Measures That Should Be Taken for Poultry in
the Fall.

In the Rural New Yorker P. H. ia
cobs writes on this topic: Before re-
ducing stock, select all hens that have
moulted or show signs OF moulting, as
they will complete the process and be-
gin to lay before cold weather comes
on. Though the rule may not be in
fallible, yet the hen or pullet that be-
gins to lay on the approach OF winter
will generally make a good winter lay
er, while the one that does not com
mence before cold weather usually
postpones operations until spring.
The hens intended Tor market, there
fore, should be those that have not
moulted, as moulting requires about
three months. The best food for the
moulting hen is oatmeal, with meat
and milk, whenever such can be pro-
cured. Feed very little corn, as she
should not be made very fat.
AS the fall begins to pass over and
winter approaches by careful manage
ment the hens may be made to lay all
winter and the beginning OF the winter
preparations should be made in the
fall. In some sections the season is not
very severe until January, and adj
vantage should betaken ofthe warmer
weather. Lice must still be kept down
and the poultry house must be made
as comfortable as possible. To get the
hens in good laying condition those
that are very fat should be separated
from the others and be fed upon oats
as the only food, compelling them to
hunt and scratch for the grain in cut
straw, leaves or some kind OF litter as
the consequent exertion will reduce
them in flesh and keep them in health.
AS soon as the hens begin to lay they
may be fed on plenty offood, provided
there is % variety, as the production OF
eggs will enable them to Appropriated
! to that purpose. Whenever a hen ceases
to lay, if even for a few days, she be-
gins to fatten, and this must be guard
ed against, as a fat female, whether
| quadruped or birds, is not very pro-
| life.
If soft food is given, it should con-
sist of ground oats three parts, shorts
one part and bran two parts, and if
the hens are laying well there should
be added one part Of cornmeal and
one of ground meat. Bone-meal,
ground shells, and pure water should
always be where the fowls can have
access to them, and the soft food
should be seasoned with salt, scalded
| and fed warm. No food will be neces-
sary then until night, when oats and
wheat should be given, unless in cold
| weather, when corn may also be al
lowed.

HAT to M,stres,es.

Find fault, when you must find
fault, in private. if possible, and some
time after the offense rather than at
the time. The blamed are less inclin-
ed to resist when they are blamed
without witnesses. Both parties are
calmer, and the accused person may
be struck with the forbearance OF the
accuser, who has seen the fault, and
watched for a private and proper time
for mentioning it. Never be harsh
or unjust with your children or serv-
ants. Firmness, with gentleness OF
demeanor and a regard to the feelings,
constitute that authority which IS al
ways respected and valued. Ii you
have any cause to complain OF a serv-
ant never speak hastily. Wait, at all
events, until you have had time to re-
fleet on the nature OF the ofense.

How to Treat Horses Whom Their Feet Ire Ten
der. ALL.


How to Treat Horses Whom Their Feet Are Ten
der. a..s-
American Agriculturist.
There are various causes giving rise
to this trouble, some ofthen remova-
BILE and some not. Founder ina chron'
ic form is one of the irremovable
causes, and navicular disease, usually
called coffin joint lameness, is anoth-
er. In these diseases the horse
points in a marked manner, Lmps
often badly and manifests tenderness
when tapped with hammer on the
sole. Ii he could be relieved from all
labor and turned barefooted into
soft pasture for few months, per.
manent cure might be effected. II,
however, he must be used, it may be
done with very little suffering to the
horse, by applying an elastic steel
plate over the whole sole, and STUFF
fling the place between the plate
and the sole with cakum saturated
with pine tar. We have employ.
ed this method with great satisfac-
ton in the case of a horse tender
from navicular disease; as nearly as
we could determine, in both front feet.
There was moderate contraction, the
feet being quite small, the heels were
high, and the bearing and wear OF the
feet chiefly at the toes. This indicat-
ed tenderness OF the heels and lack OF
frog pressure. On soft ground the
horse stepped squarely and Travelled
quite freely On hard ground he crept
along on his toes and could not be
urged Off OF "groggy" trot or amble.
The farrier cut his heels well down,
preserving the surface as even as pos
sible and not touching the frog, sole
or bars. Plates were cut from an old
saw-blade, the temper having been
drawn. At the toe, a tongue OF metal
was left and hole punched in it.
The edge OF each plate was struck in
to the beveled upper surface OF the
shoe, giving it q slope and a position
when in place farther off from the sole
than if it were fiat. When shoe and
plate and hoof were ready
the plate was retempered, rivet-
ed to the shoe, and the toe
OF the hoof then rasped or cut out
little, so that the tongue would not
press unduly. Acushion OF tarred oak
UNI was made and laid in after two
nails were driven and before they were
chnched; then the shoe was nailed on
and the clinches driven into notches
cut with the drawknife, not scored out
with the rasp. Finally as much oak
UNI as could be crowded in at the heel
was showed under the plate, care being
taken not to let it lie in Jumps, but to
make an even, firm cushion, bearing
equally on sole and frog. The result
was very satisfactory; the horse has
not taken a lame step since. He trav-
els as if he were on the soft turf OF the
meadow over rough hillpaths and on
macadamized roads. The pads OF
oakum are quite hattened down, but
the frog grows SO fast that they keep
up the pressure, which, after more
than three weeks, has not become so
excessive as 20 be troublesome.

Megrims. He had called several times
more, but Miss Megrims never left the
room. Glenn did not intend to be re-
buffed, but Miss Megrims finally de-
MED him the house or an opportunity
OF seeing Lillian. Then Istepped in
and carried a formal proposal to Miss
Megrims, which l backed up with my
best efforts, but received q formal re-
fusal. Miss Megrims did not intend
that her neice should marry for some
years to come.
My reply to this selfshness was my
becoming letter bearer between the
lovers, and q few days afterward they
met in Central Park, although it must
have been a hard job for Lillian to
have gotten the chance. From the
meeting Glenn rushed into the office,
exclaiming:
cts all right, Doc. We're engaged.
Lilies going to try to soften the old
hippogrif, and if she can't, we'll get
married anyhow and 60 abroad"
Glenn had carried the war into Afri-
ca, and meant to stay there all the
time, he said. He had forgotten all
about megatheriums and prehistorics,
and had no more symptoms and ten
denotes to suicide. In tact, he was
completely cured, and, stranger still,
Miss Megrims had become as robust as
a prize fighter, and not word ever
came out of her mouth about pains
or aches, though she would not give
up daily calls, but always filled them
up with denunciations Of Glenn and
declarations that if Lillian married

by no means to he despised. A company
is in course of organization to erect a
sanit@rium. on the most approved mod

other successful institutions of like
character in various portions of the
Union. Already several prominent
Northern physicians are interested in
the matter, who have great faith in the
salubrOus qualities of our wonderful
climate. Negotiations are now pend
ing concerning the location of the sani-
tarium. and il is believed that by the
end of the week these negotiations will
be completed, and full description OF
the site and plans can then be published.

porter called on Mr.. j. j. Stevens, the
prime mover in the matter, who says
that they mean business. but at present
he could not give full details for good
business reasons. But he gave the as
surance that money was not an object,

far towards gaining confidence in this

concentrate the immense stock business

The pretty maiden. with the cheeks of
pink,
At home at night doth stay.
The fascination of the rOller-rink
Has passed away.
In leisure moments now she Cnitiyates
The chaste chrysanthemum;
She traded oil her pretty roller skates
For chewing gum.
No more she skips out to the matinee
TO show her fancy hose;
She helps her mother on washing day
TO iron clothes.
No more around the Gircumscribed
elipse
On q dudes arm she whirls:
She stays at home at night and sews. or
rips,
Like all good girls.
What caused the change in her? The
gOssips state
Such things make gossips glad
Her beau took out another girl to skate
And she god mad.

Again the pretty maiden's at the rink
All smiles and animation,
And there has been-sO many people

A reconciliation.
