KIlIInu Partrldges With a Pole,

"Did you ever hear of catching part
ridges with a polel" said a sun Drowned
business man to a friend in Broadway.
81 never did myself until last summer.
A party of US were above Three Rivers,
Canada, surveying a tract Of wild land,
and one day after long tramp, We came
to the top Of mountain where we scared
up a whole lot of partridges. They were
those little black Canadian fellows, you
know-smaller than ours-and were so
tame that a man could almost catch them
with his hands. No one Of us had
thought it worth while to bring along
gun from the camp. Our guide, a Ca.
muck, proved equal to the emergency,
however. whistle and watch me catch
him, said he to one of the party. He
then went and cut stout pole about
twelve feet long, while the other con-
tinued to whistle. The birds cooked thch
heads first on one side and then on the
other in a way to make us laugh, but
they stood still and faced the music,
while the guide stole up unnoticed, and
was thus enabled TO kill three fine ones
with his pole before the rest took to
fight. "-Ne0 York Tribune.

Tie Dam Ct Amsterdam.

Amsterdam, Holland, the Venice OF
the North, is city of 400, 900 people,
and is built on ninety islands, being
honeycombed by canals and grea.
"grachts." Every house rests upon a
foundation of piles, and the royal palace
is firm on 10, 659 of them, as we were as
sured by the guide.
The city, says Thackeray, lis as good
as Venice, with a superadded humor and
rrotesoueness which gives the sightseer
the most singular zest and pleasure. A
run through Pekin one could hardly
fancy to be more odd, strange and yet
familiar. This rush and crowd and pro-
diqious vitality; this immense swarm OF
of life; these busy waters, crowding
barges, swinging drawbridge', piled au-
Gent gables, spacious markets teeming
with people; that ever wonderful He
brew quarter; that dear old world of
painting and the past, yet alive and
throbbing and palpable, actual and yet
passing before you swiftly and strangely
as a dream"
The heart Of the city is the Dam,
which an old worthy several hundred
years ago constructed across the river
Amstel. lie also built a castle on this
embankment. 1t is now a plaza, some
what smaller than Union square, AMI on
it front the royal palace, the exchange
and other buildings. Walking by the cx-
change l was astonished at the boys with
drums running in and out, and the
frightful uproar we heard and the excite
nent we saw inside. 1t was as though all
the boys were at once celebrating the
Fourth of July and making up with
their drums and lungs what they lacked
in the shape of powder. We could not
understand it, until later we were told OF
the reason. 1t was drumming Week. y

DExrITIoN OF SHEET.

A Scotch sheep breeder says the lamb
when about a month old possesses eight
temporary incisor teeth-usually termed
the "milk teeth" The after dentitioa
is considerably affected By the nature of
the feeding. When the sheep are on poor
keep the centre pair of incisors are
"shed" at about one year old and are re-
placed by two large and permanent teeth.
At about two years old a second pair Of
large teeth are required; at three years
old a third. and at four years a fourth
pair. the animal is then termed "full
mouthed."
When the sheep are literally fed the
first pair of permanent teeth are acquired
at about ten months old, the second at
eighteen, the third at twenty-seven and
the fourth at about three years. There
are. however, exceptions to every rule,
and the teeth cannot always be relied on
in correctly determining the age.-Fdrm,

Hornoe Greeley's ham.

After the Tribune had moved Us
Offices 10 Spruce and Nassau streets, IN
the old building, Mr. Rhoade' came
down one morning about 9 o'clock and
raw a big ham lying on the heater.
Franklin J. Ottarson, the city editor,
came in and said: "Dave, whose ham
is that?'
Il don't know, 'Ot," was the reply.
I only know that when I came into
The office that ham was there.
Give it to me, said "Ot.
Nothing of the kind, said Rhoades.
IF you want it, come around and get
it. ,
Otterson promptly went around and
took it. At II o'clock Mr.. Greeley
came along and said:
"Dave, where is my ham

Dissipsted Ducks.

During the past week the men on Bur-
phee's Forkhook seed farm, short dis
lance west of Doylestown, have been
gathering tomatoes and extra citing the
seed. The vegetable is first ground and
then placed where the mass IS allowed to
ferment. 1t is then put through a wash
er, allowing the pulp to float away. while
the seed settles at the bottom of the ma
chine. The work is done on the mar
Gin of a small brook which emPties into
a pond frequentcd by a handsome flock
of white Pekin ducks.
The ducks contracted the habit Of
coming up to the mouth Of the stream
and drinking the fermeuted juice Of the
tomatoes, which contains the most salient
characteristics of "Jersey lightning"
They soon become drunk and staggor
about in the most ludicrous manner.
They have become so fond of the stuff
that a genuine old spree is Of daily oc-
currencc. -DOyIestO0n PENN Democrat.

EPIDEMIC COLO IN CALVES.

This fatal form Of collie occurs in calves
soon after birth, and depends upon I'M
sanitary conditions. 1t may be epidemic,
but S generally local, affecting the newly
born calves Of a herd or immediate
neighborhood. In the early part Of the
attack the calf appears dull and weak
and refuses food. Soon follow the symp-
toms of gripping pains and violent dis
charges from the bowels, followed by
temporary relief. But soon all the Symp-
toms become aggravated and the calf
dies from exhaustion. The treatment
must be prompt and efficient in order to
save the calf, as a dram of essence Of
ginger and two drams of laudanum in
boiled milk every hour until relief is Sc
cured. The veterinarian would give by
hypodermic injection thirty drops Of
Magendie's solution Of morphia every half
hour. Milk punch in great prostration may
save a valuable calf. Boiled milk should
be given in pint quantities after recovery.
Cleanliness must be thoroughly enforced
in all things pertaining to stalls and feed
ing. The vessels fed from should be
scalded out with boiling water after every
feeding. -Americgn Agriculturist.

RECIPES.

Queen Fritters-Take one glass of wa
ter and two ounces of butter and put on
the stove in saucepan. When this
comes to the boil, add half pound Of
flour and stir till stiff. Take off the fire
and add six raw eggs separately, beating
each one as added till a soft dough re-
suits, then fry in lard pieces the size of a
walnut.
Sunday Pudding-One cup of any
kind of fruit juice, one cup of water, set
to boil. When hot, add three table
spoonfuls of corn starch dissolved in a
little water. When it comes to a boil re-
move from the fire, add the beaten
whites of three eggs, and sugar to taste.
The amount of sugar depends on the
sweetness of the fruit juice. Make a
custard of the yolks of the eggs, sugar
and one pint of milk; pour custard over
pudding when ready to serve.
Loaf Cakc-Five cups of dough,
three of sugar, II of butter; work the
ingredients well together; add wine
glass of milk, half teaspoonful Of soda
dissolved and strained in as little water
as possible, and four eggs; work these
in the mixture and add a pound of
seeded raisins cut once. Spice to taste.
Line basin with buttered paper; pour In
the mixture. Bake as soon as very
light, in a moderate oven. Make tho
dough with homemade yeast.
Little Pigs in Blankets-Season large
oysters with salt and pepper; cut fat
breakfast bacon in very thin slices, wrap
an oyster in each and fasten with a
small wooden skewcr (toothpicks are the
best, heat a frying-pau and put in the
little pigs and cook enough to crisp the
bacon. Place on slices of toast that
have been cut in small pieces, and serve
Immediately. Do not remove the skew
ers. This is nice relish for lunch or
tea, and garnisbed with parsley is pref
ty one. The pan must be very hot be-
fore the pigs are put in, and care taken
that they do not burn.

DESTROYING WEEDS IN THE LAWN.

DESTROYING WEEDS IN THE LAWN.

den writes as follows:
al have tried several methods of clear
ing our lawn of dandelion and dock, and

" destroying them as a small quantity OF
turpentine poured upon the plants. l
had dug these weeds out quite clean, but
they came up again stronger than before.
l then experimental by applying car
bolic acid, kerosene and turpentine.
Kerosene had but little effect upon
them. while the acid and the turpeutine
DESTROYED them outright. As turpentine
is much the cheaper of the two, it was
given the preference, and l am now us
ing it upon all weeds that are hard to
kill as soon as they are discovered, and

MUSICAL.

There seems to BE- little going OF,
in musical circles of late, but there
is much talk, among musical people,
of the marvellous cure of Miss B,
the high contralto singer, who has
long suffered from a severe throat
or bronchial affection, superinduced
by Catarrh in the Head, and who
has been perfectly cured by the
nse of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
coupled with the use Of Dr. Pier2es
Golden Medical Discovery. For
all bronchial, throat and lung attec-
tions, and lingering coughs, it is an
unequaled remedy. When compIil-
Gated with Chronic Nasal Catarrh,
its use should be coupled with the
use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy
Of all druggists.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
POULTRY HOUSES IN ORCHARDS.

Poultry in an orchard will not injure
the trees but be an advantage. PUN
trees thrive we'll in poultry yard. Let
TIE hens have the shade of the orchard
until the trees are two years old, when
the hens may then be transferred to the
wards containing the plum trees. The
size of the yard depends on the style of
the poultry house. If the house IS one
entire building, to contain many tocks,
each flock should be allowed an apart
ment 1Ox1O feet for one dozen fowls,
and the yards should be not less than
1Ox1OO feet. If changeable yards 1.-TWO
wards to each hock) be allowed it will be
an advantage, as much Of the green food
can be grown in the unoccupied yards.

FARM AND GARDEN notes


Get ready for farmers institutes.
DO not let the little colts get poor.
A farmers table without eggs lacks
luxury.
It is safe to apply the homemade ma
nure on any soil.
Grub out the sick tree and plant
healthy one in its place.
Burn no refuse that will add to the
value Of the manure pile.
Gather pears before they arc ripe and
put them away to ripen and sec if they
are not OF better flavor
Burn the dry weeds. This will de-
stroy a lodging place for mice aud other
vermin and may kill some seed.
Whitewash two or three times during
the season will greatly add to the comfort
and appearance Of poultry houses.
Chickens housed well from now on,
will, with feeding best suited to their
needs, be more able to lay eggs frequent
ly than those neglected.
The Brahma has record as a good
winter layer, and when many hens have
forgotten to lay, it is dropping those
nice, large, well-Aavored eggs so tempt
ing when nicely fried or boiled these
cool evenings.
Many farmers breed chickens, but
overlook the gobler and his mates. He is
not forgotten by tho epicure when
Thanksgiving and the holiday season ar
rives. Try few turkeys and report your
success next fall.
If cold rain comes up efore milking
time, it will be comfort to the cows and
milk in the pail to turn the COWS into
the barn, even If they are not given
bit of nice hay. 1t will be all the more
comfort and milk if the hay is given.
Quantity as we'll as quality Of milk
must be taken into consideration in judg-
ing the value of COW. A COW giving
per day twenty pouods Of milk contain
ing FIVE per cent of fat might not be more
valuable than another giving forty
pounds of milk daily containing two and
one-half per cent. fat.
It is not wise to feed too little, neither
is it to feed too literally Fowls should
only have enough to make them eat mp
clean all that is thrown to them and fed
