A Sure Preventive of Chicken Cholera.

The Michigan Farmer has a letter
from w. II. Griffith, of GAINESVILLE, o. :,
claiming that vaccination of chickens
will be as effective in preventing cholera
among fowls as vaccination of the hui
man species is in preventing smallpox.
OF two thousand fowls vaccinated by
him, only eleven died. He tried it in
nineteen different yards, where cholera
was raging, and in every case the fowls
not vaccinated died. We give this
method.
Vaccinate hen. and in eight days her
system will be thoroughly inoculated;
thea cut off her head and catch all the
blood in some vessel, then pour this blood
out on paper and let it dry; half drop
is sufficient to vaccinate fowl. and the
blood of one hen will vaccinate your
whole flock. Catch the fowl you wish
to vaccinate, and with pin or knife
make little scratch on the thigh-iost
enough to draw blood-then moisten a
little piece of the paper with the dried
blood on and stick it on the chicken 8
leg where you scratched it, then let the
fowl run, and you need have no fear of
chicken cholera. As the results of my
many experiments I have now dried
blood enough to vaccinate, should sup
pose, ten thousand fowls, for which |
have no use, as do not sell patent medi.
cines. If any of your readers are enough
interested in poultry to try this preven-
tive will send them free of any charge
enough dried blood to start with. All
ask is that they send Immediately, before
the blood loses its strength, and report
the result of their experiment to your
many readers.
This process seems to be more simple
than that of Pasteur, to whom belongs
the honor of discovering the nature Of
the contagious diseases of animals in
France and the ameliorating power oil
vaccination. He, like true scientist,
thanks Jenner for suggesting to him the
idea of doing as much for domestic ami
mails as the great discoverer of vaccina-
tion has done for the human family.

How Tariff Reduces Wages.
cleveland Penny Press.j


Where is the following statements and
propositions on the question of free trade!
II the whole world were under one gov.
for tariff.
Our pretext for tariff arises out of
the assumption that the people of other
governments can, and will, manufacture
and place on sale in our markets the very
goods upon which we impose a tariff
more cheaply than we can.
Now supposing the above assumption
to be true proposition-and reasoning
from thas standpoint it not follow;
/ That there is certain home demand
for all manufactures in all other coun
tries as we'll as in our own; and if any
foreign MANUFACTURES find their way into
our markets, the services of those EN-.
ployed particularly in their production
are not needed because OF any other de.
mand than ours.
2. That as soon as we impose tariff to
keep these goods out of our markets, we
in effect, by so doing, throw the labor
employed in their manufacture in foreign
countries out of employment,
Now, when their services are no longer
wanted at home, what do these foreigners
do? Do they not know that this country
while it imposes tariff on certain goods
foreign made, at the same time invites
those who we're engaged in their manu-
facture to come across the water and &c
into the same kind of employment here,
So, the manufacturers here, who gel
tariff laws enacted, do double and treble
duty for themselves. They keep the pri'
ces of their manufactures up; take the
enhanced price of home people who
were furnishing wheat. meat, wool anl
cotton for the very foreigners whom thu
tariff has thrown out Of employment, ant
who are now forced to come here to ge
his same wheat, meat, wool and cotton
at home prices, and to compete whe1
here with the labor Of those who are en-
gagged in the same line that the tariff
forced them to quit at home.
1t would seem as il our tariff mechan.
les and artisans would want to impose q
like tax upon the earnings of the for.
eigners who are forced over here to com.
pete with them in the shops and factor

Fertilizing Moss.

An article called fertilizing moss Is
offered in New York to take the place
of soil in raising plants. The discover
er is Frenchman, Alfred Dumesnil, q
scientific horticulturist. It is claimed
that ''this wonderful discovery by which
plants may be cultivated without earth,
or with earth in combination with moss,
bids fair to completely revomtionize
present methods in the house culture of
flowers" A great variety of plants, it
is said, have been experimented upon
in this way, and even vegetables raised
from the seed to maturity.

Oonoerning Gloves.

The style of dress for ceremonial oc.
casions have undergone several marked
changes within a few years. The aris-
tocracy and people of family in England,
for no other reason that we can see than
because Mrs. Mushroom Shoddy, and
Mrs. Greengrocer. and Mrs. Tallow
Chandler had as much money to spend
as they, and could initiate them in cost
ly attire and ornament, introduced a
marked innovation upon the style of
dress for weddings and parties. Gloves
were omitted, the fair white hand of the
''real lady and gentleman thereby
making a noticeable contrast to the
stubby red member of the plebian par
ties who initiated them. The plainest
morning suits were chosen instead of
full dress, that the difference in manner
and carriage might be the more strong
ly marked.
This fashion was soon adopted here.
In the most elegant circles gentlemen
appeared without gloves, carried opera
hats to parties and balls, wore frock
coats, red cravats, and lavender-colored
pantaloons for full-dress parties and re-
ceptions, and many stylish weddings
were celebrated where the lady. other
wise in full bridal attire, had bare hands,
and the groom was dressed as if he was
just going to the races. At balls the
same fashion was introduced, and we
have seen the full imprint of many a
bare, sweaty hand on the back of light
silk of exquisite hue, where the lady had
received this mark from the gentleman
who had been her partner in the waltz.
The first to rebel against this custom
was the society at Washington. The
wives and daughters of the Senators and
Judges put their heads together and
voted the fashion vulgar and unbecom-
ing. Since then there has been de-
cided reaction against it everywhere;
and, although it is adhered to by some,
the more dignified and sensible of those
who give tone to society throughout the
country have gone back to nearly the
full dress of the previous order. At the
same time the stiff rule having once
been broken, there is more independence
than formerly in attire on ceremonial
occasions, and people of standing are
allowed without severe criticism to con-
suit their own tastes and preferences as
to style and detail.-NeU York Journal
of Commerce. 'ta
