Danger from Damn Linen.

Damp linen is sufficient to account
fer frequent colds, consumption and
premature death OF whole family.
Rheumatism, when produced from
damp linen, develops into a form
which is generally incurahle. All body
linen, shortly before putting on,
should be made dry by good fire.
Those who have experienced no signal
evidence Of the mischief of damp linen
tire apt to be careless on the subject;
b,t the carelessness will inevitably en-
tail it's punishment, which is likely to
accumulate insidionsly until it is too
late.-N. y. Ledger.

POULTRY METHODS.
Fowls Need as Good Care as Any Other
Kind Of Stock.

Fowls Need as Good Care as Any Other
Kind of Stock.
To make poultry success, they
should receive good care and manage
ment, the same rs any other stock.
When we want milk, lots of it, and good
butter, we protect our cows from
storms, and feed them what we thini<
will produce rich milk and good butter.
Hence we must have for our poultry Il
warm poultry-house where there will
be plenty OF sunshine and protected
through the day as well lis night from
the storms.
The best feed / ever found to make
hens lay was wheat, not threshed, but
cut and fed to them straw-head and
all. After they have picked the wheat
from the heads, one has the straw for
bedding. 1t would pay amy farmer or
poultryman to have wheat cut AMI
saved, straw and all; have it loose or
in sheaves, and feed what they need.
When wheat is only so cents per bushcl
there IS no feed SO cheap rs wheat.
Through the winter, if the ground is
covered with snow, they must be pro-
vided with oyster shells or ground bone
to make shell. Feeding wheat heads
beats throwing grain among litter to
make them scratch for exercise, for
they will scratch to get the wheat out
of the heads.
Milk is one of the greatest egg pro-
ducers known. The great trouble witt,
many farmers is that they think th..
poultry can get through the entire year
without feeding. Not long ago hauled
a load of corn to a man whose wife kept
a lot of chickens. When unloading IT
every time an car of corn would fall Oh
the ground he would pick it up for fear
chicken might get IL grain. Well,
thought that was tough on the poultry.
Poultry requires feed the same US any
other stock, and when eggs are 20 cents
per dozen it will pay to give more at
tention to t]lem.--E. Wing, in Orange
County Farmer.

the bronze turkey in England has done
considerable in recent years to- depose
it of it's quondam supremacy. The black
is n handsome variety. All black fowls
are handsome, American prcjudices To
the contrary notwithstanding. Black
plu1nage means black beak and legs,
or approximately so, with white skin,
Black is the most iustrous plumage ,ve
have. In the sunlight the greens and
puppies are extremely beautiful. But
black in this country, owing to unre;.-
sonable prejudice, is not popular color.
Only one black variety OF fowls is
widely popular--the Langshan. The
Minorca narrowly escaped being pop
ular. But black ought to be popular.
for it's wearsrs. are usually hardy and
always beautiful So, with this preju-
dice in view, we need not wonder tina
black turkeys arc comparatively few ii.
number. The black turkey should be
black throughout. The American
standard makes Feathers other than
black disqualification. But, despite
this rigidity, the variety often ''harks
back" to It's banded ancestors, and
bands will show on wing feathers and
tail. These bands do not hurt the ia
,or OF the flesh. although they may pre-
vent the bird from winning u prize.
II the breeder OF black turkeys will
fattcn all that show these bands
marks of heredity-and use only tho
solid colored specimens for breeders,
this tendency will be reduced, though
it is impossible to predict how many
generations 1T will take to obliteratc
it wholly. Agricultural.

some Suggestions Oh Matters About the
House.

House.
White crochcted shawls are cleaned
by covering them for night with
-four or white cornmeai; then shake
them well and if not perfectly clean
repeat the treatment. The stockinet
and good rubber dress shields can be
washed in warm soap suds, pulled into
shape and dried by pinning them up
in Il window. japanese, China and
pongec silks and handkerchiefs should
be washed in warm water, rinsed at
once and dried in the shade. When
nearly dry, iron with Il cloth between
the silk and IRON. Soak genuine
whalebones, when bent, in warm wa
ter, and then at the end of so minutes
iron them out witt, Il hot iron. Navy
blue flannel dresses should be washed
IN bran and water without any soap,
but with cup of salt set the color.
Soft water is always the best for clean
ing. or hard water may be sOftened

for wearing in damp weather, but if
the ordinary Grape is worn and gets
rusty and slimsy, as it will do in time,
it can be renovated at home after a
formula that I have personally tested
many times. rip out the hens o. wells,
brush away all dust with an old silk
handkerchief. ,and wind the Grape
smoothly, catching it with pins,
around broomstick or clothes-sticll.

and whcr it boils lay the stick across it;

wise. Keep the waite: boiling and steam
the Grape all day, turning the stick so
that every part of the Grape may be
steamed. Then put the stick away for
20 hours. as the Grape must perfectly
dry before unpinning it. This will
make it retain good black color and
it will be crisp to the touch. Clean

OATS AND ANTHRAX.

Interesting Decision Recently Rendered
by an Englis,l Court.
n case of much interest to farmers
has been decided in one of the Eng
ish courts. The plaintiffs sued to re-
bower the price of certain oats. The
Defendant denied liability ON the
ground that the oats had contained the
germs of anthrax, which had caused
he disease to break out in his stables
md led to the loss of 50 horses. Some
bf these were covered by insurance,
out he counter-claimed in respect to
fthe others. Several corn dealers who
had bought some of the oa:s in ques-
ion from the plaintiffs, mixed and UNI
Pnixed, and sold them again said they
had received no complaints concerning
Them. An expert veterinary surgeon
said the oats had a considerable guam
Pity of dirt in them, and should not
Pave been fed to horses without being
screened. He thought it possible that
kvinnoWing the oats would have got
rid Of the bacllli, as it was possible, if
here were any spores, they were all
pm the surface. He thought therewa
room to doubt that the oats in question
Eaused the horses to die. The jury
Found that the goods were unmer-
ehantlble by reason Of latent germs of
anthrax in them when they were first
delivered to the defendant; that the
defendant had not been guilty of neg
Pigcnce in not having cleaned them,
put that he had been so guilty by rea-
Fon of not taking the order Of 9; second
Fupply of the oats off the file. judy
ment was given for the PLAINTIFF FOR
Pll0, the value of the second lot of oats
