Remedy for Milk Fever.

DIR. ROBERT JENNINGS, the roted
Veterinary Surgeon, author of Cattle
and Their Diseases" etc., gives some
valuable suggestions about milk fever
in cows: at is well known that this
disease usually attacks the best COWS,
and is too often fatal on account of
improper treatment. Do not, under
any circumstances, purge or bleed your
animals if you would have them live.
We advise the following remedies,
which can be obtained in any drug
store-by proper use and nursing you
will save two animals where you now
save one: Sulphate of magnesia, one
pound; Jamaica ginger, pulverized, two
ounces; mix well and divide into six
powders, one to be given three times a
day, dissolved in half pint of tepid
water, alternating every six hours with
one of the following powders: Chloride
of potassa, one ounce; digitalis folio.
pulverized, one-half ounce, tartaric an
timony, one-half ounce; mix and divide
into six powders. Place the COW in a
large, well-ventilated box stall, well
supplied with clean, dry straw and kept
clean. If the weather is cold protect
her with warm clothing. The milk
should be frequently drawn off, and,
when unable to rise. she should be
turned occasionally, which will afford
her temporary relief"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1880-07-17

periods of protracted drought, alternat-
ing with heavy rain-falls, occasioning
floods, are alarmingly on the increase,
and an earnest appeal is addressed to
the patriotism and public spirit of Span
iards to concert measures for rescuing
the country from such perils.
Just before this frightful disaster,
Hungary was visited by one of a similar
character, attributable to like cause,
and attendedwith correspondingly de-
plorable sacrifice of human life and
valuable property. The county town
Szegedin, place containing .nearly
forty thousand inhabitants, was swept
away in few hours, and the swollen
waters of the Thesis, augmented to the
proportions of lake, overwhelmed a
busy and prosperous community by a
general ruin. The Thesis rises in the
Carpathians, and in those mountains, as
elsewhere, the hand of the spoiler has
been at work; the forests have been
felled, without any systematic attempt
at replantation, and outraged nature
visits upon the heads of the malefactors
the righteous retribution of their shame
full rapine.-Hdrper'S Weeklu.

Sanitary Sleeping.

DIR. b. w. RICHARDSON protests
against the double bed. He maintains
that the system of having beds in which
two persons can sleep is always to some
extent unhealthful. Each little child,
even, should have its own little bed. No
two children are constituted SO as to re-
quire the same kind of bed clothing and
he same kind of bedding. "No chill
dren or persons can sleep under the
same covering without one being the
cause of some discomfort to the other,
by movement, position or drag of cloth
ing. Beyond these discomforts, how
ever, there is the question of emana-
tions from the breath. At some time or
other the breath of one of the slcepers
must, in some degree, affect the other;
the breath is heavy, disagreeable; it
may be so intolerable that in waking
hours, when the senses are alive to it, It
would be sickening soon after a short
exposure to it. Here in bed, with the
senses locked up, the disagreeable odor
may not be realized; but assuredly, be-
cause it is not detected, it is not less in
furious. Moreover, under the sinole
bed system it is rendered impossible Ia
place very old and very young people 10
sleep together. To the young this is a
positive blessing, for there is no prac-
ice more deleterious to them lhan 10
sleep with the aged. The vital wa, nth
that is so essential for their growth and
development is robbed from them by
nc aged, and they are enfeebled at >
time when they are least able to bear
the enfeeblement.

AN old farmer in the New York Trib-
"7ae says: "a dairyman, speaking lately
OF the very best kind of hay for feeding
his cows curing the winter, places the m
according to their value in the follow
ing order: Red clover rowen, clover
hay, fine English hay, herd sgrass. These
should be cut as soon as the earliest
heads begin to blossom. l wonder he
does not mention timothy and orchard
grass; for if sowed thick and cut Just
before Towering they make excellent
hay for mich COWS as well as sheep.
BY herd sgrass suppose redtop is meant,
as it bears the former name in some To-
calitics. But there are two other grasses
better than either of the above to pro-
duce choice butter and to fatten stock
rapidly, and these are June or blue grass
and white clover. The late Mr.. Cliff,
one of the best farmers in Putnam
County, Rev York, paid particular at
tention to these two latter grasses for
hay, considering that their mixture half
and half, making up ton of hay, was
worth for butter and to fatten animals
thrice that of most other hay; and al
though these did not produce over a
third as great a weight per acre as tim
othy, still they were the most profitable
to grow on suitable lands, and there
were the additional considerations of
less storage-room required and less la
Dor in handling.

Economy OF Strength.


ECONOMY of strength is quite as i'm
portant as economy of time. There are
many housekeepers who, if they work
moderately, can keep upon their feet
nearly all day, while if they were to
hurry, they would be completely tired
out in an hour. Those who are FORUM
ate enough to possess the strength and
health with which our grandmothers
were blest, can do their homework as
they please-if they choose to loiter all
day, they can easily do two days. work
the next while their weaker sisters
must keep their work from getting be-
hind-hand. A little mental work will
aid wonderfully, if rightly applied.
Suppose that instead of going ''down
cellar" six separate times while prepar-
ing dinner, one should use little fore
thought, and while getting the meat do
all things possiblep The butter can be
placed on the plate and the cream
turned into the pitcher; little hands and
feet can be taught to do safely and care
fully many errands that would greatly
relieve weary mothers. If there are no
little ones to aid, large platter or even
the dish-pan can be used to good adj
vantage in carrying different things
from the cellar. 1t is even very tire
some to be obliged to do much work
after tea. So let the meat be cut and
the potatoes brought in and perhaps
pared during the intervals of preparing
the meal. Let the basins and saucers
that are soiled be Immediately washed,
and one will be relieved from an i'm
mense pan of dishes after supper. The
same may be said of going up stairs, for
passing back and forth, even over the
easiest steps, is very tiresome, and one
will be well repaid for economy.
Sometimes in the midst of homework
one will be seized with sudden fit of
trembling, headache, or an unac-
countable WEAKNESS of the limbs. One
knows that sitting or lying down for
half an hour will relieve, but because
the sweeping is not done, or possibly the
dishes, thinks it must not be. / deem it
purest folly to spend ten or twelve hours
in pain and WEAKNESS, when one-twen-
tieth that time spent in rest would pre-
vent it. | do not call it Incidence if
one spends two forenoons at ironing,
taking frequent rests, in which most or
all the mending can be done. Neither
do think it wrong if the washing is not
always done on Monday. do not wish
to advocate laziness, but should like to
tell every wife that 10 is due her hus-
band and family that she make the best
possible use of her strength-that it is
not advisable to use it carelessly, for
real comfort need not be sacrificed,
though system and order may be slight
ly dethroned.-Cor Country Gentleman.

Seating CrOw''-Origin of the Phrase.

INQUIRIES are made as to the origin of
seating crow" as used in modern poll
tics. The first allusion to eating
crown was made in the Kntckerbocker
Magagine, little more than quarter
of a century ago. 1t was story of a
summer boarding house-keeper on the
Hudson, and of an indignant patron.
Whenever the latter ventured to sug-
gest that the spring chicken was rather
tough, or that the roast beef must have
been cut from the cows hoofs, he was
directly told that he was entirely 'stoo
partickerler," and that the autocrat of
the table and the house could eat any
thing, even a crow. This settled the
matter for the time being, but the
boarder convinced against his will was
of the same opinion still, at all events in
regard to the quality of edibles placed
before him. So often was the remark,
81 kin eat anything; l kin eat crow"
brought down on his devoted head, that
he finally resolved to try the old man.
He went out cunning one day, and sue
ceeded in bagging a very fine, fat old
back crow. He went into the kitchen,
and by dint of soft words and filthy
lucre, induced the cook to allow him to
prepare the crow for the table. He
boiled it nicely, and it wasn't such
bad looking dish after all. His heart
misgave him; the finty old cuss would
eat it after all. The cook was Scotch
woman and used snuff. He borrowed
all she had and sprinkled it literally
over the crow, gave her another sim
mer, and then taking it on salver
brought it before his host, saying as he
set it down, CHOW, my dear sir, you
have said a thousand times, if you have
said it once, that you can eat crow.
Here is one very carefully cooked" 1t
is said that the old man turned pale for
a moment, but braced himself against
the back of his chair, and with 'I kin
eat crow" he began, cutting a good
mouthful. He swallowed it, and then
preparing fer second onslaught, he
looked his boarder straight in the eye,
while he calculated, sI've eaten crow, -
and took his second portion. He lifted
his hands mechanically, as if for third
onslaught, but dropped them quickly
over the region of his stomach, and,
rising hurriedly and unsteadily, retreat
ed for the door, muttering as he went,
"but dang me if l banker arter it,"

SIGNoR BELLACHINI, the renowned
German prestidigitateur, one morning
recently visited the Emperor William,
with whom he is a great favorite, at his
study overlooking the Linden avenue,
and asked to be appointed "Royal
Court Artist" 81 will do it, Bellachini,

clever trick, worthy of the favor you
ask" replied the Emperor. Bellachini
Immediately took up pen, and hand
ing it with some paper on the table to
the Emperor, requested him to write,
'.Bellachini can do nothing at ALL"
Neither pen nor ink would perform its
functions. "Now then, sir, will you
try with the same to write, "Bellachini
is the Emperor's Court ArtistP'" The
second attempt was as successful as the
first had been contrary, and Bellachini
was at once, under the Emperor's own
hand, made "Royal Court Artist"

THERE was wild scene at a Jersey

THERE was wild scene at "a jersey
church the other Sunday. A sensation
al preacher had given out that he would
talk on 1.-The Lessons of the Narragan-
sett Slaughter. There was a large
congregation whom the preacher did
his best to delight with horrors. He
got along swimmingly until he cried
"there never was greater set of cow
ards than the officers and crew of the
Narragansett proved themselves to be
on that occasion" This sentiment was
too much for one of the audience, who
rose in his seat and roared: "That is a
lie, and you are liar" 1t was the
Captain of the Narragansett who thus
spoke, and for that freedom of speech
he was carried off to police station,
but was discharged after hearing of
the case.

Feeding Sour Milk to Cows.

SOME maintain that feeding sour milk
to cows affects their butter injuriously;
but we never made sweeter or nicer
butter than we have been turning out
this spring when feeding sour milk to
the COWS from whose milk it was made.
Last spring we did not feed it; but
gave each sixteen pounds of hay and
three quarts of oats and corn--cob
taken out ground together, and then
the average yield of milk per COW
was from thirteen to fourteen pounds
per day. This spring we have been
feeding the same amount of hay, two
quarts of oats and corn ground togeth-
er- cob again taken out-two quarts
of wheat bran and the sour milk from
the herd, and the average yield of each
per day has been from twenty. one to
TWENTY-FIVE pounds of milk-an in
crease of over one-third. The cows
are the same as last spring, with the
addition of two others-one COW we
bought and which is thought no better
than the rest, and the other two-year-
old heifer which gives from twenty five
to twenty-seven pounds of milk per day
now. don't expect the feeding OF
sour milk will make so much difference
during the latter part of May, June and
July, but, after that, expect as great
a difference as now. 1t is estimated
that by using sour milk in this way,
one COW more can be kept for every ten
in the herd; but on this point l cannot
speak definitely. We take our milk to
creamery, SO there is no guess-work
with regard to the weight.-G. B..
Nichols, IN Rural Nea0 Yorker.
