Egg-PrOducing Food.

The following, in relation to food for
hens TO promote laying, as containing all
the elements necessary, says the Rural
Long Islander, will be found correct:
Take piece of liver. rough beef, or
even blood (about pound and boil it
to pieces in half gallon of water, adding
more when too much has evaporated.
While boiling add halt a pint of soaked
beans, the same of rice. and the same of
linseed meal. When the whole is cooked
add salt to taste, and thicken with two
parts ground oats, one part bran, one part
middlings, and one of corn-meal. Add the
mixed ground grain until the mess has
thickened to a stiff dough. II ii burns a
little no harm will be done. If milk be
convenient it NAV also be added. either
as curds, buttermilk or in any other shape.
When boiling, add teaspoonful of bread
soda to the water. This food may be
cooked in the shape of cakes and crum-
bled tor the fowls, or fed in the soft state
A tablespoonful is sufficient tor each hen
Just before adding the ground grain,
chopped clover may be placed in the boil
er also. Another good mess is to chop
clover very fine and steep it over
night in boiling water In the morning
let the water come to boil and add a
quart of fresh bullocks blood TO each gal
Ion of water, thicken with mixed ground
grain as before, and feed. Condiments.
such as red pepper, ginger. etc., should
be ted sparingly. Once or twice a week
is often enough, but all the soft food
should be sailed to taste, as salt is as es-
sential to poultry as to larger stock. AL
ways provide plenty of clean drinking
water"

Marketing Honey.

Mr.. C. P. Gillette contributes some use
full hints on this subject to the American
Rural Home, from which we make an ex-
tract:
1t is one thing to ge: good crop OF
honey, but quite another to get gooo
price for it. The relation between supply
and demand must determine the price to
be paid, and what every bee-keeper needs
to be constantly endeavoring to do is to
stimulate the demand by educating the
people in his vicinity to eat more honey.
There are many ways in which this NAV
be done to a greater or less extent. Ii
food is not pleasing to the eye it Is not
apt to get into the stomach, and II your
honey goes into the market not looking
neat and clean, very few will purchase it.
If the honey is extracted it should be put
on the market in neat, and if possible,
fancy recepiacles labeled, Pure Honey"
with your own name made prominent.
Whether the honey is extracted or in the
comb. great care should be taken to avoid
all leaking or dripping, as this Will
certainly disgust the grocer and render
the honey less salable.
Do not allow one or two grocerymen to
monopolize the trade, tor none of them
enjoys the patronage of all who come to
town to buy, but induce as many as pos
sbIe to keep small supply OF honey
constantly on hand. SAY small supply,
because if the groceryman's stock is
frequently replenished in small lots it
will be kept in better condition than if a
large amount is piled up to be held until
sold.
The groceryman should be instructed to
tell his customers that honey should not
be kept in cool, damp place. The cellar
is the poorest room in the house for it.
Honey should be kept in warm, dry
place, or it will gather moisture and sour.
Some people object to purchasing a
quantity of honey, because it graduates
so soon. They should be told that it
can be easily and quickly reliquified by
setting the dish of honey in dish of
boiling water. and if honey is heated to
200 degrees F.. and sealed while hot, it
will not become candied, and no harm
will be done to the honey.
OF course the honey crop is easiest dis
posed OF by selling in large quantities in
city markets, but if every ee-keeper
pursues this method less honey by far will
be consumed, and al much lower price
than if each should nse his ingenuity in
the home demand.

On the question of working or washing
butter, the American Stockman says: A
good rule is to work it but little. II but
ter is removed from the churn when in
granular form, the buttermilk will readily
drain of, and in washing what remains
will be pretty much got rid of. If worked
too much the grain will be broken and the
butter will be salvy. As to washing, we
have already intimated that butter should
be washed There is. however. differ
ence in practice and theory. Some claim
that it is injured by washing. We have
ALWAYS washed our butter. but extreme
care should be taken to wash with pure
water, the reasons fer which are obvious
enough. We never could see what evil
effects could come to butter from washing
it with pure water, though we acknowl-
edge we have heard the practice de-
nounced by those who were unquestiona-
bly, makers of very fine butter.
The experience of the current year must
have convinced the farmers that they need
not continue to take back seats in the af-
fairs of Government. There is no reason
why the lawyers should monopolize the
positions of power and influence in the
various legislative halls of the nation.
By concert of action and determined
purpose, the farmers may secure not only
representation in our legislative halls. but
selection of such other representatives
as are willing to lend respectful ear to
the petitions of the 100000 agricultur-
lists of this great nation. Agriculture is
the leading industry of the nation, and
demands its legitimate share OF the fos-
tering care and protection of the Govern
ment.-Americdn Cultiudtor.
Weighing the milk. says the American
Rural Home, is the best means of register
ing the capabilities and particulars of a
COW and her yield. If done one day each
week and noted down, the table so con-
strucled will be a most efficient guide to
the total quantity yielded, the rate of in
crease, the average or seasons yield, the
time of calving, the time of going dry,
effects of particular food, ETC., while
sudden decrease is the first symptom of
any disease or trouble. We can confident
ly speak from experience as to the benefits
to be derived from even a roughly kept
register of the produce.
The man who goes into farming simply
because he thinks anybody can be sue

that he has mistaken his calling. There
is no department of labor that requires
more judgment. thoroughness, energy

HEARTLEss CRUELTY

it is to delude a poor sufferer into the
belief that some worthless liniment will
cure rheumatism and neuralgia. Honesty
is the best policy in the manufacture Of
proprietary articles as in all other matters,
and the fact thar the proprietors Of Athlo-
phoros have never claimed for it even all
its merit would warrant has not a little to
do with its wonderful popularity and the
thousands Of grateful testimonials received
by them show that their policy has been
wise as well as right.
Experience has amply demonstrated
that mere outward applications are worth
less The disease has its seat in the blood,
and any remedy to be successful must deal
with the obstructive acid which poisons
and inhames it.
Athlophoros acts on the blood, muscles
and joints directly. 1t takes the poison
ont Of the blood and carries it ont of the

Problem OF . Commercial Pole.

Chief Engineer Melville, in a recent
lecture, described the Arctic outfits nee
essary for explorers and the mistakes
made in making them too heavy. He
said: Il have slept comfortably on top
of sled in sleeping bag with the Their
mometer 100 degrees below the freezing
point of water"
The Arctic sleeping bags, he explained,
were worn with the hair inside, thus re-
versing nature. It was the only fur
clothing worn that way. He thought
the very idea of unlimited appropriations
by congress caused an Arctic ex-
petition to be loaded down with
the worthless rubbage of every crank
in the land. His sleeping bag weighed
eleven pounds. The Greely expedition
bags weighed twenty-five pounds-ele-
giant things to sleep in, but death to those
who attempted to carry them" In con-
clusion the chief engineer said that with
his knowledge, born of experience, he
expected at some future day to conduct
q party in safety to the Arctic regions,
and to find grand, public spirited man
of vast means who would aid him in
solving the problem Of a commercial
pole. The road was one Of trial and
tribulation, but the object was attainable
and the scientific world would not be
satisfied until it was reached.-Philadel-

There isn't much show for our leather
or our manufactured shoes in Australia.
The people have gpod-sized, civilizadfeet.
and they produce more leather than they
want. They have reduced to sci
ence the manufacture Of leather
from skins of the native ami
mails, and as long as the lat
ter hold out, Consul Griffin doesn't see
any market for US. The skin Of the kan
CARGO is much used, but the Australians
do not discriminate much, and carve up
their native bears, or ruthlessly destroy
the bandicoot the native pig) or the
dingo or native dog, so that all tastes
may be suited in leather. The fashion
able slippers are made from the skins of
the platypus, and are highly priced. The
people in New Zealand don't go much
upon style. Their feet are large and un-
shapely, and pegged boots are considered
just the thing In South New Zealand
brass rivets are used to fasten the soles to
the uppers.
The good people of Japan do not show
any desire to cultivate American leather
or shoes. All the noble subjects OF the
Mikado banker after European fashions,
and spend some Of theirincomes in wear
ing French shoes. The young women
in Japan are not much behind our own.
They catch on to all the new fashions in
European dress, ape the manners and
customs of Europeans, and take savage
delight is showing their pretty feet and
silk stockings. They don't want any
shoes of American manufacture, and the
bulk of the natives are satisfied to go
through life wearing sandal or a
wooden clog. Consul Patton does not
think there is any field for American
manufactures in the Japanese empire

Sunday, March as, 1886.

Few statesmen and fewer politicians,
loud or blotant for the protection Of
the working man, have ever dared
suggest the only measure which will
protect the working man. As long as
there are ten men to each ones work
just so long will that work be done for
less money than when there are ten
pieces of work and only one man to do
L. This is law of supply and de-
mand which will hold, legislation or
no legislation. Mr.. Journeyman gets
$3.50 to-day because nine idle men
will jump at the chance of getting the
same rate. Strikes can not reduce the
number of idle men, and strikes can
not therefore raise the value of labor,
and no man will pay more than value.
When Mr.. Journeyman has risen to
wealth and runs factory what are
his views on wages? The difficulty is
we have too many laborers. 1t makes
little difference to the idle nine
whether the other man gets $3.50 or
$3.50 per day. The difference may be
against him-the article costs more to
manufacture and the nine men have
30 pay more for their shoes, etc. The
way TO protect the workman Is to stop
immigration. Shut down the gates
and say TO Messrs. Chinese, German,
Irish q Co., "Wait bit, We Knights
of Labor are out of work and we must
be protected. We have more men
than we have work. We won't divide
With you and starve; our wages are too
low now, and If more laborers come in
we shall be cut down or kicked gut 60
back home; We must protect our
eelves." That strikes the workman
and the capitals as sense, though not
pleasing to the capitalist. The latter
is In favor Of Haunting the Fourth Of
July buncombe This Is the asylum Of
the oppressed" He wants more to
come for then he has larger home
market for his goods and larger sup
ply of laborers. hence he may pay
smaller wages. No politician dare
proclaim the doctrine here advanced.
He is afraid of being charged with
"Know nottingham" But we already
see that the only way to protect the
workman Is to keep out foreign
(Chinese and others) competition until
the supply of work demands more
laborers. Our adopted citizens already
here and whom we were glad to well
come will support us In our views.
We have too many laborers, American
~ well as foreign. II further importa-
tion of labor be not stopped then this
"asylum Of the oppressed" will have
lie own people to play the role of the
