BetWecn Boston and New York

The trains leaving Summer street depot, N
Y and N L. r. R., Boston, and Grand Cen
trail depot, New York, at three O'Clock in the
afternoons, Sunday included, are already rec.
ognized as the best trains to take when tiav-
cling between the two cities, whether going
for business or pleasure. The distance is
twenty miles shorter by this than any other
route, the rate of speed is less, and the time
occupied, six hours, is the shortest made by
any line. Tho trains iuh more than one
third of the distance (S6 miles out of 2l3)
without stop and arrive promptly at their
destination at o o'clock in the evening, thus
enabling the passenger TO obtain Il comfort
able nights rest after pleasant journey in
the cool of the day between business and bed
time. A buffet car is run between the
cities on both trains, and sals js, berries and
ices can be obtained at any time. A dining
car with meals served on the European plan,
is run on the trains between Boston and Will
lmantic, so that a passenger can select from
q choice assortment what pleases him best,
and pay only a reasonable price for what he
orders
Not only is this TIE best rail line, but regu-
lar travellers have discovered by experience
that after taking this line they are better fit
ted for duty than after a journey by the
Sound boats, which involves a ride by rail
before breakfast coming east and uncertain
ty in the hour of arrival going west
1t is not the purpose of the management to
rest satisfied with present achievements, but,
as time goes on, to keep up with the public
demand for speed, comfort aud safety as fast
ss that demand is evidenced by support
Grateful for the past, they ask only trial of
these trains, with confidence that the ulti-
mate result will he satisfactory to all inter-
ested in perfect passenger service between

A great many diseases Of poultry come
from cold and wet.
One serious error in poultry keeping is
the custom Ct keeping hens until they
become too old to be profitable, because
they were favoritcs or great layers, but
they can never put on tender flesh nor
put down eggs,
To remove vermin good remedy has
been mentioned, that is of busting the
fowls at night with flowers of sulphur,
provide dust baths of road dust or fine
clay, and paint the perches with kero-
sene or crude petroleum. Building
should be kept white-washed or lined
with tarred felt, costing less than one
third of a cent per square foot
Scaly legs is caused by minute insect
eating the legs. A mixture of equal por-
tions of lard, Kerosene and sulphur is the
usual and generally effective remedy.
Fowls can be fattened well in fort
night if they are coopcd up where they
can obtain gravel, and are fed on scalded
corn meal, given them three times day.
For drink, skinned milk is very desir-
able and will be drank with eagerness
Pulverized charcoal kept either in their
boxes, Or mixed with their feed, will ma
terially assist the fattening process.
When fowls are allowed full liberty
they seem to eat from morning till night,
this seems to be good evidence against
the 1.-TWO meal a day. plan. We don't
like it ourselves, neither do our hens. A
little food given often is better than a
great quantity thrown to them to be
trampled and soiled, but when fowls are
fed frequently see that the food is eaten
up clean every time.-Racine Agyicvl.

A Wolf.

Bill Ridly is a wolf" said old Judge
Bicknell
''Why do you think so2" some one
asked
''Well, l will tell you. Some time ago
a roughly dressed man with bushy red
whiskers rode up to my house and wanted
to sell me horse, a lean animal, but one
in which saw many fine points. The fell
low said he was in such need of money
that he would take twenty dollars for the
animal gave him the money and took
the horse. The animal fattened rapidly.
l found him equally serviceable in shafts
or under the saddle. One day, shortly
after the animal had developed into as
fine a horse as l had ever seen, Bill Ridly
came along and claimed him. He brought
forward sufficient proof to establish his
claim and of course gave up the horse,
thereby losing my twenty dollars beside
losing the time 1 had spent working
with him"
Il don't see how you can blame Ridly.
"You don't; then I will show. you. The
scoundrel wanted his horse fattened, bu
was too stingy to spend money for corn
so he disguised himself, sold me his owl
horse, then, after the horse was fat, came
back and claimed him. Yes, Billy is {

A correspondent of the London Agri-
cultural Gazette has had good success in
feeding boiled grain in connection with
chopped fodder. Turnips and the ruta-
bagas he does not like, but uses them up
to Christmas, or before they become
frosted. After Christmas, the writer
says, where mangolds are grown they
may be used without stint; but it must
be borne in mind that they produce a
lot of poor milk, therefore the corn
should be increased.
In relation to the feeding of roots the
writer states, as the Tribune has hereto
fore done, that they have little nutri-
ment and should only be used in the
United States to assist digestion and as
forming succulent food, much needed in
winter The English method of feeding
cooked food is described as follows:
We have our cows entirely under cover
or in the yards, for the warmer they are
kept the less food they want and the
more milk they will give. We give no
hay-barley and oat straw are cut into
chaff about an inch long, Then, again,
we go little to market, but convert all
our second-rate corn into suitable food to
mix with the chaff. Wheat or barley is
boiled-they may be mixed or used
separately. Put five bushels to about 100
gallons of cold water and boil till the
corn will mash if squeezed in the fingers,
then spread chaif enough for days al
lowance for your COWS, and put in the
boiled corn while hot and mix. We find
five bushels sufficient each day for about
forty cows when roots are plentiful; or,
if oats are used, they should be crushed.
We find these valuable for milk. OF all
green foods like cabbage, and we man
age so as to keep supply all through the
winter
In the United States the cooking of
food for stock is little practioed, and
careful experiments have not shown its
economy, except for hogs and in the
case of sick animals. But for dairy cows
the experiment in England is valuable,
and it might be well to experiment with
the cooking of ear corn, either by water
in large caldron, Or by the direct action
of hot steam in water. Chicago Tri-

DRIVING OUT THE CHINAMEN.
Marching Them Upon a Steamer
and Paying Their Passage.

A Portland, Or, dispatch says: The Chi
nese are being driven out of Seattle, Wash.
1t is understood that the Knights of Labor
are at the head of the movement. The China
men are marched to the steamer Queen of the
Pacific, lying at her wharf, and the strikers
pay a steerage passage for San Francisco for
each one put on board. The steamer plies
regularly between San Francisco and Puget
sound. About 100 Cinnamon were put on
board. An attempt was made by the rioters
to force other Chinese on board without
paying their fares, which is $40 in
each case, the captain stationed men
with hose prepared to throw
five streams of boiling water into the mob if
such attempt was renewed The Mayor of
Seattle and other prominent citizens have
telegraphed TO Vancouver barracks, asking
General Gibbon, commanding the depart.
ment of the Columbia, for troops. General
Gibbon has telegraphed to the war depart
ment, but no authority has as yet come from
Washington to send troops, Vancouver is
one hundred and fifty miles distant from
Seattle, and transportation would be effected
by boat and rail The shortest time in which
troops could be transported is seven hours,
and, even if they should start at once, they
would be too late to prevent the expulsion of
the Chinese. Chief Justice Green of Wash
ington territory has telegraphed to Attorney
General Garland, asking him to use his iniiu-
ence to have troops ordered to Seattle. As

A warm piggery is an absolute neces-
sity for profitable swine raising, and good
food indispensable if you wish your pigs
to enter the spring with well developed
frame for laying on fat, If you provide
them with poor shelter and feed them on
slops through the winter, you will find it
a rather Improbable undertaking. Give
always enough nutritive food to satisfy
the natural appetite and feed at regular
times. 1t has been too common a notion
that the hogs may be fed anything and
will thrive so long as they are stuffed,
Growth is the primary object that should
influence you in the selection of swine
food Corn will produce fat, but it is
not adapted to the best production of
bones and muscles. A variety of food is
lelished by these animals, and they will
show their appreciation of judicious Sc
lection by laying on fat and muscle and
increasing their frames proportionately.
Not only this, but if furnished the ma
terials they will produce quick action
and valuable manure. This is very rich
IN nitrogen and contains generous per
cent. of phosphate; it is also nearly as
lasting it its effects as COW manure.

room house built on runners. Hauling 1t
to the centre of a section of land, one OF the

one night, each occupying separate
room, and the next day they would make

four other men would perform similar act

Releases" in Transportation of Live
stock.


The express companies and the railroad
companies have the right to refuse to
carry live stock which they may regard
as having Clancy or fictitious value
put upon it. As common carriers they
are bound to receive and transport ordi-
nary chattels, and to exercise due dill
gerce and care that whatever they take
is carefully and properly handled. If
they fail in this, they are responsible.
The "Release" which they often require
shippers of live stock to sign, is a de
vice to prevent litigation in case of death
or injury to the stock. The permission"
granted the shipper ito transport in their
cars and boats, or in those used by them
certain fowls or animals, as though the
company had nothing to do with it, is a
pure fiction and of no weight in reliev-
ing the company from their responsibility
as common carriers. If there is no way
offered for shipping the fowls Or animals
except by signing such release, the
document has still less force. If, how
ever, the company say, as many do: we
will take the responsibility of safe trans
portation for such price, and for SC
much less if released from all responsible
ity, then the release so-called, has gen
nine basis in GOOD faith American A0.
