A writer in the Poultry Yard sug-
gests to owners of egg eating fowls how
to get rid of the trouble. In the fall re-
place all the old hens with pullets, pro-
cure some China nest eggs, and take In
the new-laid eggs every night in cold
weather, and oftener if you wish to save
them from freezing, and prevent the
hens learning to eat them.

of bread crumbs, half teacup of butter

full of powdered thyme, or summer
savory, pepper, salt, and mix thorough
ly. Rub the turkey well inside and out
with salt and pepper, then fill with, first,
a spoonful of crumbs, then few we'll
drained oysters; strain the oyster liquor
and use to baste the turkey. Cook the
giblets in the pan, and chop fine for the
gravy. A fowl of this size will require
three hours in moderate oven.
"A correspondence of the Ohio Farmer
advises farmers, instead of burying their
cabbages in the ground, thus running
the risk of freezing, damage by mice
and moles, or finding them half rotten
when wanted for use, to pull up the
heads, shake off the earth well, pull off
few of the outside leaves and hang
them up in the cellar by twine tied to
the stems and nails driven into the
joists. The cellar, Of course, must be
well ventilated.
&c Foul in the hoof is but another
name for "contagious foot rot, j." a disease
common to cattle and sheep pastured in
low, wet lands, or kept in wet, filthy
yards and stables. Remove the affect
ed animals to dry yard by themselves,
and then wash out the diseased parts
away all diseased part; after which ap-
ply chloride of zinc, one dram dissolved
in a pint of water. After washing thor
oughly with this solution two or three
times a day for two days, smear over
the sores with warm pine tar. In very
bad cases it is well to apply a poultice
for day or tive before using the other
remedies. Keep the diseased animals
out of the pasture or yard occupied by
the healthy ones, because virus from the
sores will be left on the ground and
caught up by those with healthy feet,
The disease is contagious.-N. Z. Sun.
All kinds of burns, including scalds
and sunburns, are almost Immediately
relieved by the application of solution
of soda to the burnt surface. 1t must be
remembered that dry soda will not do
unless surrounded with a cloth moist
enough to dissolve it. This method of
sprinkling it on and covering it with a
wet cloth is often the best. But it is
sufficient to wash the wound repeatedly
with strong solution. 1t would be we'll
to keep bottle of it always on hand,
made so strong that more or less settles
on the bottom. This is what is called a
saturated solution, and really such So
luton as this is formed when the dry
soda is put on and covered with a mois-
tened cloth. 1t is thought by some the
pain of a burn is caused by the harden
ing of the albumen of the flesh, which
presses on the nerves, and that the soda
dissolves the albumen, and relieves the
nerves.
