How OFTEN TO FEED CoKN.-Corn
should be fed only i'm cold weather and
then but once day, and that for the
last meal. AS a rule hens will eat
nothing else when they get corn. The
result is an increase of fat on their
bodies and decrease of vitality and
productiveness. Too much corn inter-
feres with a laying hen; it contains
surplus amount of fattening material
and not enough albuminous for the
production of eggs.

work, save the tea leaves for a few
days, then steep them In a tin pail or
pan for half an hour, strain through
sieve, and use the tea to wash all var
nished paint. 1t requires very little
"elbow polish" as the tea acts as a
strong detergent cleansing the paint
from all impurities and making the
varnish equal to new. 1t cleans win
dow sashes and oil cloths; indeed, any
vanished surface is improved by its
application. 1t washes panes and
mirrors much better than water, and is
excellent for cleaning black walnut pic
ture and looking glass frames. Ii will

The Chinese Management Of loses
1t has been stated that the Chinese me-
thOd of layering roses Is sometimes
more successful than ours. Late IN
the summer they select vigorous
shoot of the same years growth and
tongue it in the usual way: then put

and bind handful of fresh moss
around the tongue, keeping 1t con-
stantly dampened. In about SIX weeks
it will have struck roots, and can be
planted without disturbing the messy
covering. Many of the garden roses
can be increased by suckers from the
roots, which can be severed with sharp
spade in the autumn and new bushes
formed of them. Budding roses Is a
simple process, by which amateur cul-
tiyators often increase their stock. A

Auous Of Aluminum.-lt has been
found by Sartorius of GOttlngen that
aluminium alleged with four per cent.
of silver is admirably adapted for max
ing the beam of analytical balances, a
use for which its lightness and un-
changeableness render It peculiarly
valuable as compared with other mate
rials.
Experiments also show that an alloy
of one hundred parts aluminium ana
five parts silver can be worked like
pure aluminium. but is haruer and
takes a fine polish. An alloy of five
parts aluminium and one hundred
parts silver is almost as hard as coin
silver. and has the advantage OF con-
tanning no metal that Is poisonous, or
that alters the co,or of the silver. Such
an alloy mas been sometimes recon-
mended for coinage.

An alloy of three per cent. zinc Is found
to be harder than pure aluminium, but,

AGRICULTURAL.

CARE OF PoULrRY.-The care that
poultry is entitled to, to make it profit
able, is not near so much as one would
think. 1t is just like any other busi-
ness-it needs daily attention, not one
day In a month. but each and every
day. IL you expect a COW to be profit
able you must attend to feeding her
regularly, give her good, comfortable
quarters to protect her from cold,
storms, etc. Now the poultry should
have equally as favorable treatment as
any other stock. Construct houses, not
too large, as you will permit too many
TO crowd together. They should be
about eight feet wide. sixteen feet long
to accommodate each a flock of fifty
fowls, fronting TO the south with large
windows so placed that the fowls may
enjoy as much sunlight as possible.
Have it perfectly tight and dry, except
ing means for ample ventilation, with
out possibility of a direct draft reach
ing the fowls at night after going to
roost. A fowl will take cold while
asleep, as easily as person. Keep the
roosting apartment clean; sprinkle a
little air slaked lime and dry ashes
under the perch; have the house thor
oughly whitewashed inside three or
four times a year. See that they have
free access to plenty of pure, fresh
water at all times; don't force them TO
drink the drainage from the barnyard ;
many cases of cholera have been caused
BY this. A few drops of sulphate OF
iron put in their drinking vessels oc-
casionally will be benefit. Sprinkle
the perches with coal oil and scatter
sulphur in their nests and busting
boxes.
Many fowls die from severe colds re-
ceived by roosting In exposed places.
OF course, every fowl that dies, it is
said, had the cholera, when probably
half of them were affected in this way.
