How to Remov. Moth Patches.

A common prescription is one large pill of taraxacum four nights in the week, sometimes for n period of months. The diet must be regulated to secure good digestion. Then apply a prescrip- tion made up of elder flower ointment. an ounce. and sulphate of zinc. 20 grains. This should be mixed we'll, rub bed in at night and washed off in the morning with plenty of soap and water.

Doings ofa Day In NauKatuch and Union

ooings ofa Day In NaugatucH and Union City.
 NAUGATUcK. Dec The fire alarm sys- tenn to be acted upon at the special bor- ough meeting on Wednesday evening next, is no experiment as it is in use in many cities and incorporated towns. It will cost about s2, 100 to complete what it will be necessary for the borough to have. to give an effective system. This would be a very small item should one of our manu- featuring concerns getion fire. As we are now situated it is necessary for some party to go to one of our factories and get the watchman to blow an alarm. In this way from ten to fifteen minutes is often lost, that would be saved with an electric sys- tenn leading to the bunk room. Still there is another matter to take into considera- ton. whether an alarm from the bell tower in the night would call out fireman enough to get the apparatus to a fire. or will the borough be obliged tD provide teams to draw each piece of apparatus. Officer Grant ran into a scrap last night on the bridge near Rubber avenue. and marched five of the participants to the lookup. The row originated over a game of cards.
 One of our justices says he never finds a man guilty for being drunk, unless he Is an old rounder. He says he has tried cases where the constable, grand juror. prosecuting officer and justIce were all drunk. and he would be fool to convict man no drunker than they were, even if the town did have to pay the bill. The G. A R. flag was set at half mast yesterday out of respect to their departed | comrade. John Burke whose funeral will take place from St Francis church to-mor- row morning.
 There have been lS6 births in town during the seven months from April l, 1894: Thirty-fve in April, 2l in May. 23 in June. 27 in July. 24 in August. II in September, 20 in October. This is six teen more than in the corresponding months of 1893. Our death rate under
 five years of age for some months in 1893 was 57. this year 35. July of thIs and August of last year showed the heaviest mortality.

some of the large lateral ribs. They
are also slightly hairy. The stem is
beset with numerous stout prickles.
Many of the related plants of this
genus are ANNALS, but horse nettle is
a deep-rooted perennial, its roots-often
extending three feet or more into the
soil. This fact makes it very tena-
cious weed, very difficult to exter-
inmate. For this reason the weed
grows in dense patches, which are
carefully avoided by stock in pastures.
i would advise plowing the land at
this time, allowing none of the leaves
to appear. The plants should be kept
down the succeeding year. Plow the
ground again next summer. Sow
thickly with rye and keep watch of
the nettle, allowing none to grow

AMONG THE POULTRY.

A SANDY soil is the best location for
a poultry yard.
The growing fowls should have a
change in the grain ration every week.
KEEPING the nests dark will often
prevent the hens from eating the eggs.

fowl fat If highly fed With fattening

AIR-sI.AKED lime freely used in the

ers. They should be picked regularly,
except during the laying season.
DUsTING air-slacked lime freely over
the floor is one of the best remedies
for dampness in the poultry house.
THE late-hatched turkeys can nearly
always be given fresh range much
younger than those Matched earlier.
To SET a hen when the weather is
hot and dry, good plan is to put an
inverted sod in the bottom Of the nest.
AFTER the chickens are six weeks
old there is steady gain on the part
of the large breeds over the small ones.
WHERE the poultry are allowed to
shift for themselves and are given the
range of the farm they often prove a
nuisance.
TO FATTEN geese give boiled oats
three times day with plenty of milk.
On this young geese can be fattened
in month.

DISCRIMINATING 1t.
The well-known horse nettle (Sola

Horse nettle is native, from Con-
necticut south to Florida and west to
Texas. I have seen it very abundant
in central Illinois and in southern and
central Missouri, occurring not only
along roadsides, but in the streets of
cities, on vacant lots and too often in
cultivated fields, where it does great
injury to crops

that this weed is closely related to the
cultivated potato, but the botanical

FEEDING CALVES.

Practical Directions for Raising the
Young Creatures by the Pail.
Don't overfeed, especially for the first
ten days.
Don't expect the calves to thrive if
the pals are not washed every day and
occasionally scalded.
Don't stop the new milk ration too
quickly or too abruptly; gradually
change to old milk, with linseed meal
porridge.
Don't forget lump of chalk or clay
sod to lick when in stable, as an anti
dote to acidity; in a state of nature
they get to the soil directly, and con-
sumo more or less daily.
Don't neglect the feed box. Get
them started to eat as soon as pos
sible, and by keeping manger sweet
and clean encourage them to eat. as
much as possible. AS with the pals,
SO should the manger be scalded oc
casionally.
Don't forget that the calf requires a
ration to grow bone and muscle as we'll
as fat
Don't expect corn to supply all that
the calf requires in shape of grain.
Remember it is food rich in nitrogen
Gus elements that will supply that
which is most wanted, such as oats,
bran, peas and linseed cake with
clover hay.
Don't ever let it slip the memory or
practice that to be grown proftably
there must be no let up from day of
birth to the block; one day unprofita-
bly, spent, or in which there is no in
crease, will take the profit of three
days to simply pay for its keep that
day.-Live Stock Journal.
