complaints Of the fowls deteriorating
in the fattening pen are far from un-
common. Access TO water should be
allowed at ell times
Fattening must be completed in ten
days, for after that period they begin
TO lose weight. The best age for table
birds is when they are from four to six
months old.
The coop should be three feet high,
two feet wide and four feet long. This
will admit from six to eight birds,
according to their size. The bottom
and front should be of bars, three
inches apart. A board outside the bars
in front, six inches wide, will serve as
a stand for the food and water troughs.
The coop should be in a well-venti-
lated outhouse, and if kept dark be-
tween the times of feeding, all the bet.

WHAT ONE HERD p1sc1osrs.

Very recently there was published
in an article on the care of dairy COWS
statistics which fully prove that a man
feeding at random, and keeping cows
that have never been tested, is working
absolutely in the dark, and if he sue
ceeds it is merely through accident.
Facts very startling to the thinking
man were disclosed. Out of this herd
of sixty cattle, some Holstein, some
Jersey, some grades, and some COM
mon cattle of unknown ancestry, the
COW returning the greatest amount of
butter according to food eaten was
the common native. Undoubtedly
prior to the test the presumption was
all against this COW. This shows that
breed does not always tell, and is con-
sOling to the farmer who is not able
to stock up entirely with thorough
bred or even grades. The second
native COW beat all of the Jerseys, SO
that even the rich farmer cannot
afford to rely entirely upon blood.
An average of twenty-seven pounds of
food was consumed for one pound of
fat, ranging from seventeen to forty
seven pounds. The larger COWS con-
sumed smaller amount of food in
proportion to their weight than the
smaller ones. The best yield of milk
gave the best yield of butter.
The entire test shows us what an in
dividuality there is in cows, and that
breed and color and good marks and
appearances in general must not allow
us to lose sight of the paying qualities
of one and the losing qualities of an
other. .-American Farmer.

MAKING DRuSKAnDs or THE BABIES.

When an infant is born, says DIR. Keely.
some form OF alcohol is usually an attendant
at the birth. II the infant escapes n whisky
bath or few drops of some stimulant, 1t Is
probably through some neglect. IL is rare
indeed that a child few days old has not
had hot whisky several times. II the babe
feeds on milk and water too early, or II any
thing goes wrong with the mother or child,
the domestic and very likely the professional
remedy is whisky.
Indigestion, too much crying, cholera in
fantum, measles, scarlet fever and parttcu-
larly diphtheria are treated by alcohol and
opium very largely by the physicians.
l do not question the propriety OF giving
these drugs as remedies. L do not doubt the
wisdom or skill of the physicians who find
these remedies useful In diseases. But | as
sert that the soothing sirups and other opiate
preparations. the wines and hot slings and
large quantities OF alcoholic liquors given TO
children to quiet them or cure them OF dis
eases, cause the drink habit.
The stamp of the drug remains on the
brain of the infant, even IL the drug is no
longer given. The misery OF babes drugged
TO drunkenness and then very likely sudden
~ deprived Of the accustomed sttmulant is
without doubt as acute and great as in older
people People who have dosed children
with soothing syrup know how difficult II is
TO wean the child from the drug. But even
II the drug is no longer given the thirst re-
mains. When the babe grows up to the stage
of youth, he has the craving without a name
or understanding perhaps until for some
reason q stimulant or dose of the accustomed
drug is taken. There is an immediate and
perhaps prolonged debauch, followed by the
usual phenomena of inebriety. II makes no
difference IL the drug is alcohol or opium or
both. Both OF these inebrieties may exist In
the same person, and no may be both drunk
ard and an opium user, and this condition
can be and often is the result OF opium or
whisky inebrlety acquired In the cradle and
nursery.
Child drinking is one of the most prevalent
diseases. II is coextensive with the extent
of alcohol and opiates given to children for
any cause whatever. 1t Is therefore as ex-
tensive as the prevalence of the diseases of
childhood, because the inebriating drugs are
universally used In these diseases. / regard
child inehriety as the chief cause of intem-
peranee among all classes. do not say that
every child subjected to the influence of
these drugs becomes an active inebriate, but
l say that II the history of drunkenness is
carefully inquired into il will be found that
the larger number of inebriates took opiates
or alcohol when they were children.

Involuntary Weather Prophets.

The tortoise is not an animal one
would naturally fix upon as likely te
be afraid of rain, but it is singularly
so. Twenty-four hours or more be
fore rain falls the Galapagos TORTOISE
makes for some convenient shelter. Or
bright clear morning when not
cloud is to be seen the denizens of
tortoise farm on the African coast MAY
be seen sometimes heading for the
nearest oyerhanging rocks; when thai
happens the proprietor knows tina
rain will come down during the day
and as a rule it comes down in torrents
The sign never fails. This pre-sensa
tion, to coin word, which exists II
many birds and beasts, may be ex
planned partly from the increasing
weight OF the atmosphere when rain il
forming, partly by habits of living
and partly from the need of moisture
which is shared by all. The American
cat-bird gives warning of an approach
ing thunderstorm, by sitting ON the
low branches of the dog-wood tree

GIVE THE COLTS GOOD STALLS.


Have box stalls for the colts by all
means, but do not make them cells of
solitary confinement. Put in good
windows to admit the sun. If
opening into the paddock, have an
extra door two-thirds size, so he can
stand and put his head ont and enjoy
the air, and see and familiarize him
self with what is going on. If open
ing into the barn, have the door in
halves; on the under half put slat
work that he can look through, hav-
ing it so the upper half can be shut
tight, in cold weather or at night.
had young stallion last winter
that could not sec what was going on
from his STALL He was kind and of
good disposition, but when 1 went to
take him out would grab halter and
chew it and nip at one who came near.
l had two extra hinges put on the
door, and sawed it in two at the
middle, making two half doors. From
the lower half built slat work top
that he could see through. 1t changed
him at once, and now have a quiet and
pleasant colt to handle.
Do not have two half doors by any
means; it is dangerous. If the upper
half gets unfastened the colt will
reach through, and is likely to have it
swing so as to catch his neck, aad in
struggling to get free get hung. Chill
dren are often round to open the
lower half to see the colt and not
fasten it again. He stoops down to
get out, and when part way through
straightens up and is caught by the
upper door in the small of the back

THE STRIPED CUCUMBER BEETLE.

This insect may be driven from the
plants it infests, which are of the
melon, or gourd tribe, by dusting them
with fine wood ashes or plaster in which
little carbonic acid has been stirred
so as to give it distinct odor. To-
bacco stems, that may be procured of
the cigarmakers or dealers, spread un-
der the plants, or rags dipped in kero-
sene, will also drive away these pests.
The cabbage worms may also be kept
away from cabbage and caulihower by
scattering flour on the leaves; bran is
said to be effective, but hand picking
is the safest and most certain remedy.
To do this easily take pair of spring
nippers, which may beused more con-
veniently than the fingers. New York

CLEAN pIesrrEs AND CLEAN PICS.

Pigsties should be cleaned and
scrubbed at least once week, writes
correspondent, Give the pigs a
good scrubbing with scrubbrush or
an old broom, and plenty of clean
water every day if convenient. Pigs
enjoy good cold bath and appreci-
ate a good scrubbing and clean pen,
with something for nest on which to
lie. l give them oat straw for bed.
II smells sweeter in the pen than hay.
Never give pigs buckwheat straw; it
gives them the buckwhest itch. Clean
llness among the pigs produces
healthy porkers. New York Tribune.

LEAVES FOR THE GREENHOUSE.

Leaves from the forest when rotted
make a most excellent material to mix
with soil to be used for greenhouse
plants, but whether it will be profita-
BILE or not to gather the leaves for
such purposes dependsvery much upon
the circumstances The cost of labor
in gathering the leaves, the distance
they are to be hauled, and other items
of expense should be taken into con-
sideration in order TO get at the actual
cost of the material when it is ready
for use. New York Sun.

REEF STEW.

Two pounds of beef, the round, flank
or any cheap part (if there is bone in
it, two and half pounds will be re-
quired), one onion, two slices of car.
rot, two of turnip, two potatoes, three
tablespoonfuls of -four, salt, pepper
and generous quart of water. Cut
all the fat from the meat and put it in
a stew-pan; fry gently for ten or fif-
teen minutes. In the meantime cut
the meat in small pieces and season
well with salt and pepper, and then
sprinkle over it two tablespoonfuls of
-four. Cut the vegetables in very small
pieces aud put in the pot with the fat.
Fry them five minutes, stirring we'll,
to prevent burning. Now put in the
meat and move it about in the pot un-
til it begins to brown, then add the
quart of boiling water. Cover; let it
boil up once, skim and set back where
it will just bubble, for two and half
hours. Add the potatoes cut in thin
slices, and one tablespoonful of -four
which mix smooth with half cupful
of cold water, pouring about one-third
of the water on the -four at first, and
adding the rest when perfectly smooth.
Taste to see if the stew is seasoned
enough, and if it is not, add more salt
and pepper. Let the stew come to a
boil again, and cook ten minutes then
add dumplings. Cover tightly and
boil rapidly ten minutes longer. Nut
ton, lamb or veal can be cooked in this
manner. When veal is used, fry out
two slices of pork, as there will not be
much fat on the meat. Lamb and NUT.
ton must have some of the fat put
aside, as there is so much on these
meats that they are otherwise very
gross. New York Ledger.
