Care Required for Poultry-Set it down
in your notebook in large letters: No
sloven can succeed with fowls! because
neglect kills them, and ruins all prospect
of success even if portion happens to
live in defiance of every known law of
health and comfort. For instance, many
inquire: "How can 1 cure cholera among
my flocks!' or, What will prevent chol-
era! My chickens are dying at fearful
rate.' Water will not cure and may not
prevent cholera among our focks; but
where there is not an abundant and con-
slant supply of pure water, there, GER
tainly, cholera is invited. Killing and
burying the first roupy fowl or chick may
not stop the spread of this scourge of the
fancier; but keeping one in the flock
while you are trying to cure it, is almost
certain to develop more cases, which will
test your endurance, perhaps, more than
your skill in treatment. Prepare hos
pital for your sick fowls, which shall be
as remote as possible-within reason, of
course-from your healthy flocks, and re-
member, " A good killer is good breed
r." SO you must sometimes STAY one or
two to save multitude.-Poultry World.
Veno5se Iatdding.-Put into mixing
basin five ounces of bread cut into dice;
five ounces of dry bread crumbs; the
grated rind and juice of lemon; three
ounces of sugar; three ounces of candied
orange peel, and glass Of sherry wine.
then brown in saucepan one ounce of
lump sugar, after which pour into it a
half pint Of milk. CThis is the caramel
or browning of French cookery and i'm
parts both flavor and color to puddings.)
Break the yelks Of four eggs, and add to
them a gill of cream. Mix with the
caramel, and pour over the ingredients in
the basin; let the mixture stand two or
three hours to soak. Butter a mold and
pour the mixture into it, (but do not fill
the mold quite full) and steam two
hours.
Mock Oyster Fritters.-Wash some roots
of satisfy, crate them, and season with
pepper and salt,a flour enough to make
a not very stiff batter. Drop a spoonful
at time into boiling lard Cor better rem
dered beef suet till delicate brown.
AnotAer.-Scrape the roots thoroughly
and lay them in cold water ten or fifteen
minutes. Boil the roots until tender,
drain, and when cold, mash with wood
en- spoon to fine paste, taking out all
of the fibers. Moisten with little sweet
milk; add teaspoonful of butter and an
egg and half tor every cup of satisfy.
Beat the eggs light, and then make into
cakes. Dredge with flour, and fry light
brown.
Wit is said that the color of the inside Of
the cows ear affords an infallible guide to
the selection of good butter COW. 1.-THE
skin on the inside of the ear is of rich
yellow or orange color and the lining of
the ear is covered with an oily secretion,
the COW will be sure to give good quail
ty of milk, rich in butter. Cows that pro-
duce high colored butter have a large
amount Of the secretion, the inside of the
the ear being of an orange tint. On the
other hand, light color butter-makers
present scanty, thin, and pale yellow Sc
erection, in some cases found only at the
bottom of the ear, while the lining is of a
correspondingly pale, underlined color.
Every female Of the bovine family has the
power of sccrcting q certain amount of
this oily matter. If the quantity be alb
normally large, secretion will take place
frequently in the mammary glands, the
ear and the skin. AS the test is simple
and costs nothing, it cannot fail to prove
a very useful auxiliary to the dairyman
and farmer in their selection of rich
mixers.
