St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1881-06-24

Apropos of the COnkling resignation,
the Cincinnati Gazette came out, mt the
time, with long piece of Geographic
correspondence, treating the event me
taphorically and pOrtraying the dire
disaster which had fallen upon the
country. The article was rich in cut
ting sarcasm and full of capital hits.
Perhaps it is not too late to reproduce
that part of it which contains Secretary
Blaine's official announcement of the
resignation to our ministers in foreign
lands. Here it is:
Iou will at once inform the nation
which You are accredited that Roscoe
Conkling of New York has blotted out
the American Republic, and that he
will in due time announce the kind of
mOnarchical government which it may
suit his lordship to establish. To you,
privately, may say, with due shame
faccdncss, that the turkey g0bblcr
strut has won that mud has become
diamonds the satyr is now Hyperion !;

Shade Trees in Pastures.

1t cannot be denied but that we are
on little extreme in regard to our
midsummer weather, and the farmer
who believes in making his dumb
animals rs comfortable as possible,
has not neglected to set out shade
trees in his pasture for the particular
benefit of his stock, or fixed up sheds
so that they could get under, and all
others who have neglected such
work should prepare in some way
some contrivance so that their stock
will not be exposed to the hot sun
during dog-days. 1t is very true,
that on the prairies there is most
always a gentle breeze, which is a
great comfort to stock, but if there
is clump Of trees in pasture, it
will be observed that the stock al
ways gather under them and enjoy
the grateful shade they make-es-
pecially during the hottest part Of
the day, cattle require protection
from the extreme heat as much as
they do frone the extreme cold.

Everybody has seen in woods the

BERTHA, TODD COUNTY.

having no good effect upon the grow

three weeks.

the appearance of the place.
Everything and everybody is now

Guinea Fowls and Insects
It is claimed that guinea fowls are
invaluable for the purpose of Destroy
ing insects. On the extensive seed
farm of Messrs. Landrcth & Sons,
Philadelphia, not a chicken is to be
found, but a large number Of guine:.
fowls are allowed the freedom Of the
grounds, and theT rid them Of all
insects. 1t is said tAey are less de-
structive to the products of the
gardens than chickens. and that when
they are suffered to have free access
to them no gardener will be troubled
with bugs or vermin of any variety.
This is certainly cheap way of get
ting rid of our insect bores. because
guinea fowls are profitable to keep on
the farm for their laying properties.

RAISING. 4.

In raising poultry or stock 1t
should be the aim OF every one to
keep It healthy and improve it.
You cen do it very easily by adopt
ing some systematic rules. These
may be summed up in brief as
follows:
Construct yonr house good and
warm SO as to avoid damp floors
and afford food Of sunlight. Sun
shine is better than medicine.
Provide dusting and scratch
ing place, where you can bury
wheat and corn, and thus tolnduce
the fowls to take needful exercise.
Provide yourself with good,
healthy chickens, none to be over
three or four years old, giving one
cock to every twelve hens.
Give plenty OF fresh air at all
times of the year, especially IN
summer.
Give plenty of fresh water daily
and never allow the fowls to 60
thirsty.
Faaa them. systematically, two
or three times a day, and scatter
the food, so that they can't eat too
fast or without proper exercise. Do
not feed more than they Will eat up
clean, or they will get tired Of that
kind of feed.
Give them a variety Of both dry
and cooked food; q mixture OF
cooked meal and vegetables is an
excellent thing for their morning
meal.
Give soft feed in the morning,
and the whole grain st night, ex-
cept little wheat OF cracked corn
placed in the scratching place 10
give them exercise during the day.
Above al things keep the hen
house clean and well ventilated.
Do not crowd too many in one
house. If you do, look ou5 for
disease.
Use carbolic powder in the dust
ing bins occasionally to destroy
lice.
Wash your roosts and bottom OF
laying nests with white wash once
a week in summer, and once
month in winter.
Let the old and young have as
large range as possible-the lar
ger the better.
Don't breed too many kinds OF
fowls at the same time unless you
are going into the business. Three
or four will give you your hands
full.
Introduce new blood into your
stock every year or so, by either
laying cockerel or sittings OF
eggs from some reliable breeder.
In buying birds or eggs go to
some reliable breeder who has his
reputation at stake. You may have
to pay a little more for birds, but
you can depend on what you get.
Culls are not cheap at any time.
Save the best birds for next
years breeding, aud send the 9th
ers to market. In shipping fancy
poultry to market send it dressed.

THE USES OF LEMONS.

The lemon tree is native of Asia
although it is cultivated 10 Italy, P0r'
sugal and in the South Of France. ln
Europe, however, It seldom exceeds
the dimensions of the smallest tree,
while 10 its native State it grows to
over sixty feea ip height. Every part
of this tree is valuable in medicine,
though we rarely employ any of it but
its fruit, that is the lemon itself.
And every one knows how to employ
this, as in lemonade To squeeze the
Juice into cold water-this is the
shortest way; or to cut it in slices and
let it soak in cold water or to cut it 10
slices and then boil it. Either way
is good. Lemonade is Que Of the

It also prevents chilblaius. Lemons

by rubbing the part affected with
