FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Fowls.
Chickens crowded together become
hot. They catch cold. They have roup.
Sick fowls communicate disease to others.
A very sick fowl should at once be sacri
ficed, or it will sacrifice the rest. Kill it.
A sick fowl is not fit to eat. Crack
bones for fowls; they will strive to get
the marrow, and will thus have some ex
ercise. Give them boiled scraps of all
kinds, with oats or meal in the mess.
Give them mixed feed. They will turn
from oats to corn and from corn to oats.
Sand is not as good as dust or ashes for
hen baths. Give them old plaster,
cracked oyster shells which have been
burned—anything with lime in it, and
apart from the dust bath. Do not let
them go thirsty. Put a little iron rust
in their water. We have used the tinc
ture of iron in small quantities. White
wash their houses, and when they are
out sunning themselves some fine day
fumigate the house with tobacco and
sulphur burned on an old tin pan while
the doors and windows are shut. Venti
late afterward, and before the fowls go
back. Scrape the perches with an old
knife or scythe, and wash them with
kerosene to kill insects. Better still,
have seasoned poles, backed and readv
to fit into the rests for perches. Make
a hole in each end for a nail to
go into so as to clasp them
and keep them from rolling. After bark
ing rasp the perches, so as to give the
fowls a grip. Rub these perches with
kerosene oil. Change these perches oc
casionally during the winter. In using
carbolic acid for disinfectants or insect
killers do not mix it with whitewash.
The fowls may peck the whitewash for
the lime, to use in their systems for
shells, and thus poison themselves with
the carbolic acid inwardly. Give them
lime in some shape, or they will eat their
feathers. We have used lime in water.
The lime settles and the water contains
all it can hold. This lime water is the
same that is used for scalds and burns.
It is sometimes taken by people for bad
stomachs. For your own stomach's use
get it of a druggist. For your hens’
stomachs and egg-shells, make it your
self. At the same time old plaster is the
best egg-shell maker for hen’s eating that
we have used. It is easier than burnt
and cracked oyster shells. Bone meal is
very good. With lime, give hens meat.
It pays. We give meat every other day.
We buy it at the butcher’s. It is better
to buy meat for hens than for dogs. We
feed bone meal in milk. What salt we
give them is nut sparingly into their
cooked feed. Never feed it raw. What
ever people may say, a superabundance
of salt kills; but some is needed. We
have given it. in thick milk. Birds that
eat their own feathers require lime and a
little salt in their food.— New York Her
ald.
Tlie True Economy of Manure.
The tine economy of manure demands
that the farmer adapt manure to the
crops. He may be acquainted with the
composition of a crop, and the composi
tion as well of the soil on which it is to
be grown, and yet be ignorant of the
true economy of manure. He must also
be acquainted with the special character
of the crop. In a word, it is not only
the mateiials required to form a crop,but
the power of the crop to assimilate these
materials, which should influence the
farmer in the application of fertilizers.
Farmers are constantly advised to
manure their land with all the constitu
ents required by the crop—a proceeding
quite unnecessary in most cases.
AS hen land is in a fertile condition the
total amount of plant food available for
crops is very considerable, and luxuriant
growth may be obtained by supplement
ing the stores of the soil with the few
special elements of food which the crop
to be grown has most difficulty in ob
taining. For instance, in a majority of
cases a dressing of nitrate of sodium and
superphosphate will insure a full crop of
wheat, barley or oats, and in many cases
nitrate of sodium alone will prove very
effective. These cereal crops generally
find the supply of nitrates in the soil
insufficient for their perfect growth, and
the supply of phosphates is usually more
or less inadequate, but in most instances
they are able to obtain a sufficient amount
of [«)tash and other essential elements of
food. Thus by supplying one or two
constituents of the crops the farmer may
obtain a nne yield. On the same princi
ple nitrate of sodium employed alone will,
in most cases, produce a large crop of
mangels; superphosphate alone, a large
crop of turnips, while potassium salts'
alone may prove effective with pasture
amFclovers.
Long continued experiments at Roth
amsted, England, make it appear that
this special manuring for each crop is no
strain on the capabilities of the soil if a
rotation of crops be followed. If super
phosphate is applied for the turnips, pot
ash for the seeds and a nitrogenous ma
nure for the cereal crops the more impor
tant elements of plant food contained in
the soil will not be diminished at the end
of the rotation.
In this country progressive farmers
practise special manuring as a supplement
to the general manuring by farm-yard
manure. When farms are thus enriched
scientists suggest and experiment appears
to advise that farm-yard manure be ap
plied to those crops which stand most in
need of general manuring, and the artifi
cial fertilizers to other crops demanding
only one or two elements not plentiful in
the soil. — New York World.
Regularity in Feeding.
It is a fact which does not seem to be
either known or clearly understood by
many of our breeders and farmers that
regularity, as to the time and quantity,
in feeding has much to do in determining
the question of profit and loss, and that
irregularity as to the time of feeding and
the number of daily feeds have more to
do with producing loss than a variation
in the quantity of the food. Take a pen
of pigs, for instance, and feed them for
a week or two at, say, 6 a. m. and 6 p. m.,
with a noon feed at 12 m., and then
feed irregularly one day three times,
another day twice, occasionally only
once and at irregular hours, and see how
soon the pigs will show the neglect,
even though the same amount of food
be given each day that was formerly
supplied. Animals which are fed at
regular intervals, and in liberal quantity,
will rest content between feeding times,
but will be on hand and expectant at
the feeding hour. If not fed regularly,
they are generally restless and discon
tented at all times, and the worry they
thus take prevents the animals from gain
ing that weight and size which liberal
feeding would otherwise produce. The
discomfiture produced even by persons
when obliged to have their meals irreg
ularly, even though they always have at
such times plenty to eat, will give some
idea what will result from irregularity
in feeding fattening, growing animals.

The short horn cattle of the West are

Large, coarse hogs are no longer fa

One toad on a farm destroys more in

The Maryland Farmer says that the
base of the horns and the inaidea of the
ears of a cow being a good golden yellow
she is sure to be a good butter cow.
Do not permit farm hands to smoke in
the barn or to lay down a lighted pipe
there. Colonel Colman says that most
farm fires occur in winter. He keeps a
pail of very salt water on every house
floor.
In selecting fruit trees see that the
bark is smooth and healthy; that they
have entirely shed their leaves and have
plenty of small, fibrous roots. A tree
with leaves remaining on it after frost
sets is unhealthy.
A writer in Gardening lUu»trated says
that if young shoots of the tomato are
taken off and propagated like bedding
plants, they will make a less rampant
growth than seedlings, and be more fruit
ful. Cuttings prove best for pot culture;
they are then to be kept near the glass
with a temperature of about fifty degrees.
They will make fine plants by spring.
A farmer who last spring rolled his
seed potatoes in flour of sulphur had
smooth, healthy tubers, entirely free
from scab or rot, while all his neighbors’
crops that had not received this treat
ment were badly affected by both. Gyp
sum, which is sulphate of lime, has been
tried, but has failed to save the crop, or
even to improve its quality, though it
generally increases the quantity.
Dr. Sturtevant’s experiments indicate
that there is a great difference in the re
sults of the same treatment with different
varieties af corn. This serves to explain
many wide discrepancies in the conclu
sions of fanners with regard to this crop.
Probably the methods of cultivation pop
ular in any particular section are more
nearly based on correct views of the re
quirements ef the plan t as grown there
than is generally supposed.
When cabbages begin to head they
present such a mass of leaves that it is
very difficult to destroy the worm that
infests them, at one application. At
this stage, also, it is unsafe to use any
thing of a poisonous nature. Paris
green, which is sometimes recommended
tor cabbages, should never be applied
except when the plants are very small, so
that it will certainly all be washed off
the leaves before harvesting.
The quantity of food required to keep
a hen in good working condition, is about
four ounces of corn or its equivalent of
other food per day. This is a quarter of
a pint. Corn alone will not make eggs,
but wheat will, and the hens which run
around a barn and have the run of the
wheat-mows are those which produce the
eggs. A glass house and all the acces
sories of broken shells, dust baths, etc.,
will not help in the production of eggs.
They are good in their way, but the fowls
need abundant exercise and nothing
more than reasonable feeding. It is bet”
ter to compel the fowls t,o take exercise
by scattering their feed and by feeding
them moderately late in the morning,
giving the principle meal late in the af- I
ternoon. A variety of food is good, but
too much is worse than a moderate lean
ing the other way. Exercise, however, i
is indispensable.

Where Has the. Buffalo Gone?
A Winnipeg (Manitoba) correspondent
of the Montreal Globe says: “In early
times the buffalo was seen as far east as
j the Atlantic coast, but in recent years he
has seldom been met east of the Missis
i sippi river, and he is still moving west
, ward, even across the Rocky mountains.
1 I was told by an old settler that whence
■ came here fifty years ago the buffalo
would come right up to the stockades
around the forts on the Red river to
graze, and the half-breeds found it more
profitable to hunt them than to farm. To
give an idea of the hunting bands that
went out on the plains every summer, the
brigade that left the settlement in 1840
consisted of 1,210 carts, 655 cart horses,
580 draught oxen, 483 saddle-horses for
the hunt, 1,249 butcher-knives, 740 flint
lock guns, 120 gallons of powder, 1,300
pounds of balls, 6,240 gunnints, and the
number of persons in the band
amounted to 1,630 souls, men,
women and children. But a
buffalo is rarely seen in the Canadian
Northwest now. Only a few stragglers
have been met with in the far West this
cason. The railroad has driven thefa
away forever. They have not gone north,
as the limit of their natural habitation is
sixty north latitude on this continent,
but southwest. There are some pecul
iarities in the habits of the buffalo. He
is, perhaps, the only animal that turns
his head to the storm, his forequarters
being protected with long, shaggy hair,
which also gives him a formidable ap
pearanee, and especially in the spring
when he sheds the hair on the rest of his
body. A very old one is hard to find
anywhere, as the young bucks drive the
old bulls out of the herd, and they wan
der about the prairie and soon get killed.
If one or two should be seen alone they
may be put down as outcasts.
A wise and good man will turn exam
ples of all sorts to his own advantage.
The good ho will make his patterns and
strive to equal or excel them. The bad
he will by all means avoid. «

BTBAVGB STOBT OT A FXBCB OF
STATU ABT.
The Sculptor'* model a. Beautiful
Cirl in the Coils of a Boa Cons trio
tor Ten Feet Lengt
Theodore Tilton writes thus to the
New York Znrfc/xfndejg regarding Robert
Barrett Browning’s statue of Dryope and
Apollo: The history of the making of
this statue —in other words how the
strange work was daily carried on—is so
interesting that it deserves to be told.
The artist, for the execution of his design,
needed, of course, two models—first a
strong but lissome woman, capable of
gracefully supporting the forty or fifty
pounds weight of the huge creature who
was to hang upon her limbs and side;
next, a gigantic but tractable boa con
strictor, nearly twice the length of the
girl s . frame. Mr. Browning was
unwilling to invent either his
damsel or his python; he demanded both
from nature. His Dryope he found in an
Italian girl of much beauty, both of face
and form, and with a skin so lovely that
since ho cannot portray it in sculpture
be will shortly essay it on canvas. His
python came to him by a happy gift of
fortune. A year ago, when the statue
was begun, there happened to be in Paris
a woman who by vocation was a snake
charmer, and who had in her possession
a genuine spotted boa from Senegal, ten
feet in length. This great serpent had,
by various moral and other influences,
been disciplined into subordination and
good behavior. Mr. Browning intro
duced the snake-charmer and the charmed
snake into his studio, greatly to the
terror of his neighbors in the Rue Notre
Dame des Champs. His Italian Dryope
was at first badly frightened; yet on
repeatedly witnessing the other woman’s
power over the willing reptile, she
at last permitted the symbolic Apollo
to coil himself about her person. Day
by day, for several days, she endured
this ordeal, until what was at first an
ordeal became at last an exhilaration.
The artist then purchased the snake, dis
missed the snake-charmer, and, having
meanwhile learned the simple art of
snake-charming, (which, he says, is
hardly an art at all), had no difficulty in
making an advantageous use of the rep
tile as a serviceable model. In fact, the
python, of his own subtile accord, when
placed at the feet of the girl as she stood
posed, would slowly climb up her body
and conveniently stop when his head was
near her lips. The pleasant warmth of
her breath comforted his coldness and
induced him to keep his head usually in
the very position which the artist’s design
required. As the snake found this living
atmosphere more genial and agreeable
than his inanimate blanket, he would
often hang motionless upon the brave
girl and bask in her breath for minutes at
a time, or so long as she could bear his
great weight without fatigue. Mean
while the busy artist was observing the
contented serpent and faithfully record
ing every snake curve and fold. "
The closing scene in this python’s bio
graphy was an event so sudden and sor
rowful that it deserves to be mournfully
chronicled. \\ hen the boa was no longer
needed by the sculptor as a model, the
picturesque creature was still left in the
studio as a distinguished guest, having
a big box all to himself. One day he
was mortally bruised by the accidental
failing of the lid of the box upon his
neck while his head was hanging over
the edge. His fate was almost a death
by the guillotine. He lived a few days
and died. The girl had meanwhile be
come so attached to the snake that,
when he breathed his last, she shed tears.
What more could Dryope herself have
done if Apollo could have known mor
tality ?
Adulteration in Butter.
When oleomargarine was first brought
lutv puuuu nonce cuere was a good deal
of opposition to its introduction, as af
fording the ready means of deceiving buy
ers, no matter how much better it might
be than poor butter, how entirely harm
less, and how thoroughly cleanly were the
methods of its manufacture. Laws were
therefore passed in several of the States
prohibiting its manufacture and sale, only
as all the packages should be distinctly
branded with flic name “oleomargarine. "■
The fanners and dairymen were most
anxious for this legislation. But since
these laws were passed there has sprung
up a large business in what is called “but
terine,” which usually consists of a little
good creamery butter and an admixture i
of oleomargarine oil and neutral lard. The !
latter is simply lard with all taste re- :
moved, wnich increases its cost only about
a cent a pound; but the butterine thus !
made is hardly distinguishable by the best
judges from a fine creamery butter, under
which designation a great deal of it is
now coming to market. The winter is i
the best season for palming off this adul- I
teration, as it does not keep as hard as ;
genuine butter in the warm weather.—

A Presidential Cabinet Album.
The bureau of printing and engraving
at Washington has completed its addi
tion to the cabinet album for the present :
administration. It is probably not gen- I
erally known that such an album exists.
It is a custom for the bureau to prepare I
fine steel engravings of each President <
and his cabinet. These entrravings are I
in the highest style of the art, and when i
bound in corresponding style make a I
handsome and unique volume. The i
book thus made contains the portraits of
each President and his cabinet from '
Washington down, also views of the
White House, capitol, etc. Only a suffi
cient number of copies are made to pre
sent the President and members of his
cabinet with one each, and retain one
copy at the bureau of printing and en
graving. The volume is a very interest
ing one, and, of course, quite rare, for al
though there have been twenty-one
Presidents and 212 cabinet officers since
the beginning of Presidents and cabinets
in 1789, the number is very small in a
nation of 50,000,000, and the habit of
printing these books only dates back
half that time.

had sold many bottles of it to bis customers
in Worcester, and they all speak’of it in the

Mr George A. Burdett, No. 165 Front
street, Worcester, Mass., has just sent us the
following, directly to the point:
“Beirtg afflicted with ailments to which all
humanity is subject sooner or later, I read
carefully the advertisement regarding the
remarkable curative powers of Hunt’s Rem
edy, and as it seemed to apply to my case ex
actly, I purchased a bottle of the medicine at
Jannery s drug store in this city, and hav
ing used it with most beneficial results in
my own cas<>, my wife and son also com
menced its use, and it has most decidedly
improved their health, and we shall continue
its use in our family under such favorable
results.”
, r „ Evidence?'
Mr. George IV. Holcomb, druggist, 129 and
131 Congress street, Troy, N. Y., writes
April 7, 1883:
“I am constantly selling Hunt’s Remedy for
diseases of the kidneys, liver, bladder, and
urinary organs, to my trade and friends, and
find that it gives general satisfaction to all
who use it.”
