HOOdWinking a Hen,

THE NOVEL SCHEME OF AN OHIoAN TO IN.
CREASE HIS YIELD OF EGGS.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
Mr.. Ingenius Workhard has performed a great
service for his country, it will be observed, and
he deserves crow-mo from every thoughtful
citizen. OF course, he will not receive one from
every thoughtful citizen, but if he did it would
be no more than he deserves.
Mr.. Workhard was the happy possessor of a
good fat hen, which, like other good fat hens.
laid one egg day, including Sundays. Mr.
what his good fat hen accomplished in this d.
rectiOn, SO he set about to devise WAYS and
means by which it would be persuaded to add
to the daily delivery. Coaxing proved (hen)
fIuitless and cruel treatment was in vain.
Workhard wracked his brain and studied. AT
last he hit upon plan.
90
nest with false bottom was constructed
1t worked automatically in such way that
when the good fat hen laid her accustomed
egg it would go beyond the seeming limits of
tie nest and peacefully repose beneath the
false bottom away from gallinaceous sight
accustomed to look into the nest after she had
deposited her egg, In order to assure herself
, that 1t was really there before beginning her
glee1ui cackle. The first time the ingenious
nest was put in position the hen was nearly
shocked over the ropes in one round with
astonishment when She found no egg. Con
Sternation was on her face. 1t occurred to the
honest hen, however, that she had made mis-
take. She was off her base. She had laid no
egg: So like the good hen she was she immedi.
ately proceeded to lay another.
5000
The scheme worked we'll. Workhard gath
cred In two eggs day for some time and then
yearned for more. The nest was then altered
SO that two eggs would drop through the false
bottom instead OF one and third egg was laid
by the hen. The old hen thought it was mighty
1unny, but being unsuspicious she did not sus-
pect. The good work went on and the number
of eggs which suddenly disappeared was in
creased gradually until the good fat hen every
day laid . U U U O O 600

Telegraphers' Paralysis.

"During the past three weeks have
been unable to use my pen, +" said Supt.
Walker, of the city's g lcctrical de-
partment, "and have been compelled
to dictate my correspondence. l am
suffering from telegraphers' paralysis.
My right armis useless, rendered so by
my working in and around batteries,
testing their strength and from the
repeated shocks have received.
"Anyone handling tho keys of an
operators board is subject to this all
thent, 1t is first observed in the mus
cles of the arm, which become be-
numted after hard days work. A
few months after the first shock the
stoutest operator will succumb. MY
physician has had me under treatment
for month, but as yet does not ap-
pear to have benefited me much.
"Any muscular work, such as lifting
heavy packages, I can readily accom-
plish, but it is only with difficulty
that can button my coat. Last sum-
mer our chief operator complained of
pain in his arm, and l insisted upon
him taking a complete rest, and since
his return he has not been attacked.
On the night Of election, when the re-
turns came pouring in on us, one of
our best men was struck and was COM
PEELED to give up"
Supt. Gill Of the Western Union
operating rooms, said that many men
after serving the company for many
years were compelled to throw up
their positions on account of this form
of paralysis. Many mistakes have
been traced to the same source, as the
slightest pressure on the key will
produce other than the letter
the operator wishes to indicate. He
will often charge the mistakes to a
defect in the machinery, but in the end
must admit of his inability to work.
When an operator is first attacked he
will simply attribute it to over-work,
but he soon finds that his keen sense
of touch has disappeared. In nearly
every case it is o first-class operator
that is afflicted. A good transmitter
is paid large salcry, but must keep
continually working at his board,
while second or third-ratc man has
many resting spells which allow him
to stretch his PHILADELPHIA

equivalent to fifteen large Leyden jars

chance he touched the arm of the ma

sire to see the effect Of this force upon q

peculiar Qualification in experimenting

How to Prevent Ergotlsm in Cattle.

The conditions most favorable for
the growth of the ergot are not we'll
understood, but it is nevertheless true
seasons than in others. Warm moist
weather favors the development OF
fungi generally, and we doubt if ergot
is any exception to the rule. We have
observed it most frequently upon
grasses growing in low wet meadows
during rainy seasons. Thorough
draining of wet land would probably
diminish the amount of ergOt in u
meadow. The favoring conditions of
a wet season of course are not under
the control of the farmer. The ergot-
ted grains are not fully developed un.
til the grass is ripe, therefore it is a
wise precaution to cut the grass at, or
soon after, tho period of Towering.
This is the best time to cut grass for
hay. The development of crgotism is
favored by exposure to cold and an
insufficient water supply. Animals
properly stabbed and watered in win.
ter, may feed upon slightly ergottcd
hay, without serious injury. When
ergot poisoning is suspected in an
animal. it should have a complete
change Of food, with Epson salts rs a
physic, followed by mashes, roots,
ETC., with warm stables and abund.
ance of pure water. In severe cases,
when limb or portion of one is
gangrened, treatment is of little avail
and the animals should be killed. II
may be several years before another
outbreak like that of last winter oc.
ours, but farmers should be on their
guard. able to detect ergot in their
hay and, when it is abundant, refuse
to endanger the lives of their herds

More Brain-Power on the Farm.

About the best use q farmer can
make of himself is. to devote the
present long winter evenings to an in
crease of his mental activity. Farms
differ in their prodactiveness. mainly
according to the amount Of intelli-
gence that is brought to their cultiva.
tion. Brain-power may be increased
by thorough knowledge of the pres
ent condition of the farm. and its
worth as a machine for making money.
What crops have paid, and what have
been raised and sold at lossp What
per cent has it paid on the capital in.
vested? In the case of the grain, what
secured itp Was it the manure ap-
Piled or the frequent tillage, or the ex-
ira amount of rainfsllp In case of
loss, was it the want of fertilizers, was
the crop choked by weeds, or was the
seed poor, and the crop damaged by
late plantingP This accounting for
failures is as profitable as Dragging
over big crops. without making any
record of the process of obtaining
them. Brain power may be increased
by planning improvements There
may be several acres of peat-swamp
or bog meadow, producing only brush
and bog hay, hardly worth cutting.
There is good outlet. and IL can be
