bility, loss of-.appetite and depressed spirits.
The most essential object should.be to separ-
ate the sick fowls from the others and re
move them 70 dry, warm location, feeding
on soft, nutritious food 4 little c0pperas
solution in the drinking water is about all
the medicine necessary, as doctoring often
does more harm than good. The best remedy
is warmth.
In selecting the winter layers il is best TO
reserve those that were hatched early. Ii the
small breeds are kept the pullets hatched as
late as the beginning of June sometimes
begin to lay about Christmas but those a
month older will give more satisfactory re-
suits. The large breeds-Brahmas, Cochins
and Plymouth Rocks-require more time
during which to grow and mature, and
pulletS of such breeds, when inteRded as
winter layers, should be matched as early as
possible, March being the month preferred,
but later Matched pullets of the large breeds
often begin 10 lay early and produce quite
number of eggs before spring begins. Langs-
han pullets begin to lay nearly as early as
Leghorns. which is n good quality for
breed OF large fowls, and the crosses OF the
Langshan with mixed or common fowls also
produce good early LAYERS.
In crossing fowls one OF the best that can
be made is 10 mate Houdan with Brahma
hens the result being very fine, vigorous,
large fowls The brown Leghon cock, when
mated with Partridge Cochin hens, also pro-
duces excellent fowls, which are not only
profitable but beautiful in plumage.
Feeding requires judgment, for fowls, in
order TO lay and give good results must be
given variety, green food being allowed as
a regular addition to the supply OF grain.
Meat in some shape is also essential, and good
quarters and pure water are very important.
As.eggS bring better prices now and during
the winter than at any other time, the
breeder will be well rewarded for the care he
may bestow if the fowls are properly attended
TO and their wants amply supplied.

George stephenson's Rocket" and the magnifi-
cent locomotives OF TO day are built upon the same
general principle, yet the machine with which the
great engineer astonished his age is interesting
now only as an illustration of the beginning of the
invention. There were plasters with holes in them
long before BENsoN's CAPCINE POROUS PLAS-
TER surprised both republic and the physicians;
and the triumph OF the Capcine is founded upon
the partial successes or the utter failure of its pre-
decessors. Everything of value in the old porous
plaster retained in the Capcne but at this point
ali comparison ends, and contrast begins. For
example:
The old plasters were slow in their action; the
Capcine is quick and sure.
The old plasters lacked the power to do more
than to impart slight temporary relief in cases
easy of treatment the Cspcine penetrates the sys

it is recommended.
The old plasters depended for any good results

Poultry Management.

The fall is the time in which to make Sc
lectiOns of the pullets that are intended as
winter layers 1t must be considered that
fowls are adapted for particular seasons, ac-
cording to the breeds The Leghorns COM
mence laying very early, but unless given
warm quarters and the best Of feed rarely
make good winter layers. In fact, all fowls
should be made comfortable during the win
ter season, but there are breeds endowed
with heavier and closer feathering than
Others which are thereby enabled to retain
the animal heat longer. An examina-
ton of Leghorn ben will demonstrate
that the body under the wings is sometimes
nearly naked, being covered only by the
wings, while the body of a Brahma is not
only covered by the wings bat also by
heavy pluf feathering, soft and downy,
which is serviceable during the long winter
season. There may be exceptions but such
is usually the case. Leg feathering, how
ever, is OF no advantage as the feathers keep
the legs continually damp where the fowls
are confined on heavy clay soil. The comb
is another obstacle to Leghsrns, Black Span
ish and Plymouth Rocks, such fowls having
tall single combs, which are easily frosted
when exposed to severe cold winds or when
they become wet, as the danger of freezing
is thereby increased. The combs may be cut
of close to the head. as also the wattles if
necessary, which operation is not necessarily
dangerous. but sometimes beneficial when
the combs are very heavy.
During the damp weather at this time of
the year the roup sometimes makes It's APP
pearance, even when the fowls have received
the best care that can be bestowed. There
are many forms Of roup, and it becomes con-
taeious in fiocks when allowed to have its
vay unchecked; but the mild form is usually
a cold. the symptoms being stoppage of the
nostrils which gives the well known hoarse
breathing with the mouth opened. It some
times appears also as a disease of the throat,
and other times the eyes and head are
affected, in all cases attended by general de.

The Farmers Horse.


The idea that farmers must necessarily have
large, fiabby, Overgrown horses. weighing
from sixteen to eighteen hundred, is gaining
favor. and will doubtless prove one of those
tidal waves of some popular excitement. The
generality OF farmers do not need or require
such a horse. For all practical purposes APP
pertaining to the farm these elephant-like
horses fail to meet the requirements saJisfac-
tOTily. Any one who will take the pains to
notice horses belonging to the rural districts
can readily see at glance that the majority
of farms contain a vast surplus of horse
flesh. That is a majority of those who have
these much-coveted horses-I will say at
least nine-tenths for there are fully this pro-
portion who find this surplus horse flesh
decided hindrance in performing the various
requirements that the average farmer is
bound to demand, whether his team be large
or lust the adequate size. A horse or team
the adequate size will perform the different
kinds of work which most farmers require OF
one and the same team IAN all-purpoSe team
quicker, with greater ease and with less feed,
than the big elePhant-like. inefficient horse
already alluded to- The farmer usually if
not always, desires a horse that will answer
all purposes that is, work to the pillow. the
reaper, the mower, the wagon, the buggy or
spring wagon and under the saddle while
there may be many whe OF necessity require
all these desirable qualities of their limited
number of horses. at least they make them
which may be satisfactory, may be per-
formed in sneh way as to give reasonable
satisfaction, owing to what manner of horses
are thus employed.
For the farmers own use, which means
the specified essential requirements already
designated, it matters little whether his
horse be able TO- trot mile in 2:17 or not,
but il is matter of considerable Importance
that he does not resemble that largest of all
quadruPe6s-the elephant-to such degree
as TO seriously impede locomotiOn.
Size other things being equal, is in this
case the measure of efficiency. Then the adj

the smallest horse, but is of that weight and
symmetry which will enable him to satisfac-
torily perform all kinds of work but should
weigh from 1850 to l,250 which, With the
above definitions, viii Justly render him the
