USEFUL INFORMATION.

From advance sheets of the American Agricut-
turist for December we take the following items OF
interest:
Clover Chat for Poulry.-It may be new idea
to some poultry BREEDERS this one OF feeding clo-
yer chaff to poultry during the winter, but many
successful breeders feed large quantities OF it each
season. On every farm where clover hay is made
and fed, large quantities of the chaff collect on
the barn floor. This should be gathered up daily
and put away in barrels or boxes for the poultry
to use, the fine pieces of beads and leaves which
compose the chaff being the very choicest part OF
the hay. The poultry will eat quantities OF this
dry, if it be supplied in conveniently arranged
boxes SO made as to prevent the birds from vast
ing it, The best way to feed the finest portion of
it is with the mixed feed. They relish it exceed
ingly, and it goes far towards taking the place of
green food, which is not always obtainable during
the winter months.
Care of House Plants.-As the cold increases,
greater care will be needed in heating the green
house. With the window garden, continuous
high temperature is often cause OF failure. En-
deavor to have the temperature at night ten or
fifteen degrees less than in the day .....Moisten

NEW jersey ENAMEL PAIN? T!
ALWAYS AHEAD.
THE MARYLAND INSTITUTE


Persons who have passed by the Maryland In
stitute lately have been struck by the tranSfor-
nation in the appearance of the building pro-
duced by the repainting of the entire structure
in attractive and tasteful colors. One OF the OIL
Gals of the Institute stated to q Aeacs reporter
that the renovation of the building was accom-
plished by means OF the appropriation recently
made by the Mayor and City Council of Balti-
more. The work was done under the personal soma
inspector of buildings, and only the very pest
material was used. The paint used was that
manufactured by the New Jersey Enamel Paint
Company, the excellence of which has become
known to the public through the fact that it has
been also used upon the american and Sun build
ings, Ford's Grand Opera House, the Carrollton
and many other conspicuous structures. Mr.
Oster was requested by the president OF the In
stitute and several of the directors to use this
paint when the appropriation was made. He was
at first diSinclined to acquleSce in the SUGGESTION
owing to the fact that he did not believein ready
mixed paints. Hisoppostion arose from the fact
that he had experienced the worthlessness OF
many articles put upon the market under the
name of ready-miXed paints some of which We're
limitations of the article suggested by the instl-
tute officials and none of which were satisfacto-
~ to a gentleman so thoroughly capable OF 1udg-
ing the excellence of paint as Mr.. Oster. When,
However, his attention had been called to the
practical demonstration of the qualities OF this
paint, he consented, with his usual courtesy, to
The wish of those who had urged him to use the
article, and the result has more than equaled the
anticipations of those who had urged the use OF
this paint.
Mr.. c. P. Knight, 90 West Lombard street, who
q the general agent here, stated to Ne0s repor-
ter that he had been selling the paint since 1871,
and that in not single instance had it failed to
give satisfaction to his customers. He also stated
that sample cards showing the different colors
were furnished gratis, on application to him by
mail or in person. The numerous large buildings
upon which the paint has been used are an ample
guarantee of its exceptional merit, and 1t Will pay

quently Ladd married again. His divorced wife,

Criticising Statistical Exaggeratiops.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Jou rna,:
Will you lend me a little of your valuable
space to let the light of IA few facts shine upon
two statements of Messrs. Jones and Smalll
Mr.. Jones has said, in effect, that 10000 men
of these United States fill drunkard's graves
every year; and such statement has been made
by others many times before. Have these reck
less reformers ever reflected what proportion
this would bel Let us see.
The present population of the United States
is estimated to be 55,O0O,0OO, of which about
half. or q, 900, 0O0 are males. The total annual
death rate is about IA per 1000, say $50, OOu
males OF all ages But nearly one-half of thesa
deaths are of children under the age of ffteens
and 1t is manfestly absurd to assert that DRINKS
enEess Is rife among youths of such tender years.
therefore we may assume 200, 0G0 as the annual
number of deaths of males over the age of fteensI
OF whom. according to Mr.. Jones. 60. 600, OF
about 3O per cent, are deaths of shame and dis
honor. Further comment is needless save the
following The actual number of reported,
deaths attributable, directly and indirectly, to
alcohol is about 1900 yearly. to which numbes
an addition of 800 more to cover deaths by vios
lence, accident or suppression OF the factsf
should be ample. And pray, is not that show
ing bad enough, without resorting to serious
even IL unintended, perversion of the facts, 10
create a sensation?
In the same manner may be shown the falsity
of Mr.. Smalls assertion that 600, 900 men of this
nation are so corrupted by drink to spend
their entire time in intoxication and idleness
Taking the male population of this country,
above the age of fifteen at 100000, he would
have US believe that per cent. of them ara
drunken idlers!
Now to the false and wicked statement OF
them both, attacking the virtue of the women
and honor of the men of our fair city. Ths
census of 1880 gives Indianapolis a population of
10000; the true population at present cannot
much exceed 80 000 of which one-half, or 40 900.
are females, and of this number two-thirds. or
say 25000 are over ten years of age Who will
believe, in the light of these facts. that 5000. or
20 per cent, of women and girls not
only unchaste, but walk the streets by night in
public shamel The gentlemen claim to have ths
authority of some of our citizens for their wild
assertions; but they have taken no pains to-
verify that assertion, but quote 1t approvingly
again and again, do not believe myself in error
for holding them responsible for the publication
OF such an Infamous libel Let their zeal be
tempered with discretion and their discourses
with truth; and then. if there is any good they
can do community, they will find it easier to be
accomplished. ROLAND.
