THE POULTRY-YARD.
Feeding Hen. ON tn. Farm.

1t costs the farmer less to produce
eggs than it does one living on the
suburbs Of town or village, as the
lien on the farm can pick up about
one-third of her food. A bushel of
wheat or corn for hen one year
should be sufficient, provided she has
opportunities for securing grass, seeds,
eec. She will lay, under fair condi-
tons, ten dozen eggs year. AS to
how much profit to expect, says Farm
aAd Fireside, it will depend on the
COST OF the wheat and the price of the
eggs. The bushel of wheat will cost
tae Eastern farmer about 81, but i'm
s,me portions OF the West the cost
may not be over so cents. At the
same. prices for eggs the Western
farmer has the advantage OF cheaper
COST, but as the Eastern farmer has
t1e advantage OF prices, his oppor-
t'inities are better.
Each section possesses advantages
and disadvantages, and when the
farmer sells his eggs he should be
prepared to know exactly how much
expense was incurred. II eggs sell
FOR only 10 cents a dozen, when wheat
IL so cents bushel, he secures
higher price for his wheat by convert
lag the wheat into eggs through the
agency OF the hens. Eggs have the
advantage of calling for cash in the
markets, and they can be produced in !
the winter season, giving immediate
returns, which is very different from
being compelled to wait from one
season to the next.
Feeding the hens on the farm is to
take possession OF the waste places
with. the hens There is food TO be
secured that is not in the grain-bin.
Every clod turned over by the plow
affords little, and the young grass
and weeds, the seeds of grass, the
rakings OF the farm. the scattered
grain OF the barn-yard. the stubble i'm
the fields, the scraps from the table,
and the manure heap, all afford the
hens privileges, and the eggs laid by
them during the summer season cost |
the farmer little or nothing. The
low cost of summer should be consid- |
cred and the average made.

About D.horn,nr.

Former Haaff says: mo man
consults his pocket or the welfare of
the cattle, who uses shears for de-
horning. Just as well use shears on
cord-wood and expect no splinters
as on a cows horn. No man living
ever did or will shear off horn three
or more years old without crushing
the bones, and If sore heads do not
follow crushed bones then am not

''stew," getting into bed with cover
ing well tucked in, hot brick to feet,
and drinking abundantly of hot teas
until there is dripping perspiration,
to be kept up an hour or two more
until the system is relieved, and
then to cool off very gradually in the
course OF another hour, is dirisively
styled san old woman's remedy;"'
for all that it will break up any cold
taken within thirty-six hours; it will
promptly relieve many of the most
painful forms of sudden disease, with
the advantage of being without dam
ger, gives no shock to the system, nor
wastes its strength.
MUMPS. the face and neck
warm, and avoid taking cold. Drink
warm herb teas, and, If the symptoms
are severe, four to six grains OF
Doyer's powders; or, if there is cos
tiveness, slight physic, and observe
a very simple diet. If the disease is
aggravated by taking cold, and is
very severe, or is translated to other
glands, physic must be used freely,
Ieeches applied to the swelling, or
cooling poultices. Sweating must be
resorted to in this case.
ERYsIPELAs. We have found sour
milk, buttermilk, or whey therefrom,
an excellent remedy to apply for the
erysipelas as wash. Also to apply
glycerine twice or three times day;
1t has soothing effect We have
many times applied the milk hot, and
found it allayed the inflammation
better than cold applications, and far
less troublesome than poultices.

previous years growth yielded best.
Corn more than almost any other
grain Is liable TO be poorly dried at
planting. 1t Is large grain, natures
late, and sometimes only dries as the
moisture freezes out OF the grain,
which almost always Injuries the
germ. Sweet corn and the large
western Dent corn, that have long,
deep grains and heavy cobs, are most
difficult to dry out thoroughly, and
from these come most complaints of
poor seed. All these complaints,
could be avoided by hanging the cars
intended for seed by the chimney
where 1t comes in contact with
warmed brick whenever fire is
lighted. Some farmers who have
smokehouses put the corn in loft
above the bacon, and they claim that
corn thus smoked grows better than
any other. 1t islikcly that the extra
drying such corn gets rather than the
smoking il receives accounts for its
superiority. Some years ago we grew
sweet corn for seed for a practical
scotsman. 1t was a large variety,
and the season being cold and wet at
harvest-time, we suggested drying it
in an eyaporating house. 1t was kept
at a temperature of 40 to 120 de-
grees above zero for two days, and in
that time every bit OF moisture seemed
TO have dried out Of it,. This corn,
the scotsman informed us, made the
most satisfactory evergreen seed corn
he had ever had. We understand
that kiln-drying seed corn in evap-
orators is now commonly practised by
seed growers. and it deserves to come
into general use, if the heat is not
kept too high. 1t is better to take a
day or two longer than to have the
seed-room above 40 degrees.

American Homes.

The home is the pillar Of our National
life.
1t represents the thrift aud the energy
of our people; it is the product Of their
wages and savings. The home is the
schoolhouse of our youth and the CON.
fort OF our age. To have little house
that one can call ones own makes d man
happier, manlier, more independent.
No country can be accounted pros
porous the majority OF whose people do,
not own their own homes. Here, then,
we have good test of the relative bene-1
fits Of protection and free trade. Which,
system makes it easier for workingmap
to have a home of his own.
Among The iron workers of free trade
England, and they are perhaps the most
prosperous of all that country's working
men, one man out of every twenty-five
occupies his own home.
In Philadelphia, the largest city Of tasI
greatest iron producing State in the
Union, there is one home to every tive
inhabitants.

port on tle "Housing of the Working,

he fired three shots at her, hitting
her each time, wounding her in the
arm, back and ear. The jury found
that the prisoner fred only with the
intent to brighten his wife," and the
man had to be discharged.
