Hen-ROOsts.

Seeing farmer near me building
new hen-house the other day, l took
occasion to give him a new idea. He
was putting in his rOOsts in the old
fashioned way, one being above the 9th
er at an angle of about forty-five degrees.
In this way the fowls are led to attempt
to get upon the highest TOOst; and as it
gets full the weaker ones are crowded oil
and fall to the ground, and begin again
to climb up, only to repeat the same
performance. until it gets so dark that
they stop climbing, resting content up
on the lower roosts In the morning
the fowls will not go down as they went
up, from one rOost 10 another, but fly
from the roosts to the ground. In this
way and by falling from the roosts to
the ground at night, heavy fowls es-
pecially, when very fat or very full of
eggs, are often crippled in the legs, or
otherwise injured. MANY likely hens
l have seen completely spoiled in this
way. told him that l should build
the roosts of the same height, and no
more than two and half feet from the
floor, putting them about fifteen inches
apart Before l left had the satisfac-
ton of seeing him commence to undo
the work be had done. and build the
roosts as 1 suggested, and of hearing an
old farmer who was present declare his
intention of taking out his rOOsts, which
are of the 4" ladder STYLE and putting
in new ones level and lower. think
they will save hens enough before
spring by doing so to more than pay for
the labor it will take.-ABlerica, Stock

Lay a Painting Person Down.

1t is surprising how everybody rushes
at fainting person and strives to raise
him up, and especially to keep his head
erect. There must be an instructive
apprehension that if a person seized
with a fainting or other fit fall into the
recumbent position death is more i'm
minent. / must have driven a mile to-
day while lady fainting was held up
right 1 found her pulseless, white,
and apparently dying, and l believe
that if / had delayed ten minutes
longer she would really have died.
laid her head down on a lower level
than her body, and Immediately color
returned to her lips and cheeks, and she
became conscious. To the excited
group of friends l said: Always re-
member this fact-namely: fainting is
caused by n want of blood in the brain;
the heart ceases to act with sufficient
force to send the usual amount
of blood to the brain, and
hence the person loses consciousness
because the function of the brain
ceases. Restore the blood to the brain
and instantly the person RECEIVERS. Now,
though the blood is propelled to all parts
of the body by the action of the heart,
vet it is still under the influence of the
laws of gravitation- In the erect posi-
ton the blood ascends to the head
against gravitation, and the supply to
the brain is diminished, as compared
with the recumbent position. the heart s
pulsation being equal. If, then, you
place person sitting whose heart has
nearly ceased to beat, his brain win fail
to receive blood. while if you lay him
down, with the head lower than the
heart, blood viii run into the brain by
the mere force of gravity; and. in faint
ing, in sufficient quantity to restore con-
seriousness. Indeed, Nature teaches us
how to manage the fainting persons, for
they always fall, and frequently are at
once restored by the recumbent posi-
ton into which they are thrown. Ned

The perfection Of strengthening medicine
consists in its leaving no unpleasant after
effects. Whisky, ale, beer and other alcoholic
beverages excite the brain and blOod-vesseIs
to unnatural activity and while the whirlpool
Of excitement lasts, all feeling of languor and
distress is banished, but when the reaction
comes, "tbe last state Of that man is worse
than the frat" Invalids should trust more
to nature for their recovery. and avoid the use
of stimulants as altogether injurious. Be
partial TO fruit and vegetable diet and choose
such medicines as are strengthening to the
whole general system. To this end no better
remedies can be used than Yellow Dock, Sar-
saparflla, Juniper, Iron, Buchu, Celery and
Calisaya, each OF which have separate and dis
tinct virtue but when blended IN a single
compound excel all other remedies in giving
health, strength and vigor to every part Of the
body. Such compound is DR.. Guysott's
Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla; its harmonious
action on the blood, lungs, liver, kidneys and
muscular system Is astonishing.

By ROBERT T.. TANEii.

Minnie and Louisa-but who are
Minnie aud LouisaI Well, Louisa is
n little girl who, with her parents,
made the journey Of many thousand
miles from England to California,
some years ago. As for Minnie, she is
Louisa's cousin, with whom she has
lived ever since she completed the Won
dcrful journey, and they are more like
sisters than cousins now. Minnie is a
little Californian she never saw snow
excepting on the far.off mouniain-tops.
Once or twice she had seen ice as thick
as n pane of glass, but she'd scarcely
know what pair of skates were, if she
saw them, and SHE has never even had
n "good slide iu her life. Their
nome is nign vu " i.;ii cop, With its
grove of dark-green orang0-tr0's ohei-
tered by the stccl-blue eucalyptus, and
surrounded by forest of redwood
oaks. and madronas, while, reaching
away to the boundlcss west, the Pacific
Ocean lies below.
Just now. l will only tell you of q
certain adventure the children had III
that same great forest.
It was when the orauge-leaves were
darkest, when the green corn, and
thick-matted grapevines, greener STILL
were almost the only things that still
retained their spring-like color; when
all else was burnt brown and yellow,
50 that stranger would think that
such q desolation could never again
blossom into life; when even the ever
green forest looked parched, and all
the little plants at the feet of the great
trees were dry and crisp in fact, it
was at the very hight oft dry season.
when Minnie and Louisa started on a
long walk to their aunt's home. inns
aunt lived in little village deep in
the forest, and only to be reached,
from the ranch of Minnie's father, by a
very roundabout route, if one followed
the highway. But the girls had often
taken the journey before, and had
learned to pick their way by 'short
cut" through the woods and FARMS and
up canons and over hills, all which
their active little feet got over much
sooner than if they had gone by the
usual way, though to older people it
would have been case of the shortest
way round being the longest way
home. ...... ..
They started off early in the day,
we'll supplied with nice little luncheon
to eat when they should stop to rest, at
certain spring they knew of,about half
way on their journey. There had
been some anxiety felt by Minnie s
mother about letting them go by the
forest path, or trail, as it was called,
because of fires that had been raging
in the woods lately. However, as on
the night before, none had been SEEN
and on the morning of this day only a
little sluggish smoke was curling up
here and there, and that not in the
part of the country they would traverse,
she was treasured; and since the mes
sage they were to carry was urgent
she let them 60. The girls were in
high spirits, as they always enjoyed
this wild walk, and the burst of well
come from their little cousins was al
ways doub1y cheerful, coming after the
days solitude among the woods. They
laughed at the fear of fires-not tina,
they had not seen them and learned te
dread them, but just through sheer
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1882-02-22
