REMEDY FOR RoUP IN FOWLS.

This disease is exceedingly con-
tagious, and is similar in every respect
to the diphtheria of persons. 1t arises
from the same causes, viz, poisoning
by bad air or dampness, by which the
germs of the disease are encouraged
The remedy lies, first, in removing
the cause, making the poultry house
clean and dry, and keeping it as warm
as may be. The sick birds are treated
by giving doses of powdered chlorate
of potash, one small pinch of it being
dropped in the throat twice day.
The swelled heads are bathed with
warm vinegar, and the mouth and
throat washed by means of soft
feather. The house should be we'll
disinfected by burning sulphur in it
during the day, keeping it tightly
closed for an hour or two while the
fumes of the sulphur are acting. All
dead birds should be buried deeply,
away from the house. New York

Explaining the Puzzle of Spinning.

A top, while spinning, keeps erect
because it is under the influence of and
is balanced between opposing forces
It's rapid rotation gives to all it's parti-
cles tendency to fly from the centre
If the atoms of wood were not held to-
gether by the attraction of cohesion
they would fly away in circle out
ward from it, just as the drops Of
water fly off mop while it is being
twirled. A little sand, salt or dust
thrown on a top while in motion would
be scattered in q circle, just as its own
atoms would be if they were free to
separate, but not with the same force,
because the atoms of salt, etc, are not
in an active state of rotation, and SO
would only be influenced by momentary
contact with the rotating body. This
tendency of the particles of a rotating
body to fly outward from the centre is
called the centrifugalforce. The other
force influencing the top is the attrac-
ton of gravitation, which, we're the
top not spinning would draw it toward
the earth. The motions of the earth
and all the heavenly bodies are con-
trolled by precisely the same guidance
as that which keeps spinning top up
right. -Chicago Herald.

Probably the smartest young busi-
ness men in New York are the Italian
bootblacks about Broadway and Canal
street. They accost the passerby with
the usual "Shiuc, shine, sir?'
When one refuses to recognize their
solicitations, they become coniden-
tial, and following their victim eH-
plain: "Nice-a shine, boss, nice-a
shine-only three cents (holding up
three fingers).
If this appeal does not produce the
proper effects the anxious boothlack
makes coup" Plucklng the mans
sleeve he cries out:
"rwo centa, boss! Only two cents,
frst-a class-a shine, boss, only two
centap
The bootblsck has learned that the
average mans heart Is not large
enough to resist such plea, and he
succeeds, in nine cases out of ten, IN
inveigling the passcrby to stand up
against wall and have his shoes
BACKED for "only two ccnta, boss -

HOW TO GROW AND SHIP CAUL1FLowER.

HOW TO GROW AND SHIP CAULIFLowER.
Caulifower, like all vegetables of
the brassica, or cabbage, family, re-
quires n very rich soil. The land
should be treated to about eighty
two-horse loads of horse manure, or of
comported horse and hog manure to
the acre. This should be plowed I'M
der, care to be taken that the soil be
not wet, but in perfect friable and
mellow condition. The drills should
be about three feet apart and the cul-
tivation level and very frequent
There is hand cultivator which is
preferable after the plants are about
half grown, because horse or mule
would doubtless destroy them if the
drills be only three feet wide. The
object is to have large, compact heads.
AS soon as these are we'll formed they
should be shipped, or the blue or pur-
pie bloom will form, and then the
heads are unstable, at fair OF good
prices. If necessary, turning the
plant on its roots, say half way round,
will act as a check, and breaking two
or three of the outer leaves over the
already fully formed head will afford
a beneficial shade and little more re-
tarding. Only one-third of the leaf is
turned over the head, and it is not
separated from the main plant. Caui-
flower should be shipped in shallow
crates, or, if the regular cabbage
crates be used, pack in tiers SO as not
to injure the head. The recently
formed refrigerator car lines with ex-
pert handlers will prove a great adj
vantage for shippers. Courier j our

RIOTOUS STRIKERS.
Workers In the Silk Mills of Pater-
son TerrorIze the Town.


The city of Patel son, n J., was for several
DAYS practically in the hands of a lawless
meb. A thousand strikers went from one to
another of several OF the silk ribbon factories
and dye works, broke down doors and
fences, and forced the workmen to aban-
don their work and JOIN them
Thousands of other strikers looked on,
ready at moments call to join their COM
rades and demolish whole buildings. In
the evening the police charged large
crowd of strikers and dispersed them.
During the day the police seemed to be
powerless There are II, 900 idle silk workers
In Paterson and only sixty-flve policemen.
The striking silk weavers and fax spin
ners were joined by the silk dyers. Riots
broke out in the town at intervals all day.
Early in the morning the strikers began to
mass themselves about Weidmans mill BY
3 o'clock there were thousand people
gathered and the disposition OF the crowd
was such that the little guard of police be-
came uneasy.
The strikers marched to the dye works Of
Anger h Simon, half mile away. When the
second mob reached the mill the doors were
broken in and the entire building was AT the
mercy of the mob.
Five minutes after the mob broke open the
doors they began to destroy property. Big
bundles of finished and unfinished silk,
valued at thousands of dollars, were thrown
from the shelves to the moor.
The mob then hurried to the dye works OF
Vermorel & Kimball, on River street, but
the police we're there before them, and the
works of Richard Berdan, on Water street,
were attacked. The doors were forced and
a repetition of the scenes and doIngs at
Anger Il Simonss was threatened.
Mr. Berdan said nothing until the strikers
started to throw the silk upon the floor.
Then he sprang upon bench and, with
drawn revolver, ordered them to throw up
their hands, and they did 80. With their
hands still above their heads and covered by
Mr.. Berdan's pistol the strikers left the mill
BY this time the mob had increased to
about three Thousand and in disorderiy
mass, cursing and singing, moved through
the city to the various dye shops and forced
them to close. Store-keepers shut their
places of business for fear of being looted
and residents kept out of the streets.
At night about 5000 strikers gathered in
RanfOrd Brothers mill and were driven out
by the police Clubs were used freely and
several heads were broken, though there
were no fatalities.
The Mayor has issued a proclamation, but
no attention was paid to it and more trouble
was feared.

the boiled seed, but at a greater cost
per pound gain.
The advantages to be gained in the
use of roasted seed hardly justify its
general use.
Boiled seed are more palatable than
raw seed, less laxative and make
faster gains. May continue to be used
with profit.
Steers fed on raw seed, eating less
quantity of seed, ate slightly more
hay in consequence.
Cotton seed, at usual prices, is q
good and cheap addition to corn and
hay ration.
The best beef ration found by pre-
vious experimentation seed meal,
hulls and silage, is not here proven the
best, when calculated at former prices
raw seed, corn and hay being better.
When value of raw seed is raised to
near market present prices, ten dollars
per ton, the meal, bulls and silage
are again the best ration; raw seed,
corn and hay being next best.
The average cost of gain per pound
in all lots at present price of food was
8. "a cents.
The cheapest feed per pound gained
for all steers fed, when raw cotton
seed is valued at SO per ton, was raw
seed, corn and hay.

TREE WOUNDS.

Tree trimming is in order, and
many large limbs viii be cut off I'M
avoidably. No stump should be left,
but the cut should be made close to
the trunk and the wound should be
painted thoroughly after as it has
seasoned for few weeks. Left to de-
cay in the weather it will soon admit
water to the heart of the tree, when
rapid and certain destruction follows.
Some people make the mistake of
painting the wound as soon as it is
made. Paint and oil cannot adhere to
a wet surface, but will peel off, or will
let sap and water blister beneath it,
and very soon the application is value
less.-New York World.
