POULTRY.

BY this time the poultry keeper should
have decided in his mind just how much
of stock he intends TO carry over or
through winter, and it will be much bet
ter 10 fatten and sell this month the SUR
plus than to keep it over for the Christ
mas holidays, for if not rs high Il price
will BE- realized now, if the cost of the
longer keeping is considered it will be
readily admitted it is wise to dispose of
the surplus at once. From ten to fifteen
days are enough to fattcn fowls for mar
kct. They should be kept 10y themselves
in rs small Il space as possible. The
norning feed should be given early and
should consist of coru meal mush, made
the same as for the table, and then after
it is cooked wheat middlings should be
stirred ia uutil the nush is free from
sickness aud will cTumbic we'll. Every
other day add to each two quarts of food
u tablespoonful Of pulvcrizcd charcoal; ut
noon feed meal, leaving out the mid
dings, aud iustcad add all the table
scraps you can get and sOme finely chop
ped cabbage; at might feed corn and a
little buckwhcat. Every other day at
noon may also bc gjven corn that has been
boiled until il has swollen about twice its
natural size. Give no drink until after
they have eaten all the food they will;
milk is best if you can spare l.. Never
feed Anything for ut least twelve hours
before killing, and the last feed then
should be soft food. Celery tops imparta
Saney flavor to the meat. Fowls thus
treated will fatten very rapidly and the
ilesh be tender and juicy. There should
always be an open shed facing the south
with the other sides boarded up, and 4
board foot wide across the front ut the
bottom, and in this shed, during the win
ter months, in Indictment weather and
when the ground is covered with ice or
snow, leaves should be scattered loosely
and grain thrown in for the fowls to hunt
after. BE liberal in feeding, for you can
rest assured there is nothing made OH
poorly fed fowls. Poultry require, If
tney are ueslTeu to nc luoit"oA0, iitti0
more food than merely enough 10 keep
them from starvation. The more they
cat the more eggs and meat they will fur
nish. Let me once again remind the
reader here that if the fowls commence
the winter in good condition, and are kept
in that way, and are in any but freeze-to-
death quarters, they will lay during the
coolest weather. let every farmer keep
a strict account, debtor ana credit, with
his fowls, commencing any time in the
year, and he will find, at the regular mar
kct prices, every hen will clear him from
one to one dollar aid fifty cents, to say
nothing about the valuable guano, which
is more than worth hen food.

REMEDY FOR SORE THROAT.

Some people innocently regard common
sore thrOit rs matter of little cOnse-
gmence. This is a great mistake. That
dry hacking cough, bodies no good, 1t is
conclusive evidence of some Inflammation
about the throat. How many people do
YOU know of with chronic affections of
The throat, liberated sore throat, laryn-
gifts, bronchitis, &c, ask any of them and
they will tell you, that it all started from
common sore throat. The "Seven Springs
Mass" is undoubtedly the best remedy
for such complaints that you can get. Two
or three applications will cure any case of
ordinary sore throat, or the use of few
bottles any chronic case. Ask your drug
gist for "Seven Springs Mass" 1t will
pay YOU to keep It in the house for throat
complaint, alone.

states in the DAILY Herald of that city, as
follows: We have much pleasure in bear
lug testimony 20 the efficacy of st. Jacobs
Oil. Its success has been particularly
marked in one case of lameness, that or Il
very valuable horse suffering from severe
sprain of the back sinews, so severe as to
DEFY the usual remedies. Other remedies
having failed, we were induced to try St.
Jacobs Oil and after using it for few
DAYS, the lameness, which was almost
chronic, entirely disappeared, and the
horse has since stood constant work. We
have also used the Oil most successfully
for bruises. 1t is remedy that should be
at hand in every stable.

On Friday afternoon. as Avery was sitting by
the stove cutting his finger nails with, q pen:
his wife regarding some act Of Hinckleys.
The wife seized him by the hair and swore
that she would Kill him before morning. and
then go with Hinckley. Ayery's knife fell to
the floor. and she picked 1t up and stabbed
him twice. Avery then knocked her down, and
stabbed her several times uni she was dead.
He then cpt his own throat, but viii probably
he, intended 70 die with her.; II loved her " he
said. and did not want to live without her."
There was no witness to the tragedy and II
