INGRATurUpE TO TIVE pOCrOn

The doctors who are called up in the mid
die Of the night at the risk of getting the
pneumonia, are just as liable to 60 without
their pay when the danger is past as though
they were called in the daytime. One Of
them was one night aroused by frightful
knocking at his door. Sticking his head out
of the window he asked what was the mat
ter. 80, doctor, it is my poor wife!"

on for q considerable time in this fashion
until the doctor relented, in spite of the cold

Feeding Poultry in NyInter.

With care and judicious system Of feed
ing, poultry will continue to produce eggs
long iuto the winter, but after the flush OF
harvest is over, the fowls, unless well at
tended, stop at the end Of autumn, or at the
first change of cold weather, just as the egg
begin to get scarce and prices increase. Now
commences the critical moment, and the
poultry maids assiduity should therefore be
equal to the occasion, and it is during the
coming months that the real test ofher dill
gence will be furnished by the number Of
eggs produced on to Christmas, for it is pos
Sible to keep fowls in full laying condition
for more than eight months in the year.
Fowls producing eggs during the spring
and summer will commence to coat their
feathers, and the plumage assumes a less
tidy appearance than formerly. This coat
ing is renewal of covering on the approach
of wiGteF. amt warm feeding will do much
to accelerate it and keep up the birds con-
stitutional powers in advance of winter
For this purpose no better feeding can be
given than onions, chopped meat, meal
bread crumbs and kitchen scrapings Of var
ious kinds, OF onions, as a preventive and
remedy for nearly all the diseases to which
domestic fowls are liable, too much cannot
be said or written. Some poultry fancier;
prefer giving them by themselves, and a:
much as the fowls will cat up clean, partic'
ularly when they have been living under
wrong conditions, in which case they act a,
medicine. But as fowls, when not brco
too closely and not kept from their natura
liberty, are remarkably healthy, this treat
ment is very general, and used only whel
cooping is resorted to COR want Of area
Cleanliness is important Cor promoting tn

Dry Earth as bedding for Stock.

There is nothing more useful in promot-
ing the health and comfort of stock during
the winter season. when animals have to be
housed and fed, than dry earth While il is
the most abundant, cheapest and easily ac-
quired Of all absorbents and dsinfcctaats, it
is almost entirely neglected. Straw makes
a very imperfect bedding. 1t serves no pur-
pose whatever, as an absorbent, and only
indeiierently well for keeping the animals
clean Farmers who have comfortable barns
and stables for their stock should, during
the dry season in the fall, and before freez-
ing commences, gather from roads and any
sources Of supply that are convenient, and
store uAder cover, enough pulyerized, and
dry earth to keep the stalls and sleeping
apartments of their stock well supplied
through the winter. \ good bed of dry
earth is far more comfortable for hogs thar
one Of straw, but both should be used. Fo

sheltered and fed, clean and sweet, fine dr.,

REPUBLICANS OUT IN THE COLD

A meeting of the contesting organization of the
Eighth Assembly District Republican Association
held last night at No. 10s Allen street. This
ganization, numbering about four hundred and fifty
members, claims to be part of the regular orgauiza-
ton They admitted to it and voted last at the
primaries in 1876, and say they have received
notice Of expulsion. In 1877 the election for officers
as they claim. WIS carried by fraud, and Robert G.
McCord elected president OF the district associa
ton. In 1878 the adherAnts of McCord sent postal
cards to their friends giving notice of the
election to take place on the 10th of December in the
rooms of the John j. OIrien Club with the words
"Please present this notice at the door" printed
them For greater security these cards stamped
with the seal OF the Fourth District Court, over
which Judge Dinckel presided and i'll which Mr.. Mo
Cord was an officer. No one was admitted without q
card OF this kind and the election was consequently
carried by the friends OF McCord, who reelected
president. The meeting last night held to pro-
test against these proceedings and to appeal to the

Without detailing Mt length the Inconvenience to

of my Office has been obstructed by your committee
and its agents, will contne myself to reference to
the visit of young lawyer and the interview which
took place between US. He came TO examine the

been asked by one OF your committee to come here
aud find out il l kept any such book books,
and il l did not to make an affidavit to that
effect. He agreed TO come. but refused to make
any affidavit on the subject He claimed to
be particular friend OF the committee He
informed me that he was at church on Sunday last,
and there met one Of the said committee men; the
latter then and there urged him TO come and examine
my records. and look into my fee books and find out
all he could to my deriment. The gentleman,
perhaps scandazed by such proposals in the house
of prayer. asked his petitioner .-"What good am
to get out of this What does il concern me about

Gumtleton,'' the significant reply "there will
be quite an amount of patronage to distribute.
The gentleman examined some of my records and
left the Office expressing himself perfectly satisfied
Sir, commend little investigation nearer home.
The moral atmosphere of the Bar Association should
be cleared of all patronage hunters. In conclusion
permit me to say. through you, to the Bar Associa

against me before the Governor l say this not for

VETERINARY SURGEONS.

LATIoN AT ALBANY--PRoFEssroNA oBJEc-
TONS TO THE PROPOSED MEASURE.
meeting Of veterinary surgeons was held last
evening at the corner of Broadway and Tifty-thrd
street. for the purpose OF hearing explanation and
taking action in regard to legislation at Albany
affecting veterinary interests. Among the promi-
nent "vets" present Professor G. j. Smith, Pro-
fessor Going. DIR. Finlay. DIR. J. d. Going.
DIR. Ogle, DR.. Dclisser. DIR. Wilson and Dr.
Heard, besides n delegation from Harlem
and Brooklyn. Professor Going made
chairman. and said that bill had been presented to
the Legislature which he considered distastcful to
the profession. He read the sections of the BILL and
commenting upon them, said that the various provi-
sions had more or less of an obnoxious feature in
them. Three veterinaries and two medical doctors
are to be appointed by the Governor The objection
TO this is that the bill states they must be gra-
duates of veterinary college university

Why not appoint veterinaries from other
