Maxims.

A maxim may be defined as a con
densed statement of an important
practical truth. says Poultry World.
The following maxims are worth their
weight in gold to any poultry m1zgYho
will make practical application of them
in the management of his fowls:
Practice scrupulous cleanliness.
Lime is cheaper than roup, and fumi.
CATION more profitable than lice.
Undertaking is expensive.
Overlooking is false liberality.
Sunlight is as necessary as corn.
Disinfeetants are better than dis.
ease.
Carbolic acid is cheaper than chol.
era.
Exercise is cheaper than medicine.
Fresh water is abundant and cheap.
The den is a scratching bird; let her
scratch.
The best stock is the cheapest, there
fore never sell the best and eve buy
any fling but the best.
how is the most important word in
the dictionary. Do now the thing that
now needs TO be done.
Nail up these maxims, and then live
up to them, and you will find poultry
keeping robbed of it's terrors, and its
pleasures and profits multiplied.

Pounded Glass for Poultry.

The war on oyster shells has brought
to light the fact that poultrymen have
been buying oyster shells when they
can use something ,sauch better, and
that is broken glass. NFhe only use of
shells is to assist in grinding the food
in the gizzard, but they r too soft,
while the sharp, cutting edges OF the
glass are beneficial. Don't be afraid 0
the glass; It will not injure the birds,
for nature has provided the hens with
the power TO utilize the hardest and
sharpest of substances for the purpose
of grinding the food, and the more bro
ken glass and pounded crockery ware
you give the hens the fewer the cases
of indigestion and cholera will be the
result. Tt opens up a chance to utilize
all the broken lamp-globes, panes of
glass, cracked plates and cups, and
provides the hens with just what they
most ardently desire. Round gravel
does not provide grit. As soon as the
gritty material has the sharp, cutting
edges worn off in the gizzard it is
voided. In other words, the bird does
not grind its food in the gizzard SO
much as it cuts it-Farm and Fire.

THE CIGARETTE HABIT.
How q Victim Tried in Vain to shake on
the Yoke.

bAO AVA1s
A sad case.
A young life wrecked-physical ruin
and insanity-and all from smoking
cigarettes.
Such is the case Of a young man in
this city whose father is a prominent
River street merchant
The son is about twenty-five years Of
age, and has had the best educational
advantages that the country affords.
From early boyhood he has been an in
~veterate cigarette smoker.
Three years ago the effects OF the
habit began to develope in him. First
a languid feeling. then a general state
of extreme weakness, and SOC he be.
gan to waste away.
He could not shake the habit. A re-
porter Of this paper IA well acquainted
with him, and has frequently seen him
purchase cigarettes. He would go into
a cigar store and procure a bunch of
..cigs.n Taking one from the bunch he
would break it into four pieces, and
placing one of the pieces on the end Off
tooth-pick would take one or two whifs
ana then throw it way. Often times he
would buy a strong cigar, in his effort
to wean himself from the deadly habit,
and inhaling its fumes several times
would then cast it from him. His
efforts were to no avail.
Once. in a pitiful manner in response
to q question why he did not stop cigar
cite smoking. he answered, q can't"
What a power there was expressed
in.those two words. II can't It rep
resented the force Of the power Of
habit, the sapping Of q LIES vitality.
Some months ago insanity developed
and he was ~incarcerated In d room in
his fathers house. where q nurse at
tended upon his wishes. The strictest
watch was kept upon him so as to pre-
clnde any possibility Of his iniicting
damages upon himself. The other day,
however, he managed to escape from
the house and, going to the depot,
would. perhaps, have gone to his death
on an insane journey, had not his health
succumbed and he fell to the floor in a
faint When his identity was discov-
cred he vas placed IN Q carriage and
removed to his fathers residence.
The case ii one that il sad to contem-
plate. Think 81 the power at an APP
~parently harmless little cigarette, and
the manner III which it broke down this
young mans health and drove his rea
son from its throne.
The power of the habit owe him APP
pears to have been irresistible. Once
he said: AT night ! often wake up and
experience 3 strange desire that can
only b appeased BY smoking a cigar.

What Kind of Flock


What kind of flock have you? You
can not have pullets, old hens, fat
hens, laying hens, moulting hens, and
hens OF different characteristics, to-

POND LILY ROOTS.
A Chinese D~elicacy Which Grows w
All Over This

A Chinese Delicacy Which Grows wild
All Over This Country.
A species of American pond lily or
wild lily, that grows everywhere in
America, has been recently recognized
by a Chinese botanist, a DR.. Ii, of
Mott street. to be a famous Chinese
food del;sGey, whose p~otato-like root
is CONSIDERED finer and richer in taste
than the best Of yams. A little over a
year ago the doctor discovered it, he
said, in a creek in Astoria. He dug
into the water and got one; its roots
very small, but upon close exam
ination he foundit to be the very ident-
ica1 .'ths goounn of China, whose val
liable roots were sold for about ten
cents apiece. He took out several and
sent them to a Chinese farmer in Cali
fornia for careful cultivation. The
latter reared them in a hot-house near
his farm until he had secured a sufi-
Gent quantity of seedlings, and then
planted them in a field which was i'm
mersed in water last spring. This
species Of lily, when carefully culti-
waited, produces great quantities OF
yelloWish roots that resemble the reg
ular Irish potatoes, but are smaller in
size and longer. Yesterday afternoon
two barrels of them came from the
farmer in question in San Francisco,
who raised nearly a ton of them from
the seedlings that he received from
this city through DR.. Ii.
The Cinnamon were wild with de-
light when they saw fresh tbs gooun
here as If in China. They were sold
IN less than an hour after their arrival
at twenty cents per pound. Consider.
ing that these yer apparently a wild
vegetable. picked up in one bf the
highways near New York. it is a good
price, and especially when each oil
these plants would produce as much as
five or six pounds of tbs gooun each
season without any trouble or care
from the farmer.-N. Y. Letter.
