Ashes for Cattle.

The Live Stock journal has correspond
ent who found his cattle given ts the habit
of eating wood, chewing bones, etc. They
became thin in flesh, refused to eat hay
and presented sickly appearance. He had
no impression that their food lacked the
constituents for making bone and his neigh
bors used bone meal without noticing any
good results whatever. At last he put about
four bushels of leached ashes in his barn
yard, and threw out to them about shovel
full each day. They all ate with evident
relish. After turning them out to the pas
ture, he put one peck of dry ashes per week
on the ground in the pasture. They ate it
all and gnawed off the grass where it had
been laying. The cattle began to improve,
gaining flesh and looking better than they
had for several years. He says this morbid
appearance was unnoticed years ago, from
the fact that the ground was new and ashy
from the burning of woods and land clear
ings. Since this discovery, he gives one
quart of salt mixed with one quart of ashes,
to twelve head of cattle about once week.

LAND DRAINAGE.-There is scarcely a
farm on which drainage is not required, and
open weather in winter and spring should
be taken advantage of to collect materials
for the drains. Tiles are the most uniform
and portable material for drainage, yet in
many cases other material may be used. In
Great Britain and Ireland millions of acres
are drained by stonedrains, that is with
drains filled to certain height with small
stones, over which green sods are inverted
and a perfect. covering made to prevent the
entrance of sand or earth. The drains are
then filled up with the soil that has been
thrown up in forming them. On some
farms small stones exist in large quantities
and their removal from the surface cf tillage
fields, meadows and pastures is necessary.
These may be used with good effect in drain
ing low and marshy places. The drains
should be made in the shape of blunt
wedge from four to six inches wide at top
and three feet deep. These should be filled
with stones to the height of 10 or II inches,
the smallest stones being placed on the bot
tom. A main drain with good outlet
should be constructed before the smaller
drains are made.

Raising Chickens "by hand

Mr.. T. b. Rogers, the famous poultry rails
er at Wethersfeld, Conn, has "sensed the
precise thing" and has invented what he
calls an "artifcial mother" for the rearing
of young chickens. He estimates that at
least fifty per cent. OF chickens hatched are
lost by suffering from cold, by being stepped
on by their mother, and by cats and other
animals, and in various other ways He al
so finds that chickens to be profitable, should
be hatched in the winter He hatched three
broods in nine weeks with one hen-that is,
he takes away the chickens as soon as hatch
ed, and places fresh eggs under the hen, and
in this way keeps her busy propagating
chickens. Mr. Rogers next move was to
get some invention that would take care of
| the chickens when hatched, and he has con-
structed what he calls an artificial mother"
This box with two compartments, and
about three feet long by two and half wide.
| In the rear is lid covered with WOOL shut
| ting within three inches of the bottom this
is cut off from the front part by strip that
| can be raised on hinges. The front is pro-
tected 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 con easily get their bills into
these, and when they have got their fill they
can run under the wool-covered lid, which
is so soft and comfortable that they imag-
| inc they are under the old hens wings. Mr..
Rogers had in one of these boxes brood of
twenty-one chickens They we're as lively
as crickets, and seemed perfectly at ease.
Mr.. Rogers deals exclusively in Light Brah-
mas, and thinks they are the best layers, as
well as the most profitable fowls for the ia
BILE.

Miscellaneous.
The Young Lawyer,


The tie which bound certain Detroit
youth to lawyers office was severed yester
day, and his parents are happy. They
wanted the boy to make great lawyer, bu,
he was getting along too fast. lie pursued
his studies with an ardor which cast judi
cial shadow DER the household and created
considerable neighborhood talk. lie got
trusted for candy and repudiated the bill on
the ground that he was minor. He bought
dog and went into bankruptcy. He bor-
rowed pair of skates and defied the owner
to get out a writ of replevin. He borrowed
fifty cents and made the lender his assignee
But the worst of 1t was in the family. He
had legal name for almost everything, and
his desire was to prove to his parents that
he was just absorbing dead loads of law. If
he wanted potato at the dinner table he
would remark
Father, file my claims against that baked
potato and I'll prove my Indebtedness this
afternoon"
If he wanted bread, he said: "Mother get
me writ of attachment for a piece of
bread"
1t was expected of him that he would
light the morning fires, but no sooner had
he gained an insight into the law than he
said to his father.
"Pm going to move for change of venue
unless some other arrangement is made"
He moved for stay of proceedings when
asked to go the grocery, and if chided for
being out at nights he replied:
"File your declaration and give me a
chance for jury trial"
When he was in good humor he would
sit and regale his mother with stories about
Chancery who was going up town one night
and met oldEquity and asked him how Decree
was getting along. Old Pleadings and Ex-
ceptions came along just then, and there was
big fight, and the young lawyer would
slap his leg and declare
"If Indictment had only been there he'd
have whaled the whole crowd!'
The other day the long suffering father
severed the tie. He was trying to bear up
hoping for reform, but as he sat down to the
table his son frightened up and remarked /:
"The defendant will now take the stand
and be sworn. Now, sir, did you or did you
not come out of a Griswold street saloon at
IL O'Clock this morning, wiping your mouth
on the back of your hand Tell the jury
all about it, sir"
1t was little too much, and the boy
doesn't study law any more. He plays with
awood pile in the back yard. Detroit Free

COLO IN HoRsEs.-The Prairie Farmer
says relief may be obtained from this dose (:
Lin seed oil, raw, one pound oil of turpen-
tine, two ounces; hartshorn, one ounce !;
mix. The following tincture may be kept
in readiness: In two pounds of whisky
digest for eight days three ounces Of ginger,
three ounces of cloves, and then add four
ounces of sweet spirits of nitre. Half a
pint of this tincture is dose, in quart of
warm water. The abdomen should be rub
bed, the horse walked slowly about, (never
ridden, ,)and supplied with good bed, and
with room to roll about without risk of in
juring himself. If there is no relief in half
an hour, second dose may be given, and
ere long, if still required, a third. Farm
horses that have keen appetites, and devour
their food greedily, and when they have
been long in harness, are most apt to be
afflicted by this disease; wherefore care
should be exercised in feeding and water
ing Immediately after hard work.

WATERING PoULTRY-It is the belief of
the writer that many of the diseases Incl
dent to poultry are due to neglect in provid-
ing them with pure water; particularly do
| believe such to be the case, in the MAORI
ty of instances, where chicken cholera pre-
walls. The omission to furnish fowls with
suitable drinking water is one of the worst
features of cruelty to animals. 1t is neg
lect that is decidedly adverse to success,
hence tends to diminish individual fancy
for fowls, and works detriment to poultry
interests, Those whom we occasionally hear
say, "there is no profit in poultry" are not
qualified to have the management of the
same, and in their attentions may be classed
with the thriftless and negligent parties who
keep fowls that get drink when it rains

"The Canadian Farmer tells nice story
of a man named Langley, who went to st,
Mary's bay geese hunting. Seeing moose
on the opposite shore he fired, and at the
same moment porpoise leaped from the
water, and the bullet killed both it and the
moose. The porpoise foated to the shore,
and the hunter used it as raft to paddle
across to the moose. There he found that
the bullet, after killing the moose, had gone
into hollow tree in which was store OF
wild honey, which was flowing through the
hole made by the bullet. Reaching for
what he though was a stick to plug up the
hole, he caught rabbit by the leg. Rather
startled, he threw it violently from him, and
struck covey of eighteen partridges, kill
ing them ALL"

To CLEAN OLD PORK BARRELs.-Old
pork barrels, whether tainted or sweet, should
be thoroughly cleansed before being used for
new pork. A very simple and efIectual
method is to put in peck of strong wood
ashes aSd couple of pals of water and let
it stand day or two then scour thorough
ly with a stiff corn broom. The lye will
take hold of all the greasy particles with
which it comes in contact, and the ashes,
water and broom will, if vigorously used
leave them as sweet as new barrels. Rinse
in cold water to remove all the ashes, ther
pour boiling water all around the sides and
wash clean; now rinse again in cold watel
and the work is done.

The Scientific american says corn fed hens
do not lay in winter, for the simple reason
that there isne albumen material in the corn.
When wheat is given to them there is fat
enough in it to supply all that is needed for
the yolk, and albumen enough to make the
white, and lime enough to furnish the shell
it does not thus seem difficult to understand
why corn fed hens should not lay, as they
do not, and why wheat fed hens lay, as they
do
