GROWTH OF CHICKENS.
It Should Be Pushed from the Time the
Birds Start Into Life.

Birds Start Into Life.
There is no reason and very little
profit in allowing chickens to be slow
in coming to maturity. The small
biped starts into life all ready to grow
rapidly, and only lack of proper food
will keep it from forging ahead
Whether chicks are reared in breeders
or by hens, they must have plenty of
warmth. pure water and cleanliness,
and when these are secured we come
to the important matter of food, which
is one OF the chief factors in rapid
growth. This should contain just the
elements that growing chick re-
quires, in such shape as to be readily
digcSted. Raw eggs beaten into bread
crumbs are excellent for the first few
days. For this purpose the sterile eggs
that have been removed from the incu-
bator, or from under the hens at about
the tenth day, will serve very we'll
The chicks will also delight to pick at
rolled oats (Which are steam-coolled),
and this is excellent for growth. Very
soon they may have boiled wheat, and
one can almost see his chickens grow
while they are eating it. A little
cooked potato or cooked vegetable
will not come amiss occasionally as
they grow older. Whatever is given
them should be thoroughly cooked I'M
til the chickens are eight or ten weeks
old, if the most rapid growth is to be
secured. When they can run at large
upon the ground they will obtain an
nj An1onan nf fnnIn, Atl
green stuff, but if confined, there is
nothing better than bruised clover
leaves, scalded or cooked into little
bran or middlings. Some bulky food is
necessary, or indigestion will ensue.
Glover provides both bulk and growth
material, and where milk cannot be OBJ
tanned the liquid in which clover hay
has been stepped will be a most excel
lent substitute. Lean meat is good to
feed occasionally, but it is best cooked
until it will readily fall apart, while
fresh ground bone is one of the cheap
est, and probably one of the best, foods
for growing chickens and for laying
hens that can be found. Anyone who
keeps Il considerable number of hens
or raises chickens in large quantities
will find bone-cutter almost invalua-
bic. Feed very little corn meal to
growing chicks until it is desired to
fatten them. Corn is essentially
heat-producing and reproducing food
There is one other essential to rapid
growth and that is exercise. Chickens
will get this if allowed to run with
hen, but if reared in breeders they
must be made to scratch, or good food
will avail them but little.-American
Agriculturist.

The Dressing of Veals.

T o dress veals correctly, the head
should be cut off so as to leave the hide
of the head on the skin. Cut off the
legs at the knee joints. Remove all en-
trails except the kidneys and also take
out the liver, lights and heart. Also
cut the carcass open from the neck
through its entire body. If this is done
they are not so likely to sour during
the hot weather. Never wash a car
cass with water, but wipe it out with a
dry cloth. Also never tie carcass up
in bag for shipment, as this keeps the
air from circulating, and thus the meat
is more likely to become tainted. To
mark for shipment, fasten shipping
tags to the hind legs. Calves under 80
pounds should also not be shipped, as
they are likely to be suspected and
seized by the health officers as being
unfit for food. Veals of the most de-
sirable weight for shipment are calves
from three to six weeks old, averaging
about 100 pounds, the range being
from 80 to 12O pounds. - Farm and

FAMILY FASHIONS.

Elegant Coats and Fascinating Bonnets.
Satin and velvet and rich fabrics
suited to the Medicean fashions are
used in preference to the dull, heavy
silks of other seasons. Not only is vel
vet used for smaller accessory trim
mings, but in com bination with faced
cloths and other wooden goods in the
same way thai silk was once used The
high tlaring collar, the full high sleeves,
raised ON the shoulder, but kept scru-
pulously close to the forearm. are a
part Of the seasons fashions. Richness
and luXuriousness in dress prevail, such
as characterized the reigns of Henry
III. and Charles IX., and especially the
regime of the notorious queen mother,
who introduced into France the lux
uries which were already beginning to
make Italy an etfete kingdom. Rough
m aterials of all kinds are in special de-
mand. Some of these cloths are COW
cred with a shaggy nap, like the lions
cloths of a generation ago. Others are
soft and thick, like the Vicuna cloths.
and others are striped, a band of shaggy
weave alternating with soft stripe.
Astrakhan cloths with the wool com bed
out, so that they are hardly recognized
as the goods of a year ago, are used in
combination with plain cloths Some
of the new rough cloths imported from
France have a ground of one color, COW
cred with long nap of another color,
and this may be trimmed with shaded
velvet which is re-introduced this sea-
son
The use of shaded effects and of vari-
GUS colors toned into each other by
graduated shades is a feature of the
season. Thus we have a pale ashes-of-
roses cloth, covered with chestnut
brown fleece, trimmed with velvet, tom
ing from gray to brown and touched in
an intermediate way with rose color.
Strong defiant contrasts in color are
thus avoided, and, for the time, ombre
colors prevail. Especially is this SO in
millinery, where shaded effects are al
ways seen to the best advantage. The
bre has never been successful, thou IN
it has frequently been introduced. 1t
describes we'll and looks well on the
merchants counters, but such effects
are not becoming to our pale American
women, who require some decided color
and the use of piquant and somewhat
pronounced com binations, to give them
what the Parisians would call chic
Shaded effects are apt to degenerate
into dowdiness and become common,
by being copied in cheap effects before
the season has well begun. This has
been the history of such styles in sea-
sons gone by. 1t remains to be seen
whether they will, at this time, remain
elegant after they have ceased to be a
novelty Good Housekeeping.

Warming a Poultry House.

1t is not necessary to heat a poultry
house artificially, as the fowls will be
warm and comfortable if they are kept
at work and in exercise. When the
quarters are made warm by artificial
methods, the fowls will not so well en-
dure exposure outside. The lowest
temperature should be forty degrees aud
the highest sixty degrees, the object be-
ing simply to prevent the freezing
point being reached. This can be ac-
complished by allowing plenty of sun
light to enter during the day and hav-
ing the walls tight and close. Farm

German
Syrup"

Hereis an incident from the South
mississippi, written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. 81 am a farmer, one of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning oflast
Winter 1 was on a trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss. where got we'll
drenched in shower of rain. 1
went home and was soon after seized
with a dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief. Iconsulted DR.. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to get bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and 1 caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. 1
got two bottles of German Syrup. 1
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, 1 was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me so long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. 1 felt tip-top and
have felt that way ever since"

The Cause of Many Hog Ailments.

Hog dyspepsia is the forerunner of
many hog ailments. 1t throws the
system ont of condition and hastens
the disease The dyspeptic hog is an
unthrifty one, he is always hungry,
continually eating, if he has an oppor-
tunity, but the food does him no good,
as it is only partly digested. He actu-
ally seems to dwindle in size, instead
OF to grow, and becomes ''pot-bellied
He is uncomfortable himself and rem.
ders his companions as much SO as ne
possibly can. The cause of dyspepsia
is overlooking or rather irregular
feeding, allowing the hog to become
very hungry and then gorge himself.
When the internal machine of the heg
is once thrown out of gear, like any
other machinery, if continued to run
out of gear, will rapidly grow worse.
The preveutives are better than cures.
Keep the hogs well supplied with char
coal, wood ashes salt and lime to keep
them we'll toned up. If they are suffer
ing from the disease, reduce the food
to a very light diet, give plenty of char
coal, and watch the condition closely,
and by regulating the feed they can be
gradually brought up again.
