Channels Of Influenza.

In opposition to the theory that in
fiuenza is disease not dependent upon
personal contact of individuals for its
progression-tha it is not evolved by
the intrinsical operations of a specific
poison and propagated through and by
means of the ordinary channels of
human intercourse. attention is called
to the fact that during the late cpl
demic observers noted that the inhu-
enza's course was independent OF and
quite opposed to the prevailing winds
Thus it travelled slowly in Siberia and
Russia, but rapidly as soon as it reached
the network of railways in Central and
Western Europe; it's course was changed
by the mountain ranges of Scandinavia,
and it invaded Norway, not from
Sweden, but from Holland and England;
again, it was DETECTED by the Carsa-
thians, turning its course in the chan
nels of travel down the valley of the
Danube, and ultimately following, in
direction aud time, the ocean routes to
Africa, India, Australia, and this coun-
try; in India, too it has shown the
same pcculiarities in following the rail
way lines as have been observed in
America y. Y. Tribune.

farmer who practices it saws that
taking account of all his possessions
and indebtedness at the beginning oil
each year reveals some surprising and
attractive results; each item leads to
beneficial reflection on that one point.
The cash value of the farm was annual
ly in the descending scale for a long
time; but this season it is rising again
This leads to inquiry as to the causes
of the ups" and downs" of real es-
tate, and if there is anything he can do
as a citizen to assist in avoiding such
fluctuations. His live stock which has
reached the meridian of life he marks
down ten per cent. because it is really
worth that much less; but the young
stock invariably goes up and up in the
scale, some of it as much as 100 per
cent Here he drops his pen, wonder
ing why this thought was never SO
plain and forceful before. He now sees
clearly this: ION old stock / lose, on
young stock l gain" and resolves that
henceforth he will keep none but stock
that is growing into money instead of
out of it. 1t is easy to rid ones self of
food animals whose age has placed
them in the descending scale, for they
can be fattened and sold without loss;
but not so easily can old horses be got
rid Of, for somebody must care for
them; still, there are enough to take
the most of them at some price.
l know of a neighborhood where
seven old horses are kept, none doing
scarcely anything; all next April would
not sell for enough TO pay for their
feed through the winter. All are
owned by people, too, who can i'll af.
ford to lose anything. They would be
better off then to give the horses away
now. If these were, say, three-yeGr.
old colts, there would be gain for wig
tering them. Taking annual accoun'

POULTRY PiCklNGS.

IFyou have choice poultry give them
good treatment
THE egg can be increased in size and
richness by feeding.
WHEN breeding fowls for profit,
breed what the market demands.
So FAR as is practicable, ducks
should have separate quarters from the
other fowls.
WHEN poultry get no attention they
soon get so that they are not worth
looking after.
WHEN the weather is cold the water
should be emptied out of the drinking
vessels every night
COMMON earthen crooks make good
drinking vessels if care is taken not to
allow them to freeze.
EVEN when the incubator is used it
will be found safe plan to keep some
of the old hens for Matching.
In winter hens must have materials
supplied to them to make egg shells.
as well as material to fill them.
WHEN the hens appear droopy it is a
good indication that they are suffering
from lice, indigestion or colds.
Ducks will begin laying when about
six months old, but. as rule, the eggs
should not be used for Matching.
If eggs are to be bought for Matching
this spring send in the order early so as
to be sure of getting them when you
want them.
KEEP. the chickens and the broods
growing rapidly by supplying them
with a good variety of food and feed
ing regularly.
BECAUSE there is plenty of scraps is
no reason why more should be fed than
is necessary to keep the fowls in good
condition.
So LONG as the poultry must be
confined the greater part of the time,
they should be fed regularly three
times each day.
A TEAsPooNFUL of carbolic acid in a
gallon of water given regularly for a
a few days will aid materially in pre-
venting disease.
ALTHOUGH the ducks will usually be
gin TO lay very early, it is not gooc
plan to set EGGS for Matching much be
fore the first Of March

Not . Very valuable Husband.

There is one man, at least, in New
York, who has no silly ideas about the
inferiority OF women. A burglar got
into his house the other night The
owner of the house and Of valiant
wifN4id not fire off pistol nor create
disturbance to awaken his neighbors.
He aroused his wife and told her that
there was man in the house. She
jumped out OF bed and captured the
burglar, holding him fast 1t was at
this point that the husband showed his
absolute faith in the superiority of wo-
men, for saying: "You hold him, Fred
erilsa, while go out and get police
man." he hurried down stairs and ran
up the street When he returned with
a policeman, his wife was still holding
the robber a prisoner. This shows that
the husbands confidence in his wife
was not misplaced. He ought to value
her highly, for most men will surely be-
lieve that Mrs. Frederika is worth ten
such husbands as hers is, N. Y. Trib-

In California, where these birds Cad
an inexhaustible supply of food in the
land-tortoises of the plains-a curious
commentary on the story of the death
of Aeschylus, caused by tortoise let
fall by an eagle-they are not only COM
mon, but exceedingly tame, building
their nests near roads and houses. One
nestwas found in a small live-oak, near
road, only thirty feet from the ground,
built of sticks of the poison-oak and
sagebrush. An old nest was close by.
Another eagle had decorated it's nest
with large "soap-root" by way of or
nament; and the next year the same
bird built close by, and also procured a
''soap-root" to place on the side of its
nest, which showed some individuality
in taste. A third eagle had fancy for
sacks, and. after its old nest which
contained q corn-sack, had been blown
out by storm. it built fresh one close
by. and in this was found another and
q new sack. The eagles seem to be, al
any rate in some parts of California,
almost as common as the kite was in
England, and to have the same pro
pensity for carrying to their nests any
object which strikes them as orna'
