Diseases of Poultry.

Fowls are subject to almost as many
diseases as affiict the human family. Be-
ginneEs in the business of poultry raising
become alarmed and disheartened on the
iTst appearance of disease in their hOcks.
Especially at this season of the year, and
III the colder ATTITUDES, when fowls are
suddenly forced into close quarters after
the summers freedom, roup and catarrh
cause serious trouble. Roup Is occasion
ed by severe and neglected colds. A thick,
foetid discharge issues from the nostrils.
The membranes of the throat, larynx and
wind pipe are acutely iDfamed. If even
taken at this stage the disease is durable,
but, If neglected longer, it Is liable to
terminate in 6iphtheritio rOup, with
capkers and ulcers. The digestive system
becomes deranged, and the bird then is
only fit for the block.
It is disoouraging to young fanciers to
be told that the best remedy for sick
fowl is the Ratchet. Possibly the afflicted
bird has Just cost neat sum of money
and its death means q material loss.
Desperate remedies need to be employed
only in clearly defined desperate cases.
First try milder means, for incipient
diseazes of this character can be overcome
and the fowl restored TO a remarkable
condition. OF course, We assume the
honesty of all breeders in saying this
much; because no honorable person
would slaughter and sell half cured fowl.
at bird that has once been seriously
ill should rot be put into the breeding
pen. Avoid the causes of illness, first of
ell. If IN spite of care roup comes on,
wash the mouth and no5triis with lotion
made by dissolving half an ounce of
sulphate of copper In a quart of soft
water. Soft food of nutritious character
should be administered, although
sparipgly, and me diseased fowl isolated
from its mates. ROup is contagious.
A frIghtful cause Of disease is filth.
Badly ventilated, overcrowded and unciean
houses will induce fatal ailments. Fowls
will. like ourselves, die quickly if subject
ed visiated atmosphere.

horse learns his name as readily as
does boy. 1t is very important that he
should know it. 1t is interesting to see
teamsters who handle four or six horses
constantly in handling heavy loads about
cities, and see how they have each horse
trained to do just whar is asked of him
and do it promptly. A sharp call of the
name of horse will do more good when
a hard pull is wanted or a quick move
ment is required than cut with a whip
or all the loud yelling or whooping in a
general way th,-t can be done. A team of
two or more horses is not satisfactory
one to Manages unless each horse is suit
ed we'll TO the place he occupies in it and
prompt to do his part when called upon,
and there is no better way to teach horse
to act Independently of the other horses
than TO call MINI by name and give him to
understand what you want him to do.

THE MOUNTAINS OF LIFE.
J. G. CLARK.

There's land far away, mid the stars we are
told.
Where they know how the sorrows of time,
Where the purple waters wander through val
leys of gold,
And life is pleasure sublime;-
rTis the land of our God, It's the home Of the
soul.
Where the ages of splendor eternally roll;
goal.
On the evergreen Mountains of Life.
Our gaze cannot soar to that beautiful land
But the visions have told of its b iss.
And our souls by the gate of its gardens are
famed,
When we faint in the desert of this;
And We sometimes have longed for its holy re-
pose
When our spirits were torn with temptation and
woes,
And we've drunk from the tide of the river that
flows
From the evergreen Mountains of Life.
Oh, the stars never tread the blue heaven at
night,
But we think there the ransomed have trod
And the day never smiles from the palace OF
light,
But we feel the bright smile of our God
We are travelling homeward through the changes
and gloom,
To a kingdom where pleasures increasingly
bloom,
And our guide is the glory that shines through
the tomb,
From the evergreen Mountains of Life.

The Farmers Workshop

During the comparative leisure of the
winter season the frugal and ingenious
farmer will fiud good many days when
it Is too cold and stormy to work with
advantage, at cutting and hauling wood
or any other farm work and when the
otherwise idle time can be used TO excel
lent advantage in making various repairs
upon the farm tools, wagons and build
ings and for this purpose good shop is
needed.
1t should be provided with stove to
make it comfortable in severe weather,
and as the risk of fire in such an estab.
lishment is considerable, it should stand
little apart from other buildings.
The amount and kind of work which
may be done IN such shop will vary
much with the different wants and me-
chanlcal capacity of various farmers.
Every farmer must have some of the
simpler carpenters tools, such as cross
cut and rip-saw, claw-hammer, hatcnet,
axe, set of auger bits, or chisels aud
planes, also square and level. He will
also want a tool chest or box with lock,
to keep the tools In place, and a good
bench at which to work with plane, etc.
These simple tools can be provided at a
cost of ten or fifteen dollars, and will
save their cost ten or fifteen times over,
If the owner has any mechanical tact at
all in using them. It IS only a question
of tact and mechanical capacity, and the
nature and kind of work done on the farm
which will determine how much of this
sort of work can be done with advantage.
Probably the next tools TO the common
carpenters tools above mentioned which
will be found useful, will be a common
f1fteen-cent glass cutter: few GLACIERS
tacks and some putty, together with box
or two of such sized glass as fits, or may
easily be cut to fit the various windows on
the farm. On farms where much hot bed
glass or greenhouses are used this equiv p
ment is quite indispensable, and is almost
in daily use in winter.
If the farm manager has much leisure,
time and a taste for mechanical work, he
will add to his stock of tools some OF the
more delicate carpenters tools, such as
the extension cent ter bits, the bevel, some
gouges, and panel saw; and If he is fond
of working in iron, he will want wise,
anvil, a small forge and some tongs, set
of dies for cutting screw threads or bolts,
ETC., 8ome files, drilling machine, a set
of drills, etc. These tools are consider a.
bly, more expensive than the car penter's
tools, but some of them are almost as
necessary; namely, wise, some files and
small anvil.
We have known some progressive farm
ers who make almost constant use of such
shop, especially in winter, and WHO fad
it not only great convenience and saw
ing of expense in repairs and construo-
ton, but most useful meaps of instruct
ing their sons in the use of mechanical
tools. Indeed there are many farmers
sons WHO have natural tact for this sort
of work, which should be cultivated most
carefully in youth. The farm may thus
be made to offer one more to the already
many and powerful attractions which it
offers as the best place to develop true

In the soft autumn air, in the drip of the rain

Brings back renewal Of all the old pain.
The ringing rock, and the singing brock
Repeat every accent, each tone. each look;

And the wild-roSe Scent-can I ever endures
The CLINT of the sun on the dew or the frost
Reflects in my heart the hope have lost;
While the wind as il sobS and signs in the trees
Just heap in my pathway the summers dead

II could but forget as 1 have forgiv'n,
The way would not seem nrear to heaven
Why can't forget it, and putt way;
Go bury it deep, the clay to the clay.
But nothing as yet has effaced the scene,
Not the mountains or valleys that lay between,
Only Time S invisible hand can erase
The memory that's staring me in the face.

The Readings Position.
PIrTsBuR0, July SO.-The Robert Nor
ris Land and Coal company, Of New
York, has filed six suits in ejectment in
the United States court against the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
company ct al. The plaintiffs allege
that the defendants are in possession of
S,O4S acres OF land the title to which Is
vested in the plaintiffs. They ask that
in three of the cases possession be given
them and in the three other suits claim
damages in the amounts of 500, 600,
$500, 900, and $500, 900 respectively.
The damages are claimed for coal
taken from the premises. Only the
simple precipes have been filed, and
give very little details of the claim.
Judge James Ryah, of Pottsville: ex-
Governor Henry NJ. Hoyt, of Philadel-
phia, and A. w. Vinton and g. Moyer
Zalick, of New York, are the plaintiffs Is
attorneys.
Readings Claims.
Reading officials admit that rumors OF
this action have been for some time cur
rent. but claimed that they were un-
worthy Of attention. The Readings
ownership and lesseeship of its coal
lands Is beyond question, IL is said, and
nothing can disturb the companys'
claims. It was stated that the rumors
have been circulated by the bears for the
purpose of depressing the stock and
bonds of the company.
A well known lawyer, who is inti-
mately acquainted with Readings af-
fairs, said: 1T is all nonsense Some
years ago a man named Newell took
possession of some of the cOmpany's
lands and brought suit against it. The
Reading soon showed that he had no ti-
tie, and it was thought advisable to
bring suit against him for forclbly entry
and fraud. When Mr.. Gowen was presi-
dent this man wrote to him, agreeing to
withdraw the suits for 100000. OF
course no attention was paid to the let
ter, and afterwards those parties were
glad to get off without being imprisoned.
Since that time there has been more
talk about renewal of the suits. The
case amounts to nothing, and was kicked
out of the courts years ago The par.
tes have no title whatever"
