THE doctors have been puzzled by the malaria question and as usual they can- not agree. The lawyers have now taken hold of the matter and the question will probably receive @ judicial determina- tion The Smith Paper Go. of Lee, Mass. were prosecuted for maintaining a nuisance in the shape of @ mill dam, which it was alleged produced great many cases of malaria in it's vicinity. The case has been on trial for two or three weeks at Pittsfeld, and as many expert doctors have been examined as there were on the Hayden trial. Among others was Dr. G. H. Wilson of Meriden, member of the state board of health, who read an interesting paper on mala- ria at the semi-annual meeting of the Connecticut Homeopathic society," Dr. Wilson has been studying malaria for @ number of years and has collected 8 large number of facts. He says that the disease in its manifestations in this state since the year 1860 has been epidemic and not to any extent endemic; that it has not been confined to warm weather; that it has not been cut off by frosts or wintry weather; that it has not found its habitat in the neighborhood of stag nant waters; that the remedies best adapted to its cure are not those most efficacious in paludal ague. Dr. Wilson finds that malarial disease invaded this state in 1860, in the town of Southport, in the southwestern part of the state in wave scarcely more than 20 miles wide, spreading laterally from this line of pro- gress only after reaching the northern boundary of the state, and occupying about 15 years in it's march. This mi gratory feature of the disease has not been heretofore noticed in America, though not unknown to the continent of Europe.

If she had no calf the price should be S3O. Time rolled on, and the COW had calf July 1st, but neither the COW or the calf did well, and finally it was necessary to take the calf from the COW and bring it up by hand lest it should starve to death. Now here comes the part where truth is stranger than | fiction. October 1st that COW had another calf, came to her milk properly, and both mother and offspring are doing we'll"

 FIRST, However, we would say that a change has taken place in our store since last Spring. MT. Rogers has left us to take a position in the city His good will h. has left with us, and we shall endeavor to keep his trade as far as possible, if good goods, low prices and telling the truth about what we sell will do it, we shall not lose many custom CTS, we have not time or money to throw away in buying plates of good or poorly dressed gents to head our advertising columns with, neither do we claim to be editors of an illustrated paper. What we are trying to do is to run our store as cheaply as pos sible and give our customers the benefit of what we can save in rent, clerk hire, cheap advertis' ing and buying goods for cash.

Vermin in Fowls.

Notwithstanding the cold days and
nights we are now in the midst of, and
all the precautions which the attentive
poulterer has thus far adopted to keep
the house-vermin under control, we
should now watch for the temperance
of this pest within the building where
the poultry congregate in January and
forward to spring again.
AS soon as the fowl-stock becomes
accustomed to their new winter quar-
tiers, the roosts upon which they rest at
night will be infested with lice, which
accumulate rapidly after they once get a
foothold afresh upon the perches.
Every one who keeps fowls is aware
how pernicious and how insidious are
the assaults Of this active little enemy
to domestic poultry, and those who have
had the largest experience with this
nuisance will appreciate our repeated
hints regarding continual effort to keep
this foe at bay.
In winter, then, as in the summer sea-
son, we shall find it good economy to
preserve the fowls from this annoyance,
as thoroughly as the thing is possible.
With regular care in this direction, but
lutte trouble will be suffered; and the
nicer appearing flock. the healthier
birds, and the more profitable to their
owner will they prove if, as often as
once i'll a fortnight through the winter,
the perches are washed with kerosene
and the fowls busted with carbolic pow
der. This is the best plan we know of
to keep vermin under at any season of
the Year.-PoultrY World.

Good Pens for the Hog.

A week or two ago we printed good,
practical article from an Ohio CORE
spondent on the subject of providing
proper accommodations for the hog dur
ing the time they are shut-up, as pro-
lection against the severity of the wealth
er. The statements made in that short
article of advice partook of good sense,
and we have no doubt but that it
brought the question of better pens for
the hog before many of those who have
heretofore given it but little thought
There is much to be said in the selec-
ton of a location for the pen. 1t
should have southern exposure with a
movable front that can be open or shut
to admit or exclude the sun at pleasure,
When the pen is large a half to three
fourths of it should have no flooring,
but the earth should be hard and the
drainage of the whole complete. Ma
nure can be manufactured from leaves,
cornstalks, and any dry substance con-
vertible into that valuable product.
The foored portion should hold no
moisture, and be supplied with plenty
of straw as the sleeping and resting
apartment. Hogs always lay close to-
gether to produce warmth, and the
warmer they can make themselves with
the addition of close pen the less food
they will require, not only to give them
increased weight, but to enable them
to retain the fat they possessed when
they went into winter quarters. Seer

Advantages Of Underdrains.

have never tried undertaking in
winter, though in open weather, not too
wet, laying drains is practicable, pro-
vided the work is kept we'll finished up
each day. The ground is now drenched
with forty light hours nearly steady rain,
and low fields not underdrained are COW
cred with water frozen on the surface
before it could run off. Water freezing
over wheat is certain destruction to it,
provided the frost extends to the earth.
On well drained land, no matter how
heavy the rainfall, the water is con-
stantly passing downwards and cannot
freeze solid, however suddenly the
change in the weather may come. /
have often seen temporary pools of wa
ter near drains frozen over before it
could be absorbed, but only a film of
ice would form before the water would
settle, leaving the grain rather protect
ed than injured by its temporary SUBJ
mersion. In very rare cases have seen
water held on the surface by frozen
earth beneath which it could not pene-
trate; but this is scarcely possible over
underdrains, as the earth there is never
so solid as not to allow water to filter
downwards. 1t seems to me that this
present week must prove much the
hardest yet experienced by wheat on
poorly drained fields in Western New
York. Country Gentleman.

The young shoots Of hops are used
Tor green's in Bavaria, and are preferred
70 asparagus.
Corn Fritters Two cups grated
eorn, three eggs, two tablespoons milk,
;wo OF flour, a little salt and butter.
Fowls seldom tire of milk. They
may eat too much grain or meat for
health, but milk in any form is both
palatable and healthy.
Some persons protect their trees by
tying pieces of thick bark around the
trunk of the tree, from the ground up,

President McCann, of the Elmira
IN. " Farmers Club, rates rutabagas
fed to cattle with grain as worth twenty
eight cents bushel when corn is dol
lar bushel. Another writer rates them
at less than twenty-five cents, while he
regards potatoes as worth nearly half as
much as corn.
For four weeks thirty-two oxen and
steers have been feed on ensilage made
| of corn cobs and husks of sweet corn at
j. w. Jones & Co.'s corn factory at
Bridgeton, Me. In eight days the
eighteen oxen, it was found, had gained
an aggregate of LOGS pounds. The
greatest gain of one pair was 120
pounds, and the next highest pair ITO
pounds.
Hogs are occasionally troubled with
blood warts or soft vascular tumors on
| the skin, which bleed when rubbed. In
course of time they disappear. They
are caused by disordered condition of
the blood and should be treated by
medicine, and not alone by outward APP
plications. Give the hogs each half a
pint of linseed or castor oil, and repeat
twice at intervals of two days. Touch
the tumors with a strong solution of
bluestone (sulphate of copper once
day until they are dried up. After the
oil has been given give in the food one
dram or teaspoonful of hyposulphite
of soda daily, or as much sulphur, if
more convenient.
1t is now matter of fact that no
branch of the livestock business suits
the masses of the people better than
fowl-raising. 1t is paying vocation,
and is adapted to the young as well as
the old and to all sections of the coun-
try. Prime poultry is desirable in every
poulterer's beginning. The wisest
methods are the best and cheapest in
the end. Pure-bred stock costs more at
the start; but once established in the
breeders yard, its beauty, prolifcness,
stamina and courage, and the conse-
quent value of all the specimens pro-
duced from the original breeding birds
more than make up for the extra outlay
spent at the outset, while procuring the
very best stock that money can buy.
