while in the southern portion of the state

out of several hundred replies TO their circu-

that the water supply is failing year by year,
and the smaller springs and streams which
we're never known to fail uuti recently now

to have attracted the attention of the people

FumiEatIng with Sulphur as a Farme rs
Remedy.

Repeated experiments have proved that
Group in fowls can be speedily cured by the
fumes of burning sulphur or birthstone known
Rs sulphurous gas. safe method of admin
iBtering this is 10 take four strips of board
about two feet in length and from four to six
inches in width Nail these strips together
30 as TO form the side of box. Nail boards
ACROSS the bottom 30 as TO make a shallow
box that will hold earth. Place three OF four
inches Of soil in the box and set it in the
poultry house OF stable where the sick fowls
or other animals are Take strong iron
kettle, one that is wide and shallow is best
adapted to the purpose, and put in two or
three shoveliuls of live Goals from the stove
or fireplace. Set the kettle in the box of
soil and sprinkle on q couple of spoonfuls of
sulphur The fumes will soon penetrate ev-
cry part Of an ordinary sized room aud cause
the croupy fowls 10 cough and sneeze, bring
ing up mucous and plegm through the nos.
trils and mouth. Repeat this treatment three
times daily for three days. If the room is
small, q single spoonful of sulphur will be
sufficient each time. This remedy has been
used with excellent results by individuals for
catRrrh or cold in the head.
When cattle in barns are infested with lice
fumigate the tie-up twice a day for thrt e
days and the vermin will disappear. For d
large stable greater quantity Of sulphur
should be used and the windows left open
during the process. A physician who has
tested the merits Of sulphurous gas makes the
following statement: For children with
Group or whooping cough catarrh OF any af-
fectiOns Of the bronchial tubes, Inflammation
of the lungs, etc, give me fumigation with
sulphur before all the physic swallowed into

The journal Of Chemistry gives the ant
credit for doing useful work in orchards
The Journal says
The little creatures would seize the worms
feeding on the leaves Of an elm tree, and
bear them in their powerful grip TO their nest
in the ground The birds that prey upon the
worms could not do the work in a week in
our orchards that these ants were doing IN Rn
hour
There are two sides to this question 10
this neighborhood the buds of cions set in
the spring have often been eaten or in some
way destroyed so that, though the bark Of
the cion remained green and the wood full
there was no growth. 1t WAS at first, sup
posed that the mischief was caused by bird,
but one who had a number of cons killed in
this way says that be discovered ants 10 the
act Of cutting away the buds. We examine d
grated stocks where the buds we're being de-
stroyed, and found line OF ants running up
and down the grated limbs, but we saw moth
ing to make the proof col elusive that they
were guilty of the offence our neighbor
charged. The evidence was. however, rs-
ther against then. the buds having the ap-
pesrRnce Of hsvitg teen gnawed rather than
pecked by bird, and no worms which might
have caused the trouble being discovered.
We have frequently seen ants feeding on
dead insects not killed by themselves We
have also seen them attack worms and bee
ties that we're disabled, when they bRppenC d
to fall in their way. We more than half sus-
pect that was what the writer in the Journal
Of Chemistry saw. The food Of many spe-
cies of ants consists largely Of decaying ami
NAL and vegetable matter; they are there
fore useful as scavengers, but we are n
quite ready TO give any of the species that
are common here credit for climbing apple
trees, killing and bringing down the worms.

Products,

a Good County for Fruit and Garden
Products.
We have always claimed Windham county
10 be the best iu the state for fruit culture.
It has warm soil With natural drainage in
the larger portions Of the towns. Along the
Connecticut valley and 10 the valley Of th4
West river the climate is somevhat milder
than in other parts Of the state which, with
the character Of the soil. adapts 1t to the cul-
ture Of fruit. In the line Of this production
windham county leads all the others The
value Of orchard products in this county, &C
cording to the census Of 1850, was S9l, 56o.
The value Of orchard produces in Windsor
county-the next highest-was a trihe less,
though the cultivated area Of Windsor county
is a third larger.
The value Of orchard products Of oil kinds
sold or consumed in 1879, as shown by the
census, was nearly $40, 600 more in wiudham
county alone than 10 the three counties Of
Orleans, L,moille and Caledonia taken to-
geiher.
10 market garden products Windham coun-
Is is still farther ahead. The value Of the mar
ket garden products Of windham county sold
in 1879 was nearly $4,000, or more than
twice the value Of the garden products sold in
the counties Of Franklin, Lamoille, Orange
Orleans Washington and Caledonia taken to
geiher Chittenden county was next to
windham in the value Of It's garden produc s
sold, the same amounting 10 S4,7O0 less than
in Windham county
