GOOD FOOD FOR HENS.
Corn, Skfm-Nilk and Plenty of Good Ven
tilation Will Make Healthy Fowls.

Corn, Skfm-AIilk and Plenty of Good Ven
tilation Will Make Healthy Fowls.
We have frequent warnings against
the perils of feeding hens too much
Indian corn, from people who affect
poultry wisdom, and write for the agri-
cultural papers. Where one hen suf-
fers from excess of corn, we venture to
say, ten suffer from too little. Too
little feed is the besetting sin of the
rural districts. We live there and hap
pen to know; people grumble because
they get only six or seven dozen eggs
year, change breeds often, make
crosses, and thus their yards swarm
with all sorts of barnyard mongrels, as
a poor substitute for full rations.
Nothing but feed in the hopper will
make hens grind out De eggs. If corn
was dangerous, or narrow quarters, for
thirty light Bramah hens, we should
have found it out this summer. Early
in May, after the garden stuff began to
come up, we shut up the hens in an old
building about fifteen feet square, with
out floor, and with sides and roof of
unscrupulous ventilation, 1t is legacy
of past generations, and had worn it
self out as a carriage house many years
ago. It is standing witness that
ventilation is good for fowls. The
rations have been corn, given three
times a day, kept in a box, generally
about six quarts day, a little more
added when the box was found empty,
broken clam shells kept in another box
constantly on hand-a part of the SKIM
milk and buttermilk from one cow, a
pail of water from the pump every
morning, and a run of an hour before
sunset upon the lawn, where there was
an abundant supply of grass. Two APP
plications of kerosene, from the lamp
filler, to the perches, have kept the
fowls from free lice, and the health of the
flock has been remarkably good. The |
egg production has been abundant, and |
if there has been any danger in con-
slant supply of corn, the hens have not |
found it out. The eggs have been well |
fert lized, and the chickens strong and |
healthy. The theory of feeding has
been that we get the most profit from |
fowls when we give them all they can |
eat, and sufficient variety of animal |
and vegetable food. Milk has been the |
supply of the former, and corn of the |
latter. We have come to the conclu- |
sion that there is call for reform in |
poultry keeping. Too much liberty |
and low feed is bad for hens.-Ameri-
can Ag7icalturist.

PETTICOATS.
A Garment Which Is Now Essentially
Feminine, But Which Was First Worn
by Men.

A Garment Which Is Now Essentially
Feminine, But Which Was First Worn
by Men.
Of all garments the petticoat is as
essentially proper to women as breeches
are to men, and scores can find no
mightier weapon with which to mark
down an unsexed man or woman than
represent either in the one garment of
these twain which belongs to the other.
Yet it is remarkable that the petticoat
was first worn by men. We hear moth
ing of women's petticoats before the
Tudor period.
1t is well known that the garment
was at first not skirt at all, but as the
name denotes, little coat. How it
came to be shifted below the waist is
hard to be understood, unless the
.'petite coat" was made with long
skirts for the sake of warmth, and in
such case it was as much petticoat as
we understand it as anything else.
Then probably when the body of the
garment was discontinued, the same
name was still retained.
In the time of Charles III. men
actually wore petticoat breeches, a
fashion introduced from France, of
which Randall Holmes says 1.-The lining
was lower than the brooches, tied above
the knee. ribbons up to the pocket
holes, half the breadth of the breeches,
then ribbons all about the waist
band, and shirt hanging out"
and before then we find knights,
as we know from their effigies, wear
ing short skirts of MALE reaching half
way down the thighs. There is so
often such remarkable similarity
between peculiar STYLES of armor and
ordinary fashions in dress that we are
not surprised to find modish men in the
reigns of Henry VII, and of his son
wearing long plated skirts in all man.
ner of rich stuffs, which were only not
petticoats because they were called
bases.
When Henry VIII. went to meet
Anne of Cleves he was, according to
Hall. habited ''in a coat of velvet
somewhat made like a frocke, en-
broidered all over with fiatted gold
of damaske, with small lace mixed be-
tween of the same gold, and other
laces of the same going transverse

How 1t Manifests Itself i'm Animals and
How to Treat 1t.
Writing from Morning Sun, Ia, a
correspondent describes disease in a
mare which might be called extreme
irritability, though it is considerably
more than that. In the first place she
is light-hcaded, to use familiar term.
She is unable to walk steady at times,
and there are some symptoms like that
of blind-staggers. A peculiar symptom
is that the mare imagines her own
shadow to be another animal and
dashes at it savagely. This of itself
shows an affection of the brain. 1t is a
symptom of insanity, and horses do be-
come insane. Several veterinarians
have examined this mare and are una
BILE to tell what the trouble is. The
case before it had progressed as far as
it has now, was brought to our atten-
ton, and we pronounced the case one
of ind gestion. We prescribed for it,
but the animal would not take the pre-
scription. This we think was very I'M
fortunate Our prescription was prac-
tically charcoal, mandrake, gentian,
aloes, sulphur, copperas and iron. We
have not the prescription before us, but
whatever its ingredients were the pow
der was equivalent to this. 1t might
have been the charcoal powders, which
are about the same as the above. The
mare should have been compelled to
take the medicine; and we believe that
it would have helped her. Of course,
at so great distance from the patient,
we labor under serious disadvantages.
If we could see her there might be
symptoms which would alter our opin-
ion. But looking at the case from this
distance. we are still firmly of the opin-
ion that the difficulty arises primarily
from the stomach. and as the majority
of diseases do originate in the stomach
in consequence of improper feeding, we
have deemed the matter worthy of an
article. If any one who reads this has
even been afflicted with indigestion, or
dyspepsia, or inflammation, or irritable
ity of the stomach, we will venture the
opinion that they could not read the
very minute description of the disease
in this mare. without thinking that she
acts Just IS he has often felt. If there
is anything in the shape of an organ in
the system that is not involved in indi-
restion no patient that we ever saw
suffering from such trouble ever gave
evidence of it. The kidneys. liver
and brain soon fail to perform
their regular functions, and the
l,,nos are more or less out
of order. The brain especially quickly
loses it's usual power, and headache
an ache that seems to be directly in the
bra in--dizziness and confusion of ideas
in the human being ensue. The mag
ination is disordered. and the patient
is unquestionably partially insane. If
the ind gest;on is permitted to GO on,
any of the organs may become perma-
nentlv diseased. We have no doubt
that permanent insanity often results
from this cause for the nervous system

it The appetite is varispIe, but gen.

Now, how do we proceed when hu.
man beings have indigestionP tThe first
thing we do is to select certain kind
OF diet. We do not give the patfeQt

composed of the flesh and bone-form-
ing foods. All know that oat meal is a
very common diet Nor the dyspeptic.
| cases it does not do well. But that IS
probably because it is somewhat too
compact for stomachs that are
very weak Its composition
is certainly proper for a diet for the
dyspeptic. If the appetite is much inn
paired we will endeavor to coax it to
apparatus. We viii do this by prepar-
ing the food in a variety of ways, and
giving different kinds of food. of about
the: same composition, We may salt it
with reasonable liberalitv to that end.
We will use tonics to improve the tone
of the stomach and to strengthen the !
system, and will be very careful "
remedy the tendency to acidity in ne
stomach. Charcoal is good fo1 his;
magnesia will accomplish it. a al sal
eratus is good. Perseveranaey in this
line viii usually be rewaYded by signs
of improvement. IF tbafe is much ner-
vousness it will be- necessary to place
the patient in a<Place where he will be
entirely undisturbed.
Now we should pursue precisely
similar course with an animal thus aft
fected. We should feed light, and feed
oil meal if we could get it, or boiled
oats, or soft mashes We would salt
pretty literally. We should give night
and morning tablespoonful of the fol-
lowing: Powdered charcoal, one pound;
mandrake, pulverized, two ounces;
gentian, four ounces; copperas,
two ounces; aloes, two ounces; sui
phur, two ounces. We would give
this in the food. If the animal
showed any such nervous symptoms as
the mare in this instance shows, we
would place her where she would not
be disturbed in the least. Keep her
free from any sort of excitement. Peo-
pie overlook the necessity of doing this.
We have known animals that defied
medical treatment, but entirely re-
covered when there was no possible
chance of excitement Our correspond

letting. We do not believe in it at all.
We are aware that some veterinarians
who are regarded as very competent,
advocate it in horses especially. 1t is
method that has outlived all possible
sound idea of usefulness by at least
fifty years. No system, human or
animal, ever had too much blood. Let
the blood remain. If the treatment
here described does not reach the case
of the mare in question, we shall be

sequence of being on the ground ought
