Captain st. Julien Cox, "a South Broad
way, rendered his services to Governor
Budd to raise a regiment of infantry and
a battalion of cavalry for coast defense in
California. Yesterday the following reply
was received by telegram
'I have the honor to acknowledge the re-

VERTIGO IN POULTRY.
1t II Pressure of Blood on the Brain,
in Most Cases Caused by Over
feeding.

Usually when fowls have what is
known as twisted neck" or show signs
of vertigo the cause is pressure of
blood on the brain. The next point is
what causes the pressure of blood on
the brain? Such fowls are nearly al
ways apparently healthy, and, in fact,
should show good condition, as only
birds that are well fed suffer from
such ailment. When fowls are on
range they procure much more food
than might be supposed, and to give
corn at night, especially in summer,
is to put them in such condition as
mentioned. Of course, in the winter
season corn may be used. but farmers
and poultrymen should understand
that when a hen has free range she
becomes very fat and has all the OPP
portunity for procuring more food
than she needs. The fact that a hen
may not appear fat may be delu-
sion. If all of the fowls-hens and
chicks-are affected, it is a sure sign
that something is wrong with the food.
It is true that the seedsof some weeds
may be at fault, but usually the cause
is high feeding. The remedy is to put
the birds up and give them nothing
for 4S hours; then give one ounce of
Jean meat to each hen once a day for
ten days-no other food-and after
that feed variety once a day.-Farm
and Fireside.

CATCHING THE SARDINE.
Some Curious Points of Interest
About an Extensive and Proti-
table Fishery.

The 1898 sardine is now on the mar
ket. The fishing season begins early
in June, and is now successful in places
along the Atlantic coast and on Puget
sound. The coasts of Norway and Brit
tany, in France, are the scenes of the
heaviest takes, and the grade of sar-
dimes obtained there are superior.
AS soon as the fishermen notices
shoals Of porpoises or flock of seagulls
off shore sail is made Immediately, for
the sardine is there.
A curious thing about this kind of
fishing is that one rarely sees living
make little squeak when taken from
the water and die instantly. Of the
$50 or 800 fishing boats fitted out at
Belle Isle about 200 belong to Palais
and the others to Sauzon.
It is in these two ports that the
French fishermen sell their fish. An
ordinary catch ofsardines givesto each
boat from 5000 to 10000 fish, and the
price is regulated by the quantity
brought in by the first corners. Seven
francs thousand is fair price.
During the sardine season about 300
women and so men anxiously await the
arrival of the first boats. If there are
no fish there is no work for them.
When the news arrives that the boats
have their welcome cargoes the wom-
en-, in their picturesque costumes, rush
to the cannery like a flock of fright
ened sheep, and each takes her place
+ +ho fc1
dergo their first preparation.
Here the sardines are spread upon
the table and sprinkled with salt.
Then they are cleaned, and when that
operation is finished they are sorted
by little boys and carried into another
part of the esta blishment, where they
are put in pickle.
After this the fish are washed and
placed, one by one, with great care,
upon wire nets. called "grills,' and put
out to dry in the open air. If the
weather is wet or even foggy this
operation is impossible, and the fish
spoil and become worthless, except for
fertilizing.
The tins in which the sardines are
then packed are carried to the oiling-
room, where the last manipula ton
consists of filing them with oil. It
is in this part of the establishment
that the tomato sauce and the spices
are placed in the boxes which give
to the French preparation of sardines
their universal renown.
In any one of the above important
esta blishments the sardines are pre-
pared and exported ten hours after
coming out of the water. Gourmets
should never eat newly prepared sar-
dimes. They have neither the perfume
! nor the flavor of those which have lain
in the boxes for year.-Chicago

HOW TO DRESS FOWLS
in This Respect Cau0es
Comfortable Loss to Growers
and Shippers.

A well-dressed. fowl will of course
command a higher price than poor
addressed one. and it is evident there
must be quite a loss to the growers and
shippers of poultry on this account;
and it might not come amiss to give
few hints on dressing fowls properly,
as there does not seem to be any need
of dressing them poorly. First of all.
crops of all fowls to be killed for mar
ket should be entirely empty. A mis-
take is generally made by not hang
ing the fowl up while stripping off
the feathers, but holding it with one
hand and picking it with the other.
One can work rapidly when the bird
is hanging, as both hands are then at
liberty: the cuticle. a transparent out
side covering of the fowl, is very easily
injured, particularly of scaded bird.
and when the bird is held while pick
ing it this membrane is often rubbed
off in spots; and although this injury
does not seem to show much at first
afterwards these spots turn dark, Civ
ing the bird an unsightly appearance.
Overscalding also loosens the cuticle;
therefore we should exercise great
care not to keep the birds in hot wa ter
for too long a time when scalding
them. Have the water at the boiling
point, yet not actually boiling. Take
the bird by the head and feet and i'm
merse it, lifting up and down in the
water three or four times, then hang
up by the feet. The head should never
be immersed, as it turns the comb pale
and gives the eyes shrunken appear
ance. Now remove all the feathers,
letting the small ones drop into the
barrel beneath and keeping wing and
tail feathers by themselves. The small
feathers may afterward be spread out
and dried if deemed of value. The feet
OF all fowls should be scrupulously
clean; wash. or. still better, brush
them.-Western Plowman.

CaDture Of the PhilfDDines.

We know that the Philippines, de-
spite Spanish misgovernment and cor
ruption, have an average foreign
trade of $5o,o0o.0oo a yesr as
great as Japan's 20 years ago, and
one-ffth that of China to-day.
Though our knowledge of the natural
resources of the Philippines is still
vague, the general consensus is that
in natural resources they will COM
pare favorably with any part of the
far east. And we may believe that,
under honest government, peace and
order will reign, and within a score of
years, under the protection of the
United States, the Philippines will be-
come rival of Japan. The opening
of this group of islands as a foreign
market of increasing purchasing pow
er,yas goal for our commerce and
navigation on the Pacific, comes when
e large and increasing foreign market
seems to this country, as it has seemed
to European powers, an absolute
necessity not only for industrial pros
perity, but for mitigating the conflict
between labor and capital. - Horace

The Best Food for EGxs.

The best food for making hens lay
is lean meat. When the supply of eggs
fails stop all other foods and feed lean
meat, or liver (any cheap meat will
answer), and it will be found superior
to anything that can be used. Green
bone that contains large proportion
of lean meat is even better, provided
the fat portions are removed from the
bone. It will be found cheaper than
grain because it will make eggs. One
reason why hens sometimes fail to lay
when they have plenty of grain is that
they require change. and meat con-
tains the material for supplying the al
bumen of the eggs, and is therefore a
substance that the hens must have or
they cannot perform service. If the
hens are fat give one ounce of lean
meat each day, allowing 0 other food,
for week or two.-American Garden

HANDY FEEDING DEVICE.

on the other. By this arrangement
the poulterer is enabled to open" the
affair like trunk, clean out the
trough and then fill it again with food.
BY having the trough divided into
compartments, as represented, a
whole poultry ration such as grain,
corn, meal, grit, water lin cans or
drinking fountains), broken oyster
shells and so on, can be very nicely
stored there. And thus it is that fowls
can enjoy the luxuries of lovely table
constantly, for not one of them, try
as it may, can get on top with its feet
to pollute the contents. The fact is,
the birds can only insert their heads
at the sides and ends, and simply eat
not peck one another, rem ember, as
in the case of an open dish, since the
space is too limited for them to move
their heads about so as to execute any
pugilistic maneuvers. Hence all may
come and eat in peace, and that to
their hearts content, there being
never once stable jar. "-Frcderick

POULTRY DISEASES.
They Are More Easily Bxtermfnated
Than the Diseases Affecting
Other Kinds of Stock.

It is probably easier to exterminate
poultry diseases than the diseases that
affect any other kind of stock. This
is because poultry can be kept iso-
lated. Horses are constantly meeting
and coming into the vicinity of other
horses. Cattle run in adjoining pas
lures. Hogs are transported from
place to place and are great roamers
in their pastures. But fowls may be
kept practically isolated. 1t is even
not common for hens on one farm to
mingle with those of the next.
We believe that with proper man.
agement the poultry diseases may be
practically exterminated. Have the
feed right and then keep all things
scrupulously clean. Let in the sun
and keep the dust box full of good
dust. Give fresh water every day.
These will mean that the hens will be
free from disease. Were these things
observed universally there is no doubt
that some, if not all, of our ontagious
diseases among poultry must soon die
out. Where a flock has a certain dis.
ease the fowls could be allowed to die
or be killed and the place where they
had been kept used for keeping fowls
no more for at least year. 1t is our
observation that there are many iocks
where disease is practically unknown.
A good many poultrymen know moth
ing of the cholera except what they
read in the papers. Clean up and ex.
terminate the diseases.-Farmers'R Re-
