Simple but Sure Remedy for
HydrOprObia.

Our attention has been called to
the treatment of hydrophobia as given
in DIR. Chase's second receipt book.
Pages $40 to 514 inclusively to which
we invite the attention and careful
reading of the same. Mr.. Chase has
collected his valuable information from
seemingly reliable sources, and the
medical profession if not already wise
enough in the knowlege of the treat
ment of this terrible disease will find the
author quoted and the remedies and
the treatment given as interesting and
worth reading. To give all that is said
in Mr.. Chase's, book, on this subject, al
though not very lengthy would require
too much of our space at present. We
give, however, the following which is
said to be a simple but sure remedy.
The Norristown(Pa } Independent says:
"In 1919 one Talentine Kitering, of
Dauphin county, communicated to the
Senate of Pennsylvania sure cure for
the bite of any mad anamal.
He said that his ancestors had used
it in Germany 25O years ago, and that
he always found it to answer the pur'
pose during residence of fifty years in
United States. He only published il
from a motive of humanity. This
remedy consists in the weed called
"Chick-weed." 1t is summer plant
known to the Germans and Swiss by
the name of Gapchell, Rother, May OF
Hubnerdarin. In England it is called
Red Pimpernal and Its botanical name
is Angelic Phonicea. 1t must be
gathered in June, dried in the shade
and then pulverized. The dose OF thi'
for grown person is small tea spoon
ful, or in weight a dram and scruple a
once, in beer or water. For children
the dose is the same, yet it must be ad
ministered at three different times. Ii
applying, it must be used green, cut il
peices, and mixed in the form of
poultice, For hogs the pulverizec
weed is made into little balls by mixin,
it with -four and water. Itean also b
put on bread and butter, or in honey
molasses, DC. The Rev. Muklenbur
said that in Germany, 3Ograins of thi
powder are given four times day fo
the first day, then once day for tn
whole week, while at the same tim
the wound is washed out With a decOt
tion of the weed, and the powder
strewn in it. Mr.. Kittering said tbs
he in all instances administered but on
dose, with the most happy results. Th
is said to be the same remedy throug
which the late DR.. VIM. Story afiecte

The divorce statistics of Maine for
the past five years give an unpleasant
picture of home life in that State.
There have been about twenty-four
hundred divorces decreed during that
period, and thus nearly FIVE thousand
persons have been released from the
bonds which were assumed with al
least nominal solemnity. The ratio is
probably one divorce to ten marriage;
in Maine. The ratio in Massachusetts
in 1879 was one to twenty-One.

How to Raise Fine Fowls.

Country Gentleman.
Since fowls are so strong in their at
tachments, it is well to adopt the plan
of locating them, while chicks, where
they are to remain. The usual method
of raising chicks is to house them in
coops. This is well enough, provided
the coops are large enough to accom-
modate the brOods through storms,
when they cannot run abroad. For
this reason | always advocate the use
of some building where they may have
ample room for exercise, and not be
confined in the close quarters of an
outdoor coop. When the broods are
large, the mothers should never be al
lowed to run at will. Just where the
hens lead those chicks when growing
up, there they are determined to run
when grown.
After the rains and cold weather are
over, in the spring, coops placed in a
warm, sunny location are best. The
coops, however, should be n-proof
with a water tight roof. The sunniest
location should be chosen, and that sit
uation which catches the first force of
the rising and early sun is best. Chick
ems are early birds and rise with the
dawn. Hence, one hour of strong
morning sun is worth, to the growing
chickens, the whole monday. The stu
alton, however, for raising chickens
should not have sunshine all the time,
but some shade.
1t is not we'll to keep large numbers
together. . The stronger trample the
weaker ones, taking the best of the
food. Have plenty of mothers and
divide the broods. 1t is better to al
low the hen to brood the chicks, ol
rather certain proportion of them
and with good food she will lay sooner
than if turned off. 1t is useless tt
keep hen to brood half a dozer
chicks il is better to divide these few
around with the other mothers. a
large mother with good flesh can cover
and keep comfortable at night abou
II of the smaller chicks, and II of tn,
larger breeds.
1t is important to have the chicken
uniform, and this cannot be done
crowded at night. The nights are ap
to be chilly in spring, and the chicks
if not treated with great care, will ge
a check which they seldom overcome
In order to obtain uniform chicks, th
eggs should be laid by mature and wei
fed birds, of equal size and strength
Breeding hens should be at least on
year old, and never over two except i
rare cases, where the bird is unusuall
fine, and there is desire to perpetual
the particular strain. Uniformit
should exist in the breeding birds.
the eggs are gathered indiscriminatel
from a large number of fowls, tn
chicks will show great differences, anC
although of an age, seldom matur
alike.
