William Chalmers was a valued cor

lived in Oregon and was an experienced
stockman. He was bitterly opposed to
d%ishorning cattle, especially bulls, con-

believed that a bull by kind treatment
could be trained like a horse, and he
practiced that system with his own AMI

The Bowery.

The Bowegy is something less than a
mile in length. 1t reaches from Chatham
square to the little wedge in front of the
Cooper Union at Eighth street which splits
it in twain, sending one-half up town to be
the great Third avenue and one-half close
beside it to be the Fourth avenue. 1t has
the width of both these wide avenues to-
gether. It's width varies, as becomes an
ancient thoroughfare, but 1 think 1t aver
age more than 100 feet from house line to
house line, siNty-five feet being the road
way. II you are a stranger, and walk down
the Bowery in the daytime without a
guide. you will be apt to notice nothing
more particular about it than that it is an
enormous, crowded, noisy street of retail
shops, lodging houses and museums.
Any old New Yorker will show you some
very old and respectable shops-notably a
grocer's, a bakers and Il shop for the sup
ply of firemen's goods-which were estab-
llshed there in the days of other genera
lions. But these are not so interesting to
a stranger AS the many little stores that
give a distinct character to the street. EX-

CLEAN THE POULTRY HOUSE.
Give 1t . Good Going Over Before VIM
ter Sets In.

Give It = Good Going Over Before VIM
ter Sets In.
Before going into their winter quarters
the chickens should all be turned out of
the poultry house, and thorough clean
ing and renovation of the place should
be attempted. It is in the winter time
that eggs bring their high prices, and the
fowls that a be induced to lay heavily
then will be more than profitable. They
only do this, however, when clean,
sanitary poultry houses are fitted up for
their comfort. Fall cleaning of the
houses is more essential than the spring,
for the filth and dirt that are left in the
house in the winter must be shut up in
tight places so that it will tend to breed
disease. Worms, maggots and lice will
thrive in this filth, which is kept warmer
than the outside air. They will soon
swarm about the interior in great num-
bers, and naturally worry the life out of
the chickens. In addition to this, the
chickens will have to breathe the foul
air that emanates from the gases of this
filth. This alone is sufficient to cause
sickness and death.
A thorough renovation of the house.
outside and inside, should be made.
Everything should be taken out and tn.
roof, ceiling, sides and floor should b-
swept and then washed and scrubbed.
There is nothing like thoroughscrubbin;
with soap and water to make the boards
clean and healthful. Then let the place
be aired for a day, and meanwhile wash
and scrub the feed boxes, the nest boxes.
the roosting sticks and everything that
was taken out. After this go into the
house again and whitewash all of the
woodwork. Do not be afraid of the
whitewash, but throw it on thickly, es-
pecially in the cracks and holes, where
lice and insects may be lodging. In fact
all the woodwork is thus washed, except
the roosting poles, which are scrubbed
with boiling water, and then treated
with kerosene oil. These should be
drenched with oil afterward about once
a month, and no disease can then very
well attack the chickens. The red mites
are often troublesome in the winter, but
this treatment will keep them away.
The house outside should be inspected
carefully, and every crack through which
snow or wind would come in must be
stopped up. Have no wind drafts blow
ing on the chickens, but have good ven
tilation. If such u house cleaning is
given every fall, n may depend upon
it that he will have more eggs anil
healthier fowls in the winter.-Annie G..

It seems to us a great mistake that the
fanciers of this country do not pay more
attention to this breed, as, besides being
a desirable fowl, the Dorking is easily
reared, and the only essential require
ments necessary to keep them in d
healthy, fourishing condition are a good
run and a dry soil. There are, as is we'll
known, three varieties of this breed rec
ognized by The Standard, but probably
the white variety really has more pure
Dorking blood in it than either of the
others, as for years this was the only
variety which produced invariably the
fifth toe, although now the colored and
silver gray varieties seldom or never
fail to breed that popularity.

STOCKINGS OR SCALES.

II I were asked Of all things what I most
would like to be,
I'd choose to be a mermaid and live below the
sea.
How nice, instead of walking, to swim round
like little whales.
And to wear, instead of stockings, many shiny
pairs of scales,
Which don't need changing every time that
nurse says they are wet,
And then to nave no shoes that always come
untied!-and yet
And yet, although it must be nice to swim
around in scales,
To attend a school of porpoises and play at tag
with whales,
To be on friendly speaking terms with jelly
fish and cells,
And never to be sent to bed or told I'm late for
meals,
Still, when l think of Christmas eve my reso-
luton fails,
For what would Santa think if 1 hung up a
pair of scales?

The New York Horse Show,

The old fashioned agriculturist would
scarcely have known for horses the
modish creatures exhibited at the New
York show. The entry list at the show
included 1,O66 horses. The kind of ami
mails they were may be judged from the
fact that of the whole number there
were three Shire stations and one
Percheron. The rest were horses of
fashion. The show was so popular that
some days it was attended by 20, 900 per-
sons, among them daily the social lead
ers Of New York city.
In brief, this exhibit of the National
Horse Show Association of America was
as much a society event as a season of
opera would be. 1t is quite probable that
many of those who planned the show
would not know a Shire horse from a
Percheron, or Il Clydesdale from a Snf-
folk Punch. Hackneys are all the go.
They were the most popular and sought
after animals at the show. They are
evidently to have a great future in
America. For the rest there were saddle
horses and coach horses, ponies, hunters
and infnitesimal Shetlands, trotters,
thoroughbreds and tandem leaders. The
most popular bit of horseflesh appeared
to be an animal that could jump a fence
6 it. 6 in. high without touching. The
only animals outside of these classes that
received popular attention were some
stylish mounts for the swell policemen
of Central park. Noted thoroughbred
and trotting blood was there too-Belle
Hamlin, Mambrino King, Idol King and
The Bard. AS to the heavy truck and
express horse, the humble street car and
cab hack, or I'VE the gallant high
stepping beast of the grocer's cart, all
these would have been simply hooted
down. Their cousins in that show would
have been ashamed to recognize them.
Which proves that the useful work
horse and the farm horse must be bred
in the west and in Canada. Their hum
BILE merits will obtain recognition at a
western show, but not in New York.
This is, however, nothing against New
Workers. It is nothing against anybody.
If New Workers will pay handsome prices
for stylish carriage and saddle horses,
then it will be to the interests of breed
ers to raise them, and these will bring
in as good returns as any other kind,
better than most, in fact.
If then a breeder wishes to raise
horses that will pay best in the New
York market, let him turn his attention
to handsome, good sized carriage ami
mails and saddle stock. There will also
be an excellent demand for the smaller
carriage horses too, well matched ami
mails weighing from 900 to 1000
pounds each, of the size between horse
and pony. Many of the handsomest
pairs of carriage horses were not con-
spicuously well matched, it must be con-
fessed. The shrewd breeder has only to
watch the drift of public fancy and sup
ply the want, and he will succeed best
who can fill it first.
