Black Minorca Fowls.

TIE island of Minorca, the eastern
most of the Balearic Isles, lying off the
southeastern coast of Spain. has given
the name to breed Of fowls which Is
attracting much attention in this coun-
try. The Minorcas have points of re-
semblance to the Spanish and Leghorn
fowls, but are larger than either. 1t Is
the opinion Of many skillful breeders
that the black Spanish and black Mi
norcas were originally identical, but
the former has been bred for the white
face and the other fancy points, while
the latter retains the original red face,
larger size and greater hardness of the
original. The combs are larger than
those of the Leghorns. There are both
black and white Minorcas, but the for
mer are principally bred in this coun-
try. They are fine stately fowls, with
large single combs and long wattles.

A Cough Medicine.


A foreign medical journal Is author
tty for the statement that a tablespoon
full of glycerine in hot milk or cream
will at once relieve the most violent
attack Of coughing. This is a simple,
easily obtained and harmless remedy.
and, If it keeps good its promise, will
prove to be Of great value. Equally
simple and quite as effective is the use
of glycerine spray through an atomi-
ger. This is applied directly to the in
famed or irritated surfaces. and gives
almost instant relief. In attacks of i'll
fiuenza, colds In the head, sore throat,
and like troubles. glycerine mixed with
three times its bulk of water, boiled and
cooled, is an invaluable remedy. A
little practice will enable the patient to
fill the lungs with the spray, and The
smoothing and cooling effect Is re-
markable. Mixed with an equal bulk
Of sulphurous acid, glycerine is an al
most unfailing remedy for throat trou-
bles of all kinds, and, being harmless.
can be used by all people. 1t must,
however, be freshly made, as it keeps
but short time after mixing.-New

the medical profession, since it describes

Farm Notes.

A bee man, who has experimental
to determine whether bees injure fruit,
says that although many bees were
seen banqueting on grapes, not one was
doing any mischief to the sound fruit.
Experiments favor the continuance
Of sods in orchards during the winter.
While full blowing is an advantage in
many cases, the sod of the orchard

A rich banker once said to a farmer
friend: "If all country homes looked as
pleasant as yours every farm in the
land would be purchased at any price

While 1t is best to provide a good
warm shelter for the hogs during the
winter, in nearly all cases 1t will be best
to arrange so that they can run out
every day during the winter. Close
confinement is not conducive to good
health, even with hogs.

is not safe to rely on one crop for a
profit, for should excessive rains or
drouth injure such crop the farmer

of soils should be made to produce gen.
eral crops, which, with judicious rota-
ton, gives the farmer an opportunity
to realize on some Of the crops, though
he may lose on others.
