NOTES.


Mrs. L. Harrison, in the Indiana Farmer,
tells us Of the characteristics Of honey gath
cred from various plants. Apple honey Is
dark, but fno favored, resembling the arc
ma Of roses. That from the raspberry is
light and Of delicate flavor. The justly
celebrated white clover is light, and the comb
is very delicate. The linden or Eastwood
produces light brown honey, very rich in
vegetable oil. Goldenrod gives II rich and
thick and Of golden color. The autumn
honey, many seasons, appears to be mixed,
different flowers such as asters, polygonum,
and many others blooming at the same time.
Honey. dew, bsrk.lice or thug juice, is gen
orally very dark, and Of a siokening favor,
and the comb has no strength sometimes
the honey looks as IL sooty water from coal
chimney was mixed with it.
A writer lays down the following as the 81.
ements leading to the highest success In dali
ryinR l. Good COWS. 2. Clean pastures,
free from noxious weeds and offensive odors.
3. Gentle treatment. 4. Regularity in milk
ing. 8. Absolute cleanliness and purity of
utensils, buildings, packages and everything
connected with the dairy. 6. Uniform sys-
tenn in the churning and other processes Of
butter making T. Good common sense and
honesty. 8. Enterprise sufficient TO brand
all packages with name Of dairy, ano to seek
regular customers willing to pay for an extra
good product.
It is bad management TO pick apples and
pour them on the ground, and allow them to
be exposed TO rains, frost, ETC., for week
or two before placing them in the store room,
as many do. Both time and apples are lost
in such an operation, and all the fruit Is more
or less injured. II is much the better plan
to carefully sort the apples and place them
directly in the barrels as they are picked, and
haul the barrels to the cellar each evening
This will prevent any danger Of the fruit get.
ting wet or chilled, and, as a consequence, it
will keep much better.
1t will not pay to give an extra price for
eggs or fowls for the sake of pedigree or strict
purity Of blood, unless one wishes TO raise
breeding stock to sell For common pur-
poses, cross bred fowls are often more profit
able There is slso more pleasure in tend
ing flock of mixed chickens and watching
them rs they develop their plumage than
there would be il they were all alike and one
knew just how they would look.
By the last census, 10 states reported more
than 5000, 600 fowls each II states more
than 9, 600 900 each and % more than -
600 600 each. The total number of fowls in
the United States exclusive of spring hatch
ing, in 1880, was by the census returns 1885,
| 507, 1929, quite flock.
The number of fowls kept in France is
said to be about A, 900, 600. The average
number of chicks raised is three to each hen,
while the average number Of eggs per hen is
| 100 per annum.

RHI0uSNESS.

Bilious symptoms invariably
arise from indigestion, such as
furred tongue, Vomitingofbil
gtddiness, sick headache, ir-
regular bowels. The liver Sc
cretes the bile and acts like
filter or sieve, to cleanse impu-
rites Of the blood. By irregu-
larity In its action or suspen-
sions OF its functions, the bile
Is liable to overflow into the
blood, causing jaundice, salloW
complexion, yellow eyes, bill
louS diarrhDa, q languid,
weary feeling and many other
distressing symptoms. Bilious
ness may be properly termed
an Affection OF the liver, and
can be thoroughly cured by tho
grand regulator OF the liver
and hillary organs, BURD0CK
BLOOD BITTERS. 1t acts upon the
stomach, bowels and liver,
making healthy bile and pure
blood, and opens the eulVePtS

OF disease. Sold everywhere
and guaranteed to cure.

From the historical article quoted below II
appears that the ancient Britons we're also
somewhat in the poultry business, but their
fowls we're reared principally or only for
the purpose Of cock fighting. That devout
model Of piety and kingly attributes, Henry
VIII, gave his royal patronage literally for
the encouragement Of the sport and doubt
less his entertainments in that line at the
Royal Cockpit in Westminster we're better
appreciated by Parliament than Ely God
dards cock fights in the rear Of the Pavilion
at Montpelier, by the Vermont Legislature.
One Of the facts quoted should be noted by
the officers Of agricultural societies who con-
slider race course a necessary sppendage to
the fair grounds. II is this For long
time cock fighting went hand hand with
racing, and II used to be reported in the Off.
ciaT racing calendar, which was then called
the Sporting Calendar"
Cock fighting was fashionable 10 Greece at
least 500 years before Christ, aud it was
probably q very ancient sport in China,
where il is still highly popular. 10 India,
again, cock fighting is an institution of very
great antiquity. Mr.. Doyle, in his book of
poultry, assumes that the Britons practised
cook fighting before the landing of Caesar,
from the statement Of that author to the effect
that the Britons only reared their fowls for
amusement. Both Henry VIII. and James L.
we're fond OF Cooking; Oliver Cromwell
legislated against it, but Charles ii. revived
It, The Royal Cockpit at Westminster, which
was the headquarters of cock fighting, was
established by Henry VIII, and even in the
present century mains have been fought in
"a Il L L A L.. -
berless cock fights. Indeed, it may be said
that for q long time cock fighting went
hand.in hand with racing, and it used to be
reported in the official racing calendar,
which was then called the Sporting Calendar.
Taking up the Sporting Calendar of 1875,
we read that in Newcastle upon-Tyne, during
the race meeting the gentlemen Of Durham
and Northumberland fought a "main Of
cocks consisting OF thirty eight battles, and
ending in ''s draw main" 1t is said that
1000 game cocks have been killed in fights
during one week at Newcastle. The gentle
men OF the same counties fought another
main at the Durham races Of the same year,
when Northumberland won after thirty. -four
battles had been fought. Although the
matches we're sometimes made between in
dividuAls, IL was more usual for the mainI
at races to be fought between cocks belong
ing to the gentlemen of two adjoining coun-
ties. Ten guineas each battle and 100 OIL
200 on 1.-THE odd," seems to have been the
usual stakes but there was an immense
amount Of betting, and the odds were cslcu
lated 10 nicely. Hoyle gives table of odd
which is quite appalling. Mr.. Doyle men
tons q cock fight in India for "a lac of ru
pees" (el0, OO0) but it is probable that NOR,
money has been won and lost over cock fight
ing IN England than in any other country

LOOK THE POULTRY HoUsE.-A ton or more
of fAttening poultry is too valuable to leave
unguArded nights now. Where fowls are at
large and in the habit of roOsting outdoors,
they should befed at nightfall to induce them
into the house. Doors should be made &C.
cure and fitted with lock and key--an easy
and almost costless matter Let it be the
business Of some trusty person to lock the
house each night. II is 80 much better TO
lock the poultry house or the barn before
something Is stolen than after, that the course
cannot be too strongly urged. -HusbdHdman.
It is better of course to lock the stable
door before the horse is stolen than after,
and the principle applies equally well to the
door of the hen house yet in most of the
towns in Vermont there is happily not that
necessity for locks that is found in many
other parts of the country. Chickens roost
tolefabie safe here without the protection of
lock and key.
