Newspaper Page TextFARM AND HOUSE. TOPICS OP INTEREST TO THE FARMER AND HOI SF WIFE. Rim* Id Pnaltrr Cnliarr. Everyone interested in poultry culture, and especially in muog and breeding thorough-bred fowl*, is acquainted with the name of I. K. Felch, of Natick. Mas anebuaetta. a apecialiat in poultry-breed tag, and a frequent contributor to agri cultural papera on that subject. Hr. Fetch has just written a book which, says the New York Obeorwr, comes nearer being a oomphi manual on the subject of poultry-raising than any work we have seen. It ia the result of long and uc caassful experience in the buaineaa and may be relied upon as accurate and trust worthy. We make a few extracts for the benefit of our readers. In regard to roosts and nesting-places, Mr. Felch says: ‘‘Avoid all permanent or box-made nests, which heroine harbors for lice. Avoid alts- the old plan of an inclined plane for roosts, for all the fowls w.ll strive to oc cupy the highest perch, and many a fight and fall will be the rcault, which will vastly increise the Ust of casualties, while thftflow and level plan saves m.ujy from lameness and internal in jury; for while a hen will walk up to her perch, if she has the chance else will invariably fly down. The floor of the house should be kept covered three to lour inches deep with a coarse-fine gravelyciot so fine as to be called sand, yet having a I dam mixture in it. This will deodorize all the filth and steneh, he ids making a loose and soft substance to alight upon in descending from the roost*. N.stsso low and easy of access that a fowl can stand upon the floor and reach tue egg are conducive to egg eating. If you have only a village lot, and are limited in space, and the flock has from necessity to bo confined upon the least no sible amount of ground, e*:h house ana shed should have two yards, that one may be sowed with oats while the fowls occupy the other—and when the oats are four to five inches high, let the flock occupy this yard while the other is treated in like manner, thus furni hing the raw vegetable food so necessary to them. F elide, this treat ment keeps the yard clean and sweet. These fowls, so yardud, will ent all, even out of the ground, giving ’Bern a needed exercise. ” On ho subject of feed for youug chicks che author aays: "The first meal for cbi deens after being taken from the neat should be boiled eggs, chopped fine, dulls and all, also baked corn cake or execlsior meat cake ciumblcd into scaldud milk. No fluid as drink but the ecalded milk. After the first twenty four hours, after their gizzards have be come filled with egg-shell, gravel, etc., let their meal in tho early morning be ex celsior meal, bread and scalded milk; at 10 o'clock granulated corn; at 2 o’clock the excelsior, bread and milk, and at <i o’clock canary seed, millet seed, and i granulated corn. This 11 the l.en l.e i confined and the chickens have their liberty to find grass and insect food. Thus feed till two weeks old, when it will be found that few or any deaths will have occurred, and the chickens started well (for rapid and vigorous growth.’’ Farm and Garden Notes. Never feed cornstalk* uncut. Evon for manure making cutting i* far better. Drou, sprinkled with pepper and mixod with milk, i excellent food occasionally for laying hens. Let no animal be placed where it will bo helnleasly threatened by a stronger one with no chance of escape. An elm transplanted is Raid to make no more wood in twelve or fifteen ycara than one in mother soil will in ten years. A lamb will begin to eat when it is fen day* to two woeka old. There is nothing better for them than whole oats. If a horn coughs, dampen his hay, wet his mixed feed, keep him out of a draft, efter exercise blanket him, and give him a little ginger iu his feed. You want a dozen or two of early pul let*, so as to havo them commence lsyiug next fall. Early pullets will pay you well for ail the trouble of raising them. When cows gnaw boards give them charcoal mixed in the meal and ground bone. They should also have roots and a sprinkling of wood ashes on them. If, from improper care or feeding, or from some unavoidable cause, your horse tout of condition, you should doss him with a little medicine and much common ®en*e, Cattle have four stomachs; the barn yard fowl two, the crop and gizzard. Gravel acts in the pi ice of teeth in fowls. This serves to help grind down the food in the gizzard. Keep them supplied. The sharper the gravel the better. The man who drugs his horse to maki his hair sleek and ■ ‘shiny” shows little sense. The be t means to keep the coat glossy is careful and daily grooming, j This, with plenty of oats and water and an occasional bran mash, is all the horse coeds when in health. The arseaio i groom should be discharged. To save egja for hatching put them in a box of oats, small end downward, and in a place of even temperature, and they must not freeze nor be kept too warm. Padded carefully they will keep well for ouite a length of time, apd will hatch when two weeks old, but the fresher they are when placed under the hens the better. It is Vest to set cut the most vigorous ' strawlerry plants, as a dry season will in jure them. Old plants are not good, and may bo known by the dark-colored roots that adhere to them. If it becomes nec essary to use old plants break off the black roots with the stem to which they *ay be attached. Young plants have white, fresh-looking roots. Cows give bloody milk on account of i inflammation of the udder. The infiam- , nation may be caused bv cold, bruises, over-heating or over-feeding. The treat mant of the cow should be according to the circumstances. Bathing the udder frequently with hot wuter, or better vet, hot vinegar, is always good. If the udder has been over stimulated, feed less. In cleaning ivies, oleanders and like plants that are subject to scale insects, the means employed for destroying the same are frequently insufficient to destroy the young broods, so small as to escape 1 detection. To prevent such vexatious i happenings, use water in washing plants of nearly 120 degrees of heat, and by the addition of tobacco juice to give it a color like weak tea, or else whale oil aoap or common soap to create suds freely Such a liquid starts up the voung and old insects alike. The washingthorough! v done, then wait a little, after which drench off the strong liquid with clean water. Household Hints. TsunutD Brass axp Cor ran.—To brighten tarnished brass and copper, clean the brass by warming it and dip ping ia water charged witu washing sods, then into elaar water to remove the grease Next dip Uia a bath of one I part by measure of sulphuric acid, one j part sal ammoniac, two part* nitric arid i and four parts water. Dip for a moment, than dip in clear water and dry in hot i sawdust. How to PiiMlvt Milk. -Pour, the I milk into s bottle and place the vessel | up to its neck in a aaucepinfol of water, which is then to be put on the fire and allowed to boil for a quarter of an hour. The battle is now to be removed from the water and carefully closed with a good and tight-fitting cork, so as to render it as air-tight as possible. Milk whieb hn been preserved by this process has beer keep for more than a year without turn ing sour. Milk may also be preserved by putting a tablcspoonful of norserad iah, scraped in shreds, into a panful of milk. When milk thus treated is kept in a cool place it will be found to keep good for several days, even In hot weather.— UousehoVl Quite. An luroETAirr C aition. — An import ant caution is needed in the use of oil stoves. As recently improved, they are quite free from disagreeable odors. But nearly all burning implies the consump tion of the oxygen of tne air and replacing it with carbonic scid, carbonic oxide, nitrogen, etc. An oil stove or lamp in a room is constantly depriving the air of ita oxygen, and it with the del eterious gases Darned. In summer, with tin doors ontT windows ajar, the con tinued renewal of the atmosphere of the room by admixture of fresh uir from without, renders the use of qiipelets oil stoves and lamps quit: harmless. But in close rooms, in cold weather, it is important to have over an oil stove, and over every large lamp, a hood or inverted funnel, open ing at its top into a pipe—a stove-pipe or a tin tube—to convey the rising vitiated air to a chimney or other outlet, and thus fresh air be admitted from some source to replace that carried away. If the escape pipe cannot be supplied, be sure to have full, free ventilation, es pecially in small rooms. An ordinary lamp probably consumes as much air as three giowu persons do in breathing; a large one much more: while a tour burner oil stove jvill use as much air (or oxygen) as thirty or forty persons breath ing in the same room. Therefore, al ways look after fresh air by using an escape pipe or ventilator; better provide both.— Prairie Farmer. Gambling in New York. On both sides of Ann street, Park place, on Nassau street and Park row gambling bouses still flourish, says a New York letter to the St. Louis Republican. The greatest down-town game of nil, however, is at 8 Barclay, in which com bination concern old Dancer, who died very rich a short time since, was the principal partner. The play here ranges very high and those who go there arc technically known as high “rollers." If you may believe tho dealer, they ure all colonels, judges, counselors or scuutors. The chips of this house range from fifty cents to s.i each and there is practically tto “limit." Home timo ago there was the perennial scare among the gamblers nud every man-jack of them moved ovar to Jersey, except the doalers at No. 8. It is a house of great, influence and more than one close election in New York city has been decided by tho “pull" which its owners have with the poli ticians. At tho timo of the Jersey searo a gome was set up iu one of the back rooms of a C'ortlundt street hotel, but tho ordinary guests of the house soon took fright at the constant stream of queer looking visitors going up to the parlors and the proprietor was compelled to forego his unlawful gains. The night games are all uptown, and those, ol course, are of the aristocraqv of the ordor, Pluy in all of them, except those in the Bowery, is for high stakes, and at each a splendid supper, attended by negro waiters, is laid from 10 o’clock to midnight. Tho sideboards of the e palatial cstablishmints, too, are ndmiru nly furnished, all sorts of wines and iquors, except champagne, being dis pensed free and ad libitum. Cigars must bo paid for. The celebrated 818 is unquestionably the best known of tho Broadway houses. John Morrissey and his great rival John C. Hetman, had in ■ terests in this house at dillerent time-. It is exceedingly exclusive, and the stranger will find it impossible to get within its gates. To concludo: I do not believe there is on houo it gambler In New York who will tell you two things. First, faro playing will lead a man to commit! crime sooner and surer than any other form of vice. Drinking, as a curse, is but a child to It. Second, the only way to beat faro is to stay away from it. The mere fact that you on ono side of the table have to do the guessing, while tho dealer acts simply as an nutom&tom, is potent enouph to in sure your downfall iu the end. Faro is like the three daughters of the horse leech. It continually cries, “Give, give, give!" Aud when at last you are “broke,” when you have no more to give, when you have found vourre’.f growing shabbier and shabbier day by day, when you are beset with debts and duns and awake to the startling consciousness that all the time you have been playing you have been neglecting not only yourself, but your family—why, then, you may go to the dealer and whisper, abashed, in his ear. He will say in a cheerful voice: “Why, certainly,” and slide you a “quarter” to go home with. A Strange Disease iu China. A form of hysterical disease or mania among adult males at Chang Chow is ob served. The pationt acquires the im pression that his abdomen is inhabited by some animal, often a rat, whose excur sions cause violent pain. Unheard of efforts are made to expel the intruder, and often the savings of a whole family for a lifetime are wasted on bonzes, sor cerers, doctors and other quacks in hope of obtaining relief for the sufferer. It is reported that in many cases death results from suffocation in the course of a vio lent convulsive paroxysm. The patient leads a double life, marked bv the use of two vo'ces of different lira'll res. Asa rule his disposition alters in correspond ence with the change of voice. Moral ly and mentally he is a different being in the two states. Whatever occurs dimug the period betokened by the unnatural voice is totally forgotten during the nor mal period.— San Franrixv BnlUtin. A Blade of brass. •‘Gather," says Huskin. “a single blade of grass, and examine for a moment, quietly, its narrow, sword-shaped strip of fluted green. Think of it well, an 1 judge whether, of all the gorgeous flow ers that beam in summer air, and of all strong and goodly tree* pleasant to the eye* or good for food, there h • auv by God more highly graced, by man mori) deeply loved, than thst narrow paint of feeble green. Consider what we owe to the meadow gtas*. to the covering of the ground by thit glorious enamel, by the eompanie- of those soft aed ccuatless and peaeefu! spsar*." Ohio public s'hools cot fi) 1)5 ! PS] last yew Mate* (.la** Window*, Do you want a stained glaa. window somewhere ia your bouse; ia Ike hall door, or tho transom over the dining room door that leads into the yard or aide porch, or io the upper *aeh at the beck-perior windw f Of course your beauty-loving soul naves just such an embellishment, but they cost too much money to be indulged io joat at present. But if you are sufli cietilly artistic to really desire it, we are sife in telling you that you are sufficient 1/ artistic (o make one for youraetf at comparatively little outlay of money and some patience. Perhaps the use of the patent glacier window decorations will be geurrally accepted as requiring, the leatt time and patience to obtain the desired end These decorations can now be obtained at almost all bouse decorators. They come in design* of heeds of armor ana saints, in fruit and floral designs, sod in geometric and flowing patterns, and they are capable of numberless combina tions. These decorations are very easily ap plied, the perfectly clean glass is simply moistened' with damp aponge and the decorat ons are smoothly put on. They are warranted not to cracJt, curl up. or to be sffcoted by heat. This is doe way that with moderate coat and very little trouble you may have a pretty window. Fur some time in England, and a very short time here, ladies of artistic in clinations have been doing what they called silicino. riliciue is anew preparation which possesses the quality of making paints adhere firmly to smooth surfaces and also imparts a peculiar brilliancy of finish. It ia indispensable in the work, conse quently for lack of something belter the art, itself has received its name. lu this work a single sheet of glass ia treated simply as is one sheet of paper in water-color drawing, the design being sketched in and the colors laid on. The size of the window-frame is taken andasbeetof ordinary or plate glass ob tained of the same dimensions; this should be washed over with ailicine. The outlines of the design should first be drawn on paper and laid on a smooth surface, with the sheet of glass over it; these outlines can tbua be traced on the glass in ink. (A little ox-gall added to it will make the iuk flow freely.) This completed, the colors are applied accord ing to the taste, or the picture copied, if the latter is used. The colors must be specially prepared withsiliciue, which renders them perma nent, and they are themselves different from ordinary ones and should not be mixed with them. They are all translu cent and mix freely together. Over painting with the same color may bs resorted to and high lights obtained by the aid of a penknife. This method does away with all glass cutting nud tiring, and the leads may be securely applied in the same manner as the paint, and they may be further im proved by a little gilt or silver paint. Of course iu this work, where a single piece of glass is used, leads are not neces sary, but their use adds to the effect of the work. When the painting is finished thin pieces of wood should be used between on the sides, to prevent the immediate contact between the outside pane and ihe painted sheet, which should be in* sorted with the ornamented side next the clean glass. Ground glass is preferable for land scapes and remidruuspureni painting, and rough, wavy glass may sometimes lie used with advantage. With this work you can gain in beauty of original design, which all acknowledge is a great consideration; but perhaps many will prefer ihe patent decorations as a great saving of time and talent. A Question of Give and Take. There is said to be a sicking of the heart in the male population ol Japan. They have caught their wives and daughters in the act of rending orders to the Parisian dressmakers; and ao the fate of Japanese customs is sealed. In a few years Japan will dress like Paris or London or New York, What the sorrowful men of Japan do not seem to eoe is that it is a question of give and take. The Jnpnuese ladies are not pay ing for their Parisian gowns in money, but in kind. They are lending a score of native costumes to Europe for every dream in cream lace that is dispatched from Paris to them. In London the Japanese craze is being carried to such a pitch that it may soon be not at all the thing in society to wear dresses made elsewhere tlinn at the Japanese village. A few weeks ago two London theaters offered opanese attractions, and one of them docs so still; while the Drury Lane pantomime is very much Japan eed indeed. Here and there a ihop may be seen in ltegent street that does not exhibit Japanese screens, beads, shoes, funs, or other gor ds ; but five out of every six “conjurora” hail, or say they haii, from Japan. Even our chil dren carry Japanese dolls. Everything sonsiderea, then, the gentlemeu of Japan may find some relief in the re fleoiim that in this case action and re action are aheutequal.

Waydown Beebe said he had been thinking for some t'm? that the club ought to take it upon itself to gather and compile ceitain statistics regarding the colored ia?c of this country, and he trusted that a movtmrnt in that direc tion would be favorably considered.
