Badly Cheated.

Mr., of a certain town in Yer
mont. is not distinguished for iber.
ality, either of purse or opinion. His
ruling passion is fear of being cheat
ed. The loss, whether real or fan
cied, of a few cents. would give him
more pain than the destruction of an
entire navy. He once bought a large
cake of tallow at a country store at
ten cents a pound. On breaking it to
pieces at home, it was found to con.
tain large cavity. This he consider.
ed a terrible disclosure of cupidity and
fraud. He drove furiously back to the
store. entering in great excitement,
bearing the cake of tallow, exclaimfng
vehemently -;
.'Here, you rascal, you have cheated
me Do you call that an honest cake
of tallow! It is hollow, and there
amt near so much as there appeared
to be. l want you to make it right. I"
"Certainly,'" replied the merchant,
"I'll make it right. didn't know the
cake was hollow. You paid ten cents
a pound. Now, Mr.-.sh how much do
you suppose the hole will weigh!

Eggs-HOW Increased.

From the London Agricultural Gazette
If an increase of eggs be desired in
the poultry yard, before large sums of
mony are expended in the purchase of
everlasting layers, we would recon.
mend the system of keeping no hens
after the first, or, at the most, their
second year. Early pullets give the
increase, and the only wonder is that
people persist as they do in keeping up
a stock of old hens. which lay one day
and stop three, instead Of laying three
days and stopping one in some pats
Of England it is the inva1iable rule to
keep the pullets only one year. Feed
ing will do 4 great deal-a surprising
work indeed-in the production of
eggs, but not when old hens are con.
cerned they may put on fat, but they
cannot put down eggs. Their tale lis
told, their work is over; nothing re-
mains to be done with them but to
give them a smell of the kitchen fire,
and the sooner they get that the bet
ter. Of course there are some old ia
vorites whose lives ought to be spared
as long as they can send forth their re.
presentatives. JudiciOus mating, by
which we mean the advantage of
comparatively youthful cockerel, may
be the means of even exhibition poul-
try making their appearance from the
eggs of the good old hen, and here. we
have the exception to the rule upon
which we insist. ~;
The Worthington advance., 1876-09-14
MATCHING Horses.

A full drink of water Immediately
after being fed, should never be al
lowed to horses. When water is drank
by them the bulk of it goes directly to
the large intestines, and little of it is
retained in the stomach. In passing
through the stomach, however, the
water carries considerable quantities
of the contents to where it lodges in
the intestines. If, then, the food of
the stomach is washed out before it is
digested. no nourishment is derived
from the food.
A small quantity of fluid swallowed
along with or Immediately after, dry
food, beneficially softens it, and assists
it in it's division and digestion. An
ordinary supply Of water, or of watery
fluid, on the other hand, proves inju-
rious. 1t dilutes unduly the digestive
secretions'; it mechanically carries on
ward the imperfectly digested food,
and thus interferes with the proper
functions of the canal, and excites in
digestion and diarrhea. These unto.
ward effects are specially apt to occur
where horses freely fed and too liber-
ally watered are shortly put to tolera-
bly, quick work. There is no more in.
fallable method of producing collie.
diarrhea, and Inflammation of the
bowels. The horse is not peculiar in
this respect; dogs, and even their
masters, similarly suffer from copious
draughts of water Immediately after
eating much solid food.
