Pointers for POultrymen.

To judge the health of fowl carefully note
the size and color of the comb. 1t will be a
bright red il a good healthy condition is en-
joyed by the fowl; but if otherwise her comb
will be of pale color. If it is pale be careful
in the diet Of the fowl. This should consist Of
a variety Of food, including a warm breakfast
meat quite often with wheat screenings. Cay
enne pepper should be mixed with food given
them occasionally. Above all things keep the
poultry-house clean. and free from lice and
other vcrmin. If the fowls are laying well do
not feed them with much corn, as this is fatten-
ing, and has tendency to reduce the number
Of eggs.
THE YOUNG CHICKS,
several months old, should be given milk in
some form or other. They should also be sup
piled with plenty of wheat, ground bone, and
oyster shells, with dash of pepper and salt. An
occasional feed of sulphur and ginger will be
beneficial to them. II they begin to droop and
die from no apparent cause. it may be con-
cluded that they are suffering from distemper
TO cure this put bromide of potassium in the
per head, adjusting the quantity of water so
that all of it will be drunk in one day. Give
them this every alternate three days until
twelve days have elapsed, when they will prob
ably have recovered. Z. P. s.
Every year the farmers dread the potato rot
which has done great damage in seasons past
The rot first appeared in Ireland in 1s47 and
was imported into this country but recently.
1t is a fungus which grows within the plant
filling the cells with white threads, which bear
small balls or capsules containing black spores.
1t is these black spores which discolor the po-
tatoes and from which the new plants spring.
Ii diseased potatoes are left in the ground they
infect the land and propagate pest for the
next seasons crop Of potatoes. When the po-
toes die and rot in the ground the small spores
turn into dust and rise in the air to be carried
away to some other field. The disease spreads
rapidly In this way. The best way to destroy
the germ Is to gather up all of the potatoes
small and large, and boil them for the fowl and
swine. This will kill the spores and prevent
the spread Of the disease. Never feed them to
the animals before boiling them.
KEEP THE POTATOES DRY.
The damaged potatoes should be kept from
the sound ones after they are dug. 1t is well,
then, to dust the sound ones with fresh, air.
siaked lime, which will destroy any adherIng
spores. Keep the potatoes dry, too, as this will
tend to keep the spores dormant In selecting
seed potatoes never take one that shows any
black places; then roll the cuttings in air-saked
lime. ThePotato rot is strictly contagious and
1t should be killed wherever it manifests itself
II every farmer would be as careful in dealing
with his crop Of potatoes the rot would soon be
exterminated and never heard from again in
THIS country. GEORGE WILSON.

There was an instant of silence. A stern,
steady gaze on the part of the older man; a
firm front and as steady gaze on that of the
younger. Then this terrible father, this tyrant
with the violent temper, turned quietly toward
his child and took her hand in his.

A Good CUP of Tea.

Tea is one of the most delicious of
drinks, but few persons know how to
prepare it so that it is refreshing, palat-
able, and in q certain sense, aesthetic.
Common custom in this country makes
its preparation one of the servants du-
ties. 1t therefore comes to the table al
most always black with too much
strength and stepping, if, perchance, it
has not boiled. 1t then has an herby
flavor, and no more resembles genuine
tea than the electric light is comparable
to moonlight. Tea should always be
made on the table, and three minutes
will suffice for its compounding. Secure
a small copper kettle of boiling water,
with an alcohol lamp beneath, a pretty
tea caddy of choice tea--for good tea is
really economical--a delicate china pot
and cups and saucers, and lastly q
pair of fair hands that serve
a graceful and gracious lady, and you
have the ingredients for cup of tea in
which the possibilities of aesthetic pleas
ure are only limited by the sensibility Of
the recipient. Take tiny lump of sugar
if you please and even thin slice of
lemon, but do not spoil the exquisite
flavor and winelike color by even drop
of milk or cream. If iced tea is desired,
pour the freshly made tea into q glass in
which are Jumps of ice and sugar. 1t is
often prepared and put away to stand in
the ice chest till required, but by this
means the delicate aroma of the tea
passes away, and there is consequent
fatness perceptiblc to everyone who
knows how to make and appreciate the
rightly made cup of tea. Boston Herald.

The Bees Physical Make.Irn.

The little bee, that is, the worker, is
horny skinned child of toll. He is in
cased in rings and shields of smooth
horn to shield him against attacks of his
own species, and he tolls as long as
there is light. He has not got backbone
like man or mule but instead he has
a little sting that serves his purpose just
as well, and thus manages to maintain
his rights. Between his tongue and
sting there is complicated mechanism
that is of great use to the farmer and to
nature. Aside from the honey that he
distils, and which is worth thousands of
dollars annually to the farmer and to
commerce, his habit.o poklng his head
into flowers and covering it with pollen,
which he brushes off in other flowers,
renders him benefactor to nature in
fertiizing flowers.
The bee is good flyer, but as his
wings are smaller in proportion to his
body than are these of the eagle to the
king of birds, he has to flap them more
frequently, so he flaps away at the rate
of 446 flaps to the minute. He has no
lungs, but a system Of tiny air tubes ex-
tend through all parts Of the body, and
these he packs with air when he wants
to fly. Neither has he heart, but q
dorsal vessel that pumps the blood tc
the head. The head, as magniied on
the screen, is not beautiful object, and
as it is not the centre Of the nervous sys

A New Kind Of Intemperance.

Strong drink, however is not the mon

equally baneful in its effect. This drug
is antipyrine. The chemical name for it
is "dimethy -loxquimzini," but as it is
rather long and might not be easily
pronounced by ladies who are not ortho-
graphical experts, it has been called
simply antipyrine and appeares as such
in the medical books. 1t Is a white
powder, slightly bitter, and soluble in
water Until about year ago it was
prescribed for fevers only, but French
medical college recommended it for
headaches and other pains and disorders,
and in this way it has gained its grasp
on so many thoughtIess and nervous wo-
men. In Chicago and many other pla-
ccs it is said that the habit is gaining
with alarming rapility, for the women
take it for every ill, and cannot believe
that its soothing effect can have any
evil results until the habit is thoroughly
fixed upon them. 1t produces different
