SOME ITEMS ABOUT FEEDING.

One of the most important items in re-
gard to making poultry raising a remun-
erative business is the manner of feeding,
and it matters not whether the stock is
of the refined hgh-bred variety, or the
common dunghill plebian; whether it is
reared for the purpose of making aristo-
cratic breeders, or ordinary broilers ;
whether the specimen is young and
downy, or old and tough. the same rule
applies to all, irrespective of ancestry,
birth, social standing, condition, age or
future prospects.
With the young chick only Just ush-
cred into feathery, troubled, trying tx
istence, this subject of proper and judi
cious feeding may amount to a matter of
life or death, and it certainly means to
the surviving ones either thrift and beau
ty, or scrawnness and ugliness, while to
the owner it is simply a question of
profit or Loss"
Chickens, like pigs, should be kept
growing. They are incessant grinding
machines. Talk about perpetual motion.
If the chicks digestive apparatus comes
not the nearest to that neutrality-suspicious.
machine, we do not understand the prin-
ciple of the same. We would dislike to
admit that we did not understand the
mechanism and the needs of the chick,
after fifteen years of constant compan-
iOnship with them, and study of their
wants and needs.
Keep in mind the food obtained by
chicks roaming around at their own free
will with good active hen mother to
initiate these conditions as nearly as pos
sible, both in regard to quantity and quail
ity. The time of feeding, if gagged
by old Biddie's time, would seem to be
little and often. and in fact those breed
ers who contriye to so feed their grown
fowls that instead of boiling il in the
true American style, they get it in small
quantities, by dint of considerable turn
ing over Of leaves, chat, straw, or
something of the kind, are the most sue
cessful breeders. \ chicken with its crop
gorged almost to bursting, standing idly
and mopishly about, waiting for the
slowly grinding internal mill to unbur-
den it, is not an object to incite enthu-
siasm; but the active, busy, always hun
CRY fowl, that must work for at least
one of its meals, looks more as if it had
fulfilled the destiny for which it was Gre
ated, and evinces by its bright eye, bril-
liant comb, glossy plumage, and merry
song and cackle, that it is happy, con-
tented and thrifty Mrs. j. b. Howe,

HOW TO MAKE A SCRUB COW.

This is the process recommended by a
New York Times correspondent; Half
feed your COW through the winter; pro-
vide no shelter, and expose her to storms
and the eXhausting cold. When the
calf comes be very penurious about the
cows feed. Let her pick her living oil
a bare pasture and the refuse fodder in
the barnyard gathered from the ma
nure heaps. 1t does not pay, you think,
to give the wretched beast few pounds
of meal, and perhaps it will not at the
first, for there is much flesh to put on

MCDOUGALLS' SHEEP DIP.
W. R. & CHARLES SANFORD.

McDougalls' non-poisonous sheep dip and
cattle dressing, scab specific and insect eS-
terminator on sheep, cattle, horses, dogs,
poultry, etc, has been used with great success
In this county for several years. II instantly
eXterninates all ticks, lice and masgOts; Is
the only true specific for scab, aud finely
stimulates the growth OF the fleece, making
its use very profitable. when used at =
special strength it also waterproots the tieeceS,
thus affording the animals great protection
from cold and wet. In the United States,
Great Britain and many places abroad IL Is
now generally adopted-having to "A large
lime and sulphur, and poisonous mixtures,
II has important advantages over such dress
ings, and is more certain in its action. For

PERHAPS the biggest liquor case known
in this state was disposed of at Woodstock
last week, Judge Thompson presiding over
the Windsor county court. 1t was the case
of the state against G. f. Kibling. The re-
spondent did business in Hanover, N. H.,
until he was driven out by the Dartmouth
College authorities. He then established
himself in Norwich, on the Vermont side of
the Connecticut, right at the end of the
bridge connecting the two towns, and there
has been more or less constant stream of
Dartmouth students crossing the bridge
ever since. But the authorities of the col
lege did not propose TO be beaten in this
way, and they moved upon him so vigor-
ously that in the trial which just closed
over 900 offences were proven. The jury
found only 7l5. He was fined 5000 Judge
Thompson's charge to the jury was particu-
larly vigorous. One or more of the faculty
of Dartmouth were constantly preseut
during the trial.
