That man who is very passionate, not

kindness in return; affection begets

FARMERS HEALTH.

AS rule, it is said, farm houses are
very badly located, worse SO than city
residences. Farmers should compre-
bend the necessity of choosing a dry
and airy locality, and the dangers re-
sulting from living on damp soil or in
low, shut-n situation. Where the house
is placed low, house drains are imper-
feet, and fogs are frequent; when shut
in by higher ground, the air is stagnant,
and the effiuvia from the house and out
buildings are not blown away. Too
many trees conduce to dampness and
shut out the sunlight
Uncleanliness of surroundings is
prolific cause Of disease. Typhoid fever
and summer bowel diseases abound in
the vicinity of putrescent animal mat
tiers, which poison both air and waters.
Faulty drains and neglected privies are
the most dangerous, while foul cellars
and barnyards are also deletertous-
No farm house should be without a
commodious covered cesspool several
rods from the house, on lower ground,
if possible, and connected with the
kitchen sink by well constructed COW
cred drain In default of brick cess
pool, an inverted hogshead will do, if
the soil be porous, but barrel never;
it is too small to be of any use. The
drain should then be kept free, so that
the cesspool can be SO used that no
dishwater, slops, or any kitchen refuse
whatever shall find its way out upon
the surface of the ground from the back
door or window. Everything should
go into the cesspool, except what the
pigs can consume and the back of the
house should rival the front in cleanl-
ness and tidiness Privies should be
thoroughly disinfected by the combined
use of earth and copperas. The latter
can be bought for from two to five cents
a pound, and it should be kept constant
ly on hand The place should be per-
fectly inodorous, otherwise the disinfec-
ton is not accomplished. In Winter
the earth closet should be used indoors,
and the waste will be found most val
liable addition to the compost heap.
Bad drinking water is another cause
of sickness. AS rule, well receives
drainage from superficial area, whose
diameter is from one to three times the
depth of the well, varying with the
character of the soil. To keep the lat
ter area in thoroughly purified condi-
ton is a good and safe rule to follow
A well, for example. twenty feet deep,
should have no privy, pig pen, barn
yard, drain, nor should Stops or garbage
be thrown upon the surface, within
thirty feet of it in any direction.

Cesspools are very dangerous about
houses, the covered drains leading from
them to the kitchen sink forming con-
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1874-12-05

A New York firm of commission
merchants gives the following directions
for preparing poultry for that market
Secure plump, well-fatted BIRDS
Bleed them in the throat. Scald enough
to make the feathers come off easy ;
pick both feathers and pin feathers all
off nicely, taking great care NOT TO
BRUIsE OR BREAK THE SKIN IN ANY
WAY. If one or two in the lot should
accidently get bruised or have the skin
broken, sell or use at home, as they will
hurt the sale of the whole lot. Leave
all of the entrails in, the heads and feet
on. After they are dressed hang them
in cool place, where they will dry and
get stiff before packing. Pack in boxes
or barrels in nice, clean rye straw; if
this cannot be obtained, dry oat straw
may be used. Be sure and pack solid,
SO they will not bruise in transit PACK
WITH BREAST DOWN. Poultry prepared
in this way always find ready market,
while poor, halfdressed, sweaty Caused
by packing while warm) and bruised
lots will not sell at any time
Many farmers make practice of
feeding their halfstarved fowls all they
will eat just before killing, and then
send them to market with full crops, in
order to get the price of poultry for
corn. In this they make a mistake !;
the crop being swollen to an unusual
size, turns black after being packed a
while, and not only shows clearly the
DISHONEST INTENTIONS of the packer,
but Injuries the sale of the fowls great
deal more than is gained in weight.
FEED MEAL ONLY FOR AT LEAST TWO
DAYS BEFORE KILLING.
Remember, it is the appearance of
goods that sells them. Nice, large, fat,
plump, white turkeys, ducks, chickens,
or geese, always bring outside prices.
WHEN is THE BEST TINE To SHIP ?
This question is often asked. We
answer, any time after cool weather

WHEN TO DRY OFF THE COWS.

Cows in good condition, and those in
clined to become fat during Winter, may
be MIXED up to within six weeks of
calving time to good advantage. In
most cases mich cows, which become
very fat at any time after first coming
in milk, will, as rule, ever after be
more inclined to lay on fat than to pro-
duce large quantity of milk. Hence
an inclination in the cow to put on fat
may be regarded as an unfavorable in
dcaton SO far as her usefulness as
o mixer is concerned, and should be
guarded against by keeping her in milk
to later period of CESSATION. But
cows which go into Winter quarters in
low condition, as to flesh, should he
dried off sooner, allowing them more
time to rccuperate their wasted ener-

a shorter time of rest and high feeding,
and much better for the COW and her
offspring.
