To FAFEEN FowLs.-The best
food for fattening poultry is oat-
meal mixed with scalding milk. AS
a change in their diet is necessary
boiled barley may occasionally be
substituted. Give fresh feed three
dimes a day, as much, but no more,
than can be eaten at each meal.
Chopped up mutton suet or any fat
trimmings Of meat from the kitch-
en- mixed with the scalded meal
will produce an extra degree Of
fatness. Give green food, such as
chopped cabbage, turnips or on
ions. Keep them supplied with
gravel and fresh water. Milk,
either sweet, sour or thick, is also
most excellent. Fowls fed in this
way must not be kept longer than
two weeks, as if forced for greater
length of time they are apt to be-
come diseased. Leave them with
out food or water fourteen hours
before killing.

STARCHING MADE hASI.-IAf WeISA-
erwoman objects to making two
kinds of starch, and prefers to
starch all of the clothes with fine
laundry starch. Finding that she
used half a package Of ''silver
gloss" starch in the first washing,
where she had only had two shirts
and two skirts with few collars,
but three dark calico dresses, and
several large aprons and baby
dresses and aprons, I proposed to
her to make only -four starch and
use that for the calicoes, etc., and
I would starch the white clothes.
She is unwilling to do SO, because
it takes so much time to make -four
starch, or to rub out the Jumps OF
-four to perfect smoothness. Ny
sympathies are with her, and I
yield the point, mentally resolving
to buy starch by the large, or
wooden, box, and to provide large
dark gingham aprons for the chill
dren, and to give up calico dresses
until spring, SO that the number OF
pieces will be diminished. I never
feel that I can stop to make -four
starch when 7 do my own large
washings, and unless I can get the
starch made by another person, I
make enough fine starch for all the
pieces that need stifening, or omit
altogether to starch some Of the
oldest every day clothes. To be
sure the laundry starch costs a
trife more, but dear me! Time is
money, and health too, and good
temper and home happiness be-
sides.
I think it the best way to Stir
the starch, sufficiently moistened,
into the boiling water, instead OF the
more common way of pouring boil
ing water into the moistened starch
stirring briskly to prevent burn
ing" I now make both -four starch
and laundry starch in this same
way. There is less liability OF burn
ing and more certainty of having the
whole equally and well boiled. To
the fine starch, when boiled, [ now
add a little starch gelatine, as it
makes the starch less liable to
stick, and easier to take gloss in
ironing. There are other prepara
tions equally good I presume. But
the latest and simplest thing I have
heard OF, in the way of starch, is
Skinned milk! 7 am assured by
friend that she has often tried it,
when she had only a few calico
pieces in her washing. Dip the al.
ticle into sweet well-skimmed milk,
and it will dry as stiff "a little
sitter I should think) as common
-four starch would make it. IF
there is cream in the milk it Will
grease it, of course.-FAITH Ro-

How TO TREAT FRosT-B1rEs.-If
any part Of the body gets frozen,
the very worst thing to do is to ap-
ply heat directly. Keep away from
the fire. Use snow if you can get
it if not, use the coldes5 possible
water. Last winter our little boy
of five years froze his feet while
out coasting at considerable dis
tance from the house. He cried all
the way home, and the case seemed
pretty bad. I brought a big pan
ful of snow and put his feet into it,
rubbing them with the snow. But
my hands could not stand the cold.
I was alarmed to see him keep his
feet in the snow so long, but he
F0uld not bear them out of it. 1t
was half an hour before he would
take them out, and then the pain
was all gone, and when 7 had wiped
them dry and rubbed them a little,
he was entirely comfortable, put
on his stockings and shoes and
went to play. He never afterwards
had any trouble with his feet on
account Of this freezing. His sis
ter got her feet extremely cold, and
put them at once to the fire. Her
case at first was not so bad as her
brothers, but the result was much
worse. Her feet were very tender
all winter, and she suffered from
chilblains. Her toes had swollen
purple look, and she had to take
larger size of shoes.-Amerlcan Ag-
riculturist.

EXCELLENT BREAD.-Take four
quarts Of -four, teacup of good
yeast, tablespoon of salt and wet
with warm milk and water, stiff
enough to knead; work it on the
board until it requires no more
-four; if made a night the bread
will be light enough to work over
and put in pans early in the morn
ing; two or three patatoes will in
prove the bread. Good housekeep-
ers always sift -four and never use
it any other way.

There is Ole system Of tillage
saws the London Chronicle, far too
prevalent, in small gardens par
ticularly. It is that of digging
and manuring only one spade deep
till a few inches Of the top soil are
poisoned with dung, and turned
into a moving mass of slugs and
grubs, while the subsoil is as hard
as adsmant.

JANUARY.
ORCHARD AND NURSERY.

Little work can now be done in
the orchard. All trees should be
protected from intruders OF every
kind. Horses and cattle should be
kept from old trees, as they often
do much injury by browsing the
twigs. Young trees are not only
to be guarded against the larger
animal, but from mice and rabbits.
Hence, when there is fall OF snow,
it should be trampled firmly
around the trees to keep of the
mice. Rabbits are kept away by
smearing the trunks with blood or
bloody meat The eggs OF the
tent-caterpillar are easily seen and
removed in winter. Manure may
be drawn out and spread in the
orchard at any time, Now IS the
proper time to think about orchard
planting. If fruit trees are to be
set out next spring, two leading
points should be considered; the
thorough preparation Of the ground,
and the selecting of the varieties OF
fruit. An orchard set on poor
eoil, poorly prepared, will be a poor
investment. Another important
point is that it costs no more to
grow a tree Of a good variety than
DOOR, one. Il is difficult to give
q list of varieties of apples, pears,
etc., that will suit every one IN
every locality. A list that Will
aid in making the selection was
given in the Notes for last January'
and may be consulted. In pur-
chasing fruit trees, it is Of the first
importance that they shall be true
TO name; and second, that the
trees be healthful and well grown.
We place accuracy first; a poor
tree by care may be grown to make
a good one, but if one who IN
tended to set an orchard Of North"
ern Spy Or Newtown Pippin' finds
after waiting six or eight years
that, he has only Early Harvest
or Pumpkin Sweets, he has no
remedy. A good share OF his life,
so far as orchard culture goes, has
been wasted. Hence our frequent
advice not to buy OF tree peddlers,
but to always deal directly with
a nursery Of known reputa-
tion. One cannot afford to plant
doubtful trees if they are given to
him. Therefore unless a nursery
agent" can show that the nursery
he represents is responsible for
him, don't buy, if the hoped for Or
chard must be postponed If dis
posed to listen to one believed to
be an agent of q nursery you know
to be reliable, it is always safest,
after making up a selection to
send it direct to the nursery your
sell, and get an answer that it is
all right. If, there is reliable
nursery near at hand, it is better,
other things being equal, to get
trees there.

CorToN IN LUNENBURG COUNTY, VA.-The

As to cotton grown in this county. some
few farmers last spring, who failed to get
tobacco-piants, attempted TO make cotton;
and while they planted IL too late, they still
succeeded very well, mixing half bale to
the acre. They are we'll pleased with the
result. and the impression Is here that at
least half tbe area that is usually put in TO.
bacca will bspanted this spring in cotton.
We think that with the use Of fertilizers we
can grow rs good cotton as any section OF
Southside Virginia. You see that since
dark tobacco does not pay the farmers VIII
be compelled to divide their crops (sone
tobacco and some cotton). All that Is ne.

General GARFIELD, in a speech delivered
in the House OF Representatives in June,
1874, said:
"The divorce between Church and state
ought to be absolute. 1t ought to be so ab'
solute that no Church property anywhere,
In any State or in the nation, should be ex.
emp, from equal taxation; for II you ex'
empt the property OF any church organize
ton to that extent YOU impose church TAX
upon the whole community"
II the statement In the last clause OF the
last sentence were true, the conclusion
reached by Mr.. GARFIELD would be logical
and indisputable. Aad the statement Is
true as to any property held by churches
except the church edifees. But does the
exemption Of church edifices "impose
church tax upon the whole community"
We think not.
