Killing Poultry.

"CLAEIsSA" wishes to know why
the poultry she kills at home is hard.
although young, while that which she
buys is tender. The easiest answer
we can give is that very often the
fowls are not killed till the company
has arrived or is expected. They are
then still rigid from death, and moth
ing will overcome it. 1t may be diff
cult to find in private house poultry
us good as that to be bought in Lon
don, but there is no reason why the
difference should be so great. AS it is
necessary chickens should be killed
when they are fit, and before they get
hard, there is no reason why there
should not always be couple of good
chickens hanging in the larder of a
house. They will keep three or four
days in the summer, ten days or fort
night in the winter. This Las been
often thought impossible, but it needs
only little management and the
knowledge of how it is to be done. AS
a rule the chickens are not spoiled by
the weather, but by the food in the
body. which ferments and causes cor
ruption. The chickens should be cut
off from food or water for twelve or
fourteen hours before they are killed.
They should be picked at once; Il
picked fowl keeps better and longer
than one in its feathers. 1t should be
hung in a cool place where there is a
moderate draught, and kept there till
it is quite limp, and it will then be
quite tender to eat-LOnIon Journal
The Toledo chronicle. [volume] (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1873-1924, 1876-12-14

that,a moderate quantity, fed in con-
nection with dly hay, could produce
iniurious results, is not to be sup
posed. No doubt the boiling or steam
ing. which generally means an addl-
ton of more or less mild feed, would
be very much more satisfactory. Inc
same writer also says, I" Pigs Will not
ALWAYS eat, and never can be fattened
upon raw potatoes, while some boiled
potatoes. next to boiled peas, perhaps,
will bring them to the greatest weight
thew are capable of attaining, and to
greater perfection than any other artl-
Gle of food that may be continuously
used with safety, admitting that from
three weeks to a months feeding up
on corn, oats or barley is necessary,
to make the pork firm and lmpart
flavor"
This is directly contrary to the ex-
perience of successful pork-grower
who always estimated the value OF
potatoes as four bushels to one OF corn,
and would always feed them raw for
the reason that he obtained more sat
isfactory results.
TO boil several bushels of potatoes,
and when still boiling hot mix bushel
or more of corn meal, makes a very
satisfactory feed for pork. Wtllsam

Cowardly Assaults.

When a candidate for high Office is so well
liked and SO popular with the masses as to
make his defeat difficult in a fair and hon
orablc fight, mean and cowardly men are not
wanting who delight in manufacturing lies
and slhndering his good name. There are
also those whose seltishness prompt them to
prostitute their honor, pervert truth, and ig-
more right, for the sake of iniuring a com
petitOr in business, whose prosperity they
envy, and with whose business sagacity they
have not the talent to successfully compete
in an honorable way. These t oughts are
| suggested by the mean, cowardly attacks
made upon me and my medicines, by those
who imagine their pecuniary prospects in
jurcd by the great popularity which my
standard medicines have acquired, and the
C continued growth of my professional prac-
Ii &c. Narrow-mnded practitioners of medi-
cine, and manufacturers of preparations
which do not possess sufficient merit to sue
ccssfully compete for popular favor, have re-
sorted to such cowardly strategy as to pub
liSh all sorts Of ridiculous reports about the
composition of my medicines. Almanacs,
Receipt Books" and other pamphlets, are
issued and scattered broadcast over the land,
wherein these contemplate knayes publish
pretended analyses of my medicines, and re-
ceipts for making them. Some of these pub
LEGATIONS are given high-sounding names, pre-
tend to be issued by respectable men of cdu-
cation and position, for the good of the peo-
ple-the more completely to blind the read
er to the real object in their circulation,
which is to injure the sale of my medicines
The Popular Health Almanac" is the high
sounding name of one of these publications,
which contains bogus receipts, without a
grain of truth in them. Not less devoid

ton. In the year ITO it was dis
covered that to make piece of silk it
would require the webs of 100000
spiders. The Spaniards had already
tried to use the SPIDERS threads, and
made gloves, stockings and other
articles of the sort, but even these
were so Troublesome and yielded so
little profit that, n spite of the fabu-
lous prices paid, they were obliged to
abandon the trade. In certain parts
of South America garments made of
these threads are VOTE. but the spiders
in these lands are unusually large. 1t
is likely that the above mentioned
dress was made of the threads of the
smaller species of American spider.
There is, therefore, some hope that the
time is not far distant when, thanks to
the progress of modern industry,
fashionable ladies may have the salts
faction of wearing elegant silks of the
same delicate texture.

Potatoes for Animals.

A WRITER upon this subject has
said that potatoes in the raw state
ought never to be given to any animal
with the exception of sheep or geese"
| 1t is said ga goose will thrive better,
and the flesh will be more gratefully
| favored upon raw potatoes, sliced,
than if more OF less mainly fed upon
any other article; While sheep will
more speedily thrive upon raw pota-
toes than upon turnips; but, and es-
pecially in the beginning raw potatoes
will scour cattle and horses, and not
unfrequently cause death, while there
is no danger to either from boiled or
steamed potatoes" 1t may be true
that raw potatoes are excellent for
geese, and that they are good for
sheep is well known; for of all ami
mails none like change from dry food
to green in the shape of roots better
than the sheep; and that they should
thrive upon them better than the tur-
nip, for the reason that, according to
tables given, the potato contains a
larger proportion of fat and flesh pro-
ducing elements than the turnip. Thus
fair product of 200 bushels, or Il, 900
pounds of potatoes, from an acre, are
estimated to contain 2,64O pounds of
material for the animal system, while
the average yield of ruta bagas Of co.
600 pounds contains only 2,4OO pounds,
and similar yield of common turnips
yields only 400 pounds; so that rela-
lively they stand TO each other as, po-
tatoes, 2,640; ruta bagas, LAO, and
common turnip, $40, or little better
than one-third the relative feeding
value.
The chief advantage is obtained in
feeding to mature animals; if bony
structure is to be formed, the turnip
is fully equal to the potato. That an
excess of potatoes fed to cattle or
horses would produce some i'll results
could not be doubted; or if the diet
was to be exclusively potatoes; but

SOME Asiatic notions would bear
transplanting. In u town near Bey-

IN 1874 the Southern States lost
$40, 900, 900 by the cotton worm in a
single week. In 1871 $30,O00,00o
worth of grain was ruined by the
chinch bug, and in 1873, 1874 and 1915
the Rocky Mountain grasshopper de-
stroyed food to the amount Of $780,

TIE gold yield of California this
year will probably be about $50, 000,-
900, or as much as it was in 1875. OF
this, two-thirdS may come from placer
claims, and the remainder from
quartz. The greater part of the
placer gold is obtained by hydraulic
claims in the channels of dead rivers,
with deposits of auriferous gravel
several hundred feet deep, and quar-
ter or Il half-mile wide.
A "WoMEN's PRINTING SOCIETY,"
has been organized in London for the
purpose of giving girls an opportunity
to learn the typesetter's trade. After
a months trial the girls enter upon a
three-years' apprenticeship, during
which small but increasing weekly
wages are paid. 1t is proposed that
the women employed by the society
shall, when they are competent work
ers, receive the ordinary trade rate or
remuneration 50 that any unfair com
petition with mems work may be
avoided.
NJ. HITLER has recently published the
results of an inquiry into the presence
and action of organisms in peck
lymph. In examining 6,S40 separate
inoculations, he has found that the ac-
tiyity of the lymph is not in proper
ton to the number of microcOcei pres
ent. The development of the organ
isms was often at its greatest when
the lymph WAS declining in action
and, again, there would be no bacteria
present when the lymph was active in
a high degree. Experiments tended
to show that the poison is associated
with the solid rather than liquid con-
stituents. Strong dilutiOnS weakened
the action of the lymph, while con
densatiOnS exalted it, and evaporation
increased its effect about One-half.
The active element WAS present il
greatest force in the coagulated parts.
Perfectly-dried lymph isMlso active iI
a high degree, indicating that poX may
be communicated by means of the
crust and scuff Of puStules, which are
rubbed off and float in the air. Ii
was also inferred from experiments
that the cOw-poX ferment is not con,
tanned in the blood. at least in an act
i've state. and that probably the BLOOD
is not the seat of fermentation an(
reproduction of the poison.

till the next train comes along. MI.
Donohue orders out his private palace
car, and if on his own road uses the
locomotives as he would horses, but II
on other roads faStens his car on the
end of the express trains and goes
whirling through the country at his
pleasure. That is the way Mr.. Dono-
hue has just come to Paterson. His
car came from the West over the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad, being of the
ordinary gauge, and up from Jersey
City to Paterson on the Midland. 1t
is now on one of the side switches at
| the York avenue depot. 1t is not an
unusually handsome car outside, but
| it is gorgeous internally. 1t is mounted
on two six-wheel trucks, whose springs
are 50 yielding that the motion OF
| the train can be hardly felt. Its
general internal arrangement IS
something like Pullman hotel car,
ONLY that it is finished off more mag
nificentlv, with different kinds of
choice and costly woods. There is not
a particle of paint or artificial work on
the inside. 1t is divided up into par
! lor, dining-room, state-rooms and
kitchen, with all the auxiliary apart
ments and accommodations magma
bic, with cupboards ana wine-lockers,
and everything that could be con-
ceived for the happiness and pleasure
of its occupants. In short, 1t is moth
ing less than a gorgeous dwelling on
wheels. In this do Mr.. DonOhue and
his fortunate guests travel about the
country. He has just come all the
way from California in it, and after
leaving Patterson he will continue his
trip further. None but the wealthy
enjoy this life. We are thankful to

The Shtvering Victims

OF fever and ague, who freeze to-day to
burn to morrow, might have been exempted
from their present trials had they availed
themselves in time of that safeguard against
all maarious diseases, Hostcttcr's Stomach
BittcTs. But if it is too late for prevention,
il is not too late for cure. A single bottle of
this irresistible herbal tonic viii stop the
par0Xysms, and a brief course of it viii re-
store the patient to vigorous health. The
prudent and thoughtful, however, who
would rather forcstall disease than wait for
its assaults, will resort to this sure defense
against intermittent and rcmittcnt fevers at
the commencement of the season when they
prevail. No'r is the time to forearm the sys-
TEN against fever and ague, bilious com
plants and spepsia-diseascs which are
often engcndered, and always aggravated, by
the chills and damps of winter and early
spring.
