Feeding Fowls.

Where there is a family, and consequent
consumption, there are many auXlliaries,
such as bread crumbs, greats, that have
been used for cruel. etc. But 1t must be
borne in mind that these are in the place
of food and not in addition to it. When
this can be had other food should be dimin-
ished. | am not an advocate for cooked
vegetables except potatoes. Boiled cab
bage is worse than nothing. In fact, it
must be borne in mind that corn, either
whole or cracked, is the staple food, and
the others are helps. Do not give foul
meat, but always have the bones thrown
to them after dinner, they enjoy picking
them, and perform the operation perfectly.
Do not feed on raw meat. it makes fowls
quarrelsome, and gives them propensity
to pick each Other-especially in moulting
time, if the accustomed meat be withheld.
Hundreds have purchased birds, above all
Cochin ChinaS, on account of their great
weight, which being the result of meat
feeding, has proved real disease, incapaci-
Eating them for breeding. Where proper
food is provided, all is not accomplished {;
it must be properly given.

longer and healthier employed in finding
it, and may not accomplish in few min
utes that which should occupy them for
hours. For this reason every sort of feed
er or hopper is bad. 1t is the nature of
fowls TO take grain at a time, and to pick
grass and dirt with it, which assist diges-
ton; but if, contrary to this, they are en-
abled to eat corn by mouthfuls, their crops
are soon overfilled, and they seek relief in
excessive draughts of water. Nothing is
more injurious than this and the inac-
tivity that attends the discomfort caused
by 1t, lays the foundation of many dis
orders. While speaking of food, it may be
observed that when, from travelling or
other causes, fowl has tasted a long time
say thirty or forty hOurs-it should not
be allowed any hard food. For the first
three hours it should have only a small
portion, say teacupful of sOpped bread
very wet, so much as to serve for food and
drink. If the bird appears to suffer much
from the journey, instead of bread and
water give bread and ale.-COr. Mich.

Clipping Horses.

The discussion of the clipping question
is resolving itself into its proper elements:
When practised on the wong class OF
horses. it is, no doubt, injurious. and there
fore Mr.. Bergh, knowing the stupidity OF
his follow men, was in some degree Justl-
fed in asking the legislature to pass a
wholesale prohibitory law. Horses that
are kept moving all the time while Out-Ot-
doors in cool weather may be clipped with
advantage, but no clipped animal should
be allowed to stand, even blanketed, IN
the cold. A Buffalo veterinary surgeon
writes thus concerning the experience OF
the horse railroad companies in that city ::
The clipping plan has been in operation
on the Buffalo Street Railroad for some
time, and with the best results. In Janu-
airy, 1870, dun horse was observed to
sweat profusely, and in a few weeks was
unable to do more than one trip daily, and
the latter part of that with great effort.
Other horses made four trips. On exam
nation, ne was found to have an extra coat
of hair. Clipping restored him to his
heavy former flesh, and he was soon able
to make four trips. Several others were
then clipped, with good results. In the
winter of 1871, one-half the horses at the
Niagara street stable were clipped, and OF
TWENTY-FIVE cases of Inflammation of the
lungs, twenty-one were unclipped. In the
winter of 1872, all were clipped except
those used for track cleaning, and this Win
ter the entire number, 325, were clipped,
without having a horse now laid up. Can
any company having their horses I'M
clipped show as good a RESULT"

could write poetry if he had given his
mind to it. or else she thinks small beer or
poetry in comparison with an occupation
or accomplishment purely vegetable. 1t is
touching TO see the look of pride with
which the wife turns TO her husband from
any more brilliant personal presence or
display of wit than his in the perfect conf
dence that if the world knew what she
knows there would be one more popular
idol.
How she magpifies his small wit and

face, as if il were a sign of wisdom. What
a counselor that man would make, What
warrior he would be! There are a great

An Eccentric Miiliner's Funeral.

Mrs. Lewis w. Schetield-better known
perhaps as Mrs. NJ. NJ. Schofield, milliner
died on the 1st inst. of heart disease,
aged 80 years, and was buried last Satur-
day from the Baptist Church, Saratoga.
The casket was made of yellOw-pine, lined
with zinc and white satin, and covered with
black silk velvet, with elegant and elab-
crate silver trimmings. The whole top o.
the casket being off, disclosed the whole
length figure of the beautiful corpse. She
was clad in full dress of rich black silk
velvet, trimmed with lace. One hand, del
icately gloved, held rich lace handker-
chief, and on the other side, which was
bare. glistened the diamonds of her en-
gagement ring, held in place upon her
finger, as for many years in life, by the
plain gold wedding ring. Wreaths and
crosses of tea-roses and other flowers
rare, beautiful, and fragrant-were arts
tically disposed in great profusion.
The casket was borne in the hands of
six stout, handsomely dressed colored men,
all wearing white gloves, and was followed
bv Judges Bockes and Crane, F. Water
bury, p. F. Allen, II. Smith, j. G. Cooke,
VIM. NJ. Soaring, and S. III. Richards as
bearers, and those again by relatives and
friends in designated order.
At the grave the casket was placed in a
box also encased with zinc, and both her
metically sealed. Directions for all these
arrangements and formalit;9S had been de-
liberately given by the deceased, who had
all instructions regarding the funeral and
burial carefully and deliberately written
out before her death. The velvet of which
her dress was composed, and the same
with which the casket was covered, she
purchased herself for Just this purpose
several years ago, and kept it sacredly laid
aside for such use only.
As many as sixteen years ago she had
sum of money, in gold, laid by to defray
the expenses of her burial whenever her
death should occur. The nature of her
disease. which was of long standing, was
such as to render the tenure of her life
very uncertain, and by preparation OF
heart and by all other provisions she was
ever ready to answer the summons of the
great destroyer.
The maiden name of the deceased was
Mary NJ. Allen. She was a native of Sara
toga county, as was also her husband. Mr..
Lewis w. Schofield. he being a native of
the town of Greenfield. For several years
they lived in New York, size being largely

Bronchitis.

This is an irritation or Inflammation of the
bronchial tubes which carry the air we breathe
into the lungs. 1t arises from cold settled
in the throat, from Catarrh extending to these
parts, from scrOfuOus affections and from
severe use of the voice. The irritation from
this latter cause commences in the tdrynr and
gIOttiS. which are the organs of the voice,
and extending downwards, produces hOarse-
ness, coughing, and splitting mucous matter,
sometimes mixed with blood. 1t is chiefly
dangerous from its tendency to spread into
the lungs, and terminate in consumption.
1t is in the cure of severe and obstinate cases
of this disease that DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery has achieved unparalleled sue
cess, and won the loudest praise from all who
have used il.

fore Miss Sherman left London, her uncle,

that she should not be disappointed, he
would send one of his officers to go with

the appointed hour, and the two young
people went off together. He Joined the
party at dinner, and, in return for his

Allen invited him TO accompany them to
the opera that evening. Miss Sherman
was to sail next day, and both she and her
new friend regretted that their acquaint-
