The Care Of Chickens.

A correspondent of the Conn
try Gentleman gives the follow
my excellent directions for the
arrangement of young chickens.
Last year l raised seven hun
dred chickens very successfully,
losing very few. To prevent
chickens from getting lousy, | dust
the hen and nest at the time of
setting, and again in ten days aE
forwards, thoroughly with sui.
phur. This will keep lice from
the hen, and when the young
chickens are two days old | grease
their heads with Il mixture of one
part sulphur to three of lard, and
repeat this if any lice appear at
forwards. l feed sulphur twice a
week in their feed, about one
ounce to two quarts of meal. ]
always use small yards to raise
chickens in, and never allow the
grass to get tall enough to we
their bodies. One hundred ii
each yard is enough. l shut each
hen and brood in her coop fol
three or four days, and then lei
her have the whole yard. The
chickens in each yard all eat to
gether after they are allowed tc
run, and this saves considerable
time. The hen should run with
her chickens about seven weeks
l do rot make the chicken yards
and ooops rat proof, unless rats art
plenty, for the broods need the
fresh air.

The Treatment of Sheep.

- ~ = NGeOA4OAo Va 0ANOH'
beg leave briefly to commu-
nicate to the farmers and sheep
growers of your section some
facts of interests to them, as they
have lost valuable property in
sheep and wool by skin diseases
and vermin pests, in their focks.
For the past ten years l have
been treating sheep for this trou-
BILE. l used variety of prepare
tions, and made up solutions and
ointments, which were applied
with little or no permanent good
effect.
About year ago l was called
to examine flock in Connecticut,
badly afflicted with scab and ticks.
| told the owner | hardly knew
what to advise, as | had nothing
at hand to use, especially where
the auimals were in such bad con-
dition. AS we were talking over
the matter, he drew my attention
to an article in Holman's Rural
World, St. Louis, written by a
gentleman who was for a long
time engaged in raising sheep on
the Pacific coast, where the skin
diseases and vermin among the
domestic animals were very prev
alent. lie spoke of the efficiency
of preparations he had used in a
very extensive way, which only
afforded temporary relief, but he
recommended an article called
"Kenneday's Hemlock Sheep
Dip" which he had used with
great success in the treatment of
scab and destroying ticks. The
statement being made by so reli
able paper, gave US confidence
to try it. Not knowing the man.
ufacturer, l went to the great
medicine house of John F. Henry
& Co., who kindly gave me the
address of Mr.. Kenneday, from
whom l bought five gallons Mt
three dollars a gallon, and as l
used it | diluted each gallon in
from fifty to eighty gallons of wa
ter, to make the proper degree
Fof strength for use. This wash |
placed in a large tank, in which
/ saturated the animal about one
minute. The next day the sheep
were examined, and not a live
tick could be found; and all sore
ness and irritation of the skin had
ceased, and the flock in a short
time were much improved. With
this l was satisfied, rs it killed the
vermin, and left the skin in a
clean and healthy condition, i'm.
parting q silky softness and lustre
to the wool such as | never be,
fore saw, and the owner tells me
that the sheep will produce 4
quarter more wool this year than
they did last. Knowing, as lido,
farmers who are interested, | take
the opportunity to report the case
and name the treatment. From
the satisfactory results l have had
from It's use in this and other cases
| am anxious to call the attention
of farmers to it as a cheap anC
valuable means of curing sheer
afflicted in this way.
Very respectfully,

The Wool Clip for 1875.

The Western Rural says that
it seems to be generally admit
ted that wool clips of California,
Oregon and Texas this season
will be larger than those of
the last year and that the aver
age quality, except perhaps Of
the California wool, is also i'm
proved. These woods come in
to market before those of the
rest of the country. The clip
Of Kentucky is said to be very
good quality. The very great
injury to sheep by dogs has
done much to decrease the clips
in several Of the Southern States.
In the more Northern States
shearing will be somewhat later
than usual OH account of the
backward spring; hence the clip
will not go into market quite SC
early as usual. Generally there
seems 10 he a very firm feeling
as to prices, and it is not i'm
probable that those who sell
early in the season will realize as
much as those who hold longer.
Notwithstanding the severe
winter, there has been compar-
ativeIy little disease among
sheep, and they came through
the winter in at least usually
good condition.
There have been very consid-
cradle corporations ofAustralian
and South America woods, which
have prevented the small stocks
from being entirely exhausted
The trade is quiet in all de-
partments. There is the most
demand for delaine and comb
ing woods.
Farmers have often been adj.
viscdagainst the policy of crowd.
ing all or nearly all the WOO
clip of the year on the market
at once. 1t is a little comica
to read earnest appeals in tht
New York Economist to WOO
buyers to avoid advancing the
price of wool by too much com
petition in buying. 1t hold:
that "lhe wisest policy i'll the
purchase of woods is to buy al
you 60 and take the chances Of ;
rise or fall in the price Of the
staple according to the demand
and prices obtained for manu-
featured goods. BY this means
interest is saved and the pro
ducer ceases to be rival bid
der against his own interest.
BY this means he can use hi
money for the use the calital il
intended"

To KEEP SQUASH THE WHOLE
YEAR.-Take ripe squashes, cook
and Sift; spread on buttered plates
and set in warm oven until par
TALLY dried. Then add a pound
of sugar TO pound of squash;
mix thoroughly, put in wide
mouthed jars aud put in a cool
place. When you want pie,
take one large spoonful of squash
and an egg; beat together; add the
milk, spice to your taste. This
if properly prepared, will last a
whole year.

Seeding Down Turnips.

A correspondent of the NeaU
England Farmer writes:
| have made it practice now
for some years of sowing flat tur.
nips with my grass-seed when ]
seed down in the fall, and with
the best results. l have now a.
bout two acres which were seeded
in August, and Notwithstanding
the severe cold weather, | have q
good patch of grass and the tur.
nips are doing we'll. The broad
leaves of the turnip protect the
young grass from the scorching
rays Of the sun, without which
protection the grass would have
before this been entirely dried up
As it is, | shall have my grass anC
raise q few hundred bushels Of
turnips, and, if as fortunate as
have generally been. next sum
mer | shall cut about four tons of
hay. On part of those two acres
| had a crop of early potatoes, OF
the other crop of oats before
seeded down. Last fall | raised
about q thousand bushels of tur.
nips In the same manner. The
turnip has long root which pene
trates the soil to a great depth
and what nutriment it takes from
the soil is obtained at a depth Il
which the grass roots rarely pene
trate, and through It's broad leaves
it obtains large amount of it
sustenance from the atmosphere
Hence like clover, its tendency il
to enrich, rather than impoverisl
the soil.

PRESERVING FURs FROM
MorH.-The best way to keep
moths from eating furs is to
place the furs in boxes, so that
the moth millers cannot find ac-
cess to them. Red cedar, cam
phor and tobacco are also pro-
lection. The frequent whip
ping of furs dislodges the Larvae
and eggs Of the moth miller and
thus in a measure prevents their
dcprelations.

. CAUGHT A TARTAR.-The three
carders, generally speaking, are
excellent judges of character, and
are seldom mistaken in their man.
Sometimes, however, their judg-
ment is at fault, and the apparent
fly they entice into their parlors
proves to be terantula. Yester-
day, at Battle Mountain, they al
lured German from the East, who
exhibited large roll of greenbacks
on the platform, into the spiders
nest. The drunken man" was on
a big spree when the expected vic
tim entered, and was losing money
on every bet. The German de-
clined to bet, and to get him in the
notion one of the cappers gave him
a twenty-dollar piece on which to
try his luck. He placed it on
card and won. Pocketing the forty
dollars he refused to bet again, and
walked out of the house, followed
by the cappers, who insisted on
getting the money back The Ger
man drew a large-sized revolver
from his pocket, and assuming
defiant attitude, said: :" You speak
to nae 1 put you SO tam full OF
holes you don't know what you am.
I am an old Californian, and know
all about your tam tricks. You
take me for an emigrant you make
fools NIT yourselves" The three
carders discovered that they had
caught tartar as they saw their
would-be victim board the train, as
the conductor shouted "all aboard
and leave them lamenting.- Silver

DUMAS THE fol
lowing anecdote of Alexander
Dumas explains how this prolific
writer, who earned such vast sums
of money by his pen, died a poor
man. An old comrade came to ask
him for some pecuniary assistance.
"All right" said Dumas; " look on
the chimney-piece; I received 300
pounds from my publisher this
morning. Several people have al
ready helped themselves to little

EDITING a paper is nice bus1-
ness. If we publish jokes people
say we are rattleheaded. If we
omit jokes they say we are old
fossils. If we publish original
matter they damn us for not giving
selections. If we publish selec-
tions folks say We are Lazy for not
writing something they had not
read in other papers. II We give a
man a complimentary notice we are
censured for being partial. Ii we
do not give complimentary notices
folks say we are a hog If we in
sert articles that please the ladies
the men are mad. If we do not
cater to the ladies they call us
Doors. If we write an article about
agriculture the outsiders call us
grangers. If we do not write
about farming and praise the pa
irons of husbandry the farmers
call us monopolists. If We write
about books the people who never
read say we are book struck. If
we do not discuss literature they
call us illiterate. Ye winged winds
tell us what to write to please this
fastidious people.
