An ImnOrtant Invention.

A description of what seems to be an
important invention appears in the
London Building News, in which iron
or steel, hollow oarthenware, and con-
crete or cement are the materials
employed in combination, and It Is
stated with the best effect.
According to this improved system.
the walls. partitions, floors, and roofs
are constructed OF cells of metal, in
which are placed ea,thenware pipes,
the sides of which are splayed outward
at the base to form a skeWback. The
pipes and iron fitches are bolted to-
gether SO as to constitute composite
Orders. Between each skewback an
earthenware hollow pipe, with oval.
shaped head and fat soffit, channeled
and indented to receive the plaster of
the ceiling, is placed, with sufficient
room left between the composite
girders to receive a charge OF cement
concrete. The upper surface of the
floors is leveled and covered with
strong cement grout. Holes are Left III
the soffits of the hollow pipes for
ventilation, and the pipes themselves
may be utilized to convey warm air
through the building. ~-'e.e.
In walls and partitions, the iron and
steel lengths, are placed i'll a-yertical,
in floors III horizontal, and IN roofs
in an angular, position. In partitions,
wire is used instead of lath, to receive
the concrete and plaster. The propor-
tons of the concrete are six parts of
broken brick, Stag, and sand, and one
of cement, well mixed. The floors
are made IN one body, and not in
layers ~

The fact here stated is incontrovertible as a
demonstration in mathematics. Nobody disputes
It. It is matter of common belief and of general
record. Here the case might be rested; but the
public, naturally enough, wants to know Why this
famous vegetable specific is so far ahead of all other
medicines of its class. This reasonable curiosity
can be readily gratifed. The Bitters comprise five
important elements, viz: a stimulant, tonic, an
aperient, and blood depurent. Each of these
components, well as each OF the other subordln-

Trick ON an Engineer.

From the Poughkeepsie IN. ~ Eagle.
- One night last week a Hudson River
Railroad engineer, while going north
with his train at lightning speed, sud-
denly observed man on the track.
He blew his whistle several times as a
signal for danger, but he didn't move.
In vain he endeavored to stop the
train; it was too late. The engine
struck the man with full force com.
pletely annihilating him. The man
was made of snow, and was placed on
the track by a joker. An attempt had
previously been made to play the same
trick on another engineer, but he de-
tected the whiteness of the efigy. The
last one, however, after being placed on
the track, was blackened with SCOT from
a locomotive smoke-stack. -.--

Poultry Disease.


Directions for the treatment Of poul-
try diseases are seasonable, and we
find the following in Mr.. Lewis,
"PouItry Book"
The symptoms of catarrh in fowls
:. are watery or Shiny discharge of
m1lcus from the nostrils, swelling Of
the eyelids. and, IN extreme cases,
swelling Of the face. Boiled potatoes,
mashed and we'll busted with black
pepper, are q good diet. Pills made of
mashed potatoes covering Cayenne
pepper, and administered every other
daY at feeding time for g few days, are
an excellent remedy.
DIR. Bennett is quoted as recommend
ing the following prescription:
EsTake finely pulgerized fresh-burnt
charcoal and new yeast, Of each three
parts; -four, one part, and pulverized
sulphur two parts; mix them with
water, so that boluses of the size Of a
hazelnut can be made. Three OF these
=. can be given daily.
The same authority recommends
cleanliness aud frequent bathing of
the eyes and nostrils with warm milk
and water

loses all spirit, and often dies. A
foetid smell is emitted by fowls III ad-
vanced stages of this disease. In ag-
gravated cases this prescription is com
mended: Powdered sulphate Of iron,
half draehm; capsicum powder, one
drachm extract Of liquoriee, half an
ounce make into thirty pills and give
one at time, thrice day for three
days. Then Jake half all ounce Of sui
phate OF iron, and mix with it one ounce
of fine Cayenne pepper, using butter
as a medium. Give one-tenth Of this
mixture twice q day. Wash the head,
eyes, and inside of the mouth and nos
trils with vinegar.
Another remedy, which rarely fails
to cure, Is to strip feather to within
a short distance of the tip, dip it in
nitric acid (quite dilute), and thrust it
into the nostril OF the sick bird. Re
peat this two OF three times a day, re
moving the burnt seab before applying
the acid. ...r--
Another remedy is solitary confne-
: ment III warm dry place, with table
spoonful of castor oil every day for a
week as medicine, and soft food, mixed
with ale and chopped vegetables. In
all cases the patient should be at once
separated from It's companions.

Take Care CT the calves

Much OF the future growth, and in
fact much of the profits of the farmer
arising from his stock, depends upon
the care which il receives during the
8 first year. / DO not wish to be under
stood by this that if farmer takes
good care of his stock the first year,
he can afterward let them run q hap
hazard;n every good farmer will see
that his stock at all times is well cared
for But the first year is the FONDA
ton it IS the starting point Of their
future growth. There are many far
mers who are intbe habit of giving their
calves nothing but whey from the time
they are about three weeks old until
they are weaned. They are then left to
run and pick their living as best thew
may until winter, when they are taken
to the barn and put into some little
back hovel, with nothing but hay, till
spring, or, as have often seen. turned
into stack. In either case they are.
when spring comes, so stunted and
poor that they make but a slow growth
J ever atterwafd. Consequently, when
selling time comes, the farmer finds
LIS stock far behind in size and price
of the neighbors', who had cared wen
Tor their calves. One instance OF this
came within my knowledge. Some
steers raised as above sold for SIS,
while those Of his neighbor, which had
been well cared for while young, sold
readily at S25. The quality OF the
stock OF the former was fully equal to
the latter to start with COrresDona.
