Keep the Young Ducks out of the Water

The Poultry World says: "Whether
ducklings be brought out under ducks or hens
the younglibgs should be kept away from the
water until they are three to five weeks old %
Tnree-tourths OF the young ducks that are
lost in early infancy are killed by cramps
and chills from allowing them 10 rush into
cold water before the down upon their skin is
thick enough to resist these i'll effects.
Tue wild water-towIs have an oily coat
that helps to preserve them; while domestic
ated ducks loose this under home cultivation
1t has been found, from oft repeated expert
ment, that duckliDgs do well largely in pro
portion where they are not permitted to have
access TO water to swim in until they are
four or six weeks old. They should be start
ed early. and thu, they mature more profta-
bic, for fall use, like all other domestic fowls
OF the large sorts.
If our readers will bear the above in mind
and act upon it, they will save good mum
Der of young ducks which will otherwise be
lost We have never been able to figure out
much profit in duck raising in New Hamp
shire but they are handsome bird and add
greatly to the attraction of poultry yard.
Moreover, every farmers boy has, at one
time or another, the duck-fever, and, while
1t lasts, it is very harmless and pleasant
disease. Mirror and Farmer.

THE GREAT DISCOVERY.
A New IIousenold Word.

But comparatively few Of the forty millions
Of people in the United States have rs yet heard
Of that most wonderful discovery, Carboline,
whereby the growth and vlgor as well as the
natural color Of the hair is restored; but the
tens of thousands who have already q know
ledge of the article are speaking its praises,
and soon 'Carboline" will become a household
word throughout the length and breadth Of
the land.
A few facts connected with the history Of
Carbollne will prove interesting to our readers.
/. 1t was by the untidy habit Of a servant,
who, when trimming the lamps always wiped
his oily hands on his scanty locks, that the
effects of petroleum upon the growth Of the
hair were noticed. In a short time this old
servant, bald and gray-headed as he was, be-
gan to show a good head Of hair. and the Sc
cret was out. 2. But the best refined petro-
leum cannot be used as a hair dressing and
the chemists art had to be employed, 30 as TO
destroy the offensive odor, and at the same
time retain the subtle qualities which gave
health to the scalp and natural color and vigor
10 the hair. This feat was accomplished in
the production of Caroline, which is deodor-
lied petroleum. 3. Every one who has handled
petroleum knows what a penetrating, active
agent it is. 1t cannot be retained in wooden
casks at all, unless they are coated with some
impervious material, and 1t is not surprising
tlhJ IL goes llBnI nome 10 the FOCUS OF a per-
sons hair, when it can find its way through
the best oak slaves ever made. 4. The medi-
cal properties of petroleum have been well at
tested ever since the Seneca Indians, more
than a century ago, used it fol- various dis
eases.
1t doubtless possesses therapeutic virtues
not yet developed, and its use in healing dis
eases of the scalp from which badness and
premature grayness of the hair result, may
lead to other and important discoveries. g.
Chemistry has extracted from petroleum some
of the most beautiful colors ever known, and
while 1t may be impossible to determine
whether Carboline changes the color of the
hair chemically, or through its healing effects
upon the functions of the scalp, certain 1t is
that by its use the natural hue of the hair is
gradually restored. The most plausible theory
is that the change results from restoring the
growth to its natural strength aud yigor by
removing dandruff, cleansing the scalp and
imparting renewed activity to the ~follicles.
Other facts might be given in support of the
claims of this wonderful preparation, but the
article is telling its own story in the hands Of
thousands who are using it with the most
gratifying results. Let the prematurely gray
and bald but give it a fair trial, and Carboline
will be to them a household word full of the
most gratifying significance. Sold by druggists.

A Large Elm.

One of the largest and most beautiful
elms known stands in the market place
of Schinsheim, Germany. It's beauty
of form, rather than its enormous size
it is not the largest elm in Germany
is that for which it is especially
worthy of notice. Scheinsheim is little
village near Worstadt, in the Grand
Duchy of Hesse. The stem is hollow,
but the outer wood is quite sound and
healthy. The circumference, close to
the ground, is fifty feet. These are no
historical particulars known of this
tree, and even its birth and therefore
its age are unrecorded-but it is esti-
mated to be at least 600 years old. As
regards size, the above ranks fourth
among the giant elms of Germany.

pennsylvanIa Coneg ofDentai surgery.

OF the various professions, there is
probably no one offering, to-day, a
more certainly lucrative field to the ed
ucated and skilled practitioner than
does that of Dentistry. The rapid pro-
gress this profession has made during
the past few years is well portrayed
IN the 23d annual announcement of the
Pennsylvania College of Dental Sur
gerry, which has just been issued; and
from it we should judge that the proud
celebrity which this college has won on
account Of the great influence it has ex-
erted in advancing the science which it
has so ably represented during the past
twenty years, is to be fully sustained in
the future.
The record of its usefulness extends
over the entire period of the greatest
progress made in dental surgery, and it
will commence its twenty-third annual
session October LIST. 1873, in its new and
c%ommodious building under more fa-
vorable auspices than eyer before for
maintaining its most important rela-
tions to the profession.
The arrangements for instruction are
admirable. The lecture courses are
well supplemented by unsurpassed con-
v%eniences for practical operations. The
new operating room is atinely equipped
apartment-its large and numerous
windows furnishing such an abundance
of light that the most delicate manipu-
lations can be successfully performed
in any position.
The dental museum of this college,
with its anatomical and pathological
specimens, is unequaled in its import.
ance to the dental student, and exceeds
all others in size and value.
The faculty consists of five profess
ors, who are aided in the operative and
mechanical departments by demonstra
tors. In addition, clinical teachers
have been elected from among the most
eminent practitioners in the country,
while the corps is still further increased
by a number of distinguished gentle
men, who give clinical lectures
throughout the session.
The graduates of this school are ac-
cepted at the Jefferson Medical College
rs second course students.

DOMESTIC.

ANOTHER USE FOR KKROsENR.-We
see IL stated that kerosene oil may be
used TO a good purpose In cases of
chicken cholera. Several persons have
tried this of late, and those who have
not killed have cured their birds-they
say. The administration Of this puugent
and powerful medicinal agent-inter-
nally, we think-should be very care
fully managed. Its nature is akin to
that of the spirits ofturpentine. as every
one is aware. One correspondent writes
that he 'gaye some fowls each a tea
spoonful, when they we're far gone
with chOleratic symptoms, and saved
over half of those that were badly af-
fected," by this means. We incline to
think this a risky operation. A tea
spoonful Of raw kerosene poured down
the gullet of a single sick fowl we
should suppose would shock it so that
its "breath of life" would never be re.
covered again after swallowing such a
dose! However, desperate disease re-
quires desperate remedies sometimes.
Another correspondent states that two
years ago he lost almost all his fowls by
cholera. This year and last season he
soaked the whole grain he gave his
birds in clear unrectified kerosene as
soon. as he discovered any choleratic
indications in his runs, and he has lost
only two or three fowls since. No doubt
that kerosene, when properly used, is
an excellent remedy, in its way. 1t
will kill lice; it will remove the "scaly
leg" parasite; it will destroy offensive
insects, and quickly. But when given
as an internal medicine, we should say a.,
unless it is administered judiciously, it
would kill your fowls also.

ColOring Principle Of WiRes.-The solid
residue deposited from wines in the pro-
cess of fermentation is treated while
still fresh with four or five parts Of
alcohol at 60 deg, and allowed TO ma
cerate for about a fortnight; it is then
filtered under pressure, and the fltrate
distilled in a water bath, so as 10 get rid
of the alcohol; what remains behind is
evaporated under a vacuum, at a
moderate heat, the residue of this last
evaporation, rehltered, forms the ma
tural coloring principle of wines. This
is readily miscible with white or nearly
colOrless wines, imparting a pleasing
natural hue, without introducing any
injurious ingredient.

4 Gentle Hint.

In our style of climate, with its sudden
changes of tempersture-rain, wind and sun
shine often intermingled in a single day-it is
no wonder that our children, friends and rela-
tives are 30 frequently taken from us by ne
elected colds, half the deaths resulting d.
rectly from this cause. A bottle of Boschee's
German Syrup kept about your home for i'm
mediate use will prevent serious sickness, a
large Doctors bill, and perhaps death, by the
use of three or four doses. For curing Con-
sumption, Hemorrhages, Pneumonia, Severe
Coughs, Group or any disease of the Throat
or Lungs, its success is simply wonderful, as
your druggist will tell you. German Syrup is
now sold in every town and village on this
continent. Sample bottles for trial, 10 cents;
regular size, rs cents.
