BREAKING UP SITTING HENS

Mr.. Geo. Mason, of Montgomery county,
Iowa, writes the Prairie Farmer that he sue
ceeds in accomplishing this sometimes diff
cult thing as follows: He has two movable
coops with Slated sides and ends, tight
roofs and ground for floor. These afford
light, air and shade, all necessary in sum-
mer. In the evening he catches the broody
hens and puts them in one of these GOODS
for four nights and days, giving, them all
they will eat and drink. On the fourth day.
toward evening, he let's them out; at dusk
they will hurry to the roost, forgetting all
about the nest. Two nights after catch
them again, using the other coop, and re-
peat alternate nights, four times. Move the
coop each day. He wants our readers to
try this and report results.

CHOLERA SYMPTOMS.

This is the season of tile year for chicken
cholera. The usual symptoms of this dis
ease are as follows: TIE fowl has defect
ed, sleepy, dropping appearance, is very
thlrsty, has slow, stalking gait, and gapes
often. Sometimes the fowl staggers and
tails from weakness. Comb and wattles
lose their natural color, generally turning
pale, but sometimes dark. There is diarrh-
Cea with greenish discharge, or like sulphur
sand water, afterwards it becomes thin and
'fFothy. Prostration comes on, the crop fills
with mucous and wind, breathing is heavy
and fast, the eyes close, and in few hours
the fowl dies.

LOUSY CHICKS.

Young chicks are liable to great many
diseases, so much so that the farmers wife
often thinks their lives hang on very slen-
der thread. When chick is hatched out
its first work is, and continues to be for a
couple OF months, to put out feathers. If
they are of healthy stock, on suitable
ground, and ted regularly with suitable
feed it would seem they ought to get along
all right. But there is still another impor-
tant condition: they must be free from YER
min. If on examining ten day chick the
lice are found so thick about the neck and
throat that they stand upon end like quilts
upon porcupine, it may be set down that
the lice have the best of the bargain and the
chicks days are numbered, unless relief
come at once. Often the first thing is to

CLOVER IN MONTANA.

A farmer who read our article in last
weeks paper on the subject of improving
meadows, asks, "Why did you not advise
the sowing of clover? Will it not grow in
this climate?" Our reply is that the prin-
cpal cause for advising the sowing of tim
othy is that more hay can be grown from
an acre of it than any other grass. There
nave been as yet but very few efforts
maze at growing clover, but as far as we
nave peen able to ascertain good crops were
raised. With some farmers who tried clo-
'er some difficulty was had in getting the

ly as worthless feed AS can he imagined.
This seems to be due to the greater amount
of sugar in the culms of the former.
The above brietiy-recited facts present a
cogent reason why the farmer who cuts
anything more than the most inconsidera-
bic amount of grass, should seek to have
succession in his meadows and not sow
them all to the same grass. BY reference
to my farm diary, find that began on my
orchard grass this year June t. on my clo-
yer June II, timothy June %, while | have
to-day (July 3 just finished some late tim
othy, grown on very low overflowed bot
toms from March sOwings. Thus was en-
abled to cut some before wheat harvest and
some after, and yet secure each kind at its
best. Before harvest, hands are plenty and
cheap; after harvest, everybody else is cut
ting grass.
| Succession in meadows gives variety of
feed, which is less perfectly secured by mix
ing the grasses. | do not like this plan. 1t
gives perfection Of pasture, but, for meadow
the different grasses had better grow by
themselves. Clover needs a stiff grass to
hold it up, it is true, but it is not suitable
for mixture with timothy on account of
the difference in their times of rpening. 1t
does well enough with orchard grass in this
respect, but the orchard grass extermnates
it, White clover gives good bottom and
thickening to timothy, but tends to smother
it out; but it will come in. and | do not
mind reseeding timothy meadow once in
while, for white clover makes excellent
hay. Otherwise | prefer not to have nv
grasses mixed in the meadow. | would
rather feed to stock alternately from differ
ent mows.
Whether farmer advocates early or late
cutting, he should have succession in
meadows. The period when grass is a, the
perfect stage for hay often in the hot wealth
er of summer, embraces but few DAYS.
The meridian of value is quickly passed, the
bloom is soon gone, and orchard grass, es-
pecially, makes rapid strides in growth, and
brooks no delay.-Cor. Country Gent Ienaa,a

Green 7ogeto Sauce.-Slice about two
gallons of green tomatoes and ten large on
ions. Add to these two quarts of vinegar,
two pounds of sugar, three tablespoonfuls
OF salt, two of black pepper, one each of all
spice and cloves. Cook until tender stirring
constantly. Good with cold meat.
Breakfast Ps4fs.-On baking day, take up
little Of the dough of your bread pulling
it out to the thickness of doughnuts. cut
two and a half inches in length and drop
into boiling lard. Some cooks work into
the dough little butter and let it rise again.
They are delicious with coffee for breakfast.
Hnchtebe'ry Coke.-Two cups of sugar.
scant cup of butter, five eggs beaten separ-
ately, cup of sweet Iilk, three cups of
flour, teaspoonful of soda dissolved in
warm water; cinnamon or nutmeg to taste.
and quart of ripe huckleberries which
have been dredged with -four. Beat the
sugar and butter to a cream, add the volks.
then the milk, flour, whites, spice, soda. and
last, the fruit. Bake slowly until broom
splint comes out clean from the thickest
part.
Rh"ba1b Jam.-To six pounds of rhubarb
add six pounds of lump sugar and six large
lemons; cut the rhubarb into small pieces:
then the lemons should be sliced and the
peel cut very fine. Put the fruit (takire
out the pips from the lemons) all into an
earthen bowl, then cover it with the sugar
broken small; let it stand twenty-four
hours, after which boil it slowly for about
three quarters OF and hour, taking care it
does not stick to the pan, also not to stir
much so as to break the pieces of rhubarb.
Rats1n Pis.-One pound of stoneless raj
sins, picked, washed and chopped fine; two
lemons, peeled, the juice and seeds extract
ed, also chopped very fine; put this with
the ralsins into sauce kettle, and add the
lemon juice, and cold water enough to COW
er the whole. Stew slowly one hour: then
add one and half cupfuls of sugar; boil a
few minutes longer and add four small
crackers rolled fine and two beaten eggs.
If the mass is about the consistency of
steWed cranberries, it is right; if thicker
than that add more hot water. This will
make six pies.
Delicious Lemon Pie.-Prepare and bake
TWO crusts, pricking them several times
with fork before putting them into the
oven, to prevent them rising out of shape.
rake the juice and grated rind of one lemon,
one cupful of sugar and one cupful of hot
water; put on the stove in granite or agate
saucepan to heat. Beat the yolks of two
eggs with an even tablespoonful of corn
starch, and add to the lemon add sugar.
When cooked, put into the shells already
baked. Beat the whites of the eggs with a
little powdered sugar upon platter, with
fork or wire egg-beater; put upon the tarts
and brown in the oven.

The indications seem to favor
Blaine as against Arthur in the
contest for the Republican Presi-
Dental nomination. But the future
of the man from Maine is by no
means assured. Some of his friends
are sanguine Of his success, upon
the third ballot, and the fact seems
to be that his leaders are working
with better management and vim
than those Of Arthur. The other
candidates have as yet nothing like
prospects. Upon the chances Of
Arthur and Blaine depend the OPP
p,oc,rtunities Of the, others. As we
have before intimated, as between
Arthur and Blaine, we should pre-
fer Blaine, conceiving that his re-
cord as Secretary of State, during
Garfeld's administration, was more
manly and American than that
which has been made by the pre-
sent government But, in our opin'
ion. neither of these candidates will
be hard to beat if the Democracy

the Intellectual fitness for the high

question, and such President the
country now requires. We cannot
90, however, to the extreme OF our
contemporary, the Times Democrat,
and hold that Mr.. Tildenis the sole
hope of the Democracy. We have
other men as emphatic in their De-
mocracy, as illustrious for their
ability, as determined in their pur-
poses to bring the government back
to the landmarks of the Constitu-

democratic administration as Mr.
