MOVABLE NEST BoXEs.--These should
be in all hen-houses. A nest-box IA
inches square Is about the right size,
and should have cleats on the back TO
fit in a groove that is placed against
the sides of the house, about 3 feet
from the floor, so that the nest can
readily slide in and out, leaving it easy
TO clean. Nests should never be made
stationary in a hen-house. Now is a
good time to replenish the nesting ma
terial; first burn the old hay, &C..
then put in new hay; never use straw
as grain which almost invariably at
taches to some of the straw attracts
fowls attention, and start them TO
scratching, consequently destroying
the nest.

Cows.-Garget and abortion trouble
the dairymen. We believe in preven-
ton. The former may surely be pre-
vented by due ere. As soon as the
udder contains milk it should be re.
lIeved by drawing OFF part of it, ii
there Is any tendency TO hardness.
These diseases are often consequence
of weakness. a fat animal may be
weak for the want of food. When a
cows time approaches and the feed Is
suddenly reduced, disturbance OF the
system is caused. Circulation becomes
irregular, and congestion occurs in the
most susceptible organs. The udder Is
the principal enc of these at this
period, and an attack OF garget is very
sure to occur. This may not always be
so, but long experience and obserya-
ton convinces us that It generally Is.
The remedy Is obvious.

SCRATCHEs.-Scratch is the disease
which affects the heels of horses, and is
often called grease in the heels. or mud
fever. 1t is adisease OF the skin, caus-
ed originally by wet or filth, and the
absorption of diseased matter in time
produces a diseased condition of the
blood, which renders cure very difficult.
If it is not very serious it may be treat
ed by frequent washings with warm
water and soap. In severe cases melt
together two ounces OF beeswax, two
ounces resin, half a pound of fresh
lard; add to this four ounces OF tur-
pentine, and stir until nearly cool;
then stir in one ounce of finely-powder-
ed acetate of copper, and well mixed
until cold. The heels should-be BAN
daged to preserve from injury or
irritating matter, mud, sand or filth.
Ii the disease is unusually virulent
medicine should be given. This may
be a free saline laxative, as twelve
to sixteen onnces Of salts, and the usual
antiseptic, hyposulphate CT soda In
small doses, repeated daily till the dis
ease is overcome. If purglng occurs,
reduce to half-ounce doses.

Fever and Ague.

There are some places in which
fever and ague prevails every
season, and this is the case in
the vicinity of creeks and swamps.
An acquaintance of ours, who
has resided for several years on
one Of these creeks, never has
had a case of fever and ague in
his family, while all of his neigh
bors have been more or less aft
fected with it every season. He
attributes his immunity from this
troublesome disease to the use
of good fire in his house every
chilly and damp night i'll sum-
mer and fall. When the Indi-
ans travel at night or early in
the morning in swampy regions
they cover their nose and mouth
with some part of their garments
to warn4 the air which they in
hale, and this they say prevents
chills and fever.

A Chinese Confidence Man

"For ways that are dark and
tricks that are vain the heather
Chinese is peculiar" says the
Kansas City Times, and a case
in point yesterday shows a little
sharp trick which places "John"
even with the most intelligent of
confidence men. The celestial
who played the last trick for pc
cuniary profit is Hop Sing, who
occupies the position of proprie-
tor Of a washing establishment
on Fourth street. He had as a
customer about two weeks ago a
young man from Kentucky on
his way West, but who stopped
at the Metropolitan Hotel for a
few days. The customer, in cali
ing for his washing, was so in
discreet as 10 leave his pocket
book lying within the reach of
some of the sharp-eyed celestials
attached to the concern, while he
walked away a few steps. The
pocket-book mysteriously disap-
peared, and after searching some
time for it the stranger offered
$50 reward. Hop Sing immedi-
ateIy produced the book and
pocketed the money.
The book contained valuable
papers, and as the customer was
in a hurry to leave the city, he
took the wisest course to regain
it. Yesterday he returned and
unfolded the scheme to Chief
Speers, who at once sent an Off
Ger to Hops place of business to
demand a restoration Of the
money. The Acknowledged fol-
lower of Confucius saw the point
and gave up the money, COM
planning that the man who took
the book was another Chinaman
who had "glon West to grow up
with comtlee."

BUSINESS RULES.
Some Hints About Business That
are Worth Preserving.

fla note or bill is transferred
as security, or even as payment
of a preexisting debt, the debt
revivcs if the note or bill be
dishonored.
An Endorsement may be writ
ten on the face or back.
An indorser may prevent his
own liability to be sued by
writing "without recourse;" or
similar words
An oral agreement must be
proved by evidence. A writ
ten agreement proves itself.
The law prefers written to oral
evidence, because it is precision.
No evidence may be intro
duced to contradict or vary a
written contract; but it may be
received i'll order to explain it,
when such contract is in need
of explanation.
Written instruments are to
be construed and interpreted by
the law according to the simple,
customary and natural meaning
of the words used.
The finder of a negotiable pa
per, as of all other property,
must make reasonable efforts TO
find the owner before he is enti-
tied to appropriate it for his
own purposes. If the finder
conceal it, he is liable to the
charge Of larceny or theft.
Joint payees of bill or note,
who are not partners, must all
join in an Endorsement.
One may make a note paya-
Bile to his own order and indorse
it in blank. He must write his
name across its back or across
its face, the same as any other
indorser.
After the death ola holder of a
bill or note, his executor or adj
ministrator may transfer it by
his Endorsement.
The husband who acquires a
right to a bill or note which
was given to his wife, either be-
fore or after marriage, may in
dorse it.

The present necessity of Amer
lean agriculture, is larger crops
at the same cost, or a less proper
tomato cost, than our present
small ones. This result can only
be secured by additional fertili-
izing. The present average of
our crops is not more than one
fourth of that which the soil is
capable of producing, and this
extra three-fourths may be pro
duced without any more labor
by the use Of fertilizers or addi-
tional manures; but fertilizers
chiefly.
