To Moderate Drinkers.

If men and women of good society wish
to have less drinking to excess let them
stop drinking moderately. If they are
not willing to break off the indulgence OF
a feeble appetite for the sake of doing a
great good to great many people, how
can they expect poor, broken-down
wretch to deny an appetite that is stronger
than the love of wife and children and even
life itself? The punishment for the failure
to do duty in this business is sickening to
contemplate. The sacrifice of life and
peace and health will 90 on. Every year
Young men will rush wildly to the devil,
middle-aged men will booze away into ap-
oplexy. and the old men will swell up
with sweet poison and become disgusting
idiots.
What will become of the women? We
should think they had suffered enough
from this evil to hold it under everlasting
ban, vet there are drunken women as well
as drinking clergymen. Society, however,
has great advantage in the fact
that it is vulgar for a woman to
drink. There are some things that a
woman may not do and maintain her So
cial standing. Let her not quarrel with
the fact that society demands more of her
than it does of men. 1t is her safeguard
in many ways.--Dr. j. Holland. IN Serb
ner's MonthLy. 95

The Best Way to Set Hens.

The usual way is to allow hen to set
where she has been accustomed 10 lay.
But, many times, the best is where other
fowls go to Law. As a consequence, a Gus
pute and rough contest will often occur
for possession, during which some of the
eggs will be broken. A setting hen should
be provided with a quiet place, where
nothing will modest her during the period
of incubation, and where she will be COM
Portable during cold weather. We have
known hens to forSake their nests when in
a cold and airy corner, even after they had
been sitting week or more.
As soon as hen has dropped her egg,
and remains on the next day and night,
make nice nest in half-barrel, or box
equivalent toa half-barrel, put few qnarts
of ashes in the bottom, then add fine hay
rowen is the best-to the depth of three or
four inches, so as to make broad nest,
having sufficient concavity to keep the eggs
from rolling away from the middle OF the
nest. Mark the eggs with red chalk, or g
pencil, and at night carry the hen and her
nest to some quiet apartment, such as a
granary or meal room, where other fowls
are not allowed to enter. A dish of water
and some soft feed should be placed near
BY. so that hen need not be required to
90 into the yard when she leaves her nest.
Whole grain is by no means suitable for
any fowl during incubation, as the system
is not in condition to digest and assimi-
late such hard and rough feed. Hens, tur-
keys, GEESE, and ducks, when they stop
laying, and enter the period of incubation,
90 to their nests with onlya small quantity
Of food in their crops, and they eat only a
small quantity during incubation. The
system has to be prepared for long period
of idleness and inactivity. We recently
visited the residence of a successful poul-
terer, who accompanied US into his large
granary, where there were several turkeys,
ducks, geese, and eight hens, all setting
quietly, where neither other fowls nor noe
tllrnal marauders could modest them.-N

WANT of vitality.

no water utterly free frem injurious particles;
while in many localities both are positively I'M

system, in which the vital principle Is deficient
or dormant, against any of the M rbid influences
which produce epidemic and other diseases! None

John Randolph's Eulogy on Horse
Jockey.

Seeing in yesterdays Gazette notice OF
the death of Mr.. Purdy, son OF the rider
of Eclipse in that great contest OF horse
flesh, reminds me of a speech made IN
Congress upon the subject soon after its
occurrence by the eccentric John Han
dolph, which / committed to memory
nearly forty years ago, and which, for the
amusement of your readers, L will repro
duce. He was speaking upon some ques-
ton connected with the Indians, when he
broke out with the following: 81 pass
from the great tribes of the North, as they
are pleased to call themselves, and digress-
ing ever further from the particular object
of my speech, call your attention to one
who, in his vocation, knows no superior.
He has not split the ears of the ground
lings, nor exhibited panorama of mans
fol1ies or woman's weaknesses, such as
we see every day, or rather every night, In
our theaters. No. sir; the man speak OF

son of the South that his great knowledge
of his vocation should fail him; but alas
we were doomed to sad disappointment,

rider of the famous horse Eclipse. Had

perienced when it was announced that

down with the history of civilized society,

eys to the latest posterity. Cor. Cs''ci's-

Cheap Ice-H0uses.

At meeting of the Elnira On. Z } Far
mers' Club, W. A. Armstrong said that a
cheap ice-house could be be made out of a
simple well rooted inclosnre, without hol-
low walls or pits or any costly apparatus.
He leaves six inches of space next the side
all around, into which he rams clean saw
dust closely, and covers the ice when put
in with foot of the dust. The ice is cut
into large blocks and made to fit at the
joints as closely as convenient; but where
the edges are jagged he fills in with
pounded ice or saWdust-the latter being
the cheapest. Drainage is important; but,
If the house stands on porous soil or is so
elevated that the water will run off readi-
~, it answers every purpose. he has
kept ice several years IN such building,
nine feet square and the same in height,
the sides being only of inch boards.
When ice is taken out, be careful to keep
all the cavities covered with sawdust, or it
will waste away rapidly. In answer to a
question as to the cost of a house fourteen
feet square, he said that $50 would pay for
it and the sawdust; and, built of cheap
lumber, it might cost only $25. In pack
ing, spent tan or cut straw would answer
nearly as well as awdust.-Coantry Gen

Small Cows and Rich Milk.

In recent address before the Vermont
Dairvman's Association, Alexander Hyde
said: "As general rule 1t may pc stated
that small COWS give milk rlcher In
cream than that from larger COWS. mus II
the little Jersey gives more creamy mi LII
than the large Durham-indeed, the orol-
ninary milk of Jersey is about equal IN
this respect to much that is sold m our
cities as pure cream. Mr.. j. M. MacKle,
of Great Darlington, Mass, in whose
word we can place implicit confidence,
saws that he has one jersey whose mix Is
by actual test thirty-five per cent. cream,
and that from five quarts of Jersey mix
he can make one pound OF butter. Inc
small Kerry cow is said to be equal to the
Jersey in its cream product, and the sui
smaller Brittany cowlet-fOr the kline OF
Brittany hardly deserve the name OF cows,
as they are only thirty-six to forty inches IN
heights claimed to provide milk richer
in cream than that of the jersey or Kerry.
On the other hand the large Durham are
not remarkable either for quantity or quail
ty of their milk, though there are some
strains of Durham blood that uniformly
furnish good mixers and the large Dutch
cattle, while giving an abundance OF milk,
are rather famous as cheese than butter
producers. The Ayrshires, which are a
medium between large and small cows,
furnish also a milk which is fully up TO
the average for both butter and cheese. In
the latter constituent we are inclined to
think the Ayrshire milk is above the aver
age. Perhaps we ought to say here that
the difference between Jersey and Ayrshire
milk is not so great intrinsically as appar-
emily. Jersey milk has good emulsion,
that is, the cream rises rapidly and easily.
In this respect it is like men of fluent
speech. They can tell all they know, and
sometimes pass for more knowledge than
they are worth. The cream of Ayrshire
milk is more slow in rising, and seldom
rises perfectly, so that if a pan of Jersey
skim milk is compared with Ayrshire skim
milk the former is watery and innutritfous,
having parted with its cream, while the
latter is white and valuable from the cream
and casein which it contains. AS the vir-
tue of milk, so far as muscle forming
is concerned, is concentrated in the casein,
Ayrshire milk is intrinsically fully equal
to JERSEY,
