Where there is . continual dropping

ritation and Inflammation OF the nasal
cavities and throat, with hawking, splitting,
and sense of fullness about the head, be
not deceived or fancy it simple cold.
You are afflicted with that scourge OF this
climate, Catarrh, the forerunner of Con.
sumption. In its early stages q few bottles
Of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy will affect an
entire cure. When confirmed, DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery should be used
in connection with the Remedy. These
standard medicines have been before the
public many years, and their use has been
attended with the most gratifying success. A

How to Fatten Poultry for Market.

How to Fatten Poultry for Market.
Although the manner of fattenin,
poultry may seem easy, yet there i
nevertheless, a right and wrong way, .
long and q short mode, of accomplish
ing the object desired.
Never let poultry forage or shift foI
themselves for at least ten days before
killing, for they are apt to range in thu
barnyards, and pick up food, which
permeates all through the bird, its fesE
frequently becoming 80 tainted, that il
is unfit to be eaten.
The best method for steady and
regular profit, or for domestic use, is tc
keep them constantly in high feed from
beginning, with plenty of clear, cool
water; then they are alwaps ready for
the table, but with very little extra at
tention, their flesh will be iuicier and
richer in flavor, than those fattened
from a low and emaciated state, always
commanding quick sale, at the highest
price IN the market, a healthful, nour-
isbing and restorative food.
Some cram their poultry before kill
ing, to make it appear heavy; this is a
most jnjudicious plan, as it shows at a
glance, the dishonest intention of the
shipper to benefit himself and swindle
others, in his poor effort to obtain the
price OF poultry for corn; the undigest-
ed food enters into fermentation and
putrefaction takes place, iniuring their
sale q great deal more than is gained
in weight. Fowls should always be al
lowed to remain in their coop at least
twenty-four hours previous to being
killed, without food; then taey will
keep longer and present better ap-
pearance.
The best food for fattening fowls, old
or young, is barley meal, or mixed with
equal quantities of corn meal and fed
warm Ia small quantity of iron in their
drinking water is recommended which
will make flesh faster and more solid,
giving it fine golden color after being
dressed. Good food is positive economy.
The best mode for killing poultry, as
it causes instant death without pain or
is to suspend the birds
by tying their legs firmly to pole or
heavy wire across the floor, and open
ing the fowls beak, and with a sharp
pointed and narrow-bladed knife, make
an incision at the back of the roof,
which will divide the vertebre and
cause immediate death.
Dry-pluck the feathers and pin
feathers all off, neat and clean while
warm without hrea limo tho shin. thon
plunge it into a kettle of very hot
water, holding it there only long
enough for the bird to plump" then
hang it up, turkeys and chickens by the
legs, and ducks and geese by the
heads. Do not remove the entrails,
head or feet. This mode gives the
poultry nice buttery, golden color that
attracts the eye of the epicure.-Anser-

The Husband who Was to Mind the
House.
STORY FROM THE NORsE

The Husband who Was to Mind the
House.
A STORY FROM THE MORSE.
Once on time there was man so
surly and cross, he never thought his
wife did anything right in the house.
So, one evening, in haymaking time,
he came home, scolding and showing
his teeth and making dust.
"Dear love. don't be 50 angry; there's
good man," said his goody; "to-mor-
row let's change our work m go out
with the mowers and NOV, and you
shall mind the house." z.-,.
Yes! the husband thought that would
do very we'll. He was quite willing, he
said.
| So early next morning, his goody
took a scythe over her neck, and went
out into the bayfield, with the mowers,
and began to NOV; but the man was
to mind the house, and do the work at
home.
First of all, he wanted to churn the
butter; but when he had churned a
while, ne got thirsty, and went down to
the cellar to tap a barrel of ale. So,
just when he had knocked in the bung,
and was putting the tap into the cask,
he heard overhead the pig come INTO
the kitchen. Then off he ran m the
cellar steps with the tap in his hand, SIS
fast as he could, to look after the pig
lest it should upset the churn; but
when he got up, and saw the pig had
already knocked the churn over, and
stood there, roofing and grunting
amongst the cream which was running
all over the floor, he got so wild with
rage, that he quite forgot the ale bar
rel, and ran at the pig as hard as he
could. He caught it too, just as it ran
out of doors, and gave it such a kick,
that piggy lay for dead on the spot.
Then all at once he remembered he
had the tap in his hand; but wnen he
get de4s Y te the eell.E y every drop eff
ale had run out.
Then he went into the dairy and
found enough cream left to ELL the
churn again, and so he began to churn,
for butter they must have at dinner.
When he had churned bit, he remem-
bered that their milking COW was still
shut up in the byre, and hadn't had a bit
to eat or drop to drink all the morning,
though the sun was high. Then all at
once he thought t was too far to take
her down to the meadow, SO he'd just
get her up on the house top-for the
house, you must know, was matched
with sods and fine crop of grass was
growing there. Now their house lay
close up against q steep down, and he
thought if he laid q plank across to the
thatch at the back ned easily get the
4 COW up.
But still he couldn't leave the churn,
for there was his little babe crawling
about on the floor, and "if I leave it,
he thought, the child is sure to upset
it." So he took the churn on his back
and went out with it; but then be
thought he'd better first water the COW
before he turned her out on the thatch;
SO he took up a bucket to draw water
out of the well; but as he stopped down
at the wells brink, all the cream ran
out of the churn over his shoulders
and SC. down into the well.
i Now it was near dinner-time anG
he hadn't even got the butter yet; sc
J, he thought he'd best boil the porridge,
and filed the pot with water, and huns

The Season and Zone Of Homes,

One stronger reason than all others
for being glad that we live in the tenn.
perate zone, is that it is the zone Of
homes.

said, each consider their own country
the fairest the sun shines upon, and
charming stories of domestic life have
come to us from these icy ATTITUDES.
But the Esquimaux and Kamtchat.
kans, and those inhabitants of extreme
Arctic regions who must live in snow
nuts, or burrow underground for
warmth, cannot know the rich and ten
der meanings the word "home" has for
us.
How much comfort there is in our
cosy houses alone-in the clean, warm
room, perhaps with a glowing freside;
the white table spread with wholesome
and delicate food; the cheerful circle
around the lamp at evening; the books,
the sewing, the games; the sound sleep
of the long, snowy night, in beds as
white as the drifts outside; and the
many other nameless blessings of a civ
AA11CO 1AOl11C AACSC tuO Clll1u1CQ VI
the eternal SHOWS must do without.
There is more poetry in really
beautiful home-life than in the finest
natural scenery; but it lies too deep in
the heart for words to express. It is
poetry that is felt rather than spoken.
A happy home is poem which every
one of the family is helping to write,
each for the enjoyment of the rest, by
little deeds of tenderness and self-sac-
ritice, which mean so much more than
words. This home-poem is all the
more delightful because it does not
ask or need admiration from anybody
outside. The poetry that people live
in, of which they are part, and which
is part of them, is always the most
satisfactory, because it is the most real.
Think, little folks, of all the poems
and fragments of poems you know,
that never could have been written ex-
cept in a country where tempest and
sleet and long hours of darkness drove
men and women and children within
doors, and kept them there to find out
how dear and sweet thing it is for a
family to live together in love.-&.
