Fowls with Water Crop.

Some poultry men have more or less
trouble with ailing chickens. would
not, says writer in Farm and Home,
advocate doctoring them, preferring the
Ratchet in most cases, but occasionally
a case Is met that can be cured. The
symptom of a bird with water crop is a
poor appetite, but it Graves and drinks
water until its crop is distended and be-
comes sour To treat take bowl of
warm water, in which is dissolved q
quarter of teaspoon of baking soda
and take the fowls head in the left hand
and with the body under the arm, hold
ing the head downward, with the neck
extended. Hold the beak open with the
right hand and manipulate the contents
of the crop down and out of the mouth.
Then give good dose of soda water; a
spoonful is sufficient Manipulate as
before, rinsing out the crop we'll and be-
ing careful not to irritate the crop so as
to cause inflamm alton. Coop the chick
by itself, feed sparingly few days with
bread and scraps from the table, with a
good sprinkling of charcoal. Put five
drops of nitric acid in the drinking
water This will generally cure it.

spending holes in the lower end of the
tongue receive these rounds when put
in place. Pins of wire with bent heads
are put through the movable rounds
and one of the side pieces, also through
the second round and tongue, to hold
all in place. The tongue can be taken
out when the ladder is required for COM
mon use.
No 9 is made on the same principle,
but is shorter. In this the lowest round
is five feet long and the tongue is re-
yersed 1t rests on the under side of
the topmost round, the second round
passing through the second hole. The
tongue is then drawn back until it
cramps between the rounds, and it is
fastened there by hooking the wires to
staples driven into the side pieces at
the proper distance down. The wires
then act as braces. When standing,
the ladder forms tripod. A piece OF
wood usually has to be fastened to the
side of the tongue where it touches the
top round, to give sufficient spread. II
these ladders do not stand too slanting,
twig the size of ones finger project
ing from limb is sufficient to hold
them in place. The short ladder will
not stand we'll if over eight feet long

branches, and the tongue can be ex.

With both a one-and-one-half-story
house can be painted without marring
the fresh paint or erecting scaffold.
To paint the gable ends the tongue OF
the long ladder can rest on the shingles
at the edge of the roof and it will
stand square, but an ordinary ladder
will not The painting can proceed
down until the siding can be reached
by standing on the short ladder as a
tripod. Farm and Home.

The Department of Agriculture esti-
mates domestic consumption of corn a
Is bushels per capita-which accords
with computations made by the writer,
showing that we consume 30 bushels
per capita, of which, however, l bushel
goes abroad in the form of animals and
animal product, etc.-making our eX-
ports, in the form of grain and second
airy products, about 2 bushels per cap
tia, leaving of the 80 bushels produced
yearly some 2S bushels for purely do
nestle use. The average yield per
acre having been during the past 10
years "a. l bushels, it follows that each
unit of population requires 1.16 acres of
corn for home needs and GA of an acre
to provide the animal products we ex-
port, or a total of 1.20 acres per capita.
However, as tho last 20 crops Show a
higher average than the last 1O-say
25.2 bushels-perhaps it is best to base
our estimates upon the assumption that
the crop OF the future will show yield
as great as that of the longer term, in
which case domestic consumption, in
GLIDING a proportionate expectation of
animal food, will require l. Is acres of
corn per capita, and with a population
of "a, 100000 we require 70, 100000 acres,
and in the corn-fields of 1890, covering
7S,S00, 900, we have-or should have,
were the crop an average one-5, 200, 600
ac:es more than needed. and which is
worse than useless, as the surplus but
serves to depress the price of the whole,
and this surplus corn acreage can we'll
be turned into wheat-felds (until such
time as we require more corn) as there
is prospect for fair prices, the world
being short of wheat, and such men as
FL. Kains-Jackson think it will con-
tinue to be.

PECULIAR INFATUATION.

Different Methods of Following the In.
junction "Love Ono Another"
Do men ever fall in love with each otherl
Women do. Not long ago young woman
In New Jersey was married to q youthful
laborer on her fathers farm. Sometime
afterward it was discovered that the hus-
band was female; the young wife refused,
however, though earnestly entreated by her
friends to give up her chosen consor+. The
strangest part of the discovery was the fact
that the bride knew her husband was q
woman before she was led to the altar.
If men do not exhibit this strange infatu-
alton for one of their own sex, they at least
oftentimes give evidence of the fact that
they love one another. There are many in
stances on record where one man has given
his life for another. There are many more
instances where men have given life to
another.
1t is proud possession-the knowledge
that one has saved a precious human life.
Meriden, Conn.,, is the home of such a
happy man. John II. Preston, OF that city,
July 18th, 1890, writes: give years ago l
was taken very sick, mad several of the
best doctors, and one and all called it a
complication of diseases. 1 was sick four
years, taking prescriptions prescribed by
tn9se same doctors, ana truthfully state
never expected to get any better. At this
time, 1commenced to have the most terrible
pains in my back. One day an old friend of
mine, Mr.. r 7. Cook of the firm of Curtis
& Cook, advised me co try Warmers Safe
Cure, as he had been troubled the same way
and it had effected cure for him. bought
six bottles, took the medicine as directed
and am to-day well man. l am sure no
one ever had worse case of kidney and
liver trouble than l had. Before this was
always against proprietary medicines but
not now, oh, no."
Friendship expresses itself in very pc
culiar ways sometimes; but the true friend
Is the friend in need.

It Had Not Vsried

"You may say what you please about
fine time pieces" said the old stager to
the crowd, ''but I've got cheap clock
up at the house that bought forty years
ago, took home, placed on the mantel,
set its hands and wound it up, and from
that day to this it has not varied a
second"
Indeed? Wonderful! Amazingw
Hasn't varied q second since the
time you first wound it up?"
"No, sir; not second. The main
spring broke when 1 wound it, and the
thing has never varied a second from
that instant"

public spirit of its members. From the
judges down to the township officers
none but able, pure, competent and re-
liable men have been selected. They
will challenge comparison with the Re-
publican nominees and gain infinitely
by the contrast. No Democratic paper
is called upon to drop any name
from the list, nor to apologize
by its silence for any of the splen-
did work its convention has done.
1t would be impossible to call up the
files of Democratic newspaper in judg-
ment against the integrity or decency of
any of its candidates. Those of our men
who have public records have clean
ones; and those who are brought out
for the first time for public positions are
men whom their neighbors and all who
know them are delighted to honor. But
beyond even this, they are candidates
of party which has not to apologize
and blush for the most stupendous term
of malgovernment, waste and corruption
this county has ever groaned under.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-10-10

Ir is very cheeky on the part of
papers representing party responsible
for county officials, some of whom are
actually under indictment for crime,
many of whom are charged with NAL
versation and actual stealing, and one
of whom is fugitive from justice, car
rying with him in his fight moneys be-
longing to the taxpayers, to even dare
to ask the people to again endorse the
work of their convention.
"Lcok to her, moor; be quick to see,
She has deceived her father, and may thee"
Do these papers expect the taxpayers
Of Los Angeles to again entrust their
county affairs to a party which has once
given the Offices into the hands of bood-
lers and reckless spendthrifts? 1t is a
matter of business, not sentiment. with
the taxpayers to have honest men handle
their money and administer their county
adairs, and they certainly have the wis

BANKS are as sensitive indicators OF
the commercial condition of locality
as are barometers of climatic phenom-
ena. The report of the manager of the
local clearing house published in
another column of this issue, will be
found on examination to indicate that
the financial situation is most favorable.
1t demonstrates that the amount OF de-
posits has materially increased in the
latter part of the present fiscal year,
and that the clearings have steadily
increased in each of the past three
months. The report shows conclusively
that, if there ever was what could be
properly called period OF depression in
this city, it has passed, and that "good
times' may now be with certainty pre-
dicted
