SHERBRooKE, P. g., June l, 1874.

Mr.. Editor: On Monday night,
the 25th ult., T.. L.. Turgeon, station
and express agent at Stanstead
Junction, absconded. The next day
some of the officials from Lyndon
vile made an examination into the
affairs of the station and found that
all was not right; some $3.50 or
more being gone. He had collect
ed freight bills and given receipts
for the same, making no entry of
the cash, but leaving duplicate bills
as outstanding, as a blind. Healso
took three tickets to Quebec. The
Express Co. found that they were
short $3.50, which had been taken
by him from a package containing
$500, that arrived short time be
fore he left, for another party at his
agency. Wednesday morning Frank
Richardson of White River juno
ton, formerly express messenger on
Pass. II. r., engaged the services of
a sheriff at Stanstead and started
for Quebec, where it was supposed
Turgeon had gone, as he formerly
resided there, and his household
goods had been shipped there. At
Point Levi, opposite Quebec, it was
intimated that he was secreted
among the French population in
that vicinity. Engaging two de
tectives, who satisfied themselves
where he was secreted, but not dar.
ing to attempt an arrest, AZ there
were several suspicious looking per.
sons about, they came back and re.
. ported to Richardson. Thereupon
1t was decided to surround the house
where he was supposed to be, the
next morning at 3 o'clock, which
was done, and the object of their
search secured. The suspicious
characters seen by the detectives at
their first visit, were still there but
offered no resistance. All he said
was "you have caught me-" On
Friday the prisoner was brought to
Stapstead before q magistrate and
had Q preliminary examination, was
ordered to be confined in Sherbrooke
Jail until otherwise disposed of by
the higher courts. to which place he
was taken Saturday afternoon. 1t
is mystery why he didn't take the
whole package of $3.50, instead of
q part, as the punishment could
not have been much more in case
he was caught, and his family could
have had a little something to help
them with while he was serving out
his time. j. NJ.

Boiled Corn for Poultry

In the breeding of poultry, as in al
other pursuits. little care and fore
thought invariably return an apparent
ly disproportionate result. In the rear
ing of poultry, where the expenditure OF
each fowl is small and the material pro
vided comparatively inexpensive, we ar,
apt to overlook the small wastes which
occur in the transformation of the diff
ferent grains into poultry, but which sg
gregate quite a respectable sum.
The opinion that corn is very nourish
ing food for fowls is so universal that nc
further thought is given to the matter
If any one should suggest that corn
would be.easier of digestion if soaked or
boiled, he would very likely receive the
answer that corn was nothing hard to d.
gest for birds, which swallow stones and
other hard substances without detriment.
A moments thought, however, will con-
vince that the mill-stones and the grist
are very different things, and feeding
hard grain, although not exactly like
feeding the millstones with pebbles, bears
certain likeness to it.
The trouble attendant on the prepara.
ton of food, if it is to be cooked, may
indeed seem very disproportionate to the
advantage to be derived from such treat.
ment, but in reality little time need be
spent, as before going the rounds of the
nests, little hot water may be poured
over the grain, a tight cover put on the
Kettle, and the whole placed over the
stove, where by the time your rounds
are completed the corn will have
become steamed AID mellow, and
have lost none of its good qualities.
Remember each hen has certain
amount of animal force to be expended
every day in some direction, and the less
she has to give to digesting her food, the
more she will have to be expended in
reproducing, The advantages of the
warm food in winter, when much food
goes toward producing animal heat to
withstand the cold, are twofold--from
the direct action Of the warmth, and the
slower action of the food itself, to say
nothing Of the fact that the content pro.
duced by nourishing food will result in
more eggs, for hen thoroughly at home
Will lay many more eggs than a discon-
tented one. We have performed the ex.
pertinent ourselves, and know that feed
ing boiled corn does pay, and it is a re.
suit OF experience that we offer this plan
to our friends. Farmer (Eng.)

Battle Creek, an en,erprising little city
situated in the center Of the apple dis
trict Of Michigan, has just erected a
very extensive establishment for packing
and preserving aud drying that fruit,
aud for the manufacture of cider on an
elaborate scale The buildings are just
outside of the city, and are located with
special reference to easily receiving sup
plies and making shipments, side tracks
from two railroads having been built for
their accommodation. The most inter
esting portion of the establishment is the
cider mandatory, a large building filled
with bewildering confusion of tanks,
tubs, complicated machinery. presses,
boilers, engines. etc. The presses, OF
the largest size, are capable of making
400 barrels of cider day. The apples
find their way into the mill hopper
through long bin or trough, large
enough to hold 1000 bushels. which
passes through the side OF the building
to the streets, where the fruit can be
thrown into it from the farmers wagons.
The cider, as it trickles from the presses,
falls into large vat beneath the floor
thence it is carried through pipes, by
means Of force pump, to several tanks
IN the second story, where it is again FL
tered. From these rubber hose is led |
outside the building to the freight cars
to be loaded.
The empty barrels being placed in the
cars, they are filed one at time by
simply turning a stop-cock, which allows
the cider to pass frcm the tanks through
the hose and into them. Including the
boiled, four kinds of cider are made
the first are TIE simon-pure juice, the
second is clarified article, and the third
j. compound Of cider and hops. This
last kind has become very popular
drink for bilious persons. A fruit pre-
serving house four stories high, and of
peculiar construction, is another novelty
Of the establishment. This has capac.
ity Of 10000 barrels, and fruit placed
IN It can be kept perfectly sound sor
three years. The walls are of solid
stone, 30 inches thick, and the floor and
walls are covered and banked up with
10 inches of sawdust, covered with gal
vanized iron.
