Indigestion in Poultry.

Indigestion is one of the commonest
troubles of fowls and one of the most
easily prevented. Grit takes the place
of teeth with fowls. 1t requires to be
sharp in order to grind up the food
and prepare it for digestion. Yet how
often is the supply deficient? Crushed
oyster shells or sharp gravel should be
accessible to the hens. Acidity of the
stomach is the result of indigestion.
1t may be corrected by mixing very
finely pulverized charcoal with the
food or by keeping supply
of broken charcoal in the neigh
borhood of the fowls. One of the best
methods of giving it is to char couple
of corncobs once week in the oven and
then let the fowls have them to peck at
The feeding of charcoal is excellent at
all stages of the hens existence, but is
particularly desirable when the fatten-
ing process is going ON.

Extra Care for Improved stock.

1t should always be understood by
those who purchase improved stock of
any kind that it will neeo continue
ton of the extra care and feeding which
has brought it to its present condition
Blood tells, but it is only when given
good feed and care that it will fulfill ex-
pectations. Even the half-bred stock
viii not shift for themselves as the hardy
native stock has learned to do. There
should always be sufficient food to keep
the animal thrifty. Itneed not be, and,
with stock designed for breeding, should
not be fattening. But thrifty grow
ing animal will always be in condition
for killing if an accident, such as break
ing a leg, makes killing necessity

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
TO TELL A HORSES AGE.

To tell the age of any horse
Inspect the lower jaw, OF course;
The six front teeth the tale will tell
And every doubt and fear dispel.
Two middle '-nippers" you behold
Before the colt is two weeks old,
Before eight weeks two more Will come,
Eight months the corners" out the gum.
The outside grooves will disappear
From middle two in just one year:
IN two years from the second pair;
In three the corners" too, arc bare.
At two the middle ''nippers' drop.
At three the second pair can't stop;
When four years old the third pair goes
AZ five full new set he shows.
The deep black spots will pass from view
At six years from the middle two;
TIE second pair at seven years;
At eight the spot each corner" clears.
From middle "nippers" upper jaw
At nine the black spots will withdraw;
The second pair at ten are white;
Eleven finds the corner" light.

The oval teeth three-sided grow;
They longer get, project before,

THE EYES OF INSECTS.
Some Species Have Thousands of Facets
in Each Eye-NIass.

Some Species Have Thousands of Facets
in Each Eye-Mass.
The facets of the eye-masses OF
some species of insects are exceedingly
numerous; in some cases, in fact, the
number is entirely beyond belief. Each
of these separate facets" is a perfect
eve, and they are so arranged as to give
their insect owner commanding view
of all the cardinal points and every con
ceivable intermediate direction at one
and the same time. In the ant, there
is not to exceed so facets in the great
compound eye. 1t has been argued that
this is natures provision, because the
ant spends so much of its time under
ground. This may be true, but what
is the naturalist going to do about
Blaps mucronata, the most sluggish o.
European beetles? This last-named
creature spends ninety-nine-hu
dredths of its time in the dark, yet
has $50 eye facets! Meloe, another in
sect of similar habits, has over 500
facets in each eye-mass.
In certain varieties of the dragon
flies the aggregate of facets in the
compound eve often exceeds 1900. =
appears to be general rule, notwith
standing the exception cited above
that the swiftest insects have the
greatest number of eye facets. The
swift-winged butterflies have'f from 10.
600 to 1900 in each eye-mass. and the
Mordella, the swiftest and most active
known beetle Ga resident of Britain, /,
has no fewer than $4,000 facets in each
of his enormous compound eyes.-St.

THE CANADIAN THISTLE.

Method of discriminating This Most De-
structiVe of Weeds.
Get the land we'll set in clover, and
the richer the better. Let it stand until
just as the thisties begin to show
bloom, then NOW it, being sure to cut
all thistles. 1t is well to apply some
plaster to start a quick growth Of
the clover. When the clover is
up a good growth, say at the
middle or last of July or first
of August, pillow the field and be
sure that it is all plowed. Do not cut
the clover, but pillow the whole ground,
having chain on pillow if necessary to
put all the grass under. Roll at once
