The Hungry Veil.
From the Baltimore Sun.

One of the laughable results to which
the followers of the present fashion of
wearing the Hading wells must often
complain, is their inability to take any
refreshments at afternoon teas. It is so
much trouble to unite the ribbon tapes
that hold the veil in place under the
chin that it is rarely ever attempted,
and consequently they are obliged to re-
main outside the dining-room. Some
body has aptly renamed this volumin-
GUS face covering the hungry veil.'

Winter Care of Fowls.

The Philadelphia Records poultry
expert urges the iact that one of the
causes of lack of eggs in the winter
season is that the fowls are fed too
much grain, and do not have the exer-
else so necessary for thrift and comfort
From the former extreme of allowing
the birds to "shift for themselves" thew
are now too closely confined and do not
receive the food necessary for the pro-
done from feeding grain exclusively
than from any other cause. 1 he laying
her should not be allowed to get into a
fat condition. In fact, hens intended
Sor market should be separated from
the layers, as the food for one class
should not be the same as Tor the other
The first essential is warm, dry quarters
and the next is variety of food. The
hen must have bulky food, like animals,
and cannot be kept In good condition
on grain alone.
An excellent mode of feeding is to
chop clover hay into half-inch lengths,
scald it, sprinkle the mess with bran,
and feed it twice day with an ounce
OF meat three times per week to each
hen. Such a mixture will be much bet
ter and cheaper than giving them moth
ing but grain The hens should also be
given scratching place (cut straw or
dry earth) into which a handful Of
grain is thrown, so as to induce them to
scratch and work. AS eggs are highest
in winter, and the cost of producing
lower compared with the price, the
management Of large flock of hens
will give employment to some wto 9TH
erwise would be idle during the winter
season, and the labor is therefore only
applied from necessity; but stock of
100 hens Cam be made to pay 800 before
the season for low prices arrives, while
larger SUM may pe secured with arti-
fetal modesof raising broilers for the
market The hens will afford an oppor-
tunity to many for winter work if ad-
vantage be taken OF opportunities and
favorable location.

Salt for Stock.

In an article on salt for domestic ami

lowing statements in regard to it's eff

effects of salt when given in moderate
doses, and during the early part of its
administration, are stimulant and tonic,
and are besides particularly favorable

piled two or three times a day leaves
little to be desired. Sprains of the
muscles, tendons or joints may be sue
cessfully treated In the same manner,
or when practicable, cloth wet with
the solution may be kept constantly
applied. 1t may also be used in cases
of lymphangitis, infilrations, dropsical
swellings and many skin diseases. A
weaker solution, consisting of a tea
spoonful of salt to glass of water, has
been found exceedingly useful in super

Diseases of Poultry.

Fowls are subject to almost as many
diseases as aff1ict the human family.
Beginners in the business of poultry
raising become alarmed and disheart-
ened on the first appearance of disease
in their f1ocks. Especially at this sea-
son OF the year, and in the colder lati-
tudes, where fowls are suddenly forced
into close quarters after the summers
freedom, roup and catarrh cause seri-
Gus trouble. Roup is occasioned by Sc
we're and neglected colds. A thick, fet-
id discharge Issues from the nostrils.
The membranes of the nose, throat,
larynx and wind pipe are actually in

A Wasteful Practice,

One of the most wasteful practices in
sheep husEandry is the too common
one of feeding on the ground. Go
where you will you find some farmers
feeding their sheep on the ground in
the worst weather that ever stormed.
They throw the hay on the soaking,
wet ground, and i'll wet days much of it
is lost. The expense of making feed
troughs and racks is SO small that the
waste of one seasons feeding on the
ground to fair-slzed flock would more
than pay for all necessary appurtenances
of economical feeding. What is more,
as every fockmaster knows, sheep are
very particular about their feed, and if
it is the least bit damaged will not
touch 1t. And this system of feeding
often forces the flock to 60 without a
meal rather than touch the feed when
wet and muddy. Consideration for
dumb animals should have some weight
with their owners; but if it has not the
knowledge that the flock will thrive
much better, and the loss will be much
less in number, should certainly have
the effect of turning the farmers atten-
ton to the advantages Of feeding troughs
and racks.-Praet5c9t Farmer.

is liable to terminate in d1phtheritic
roup, with cankers and ulcers. The
digestive system becomes deranged,
and the bird then is fit only Tor the
block.
1t is discouraging to young fanciers
to be told that the best remedy. for a
sick fowl is the Ratchet. Possibly the
Dlrd has cost neat sum of money, and
Its death means material loss. Des-
perate remedies need be employed
only IN clearly defined, desperate cases.
First try lnilder means, for incipient
diseases of this character can be over
CONS aud the fowl restored to a mark
etable condition. Oh course, we assume
the honesty O all breeders in SAYING
this much; because no honorable per-
son would slaughter and sell half
cured fowl. But bird that has once
been seriously i'll should not be put into
the breeding pen. Avoid the causes of
illness, first of all. If. in spite of care,

nostrils with lotion made by dissolv-
ing half an ounce of sulphate OF copper

Pills may be given with safety and ev-

Soft food o nutritious character should
be administered, although sparingly,
and the diseased fowl isolated from its

A frightful cause of disease is filth.

Importance of Balanced Rations.
Animals may starve to death while
fat, starve because they have not bal
anced rations that build up and sustain
their frames, food that may form bone
and muscle. had proof of this once
In lot of Chester white pigs that [
thought would make so very fine an ap-
pearance that every one who saw them
might see the superiority of the breed.
Well, L led those pigs corn meal and
made them fat, very fat, that was all.
One died, then another, until had lost
four or five, and had begun to think
there was something the matter with
the feeding. Then [ examined the
dead pigs, and found there was little
blood, very little muscle, and the small
bones had so little strength that / could
break them almost as easily as pipe
stems. They had starved to death
while fat. Then | changed the food for
those that had survived, and they be-
gan to gain at once. | had only to bal
ance their rations, to feed what would
make bone, muscle and hood. That
was when | knew less than I know
now, but in that unfortunate expert
ence there was a good lesson that
brought profit. 1 may cite another
case, a test on Cornell University farm.
Six lambs were selected as equal as pos
sible. Three were fed on timothy hay
and corn, and the other three on clover
hay, oil meal, roots and other feed, in
such variety that rations were well
balanced. AT the end of three months
the lambs fed in large part on corn
meal had not gained one-half the
weight added to the other three. All
the fault was in unbalanced rations.-

Fill the lee House,


While the farm lies buried in its win
try shroud, the ice crop is ready Tor the
harvest. No farmer who has once en-
JOyed the advantages of having a sup
ply of ice during the warm months will
willingly fOrego them for singe sea-
SON. for ice in midsummer Is not only a
convenience, but a. luxury. Although
ice is sometimes formed late in winter,
there are seasons when, if it is not Sc
cured early, the chance is lost for the
year. In this country it will do to cat
ice when it is four to six inches thick,
but in the more Northern regions thick
CT ice can be obtained. If the ice is
covered with snow it must first be
scraped off: Then lines are marked on
Its surface for the saw. An inch board,
six feet long, with cleat firmly at
tached across the lower end, is used to
bring the blocks out out of the water.
Then they are showed. along the sur
face to the sleigh, into which they are
loaded by means of an. inclined plane of
planks or boards. In packing in the
ice-house surround the ice with some
nom-eonducting substance and provide
perfect drainage at the bottom and
ventilation at the top. Sawdnst is one
of the best non-conduators, about one
foot LIN thickness all around being suf-
ficient. The interstices between the
blocks would be filed with the same
substance. No expensive structure is
needed for an ice house. Anything
that will hold sawdust is sufficient for
practical purposes. In, the absence of
other receptacles, one corner of the
haymow or woodshsd, partitioned off
with boards, will keep the ice just as eff
fectually as a more costly structure.
When there is no other convenience, Or
the ice house will not hold quite enough
the supply will be helped out by MAX
ing stack. Lay down floor of rails,
upon which stack the blocks as COM
pactly as possible. Cover thickly With
non-conductive maternal, such as straw,
marsh hay or c0rnstalks. Finish the
top so as to she'd rain, and put boards
and rails around the sides to keep the
covering in position. En- removing the
ice open always the same place, and at
the top. II the stack is large and we'll
built, the ice will keep the greater part
of tie summer nearly as well as in
costly Buffalo Express.

pYRoTECmNIC WONDERS.

A New York papers Washington
dispatch says the Inauguration of
President Harrison will be the occa-
sion of the grandest and most costly
display of fireworks, public or pri-
vate, ever seen in America, even
eclipsing the gigantic symphony of
colors that dashed its glories against
the sky on the night following the
opening of the Brooklyn bridge. This
exhibition will cost $4,000, and the
Inauguration committee has awarded
the contract aad adopted the pyro-
technic program, which will cover an
hour and half, beginning at 8
o'clock in the evening.
A presidential salute OF aerial mar
rooms, exploding at height of 500
feet, will open the affair. 1t will
close with simultaneous fight Of
$500 immense rockets. Those who
remember the swish and roar and
sudden conAagration in the clouds
when 1000 rockets were fired togeth-
err from the Brooklyn bridge can get
faint idea OF what the effect of this
tremendous bouquet of fire will be.
As the thousands Of large rockets
reach their highest altitude they will
burst, and fill the air with purple,
gold, silver, crimson, emerald, car
mine, blue, yellow, and every hue
and tint that imagination can pict-
ure, as il a thousand rainbows were
struck with lightning, with fiery drag
ons and golden rain twisting and
dropping through it all. This will be
the largest flight OF rockets ever fred
in the United States. The remainder
of the display will be equal in mag
ni6cence to the beginning.

In an interview on Samoa, Count
Herbert Bismarck said:
Public opinion in Germany is not
excited over the Samoan question, as
is shown by the stand taken by the
German press, and the German Gov
eminent has never allowed the least
doubt to obscure the fact that all that
is desired in Samoa is to uphold the
lawful and orderly state of things
hitherto existing, together with the
maintenance of peace and order, and
10 quiet certain lotteries who from in
terested motives sought to cast sus-
picion upon the plain, straightfor-
ward purpose of Germany. They
would certainly not find believers
among sensible people, for it is one
of the most important and distinctive
traits of German policy that it's en-
gagements should be honorably car
ried out and subterfuges avoided
This distinctive trait is admitted by
the whole world and cannot again be
made subject of dispute by secret
agitators. The whole world know.
that when Germany says black OF
white, black or white it means.

The Salt Lake Tribune does not
see why the question OF how German
Americans would stand, in case of
real war between Germany and the
United States, was ever asked. The
Germans have much pride and many
holy recollections of Fatherland, but
the great majority Of those in this
country came here poor; from land
where the young men are all subject
to consumption; where the utmost
energies of ar industrious man point,
as rule, to little more than living,
they reached country whose ample
fields and full opportunities are open
to them, and in that field they have
reached plane that they could never
have dreamed of reaching had they
remained away, They love their
children better than Fatherland, and
while they might bewail any sorrows
that might come to their first homes
they would offer their lives to KEEP
