Watering Poultry.

1t is the belief of a writer. in the
Fancier'S Journal that many of the
diseases incident to poultry are due to
neglect in providing them pure water
Particularly does he believe such to
be the case in majority Of inciden-
ces where chicken cholera prevails
The omission to furnish fowls with
suitable drinking water is one of the
worst features of cruelty to animals.
1t is neglect that is decidedly ad.
verse to success, hence tends to di-
minjsh individual fancy for fowls.
and works detriment to poultry inter
ests. Those whom we occasionally
heal say that "there is no profit in
poultry" arc not qualified to have the
management of the same, and, in
their attentions, may be classed with
the thriftless and neglectful parties
who keep fowls that get drink only
when 1t rains.

How Much Corn to an Acre.

Experience proves that as a rule
the larger the yield is per acre the
less is the cost of production per
bushel. 1t is therefore important
not only to be able to get uniformly
large yields, without impoverishing
the soil, but also to know how large
q yield one may aim to produce with
a reasonable prospect of success.
How much corn is possible to grow
on an acre? AS was remarked i'll
the Era a short time ago, on our
fertile Michigan lands, so to 100
bushels Of shelled corn ought to be
an ordinary crop, and it ought not to
cost over thirty cents per bushcl ex-
elusive of interest on the capital in
vested in the land. But the yield
which, by ajudicious system of high
farming, it is possible to obtain with
a tolerable degree of certainty is
probably far in excess of 100 bushels.
The results of series of experiments
conducted by members of the Elmira
On. " Farmers Club seems to hint
at the possibilities of the case. In
one experiment the yield from a
single grain was twenty-four ounces,
equivalent to a bushel from thirty
seven grains, and this rate Of pro-
duction for an entire acre, allowing
to each grain four square feet of soil,
would give 294 BUSHELS of shelled
corn. In another experiment the
yield from single grain was thirty
one and a-half ounces, which would
give bushel from twentv-eight
grains, or 3SS bushels per acre In
another the yield was thirty-seven
and a-half ounces, equivalent to a
bushcl from twenty-four grains, or
453 bushels per acre. In the most
successful experiment of the series
the yield from single grain was
forty-three and a-half ounces, which
is at the rate of a bushel to twenty
one grains, or 500 bushels per acre.
What has been done can be done
again. What one grain of corn has
been made to produce, every grain Of
10000 like it, allowing a reasonable
margin for accidents, may be made
to produce. What one field has been
made to produce in favorable sea
son, it and every other field like it
may be made to produce in every
favorable season. AS yet we have
scarcely begun to realize the possibil-
tiles of high farming.

Corporal Punishment.
BY GEO. w. COPLEY


CONTINUED from February 49,
The majority of teachers, of both
sexes, believe that corporal punish
ment cannot safely be dispensed with
in our public schools. This class,
there is not the slightest doubt, have
consciences just as tender, moral
characters as pure and hearts as kind
and forgivlng as the class that advo.
Gates the disuse of the rod. This in
discriminate flogging, especially when
accompanied by low and abusive
language, tends to stultify the affec
tons and deform the soul by giving
it an impulse IN an evil and brutal
direction; and all who rule through
fear, and bring about a condition
of mean, cringing submlssiveness in
their pupils, cannot hope to develop
their souls into those noble qualities
and grand proportions which is the
rightful inheritance of every boy and
girl of this beneficent Republic
Fellow teachers, are you willing to
take the responsibility of crushing
out liberty from the heart of child?
You are not required to do this by
any law, human or Divine. You are
not required to suppress those ardent
longings of the soul, and if you were
you could not do it. What means

Making the Most OF a Steer.

At the abattoirs of New York there
is nothing of a steer lost after it is
slaughtered; every part of its sub
stance is used for some purpose, even
to the blood. The handling of the
lbullocks after they are penned up for
slaughter is thus described by a cor
respondent of the New York BuNe-
tin:
"The way they kill u steer is this:
A man gets in behind the steers and
throws a rope around the hind leg of
one, Then by signals two men who
pull on windlass till the head Of
the steer is above the ground. Then
the throat is cut and the blood flows
into pans. A steer generally gives
three panfuls of blood. Then the lot
of savages-the skinner, logger and
cntrail drawer-pounce upon the
carcass as very hungry man assails
4 beefsteak, and in a very short time
it is a carcass of dressed beef, ready
for market. The butchers pay rental
for pens for storage and slaughter,
and bring their stock over the Penn
sylvania Railroad.
"The Abattoir Company make
everything pay profit. They salt the
hides down long enough to set the
hair. Then they shake out the salt
and ship them to Europe and all parts
Of the United States. Theunsaleablc
portions of the hides are made into
buttons, combs, etc, and the inside
of them into bone lime; the bones in
to various articles of commerce. The
fat is rendered and the ofal made
into fertilizer at The Meadows-a
station about four miles out on the
road from Jersey City, where the hog
abattoir and the repair shops are sit
uated.
"The blood is poured from the
pans into iron tanks and run under
a chute-pipe to cook. 1t goes up an
elevator and down the chute, then to
a dryer, and by various systems of
manipulation finally reaches the
stage where it is reduced so per cent.
and contains II per cent. ammonia.
1t is almost an impalpable powder,
and is worth fifty dollars per ton.
This place turns out ton and half
of it per day.
"The Abattoir Company do not
allow anything-hides, pieces, bones,
horns, blood or offal of any kind
to be thrown away, because there is
money in every particle of the beef.
They have the otfal and bones carted
away to their destinations-the bone
factory and fertilizing establishment
Immediately upon the accumula-
ton of a car load, and the place is
cleaned up every day.
"The theory that filth congregates
about an abattoir, or that the river is
filled up by the offal thrown over
board, is dispelled by the facts. The
Board of Health of Jersey City are
convinced that there is nothing about
a well-conducted abattoir that is del
etcrious to the public health"

Blanketing Horses.
BY 4 GROOM.

| believe in blanketing horses, but
not to the extent many are in the
habit of practlcing. To keep a horse
constantly blanketed i'll the stable
makes him tender, and liable to take
cold when out of door, unless the
covering is kept on them, which is a
ridiculous practice. A horse should
be well protected from bleak winds
of winter after being driven so as to
become warm. The great danger
arises from exposing heated horses
where covering is not thought Of
For instance, a man will drive a few
miles, stop, hitch, and Immediately
cover the animal to prevent its taking
cold; but after driving the same dis
lance, and at the same speed, the
driver will stop on meeting a friend
in the street, and perhaps chat for
half an hour, never thinking that his
horse is exposed, and it is almost in
variably that horses take cold under
circumstances like this.

Use # Salt in Packing Meats

The massachusetts, Rloughman
publishes the following interesting
and valuable facts about the uses of
salt and the kinds of salt to use in
packing meats:
The meat-packer does not aim at a
mere preservation of his beef and
pork; his main object will always be
to secure the keeping of his meat in
the most palatable condition and as
much as possible of its natural color.
Chloride of sodium, or what means
here about the same, a good CONNER
cial salt, answers both ends satisfac-
torily if properly applied. 1t does
not necessarily change the color of
the meat, nor does it affect Its ten
derness beyond reasonable limits. 1t
is also good intiseptic, for it pre-
vents, if present in sufficient guam
tity, the development of organisms of
a lower order, which in their growth,
as natural consequence, will hasten
the disintegration of the meat mass,
and thus its final putrefaction.
Practice recommends the use of
the coarse and hard qualities of salt
for meat packing for the following
reasons: They dissolve gradually
and contract the meat by degrees to
desirable compactness; they keep
the salt pickle within certain mod
crate concentration; they cannot en-
ter mechanically into the meat and
thus overcharge it, and may therefore
be applied in sufficient excess SO as
to compensate for loss of pickle by
leakage, ETC., without endangering
the tenderness and the flavor too pre-
maturely.
The common fine salt answers for
a short period Of keeping very well,
and is consequently used for the
packing of meat for immediate family
consumption. Fifty to fifty-six pounds
of coarse salt are usually taken for
the sailing down of one barrel of
meat; the bottom and top of the bar
rel are always carefully GOV cred with
layer of coarse salt. The coarse
qualities of salt which are used in
this country are either manufactured
from bilnes or from sea water. The
purer the salt, the nicer is the flavor
of the meat. A salt which contains
large quantities of foreign saline adj
mixtures, particularly of chloride of
calcium and of chloride Of magnes-
ium, imparts a pungent and disagree,
able taste, and Injuries also the color
of the meat.

shall be compelled to draw this infer
ence, that those nations have been
the happiest which possessed the
mlldest form Of government; and we
claim that despotic sway, whether in
the nation, the family, or the school
room, always tends to cramp and
dwarf the intelligence, while a gov
eminent that is mild, that gives per-
feet freedom of thought and effort,
develops the mind and heart of man
into sublime conceptions and nobler
sympathies than any system of op-
preston ever devised by monarchy
for its own selfish ends. Consc-
quently we conclude that the human
race, the world over, has improved
III the ratio that governments have
grown mild. If this is true in large
masses of mankind, is it not much
more so in societies, in the family
circle, in the school-room? Since we
referred to history, let us call your
attention to a remarkable example of
the power of kindness. William
Penn's policy was entirely different
from that pursued by the surrounding
colonies. He did not use force of
arms to subjugate the Indians within
the limits Of his grant, but treated
them justly, generously, and kindly,
and for 70 years his colony remained
at peace, while the wealth of sur
rounding colonies was wasted in san
culinary wars. If the savage heart
can be melted to tenderness by kind
ness, how much more so the civilized
heart. Oh, my friends, there are
sympathies of the human soul-deep
sympathies that have never been
reached, and never will be reached
so long as the policy of unkindness
and Indifference to the wants of other
souls is adhered to; but love can I'M
lock the treasures of the heart and
time our entire natures to its divine
harmonies.

Dipthcria, that SO much dreaded
disease, may usually be checked if
taken in season, but if neglected be
yond Il certain time, it often battles
the highest skill. The first symp-
toms of the disease-sore throat,
fever and general prostration-are
too often regarded as the result of a
common cold. The throat should
always be examined as soreness is
felt. The distinctive feature of dip
iberia is forming Of a false membrane
in the throat, which usually first
shows itself in grayish patches, a
competent physician should be inn
mediately summoned if there are in
dicatlons of the disease, and until he
arrives, garglcs of chlorate of potash
may be used or pounded ice admins
tered. The chief cause of diptheria
is neglect Of sanitary precautions,
and especially the inhalation of foul
air.

There is an objection to the COM
mon way of boiling eggs which peo-
pie do not understand. 1t is this:
The white, under three minutes rapid
cooking becomes tough and indigest-
able, while the yolk is left soft.
When properly cooked eggs are
done evenly through, like any other
food. This result may be attained
by putting the eggs into dish with
cover, as tin pail, and then pour
ing upon them boiling water, two
quarts or more to u dozen eggs and
cover and set away from the stove
for fifteen minutes. The heat of the
water cooks the eggs slowly, evenly,
and sufficiently, and to jelly like
consistency, leaving the center or
yolk harder than the white, and the
egg tastes rs much richer and nicer
as a fresh egg, and no person will
want to eat them boiled after having
tried this method once.

The CHICAGO TRIBUNE
Fob 1RZ0.

A great Presidential Campaign will soon com
mence, That struggle will determine whether the
Government OF the United States shall continue
to be administered by the party which preserved
it from dsmemberment, or by the men who en-
deavored to destroy refused to help save it, in
order that Slavery might be maintained
Those who desire the Republican party to re-
main in power cannot more efficiently contribute
to that end than by increasing the circulation OF
THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE in their nelghborhoods-
Among the leading Republican newspapers none
takes higher rank or will WELD more potential
influence in the next Presidential Campaign. Ev
cry intelligent citizen will find it indispensable
for the facts and arguments it will contain.
THE TRIBUNE'S PLATFORM.
On the leading measures before the public, THE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE holds the following views, be-
leving them to be right well as Republican:
l. eform Of the Currency, making it as
stable and good as gold and silver, without injury
to the debtor classes
2. Reduction of direct State, and indirect Ma
tional Taxation.
g.. Economy and Retrenchment in Public Ex-
penditures; Bounties or Subsidies of Public
Moneys for Private Schemes, or Payment of Rebel
Losses out Of the National Treasury.
4. An honest maintenance of Public Credit,
and Condemnation of Reputation in any form or
shape.
8. State Control and Supervision over Common
Carriers and Corporate Monopoes. not to Cypress
them, but to protect the people
6. Exposure and Punishment of all Official
Corruption and Frauds on the Revenue. Let no
guilty man escape"
Z. Honest and Fit Men for all Olices-aiving

8. Sovereignty OF the Union in all National Mat
tiers; State Rights and Independence in all Local
Matters.
9. Election OF President by direct vote of the
People, without the clumsy and dangerous inter
vention of Electoral Colleges, which may some day
cause Civil War.
