THE POULTRY BUSINESS.
Fowls Cannot Be Neglected without Do
- creasing the Income.

Fowls Cannot Be Neglected without Do
- creasing the Income.
The poultry business is enjoying
something Of q boom There is a grow
ing interest in 1t. People are learning
that it is source of ready profit and q
bank that can be drawn upon at almost
any time They are learning that while
fowls cannot be neglected airs be
profitable, that after all they need no
more attention than they will repay.
and repay we'll They are learning
that good fowls are just as readily OBJ
tanned and reared as poor ones; that .
hen will lay eggs if she is. given any
thing to make egg out of, and is kept
comfortable, and they are more and
more conforming their management to
these necessary conditions. Farmers
are getting better breeds; they are
building more convenient and more
comfortable houses, and they are feed
ing more scientifically, Whoever does
these things will be pleased with the
results. The hen, like the COW. must
be kept comfortable, and the rule
should be stated and compliance with
it urged as often as in the case of the
COW. Poultry that in summer Is per-
mitted to roast in hot poultry house
or run. or is forced nearly to freeze in
winter. can do nothing. In summer
time as comfortable a place as can be
prepared should be prepared for the
hens The poultry house in hot
weather., while it affords shade, is like
an oven. In cold weather the house
should be warm. A cold hen will not
lay. The farmer has the best chance in
the world to make poultry pay. He
has variety of food at hand, wheat,
corn and vegetables. He may need to
buy bones. Green bones pulverized
are the best. but the purchased bone
meal is good. In winter corn is best at
night, and the fowl should have a gem
efous night meal if it has not a full
meal at any other time of the day, for
NE fast from roosting time until MORN
ing is long one. But the feeding
should be generous all the time, with q
variety of foods. There is much neg
lect III the matter of providing good
water for fowls This should not be.
Pure water is an essential, and to pro-
vide it only needs very little exertion

RUSTIC REMEDIES.

sSlmples" Which Country Folks Believe
Are Better Than Doctors Stun.
"When the Adirondack native be-
comes afflicted with any of the numer-
GUS small ills which make mankind
wretched,' said the returned summer
visitor, 'he does not waste much time
on doctors, but goes straight to the
woods or his attic for natures own
remedies. There is one old man whom
have met with, packbasket on shoul-
der and shears and a rough board stool
in his mittened hands, going after var
row, which, dried, is a standby for
coughs when. it has been made into a
wicked looking brew. Fir-balsam,
coaxed drop by drop from the 'blisters'
which swell on the balsam fir at moon
fall, is sovereign remedy for lung and
chest complaints. @ssi
Gravel weed, by which name they
insult trailing arbutus, is excellent for
the complaint which gives it its name;
and bladder root has desirable effect
on the kidneys and neighboring or
gans. Sage tea, containing 9 little
summer savory, is efficacious for worms
in children. for which belmonia,
stepped, is also used. Sunfower seeds,
stepped, strained and sweetened with
molasses, will cure tho 'whoop' in
whooping cough. Horseradish leaves,
wilted and bound on the face and back
of the neck, will drive away neuralgia,
and nutmeg, bored, and tied about
the neck, will keep it away. The nut
meg must be renewed about once every
six weeks.
Onions, sliced, pounded, and placed
in O cloth and laid over the affected
part, will draw out inflammation. A
red onion, halved, and with one part
slightly scooped out and the cup
placed over a carbuncle or boil will
speedily remove the pus and has saved
life. A red worsted string tied about
the neck will cure and prevent nose
bleed This last calls for some creduli-
ty one might think, but / have seen il
proved in one or two instances
There are many more of these SIM
pie remedies in the north woods phar-
