symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the
l edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of
the shoulder, ard is sometimes mis-
taken for a rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss Of
appetite and sickness; the bowels in
general are costivc, sometimes alter
native with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with a dull,
heavy sensation in the back part.
There isgencra,ly considerable loss
ofmemory, accompanied witha pain
full sensation of having left undonc
something which ought to have been
done. a slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. The patient
complains weariness and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains sf
priekly sensation of the skin; his
spirits are low; and although he rs
satisfied that exercise would be bene-
fetal to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try
it. In fact, he distrusts every rem-
edy. Several Of the above symp.
toms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-

One Cow q Mine of Wealth.

The history of the Shorthorn COW,
Duchess Goth, which sold in 1S53,at Earle
Ducie's sale, in England, to Col. Morris,
of Fordham, for 700 guineas, or $3,675,
is remarkable as showing the actual val
ue of one good breeding animal. From
this COW, which was calved in November,
1850, there may be traced in direct de-
scent number of animals which have
sold for about 100000. Let it be ad-
mitted that as much of this value as may
be is depending ON fancy or rich breeders,
and is not the intrinsic value of the beef
and milk produced; yet no one can help
admitting that an immense value, esti-
mated in these alone, has accrued to the
world from this COW; and in pro-
portion to this value may be estimated
the profit to breeder from any superior
animal he may produce. A line of breeding
animals is brought into existence which
spreads out fan-like, and DIVORCES year
by year wider and wider, until we can
no longer reach the bounds of the beneti-
cial influence. 1t is in this that lies the
value of any good animal, and it is an un-
fair disparagement to contine its value to
the weight of meat upon its carcass, or
its produce in milk and butter. The
breeder who produces superior animal
sets in motion an impulse which must in
time spread and increase enormously,
and far beyond computation.-American
Agricutturist.

Breaking Up Sitting Hens.

l can see no necessity of trying the
many harsh expedients recommended to
break them up. God has given them the
instinct, and why should they be abused
for carrying out the design of their Crea-
tor! Why should they be pulled from
the nest with such rough hands and flung
upon the floor, with force enough to
stun the poor innocent things, every night
for week or more9 Why should they
be doused in water; tied by the leg;
starved; kicked and knocked about, for
acting out the nature given theme If a
hen sits, remove her very gently from the
nest, and place her and all others taken
the same way, in yard by themselves.
AT night, or when it rains, let them go
into the pen kept for their benefit, but
have nothing there but the roost. After
they have been thus confined few days,
with plenty of good food and pure water,
they may be ready to go to laying again.
Let them all out and they will go into
their own pens, and if done wishing to
sit, they will go to roost, but if still ma
ternally inclined, they will go into the
nest boxes. Go out after dark and re-
move them again, and 80 on. The hen
house should always be entered very
quietly. You cannot work too still. The
timid birds will soon learn to remain
quiet when approached, and the bold
ones will crowd around you and really
seem glad of your company, and if
you talk to them in low, soothing tones,
they learn to enjoy it.
We never buy wheat screenings, but
consider wheat the best egg producing
food. We are raising but few chicks
this year, as it is great deal of work to
get them early enough to make them
pay.-Cor. Country Gentleman.

A New Food for Horses.

A new kind of mash for horses is now
coming into use. 1t is thus described by
the California Farmer.
1t is composed OF two quarts of oats, one
of bran and half a pint of haxseed. The
oats are first placed in the stable bucket,
over which is placed the linseed; add
boiling water, then the bran, covering the
mixture with an old rug and allowing it
thus to rest five hours; then stir the mass
we'll up. The bran absorbs while retain
ing the vapor, and the linseed binds the
oats and bran together; a greater guam
tity of faxseed would make the prepa-
ration too oily and less reished. One feed
per day is sufficient; it is easily digested,
and is especially adapted to young ami
mails, adding to their volume rather than
to their height, giving substance to the
frame. Prof. Samson reminds us not to
overlook food, in connection with the
amelioration of stock. He considers
oats, 80 generally given to sheep, is OBJ
jectionable, and approaching the unproit
able; rams generally receive one pound
of oats daily; ewes half the quantity.
Oats forming an exciting food are espe-
cially suited to rams during the season
they are to serve, but for fastening the
development Of young sheep, they only
build up the bones, not the flesh.

Too Much WORK. - Said one of
the oldest and most respectable farm
ers in this State: 81 do not care to
have my men get up before five or half
past five in the morning, and if they go
to bed early, and sleep soundly, they
will do more work than if they got up at
four or half-pa four" We do not be-
lieve in the eight-hour law, but neverthe-
less are inclined to think, as n general
rule, we work too many hours on the
farm. The best man we ever had to dig
bitches seldom worked, when digging by
the rod, more than nine hours aday. And
it is so by chopping wood by the cord
The men who accomplish the most, work
the fewest hours. They bring all their
brain aud muscle into exercise, and make
every blow tell. A slow, plodding Dutch
man may turn a grindstone or tanning
mill better than an energetic Yankee,
but this kind of work is mostly done by
horse power, and the farmer needs, above
all else, clear head, and with all his fac
ulties of mind and muscle, light and act
i've, and under complete control. Much,
of course, depends on temperament; but,
as a rule, such men need sound sleep, and
plenty of it. Let farmers, and especially
farmers boys, have plenty to eat, nothing
to drink" and all the sleep they want
and can take.-Er.

IT is an interesting fact, to which Sir
c. Wyville Thomson has lately called at
tention, that Captain Mares, the com
mander of the recentlyreturned British
Arctic expedition, is the last Of the few
navigators who have crossed the Antarctic
Circle. He commanded the Challenger
early in 1874, when that vessel, with the
English Government scientific expedition
on board, visited the regions about the
South Pole. The icebergs of these high
southern ATTITUDES appear to have been
all tabular originally, the surface gener-
ally being perfectly level and parallel
with the oceans surface; and in his re-
cent Glasgow lecture, Sir c. Wyville
Thomson said there could be no reason
able doubt that the great table-topped
icebergs which they saw were prIsmatic
blocks broken from the edge of the great
Antarctic ice-sheet, or wall of ice, which
has been seen by English and American
navigators at but one or two points. No
trace of gravel or any other substance
necessarily derived from the land was no
ticed upon any of the icebergs seen In the
Southern Ocean.

The New Italian Gun.

The correspondent of the London
Times at Spezzia gives the following ac-
count of practice with the great 100 ton
gun of the new Italian iron-clad Duilio :
Conceive a shell weighing 1000
pounds, and moving at the rate of 1874
feet per second-much faster than sound
travels through the air. Yet the deter
mination was arrived at to 60 a step far
Their (the guaranteed velocity having al
ready been considerably exceedeD and
try charge of $50 pounds. All being
arranged accordingly, the new cartridge
was brought up, looking considerably
thicker, and being the same length of the
shot-four feet. Once more the snarling
sound of the rushing water was heard,
the rammer drove home cartridge and
shot together, and the deck was cleared.
For some reason everybody seemed a lit
tie more anxious about this round, and
MANY hands were held over ears when the
trumpets sounded, Fire! The awful bel
low of the big gun seemed to shake the
ground, and was reverberated from noun
tain to mountain, waking the echoes Of
Zezzano, Port Venera and Lerici; dense
cloud of smoke Obscured the air and
bung for a time over the flashing waters !;
the pontoon started back with slow,
clumsy motion, but the monster himself,
the agent of all the turmoil, looked
serenely unconscious of anything un-
usual. Yet he spat from his mouth a
prOjectile weighing two thousand pounds,
with velocity of 1,456 feet per second,
giving blow equal to the force required
to lift 80, 400 tons a foot high, and in his
exertions he had submitted to a maximum
internal strain tending to tear him open,
of about $4,000 tons. His recoil left
nearly seven inches to spare for higher
charge.
at would be impossible to describe the
satisfaction of the Italian officers. The
president of the committees, Admiral
Martin Franklin, was full of JOY and
kindly congratulations, while Captain
Albini, who must have felt the burden of
terrible responsibility during the last
few days, could not but show on his usu-
ally calm and quiet face the pleasure
with which he was moved. 1t Is plain
that considerably more work can be got
out of the gun, but it has already sur
passed the greatest power developed by
the 80 ton English gun in an exceptional
round. The work of the English shot
was $4,000 foot tons; the work Of the
Italian shot was 80, 400 foot tons. The
work per inch of circumference was, in
the case of the English shot, $40 foot
tons, that of the Italian shot $50 foot
tons. Nothing was strained in the least
degree. The same quiet movement of a
handle that child could push sent the
weight of 100 tons quietly back to its
place, another touch depressed the muz-
zle instantly for loading and moved its
muzzle up and down rs required. All
worked with the same smooth regularity
as ever"
