Cayenne Pepper for Chickens.

EVERY person raising birds knows
that it is important for their health
and prosperity to furnish them with
red pepper. 1t is said to be highly
beneficial for all of the feathered tribe.
And the red peppers raised in our gar
dens are far preferable for this pur-
pose to the counterfeit cayenne which
is bought in the stores. The ground
red pepper is too often adulterated with
Spanish brown and red lead, which
are poisonous to birds, as well as all
other bipeds. Red pepper is not only
a preventive of disease, but promotes
growth and egg production. Acting as
a tonic on the system it keeps the birds
in q healthy condition, without which
there cannot reasonably be expected
large proceeds. The proper way to
administer the tonic is in liquid form,
and this is done through the drink.
Pepper is highly beneficial through the
months of September and October, or
during moulting season, as it not only
increases the growth of feathers, but
gives warmth and tone to the blood,
and fed with good nutritious food
assists in keeping up the strength of
the bird. This is highly necessary at
this period, for it is the most delicate
one in the existence of the fowl. All
medicines, however, should be given
in reasonable quantities. as OVERRIDING
amounts to the same thing as under
doing. Take about three pods of
ripened red pepper, bruise them slight
ly, and pour on nearly pint of boiling
water. This quantity will season a
gallon of drink, which may be reflled
daily, or as the fowls consume it, and
will continue sufficient strength for a
week for a moderate sized flock, say
twenty or twenty-five birds of the small
breeds. Fowls consume large guam
tity of drink, and after once accustom-
ed to it rather relish the pungent fla

Making a Corn Crop.

In the West everything on and about
the farm, that possibly can be, is per-
formed by or with the aid of machinery.
1t has been said, and with truth, that
the farmer may now ride and do near
ly all the work of the farm. Had it not
been for this labor-saving machinery,
the West would not now produce one
half that it does, and yet in some re-
spects our farm machinery is not what
it ought to be. 1t enables a man to
run over a largely-increased area, but
at the same time it has diminished the
yield per acre. This is especially true
in the cultivation of corn. When the
season is Just right everything goes on
smoothly; but not one year in ten is
the season just right for good corn
crop, entirely machine-raised. When
it is not, we have weedy, cloddy fields,
and baking surfaces, which often are
most serious drawbacks to succeeding
crops. This of late late years has
given a great impetus to draining, a
necessity long felt and earnestly advo
Gated.
There are many of our best farmers
who believe that crop of corn may be
raised more economically hand-plant-
ed, and once hoed by hand, than is ac-
complished with the average corn
planter and straddle-row cultivator.
Let us look for moment at the work
of the corn-planters and the principle
upon which many of them work. A
groove is made in the earth, the seed
is dropped therein, and the wheels fol-
lowing press the whole solid. If the
soil is somewhat wet the corn might
almost as wei lie in its grave. If the
season is all right, that is if the weather
continues moist and warm, the seed
may pierce through to the surface. II
dry weather then succeeds, the surface
is baked hard about the growing corn.
II rains and somewhat cold weather
succeeds the planting the seed rots, or
comes up so weak that its subsequent
growth is slow and feeble. Meantime
The weeds are growing in the endeavur

EVERYONE has read of the tulip
mania which fourished in Holland
from 1884 to 1887. Immense prices
were paid for single bulbs, and this
statement is corroborated by the fact
that two houses, ABOUT twenty miles
from Amsterdam. are offered for sale
which were purchased with the pro-
ceeds of the sale of three tulip bulbs.
The record of this remarkable pur-
chase is preserved in a stone inserted
in the gas,l. of one of the houses.

from their Writer quarters early in the

least six months. The crews number
about thirty-tive men, force sufficient
to man four or five boats. The num-

Symptoms of aDiseasedLiver

DAIN in the right side, under the
l edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are costiVe, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of mem
ory, accompanied with a painful sen
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, vet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
