or not, but her head
will corrobOrate your observation. If the under
bill is stiff that y0u cannot bend it down, and
the combthick and rough, leave her, no matter
how fat and plump, for some one less particular.
A young hen has only the rudiments of spurs
the scales the legs smooth, glossy and fresh
cOlOred, whatever the color may be; the claws
tender and short, the nails sharp, the under bill
soft, and the comb thin and smooth.
To Judge the Age of Tarkeys-An old hen turkey
has rough scales on the legs, callosities on the
sOles of the feet, and long strong claws; young
one the reverse of all these marks. The old tur-
key cock has long tuft or beard, a young one
but sprouting one; and when they are off, the
smooth scales on the legs decide the point, besides
the difference in size of the wattles of the neck
and in the elastic shoot upon the nose.
To Judge the Age of Geese-An old goose when
alive is known by the rough legs the strength of
the bill, and the ineness of the feathers and when
plucked, is known by the legs, the tenderness of
the skin under the wings, by the piniOns and the
bill, and the cOarsness of the skin.
To Judge the Age Of Dncks.-Dncks are distin-
glished by the means, but there is this differ
ence, that ducklings bill is much longer in pro-
portion to the breadth of its head than the old
ducks.
To Judge the Age Of Pigeons.-A young pigeon is
discovered by its pale color, smooth scales tender
collapsed feet, and the yellow long down intersper-
setl among its feathers. Apigeon that can fly has
always red colored legs and no down, and is then
too old for use.

Frs.e. Apples.


1t Ia not an unusual thing for apples to be fro
zen after they are gathered, especially when they
are for a time kept in an Out-buidng, il is the
custom of many lrfore storing them in the cellar
II is not GENERALLY known that apples are not
much injured from being frozen, provided they
are kept in a dark place where they will thaw
gradually. Frozen apples lying in heaps, in ont
buildings, should he deeply covered to rOnfine the
air and perfectly exclae the light, until the frost
il out of them besides this, when 1t can he done,
the room, should he slarkened, or, what would be
better remove them to a dark cellar, in which the
Temperature il six more degrees below freezing
We say six degrees, because sound apples, not
vet mature, will thaw out at a temperature less
than this. But wherever they are kept the frost
| should not lie extracted too suddenly, nor must
the light lie allowed to strike them while they
are thawins, because frozen apples, from, some
cause not yet well understood, if thawed ont i'm
the dark will remain plump and sound, while if
fhawed in the light, even though the sun should
not shine on them, they will afterward be soft
and spoiled.
Again, it often occurs that apples get frozen in
barrels ON the way to market; keep such barrels
headed up, and if holes have been bored in them
close them mp to cOnfine the air and exclude light
The best place for these apples would he a cold
cellar, because in such place the frost could be
more gradually drawn ont; but it will answer,
without removing them from the barrels to store
them in an outbnilding or shed, covering deeply
with straw. So protected they may be kept fro
zen all winter if desired and will, when they
come to thaw ont, he fresh and sound. We have
even known apples headed up in barrels and kept
deeply covered in straw, but not SO deep but they
We're several times frozen and thawed during win
ter, and yet the following spring they sound,
and in quality equal to same variety kept in a
cellar.
Frozen apples however, mnst always be ham
died with great care, for when hard frozen they
are unyielding, and if ratified together they will
be covered with shallow bruises, which, on being
thawed, first turn brown, and soon afterwards de-
cay.

There are few farmers nowadays but like to
drive fine team of horses, and yet, as a class,
their horses in winter do not carry the coats that
animals in high health should. The reason in
nine cases out of ten is iuattention to stable
management They are fed and watered regular
ly and literally, hut as rule they suffer from
cold and want ofcleaning, and too often from a
too liberal use of the currycOmb. This nipple
ment shonld be principally used to keep the brush
clean applying it only lightly to the name to loo
sen the dirt-never about the limbs, and especial
ly the points. A liberal use of the brush will
give the coat that peculiarly glossy appearance SO
much admired in well-kept horse. The stable
should he as warm as possible, consistent with
ventilation, and good blankets should lie provided
for each working horse. 1t is not only conducive
to comfort, but it also saves feed and often the
healthIof thehorse Plenty of soft bedding should
also be given at night, and the racks and managers
should be 40 arranged that the animal can take
its hay without danger of filling its eyes and name
with the seed. The stall should be rOomy enough
80 that the animal can lie at ease and the halter
strap SO arranged that the horse can get up and
down easily, and without danger of casting ITSELF
above all things, donot allow the stable to go with
out cleaning at least twice each day. After bring
ing in the team ut night, sweating perhaps, do
not go to bed without first thoroughly cleaning
them. A partly worn broom, cut square, il an
excellent thing for cleaning the limbs from dirt
If not too harshly used. 1t is attention to little
matters about the stable that goes far to make up
the economy thereof, and it costs less time to do
the work regularly and at proper times than to
have an occasional general cleaning up.

Now that winter is come, it behooves parents
more than ever 20 that their children are
clothed in such manner as to protect them from
the inclemency and sudden changes of the weather.
The chief cause Of nfantile mortality in addition
to foul air, too rich too poor food is the false
pride Of many mothers. Children are killed by
the manner in which they are dressed as certainly
as by any other cause In our changeable climate
children of the most tender age left with their
arms and legs bare, and with their low-necketl
dresses. The mothers, in the same dress, would
shiver and suffer with cold, and expect fit of
sickness the result their culpabe carelessness.
And yet the mothers could endure such treat
ment with far less danger to health and life then
their tender infants can. moments reflection
will indicate the effects of this mode of dressing,
or rather want of dressing, on the child. The
moment the cold air strikes its bare arms and legs,
the blood is driven from these extremties to the
internal and more vital organs. The result is
congestion, to greater OF less extent, of those

Founder of the feet is of two kinds, an acute
and q chronic. Acute founder is disease that
until lately was less understood than almost any
other. After a hard days work or when very
much heated, if a horse gets a sudden chill BY
standing in snow or cold water, it is not uncom.
mon for him to de seized with universal stiffness
and every symptom of great fever. Such horse
is said to badly foundered BY degrees, however
it is observed that the animal has an extreme
Discrimination to remain on his feet, from whence
it will appear that the whole of them are affected
When the horse draws his hind feet under him,
bis fore only are affected; and when he draws his
fore feet under him, his hind ones are the seat of
complaint, but which is seldom the case. On fee
ling the feet they will he found very hot and the
pastern arteries throb violently. After few DAYS,
unless the disease abate separation of the hoofs
from the coronet takes placs, and at last fall en-
tirely of.
Cure.-Bleed freely from the neck at least one
gallon of blood, take one quart of s;issafras tea
one tablespoonful of saltpetre, one fourth ounce
Of asafetida and do not permit him to drink for
SIX hours. A tablespoonful of alum in the first

Shelter Ye.r ss.eL ..1 sev. R.,s

An experiment made in England shows that
one hundred sheep fed under shelter on twenty
pounds Of Swedish turnips each per day, at the
end Of a few weeks had gained three pounds each
more than another hundred which were fed TWEEN
ty pounds of the same kind Of turnips each, but
in the open air or field.
Five sheep were fed in the open air in Novem-
her, the temperature being at 44o. They con-
sumed ninety pounds Of food per day. At the end
Of ten DAYS they weighed two pounds less than
when at first exposed. Five other sheep were
tncn placed IN a shed, the temperature being 49o
At first they consumed eighty-two ponn,ls p.r
day, then seventy pounds, and at the end of the
time they had gained twenty three pounds. This
IS proof sufficient of the advantage of shelterins
stock in winter.

OINTMENT FOR THE SMALL-POx.-A physician
in Sioux City uses an ointment made of charcoal
applied freely the face hands and neck, as
soon as the disease is distinguished and continued
until all symptoms of suppurative fever have
ceased. The application allays the itching, and
seems to shorten the duration of the disease, and
leaves the patient without blemish, the ernp-
tiOns protected by the ointment not even showing
signs of pustulation; the charcoal preventing the
action of the light, and the lard that of the air.
