cooperation In Hood stock.

There is no better method by which
farmers may cooperate than In the mat
Ter Of selecting stock. II q few farmers
in each community would organize, and,
with q smell contribution from each,
procure thoroughbreds for improve
ment, the expense borne by each indi-
vidual would be but little, while the
benefits to all would be very consider
able. Individual effort is often insig-
nificant, but cooperative effort is pow
erfEl. BY union farmers may easily
procure the finest specimens OF Short
horns, Devons, Jerseys, Holsteins,
Herefords and Angus; the best strains
OF thoroughbred Clydesdale. Percheron
and trotting horses; The fine-wooled
Merinos, the massive Cotswolds and the
elegant Shropshires. They may resort
to the Berkshire, Essex, Chester
or Poland China for Improvement
OF their swine as they may pre-
fer, while all the advantages per-
tanning to farm machinery may
be secured and the cost OF production
made easier, and the crops increased.
In fact, there is no limit to corporation
and the subject ID we'll worthy the at
tention of farmers of all classes. Toi d

OF well-known merit is not always with
in the province Of some st~ock-raisers
and farmers but when by cooperation
the investment becomes Of q proportions

Cleanliness is one of the precautions;
cleanliness Of the person, the house, the
entire premises, the neighborhood. All
decaying substances should be covered
deep with fresh, dry earth, all stagnant
pools should be drained; a free use of
copperas water, lime water, dilute
sulphuric acid, carbolic acid, chlor-
ide Of lime, one or all, will chem
ically cleanse foul places. Wholesome
food, sufficient exercise, abundant sleep,
should be insisted on. Under-ripe and
oyer-ripe fruits and vegetables should
be avoided. ALI strains of body or
mind should be avoided. Fear. worry,
nervous exhaustion, filth, gluttony,
starvation-allinvit cholera. Aserene
mind and sound body repel il and re-
sist its attacks.

A Newport correspondents asks how
to fry chickens a Ia Baltimore. The
ideal chicken for .his dish is young and
lender. and unless it is so really these
directions are vain. Put the frying pan,
and it should be q deep one, on the
stove, with a large tablespoonful of
lard and one of butter, after cutting up
the chicken in the usual way. When
the fat is hot lay the chicken in sprinkle
pepper and salt and -four wei it; the
flour should be busted over il through
a fine sitter; cover the frying pan, and
let the chicken cook slowly but steadily;
when one side is delicate brown turn
the chicken and sprinkle salt, pepper,
and -four over this side also; il the fat
is absorbed add enough to keep the
chicken from burning. Half to three
quarters Of an hour is long enough to
cook the chicken. Make q rich gravy
in the pan; brown it we'll. Fit is your
pleasure to add peas or mushrooms, put
them into the gravy just before serving
They are of course to be cooked first.
If you use canned ones heat them be-
fore adding them to the gravy. Pour
the gravy around the chicken ON a
platter New York Post.

A lady advises those who are troub-

in winter to use separate saucers for
the pots, and to water the plants from
the bottom by filling the saucers with

DR.. s. A. Brown, United States Navy,
states in the Medical Record that he has
found a specific to the troublesome erup-
ton produced by the poison oak OF
poison ivy so common in our woods and
along old fences. This specific he finds
In bromine, which he has used with I'M.
varying success in at least forty cases.
He uses the drug dissolved in olive oil,
cosmoline, or glycerine, in the strength
of from ten to twenty drops of bromine
to the ounce of oil, and rubs the mix
ture gently on the effected parts three
or four times a day. The bromine is sc
volatile that the solution should be re.
newed every twenty-fonr hours. The
eruption never extends after the first
thorough application, and it promptly
disappears within twenty-four hours i
the application is persisted in.

o. the effects of a broken up household,
I was astonished to sec the scCumula-
tion of trash, that for 40 yearshad been
gathering in the attics and Hobbies of
that house. There were broken chairs,
bottomless baskets, broked-down bed
steads. old tinware, and a large closet
full of garments worn by the ancestors
Of the family, whose original owners
had, full 30 years ago, returned to their
mother dust; and the relics had been
preserved al heir-looms, to perpetuate
their memory. They were exposed to
the gaze of q thoughtless crowd. and
struck of, by the a~uctioneer's hammer,
to the highest bidder. Diyested of the
best claim to veneration or respectful
memory, they were sold for the sum Of
% cents. The question arose, why such
collaborating articles of furniture
should be kept, TO cumber a
house? When a chair or bedstead
is broken, and cannot be repaired,
why is it not burned and got out Of the
way, and not kept to gather dust, and
occupy In q dwelling? If any
thing can be mended and made useful,
why Of course it is best to save il; but if
it is past redemption, there is no use in
keeping it longer. Old baskets are
neither useful MOI ornamental, and the
best use that can be made of them is to
kindle fires. Tin dishes, too, are of no
account when they are rusted so that
solder cannot stop the leaks, and why
they should be kept safe is a mystery.
Cast-off garments only breed moths IN
a house and gather impurity in the air,
and are much better in the rag-man's
cart than hanging up In the way. Econ
omy ID essential to prosperity. but there
is such a thing as carrying 1t to excess,
and this gathering up fragments" that
are of no earthly use, is folly. Old
worm-eaten boxes and barrels are far
better burned than preserved, for they
can be turned to account In that way.
l would not advise to waste anything
that can be made useful in any form
but this ever-increasing pile Of rubbish
In o house, is not economical or desira-

MIR. John Mitchell Of Orange county,
N. Y, gives his experience with these
cattle in the columns Of the Country
Gentleman
My first purchase Of q Holstein was
attended by many misgiyings. / had
been brought up with Ayrshires in
their native land, and always regarded
them as the best for general dairy pur-
poses. I had read OF Holsteins, and had
seen a number of them at fairs, but CON
sidered their records IS exaggerations.
Ny venture was most convincing, to me
at least, for soon after calving, my COW
easily surpassed the record claimed for
her at the time of purchase, and by
actual test gave more than the two
bess young graded COWS In my dairy,
her yield being 1906 lbs. for the
year, from two milkings a day. She
repeated the next season with IA, 1876 lbs.
to her credit, with only ordinary care,
proving herself q remarkable butter an
nnal, two days milk at height Of flow
producing six pounds, eight ounce of
butter. In 1880 and 81 my entire herd
of six, comprising one cow, two three
year-o old heifers. two two-year-olds and
one which calved at twenty-one months
old were MIXED twice q day, and with
out any grain during the summer season
averaged 1908 lbs. per head for the
year. In 1882 and '83 my entire herd
OF twelve, (only two of which were four
years old and screen were under three
years old with the same treatment av-
eraged S,213 lbs. per head.
I have more than twenty now In milk,
which began their records 1883, and
have only one complete record to show, ;
and that q heifer of the Aaggie family,
which calved In February, 1883, just out
of quarantine, and calved again January
81, 1884, not going dry at all. She
scored 6, 156 lbs. for the first season In
America. When the herd records are
completed, / expect to show an average
Of between $500 and 10000 lbs. per
head for the year and only two were
over four years old at the beginning of
their present record. These two will
complete their fourth year In milk in
May and June next. Their first three
years show averages of 1898 lbs, and
1881 lbs. per annum, respectively, and
the completion Of their fourth year will
increase the average considerably. /
believe it to be quite within the mark to
expect from herds Of matured animals
an average in excess of 5000 quarts Of
milk per annum. When bred on the
farm and properly fed and handled still
greater results may be looked for.
i have step by step discarded all
grades Of every kind substituting thor
oughbred Holsteins. and have yet to be
disappointed either with the quantity
or quality Of their product. I
have bottled and sold Holstein milk
for the last three years, and have met
with gratifying success. Notwithstand-
ing great competition, ! have always
obtained the highest market price. and
find the demand for it much greater
than Z can supply.

LOCAL MARKETS.

FORT WORTH. February S, 1851
The general market is much the same AS
shown in our last report. Yesterdays aggre-
gated sales of general mercha ndse foot up a
handsome total, and leave no room for com
plant on the part OF wholesale dealers. on
the contrary, a feeling of confidence pervades
the commercial ciic Giles of our city, and when
the past month business IL put in compar-
ison with that OF the same month for 1855,
the reason why Is readily understood. Yes
terday's cotton receipts were less than that OF
any day since the season opened. For some
weeks past the staple has found Its way TO
market in detachments on account OF Its
great scarcity throughout the country tribu.

the weather during the greater part of the
week has almost cut on receipts entirely.
Cotton men report no changes In quotations,

are of IA fill-in character and for staples only
Some good sales OF plain and checked cot
tons, glnghams, and lighter grade OF wooden
goods were made yesterday and a Few job
lots of boets and shoes were
shipped west. The gro Gerry market
continues firm, and meats OF all kinds and
lard are very still AT the advanced quotations
shown In our last report Yesterdays sales
Seem 10 indicate that the spring trade has al
ready opened In good earnest, otherwise,
wholesale dealers will again realize that
they have failed TO calculate the increase
correctly.
Country produce is without material
change. The demand for chickens continues
great, and though our quotations seem fancy
prices for poultry, they find ready sale at
ruling rates. aud dealers ind IT difficult TO

Bowie, February S.-This place and
vicinity has Just realized the much
desired and needed boon of good
rain-the first abundant rain for three
or four months. Tanks and low
places are filed, making stock water
for some time to come; the ground is
well saturated, and hence put in excel
lent condition for blowing and cul-
tivation; and lastly, our wheat, which
was suffering, has been freshened and
greatly benefited.
Business is here, as elsewhere, COM
paratively quiet though as good as
could be expected at this time of year.
In course of the ensuing six weeks con-
tracts of cattle buyers for delivery of
cattle here and ut other points on the
Il. w. u ID. G road will be filed and
we will feel the substantial benefits
arising from distribution of money
paid for the same.
The Little Wonders growing rapid
ly, and the rate at which residences are
erected in all directions is simply
amazing. The Mayes rock building
(35X90 feet is approaching completion,
and will be handsome house. A
number of rock and brick buildings on
Depot street are~proposed TO be built
during the spring and summer. Prop
erty in Bowie is steadily.enhancing in
value, and is constantly being pur-
chased by persons coming as well as
by business menfrom abroad.
