POultHY and Bees.


Wire netting makes good tenn
porary fence for poultry yards.
Size and condition are of more i'm
portance than shape and color.
There is always a good market for
clean, fresh eggs at fair prices.
When the turkey hen has q free
run she will select her nest out.
There is no excuse for any farmer
not raising poultry for home use.
Sudden showers often cause con-
siderable loss early in the spring.
A little raw salt pork will often
cure a hen of feather pulling, it is
said.
Ducks for market should be
hatched early and then fed we'll until
sold.
Nature provides the honey, the
bees gather and store it, and man
uses it.
Ducks need dry, clean quarters at
night or they get lame with rheu-
matism.
A German journal says to intro
duce a new queen, dip the queen in
liquid honey and drop her among the
bees.
A patch of oats or some other kind
of grain sOwn where the chickens can
help themselves will be of inestim-
able value.
The poultry house should have a
window. and the sun allowed to shine
in. Keep the floor covered with
clean, dry dirt.
A bee-keeper thinks that catnip
will repay cultivation for honey
alone. 1t continues in blossom a long
time, and the bees work on it assidu.
Ously.
The Columbus journal., 1893-06-21
The IIay CrOD.

A good crop of hay may be made
even more profitable than a grain
crop.
First, for the reason that it enables
the farmer to reduce the area of cul-
tivated land and thus give him the
opportunity to give better care and
culture to grain crops.
Second, it will give chance to inn
prove the fertility of the soil; as it
is known that all grass crops allow
the soil to increase in fertility.
Third, if the right varieties of
grasses including the clOvers are
used the fertility will be largely in
creased
Fourth, if this is the proper course
pursued to get good stand-if the
ground is literally covered with a
growth of grass-the yield will be
more than doubled as compared with
Yields now obtained and the increase
in fertility will be still greater. Any
good soil properly prepared and
sown to grass of the right varieties.
is capable of producing four tons to
the acre and even more; and if clover
is made the main grass two crops
each season may be taken. each OF
which may be made to yield about
four tons. This means doing the
work right from beginning to end.
Only about One-half the labor Is
required for the grass crop as COM
pared with that of the grain crop;
and if good stock is kept and the hay
fed out to them even at the low
prices of cattle there will be e
greater profit than from grain crop,

Danger In Oh Stoves.

The consumate folly of people who
fancy that they can heat q room with
gas stoves, or with new-fangled ''car-
bOnite" fuel, without providing way
for the deadly products of combustion
to escape into the air, says New York
paper, has received fresh illustration
in a New Jersey town, where two
guests were suffocated almost to death
in . room in which they were quar-
tered in company with one Of these
newly patented devices for heating
rooms without any chimney or draught-
1t ought to be known by erybody and
everywhere, that the combustion of any
sort of fuel-natural or artificial, solid,
liquid or gaseous, produces dangerous
gases, noxious to health, and, in large
quantities, perilous to life. 1t was once
the fashion to use pan of charcoal,
ignited, as a means of suicide. These
new fuels, employed in stoves without
stovepipe or chimney, ARE almost as sure
to kill as the old method.-Exchange.
The Columbus journal., 1893-06-21
Household HELMS.

In packing gowns they will be
found to crease very little if paper is
placed between the folds.
4 sponge large enough to expand
and fill the chimney after having
been squeezed in, tied to a slender
stick is the best thing with which to
clean lamp chimney.
Corn meal is one of the best cos
metics known. Keep jar on the
washstand and rub a handful well
into the skin after washing with
warm water; wipe it off, dust out
your eyebrows. and then see how
satiny your face feels.
A simple way to remove grease
spots from wall paper. caused by the
head resting against the wall, is to
hold piece of clean blotting paper
over the spot and press moderately
warm fiat iron over it. Repeat the
operation until all the grease is out
In making wash dresses for children
it will be we'll to make the skirts
plain and hem them, and then run a
tuck by hand on the under side of
the hem. This can be let out before
the dress is washed, and will Offset
the inevitable shrink of some kinds
of goods.
A small scrubbing brush is a very
valuable article about the sink for
scrubbing the skins of beets and pO-
tatoes and other vegetable roots.
Where a root is not peeled. it is nee
essary to scrub it we'll with brush
in order to get it clean, and where
it is peeled, it is much better to
scrub it before it is peeled than to
wash it by merely soaking it in cold
water.
Beef dripping, which is useful in
place of lard in many instances,
should be clarified. This is readily
done by pouring boiling water over
it and stirring it SO that the impuri-
ties will be washed out and will set
tie on the bottom. Let it cool and
the drippings will rise to the top. If
not as clear as you would like heat it
in a clean saucepan and strain
through piece of cloth.

Gen. O. q. Howard and the Besgar.

When General o. O. Howard was
in Chattanooga beggar. with a
withered arm, from which the fingers
and part of the hand were missing,
came up to him and asked for aims.
The general. with twinkle in his
eye. held out his empty sleeve and
said: "You are better off than am,
for you have your arm left, while l
have lost mine" The cripple gazed
at the empty sleeve for moment and
then extracted fifteen cents from the
pocket of his tattered jeans trousers.
s.Here," he said. turning to General
Howard; ..this is. all I've got, but
you're welcome to it." There was a
general laugh at the expense of the
distinguished commander of the de:
partment of the East, and he made
the man happy by giving him sill
yer dollar. r.-ArgOnaut.
The Columbus journal., 1893-06-21
Cracked Ice.

People who take cracked ice get the
stimulus of ice upon the nerves of the
mouth and tongue, and not the flooding
by water of the feeble throat and stom-
ach. Did not one ingenious nurse, at
the time a matron in the University
hospital, some years ago, feed pa
tient who revOlted at the mere thought
of food, and was starving in his ex-
haustion, by deftly sprinlling pounded
ice over the bits of broiled chicken that
she had prepared to tempt his taste? 1t
was the novelty and sprinkling ice that
carried the day. The man tasted, en-
jOyed and ate it all. The uses of cracked
ice in cholera cases are familiar to some.
1t is possible that with hot-water bags
at the feet, hot mush pOultices on the
stomach and constant diet of cracked
ice no further treatment may be needed
to complete 4 cure.-Philadelphia Led

KNOWLEDGE

, Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than Others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health Of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation;
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession. because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
enins them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all dru >
gists in soc and 81 bottles, but it is man
nfactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.
The Columbus journal., 1893-06-21
Double Crops.

Why not raise two crops to-
gether9 Farmers, with but little eX-
ira trouble. can raise two or more
crops upon the same piece of land by
selecting varieties that will not mix
or draw the same substance from the
soil. and in this way not retard the
growth of the main crop, but greatly
lessen the expense of producing it.
SGuashes, beets, dwarf peas will
thrive finely with potatoes, while
beans, pumpkins. tomatoes and turn
ips do we'll with corn. Melons.
pumpkins and squash should never be
planted together no more than sweet
corn and common field corn, for one
willspartake of the other and lessen
the value of each.
Thus from a single acre full crop
of corn may be obtained. besides five
or six bushels of beans, many loads
of pumpkins and turnips, and all the
tomatoes a dozen families could use.
From the potato field a full supply of
beets, squashes and peas are received,
without incurring extra expense or
adding but little if any labor to the
cultivating OF the main crop. 1t is
that where land is heavily cropped
an extra amount of manure is needed
to keep up the fertility of the same;
brt every farmer knows that the
nVte an acre can be made to produce
by manuring, the greater the profit
is to the owner.-Farmers Voice.
The Columbus journal., 1893-06-21
Tho Pigeons OF st. Marks.

Nothing is more amusing than to
watch, on a winters day, the marvel
lous intelligence with which the
pigeons of St. Marks, in Venice.
can discriminate between residents
and visitors in the grand square of
that city, the Piazza of St Mark
The moment a foreigner shows his
face in the Piazza the pigeons set
upon him in clouds, hoping to be fed.
They do not trouble the natives, who
may be summing themselves by the
hundreds in the square. More
curious still, they do not trouble the
ragged men and boys strolling about
the Piazza with bags of grain. which
they sell to visitors to feed the
pigeons. They, however, keep their
eyes on these persons, andas soon as
they see one of them approaching a
visitor they hasten to him in clouds,
and surrounding the visitor add their
supplications to that of the seller, as
if saying-"Yes. do buy the grain;
buy it for US; do buy it."
