Music in Half an Hour.

Not long ago a burly countryman,
standing six feet in his hobnails, called
at the house of a teacher Of music. In
answer to his rather powerful knock,
the door was opened and his business
inquired into.
81 see by this here brass thing that
the lady teaches music" he said, in a
tone which implied some doubt on the
subject.
He was told his surmlses were beyond
question.
"Then what l want is just to take a
few lessons on the piano." he replied;
but, fearful of hastily committing him
self to a commercial speculation, he
added, cautiously:
"Is she dear In her charges?"
lie was referred for information to
the lady herself, and was requested to
wait while his object was reported.
"Stop a Bit" he said, with evident
mistrust of his resources; "you see it
is just this: | sings in the choir at our
church, and | don't know no music
like the rest of 'em; but | be come
down for n training in the militia, and
thought MS how I'd have half n hour

know as much as t'others when | get

"You don't expect to learn the
piano in half an hour, do your" ex-
claimed the servant who had answered
the door. "Why, the young ladies
who come here are playing from morn

eyes.

GAME BIRDs.-Fine game birds are
always heavy for their size; the flesh
of the breast is firm and plump, and
the skin clear; and il a few feathers be
plucked from the inside of the leg and
around the vent, the flesh of freshly
killed birds will be fat and fresh-cOlOred ;
if 1t is dark and discolored, the game
has been hung a long time. The wings
of good ducks, geese, p%heasants and
woodcock are tender to the touch; the
tips of the long wing-feathers of par
tridges are pointed in young birds and
round in old ones. Quail, snipe, and
small birds should have full, tender
breasts.

SCRoFULA IN Lows.-In the advanced
state of this disease, treatment of any
kind will be entirely useless. The dis
ease, like consumption in man, is in
variably fatal. But its most serious
feature is the considerable period that
often elapses before the result is reached,
and during which the animal becomes
lass valuable. Milk from such a COW is
apt to produce phthisis or consumption
in man and l would be suicidal to con-
sumo it, knowing it to come from such
an animal.

AGRICULTURE.

FEEDING IN CoLb Whether
IL Is due to carelessness or TO a want of
knowledge Of the requirements of the
fow's we Cannot say, but many who
keen and breed fowls adhere TO the old
time practice Of feeding corn, corn and
nothing else, winter and summer, and
then expect their fowls 70 do well, 10
lay plenty of eggs and TO keep In good
health. They may, and no doubt will
get fat on such food, when given In lib
eral quantities, hut then that is not all
that is required, In summer fowls re-
quire food which will not cause a pro-
ductiOn of much fat, while In winter
they require food of a more heating ma
ture to successfully resist the cold, al
though ii should be given not too liber-
ally, or else they will become too fat;
and the food should be changed at regu-
lar intervals to obtain the best results.
During the winter months Ii will be
found to be q good plan to warm the
grain and other food before feeding IL,
and not leaving the fowls run out in the
morn before the weather has become
warm. This latter is very necessary
with Leghorns and other large cOmbed
birds. A supply of meat scraps, or a
mush made of corn meal with a fair
proportion of finely chopped meat,
should be given during the winter, to
supply the absence Of bugs, worms and
hoppers, which the summer affords.

are ruined for culinary use. The freez-
ing of parsnips and satisfy IN the soil
where they grow has the effect TO con-
vert an additional portion of their SUBJ
stance into sugar, but those vegetables
are rendered better for cooking. So
also a certain amount of frost increases
the solid matter of some plants, cabbage
for instance, and also increases their
sacharine. Again, beets and carrots, as
the weather becomes cold, or after frosty
nights set in, largely increase in nutri-
mcnt, and especially in suga-. If these
facts are borne in mind ii will help the
farmer greatly in knowing the proper
time to gather root crops. Potatoes
must not be chilled at all. Beets are
injured by actual freezing. Thus varie-
ties which grow partially out of the
ground should be gathered before they
are liable to be frozen; those varieties,
the bulbs of which grow under the sur
lace, may be left longer; carrots longer
still. Cabbages, turnips and rutabagas
continue to mature through freezing
nights and warm days, and parsnips
and satisfy are not injured, but on the
other hand are better for being frozen
while in the soil.
