ABOUT STAGE FALLS.
An English Actor Tells dow FIX

An English Actor Tells dow FIX
pcrrS MIKE Them without Injury.
There are certain stage secrets
which the public are never allowed TO
know said an actor lately. 80 jeal-
ouSly are these guarded that dramatic
tutors absolutely refuse to teach them
to their own pupils, unless such are
bona fide' members of the theatrical
profession. Among these wrinkles are
the methods Of preventing conclusion
in stage falls.
The chief secret, quite unknown TO
amateurs. lies in the trick known as
initiating i. e.. inhaling while falling,
Il deep inspiration of air, which enor-
mously decreases the body's weight.
Sarah Bernhardt, Sir Henry Irving
and Mr.. Beeerbohm Tree all initiate;
and no artist could otherwise fail
nightly for hundreds Of performances
without serious injury. So essential Is
this imitation that in a Forthcoming
drama. in which an actor has to fail
from a house top to the solid stage
floor. he will wear under his costume
a complete suit of rubber, inflated with
hydrogen gas. Il c"Ontrivance recently
invented. Few people, by the way,
are aware that hetr are several London
actors who have actually had Opportu-
mites of studying falls from soldiers
shot through the heart or head upon
the battlefield. one is especially prom
inent, whose realistic death falls are
the result of his observations in hot
action in the Soudan and Iululand.
Mr.. Charles Wyndham, too, when
acting as Il surgeon with II of the
Confederate armies during the Amerl-
can war Of secession. and Mr.. Charles
Collette, who held Il commission in the
Prince of Wales Third ragOOn Guards,
have witnessed many impressive
scenes, while Mr.. Pennington, a hero
of the famous Balaklaya charge, Mr.,

tie Ashantee and Afghan wars, and

General Charles E. Buzzeil of Lakeport,
N. H., Department Commander of New
Hampshire G. A. R., has something of in
terest to say to the people in regard to the
remarkable curative powers of DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy. Few
men are more widely known than General
Buzzell, who is Street Commissioner of
Lakeport, and the most prominent builder
and contractor in the state. The General
says:

as a result of over work, became nervous,

by simple expedients. The control Of
temperature and moisture are the es-
sential proofs. A common practice in
France in keeping manure moist is to
pile the manures upon q surface slop-
ing toward cistern into which the
liquid drains. This is pumped back
from time to time upon the pile.
A tendency Of the times in this coun-
try, however, is to recommend that the
manure be placed upon the fields as
soon as it Is made. would cay in gen.
eral the use of proper absorbents-such
as peat, sawdust or straw, and of am.
monia-fxers, like land plaster, etc., the
packing, and, if necessary, mixing Of
manures to keep out air and thus to
keep down temperature, and sheltering
| from exposure to weather--are the best
farm practices in handling manure when
it is stored at barn.
Thirdly, as to the rational selection
of commercial fertilizers: The pur-
chaser should compare the guarantees,
the station analysis, selling prices and
the market prices of the crude stocks
of the various brands offered to him.
He should study his soil and needs. He

manure. Then, bearing in mind that
nitrogen costs two and three-fourths
times as much as soluble phosph oric
acid and three and two-thirds times as
much as potash, while it is the most
plentiful element in the we'll kept ma
nure of well-fed COWS, he should query
whether he needs to buy goods carry
ing large percentages of this costly in
gredient.
Fourthly. We find that for each dol
lar spent for the average fertilizer in
Vermont in 1895, thirty.one cents was
paid for mixing, bagging, freight and
selling. Is this excessive? Cannot the
buyer do some of this work HIMSELF
The large buyer can. The small buyer
cannot, except by combining with 9TH
ers to practice home mixing. The
dairyman with plenty of nitrogen in his
barnyard manure can often, by club
bling with his neighbors, buy phosphoric
acid and potash to advantage to supple
ment his home. made materials. The
Experiment Station stands ready to aid,
with advice or analysis, all who desire
to try home mixing.

Cure for Poultry Diseases.

There is one simple remedy that sell
dom fails, says the Mirror and Farmer,
when number of hens become droopy,
refuse to lay, and show signs of bowel
disease. In ninety-nine cases among
one hundred the difficulties encountered
are due to indigestion, which arises
from overlooking. BY Withholding all
food for three or four days, a cure will
nearly always result without the aid of
medicines When hens are fat it is
difficult to injure them by three or four
days fasting, as they are then we'll pro-
vided with the stored fat on their bod
les. Before they can starve they must
first become poor in flesh. The fasting,
however, enables the hens to become
clear of the cause of the ailment, rests
the digestive organs, and enables them
to better digest any food that may be
then allowed. When the three or four
days expire give only one meal per day
for week, allowing only lean meat,
one pound to twenty hens, and the
change OF diet will also prove of ad-
vantage. Hundreds of remedies have
been suggested for ailments of poultry
which require time and labor, but the
best and most harmless remedy is to
follow the method suggested above,
and the result will seldom be disap
pointing.

To Prevent AbOrting.

Editor Waterman: i have been
troubled this fall and winter with my
cows aborting. The trouble was, to all
appearance, going through my whole
dairy. Isolating the animal did MOI
prevent It. Disinfectants were used
about the stable, and still it continued.
Thinking there might be cause for it
l procured some bone-meal aud began
feeding it to all my cows. Two Of them
were making bag, and to all appear
ances were on the same road. That
was two weeks ago. Feeling satisfied
that bone-meal has arrested the disease
in my herd send this communication
to you for the benefit of any who may
be similarly situated. l have mealed
my cows all summer for several years.

AGRICULTURAL.
Report of q Maine Dairy.

A farmer in Penobscot county, Maine,
sends to Hoard's Dairyman a state
ment of the proceeds of his six cows
for the year ending January l, 1896.
He claims 800 pounds of butter to the
COW. George Davis of East Montpelier
has recently shown in these columns a
product of 440 pounds to the COW for
the same period, in dairy that aver
aged for the year six cows and
three and one-half two-year. olds. The
Maine farmer gives some details that
may be of interest to the Vermont
brethren:
81 began the year with four mature
COW full blood Jersey, the rest grade
Jerseys. One cow was sold the first of
August, also one heifer the last of Au-
gust. Two two-year-old heifers came
in to take the places October 20, 1895.
Butter made, 100 pounds; cheese,
1855 pounds; two calves sold, $500;
milk sold, $1,000. This butter is sent
to enc man in Cambridge, Mass, and
has been for three years, at twenty-five
cents per pound net; cheese mostly
consumed at home. We grow lots of
berries and use lots of cream during
the berry season, of which no account
is made. Cream is always used in
cooking. Our family averages six. l
never weighed my grain ration until q
short time ago. As was reading over
the rations formulate just thought
would 90 to the barn and weigh out the
grain l was feeding. 1t astonished me
to see how l was fooling away good
grain. l find l am saving just two
cents per day per COW, which means
fourteen cents per day Gam milking
seven now) or ninety eight cents per
week. How much does that lack of
paying for the Dairyman whole year?
My ration now consists of upland hay,
IL pounds; corn stover, II pounds;
corn and cob meal, 3 pounds; bran, 3
pounds; corn meal, 3 pounds; cotton
seed meal, II pounds. Will you kindly
tell me through he Dairyman what
you think of this ration; with any sug.
gestions you like?"
The Ddsrymdn comments as follows:
The ration given above, if the feed
ing stuffs are of average quality, would
contain organic matter and digestible
nutrients as here given: Organic mat
ter. 1881; protein, "a; carbohydrates,
ID So; tat, go. The cows in this
herd being Jerseys are presumably less
than 1000 pounds in weight and the
proportom of casein to butter fat in
their milk little less than that found
in average milk. Making allowance for
these items, it is probable that the
cows are receiving just about the
amount and proportions of food pre-.
ecribed in the American standard.
The only chance for improvement that
we see would be to look after the gen.
eral health and condition of the cows,
with special reference to their future
usefulness. If the bowels are not now
moderately free, we should advise the
use of enough linseed oil meal to make
them 30. This may be substituted for
equal values in the forage or in the
corn part of the grain"
