Sulphur for Fowls.

There is no remedy and assistant
SO easily and cheaply obtained, so
harmless to the fowls, or so salts
factory IL it's results, as sulphur. 1t

small to a small degree, there is a
greater affinity for it than there 9th

istered to the fowls by having it in a
small box, SO that they can help
themselves, or by mixing it with
their feed once a week, or as often
as there are indications of vermin.
Penetrating as it does to every part
Of the system, the parasites are
quickly and surely destroyed. Also
gapes are said to be prevented in
chickens. Fowls need it more than
most animals, their feathers contain
ing between four and five per cent.
Of sulphur. Their eggs also have a
small quantity, which is noticed by
the discolorlng Of a silver spoon
when it comes in contact with a
boiled egg. Applied externally to
the fowls when on the nest, to the
nest Itself, or mixed with the soil in
the dusting box, it is equally efica-
cious in destroying vermin. To be
used as fumigator of buildings, it
is necessary to remove the fowls,
close the room or house, mix little
saltpetre with the sulphur, in an iron
vessel, and apply match to the
mixture. This should be done in
the morning, and the doors and win
dows opened in the afternoon for a
thorough ventilation. Lard mixed
with sulphur in proper proportions
and applied as often as it is neces-
sary to the feathers or the neck and
back of young and old turkeys, is a
very good safeguard against the raw
ages of foxes.-P0ultry World.

A Remedy for Drunkenness.

Tue Chicago Tribune draws particu-
lar attention to prescription which has
been printed by the Scientific american,
which is said to have proved practical
and efficient remedy for the chronic
love Of strong drinks. It is described
as follows: There is prescription in
use in England for the cure of druuk-
eness, by which thousands are said to
have been assisted n recovering them
selves. The receipt came into noto-
rlety through the efforts of John Vine
Hall, commander Of the Greet Eastern
steamship. He had fallen into snch
habitual drunkenness that his most ear
nest efforts to reclaim himself proved
unvailing. At length lie sought the
advice of an eminent physician, who
gave him prescription--~which he
followed seven months, and at the end
of that time he had lost all desire for
liquor, altho he had for many years
been lead captive which he afterwords
published, and by which SO many
drunkards have been assisted to reform,
as followos: "Sulphat of iron, 5
groins; pepperm'intooater, eleven dra :
chnos; spirit Of nutmeg, one drach0n1
ts0ice q day." This preparation acts
as stimulant and tonic, and partial
ly SUPPLIES the place of the accustomed
liquor and prevents that absolute phys
ical and moral prostration that follows
a suden breaking off from the use of
stimulating drinks.
We can scarcely conceive, says the
Tribune that the Scientific american
would have printed this without being
satisfied Of it's efficiency. We COM
mend it therefore, to the consideration
Of our physicians and druggists.
There are many men addictated to
strong drink, who are worthy objects
Of commisseration, lost beyond their
own mental and moral powers of recup-
Grafton and reform. IF there is any
thing in the world that can help them
out of the Slough Of Despond in which
they find themselves, it is blessing
which ought to be disseminated.

Our Great Destruction.

A most fattering prospect for a
bountiful crop of fall grains, cram
berries, potatoes, beans, etc., in
Waushara County, came to sudden
end on Saturday night, the 21st of
August. People were not a little
astonished and terribly disappointed
on awaking on Sunday morning to
fiud that Jack Frost had given us, a
visit, and that all our fond hopes
were blasted. This frost was fol-
lowed by second one on Ssnday
night, which completed the work Of
destruction. Our people had plant
ed more largely than usual of corn
and buckwheat. Buckwheat was,
never before as promising in the his
tory Of the county. It's dstruction,
was complete. 1t may be that an.
occasional field has escaped, but it is,
doubtfal. Corn is generally dam
aged beyond recovery. A few fields
Of earl y corn were SO far advanced,
that they are saved, and occasionally

may mature; but these are excep-
tions. The cranberry crop (Wau-
shara County raises more than any
State in the Union) is entirely de-
stroyed, as nearly as we can learn.
OF course, beans, squashes, potatoes,
etc, are buried In the ruin. It is
fearful to contemplate the amount of
loss that has been in a day inflicted
upon our people. Some men have
lost all they planted, having trusted
to single crop, or to corn and buck
wheat, and have nothing Reports.

Publication of Hen-HOuses.

The Lice Stock Journal Says: As
the hot season advances, poultry
keepers should not neglect the puri-
fcation of the fowl-house. Proper
sanitary measures must be taken, or
health and successful poultry raising
cannot be expested, nor is it de-
served. Lime is an excellent purif-
er, and when carbolic aid is added to
the whitewash, will efectually keep
away vermin from the walls. After
every cleaning of the floor it should
be sprinkled with carcolc acid, di-
lutte twenty of water to one of acid.
This is one Of the best disinfectants
and antisepics known, and is not
used as much as it deserves. The
roosts should be sprinkled with it
every week. This whitewashing
should be done twice, at least, bet
ter three times a year. The nests Of
setting hens should be sprinkled
with carbolic acid to keep off YER
min; and the coops also, where
young broods are kept for a time,
should be purified in this way. If 8
hen gets lousy, this dilute acid will
destroy them by putting it under the
wings, on the head and nesk. Wood
ashes is excellent to be kept in fowl
houses for hens to dust themselves
with. This is much more effectual
than sand, but sand should always
be kept for bath. Without proper
attention TO these matters, poultry
keepers cannoa expect to succeed.
