Raising Chickens by Hand.

Mr.. T. b. Rogers, the famous poul-
try raiser at Wetherfcld, has "sensed
the precise thing and has invented
what he calls an "artiicial MOTHER"
for the rearing Of young ohickens.-
lie estimates that at least fifty per
cent Of chickens Matched are lost by
suffering from cold, by being stepped
on by their mother, by eats and other
animals, and in various other ways.
He also finds that chickens to be
profitable, should be hatchol in the
winter. he has Matched three broods
in nine weeks with one hen-that is,
he takes away the chickens as soon
as Matched, and places fresh eggs I'M
der the hen, and in this way keeps
her busy propagatins chickens. Mr..
Rogers next move was TO get up
some invention that would take care
of the chickens when Matched, and
he has constructed what he calls an
artificial mother" This is u box
with two compartments, and about
three feet long by two and y half
wide, In the the rear Is q lid cover
ed with wool, shutting within three
inches of the bottom; this is cut off
from the front part by 4 strip that
can be raised on hinges. The front
is protected by lattice work, giving
plenty of air and light, and on the
outside are tin troughs, in which
gravel, food and water are placed
The chickens can easily get their bills
INTO these, and when they have got
their fill they run under the wool
covered lid, which is so soft and
comfortable that they imagine they
are under the old hens wings. Mr..
Rogers had in one of these boxes,
yesterday, brood of twenty-one
chickens, sixteen OF which were
Matched last Thursday and five on
Sunday. They were all as lively as
crickets and seemed perfectly at ease.
He took them to the Springfield
Poultry Show on the noon train
where they will undoubtedly attract a
good deal Of northumberland
GUsrant.

Mutton for Farmers
Cor. Ohio Farmer.


Comparatively few farmers keep
the best mutton sheep-SouthdoWns.
Common sheep have been mostly
used. Compared with oouthdowns,
their meat is tough and dry and not
very palatable. There is no breed of
sheep that will bear comparison with
the Southdowns for mutton. They
are evenly tleshed and are very solid,
weighing much more than one who
is unacquainted with them would
imagine. The meat is tender and
juicy. Southdowns are like Short
horn cattle, small boned and deep
fleshed, They are hardy, and the
most easily raised of any breed
With small flock OF these sheep,
you can at any time supply yourself
with fresh mutton. You have but to
learn how to dress the sheep, which
can be easily done by watching the
butcher 60 through tho operation.
A skillful man can dress Que in half
to three-quarters of an hour. If you
have no icc-house or spring-house
where the meat can be kept, no
doubt there is some neighbor who
would be glad to share with you, and
return the compliment the following
week..
A small flock can be kept with lit
tie Inconvenience, and their wool
would be a small source of income.
Chops for breakfast, roasts warm for
dinner, and cold sliced for supper,
have to be given to man but once
to make him want more. Think of
it, farmers, and do not confine your
selves to salt pork, but vary the table
occasionally with Southdcwn mutton
the best in the world, easy to be OBJ
tanned without aid of butchers, cheap,
and within the command of all.

Quick Prescriptions.

Prof. Wilder, of Cornell Universe
ty, gives these short rules for action
in case of accident:
Fpr dust in the eyes, avoid rub
bing; dash cold water in them; re-
move cinders, etc, with the round
point of 4 lead pencil.
Remove insects from the ear by
tepid water; never put hard instru-
ment into the cal.
If IN artery is cut, compress it
above the wound; if Il vein is cut,
compress it below.
When choked, go upon all fours
and cough.
For slight burns dip the part in
cold water; if the skin is destroyed,
cover with varnish.
For apoplexy, raise the head and
body; for fainting, lay the person
fiat.

Agricultural md Domestic.

Moths may be kept out of furs and
wooden cloths by wrapping the fab
rio IN muslin, as they cannot eat
through muslin.
A simple and etfectual remedy for
the prevention of milk turning sour
in the summer time, consists in add
ing to each quart fifteen grains of BIZ
carbonate of soda. This does not af-
feet the taste of the milk, while it
facilitates its digestion.
All sorts of vessels and utensils
may be purified from long retained
smells of every kind in the easiest
and most perfect manner, by rinsing
them out well with charcoal powder,
after the grosser impurities have
been secured off with sand and pot
ash.
To restore scorched linnen, take
two onions, peel and slice them, and
extract the juice by squeezing Or
pounding. Then cut up half an
ounce of white soap aud two ounces
of Fuller's earth; mix with the onion
juice and half 4 pint of vinegar. Boil
this composition well, and spread it,
when cool, over the scorched part of
the linen, leaving it to dry thereon.
Afterward wash out the linen.
A correspondent Of the Boston
yournM writes that he has used the
following remedy for diptheria in a
great many hard cases, and in not
one has it failed to effect cure. 1t
is rs follows: Procure some pitch
tar-not gas tar-put q little on a
hot iron, invert tunnel over the smoke
and let the patient inhale as much as
he can without strangling, for few
minutes five or six times a day. Dur
ing the intervals let the patient have
small pieces of ice to keep as near
the root of the tongue as possible.
