Chicken Cholera.

When fowls do not have access to
sharp gravel or coarse sand, being fed
too much whole corn will sometimes
produce cholera. New damp corn, OF
grass which has become succulent after
protracted rains, if fed mostly to fowls,
will produce cholera. The gas from
fermented manure piles will cause it.
II fowls drink filthy, stagnant water for
length of time, it will produce it.
Wheat screenings containing much
smut will get fowls out of condition, il
it will not produce cholera. Some
times when too many potatoes are used
with cornmeal and wheat bran dough,
cholera will be produced. In using po-
tatoes add "a tablespoonful each of salt
and cayenne pepper to two gallons OF
meal and bran and potatoes. Lancaster

The Japanese TallOW Tree.

Mr.. o. y. Denny, United States Con-
sul-General ut Shanghi, has sent to
friend in California, for distribution
throughout the State, package of the
seeds of the &" tallow tree which he
thinks will flourish there, with the fol-
lowing interesting description Of the
process by which its fruit is prepared
for use: The nuts grow in clusters
and are gathered in November. When
ripe, the capsule divides and discloses,
usually, about three kernels, covered
with pure, hard, white tallow. In pre-
pairing the tallow, the ripe nuts are put
into a wooden cylinder with II
perforated bottom, and, after ten
or fifteen minutes steaming, the
tallow becomes so soft that it is
easily detected from the albumen of the
seeds by breaking them with mallets.
1t is then separated from the seed by
sitting it through hot sleeves, but, OF
course, it is discolOred from mixtures
with the brown tesla of the seeds, and
in order TO strain it and make it per-
fectly pure and white, it is poured into
a cylinder made up of rings of straw
placed one on top OF the other, and put
into rude press, when the tallow is
squeezed through in pure state. From
| 1873 pounds of seed is obtained from
forty to fifty pounds of tallow, besides
the oil obtained subsequently from the
albumen by grinding, steaming and
pressing it, The tailow is used for
variety of purposes by the Chinese. but
more particularly for making candles,
which are burned in Buddhist worship.
