and an immense bushy tail. The other
is smaller. and doesn't seem to be full
grown. The little one has kept his
spirits up pretty we'll. and occasionally
amuses the boys by jumping in after
the sticks which they throw into the
water. But for the last few days the
big one. whose name was Prince. had

THE OUTLOOK FOR POULTRY.

Most kinds of farm products are low.
and have been so during the past sea-
son. The reverse, however, is true of
eggs and poultry. As country in
creases in wealth and population these
articles are certain to advance in price
whether other articles of food are high
or low. This has been conclusively
shown in Great Britain. which now OBJ
tains large proportion of the eggs
and fowls consumed from countries on
the continent The like has been
shown in the New England and middle
states, which now depend largely on
the western states and Canada for their
supply Of eggs and poultry. Strictly
fresh eggs are always in demand at
high prices Savory and well-fattened
fowls will find purchasers when other
kinds of meat sell slowly. Observa-
ton shows that the most fowls and
eggs are produced by small farmers.
who are content to make a living by
the production of little things. As q
rule, the large planters in the south
have produced few eggs and fowls for
the general market though they have
kept their own tables well supplied
with them. They have relied on cot
ton and tobacco to provide them with
money and have regarded poultry
raising as very small business. In
Kentucky turkey raising has always
received considerable attention. partly
because the young birds were found to
be useful in devouring tobacco-worms,
and partly because turkeys would OBJ
tain their living in the beech woods
during several months in the year. Be-
fore the introduction of railroads it
was easier to market turkeys than al
most any farm product as they could
be driven in focks very long distances.
Observation showed that the losses in
driving turkeys to market were less
than with cattle. hogs, or sheep. The
large farmers in the west at first gave
little attention to producing more
fowls and eggs than were wanted for
the supply Of their own tables. While
game was cheap and plenty the price
Of fowls was low, and the cost and diff

to send eggs to market from almost

NOURISHING FOOD.

Peas, beans, lentiis, vetches. and all
the seeds belonging to that class used
as vegetables. contain rich nOurishing
matter. SAYS the AmericHn Miller, in
the same proportion as the best grains.
The special nourisiing azotic matter
found in grains, as gluten in the
cereais. aibumen in the egg. casein in
milk, muscuiin in meat, differs in those

to 81 per cent; the fecula and its de-
rivatiOns, the ,.extrine and glucinum.
from 49 10 50 per cent; the fat phos-
phOrated in one part from TO 2.8; the
mineral matters from 81 to 3.5; the
cellular matter forming the wcft Of the
seed is similar in its chemical cOmpO-
siiion 10 tine f"cula and dextrine, from
l to 3.5; and lastly, the water from 10
to 10 per cent These seeds are there
fore very nourishing food. 1t will be
of great value to know that the juice
of these seeds, when cooked, contains
the same rich aliment. 1t is only nec-
essarv to take care that peas, beans,
lentils, ETC., are not put into boiling
water, as that would cause them to
harden instead OF soften, and prevent a
solution of the vegetable. The water
must contain as little lime rs possible.
and the vegetable must be put into it
before it commences to heat. Legsi-
mems are especially valuable on ac-
count OF the peculiarly of having the
richest phosphoric parts of all sub
stances in the group of albumens
which form for mankind the complete
aliment tor the constitution, as we'll as
for the nervous system. Especially is
such food nourishing to the brain.
Comparing grHins with legumens. we
find that the former contains Is per
cent. of the alDuminous azotic sub
stances, similar in their constituent
parts and nourishing qualities to the
albuminous fibrin, casein. musculin,
and legumen. The principal albumin
Gus substance of grain is gluten; called
also tibrin of gluten, or vegetable
fbrin, in the same way as the legu-
men has been called vegetable casein.
The gluten in the cereals represents
the legumen OF peas. beans, lentils.
and other seeds of the same vegetable
kind. These two substances are con-
sidered to be of the same nourishing
value, except that the legumen is
richer in phosphorus than the gluten.
The grain contains 60 per cent. of
fecula, z of gluten. 1.2 of fat-of which
one part is phosphorus. similar to the
legumens-1.6 of mineral matter, IL
of cellular matter, and IA per cent of

ton of nourishing matter in the legu-
minous seeds is from "a 10 81 per
cent, while the nourishiny substances
of grain do not exceed Is Der cent

CATTLE DISEASE.
DR.. Salmon, Chief of the Bureau of
Animal Industry Says it is
PIeurO Pneumonia,

CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-Some days ago the
Chicago live stock exchange passed resolu-
lions and forwarded them to Commissioner
Loring, of the department of agriculture, ex-
pressing doubt as to the truth Of the reports
OF the bureau of animal industry concerning
the existence Of pleuro-pneumonia in the
west, and proposing, as an experiment, to
bear all expenses of placing ten head of cat
tie in pasture with the alleged infected
herds, to learn whether they would contract
the disease. Commissioner Loring referred
this communication to DR.. d. E. Salmon,
chief of the bureau of animal industry, for
such action rs he might deem advisable. DR..
Salmon's reply is furnished the Associated
Press by the Breeders Gazette. He traces the
existing disease from its source in herd of
unregistered Jerseys bought by c. r. c. Dye,
near Baltimore last fall and taken TO Troy,
Ohio; it shows how the contagion
spread by the distribution of these cattle and
by the distribution from herds thus infected,
covering in this way all points at which the
cattle have died recently of alleged peuro-
pneumonia, or have been examined by the
bureau and been pronounced afflicted with
the lung plague. That it is genuine couta-
proven by the concurrence of every compe-
tent veterinarian who has seen post mortems
| of these cattle made. He points out that
these involuntary experiments by cattle own
ers have been on much larger scale than
that proposed by the stock exchange;
that six hundred head of cattle have
been exposed, and that while
in the largest herds the effect of such con-
tagion is only beginning to be apparent no
less than ninety head have died or been
killed as the result of having thus contracted
the lung plague. He says it would take from
| three to five months to complete the proposed
experiment, which has already been tried
more thoroughly than this would try it, and
that to suspend the efforts to stamp out this
| menace to western herds in the mean time,
would be criminal. He, therefore, declines
the proposition of the stock exchange, and
refers it to those whose cattle have been
! slaughtered for facts as to the disease in
| their herds.

A PROSECUTED WIDOW.

Her Lifs Jidde Miserable and Her Hath
Destroyed by Burglars and Ghosts.
Mrs. Rosanna Evans is widow
residing at 131 Lamberton street,
in this city. She was brought up in Trenton
but after her marriage lived in Bethlehem,
Pa, till 1882, when her husband died and
her brother-in-law was killed on the railroad.
They were in rather comfortable circum-
stances, and Mrs. Evans came back to Tren-
ton with her three children. Suit for $4,000
damages was begun by her against the COM
pany on whose railroad her brother-in-law
had been killed. The suit wore on and the
money spent in prosecuting it made her
comparatively poor.
A few weeks since it became
noised about the neighborhood
that the full damages had been
awarded, ever since Mrs, Evans life has
been made miserable by the attempts of some
unknown persons to get possession of the
money. The house has been attacked night
after night and different neighbors have seen
the alleged burglars, who invariably fed
when disturbed at their work. The Singular
feature is after one or two efforts to force an
entrance the unknown parties gave up tina t
part Of the scheme and since then have con-
tented themselves with.stoning the house.
Officers Hibbs and MCGOWAN were at work
on the case several nights, but their pres
ence seemed to have the effect of keeping
away the mysterious persons. Several
young men of the neighborhood have also
set up at different nights in Mrs. Evans
kitchen and tried to make a capture. The
house was stoned during their presence, but
when they started out all they could see was
tall young man IN dark clothes, who fled
up the water power bank, which Is In the
rear, and escaped.
One night the neighbors gave chase as
soon as the stoning began. They found a
man behind the house, who lay down and
feigned drunkenness. When he was let go,
however, aud got safe distance away he
took to his heels and ran at high rate OF
speed. Mrs. Evans is very sick from anx-
iety. Her daughter said tonight that the
suit had not been won yet and no money
had been received. Some Of the neighbors
{ ink the intruder is ghost, but others have
,countered man providing around. The
Ter evening Mrs. Evans started to go down
liar. AS she opened the cellar door &
young man sprang out and escaped. The
dark path along the water power behind the
house affords an excellent chance for burglar!
to escape. So many men have been after the
wealth Mrs. Evans is supposed to have thai
the back fence has been brokon down by
| them.
