How 10 MAKE cows Give Mrl.s.

A writer in the Southern Fa1mer says
that his cow gives all the milk that is
wanted in a family of eight, and that
from it, after taking ali that is required
for other purposes, 260 pounds of butter
were made this year. This is in part his
treatment Of the COW:
I'll you desire to get large yield of
rich milk, give your COW every day water
slightly sailed, in which bran has been
stirred at the rate OF one quart TO two
gallons of water. You viii find, if YOU
have not tried this daily practice, that
your COW will give twenty five per cent
more milk Immediately under the effect
OF 1t, and she will become SO attached to
the diet as to refuse to drink clear water
unless very thirsty. But this mess she
will drink almost any time, and ask for
more. The amount of this drink neces-
sary is an ordinary water pailful at a
time, morning, noon and night"

Poultry Notes.

The small breeds of fowls are the most
profitable layers.
Teach your hens to break eggs and eat
them by throwing shells to them when
ever opportunity offers. This is good
way to do it.
a poultry fancier has found that lice will
NOT venture near sitting hen in whoss nest
two or three tobacco leaves have been
placed.
A Writer IN the Poult7g World arones
that there is no foundation for tha tbeorv
that one breed of domestic fowl is more
tender and juicy than another; any fowl
oadly TED or cared for Is necessarily poor.
"stlngy and unpatable, but, other
things equal, no difference can be discoy-
cred IN the taste of the flesh of the vari-
ours breeds.
An Old turkey-raiser gives the follow
ing experiment: -Four turkeys were con-
tined In pen, and fed on meal. boiled
potatoes and oats. -Four Others of the
same brood, were also at the same time
confined IN another pen, and fed daily
ON the same articles, but with one mini
OF very finely pulverized charcoal mixed
with their tood-mixed meal and boiled
potatoes They had also a plentiful sup
ply OF broken charcoal in their pen. Tie
eight were killed on the same day, and
there was difference of one and a half
pounds each in favor of the fowls which
had been supplied with charcoal, thew
being much the latest and the meat
greatly superior in point of tenderness
and flavor.

Watch them, and when you find out

To aree uo"s from Lice

J. G. L. B., Ulster county, n Y, asks:
"What will Kill lice on hogs?'
Reply Give the hogs half an ounce
OF sulphur daily in their food until they
smell strongly Of it through the skin,
which will be in ten days or thereabout.
In the meantime, prepare a mixture of
lard, four parts, glycerine. two parts, and
kerosene oil, two parts. Rub this upon
the brisket, the armpits, and beneath the
thighs of the animals, and anywhere else
the vermln may be found. When the
smell of the sulphur comes through the
skin, all the Ice that have not been killed
by the grease will leave at once To pre-
vent their return, keep an earthen floor
IN the pen, or bed the hogs with fresh
earth six inches deep, renewing it occa-
sionally, and once a week throw over this
quart of water in which one ounce OF
carbOlic acid has been dissolved.

Waterloo, Napoleon, and Some Strange
Opinions.


1t is with amazement that we read how
Robert Hall mourned for Waterloo as
having put back the clock OF the world
six degrees" George Ticknor, who land
ed at Liverpool, visiting Europe for the
first time a few weeks after the flight from
Elba has left record of the impression
made upon him by the language of his
Wing friends. Ticknor, Federallst of
Washington's school, had never doubted
that England was in the right in her he
roic resistance to the great despot.
"When Napoleon" he wrote, twas re-
Jected from France. every man III Christ
endom OF honest principles and feelings
felt as ifa weight of danger had been
lifted from his prospects, as if he had a
surer hope of going down to his grave in
peace and leaving an inheritance to his
children. But now the whole complex
ion OF the world is changed again" He
was amazed to find that Englishmen were
not at one: S'Mr. Roscoe, mild and phil
osophical in his whole character, was OPP
posed to the war, and at q dinner at AL
ierten gave the usual Whig argument
against it in manner that very much
surprised me-" On his way to London
shortly afterward Ticknor visited DR.. Parr,
who said in his dogmatic way:
Sir, | should not think | had done
my duty if went to bed any night with
our praying for the success of Napoleon
Bonapart.n If the young American had
known anything of Parr, he would not
have been astonished at this outburst of
unpatriotic spleen. In the previous year,
when Wellington was driving Soult be-
fore him in the South, and the allies
were closing around Paris in spite of the
brilliant strategy of Napoleon, the Wing
divine had written to Mr. Coke, of Holk-
ham: "My Indignation at the English
Government as the + al ard implacable
disturbers of the peace of Europe in
creases daily and hourly; and from that
malignant spirit which began to act in
1893, and is now reinforced by the ac-
cession of such an auxiliary as the Prince
Regent, | forebode the most disastrous
consequences. My fear is that the allies
will be oYerruled by the earnestncss or
cajoled by the brides of the Prince Re-
gent and his minions." A month after
his visit to Parr, Ticknor was in company
with very different man, but also ga
Wing and something more'' Lord By
ron was conversing with him, when Sir.
James Burgess rushed into the room ex-
claiming: "My Lord, great battle has
been fought in the Low Countries, and
Bonaparte is entirely defeated!'' After
receiving an assurance that the intelli.
gence was official, and that the French
Army was retreating on Paris. Byron
paused and said, with his accustomed
emphasis, II am sorry for itr After
another pause he continued, Il didn't
know but l might live to see Lord Castle
lereagh's head on a pole. But I sup
pose shan't now" The same thought
in almost the same words will be found
in the extracts of Byron's journal printed
in Moore's Life.-1he Nineteenth Century.

Cooked 1Eeats for Eow,s.

Fowls, as we'll as dogs, become quar-
reisome if fed on raw meat. Besides
cooking makes it more nutritious. When
raw it is rather harsh and crude, COM
pared with the mild natural diet of worms
and grubs, which are for the most part
soft, and easily dissolved by digestion.
Occasionally, for variety, little meat
may be given raw. Fish, when plenty,
is more conveintly given boiled, because
in that state the fowls easily pick every
morsel from the bones, and no mincing
is required. Chambers scraps have the
advantage Of being already cooked, and
on that account, as well as many others,
they are excellent----The Poultry World.
