large; and weli-conductcd experiments
have proved that it is not only beneficial
to the health of the fowl, but it also GER
tainly stimulates and promotes laying to
very great extent.
Now, while this effect of producing an
increase in the number of eggs is Ger
tain, and not a newly claimed merit, we
have arriv, d at the conclusion that it also
increases the size of the eggs; and where
there is any trouble with regard to the
shells of the eggs, we have found it
speedily remcd;ed by a liberal use OF
ground raw bone and oyster shells.
Every person who keeps even a few
fowls should own a mill for grinding
such food, as it will soon repay the cost.
Bone and shell should be fed to fowls
by putting it in narrJw box and nail
ing it to the side of the coop; we prefer
this method as it is less wasteful than
throwing it on the ground. To use fine
bone beneicially, it is necessary to mix
it with the soft food, and we have found
it it very useful in cases of d:arrhTa in
fowls, having cured cases of this disease
in green fowls in Il single day by the use
of this arti lie; to promote laying, how,
ever, it is necessary to have it ground

For Good Purposes.

Mrs. NJ. A. Dauphin, Of Philadelphia, is

suffering with severe case of Prolarsus and

Care of the Cow-House.

IA word in regard to the care of the
stable or house in which COWS are kept
This is not IN unimportant matter. as
too many farmers hurried with other
work are apt to think. The cow-house
should be kept clean and sweet. First,
because pure air is almost as necessary to
the health of the COW as to that of man :;
second, because cows are often milked in
the stall. Now, milk is very sensitive
to outside influences its purity and flavor
are affected BY foreign substances falling
into it, and also, it absorbs ammonia and
noxious gases very qui kly. These will
pretty surely exist in an ill-kept stable.
My way of keeping clean, sweet smell
ing place for the cows is to sprinkle the
floor once day with plaster. Plaster
enough for this purpose will cost but
little, and will increase the value of the
manure more than enough to compen-
sate."-Nso York World.

Cooling New Milk With Water.

The success Of the creamery system is
in the suddel cooling which new milk
undergoes, su round, d, as the creamerie'
are, by ice. Many years ago, long before
{, eameries were thought of, some thrifty
housewives had got hold of this idea,
only dashing Little ice cold water into
the new milk as soon rs it was set in the
pan. The rapidity with which the cream
will rise under this stimu!a ion is easily
noticeable. Place two ans of Eew milk
OF lual quality side by SIDE, and the one
that has half teacupful If cold water
dashed into it will not only raise cream
more quickly, but more of it than the
other. Milk treated in this way will give
nearly as much cream as the best cream
cry. It will be fairly blue when the cream
is skinned off. while milk set in the
usual way will have thin skim OF cream
on its surface after souring. This dis
covery is probably fl ty or more years old,
aad may possibly have been the basis OF
the creamery system. The milk should
be set warm, and the waite be as cold as
possible. Ice, if it can be procured,
wou possibly be better than water

Harrington Will Helm.

LONDON, March 29.-There was session
of the cabinet this afternoon. Mr. Glad
stone and Lord Harrington, who was secre-
tary for war in the last Liberal cabinet, in
terchanged communications to-day regard
ing the latter'S attitude towards the pre-
mierS proposed Irish policy. 1t will be re-
membered that the Conservatives at one
time made overtureS to Lord Harrington
looking to fusion of the Wings and the
Tories in party that was claimed would
easily control the political situation OF any
Irish measure. He, however, though
Whig, is a sincere admirer of Mr.. clad
stone, and has always refused TO either fol-
low or lead any opposition TO him. and has
never i'll practice carried his differing fur
ther than abStention from support. If Lord
Harrington should either take Il place in
the present cabinet or openly proclaim HIM
self supporter of the premier'S Irish pro-
posals, it is thought his aid would more than
cOunterbalance the effects of Mr.. Chamber
lain'S secession. Mr.. Chamberlain'ss per-
sOnal followers are urging him to make use
of the National Liberal federation to dis
cover the majority feeling of the Liberal
party throughout Great Britain towards
Mr.. Gladstone's Irish policy. In Birming-
ham rumors are circulated to-day that if
the present political crisis results in new
election. Lord Randolph Churchill and Mr..
Chamberlain will take the stump on the
same platform. 1t is also stated that in
the same event the Birmingham Liberals
in John Bright'S district will request that
venerable statesman to retire in favor of a
younger man. 1t is stated that all the
members representing wOrkingmen in the
house of commons oppose Mr.. Chamber
lain'S attitude towards Mr.. Gladstone.

Moving Towards Open Sessions.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-lndirectly
the question of open executive sessions re-
ceived a slight forward impulse in the
secret session of the senate this afternoon.
\ considerable number of internal revenue
collectors nominated to places created by
suspension were confirmed. and among the
number was the collector of internal reye-
nue. for the district of Vermont. Senator
Morrill,. who reported this case, moved that
the injunction of secrecy be removed from
the report of the finance committee in this
case, as an act of justice TO eX-CollectOr
Stearns, the late collector. and the motion
was carried. Mr.. Sherman then asked
that the same act of justice
be done TO suspended collectors
in Ohio. Then some one asked why not eX-
tend the courtesy 10 the entire list of sus-
pended collectors. Another asked. ''and
why not to all other suspended officials"
These ''why nots" were not answered, but
some of the more conservative senators,
without stating any objection to the propo-
sition, thought the resolution was moving
too rapidly. and TO check it a motion was
entered TO reconsider the vote by which Mr..
MOrrills motion was carried. This put the
question over for day. The report IN the
Vermont case, which in its general features
is understood to be substantially like those
made III the majority of cases of internal
revenue collectors, is said TO declare that
the committee has learned from authoritative
sources that there was no other reason for
the removal of Stearns than that he was a
Republican, or for the appointment
of his successor than that he was a Demo-
crat The collectors confirmed are chiefly
in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio and West
Virginia. Under the present interpreta-
ton of the rules. which nearly all senators
admit is wrong one, their names cannot
be made public till after two more eX-
ecutive sessions shall have passed.
The injunction of secrecy was removed
from the correspondence sent to the senate
in secret session between the secretary of
state on the one hand and the Chinese
minister at Washington and the American
minister in China respectively on the other,
with regard to Chinese immigration. The
correspondence is voluminouS. and it was
fully intended that it should be given 10 the
press tonight but by some failure of the
machinery of the executive session or some
inadvertency the motion to reconsider the
motion in respect TO the Vermont collector
was made to cover the Chinese matter as
well and thus the correspondence remains
locked up.

The PittsburR strike.

PITTsBURG. March 29.-The street car
strike developed nothing new to-day.
Everything is quiet, and likely to remain so
for the next twenty-four hours at least, as
the railway officials say they will not at
tempt to run any cars at present. If the
difficulty is not settled in few days how
ever, arrangements will be made to start
the cars on one or two lines with nOn-union
men. President Patrick of the Birmingham
road saws when they get ready to start, ap-
plication will be made to the mayors of the
two cities and the sheriff for protection
against viOlence. The 10 per cent. advance
in wages demanded by the machinery mold
ers some time ago, 10 take effect to-day, has
been granted by Jones IL Laughlin, Porter
& Bell, OresOn & Bell, W. III, Irwin and
the Lewis Foundry company. As a num-
Der of other firms have signitied their will
ingneSs to concede the increase, a strike, it
is thought, will be unnecessary.
