Care of EOWlS.

If birds are moulting and you wish to
hurry the process separate them and feed
we'll on stimulating food. Begin with q
moderate allowance and gradually in
crease it, and then tie BIRDS will not
suffer from overlooking. Give meat or
milk to supply material to counteract the
waste that goes on while the feathers are
coming out.
The drain on the system is excessive
at that tine, and generous living will
do the birds more good than condition
powders. Good food in plenty, and
warm, agreeable, clean quarters must be
provided to insure quick and successful
moulting. BY fastening the process the
fowls are more vigorous, and will give q
better result in eggs IL winter and be
in prime condition by the exhibition
season.
Hcmpseed is a great help in feather
formation, also q little sulphur. How
ever, sulphur, after the month of August,
must be used with great caution. as the
evenings and morning are often cold with
heavy dcws, and sulphur, by its action
on the skin, prcdisposes the birds to feel
kcenly such changes of weather.
Good oats, rcas and wheat are bet
ter food for fowls during m .ulting than
corn. as they contain more of the elc-
ments needed for the production Of
feathers. Again oats arc splendid food
for keeping up the animal vigor.
Do not neglect the growing chickens,
for the pullets of the early maturing class
will soon be laying. Those that have
liberty need but two o. three full meals
a day, as thy can pick up myriads of
insects and seeds for some time to come.
Ripe vegetables and fallen fruits arc also
gnod for them.
The approved breeding house has its
! nest boxes made with closed fronts, only
small opening being left at each end
for fowls to get in and out, thas making
the nests quite dark, which prevents
egg eating. The twenty inch spa, from
nest to floor is of open slat work, Stats
three inches apart. Along this slat work
in the hall is q galvanized. iron water
trough eight inches from the floor cx-
tending entire length of hall from which
fowls drink by reaching through slat
work.
, The buildings are ceilcd on the out
side with siding, under which is lining
of tarred felt. They are also ccilci in
side with matched ceiling. The roofs
a:e laid of matched lumber, which is
covered with tarred felt aid then
shing!ed, thus making them warm and
proof against vermin. The floors Of the
pens are always kept covered with sew,
eral inches OF dry straw and chat, into
which grain is thrown, thus making the
hens scratch for living. Each flock
has dust tub, also a trough divided
into three compartments, in which is
kept constant supply of crushed oyster
shells, bone meal, and charcoal.-P0ultry

Bee Notes,

1t is now good time to procure your
fine Italian queens, for introducing to
such stock as you desire to become Italian
lied, always first capturing your old
queen belo.c you introduce the Italian
queen.
Should you have a fine stock of your
own from which to raise queens, | sug-
gest you try your hand by first capturing
the queen you wish to superScdc, and
kill her, leaving the stock quecnlcss
eight days, then cat oat and destroy all
the queen cells and exchange frame of
fresh brood, with plenty Of fresh eggs,
from your fine stock, when the bees will
again make new set Of cells and raise
o queen from the fine queen.
Queen rearing is oftimes perplexing
business, and requires the greatest care
in order to keep all matters straight.
For instance, the drone question comes
up as mater of much Importance, and
cuts quite figure in the purity of all
our stock. Hence, ! admonish one and
aIl to beware of cheap queens.
At this season bees can have their
curiosity quickly stirred up by the bee
keeper, who may unthinkingly drop a
small amount of honey in or about the
apiary, and thus start active robbing.
Hence, We admonish one and all to be
careful in keeping all things clean and
the bits of honey well cared for.
If you have a few stacks which have
b, come short of honey, you can feed in
the top of your hive, at night, being
careful to keep all openings we'll closed
from outside robbers; and especially keep
the main entrance reduced in size, so
that one or two bees can pass out or in
at time.
l do not approve OF raising queens in
small, nucleus hives. AS a rule, they
are not Of much force, nor do they give
GOOD satisfaction. Having kept and
aged bees forty-si years, I think l
know whereof speak, u. Hicks,

Artificial Respiration.

Mr.. J. A. Francis describes the follow
ing method of artificial respiration in the
BRITISH Medical Journal. The body of
the patient is laid on the back. with
clothes loosancd, and the mouth and nose
wiped; two bystanders pass their right
hands under the body at the level of the
waist, and grasp each others hands,
then raise the body until the tips of the
fingers and the toes of the subject alone
touch the ground; count fifteen rapidly;
then lower the body fiat to the ground,
and press the elbows to the side hard :;
count fifteen again; then raise the body
again for the same length of time; and
so on, teInatcly raising and lowering.
The head, arms, and legs are to be al"
lowed to dangle down quite freely when
the body is raised. The author alleges
that this method is most successful, and
it is so simple that any one can perform
it without any teaching.

The annoyance from flies in the stable
is often harder OH the horses than hard

There is every reason for early sowing,
except apprehension of the ucssian fly,
which is not sufficient one.
To keep ticks and fcas from stock,
smear them with sturgeon oil ard tar
mixed. Do not apply coal tar to stock.
Keep tomato plants well up off the
ground. Three stakes to each plant,
with two cords around, make firm sup

If the soil is dry the matured potatoes
may remain in the hill; but if not they
had bitter be dry and stored, or rot will
ensue.

Something About Cutarrh.

A great many people arc afflicted with ca
tarrh who do not know what ails them; ana
great many more continue sufferers VINO
might be cured,
Thickcning of the membrane which lines
the nasal passages, thus making breathing
d fficult; discharge from the nostrils, more
or less copious, watery or thick, accorolns 10
the stage of the disease: sense OF fullness IN
the head; constant inclination to spit; and,
In advanced cases, dropping Of intensely dis
gusting matter into the throat, are few Oh
the prominent symptoms of Catarrh.
Deafness infiamed eyes, neuralgia pains,
sore throat and loss OF sense OF smell are
very often caused by Ca:arrh.
All these troubles arc cured b. Piso's Rem
eiy for Cato rrh. Relief is had Immediately
after beginning its use, but it is Important
that il be continued without interruption until
the catarrhal virus Is expelled from the sys'
tenn and healthy secretions replace the dis
eased action of the mucous membrane. Man.
isestly it is unreasonable to expect q cure In a
short time of q disease that has been progress
ing for months or years.
This question of time is provided for in the
putting up of Piso's Remedy for Catarrh. Its
so concentrated that very small dose is di-
rected. The quantity in one package Is sum
cient for n long treatment, consequently the
expense is mere tritie, and there is no excuse
for neglect nor reason for it but forgetfulness.
a cold in the head is relieved by an appli, a.
ton of Piso's Remedy for Catarrh. Ihe ooLn-
fort TO be got IRON it in this way is worth
many times tie cost.

THE FREE AMERICAN GIRL.


THE FREE AMERICAN GIRL.
No nation is ahead Of America in the
honor paid to woman in treating her as
the companion and equal of man.
As rule, the American girl has the
unrestricted choice of her friends and OF
the particular one whose matrimonial
addresses are agreeable to her.
The young lady, by which Is meant
here the one in the4enjoyment of an
average position in society, possesses
freedom which evokes the admiration OF
foreign observers. In the church meet
ing and lecture room the Sundayschool,
the skating rink, the party, the ball
room, the academy, or the place OF en-
ployment Is found the acquaintance
which ripens into friendship, love and
marriage.
When, drawn by the passion divine,
Sambo visits Dinah in the "ole cabin
by the Suwanee River, for the first
time mutual embarrassment Is over
como by the fun of the thing. When
she laughs, he laughs, and the way
is made easier for the laugh through
ife.
THE "BUT" IN THE CASE.
There are restraints placed on free.
dom OF choice even by the American
'ndy, that is IL she happens to be the
laughter of a man OF wealth or distinc-
on who either himself insists upon his

concerns her happiness, when 1t Is not
or will, on has wife who pursues this
course.
Tho conflict between the girls right
md the parents abuse OF authority, Is
oftener owing to the slender means and
obscure position Of tho maidens prefer
ence than to any other cause.
The headquarters Of this form OF tyr
amy, which increases with the incroas,
ing worship Of wealth and display, are
naturally where there Is the least culture
accompanied with riches. Daughters OF
our shoddy aristocrats suffer tho most
| from parental tyranny exercised In com-
| polling them to marry men who are not
thcir true choice.
| MERCENARY MARRIAGES CONDEMNED.
| On the other hand young women
| whose heads are turned by a false esti-
| mate Of life, who value Unfortunately the
| advantages Of wealth, voluntarily sell
| themselves, as it were to the highest
| bidder. Discrepancy In years, want OF
brains, and defects Of character are
reckoned but of little moment in com
parison with the command of abundant
money.
To call the marriage relation o.
such couples love would be doing wrong
to that sacred name.
| MATCHMAKING IN FRANCE.
In France the courtship Of young PEG
Pile is an arrangement most generally
contrived by the parents or guardians o.
the pair. This is the rule among people
in the middle and higher classes.
A French girl of the upper ten thou
