Whst Might Have Reen Heard.
Almost any day during the Centennial, knot Of
physicians might have been seen gathered around
the elegant glass case, standing in the Main build
ing, in which Benson's Capcine Porous Plaster
was exhibited, discussing its merits and superior
ity over other porous plasters, and the listener
might have heard words of warm praise fall from
their lips as they spoke of the revolution it would
likely effect in remedies for diseases treated ex-
ternaly, such rs rheumatism, lame and weak
back spinal and kidney diseases sciatica, lumba-
go, sprains and bruises, and all aches and pains OF
a local nature With these opinions the Centcn.

It is only sixteen feet square, ten feet
posts, ridge of roof seven feet higher
than the plates; and then Slated ven
tilater of three feet still higher on the
ridge windows with Venetian bIindes
inside of the house for more air when
wanted. 1t is match boarded up and
down, with a single roof. On the
south side are two windows, each feur
by eight feet, thus making eight feet
square of glass. The windows come
down to within eighteen inches of the
ground. They are covered inside with
coarse wire netting to prevent the fowls
flying against the glass and breaking it.
Outside are two doors of same size as
the windows. One door and window
shoves in the right. the other to the left.
Thus, when it is cold weather, the doors
are showed open by day and the windows
closed, which, letting in the sun all day,
makes the house quite warm, and pro-
notes laying on the part of the hens; if
moderately warm, both windows and
doors are kept open all day. The doors
are closed and locked at night to keep
out thieves.
A moderately sized yard is on the
south side, with tight board fence,
seven feet high all round. This lets in
the sun, but keep off the wind, thus
making an admirable shelter in the
winter. A door opens from this yard on
TO grass field, where the poultry is
permitted to wander at will in pleasant
weather. A door, three feet by seven,
is on the east side for the entry of PER-
sons. The only distinguishing merit OF
: this poultry-house is that the roof is so
high, with an ample ventilator on the
top, that it keeps the air pure within
even when stocked with fifty hens. All
animals want plenty Of pure fresh air.
and if, besides this, you give them
proper food, drink and exercise, you will
rarely have disease.

c,,inn Clover Hay.

Nv plau Is to start the mower at two
or three O'Clock in the afternoon after
all water has evaporated. AID the heat OF
the day is past. Rain or dew will MAKE
clover hay black it is cured before It
1.-THE rain or dew) falls upon it, By cut
ting in the after-part of the day the
cover does not cure enough to damage,
and as dew is only on the top of the hay
it soon dries of. Clover don't want
much sun; if it gets too much the leaves
rattle of, and you have stems by ten
o'clock start TIE rake, and by two or
three O'Clock set the men to putting 1t
ND into cocks. Don't let it stand two or
three days, but turn it out the next day
if the weather is good, and haul it in.
1t only wants to remain in the cock long
enough to get hot, and when it is opened
and aired it is really to be housed, APP
ply little salt while unloading, say SOW
as you would grain, about twice over
the stack or NOW, while the load is being
being taken of. Don't get worried if it
heats some after it is put away; it will
come out bright and sweet in the spring.
Stock prefer well cured clover hay to the
best gilt-edged timothy, and it ought to
be the best judge in such matters. Poor
clover is the worst of feed. The great
secret in making good clover hay is to
keep it free from moisture except its
Own--while mold don't damage it much.

A Famine Incident.

Incident OF the recent famine in India:
a murder case has been tried at Mysore.
where the prisoners were a number Of
tamiAe-stricken boys who murdered a
companion The whole of the bows were
in the habit of going about the streets
and picking up the leaves with the refuse
OF food that were thrown out of the
houses ofnatives, and eating the refuse.
The deceased being the biggest boy of the
lot always came in for the lions share.
The others thereupon held a consultation
and decided that he should be put to
death, and they formed plan for putting
their decision into execution. Thew
asked the big boy to come for a walk
beyond the fort walls; then they took
him to the trench, threw big stone on
him, and cut him up with knife. which
they afterwards hid in a garden. The
boy murderers were sentenced to ten
years rigorous imprisonment.

Co. Operative Farming

The bishop of Manchester lately made
q speech at the cooperative congress
in England, recommending co Operative
farming. He gave an account of CO
operative farm near Assingten, which be
visited in 1867, after it had been in opera
ton for thirty-seven years. It was
started by John Gurdon, the squire of
the village, in 1880 He rented to fifteen
men sixty acres at 50 an acre per annum,
and lent them 1000 for tools, stock, ma
nuie, etc. In 1867 they had long pre-
viously paid the loan had increased
their shareholders from fifteen TO twenty,
ana the amount of hired land from sixty
To one hundred and thirty acres, for
which they paid 81 900 a year. The
farm was managed by a committee of
reur, chosen by ballot, a portion going
OUT every year. The bishop found the
lana in admirable order, and the animals
and poultry in excellent condition. In
1854 Mr.. Gurdon, finding the experiment
very successful, started thirty chosen
men on a second cooperative farm; each
contributing $3.50. He also loaned
them $4,000. They began with seventy
acres, but by 1867 were hiring 212 AT a
rent of s1,625 year, and had $4,000
worth of stock, besides having paid off
the &, 600 loan and supported their fami-
lies. The bishop thought that class of
cooperative agriculturists would be a
most important and staple element in the
commonwealth, and the earl of Ripon,
in q subsequent speech, said that he had
also visited the farms and fully agreed
with him.
