FATTESISG FowLs.-As a general rule,
the farmer should not desire that LIS
should be very fat, for there Is kind
of autagonism between reproduction
and the storing of much fat IN the It's
sues. If it was n mere question of what
to do with the material, there would
seem to be no reason why fowl. once
having attained her full weight, should
not then always begin to lay. Fat in
living being is generally as foreign to
the system ns II II were cried ont and
slowed away IN a pantry and yet
certain proportion OF 1t seems to be the
rule with all animals IL their ordinary
health. the amount varying with the
individual. Fowls cannot be made to
fatten when only partly matured, a few
breeds excepted, for they need most OF
their feed for growth, like spare Youths,
who eat voraciously and grow prodig
iously, while remaining awkward and
long. This is no reason why chickens,
intended for the table, should not be
generously fed, for the more they eat
the greater the quantity of their flesh,
OF course the quality is also much bet
ter. Adult fowls can he fattened upon
grain OF various sorts, fed for a change.
But as variety not only stimulates gp-
petite, but aids digestion, very little
animal food of extra nice quality, as
lice beef's liver, or other butchers
meat, should be added daily, and fresh
vegetables also. But on no account
give much of these last, for not only is
grain cheaper and productive OF the
hest quality Of flesh, but much meat
is too exciting, and vegetables, fed
freely, keep the bowels too active, and
therefore Tetard fattening.
POULTRY PARASITES Fowls are in
tested with several kinds of parasites.
There are lice of sufficient size to be
readily disccverable, which are found
either beneath the wings or upon the
head and neck, and very small mites or
gcari which intest sitting hens so much
As frequently to make them leave their
nests, and which also swarm plentifully
IN the houses and upon the rocsts.
The specimens received are OF the lat
ter class. They hide in crevices of the
nests or houses during the day, and at
night sally forth to feed, which they do
by puncturing the skin and sucking the
blood IF the fowls. There is no diff
Guilty in getting rid of all these pests.
They thrive in filth and avoid neat
quarters. If you viii thoroughly
cleanse the floor of the poultry house,
hme-wssh the walls, filing up all the
cracks with lime, and removing all
loose boards and cieats, and thoroughly
smear the perch with lard and kerosene
OIL mixed, so that the fowls feet and
feathers will be w,li creased, you will
very soon be relieved Of the trouble.
Where these lice and mites are very nu-
merous and infested fowls are kept
close TO stables they VIII gather upon
horses and cattle and greatly trouble
them. Cases have been known in which
horses have died from the irrstation
thus produced. For this reason poultry
SHOULD not be kept in stables.

THE HABIT OF SAVING. G.-Wastefulness
characterizes our domestic economy to
an extent urheerd OF in more frugal
countries, and We must always eat,
drink, and be clothed with the best the
market affords. There is no economy
in depriving ourselves of an abundant
supply CT nourishing food, decent
raiment, and healthful shelter, but this
affords no excuse for the prevalent sin
of waste, nor does it justify spending
hard-won wages upon expensive delica-
cies, unnecessarily large habitations, or
costly trifes. There is far too lavish a
subserviency to fashion among all
classes. Economy in this respect would
not only create a much needed indepen
dence. both in dress and in our whole
manner of life.

Hints FOR MAKING CAKE.-Use none
but the best materials for making cake.
II you cannot afford to get good flour,
dry white sugar and the best family
butter, make up your mind to go with
out your cake, and eat plain bread with
a clear conscience.
Stir the butter and sugar to cream.
Cake often fails because this rule is not
followed. Beat these as faithfully as
you do the eggs, warming the butter
very slightly if hard. Use only silver
or wooden spoon in this as IL other
parts of your work.
Do not use fresh and stale milk IN
the same cake. 1t acts as disastrously
as piece OF old cloth in a new garment.
Sour milk makes spongy cake: sweet,
one closer in grain.
Streaks in cake are caused by un-
skilled mixing, too rapid or unequal
baking, a sudden decrease in heat be-
fore tine cake in quite done.
Do Eot delude yourself. and maltreat
those who are to eat your cake, by try
ing to make soda do the whole or most
of the duty of eggs. Others have tried
it before with unfortunate results. If
curiosity tempt you to the experiment,
You had better allay it by buying some
sponge cake at the corner bakery.
Test whether cake is done by run
ming a clean straw into the thickest
part. 1t should come up clean.
Do not leave the oven door open, or
change the cake from one oven to the
other, except in extreme cases. Ii 1t
harden too fast on the top, cover with
paper. 1t should rise to full height be-
fore the crust forms.
Except for gingerbread, use none but
white sugar.
Always sift the -four.
Be accurate in your weights and
measure.
Cream yorr sugar and butter, meas
ure milk, spice. etc, before beginning
to work. For fruit cake it is best to
prepare the materials the day before.
Let your icing dry thoroughly before
wrapping up the cake, and sift your

A CLERGYMAN taught an old man in
his parish to read, and had found
him an apt scholar. After the lessons
had finished, he had not been able to
call at the cottage for some time, and
when he did, he only found the wife at
home. "How's John ?" said the clergy
man. "He's csnny, sir, said the wife.

THE FEELING n WASHINGTON.

Wonderful Apathy I'm Administration
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF Cabinet Om-

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. Ia, 1874.
There was wonderful apathy In administration
circles to-day concerning the news from Ohio and
Indiana. Secretary Brstow had not heard Of the
report from the States north Of Kentucky, ex-
planning that he had been engaged in clear
ing out his once. Postmaster General
Jewell was too busiy occupied with
the details or his new position to take notice OF
newspaper reports about elections. But the sad
est or the Cabinet officials was the Attorney Gen.
eral. For the first time In several weeks there
were no reports of outrages upon loyal whites and
innocent negroes in the South. On the till box IN
front OF the Department OF Justice was posted
small placard, bearing
THE SIGNIFICANT INSTRUCTION,
"Outrages for political purposes until further
orders should be addressed care Chattanooga Con-
ventlOn.n
The absence Of congratuatory dispatches at the
White House and the lack Of apparent interest in
the elections made the city very gloomy.
The only consolation left to the faithful
adherents of the party is the HERALD'S Congress

the disappointed some solace; and the veteran
