The Snip) us Apple*.
A Pennsylvania farmer says: We
are told without cessation how whole¬
some apples are for human beings.
But what is good for a person cannot
be bad for a horse, cow, sheep or pig.
If a few ripe apples aid digestion in
one case they must in another. Let a
person try a horse or a cow with half a
peck of good ripe apples and mark the
effect I have done it. My cows
have had for years three half pecks oi
good apples daily with manifest ad
vantage to the yiell of milk and but
ter and to their own great delight.
The pleased avidity with which cows
take a mess of apples is aione pleas¬
ure enough to repay the labor of pick¬
ing them, and the value received is
equal to the usual price received foi
the best, while second-class fruit is
not objected to by the animals. I chop
the apples in a large feeding box with
a sharp spade, sprinkle the meal upon
them, and give each cow a heaping
shovelful. Apple pomace is also a
welcome to all the animals, though
not nearly so nutritious. Most of the
nutritive part of the apple is express¬
ed in the juice. Still it is worth sav¬
ing for feeding. All the fat ot the
fruit is in the skin, and so is the lar¬
ger part of the jelly, and these are
both nutritious, Pomace will keep
several weeks if packed firmly in bar¬
rels or hogsheads, or even large boxes.
It is too good to waste and will pay
any farmer to carry it home from the
cider-mill.
Artificial Incubation.
The subject of artificial ifleubation
seems to be attracting a wide spread
interest. The trouble, failure and dis¬
appointment which are almost the in¬
variable accompaniment of an attempt
to manage a large number of sitting
hens, has turned the attention of those
who are interested in rearing fowls in
large numbers, to the incubator as the
only feasible means of relief. Of the
many "makes” of machines now in the
market, nearly all have been success¬
ful when properly managed. The ad
vantages of artificial incubation over
nature are practically as follows:
First—The breaking of eggs and
trampling of chicks by awkward and
unruly mothers, is avoided.
Second—The young chicks are free
from vermin, and may be much more
easily kept sotiian when running with
hens.
Third—The chickens being hatched
and reared together are much more
easily managed, and being of the fame
age, grow up under equal circum¬
stances, and are consequently larger
and more thrifty than when chicks of
all ages are kept together.
The greatest obstacle in the way of
artificial poultry raising has been the
lack of a brooder which will fill the
oflice of a mother to the young chicks.
The writer favors "bottom heat” as
the most advantageous method of
heating an artificial mother, as the
crowding and smothering of the chicks
is, to a great extent avoided. But
others who have had a large exper¬
ience favor “top heat,” so that the
superiority of either method is a
mooted question. Certain it is that,
while we have perfect artificial
hatchers, the perfect brooder is a thing
of the future .—Ohio Poultry Journal

Unlimited rang3 is not absolutely
necessary. The advantage of range is
in the variety of insect, green and seen
food which the fields, meadows and
orchards afford. Fowls will thrive
and lay well if they have ent of a
room to walk about, scratch in the
fresh earth and pick the tender grass
and vegetables that grow on their
runs.
Fowls confined to houses or small
yards require more care and attention
than if they have their liberty. In re
stricted places the ground soon be
comes tainted and sour from their
droppings. Fowls in good health are
always busy searching for something

Garget is in.iammation of the udder.
It is caused in several ways: By in

constitutional tendency. In fact any
thing that may disturb the health of
the cow in any way will be apt to pro
duce this disorder of the uduer as we. 1
as any direct injury to the organ. It
appears by a hardness and swelling of
the udder, or by thickness or stnnginess
of the milk, or by a suspension of the
secretion. If it is not remedied at
once the inflammation will almost
certainly turn to purulent degenera
t j on 0 f tbe gi andg and an a bcess form
j which contains pus. While it lasts
; [ b e cow is feverish and suffers great
pa j n f rom the weight of the udder
and its extreme tenderness. The treat- ;
ment should consist of the use of a
cooling laxative, the best being Epsom
sa ts in doses of one pound, repeated
the second day after if necessary, j
The udder should be fomented with
hut water or a hot infusion of hops, |
and if it is very hard and hot the hops
may be applied as a poultice, support
ed by bands around the cow over the
back and between the thighs so as to
confine the hot vapor. The udder is
then gently rubbed and kneaded with
the hand and milked dry. If the ,
milk is thick and will not come out,
a pint of solution of carbonate of
soda or saleratus in warm water :
may be injected into the teats with a
syringe, and then milked out; this will
dissolve the curdled milk and relieve
the udder from the pressure and
irritation of it. After the rubbing
the udder is dressed with camphorated
soap liniment diluted with an equal
part of ether. This should be done
twiceaday. The cow s feed should be
light, bran and linseed gruel; cut roots
and good hay may be given, but no
corn meal and especially cotton-seed
meal, which, being a highly concen
trated food, is more apt to cause garget
than anything else in any well regu
lated dairy.— Farm, Field and Stock

Household Hints.
Put soda in sour fruit for pies and
they will require less sugar.
After paring fruit drop it in cold
water to prevent it changing color.
A little sulphate of potassa added
to preserves prevents fermentation.
When sauce boils from the side of
the pan the flour or corn starch is
done.
Glaze the bottom crust of fruit pies
with white of egg, and they will not
be soggy.
Hecipes.
Hominy with Cream .—Wash the
hominy thoroughly in one or two
waters, then cover it with twice its
depth of cold water, and let it come
to a boil slowly. If it be the large
hominy simmer six hours; if the
small hominy simmer two hours.
When the water evaporates, add hot
water; when done it may be eaten
with cream, or allowed to become cold
and warmed up in the frying pan,
using a little butter to prevent burn¬
ing
Dressing for Sliced Tomatoes.—
Beat two eggs well together, add one
teaspoonful sugar, one-fourth of a tea
spoonful of salt, the same of prepared
mustard, one tablespoouful of sweet
cream and three tablespoonfuls of
vinegar. Place the bowl containing
it in a basin of boiling wafer and .-tir
till about the thickness of cream. It
will take about five minutes if the
bowl is thick and the water boils at
the time. Cool and use as needed.
. Apple Pudding.—Cut good, tart
cooking apples into slices, after they
are peeled and cored, and lay them in a

was not with the use
of the apparently useless ropes and
wooden bars, which seem to be only
in the wav of the men would say at
once that'the unballasted little loats
would go over before the first quarter
mile was finished,
On they slide down the river, gath
ering increased momentum with each
moment. Still their progress is corn
paratively slow, there being but l
breath of air. The crews all sit star¬
ing at the sail and at the river behind,
Suddenly the ruffling of the water tells
of the coming of a puff of wind. The
crew of each “hiker” scramble over to
the windward side and perch them
selves on the gunwales with the bars
of wood in their hands. Perhaps the
w ind blows steadily—perhaps it strikes
them in a gush, If the former, then
the men sit where they are, balancing
the craft simply by their being all on
one side. But if, especially while tack
ing, the "hiker’s ” spread of canvass
above proves too much for her and she
plunges over, the Captain yells franti
cally ’hike over.’
In an instant the ropes arestretched
taut and the wooden bars disappears
overboard into the water, followed by
the men. Only their legs remain in
the boat as they sit on the transverse
bars and hold on to the ropes. Every
other wave surges up to their necks,
and often a dip to the windward sub
merges them completely, with the
exception of their legs, which flourish
wildly up over the sides of the boat,
but when they reappear again the
craft lias been saved from capsizing
by this sudden hanging out of from
800 to 1,000 pounds on the windward
side. Sometimes an entire tack across
the river Is made with the crew “hik¬
ing out” in this manner.
Sometimes, as they come about, in
spite of their efforts, the wind proves
too strong for them and the side they
are sitting over is raised high up into
the air. Then for a few brief seconds
every nerve is strained as they pull on
the ropes and hang, almost head down
w r ard over the side. They may suc
ceef i and keep the boat from capsizing,
or they may all execute a grand flying
leiip as the “ hiker ” g°es over and they
are thrown forward into the sail,
Ibis, however, happens only when
there is an unusually strong wind or
when bad management is slow in
"coming about” at the wrong time,
And, even if they do capsize, there is
no harm done. Of course, they are
out of the race, but that is all. The
tugs and steamers that follow pick
them up and tow the half submerged
boat back home again, where she is
righted and bailed out
On many of the races at least ten
men are taken in each boat. They
serve to keep her steady as long as the
breeze is too stiff or the cruise is against
the wind. But if, after the buoy is
rounded and the wind dies away, the
captain glances significantly at one
of the crew, the yachtman grins, pulls
off his boots, and drops overboard,
Perhaps he is picked up, perhaps he is
not noticed in the excitement of the

It is no love of or keen

turn to its cote, out its love of home. It
is this instinct that makes it fly with un
tiring wing for hours and hours, to rest
at last in familiar places 1 and among °
fr'end- menus.
Among the Romans, and the Asiatics
before them, it was the custom to tie
letters around the leg or foot, and many
a letter from distant friend and absent
father, or lover, was carried in this way.
Travelers going from Rome, in olden
times, or soldiers departing for distant
wars, frequently carried pigeons, releas
ing them at intervals, that they might
be the bearers of good tidings to the
folks at home. Tving the message
around the neck or wing had been tried,
but both were round to impede the bird’s
flight. At present, when they are used,
the message is tied around the leg, high
up, where it does not interfere at all.
Ill in Ln England lana and and France t ranee old old writers writers
speak of tne frequent use of these birds,
both for private correspondence as well as
public, especially in time of war, when
cities were besieged and there were no
other available means. At such times
the attacking party kept a large stock of
falcons, and it was the duty of the fal
coners pigeons. to keep As a sharp lookout for carrier
soon as one would be ob
served the falcons were let go, and away
they rushed in hot pursuit. It is described
as intensely interest ng to sec both pur
suer and pursued cleaving the air like ar
rows; other one his flying for his game and the
for life. The falcons frequently
proved victorious, and would bring the
dead dove back with information of
great value.
To circumvent this the besieged some¬
times let fly five or six birds at a time,
which bore no message, and when the
falcons were either engaged with these
or too tired to fly fast, another bearing
the letter « ould be let go, and run the
gauntlet with ease.
During the siege of Paris this was a
very common the way letters of which bearing news, and
many were reached out¬
side friends and military leaders far be¬
yond the walls. Sharpshooters were on
the lookout for them continually, but as
a usual thing were of no avail. It was
in this way that much news reached other
countries of the condition within the city.
The French, not wishing to encumber
the pigeons any more than necessary, in
order that they might enhance the
chances of their getting through all right,
made very small micro-photographs of
newspapers, letters and military orders,
the entire budget weighing but a few
grains.
The only use they are put to at present
is iii flying matches. Birds belonging to
different owners are kept long enough in
the same dove-cote to conceive an attach¬
ment for if, and then taken a long dis¬
tance away. At this ‘‘pigeon meet”
books are kept with a description of each
bird entered and who it is owned by.

are apt to go astray if allowed to fly by
night. Large sums change hands yearly
