Onions for Poultry.


A lady writes TO the Country Gentle
man: In 1860 joined my husband
down in southwestern Virginia, and wa.
there during the war, and ! was engaged
in rai.ing poultry. went into the
chicken-hOuse one morning for eggs and
when / came out had to make com
plete change of apparel. | rccolected o,
reading in the Country Gentleman that
the feeding of onions to poultry would
exterminate poultry lice. l began at
once by chopping the onions fine, and
mixing with corn meal and hot water
After standing short time il was fed "a
the poultry, aud in less than three week.
the little pests had entirely disappeared

up fine and mix with the meal, wetting

just ss they did, il 1 followed their
example, in giving twenty-five chickens

would be ha!fdozen or more little
chicks on the outside of the hen that her
feathers could not cover in cold, frosty
morning. Three feelings week in the
spring and part of the summer is sufii-
cient. ! seldom fed the onions in the fall
or winter. One Of your correspondents
thought the eggs would taste of the
onions, but they do not. have noticed
their flavor in butter early in the spring,
when the cows (down south) ate leeks,
which were more forward than the grass,
but there is not particle OF this taste in
the eggs from the hens eating the onions.
My neighbors have had the ssme good
results in feeding onions.

Jewels of the Crown Of scotland

At Edinburg, Scotland, some years since,
the Jewels of the Crown were locked in a
box, that box in another, and SO on, until
they were supposed to be burglarproof.
They were then locked up in the vault OF
the castle, there TO remain for one hundred
years, the keys being placed in mortar and
fired into the sea. Scarce fifty years passed
by, and the modern lock.picker opens the
vault and boxes without trouble. So the
science OF medicine, when studied with the
aid of chemistry and the microscope, be-
comes plain and simple, and diseases that
were regarded incurable generation ago,
now readily yield to remedies employed by
the modern aud progressive physician. A
decade of years since, and women were
taught to believe that their peculiar diseases
and weaknesses were incurable but now
hundreds and thousands OF once bedi idden
women in the United States will testify to
the fact that DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip.
ton has effected their perfect and permanen t
cure.

Dear Sir-About five years since my wife
was taken sick, and though we employed the
best physicians in our city, yet she gradually
grew worse, so that she was confined TO the
bed. Every remedy ! had tried, or could
find, failed to cure or even give relief. At
last ] procured a bottle of your favorite
Prescription and to my surprise it gave
almost instant relief, and with little per.
severance. an entire cure was effected.

Mr.. r. F. Cockriil, of the stock.

the same at its late annual meeting on
"Grasses in Tennessee" in which he
said:
The fact that 40 small portion OF the

most i'm portant factor in the production

solving the great problem tina. is now
awakening the test minds in existence
viz, the preservation Of the soil, tn,
foundation of all prosperity, either indi
vidusl, state or national.
The estimated value Of the grass croI
OF the United States for pasturag,
and hay together is about 81,

Of this amount Tennessee is entitled
to At least one thirtieth, or thirty-thre,

When we realize the great importanc

that there would be no decision for several

visiting Sherman, to ascertain that Scholfeld
mad been already appointed and accepted. They
TAXED very plainly to the Secretary, saying
soat such conduct IS trifing with those who

character of your dealing, where do YOU ex-
pect support to come from?' They did n ct
complain of Scholield's appointment, but felt
aggrleAed at the want Of courtesy of Hayes
and Sherman in not notifying them that Schol-
field had already been appointed. Sherman
said that he could not notify them, as they did
not know that Scholfeld would accept.
