Pears.

The old adage that lie who plants
pears. plants for his heirs" has been
abrogated by the introduction Of dwarf
trees and the production of q better
class of standards. A few years only
are needed to enable the planter to OBJ
tain fruit from q carefully selected or
chard of dwarf trees which may fill
the spaces between the standards, and
he removed when THE latter comes in
to bearing and need the ground. The
Gardeners Monthly records the follow
ing instance Of the successful growth
of a seeding proved profitable: There
is an impression that it is an endless
time to look for, before the pear tree,
set out, bears; but a beginning is gen
orally made with fruit in three or four
years from planting q grated tree.
Even a seeding tree is not as long IN
coming up to the work as people often
think. In this connection we may give
| the following from a Western paper
Thirty-fiye years ago M. "A. Wilkinson
planted a pear seed, which is q tree
now on q farm owned by Dennis Mel
son, near Dunlap, Peoria Co., III. This
tree is, Of course, a seeding, and bore
thirty bushels of pears in 1875, which
sold at the rate Of four dollars per
bushel The product for 1876 was
forty bushels and sold for about three
dollars per bu8hel Total result in
two years, $3.50. Who can beat this
The tree is said to have proven as
hardy as an oak. MI Nelson says he
has owned the farm for twelve years
and has not failed in this time to get
a good crop. Its Keeping qualities are
good. Will keep until Spring like q

French breeds and Dorkings. Here let
me say of all fowls, space or care is the
secret of health; that is, the less spree,
the more care. When kept with full
liberty, as on a farm, little care is re-
quired with adult fowls in the Sum
mer, but as soon as their liberty is cuI-
tailed, more change of food and clean
illness must be given. For a farm
some Of the best fowls for market are
Houdans, Dorkings and Plymouths, all
large, square-bodied birds. The two
former are far-famed for fine flavor
and delicate flesh; they breed large,
early Spring chickens, when crossed
with light Brahma hens. For eggs for
market the Leghorns still hold their
own, both in quantity, quality, and
size, ali three considered together.
After keeping an equal number Of
White and Brown in a house partition
ed in the middle, with run at each
end for each variety giving them all
| the same attention, the Brown proved
slightly more prolific than the White,
during the Spring months, and in hard
mess and constitution, the chicks of
the Brown were much the strongest.
The circumstances were as good as
could be with both breeds. Pullets of
each were procured from one party,
and the cockerels from others, of the
finest strains, and the Brown came out
ahead.

WHAT BREED TO RAISE.

| The inquiry often comes to us, from
persons differently situated what breed
Of fowls to raise. AS we have fire.
quently said, circumstances have
everything to do with a selection. If
the object is to produce eggs as a spec
ialty the choice would fall among the
free laying and and non-sitting sorts
il for taDle-fowls especially, the selec-
ton would be different. The con
ditions and circumstances for rearing
the fowls also influence the selection.
Some fowls do well, with proper
care, in partial confinement, while 9th
er kinds require more liberty for range
The adaptation of certain kinds to
certain purposes is clearly set forth in
the paragraphs that follow, taken from
a communication to the RurqJ NeaD
Yorker:
The various breeds of fowls have
been brought up to certain perfection
to meet the various conditions; how
much is due to accident Oh design, we
will not now discuss, but we do find
varieties fitted to different circumstan-
ces and uses. For instance, a man
who wants to raise fowls to kill for
market would not think of Hamburgs,
nor Of the Cochins, for market eggs.
A large class Of poultry-keepers are
those who live in small towns, or sub
urbs of large ones, who wish to enjoy
the pleasures Of poultry society, and to
have few fresh laid eggs daily; this
can be done with a few birds which
would consume the scraps from the
house with profit. To suit such con-
ditions, the Brahmas or Cochins are
highly fitted, being very quiet, of gentle
dispositions. If well fed they will be
contented in a very small space, lay
we'll through the Winter, and are good
for the table at any time if in good
condition; if not fat, they can be made
SO in very short time, as no fowls take
on fat SO readily. They require but
little fencing to keep them in; two feet
high is sufficient. There are other
fowls that viii bear confinement toll
erably well, Some are very handsome
such as the Hamburgs, Spanish and
Polands. Leghorns and Plymouth
Rocks require a little liberty. Those
that require still more liberty or larger
space are Games, Houdans, ali other

This is concocted by using a copper
coffee pot. Bring water to its first full
boil. After having ground the coffee
in an ordinary mill, screw the mill to
its finest possible capacity and regrind
the coffee, which becomes almost dust.
To every cup of water add a heaping
tea spoonful of this coffee dust, thrown
dry into the boiling water. Take it a
second from the fire, let it come again
to a boil, and then repeat the three
times. If the coffee be true Mocha, it
is a nectar fit for the-nicest husband

Perhaps the most important disc0y-
cry made by Professor Cope in Western
Texas is that of a domestic hog, with
undivided hoofs, similar to those of a
horse. Nature, in freak, first made
one, and from that more came, and now
they are quite numerous and raised for
meat. The Professor has the skin and
skeleton of one for his collection. This
is one Of the most important arguments
known in favor Of evolution, for here
we have not only a new genius, but
probably a new order of animals eVolY-

The same is also true Of Whooping
cough, cholera infantum,etc | refer
to Professor Won Niemeyer's treat
ment of whooping cough; it consists OF
equal temperature in a room of seven
ty-fye degrees, and the regulation of
appropriate digestion. He warrants,
by following this simple course, every
case of whooping cough to disappear
in three weeks. I think even this
could be shortened, Lemon juice, salt,
gum arabic and heat, are all that is re-
quired in cholera infantum-only the
restoration Of digestion is here more
difficult on account Of the intestinal
Innings being injured directly.

have been tried in vain for more chill
dren die Of scarlet fever now than one
thousand years ago. But why? Be
cause nothing, absolutely nothing, is
as yet known as to what scarlet fever
| is; and what is still worse, there was,
until recently, no need felt of such
knowledge.
1t is as unnecessary for q child to die
of the scarlet fever as it is that it
should be blind with cataract. Let US
see. At any time before the body has
finished it's Intellectual struggle we are
able to help it, not by wonderful med
icine, but by the knowledge of anat-
0my, and the application of common
sense. We consult the sympathetic
nerve, and do what it commands us to
do. We must give the child salt when
it wants it; we must give it acid when
it has fever and anxiously Graves it
not vinegar but lemon juice, because
the first coagulates albumen, the latter
does not, on account of the surplus of
oxygen which it contains. To initiate
the soothing mucus in the intestines,
which is now wanting, and to give
some respiratory food at the same time,
we add some gum arabic TO restore
and relieve the injured nerve, we APP
ply moist warmth.
In practice we can fulfil all this
with the following simple manipula-
ton: Undress the child and bring it to
bed at the very first signs Of sickness.
Give it, if it has already fever, moth
ing but Sourish warm lemonade with
some gum arabic in it. Then cover its
abdomen with dry flannel. Take a!
Well-f0lded bed sheet, and put it in
boiling hot water; wiring it out dry by)
means of dry towels, and put this over
the flannel on the child's abdomen.
Then cover the whole, and wait
The cloth will perhaps require re-
peated heat. According to the severity
of the case, and its stage of progress,
perspiratiOn will commence in the
child in from ten minutes to tWoI
hours. Soon after the child falls
asleep. When it awakes it shows

Soon speeds my bark across the foam,
Soon will We both be lost to sight.
For must seek a foreign strand,
Perchance another home tolfnd;
But in my own, my native land,
leave my hearts best love behind.
For though I roam from pole to zone,
And wander DER the waters wide.
My heart will cling to her alone
Whom once hoped to call my bride.
Whom once hoped? 0 bitter word,
That speaks Of hopes decayed and dead,
Of pictured pleasures blotched and blurred
OF saddened heart and aching head
Whom once hoped? Oh, speak it not.
Nor rend the broken heart again.
To that sad thought the present lot
Owes all its blackness, all its pain.
Cease, Memory, cease thy .saddening sway
Thou art at best doubtful good;
And let the dead past haste away
Into " the years beyond the Flood"
For l would sing happier strain,
And bid my love goodbye in peace;
Tor now veneer may meet again,
All bitter thoughts at least should cease.
Ii ere I wronged her, she'll forgive,
Inmemory Of the love bore,
Nor let fancied slight still live
To rankle in her bosom's core.
And though to me she was not kind
Thogh all my hopes she dashed
Yet shall her image in my mind
Shine bright as on the nappiest day.
No change of home, no change obscene,
Shall that bright image e'er deface,
Or still the thoughti0f what has been,
Or from my heartIly love erase.

With all nations of the earth eggs
have been a favorite food, and yet even
now their value is hardly appreciated.
There is no egg of any bird known
which cannot be used for food. A sim
ilarity exists in the construction of all
eggs, since the white portion of the
egg is present in every specimen. Pc
culiarities in form, size and color are
no tests Of the quality or freshness of
the eggs of fowls, for every hen has an
individuality about her own product;
although it is well known that feeding
has q decided influence on the flavor
and quality Of eggs.
The weight of an ordinary fowls egg
is one and one-half to two ounces,
whilst that of a duck is two to three
ounces; of a sea-gull and turkey three
to four ounces, and that of the goose
four to six ounces. Senenty-four per
cent. of an egg is water, in which re-
spect it is very similar to fish, lean meat
and potatoes. Of the remaining TWEEN
ty-siX per cent. about fourteen is nitro
genous and ten per cent. is fatty matter
The white of the egg contains no fat
but has more water and albumen than
the y0lk, while the latter contains all
the fat and sulphur. An egg of aver
age size contains about two hundred
grains of dry substance, of which near
| ly fifty per cent is heterogeneous, forty
per cent. fatty, and eleven per cent.
saline matters. In heterogeneous sub
stances the white of an egg. exceeds
that of all known foods, except peas,
cheese and poultry,
The shell being porous allows Of the
evaporation Of the fluids within, and
air accumHlates in their place; thus
an egg exposed to the air grows lighter
day by day, and deteriorates rapidly by
keeping. In a solution of one part salt
to ten parts water fresh egg will sink
slowly, whilst one that has been kept
some time viii swim, and really bad
eggs will float even in pure water. A
fresh egg should feel solid and heavy
lin the hand, while one that shakes III
the shell is usually bad. Many eXpe-
dents are in use for preserving eggs,
like solutions of quick-lime and water
also wax, gum or varnish; but the
most sensible way for the farmer to
have fresh supply during the Winter
months for his own use is to rear pull
lets early in the Spring, feed them we'll
in the Summer, and toward the close of
the year they will lay small but accep-
table eggs, with proper care.
A fresh-laid egg takes half minute
longer to boil than stale one. Raw
eggs digest in an hour and thirty min
utes; hard boiled and fried eggs re
quire three hours and one-nalf for di-
gestion, or as long as cheese and mutton
No food Of such desirable quality and
low cost is within the reach of every
farmer, and it behooyes each individ-
ual to give this important yet neglected
subject more thought and attention

KENOSHA COUNTY FARMERS
ASSOCIATION.

A regular meeting of this society,
was held in the basement Of the church
at Salem Station, ON Friday the 10th
inst, which on account of the very
bac condition Of roads was attended
only by the farmers living in the va
entity, yet, we had q very interesting
and instructive meeting that was made
more enjoyable by the efforts of the
ladies Of the neighborhood in proyi-
ding q bountiful repast, of which all
present partook with a zest that gave
full exP ssion to their appreciation of
the kindness.
A sore finger which makes it i'm
possible for me to write, must plead
my excuse for not doing justice to the
ladies present, but Mr.. r. F, Roberts
having kindly undertaken the task of
giving a full report of the meeting, for
which I tender him my thanks, will
amply amend any short-coming on my
part. The meeting was called to Or
der by the President, at II o'clock A.
M, and the minutes of the last meet
ing read by the secretary and accepted.
Mr.. A. J. Booth Of Salem, then read
his paper on the best mode of feeding
dairy COWS, which elected a lengthy
discussion in which most Of those
present took part.
Mr.. Roberts introduced motion to
amend the constitution, which was laid
over under the rules to the next meet
ing. The proposed amendment refers
to Art. 4, and substitutes the word
gentleman" for person" and adds:
ANY lady desiring to become a mem
Der shall be admitted on presentation
of her name.
The following resolution will be
introduced for discussion at the next
meeting Of the society by A. D. Corn
we'll Of Salem.
Reso5oed; That dairymen should
raise all the feed for the dairy, that
food purchased is, as a general rule,
fed without profit.
What wages can farmers afford to
pay per month for farm labor at the
prices Of farm products? will
be introduced by r. F. Roberts Of
Bristol.
After which the relative value Of
whey and skim milk for feeding hogs
will be discussed under the auspices Of
A. S. Barber of Salem.
A vote Of thanks to the ladies was
passed, and the meeting adjourned till
the second Wednesday in january
1878, to meet at the Grant House i'll
the City Of Kenosha, at which time
the annual meeting Of the society takes !
place under the constitution.

AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than a quarter of century, and have
obtained worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of eve.y-
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have batfled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
fill effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperent action they grippe much less
than the common purgatiyes, and never
give pain when the bowels are not infamed.
They reach the vital fountains Of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh.
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

Mrs. CLEMMER says that, judging by
Mr.. Blue Jeans WILLIAMS attire and
attitude, he imagines himself a second
LINCOLN. He looks not unlike the
earlier picture of LINCOLN, before he
lost his rail fence angles and Hoosier
expression of countenance; yet, all the
same, the fine sad, far-seeing eyes of
the greater man are wholly wanting in
the Indiana demagogue. He is
dressed in what seems to be a suit of
blue Iinsey-woolsey, his coat having a
black velvet collar and very long
skirts, and he waves like baton very
thick cane. He looks as if he had been
stewed in ague all his life, and shaken
all the flesh off his bones with chills.
Mrs. CLENrMER thinks also that Mr..
HEWITT looks melancholy-"his thin,
smooth hair cling8 to one of the sadest
of suffering faces"
