MILK AS CAUSE OF TUBURoULoUs Dis
EAsEs.-Mr. Fleming, veterinary surgeon
to the Royal Engineers, has insisted upon
the urgent necessity that exists for prevent
ing the consumption of the milk and flesh
of diseased cattle. In a paper recently
read by him at Norwich, England, he has
adduced further proof of the extreme dan
ger to the public from this source, and
these proofs are certainly startling and
worthy Of notice We learn that tubercu-
Iosis among cattle is greatly on the increase,
and especially in the higher bred stock,
some authorities going so far as to assert
that Eve per centum are affected. As dairy
COWS are never inspected as to their state
Of health, as they furnish by far the larger
proportion Of phthisical bovines, there can
be no doub; as to the gravity Of the ques-

PROPERLY prepared fowl manure may be

applied to any crop, field or garden, broad
cast or narrowed in, but it is more econom'
ically used in the hill or drill The easiest
and best way to save it is to gather it up as
aften as once week and mix with about
twice its bulk of dry earth. In preparing
for use, spread the droppings on tight
floor and make fine by pounding; make
moist with soap-suds, urine or other waste
water In short time the manure thus
treated will become well rooted, and ap-
piled to beans, corn or potatoes at the rate
of handful in hill, well mixed in the
soil before dropping the seed, will give the
crop good start Hen manure applied

FRESH EGGs DURING WINTER. The pro-
duction of eggs during cold weather is
largely under the control of the one who
has charge of the fowls Hens supplied
with warm and comfortable quarters and
an abundance of suitable food as rule re-
ward the owner with bountiful supply OF
eggs. In connection with liberal care
should be observed the ages of the fowls
Geyeln and other scientists who have looked
into the matter state, and Prof. Miles quotes
the following proportion as applicable to
the average of poultry: -"First year after
Matching, Is or 90 eggs second year, 100
to 1870; third year. 1870 to 1875. and the
fourth year after Matching, 100 to 10 eggs,
after which time there is visible decrease,
the fifth year being accorded only 60 to 80
eggs. Fowls require a variety of food.
Corn fed alone tends to the production of
eggs. Wright in his book on poultry places
finely ground oats, thoroughly moistened,
but not made into slop, at the head OF the
list as standard food for poultry. He fur
thermore recommends the mixing of all
soft food with boiling water and the feeding
of it while it is yet warm. Of the whole
grains he gives buckwheat the preference
and next to this he advises good sound bar
ley. Laying hens should also have liberal
supply in way of fresh vegetables and any
green obtainable. Scraps of meat chopped
fine and mixed with bits of food
from the table are also desirable. The food
may be further varied by using wheat
screening or middlings and shorts mixed
and wet with water. Burnt bones or oys-
ter shells or bits Of pounded lime, NOR al
and gravel must be regularly furnished.
These substances present the occurrence OF
soft -shelled eggs and are relished by the
hens. A box OF dry ashes placed where ii
is always accessible insure freedom from
vermin. To present the matter in nut
shell, furnish suitable accommodations, OBJ
tain and keep excellent breeds, feed as
great variery of diet as possible, and feed
as much as they will eat-a hungry hen will
not be laying hen. In very cold weather
and little cayenne pepper to the morning
ration, which, by the way, should lie made
neither too wet nor given too hot. Supply
plenty of water and observe regularity in
feeding and also IN gathering the eggs
