Around the Farm.

1t is well to observe caution in chang
ing cattle from dry feed to full pasture
The safe way is to feed on the usual dry
fodder before turning out, bring up the
stock early in the afternoon, and feed
again on dry feed with roots. Another
precaution is to dose each Of the calves
and yearlings with two ounces of Ep-
som salts for two days before it is turn
ed out, and then graduate the feed as
mentioned Valley Farmer.
When you see chicken a little
droopy, and it's comb getting dark, re-
move it at once and doctor it for chol-
era; its discharges are green, and, if it
were allowed to run loose, would spread
the disease. AS preventive we use a
handful of salt twice a week in wash
basin full of bran mixed with little
meal, and three times week give corn
at night on which little coal oil has
been poured-just enough to coat every
grain and no more. Clean out your
chicken-houses; whitewash them and
scatter. carbolic acid around.-Pouztgy

Sometimes, however, there is really no

Sowing too thickly, the London Far
mer informs us, is fault among farm
ers quite as common in Europe as in
this country. Some seem to think that
the thicker they SOW the heavier will be
their crop, a view Of which experience
has shown the fallacy. Beside the
waste of seed, often very considerable,
nothing is more conducive to the LAY
ing of the crop than over-thick sowing,
and, if much wet weather is experience
ed, the crop will be little else than
straw. And, though it may thrive bet
ter in dry weather, the ear will be defic
lent both in quantity and quality, espec-
tally on sandy soil or poor land general
ly. The quantity of seed to be sown in
a given area depends upon the cultiva-
ton and manuring bestowed on the soil,
and the more carefully these have been
attended to the greater is the chance
that every grain will grow vigorously
and the less wisdom in sowing too thick
ly.

While it is certain that needless alarm
is frequently excited by exaggerated
statements regarding food adulteration,
there can be no doubt that many of the
articles of food met with on our tables
often contain foreign ingredients, which
are introduced either for the purpose Of
lessening their cost or improving their
taste and appearance.
Flour is subjected to adulteration
with other and inferior meals, such as
rice, beans, rye, potatoes and Indian
corn, the addition of which cheapens
the price and in some cases bestows a
good color upon damaged or inferior
grade, or causes it to take up an abnor-
mally large quantity Of water. The adj
dition Of foreign meals to -four is prac-
ticed, however, almost exclusively in
Europe, as most of the substances of
this class used, have in this country a
greater value than pure wheaton flour.
A more probable illustration with us is
the use Of alum and mineral substances;
the former is occasionally employed to
impart white color to flour; the latter,
which include sulphate of lime, kaolin,
chalk ard bone dust, being used to pro-
duce increased weight. 1t has quite re-
Gently come to light that -four con-
tanning ten per cent of a mixture of
chalk, plaster of Paris and barytes has
for some time formed steady article Of
export from Holland into other Euro
pean countries. The presence of such
substances as these can be detected by
placing the -four in long tube nearly
filled with chloroform, shaking the mix
ture and allowing it to stand, when the
pure -four will rise to the top of the liq-
uid, the heavier mineral adulterants
sinking to the baton. =
Bread naturally contains the foreign
ingredients added to the -four from
which it is made; but in addition to
these, other substances are sometimes
used in it's preparation. Alum is en-
ployed to prevent the action Of the dias-
tase upon the starch, and to prevent the
bread from becoming sour and mouldy;
and although this salt undoubtedly
tends to accomplish these results and
imparts a fine white appearance to the
bread, it's use is not justi6able. When
taken into the stomach it is liable to oc-
casion acidity and dyspepsia; further
more it prevents the solution OF large
proportion of the gluten of the bread,
thereby causing decrease in its nutrit-
ious value. A far more reprehensible
adulteration consists in the addition Of
sulphate Of copper, which has the same
effect on the color Of the bread and on
the diastdse. Although this salt il but

sometimes the pain is in the left side;
the patient rarely able to lie on theleft
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder blade, and it frequently
extends to the top of the shoulder, and
is sometimes mistaken for rlleuma-

ed with loss of appetite and sickness;
the bowels in general are costive, some
times alternative with lax; the head is
troubled with pain, accompanied with
dull, heavy sensation in the back part.
There is generally considerable loss
of memory, accompanied with pain
full sensation of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes
an attendant. The patient complains
Of WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains ola prickly sensation
ofthe skin !; his spirits are low: and al
though he is satisfied that exercise
would be beneficial to him, yet he can
scarcely summon up fortitude enough
to tryit. In fact, he distrusts every rem

Wonders OF Mechanism.
Journal Pour 1'ous.


Some wonderful accounts are handed
down of mechanism so constructed as to
resemble the figure and initiate the ac-
tions of mankind. Archytas, of Taren-
tum, about four hundred years before
our era, is said to have made a wooden
pigeon that could fly. Albertus Mag
nus constructed an automaton to open
his door when any one knocked. The
celebrated RegimOtanus made wooden
eagle that flew forth from the city, sa-
luted the emperor, and returned. He
also constructed an iron fly, which flew
out of his hand and returned, after fly
ing about the room In 1898, an au-
tomaton fute-player was exhibited at
Paris that played on the flute in the
same manner as a living performer. In
1741, Vaucansen produced fageolet
player, which played the fageolet with
the left hand, and beat tamborine with
the right. He also made duck, which
dabbled in the water, swan, drank and
quacked like real duck. A French
man exhibited duck in this city seven
or eight years ago which went through
several of the same operations. Autom-
atoms have been constructed which wrote
played on the piano-forte, etc. During
the present century Swiss named Nal
lards constructed figure representing
a female, which performed eighteen
tunes on the piano, and continued in
motion an hour. He also made another
figure representing boy that could
write and draw.
