HOW MEN DIE.

If we know all the methods of APP
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and postpone the moment
when surrender becomes inevitable.
In many instances inherent strength
of the body suflices TO enable it TO OPP
pose the tendency toward death.
Many however have lost these forces
TO such an extent that there is little
or no help. In other cases a little aid
to the weakened Lungs will make all
the difference between sudden death
and many years of useful life. Upon
the first symptoms of a Cough, Cold
or any trouble of the Throat or Lungs,
give that old and well-known remedy
-Boschee's German Syrup, careful
trial. 1t will prove what thousands
say of it TO be, the 'benefactor of any
home"

cake can be used in number of ways
Mix one and half teaspoonfuls of
sifted sugar and lump of butter as

and yelks beaten separately, coffee
cup of sweet milk, one-half cup of
corn starch, two slightly heaping tea
spoonfulls of baking powder, and
enough sifted flour to make the batter
as stiff as if for pancakes. Beat all
the ingredients well together. This
makes a good loaf cake; if you want
marble cake add to the batter spices
or grated chocolate ; to make fruit
cake add fruit, spices and little more
baking powder.

RANDOM REMINDERs.-Cut down

cupies a good place without paying
rent.
Put new top on a vigorous tree
which bears little or inferior fruit. 1t
is hearty eater without paying the
full equivalent of its food. Insist on
your full pay, by making it yield good
fruit and plenty of it.
Small trees are often. preferable to
large ones for planting. But large
young trees are always better than
small old trees.
A we'll developed root with small
top is always preferable to large top
with little root, and about as good as
large top with a we'll developed
root
Give us the well developed root, and
we will soon show you some fine top
growth.
How to be successful in planting
trees? Dig broad holes and deep holes
and pack fine, rich, moist surface soil
firmly about the previously moistend
and properly pruned roots. If there
was a spark of life and ambition in
the tree when planted, it will fairly
delight you by its rapid growth.

DISEASES OF PoULTRY.-"The best
and only way in which TO prevent
fowls from having diseases is to look
with unremitting care TO the cleanli-
ness of their food and water, of the
vessels in which they are fed and
watered, as well as to the thorough
cleanliness and proper ventilation of
their houses, or have wet floor under
them. Then of course, in confinement
or on limited range, one must supply
them with what they could find for
themselves, if free. \ dust bath, part
ashes and part dirt, with little sui
phur added, ground shells and bones,
fine gravel, meat of some kind, two or
three times a week. onions, also, and
q supply Of charcoal broken up for
them. and constant daily supply Of
vegetable or green stuff of some kind.
This is the doctrine of the poultry
business rs we have been trying to
preach il. Keep the hens clean and
well fed, avoid dirt, hunger and wet
floors, and you will prevent disease
getting foothold, and prevention is
better than cure. If, from exposure
to q cold rain, or some such cause,
bird shows signs of roup, administer
a slug or two, separate her from the
others, keep her warm, give her
strengthening food, including some
bits of raw meat, or a little milk, and
| she may be cured, but for an advanced
case of roup, or an attack Of cholera
| should unspairingly use the Ratchet
and block, burying the carcasses.
