We do not know of any parties who
are keeping poultry on scientific princi.
piles with financial success except the
fanciers, who get large prices for both
eggs and fowls. Raising poultry and
eggs for the general market Is done most
profitably on farms and on a small
scale; all the extensive enterprises OF
the kind have failed.-N. Y. Times.
The st. Louis Miller, the Scientific
Anserfcd,i and the Massachusetts, Eclectic
Medical Journal indorse onions as an
excellent food for colds settled upon the
lungs. An extract can be made by
boiling down the juice of onions, and
that can be taken as q medicine, but
eating freely of well-cooked onions Is q
good way to obtain their medicinal
effect.
"A. j. Downing, who was perhaps
the best horticulturist America has
known, said: s.If I were 10 preach o
sermon on horticulture, should take as
my text, Stir the Soil.'" Frequent
and deep stirring will enable one to
grow fine vegetables on comparatively
poor and slightly manured soil; while
without it one fails to gain the proper
advantage, even from the richest and
finest soil. seen rit tha

dip them in beaten egg and then in fine

to advantage in this way.-N. y. Post.
There is remedy for every trouble
and there is one for this: Sheep nibble
their skin and pull the wool because the
skin itches, and the wool comes of
easily because there Is Inflammation.
The skin is red and hot in these places.
The cause Is disordered blood produced
by dry food, and it is always worse
when there Is good deal of smut on
the straw or fodder or dust on the hay,
which Is generally the case after q dry
summer. The remedy Is to give tea

The thrifty housewife whose lauda-
bic ambition il providing it is also q
necessity-to make q little go great
way, and to seek out little economies of
all kinds, may here find still another
way. She can make her lemon extract.
This will certainly stop q constant and
not small leak from her purse. 1t is
necessary to buy some pure, good alco-
hol, and in this put the yellow part of
lemon peel. Chip it off with q sharp
knife, taking care not to put in any of
the tough white skin. In delicacy of
fiavoring this equals and is even thought
TO excel the expensive I" boughtenr
extracts. Whenever q lemon Is used
for any cooking purpose good share
