Disease Among Poultry

S. F. Larkin, of Aston, this county, wri-
ting to the Germantown Telegraph, says a
disease has made its appearance among the
chanticleer family of that neighborhood,
that is entirely new in its effects. The symp.
toms are similar to those appearing in horses
laboring under what is called "epizooty" "
The disease runs its course in few days,
and has not proven fatal in any case where
no remedy was attempted. Mr.. Larkn in
experimenting upon remedy says: But a
little 'quacking,' however, among our own
fowls bore the fruit of two deaths. To the
first sick hen, two small pills of cayenne,
made up with apple jelly and wheten tail
ings was given and she recovered To an
other was given three of the same pills aud
she died the next day. To the third hen
vas recommended the heroic remedy oc u
teaspoonful of black pepper in lard, which
laid her out in two minutes! BY this time
hen-doctoring became rather unpopular
and we allowed nature to practice on the re-
mainder, and they all got wel-a tolerably
fair sample of medical practice smoug
quscks." Mr.. L. calls the disease "entozOo-
ty," and attributes the cause TO parisite.-

II you want to make a certain Virginia
City merchant real mad ask lin if he has a
gravel mine to sell. He gpt TO playing po-
ker one day and won 5000, but he took in
payment an undeveloped gravel mine. His
friends teased him terribly about the alleged
worthless property, and at last, getting a lit
tie excited, he told them that before he got
through with that mine they would see that
he was not such fool as they took him for
Then he wrote to some rich acquaintance
that he had splendid claim, which, being
hard up, he would sell cheap for $1,000
Then he bought $500 worth of gold dust and
nuggets, and salted the claim thoroughly
with them. The capitalists came, prospect
ed little, bought it Immediately, and paid
him his $4,000 cash. In three weeks they
got out $4,000 worth Of ore, That Virginia
City man didn't smile fora month.

How they Get Coffee in Cincinnati.

One of the latest tricks played upon shop
keepers was successfully performed at a
Cincinnati grocery the other evening. A
woman entered and ordered a pound of the
best coffee. She carried a jar under her
arm, and when the groceryman was about
to pour the coffee into a paper bag the GUS
toner told her to pour into the jar instead.
The man did so, the female leaning over Il c
counter and still holding the jar under her
arm, with the bottom of the vessel concealed
When she had received the coffee the female
put her hand into her pocket, and with a
well ieigned expression of annoyance, cried:
81 do declare have left my purse at homt!
I'll just set the jar Of coffee down on the
counter here while | run in and get the
money She placed the jar on the counter
and went out, but she failed to return, and
when the storekeeper picked up the jar he
was surprised to fud that it did not contain
any coffee, and that the bottom had been
knocked out. 1t then flashed upon his mind
that when he poured the coffee in the jar i
ran through into bag concealed by the fe
male sharper.

j. ID. Gilbert, of Elkhsrt, ILL.,, who exhib-
tied the fat prize OK at the fat cattle show
held in Chicago, gives his mode of feeding
youg animals as follows 81 feed my young
cattle just enough to keep them lstrong
through the winter months After they are
two and a half years old commence feeding
corn winter and summer until send them
to market. Attend to them closely and
keep them improving from the time they
are led on corn to the time they leave the
farm. Generally feed from eight to twelve
months on corn. Intend from this time to
feed year younger, and send one year soon
er to market. Think | can get my steers
at thirty months old to weigh | 700 pounds.
This course will pay much better than to
keep them until SO to AZ months, and get an
average of 1000 to ., 100 pounds out of the
cattle.
