coop otherwise is not important, further
than it should afford protection from rain
and cold. Chickens know no difference be-
tween palace and hovel, SO long as the
one is as comfortable as the other. Two
wide boards placed together roof fashion,
with tight back and a latticed 'front.' make
as good crop as the royal Brahmas or the
democratic Dominiques desire. Such u
coop boy twelve years old, with me-
in an hour. 1t has the great advantage, be-
sides being cheap, Of easy transportation,
and it is very essential that the location of
the coop be frequently changed, so as to Sc
cure fresh earth and purer air to the Gag
ed bird.
Prevent the chicks from running out too
early in the morning and catching cold in
the wet grass. A board may be placed in
front of the slat-work at night This will
keep the chicks in and the cats and skunks
out.
Avoid all damp, wet and cold localities
for coops. Give the chicks the dryest and
sunniest spot on the farm. Dampness will
engender Group in chicks just as much as it
does in children. Indeed, bring up your
chicks very much after the same fashion
you do your children. Keep them dry,
clean, we'll ted and comfortable every way.
The wants and diseases Of all animals are
very analogous, and 1t is pity that we
have not sooner comprehended the COM
mon pathology that exists between the dis
eases of man and his domestic animals. The
dumb beasts suffer because they are dumb.
If they could speak and tell us what allied
them when they are sick, we should not
stuff them with the vile nostrums from
which they have suffered more than from
their diseases.

THE HOUSEHOLD.

InsolubLe Cement for Botttes.-Soften glue
in cold water and melt it in the water bath
to form very thick paste. TO this add
good glycerine in quantity equal to the dry
glue taken, and continue the heating to ex-
pei as much of the water as possible. This
may be cast on a marble slab to cool, and
melted tor use as required. This is not
soluble in alcoholic liquids.
Shi,ved Eggs-Break six eggs into ba-
sin; add to them one ounce OF fresh butter
and a little pepper and salt; melt one ounce
OF butter in small saucepan, then pour in
the eggs; keep stirring until they are set;
serve on toast. They are also very nice
served with fried bacon.
Poison for Rats and Mice-Carbonate of
baryta has been found to be most efficient
poison tor rats and similar vermin. Indeed,
at special series of trials by the Zootech-
nical Institute, in connection with the Royal
Agricultural college, at Proskaw, this SUBJ
stance was found to be more eficacious than
any other. 1t occurs as heavy white pow
der, devoid of taste or smell. In the Pros
kaW experiments it was mixed With four
times its weight of barley meal. and pellets
of the paste We're introduced into the holes
of the rats, house mice, and field mice. n
small quantity proves fatal. It appears to
cause immediate and complete paralysis of
the hind eXtremities, SO that it may be as
sumed that mice eating it in their holes will
die within them, and SO not prove destruct-
i've in their turn to domesticated animals
that might otherwise devour the carcasses.
1t was found in practice that neither fowls
nor pigeons would touch the paste. either
in its soft state or when hardened by the
sun; so that its employment is probably
free from danger to the occupants of the
poultry yards. Some rabbits, on the other
hand. that got access to the paste ate hearth
~ of it and paid the penalty with their lives.
Next to the carbonate of baryta paste. the
ordinary phosphorus paste proved most de-
strnctive. and this, it was found by expert
ment. is more attractive to the mice in Il soft
form than when hardened into pills. But it
is considerably dearer than the baryta prep
aration, an important factor in the calcua-
tons Of The farmer who has to wage wa..
J against rodents Or an extensive scale.

Southern Russia will supply tar less for ex-

BRAIN AND MUSCLE ON THE FARM.

Many farmers think muscle work is the
main thing on the farm. How: mistaken
they are /! AS the brain controls the action
of the body, so should it control the work
on the farm. There is as much difference
between an intelligent brain and an igno-
rant one as there is between a productive
farm and one in weeds and brambles. Brain
and muscle are both indispensable, but nei-
ther should be exclusively relied upon.
The more the brain is developed, the more
productive will be its capacities, in the same
way that the better the farm is cultivated,
the more it will produce. Hence farmers
should feed, exercise, cultivate and use the
mind. 1t should be trained to think accu-
rately, act promptly, administer, wisely and
execute thoroughly. 1t can be exercised es
protitably on the farm as in amy OF the
learned professions. 1t can command as
much respect and influence in the noble
profession of agriculture as in any other
profession. The want of the times is an in
telligent, influential, self-reliant class of
farmers. Outnumbering all other classes
combined, they are the very tail in the kite
of our republic. Men in other pursuits lead
them when and where and how they choose.
Better cultivated brains and more firmness
and selt-reliance, which would be possessed
in consequence, would give to our agricul-
| tural classes that influence and power in
this free country that they are so justly en-
titled to wield.-Rurat World.
