The Law of Failing Bodies.

All falling bodies, whether they be crys-
tai rain drops or meteorites, fall with what
philosophers term "a uniform accelerated
notion" in other words, if body be NOV
ing at a certain velocity at the expiration
of one second from the beginning of its
fall, it will be moving with twice that We
locity at the expiration of two seconds,
gaining in speed at au inform rate through
out the course of its fall.-London Nature.

Painting Brick Walls,

The painting of brick walls is mainly
for the purpose Of preservation, but the
fact ought not to be forgotten that paint
is an excellent preventive Of dampness,
and that house with well painted
walls is drier and consequently health
Ter than one with the walls exposed, ac-
cording to The Industrial World, which
says: The best paints for this purpose,
where color is not an objection, are the
natural ocher pigments united with zinc
oxide. Thus, yellow ocher and zinc would
give pleasing buff. Whatever impairs
the usefulness Of a paint by attacking
its tenacity and waterproofng quality
is to be avoided.

Poultry Pickings.

AUAy ASAAbsss
The Brahma is admirably adapted to a
cold climate, but is none of the best for
warm one.
Our American breeds and the Medit-
terranean class are the best breeds for
the south.
This advice is given in Farm Poultry:
Take onion skins and place them in your
nest boxes, cover them with straw or
hay q prefer straw. Lice cannot live
where the onion skins are-that is,
have never known it to fail.
Wheat chaf affords an excellent litter
on poultry house floors, in which the
hens can scratch and exercise.
The Seabright is very pretty variety
Of bantam.
Houdans stand at the head of the
French varieties in the estimation of
many breeders.
The comb of q fowl is an honest index
and should daily be consulted by the
fancier who values the health and well
being of his flock. Look at the comb of
laying hen or pullet. She is in the
height of health and strength and car
ries her unfailing sign of healthfulness
on her head in the shape Of a blood red
bright and full comb.
For scalding poultry the water should
be as near the boiling point as possible,
without actually boiling. The advan-
tage of this is the outer skin becomes
cooked or set, and so does not peel OH
with tha feathers and look ragged.

The GENUINE AND THE SHAM.

Every good thing has its host of limitations;
every genuine article its counterfeit The
imltators always choose the most valuable and
popular article to counterfeit, so that when they
claim their sham to be equal, or as good, or
the same as 'So-and-Sos," the public may de-
pend upon it that ''So-and-So's" article is the
best OF the kind. The sham proves the genuine
merit OF the thing it copies and never has this
been Detter Illustrated than by the limitations of
ALLcocK's Porous PLAsTERs.
ALLcocK's Porous PLASTER is the standard
OF excellence the world over, and its imitators
in their cry that theirs is "as good as ALL
COCKS are only emphasizing this fact and adj
mitting ALLCocK's'' to be the acme of per-
1ect'oh' which it is their highest ambition to
initiate. The difference between the penuina
ana these limitations, which copy only general
appearance, is as wide as that between copper
and gold.
Inc only sale way for purchasers is to al
ways insist upon having ALLcoCK's. Porous
PLAsTERs. They are the only perfect plasters

su1phur In the uenbou.e.

When burning sulphur in the hem
house, always stop the cracks and make
the house as close as possible. Get a
brick as hot as you can, put it quickly
on the henhouse floor, pour about half a
pound of sulphur on it, shut the door
and keep the house closed tightly for
three Or four hours, and all insects will
