Shad i'm Fresh Wafer.

A peculiar freak of nature is pre-
sented in the result that attended the
experiment of stocking Lake Ontario
with shad seven years ago. Millions OF
them were Matched, but they were
dwarfs. None of them grow to over
seven inches long and they are not fit
to eat They increase rapidly and have
become choice morsel of food for the

OF course the treatment must vary
with the malignity of the disease. Ii
what is known as the malignant ol
black diththeria there is little that car
be done. 1t comes on so rapidly and
terminates so fatally in day or two, OF
in even less than twenty-four hours.
Ice held in the mouth proves the most
soothing and grateful to the patient, al
though in many cases caustic gargles are
given for the purpose of destroying the
false membrane. Creosote and gyce.
rine is one of these, and muriatic acid
and honey are sometimes applied with a
camel's hair pencil to the back of the
throat, or diluted with water for gargl-
ing purposes. With very young chill
dren these cannot often be successfully
used, but with an older child or an
adult this cannot be done.
"Some doctors give adults twenty
grains of chloride of potassium in SO.
luton every three hours, or five grains
in solution every two hours for a young
child. Chloride of iron and sulphate of
quinine are also given, and permanga-
nate of potassium, one drachm dissolved
in a pint and half of water, and given
in doses of fluid drachm every hour.

cause of death as sutfocation, although
the stoppage Of the windpipe and bron-

generally thought the immediate cause
SIN poor peoples houses, where this
disease comes most frequently, and in
squalid neighborhoods, where cleanli-
ness and precaution were unknown, l
found it difficult matter to keep the
patient completely isolated in houses
where whole families occupy one room.
In such cases the patient, if possible,
was sent to hospital or institu tiOn,
but if not the other children were kept
as far away from the patient as the
limited area of the room would permit.
and all the methods of disinfection were
vigorously observed.
mo handkerchiefs were used by the
patient, but soft cloths, which were
burned as soon as used, and all the
linen used about the patient was soaked
in disinfectants before being washed.
The same general rules for dsinfection
and isolation that are used in cases of
scarlet fever aud other contagious dis
eases will be found useful in this disease,
and of course in other houses it is posi-.
BILE to have the most complete and eff
ficient care over the patient and his sur.
so that children in tine same
house may not take the infection"

Marriage Made Difficult.
London Telegraph

very curious and very stringent cor
der" with regard to matrimony has just
been issued by the "staff council" of the
salvation army, in which it is set forth
that sin future no sanction will be given
to counting or any engagement of any
male lieutenant. He must be promoted
to the rank of captain before anything
of the kind can be recognized. No cap
tain is to expect headquarters consent to
his marriage, either after two years SER
vice or more unless he has proved him
self an efficient an faithful officer, and is
backed by his divisional officer, who, in
consenting to his marriage, must agree to
give him three stations. In future no
marriage will be agreed to by headquar-
tiers unless we have consented to the en-
gagement at least twelve months before.
The old rules remain in force than there
must be at least twelve months service in
the field as a commissioned officer before
any engagement can be sanctioned. Com
munication with regard to engagements
must be made divisional officers, who will
refer the matter to headquarters"

The Use Of Straw.

Whatever may be the value of straw as
a partial food for stock, it's true economy
on the farm lies in its comfort to stock
as bedding. Why it is not more largely
used in this way it is difficult to say when
we see the vast quantities yearly going to
waste through the winter to be burned
in the spring.
Why not, when stock is put into the
yards for wintering, cover the ground
thickly with straw, and especially under
the sheds? Thus liquids, the most valu-
able portion of the manure, instead of
going to waste, would be soaked up by
the straw, and at length become thor
oua hly moistened. In the spring the
whole may be piled to be rottGd into ma
nure. The straw should be added to from
time to time, especially after snow-storms,
so there may be plenty for cattle to lie
on. Thus while serving their comfort
at the same time it is increasing in value.
for the ultimate value of straw is in pro-
portion to its saturation with the liquid
waste of the yards and stables.
Straw is of little valve as food, except
to properly distend the stomachs of ami
mails that airy fed grain. Rotted down
by itself, many good farmers claim that
its true economy lies in its ashes. There
is good ground for this belief, unless in
| case of tough soils that require to be
Ightened up mechanically. It may pay
in such cases to pillow it under while dry.
Yet its value on such soils is as much en-
HANGED by being first used as bedding
as upon any other soil; for before serv
ing its ultimate purpose in any soil it
must be brought into human mold. It
is still more astonishing that many farm
ers having plenty of straw should refuse
to allow the stock stabbed in mold, full
supply of bedding. Even where straw
is scarce there is no economy in bedding
light. No more is lost by deep bedding
than by thin bedding. It is only the
fouled portions that need be thrown out,
Little if any more will become so when
the bed is six or eight inches thick than
when there is only slight covering to
the floor, and very much less feed is re-
qUired when animals lie warm and are
comfortable in other ways than they will
be wnen they lie shivering and uncom-
Portable on nearly bare planking or on
the hard groond. Stock never cluster so
when allowed their freedom. Then they
seek the woods where the wind is broken,
and where there is the comfort of the
leaves with which the ground is covered.
Where straw is scarce it will pay to gath
er leaves for bedding. And even much
of the sOiled portions may be drien and
used for bedding if necessary.

Household Hints and Recipes.

If mating, cOunterpanes, Or bedspreads
have oil spots upon them, wet with al
cohol, rub with hard soap, and then rinse
with clear, cold water.
It is said that canned berries retain
their flavor, and keep better when a but
tered cloth is laid over the top Of the jar
before screwing down the cover.
A small barrel is a capital receptacle
for sOiled linen instead of g hamper.
Have it well cleaned and lined with chintz
the outside should be either painted or
covered with Turkey red embroidered
with sprays; the lid must be covered Or
painted to correspond.
To make steamed pudding, take two
eggs, one cup of sour milk, half a tea
spoon of soda, little salt and one cup
of fruit. Beat the eggs and the sugar
together, dissolve the soda in the milk;
stir in the -four rather thicker than for
cake. Steam an hour and half.
To make eggs froth quickly when
beating them, add small pinch Of salt;
and it will freshen them too To cut
warm bread or cake have your knife
quite hot. Mix your stove blacking
with soapsuds; the polish comes more
quickly and the dust of the backing is
avoided.
A young goose not more than four
months old, is nice cooked in this way;
After dressing and singeing it carefully,
sprinkle pepper and salt and little sage
in the inside; put lump of butter IN
also, to moisten; then put in pan with
water in which you have put some butter
and pepper and salt. Serve with nice
brown gravy and gooseberry jam or ap-
pie butter; cover the batter with thin
slices of buttered toast moistened with
the drippings in the pan, then lay the
goose upon it. Goose is usually better
to be parboiled or steamed before baking
and this process extracts the oil. The
usual poultry dressing and sauce may be
served with it.

are we'll known for their good milking
qualities and as producing beef of the
best quality. The Shorthorns are also
considered in England as among the
most valuable of the native breeds as
mixers, far better as a rule than the
Herefords. But the excellence is confn-
ee to particular families, as is the case
in this country; and here the beef pro-
ducing characteristics have, as in the
Hereford, been chiefly sought. In the
United States in addition to the more
valuable of the British breeds, we have
the Holstein Freisian and the Swiss COWS.
These are among the most noted of the
world for milk.
With US cattle have now come to be
kept for specific purpose. In the great
dairy districts east the Jersey and the
Guernsey fairly fairly compete with the
Ayrshire and HOlstein. In the west the
latter breeds are found in larger mum
bers. In the hill country of the South
the Jersey and the Devon are considered
the most profitable. It is more ques-
ton flood, perhaps, than climate for
wherever pastures are flush the Holsteins
and the Ayrshires predominant for milk,
and the Holsteins much more largely
than the Ayrshires. Where butter is the
object the Jersey and the Guernsey have
no equals, but with the inclination lying
decidedly in favor of the Guernsey in the
flush pastures of the west. -
In the United States therefore, where
all breeds have been tried, public favor
has settled on the Jersey and Guernsey,
and the Holstein and Ayrshire for the
dairy, locality having much to do with
the choice. Where cattle for mixed uses
are sought the Short-Horn, the Sussex,
the Devon, and among polled cattle the
Galloway and the red polls are favored,
and probably in the order named.
Coming to cattle for beef, Short-Rorns
and those grades largely predominant.
Next to these are the Herfords, not in any
degree second to the short-horns for beef.
Their grading qualities are confessedly
superior, while it is just possible the
Sh0rt-horns may excel in early maturity.
Polled Angus and Aberdeen will probably
give the best flesh of any Of the improv-
ed breeds common in the United States,
except possibly the Devons.
The polled herds, however, are not COM
mon enough, so that the public have not
chance to judge for themselves. Short
Horn grades undoubtedly constitute
large proportion of the beef of improved
breeds found in our markets than all the
others put together. Yet the mixed cat
tie of the country far outnumber all the
improved breeds, and will for many years
vet to come
