AMONG THE POULTRY.

OFTEN poultry suffers for the want of
water.
Fowls will fatten faster if they are
confined than if allowed to Iun at large.
LEAVES or chaff make an excellent
litter for the floor in the poultry houses.
In sending eggs to market better
price can be realized if they are washed
clean.
THRRE are some breeds that will not
thrive on damp clay soil; dry sandy
loan is best.
FArTENING fowls should be fed at
least five times day all that they will
eat up clean.
POULTRY will be more comfortable in
and granaries.
IN fattening poultry many persons
neglect to feed often enough to secure
the best results.
If the quarters are so cold that water
freezes readily the hens can hardly be
expected to lay eggs regularly.
BY scattering leaves over the floor
and scattering small grain among them
good opportunity for exercise will be
afforded the hens.
AT the first sign of disease all of the
sick fowls should be separated from the
well ones and be put into warm, dry
place to themselves.
THE best plan of supplying charcoal
to the poultry is to burn corn, not black
but nicely Drowned; give them all that
they will eat up clean.
THE advantage in securing good
home market for your poultry and eggs
is that you save transportation and
commission charges at least.
In nearly all cases it is best to have
two rooms to the poultry house, one for
nests and the other for roosts. Have
the roosting place well lighted.
ONE of the cheapest and best plans
of fumigating the poultry house is by
burning sulphur in it and keeping it
shut up tight two or three hours.
ONE of the principal advantages with
guineas is that they are great insect and
worm destroyers if allowed free range
where poultry are kept, more especial
ly for eggs. 1t will usually be best to
select some of the non-sitting breeds.
POTATOES, beets, carrots or turnips
will all be rel1hed by the poultry dur
ing the winter. They can be fed whole,
sliced and with bran or oil meal
sprinlled over them, or they can be
boiled and mashed,
If oil-meal is to be fed to poultry the
better plan is to mix it with bran, feed
ing small quantity at first and grad
ually increasing; too much given at
once before they get accustomed to it
often induces diarrhea.
IF an incubator is to be used, and
especially if very early broilers are to
be raised, arrangements should be
made as soon as possible so as to secure
both the incubator and brooder and
have ON hand ready for use.

A PURSLANE TOOL.
According to It's Inventor 1t Is Capital
Contrivance.

According to It's Inventor 1t Is Capital
Contrvance.
In answer TO recent inquiry / in
close a rough draft of a tool / have
built for use in eradicating purslane.
The one l made is for use in ny grape
nursery where the rows are eighteen to
twenty inches apart. Where rows are
farther apart it would have to be
larger.
This tool has much the look of culti-
vator at work with the ends reversed.
In using it we let the weeds get large
enough to pull nicely from in the row,
cultivate with common horse or hand
cultivator; following with the tool de-
scribed, and if the rows are not too long
it will clean them perfectly. If it should
be necessary to unload before getting
to the end of row, lift the tool without
stopping the horse; this leaves it in a
bunch, when it can be carried from the

one side nearly one-half the length, to
face the wind, and be left at its full
width on the opposite side. These
pieces are then halved together at the
center. Make of tin six cone
shaped buckets "a inches in di-
ameter and fasten them strongly
to the ends of the arms with
the points on the sharp edge side of the
arm. The other sets of arms and buck
cts are made in the same way, excepting
that the central set is 3 feet shorter
than the lower set, with buckets 4
inches less in diameter, and the top
arms feet shorter, with buckets 8
inches less in diameter. For the shaft
use gas pipe one inch through. Bore
holes in blocks and prt them between
the sets of arms. TtzSse blocks must
be feet long For the jump pole use
a strong, sound stick 2X2 incaes square.
The triangle, which changes the crank
motion given by the arms to up and
down motion for pumping, is 11xS
inches and the pitnan , inches square
and feet long, or just right to cor
respond with the spread of the tower.
To make knuckle joint for the tri-
angle, use any old nut about ~ inches
square and drill shallow hole in each
of it's four sides to work on the points
of the bolts or set screws. BY studying
the picture attentively few minutes,
the movement can be plainly seen. For
simplicity, cheapness and durability
this mill cannot be surpassed and is
noiseless. 1t will do the work of 500
mill. If the pump holds half n pint per
stroke and makes 20 strokes per minute,
525 gallons of water will have been
raised in a day of seven hours.--J. o.

HOW no Make Prlme nutter.

1t is the aggregate of little things
that makes success of almost any bust
ness. The last session of the New
York Dairymen's Association declared:
l. Milk from healthy cows only should
be used. 2. Avoid excitement of the
cows, produced by chasing with dogs or
in any other manner. Harsh treatment
lessons the quantity and Injuries the
quality of the milk. 8. Cows should
have an abundance of suitable
food and pure water, and salt
where they can have ready access
to it every day. 4. Cows should be
kept from all foul odors and not
be allowed to eat or drink any thing
that will give taint to the milk. 8.
Milking should be done at regular hours,
with clean hands, clean udders and clean
stables, and the milk kept from any
communicating odors. o. Milk should
be strained Immediately after being
drawn, and not be disturbed until
creamed. Z. Milk pals and other YES
sells for keeping milk and cream should
be thoroughly cleansed-frst well
washed and scalded with boiling water,
and then aired to keep them perfectly

tions My windmill will go as high as
90 revolutions per minute A 30-foot
tower is built and arranged as the en-.

feet long and AKA inches are needed for
posts. Two of these are fastened to-
gether end to end to make the total
height. This is easily accomplished by
mailing foot boards on two sides of
the joint, the boards to go inside the
tower when it is put up. Three hun

boards inches wide are required for
bands and braces. These are nailed on

sol DE RANCICo DARTIAGA.


The inscription does not quite make
the circuit of the bell, and the space be-
tween the two ends is ornamented with
little diagonal figures, which to Mr..
Miller suggested the feur de us of
France, but they seemed too regular in
shape for this design. A plain part of
the bell is ornamented in the same man
ner. There is no date, but the bell rs
discolored and seems to be eaten by it's
long burial. The scholarship of Eliza
beth has been unable to decipher the
inscription, and as there was never a
convent or similar institution situated
near the place where the relic was un-
earthed it is natural conclusion of the
owner that in case it contains precious
metals it is part of buried treasure.
1t seems probable that the bell once
belonged to a Portuguese monastery.
The scholar is encouraged in this be-
lief by the fact that several hundred
dollars worth of Sanish doubloons were
several years ago found in the Sound
near the mouth of the creek on whose
bank the bell was discovered. Mr.
Miller was first persuaded that there
was precious metal in the bell by his
friend Joseph Metzner, who is molder
in the foundry of Moore Brothers and
has some knowledge of metallurgy.
The property on which the bell was dis
covered belongs to Mr.. Forsy TIN.

a VALUABLE RELIC.
Elizabeth, N. IL, Has Genuine Curiosity
in nm Old Bell.

Elizabeth, n. u, Has "a Genuine Curiosity
In nm Old Bell.
A curious bell that has doubtless had
an eventful history has been recently
dug up in Elizabeth, N. j. Workmen
were digging vault in lot near the
"Old Landing" on Elizabeth creek, and
about three feet below tho surface
found this bell, mouth down. The men
sold it to Henry Miller for trine, and
he now has it in his possession. Mr..
Miller filed into the bell, and was in
duced to believe that it contained gold
by its yellow appearance. So he had
some fragments tested by several jewell
ers in Elizabeth, and much to his de-
light they all said the metal contained
large percenta tage of gold. If the tes-
timony of these men can be relied upon
Mr.. Miller has treasure, for the bell
weighs about forty pounds.
Mr.. Miller is aday laborer with large
family, and such an unexpected fortune
would be peculiarly acceptable. The
bell is SO inches in circumference at the
base and tapers in long, graceful curves
to the top, which is fourteen inches
high. To this top is affixed the crown
by which the bell was swung. The
crown is about three inches across, two
inches high, and three-fourths of an
inc b in thickness. In shape it is coro-
net, with three apertures for fastening
1t to beam. About three inches above
the rim of the bell runs this inscription,
| in half-inch relief letters:

not Billings.
He had known her about six years, and
had always held her in high esteem.
''Your wife says you walk out nights
with the widow, Mr.. Smith,"
"We!l, that's true, it's no business of
hers. When it comes to that, she amt
got no jurisdiction over me tall" said he
as if indignant.
