How to Fatten Chickens.

1t is hopeless to attempt to fatten
chickens while they are at liberty: They
must be put in proper coop, and this,
like most poultry appurtenances, need not
be expensive. To fatten twelve fowls, a
coop must be three feet long, eighteen
inches high, and eighteen inches deep,
made entirely of bars. No part of it
solid, neither top, side nor bottom. Dis
cretion must be used according to the
sizes of the chickens put up. They do
not want room; indeed, the closer they
are the better-provided they can all
stand up at the same time. Care must
be taken to put up such as have been &C
customed to be together, or they will
fight. If one is quarrelsome it is better
to remove it at once, as, like other bad
examples it soon finds imitators. A dis
eased chicken should not be put up. The
food should be ground oats, and may
either be put in trough or on a fat
board running along the front of the coop.
1t may be mixed with water or milk; the
latter is better. 1t should be we'll slaked,
forming pulp as loose as can be, pro-
vided it does not run off the board. They
must be we'll fed three or four times a
day-the first time as soon after day
break as possible or convenient, and then
at intervals of four hours. Each meal
should be as much and no more than they
can eat up clean. When they have done
feeding, the board should be wiped and
some gravel should be spread. 1t causes
them to feed and thrive. After fort
night Of this treatment, you will have
good fat fowls. If, however, there are
but four to six to be fattened, they must
not have so much room as though there
were twelve. Nothing is easier than to
allot them the proper space; it is only
necessary to have two or three pieces OF
wood to pass between the bars and form
partition. This may also serve when
fowls are put up at different degrees of
fairness. This requires attention, or fowls
will not keep fat and healthy. AS soon
as the fowl is sufficiently fattencd it must
be killed, or otherwise it will still get fat,
but it will lose flesh. If fowls are in
tended for the market, of course they are
or may be all fattened at once; but if for
home consumption, it is better to put
them up at such intervals as will suit the
time when they are required for the table.
When the time arrives for killing, whether
they are meant for market or otherwise,
they should be- tasted without food or
water, for twelve or fifteen hours. This
enables them to be kept some time after
being killed, even in hot weather.-Lon-
don Cottage Gardener.

The California Glove Co.

Progress Is the watchword Of the a.ge, the
onward movement Is perpetual. and, Ia CON
merce, perhaps, more than In anything else
No one can afford TO stand still, II he dos
so he will be pushed aside and trodden into
insignifieance. However, the energy md
enterprise Of our citizens leave little % be-
desired in the way Of advancement Every
trade is numerously represented here, and.
even interests, which were supposed, al one
time, TO be beyond Californian scope and %
be localized in Eastern or European cities
are beginning ID lind that San Francisco D az
room TO receive them and talent 10 work
them successfully.
We apply these remarks at present tO the
manufacture OF gloves, an industry that las
obtained quite foothold in California We
take pleasure in connecting with the fore
going observation the name Of the California
Glove Company, conducted by Messrs. 4. a
+. &. Conklin, at No. 4l9 Battery street, san
Francisco. The company have been estab-
lished here about II years, and are the pho
neer and leading house in the business. The
manufacture of buckskin gloves is a special
ty with this house, but they also make up =
great variety from other material, such as
kid, dog, lamb, etc, and, in their season,
cloth and blanket gloves for use in the cold
sections of this and adjoining states and ter
ritories.
The company consume annually about
forty thousand skins of various kinds, Which
are cut into gloves, furnishing employ ment
to fifty hands as utters, tanners and makers,
thus retaining in tn State thousands of dol
lars that would otherwise be sent abroad.
We take especial pleasure in Introducing
this firm to our readers notice, inasmuch as
it is a purely Californian concern, carried on
in our midst, giving remunerative work TO
many persons in the city, and standing on
its own merits without seeking the prestige
given by importations from the East. This
energy and enterprise have borne fruit in
immense patronage, showing the estimation
in which goods of this house are held, and
the California Glove Company's success in
native glove manufacture should give lively
satisfaction to public spirited Californians.

How To PACK RIPE PEACHEs.-Quite
as much pleasure has been felt upon be-
ing informed Of the satisfactory condition
of such soft fruits as ripe peaches and
nectarines after journey of 800 miles as
in winning a well. contested prize at a
flower show. The plan which has proved
perfectly successful, and which is now in
vsrisbly followed whenever fruit is sent
by rail, is to wrap each bunch of grapes
or fruit of other kinds in soft tissue paper,
surrounding it with slight padding OF
sweet bran as the fruit is placed side by
side in box. The paper is put upon
the fruit in plain folds, and not twisted
into hard corners, which may press into
the next fruit and spoil it. Much care is
taken to have each fruit thoroughly en-
veloped in bran, which is also settled
into as compact mass as possible by
slightly Earring each box upon the pack
ing bench after the top layer is put in,
and when it is quite full a sheet of paper
is put upon the bran and the hinged lid
closed by hooks and eyelets of copper
wire, and securely corded. If this excel.
lent old method is only done correctly all
risks of failure is avoided.-London

Thinning Fruit.

A correspondent of the Detroit Free
Press says In Michigan the champion in
the business of thinning fruit is MIR. A.
S. Dyckman, of South Haven, who has
spent 81 900 this season in thinning out
his peach crop, and confidently expects to
get his money back, and more too, above
what he would have obtained with five
times the number of peaches of inferior
size. John A. Thomas, in the Country
Gentleman, after speaking Of the increased
price of peaches that had been thinned,
says The same result has been obtained
with pears. In one experiment, after two
thirds of the fruit on trees of Loise Bonnie
of Jersey had been taken oil, the crop
was not diminished in quantity; it would
have been better if tbree-fourths had been
removed. The objection that additional
labor is required for thinning is not valid,
as it is much easier to pick off the young
fruit rapidly when no care is necessary to
prevent the bruising, than to hand pick
the same specimens after they are grown,
and then to assert them carefully by re-
jectisg all the poor ones. Well thinned
crops need little asserting. In thinning
apples and pears, throw off the small, i'm
perfect and wormy specimens, and leave
the largest and smoothest. In this way
the insects are early destroyed, and the
trees will not be exhausted by bearing
surplus of worthless fruit. The earlier
the work is done in summer the better
for both tree and crop. 1t is worth ex-
perimenting definitely to ascertain what
distances are the most profitable for the
remaining fruit after thinning; probably
six or eight inches for pears, and nearly
as much for peaches; large kinds, of
course, requiring more room than small
ones.

No COMPIAINT.-He was singularly
grave man, even for sexton. For nearly
half a century he had been a public func-
tionary-had performed the conspicuous
duties of sexton-yet no one had ever
seen him smile. Occasionally he joked,
but he did it in such a funeral manner
that no one could accuse him of levity.
One day he was standing on the church
steps wiping his melancholy features with
red bandana. A hearse stood near, and
three or four carriages were drawn up be-
hind it. The notes Of the organ tioated
out of the open windows with solemn eff
feet. A stranger came along and said;
"Funeralf"
And the old sexton gravely bowed his
head-it was.
"Who's dead2"
The old man again wiped his brow and
gave the name of the deceased.
"What complaint" asked the inquisi-
tive stranger.
Solemnly placing his bandana in his
hat and covering bis bald head, the old
sexton made answer:
"There is no complaint; everybody is
entirely satisfied. " Worcester Press.

MEET Me IN HEAvEN.-One of the
most affecting incidents of the Pittsburg
riot was that in connection with the death
of little boy. He was shot ip the abdo-
men and was carried into saloon near by.
A physician was summoned, while the little
sufferer lay upon a piece of oil-cloth
spread upon the floor. The life blood
was ebbing from him and covering the
cloth with gore, but he was conscious and
able to talk little at intervals. He kept
calling for "water, water" and eagerly
drank the precious liquid handed him.
Just after one of his paroxysms of pain
he seemed to become conscious of the
fact that things earthly would soon fade
from his view. He was a boy of more
than ordinary intelligence, and as the
fact of his approaching dissolution be-
came impressed upon him, he asked tina,
his mother be called. They told him
that she had been sent for but might not
reach him in time. "Then," said he, ''ii
die, tell mother to meet me in heaven
He died soon afterward.

Throughout Russia the war-feelinR Is
Exceedingly strong. The Russian women,
especially, display a warm interest in the
welfare of the army. 1.-Two DAYS ago"
writes the St. Petersburg correspondent
of the Manchester Examiner, lat the in
vitation of Baroness Radinah, spent an
hour in going over the building near Fort
Nichols in which the Red Cross Society
is installed, and anything so perfect In its
arrangements can scarcely be imagined
Every conceivable thing that human in.
genuity could suggest or invent is there
ready to be forwarded for the use and
comfort of the sick and wounded sol
diers. As passed through the rooms
could not help expressing to Madame Ra-
dinah my establishment at the number of
beautiful women l saw around me, all
wearing the regulation pinafore, with u
red cross on their breast. But the Baron
ess told me that one was Madame Narisch-
kina, nee Princess Kourakina; another
the Countess Schouvaloff, and all ladies
of rank and fortune-all working as if
their daily bread depended upon their
exertions. In every noble mansion, in
every cottage in Russia, this work is GO
ing on all day long. The men are fight
ing for the Cross, the women are silently
working for those who fall in its defense.
1t is national war, and the sentiment is
the same in the breast of the Princess as
of the peasant. From what have seen
l believe there is not lady in Russia who
would not cheerfully place every jewel
she possesses-and ladies here are rich in
jewels-to be disposed of for the cause
in which her country has taken up arms.
If those who talk so loudly of British in
terests," could see, as have seen, the de-
votedness of this people to the object for
which war is being waged, l believe they
would feel ashamed of the policy which
puts imagined self-interests before the
calls of humanity, and would leave some
millions of fellow Christians to toll on
under barbarous yoke because of some
fancied detriment that may ensue in
years to come"
