HUMAN FLESH FOR SALE.

A private letter, dated Chefoo the 18th
inst, says that the famine at Hsianfu
is reported as very severe, human flesh
selling at $50 cash a catty. The dis
tress in the south of Shansi is also very
great. OF the money brought by Mr..
Allen of Shanghai, it was decided (says
the N. G. Daily News) to send tbs. 49,
600 by Major Pereira and Messrs Dun
can and Smith to the south of Shansi,
where Mr., Tjader is. and to Shensi.
There were isolated cases of want in
other districts but mostly in mountain
villages difficult of access, and they

The c. I, NJ. party were leaving Ping
yao for the south on the 9Th inst. The
writer of the letter says that he had
received a copy of a proclamation by
the Governor of Shansi in which, after
stating the famine news, he mentions
that Drs. Atwood and Edwards have re-
ceived from the U. S. A. a large sum
of money (the Christian Herald fund.-
which they are impartially distributing
to Christians and outsiders, which is
highly praised. Reference is also made
to the work of DR.. Timothy Richard

William Gabriel, a poultry raiser OF
Peoria county, Illinois. tells the Farm
ers' Review that he gets good results
feeding cracklings 70 his mature
fowls. Said cracklings are the pressed
cakes produced In the extracting Of
lard from the fat OF hogs. It is pound
I'd or ground up and makes 3 most OK
cellent feed for the production Of eggs
II is not, however, suitable for feeding
to young chicks, as II il too rich and
causes securing. In an exhibit OF
poultry at Peoria he showed mature
Brown Leghorn hens that we're only
six months old. A good deal Of this
earliness OF maturity was due 70 the
feeding Of craeklings after the birds
had reached enough growth to make It
possible for them to easily digest that
kind Of food.
Mr. Gabriel has had some experience
in fighting gapes. He says he has
frequently relieved the chicks Of the
parasites by means OF a mixture Of
carbOlic acid and water. The mixture
Is applied by means Of a feather from
the wing Of rooster. He dips the
end Of the feather in the carbolated
water, pushes it down the throat Of a
chick. gives It a few twirls and with
draws It. He claims to have been uni
formly successful with this method.
He finds the Brown Leghorns best
adapted to his circumstances. and Is
willing that some other fellow have
the trouble Of caring for more than
one breed. He Is thus enabled to cen
ter his attention on one line OF breed
ing. Asked as to his success IN dis
posing Of Leghorn eggs, he replied
that the demand was always equal TO
the supply, and that no one found
fault because the eggs we're slightly
smaller than those laid by the heavier
breeds.

At an exhibit OF butter IN Mime
sofa It was demonstrated quite clear
ly that the curdy taste In rome butter
was due to the incarceration OF the
cream, especially when the cream IS
separated from the milk BY the cen
trifugal separators. Hence the great
er necessity Of aerating milk by q
old process Of pan setting. In the
old days the cream rose to the top
Of the milk and was there exposed to
the air fol several hours before being
removed. That gave time for all the
animal odor to escape When that
same cream was made into butter
there was no remnant OF the animal
odor that had been previously In the
milk. BY the new way Of separating
the cream from the milk there Is no
raCural process OF aeration, as the
cream Is separated and placed IN a
closed can Immediately after milking
Cream Is much more retentiye Of
animal odor than is the skimmllk.
and Il Is harder to take the odor
from the cream when It Is by itself

follows that the aeratlon should be
that OF the whole milk. the cream

ORCHID

Probably very few people have any

The strange beauty Of the flowers and
the high prices which they bring are

fatal and that the price is the reward
