FOR THE FARM AND HOME. (
The U»e of Sunflower*.
This plant is a vigorous grower and 1
has been extolled as a preventive of J
malaria diseases. The seed affords
excellent food for hens and also for
horses. It is said that there is no kind
of feed that will keep horses in health,
give them sleek appearance and make
ihem lively and spirited like the seed
of a sunflower, feeding half a pint
night and morning. It is particularly
recommended for giving a horse power
of endurance, being half a pint night,
and morning with other feed. The
stalks and heads, after the seed is
worked out, also make good material
for fires, and are especially convenient
in summer, when a quick fire is de
sired and an enduring heat isfnot
wanted. In their growth they make
a showy appearance about dwellings
and give an agreeable fragrance to the
air. The latest direction in the line of
utilization of the sunflower is the
planting of a seed in a place at the
proper distances, so that the stalks as
they grow will serve as bean-poles.
We have seen them started In that
way this season, and as they grow the
leaves are removed, thus forming an
excellent stalk for the beans, but what
the effect will be upon them remains
to be seen. The roots must tax the
feeding capacity of the soil quite
heavily.— Germantown Telegraph,
The NurpliiM Applet. «
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 anotl>er. Beta
person try a horse or acow with half a
peck of good ripe apples and murk the
effect. I have done it. My cows
have had for years three half pecks ol
good apples daily with manifest ad
vantage to the yiol 1 of milk and but
ter and to their own great delight.
The pleased avidity with which cows
take a mess of applet is alone 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. 1 chop 1
the apples in a large feeding box with
a sharp spade, sprinkle tho 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. I’omnce will keep
several weeks if packed firmly in bar
rels or hogsheads, or even largo 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 incubation
seems to bo attracting a widespread
interest. The trouble, failure and dis
appointment which are almost the in
variable accompaniment of an attempt
to manage a largo number ot sitting
hens, has turned the attention of those
who are interested in rearing fowls in
large numbers, to the incubator as t he
only feasible means of relief. Os 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, anil may be much more
easily kept so than when running with
hens.
Third—The chickens being hatched
and reared together are much more
easily managed, and being of the : ame
age, grow up under equal circum
stances, and are consoqmntly larger
and more thrifty than when chicks of
all ages are kept together.
The greatest obstacle in the way of
artificial ]>oultry raising has been the
Jack of a brooder which will fill the
office 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 I
superiority of either method is a i
mooted question. Certain it is that, 1
while we have perfect artificial
batchers, the perfect brooder is a thin K
of the future.— Who Poultry Journal.

Unlimited range is not absolutely
necessary, 't he advantage of range is
in the variety of insect, green and seed
food which the fields, meadows and
orchards afford. Fowls will thrive
and lay well it they have ent of a
room to walk about, scratch m the
fresh earth and pick the tender grass
and vegetables that grow on their
runs.
Fowls confined to bouses 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
In the earth of the nature of food,
gravel or other aids to trituration of
the food in the gizzard, the solvent,
glands, or calcareous matter for egg
shells. In picking up these “uncon
sidered trifles,” dirt and excrement
must lie taken up and pass through
the same digestive and absorbent
channels, hence the necessity of scru
pulous cleanliness about the hen
houses and small yards at all seasons.
If fowls are to be kept successfully
in limited yards, they need to be
placed on dry soil—a place that has
the natural advantage of being readily
drained and always free from damp
ness and stagnant pools. It is also
requisite to keep the house and run
clean, the droppings and vegetable
refuse removed regularly, before fer
mentation takes place, and the appli
cation of deodorizers and disinfectants
to keep the place pure and sweet. The
time and labor requisite for such work
may seem irksome to the begirner,
and not necessary in pursuing the cul
tivation of poultry, but such ideas are
deceptive and misleading.-- -Poultry

Garget.
Garget Is inflammation of the udder.
It is caused in several ways: By in
jury, as blows or severe pressure; by
cold or exposure to snow or ice; by
an inflammatory condition of the blood
from overfeeding, excitement, or
absorption of impure matter; by en
gorgement of the milk glands, or by
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 udder as well
as any direct injury to the organ. It
appears by a hardness and swelling of
the udder, or by thickness or stringiness
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
tion of the glands and an abcess form
which contains pus. While it lasts
tlie cow is feverish and suffers great
pain from 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
salts in doses of one pound, repeated
the second day after If necessary.
The udder should be fomented with
hot water or a hot infusion of hops,
ami 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 band 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 riD-W"

each layer thickly with sugar and
lightly with cinnamon, and let the top
layer be bread crumbs. Melt an ounce
of butter and pour over the pudding.

A QUEER RACING CRAFT.
A Regatta of the "Hikers" on
the Delaware River.
Boats from Which the Crews Plunge
Overboard to Prevent Upsetting.
The "hiker” is an aquatic racehorse,
not more than fifteen feet long, with
out a deck, with a mast away up in the
bow, and with a single sail big
enough for a good-siz.ed yacht. The
“hiker” does not carry any ballast ex
cept that which can move about on
two legs. In other words, her crew
of four or five men are her ballast.
In order to utilize their weight so as
to prevent capsizing, the unknown
genius who invented the "hiker" de
vised the following scheme: Fasten
ed to the centre-board, the mast and
the lower yards of the sail are five or
six ropes, which are long enough to
hang over one side into the water. Ou
the ends which go over the side are
fastened bars of wood, and on these
bars of wood hang the human ballast]
An admirable illustration of the
working of this simple but rather
moist device is afforded during every
regatta of the Southwark Yacht Club.
The Southwark is composed entirely
of "hikers,” either with a double or a
single bow. When the starting gun is
fired, from thirty to fifty racers dip
across the line as their crews frantical
ly haul up the sails. They continue
hauling until such a spread of canvass
is displayed that any spectator who
was not acquainted with the use
of the apparently useless ropes and
wooden bars, which seem to be only
in the way of the men, would say at
once that the unballasted little boats
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 com
paratively slow, there being but a
breath of air. The crews all sit star
ing at the sail and at the river behind.
Suddenly the ruffling of the water tells
ofthe 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
wind 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 ute stretched
taut and the w...;<>•; bars disappears
overboard i wafer, followed by
t’’ . n on'', tb- ir legs remain in
■ j sit on the transverse
.old 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
ward over the side. They may suc
ceed and keep the boat from capsizing,
or they may all execute a grand flying
leap as the “hiker” goes over and they
are thrown forward into the sail.
This, 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. Os 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 st iff 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 crewq 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
race, and is left to take care of him
self. In this case be calmly strikes
out for the shore, half a mile away.
Sometimes half-a-dozen men are drop
ped over in this manner from one
boat, in order to lighten her and keep
her rivals from crawling ahead. But
woe to the captain who sacrifices too
many of his men. There may coxe
up an unforeseen wind and blow over
the too-lightly ballasted boat in the
twinkling of an eye.— Philadelphia

Professor Milne supposes earth tremors

Another investigator thinks that they

of vapor from molten ma’erial beneath
the crust of the earth consequent upon a
relief of external pressure. In other
words, these premonitory symptoms are
developed when the barometer is low.

Parrots anil their care.
To keep Polly in good health the diet
question must be most carefully studied.
The subjoined bill of fare is the only
suitable one to keep them in good
health, and enable them to enjoy a happy
old age.
Parrots in their wild state live upon
ripe fruit, and tame ones also enjoy it.
Hour or unripe fruit is very injurious to
them. Seeds they also live upon when
in their native land, and so destructive
are they to the crops, that boys mounted
on ponies are occupied in driving off the
gray parrots, which, we understand, fly
in flocks of 10,000 at a time; and from
our own observation of what one bird
can do in the way of destruction (as an
apple is soon entirely picked to pieces
and thrown piecemeal away, the seeds
only being eaten), we can easily calcu
late what 10,000 birds can do in a short
space of time. A whole orchard must
become ruined in less than two hours if
the birds are allowed to remain in it.
A tin of hemp seed or crushed Indian
corn should be their daily diet. Alter
nate it by giving cold boiled rice, with
a separate allowance of well soaked
bread, with the water fairly squeezed
out; bread is soaked thoroughly when
boiling water is poured upon it. Never
feed your bird with hot food; their beaks
are very sensitive. By uo means give your
parrot any animal food, not even a bone
to bite, as some people say, for amuse
ment. Animal food renders the bird
gavage, ill and unhappy, it causes the
bird to pluck out its feathers. What
for? Why. to chew the quill to procure
a taste of the animal food when the mas
ter or mistress is not inclined to give it
any. The bird is taught to become a
cannibal, and he becomes a veritable
lover of flesh, which he is not particular
in seizing hold of, whether it be upon
the thumb or linger bone. The practice
of giving ti e birds bones to bite is not
at all ago d one. It teaches them to
destroy their perches, or tear anything
they can lay hold of. The parrot re
quires no more amusement than to be
taken notice of, spoken to, sang to,
whistled to, and caressed by those whom
he has a preference for: no one else
should be allowed to touch him. A tea
spoonful of water once a day he will en
joy. but no trough of water must be put
in his cage. Never give your panot the
least particle of butter, fat, milk, or
greasy food of any description.
When you see your parrot continually
pluming itself, you may be sure it is in
good health. Parrots seem to possess a
litt’e of our vanity, for they love admir
ation. while ill health renders them, as
it renders us, careless of it. Keep your
bird our of draught. Cover it over nt
night time, then repeat several times any
sentence you wish it to say. Very ofu u
they learn it after two or three nights’
practice. Its attention is not attracted
by anything, save the sound of your
voice, when it is covered over.— Detroit

SCARCITY OF IN THB
(From Milvauk'.'. Eianing Witeomin.)
Ot recant years the slaughter of buffaloes
has brrn carried on in such a wasteful way
as to amount almost to extermination. It
has not boen even for the hides ot the crea
tures, bit in thousands and thousands of
cases simply for their tongues, the rest of the
carcass having been allowed to rot upon the
plains. Present indications are to the effect
that what is left of the buffaloes is to be an
Eastern animal, and somewhat of a curiosity.
An odd thing is said to have taken place
recently in Philadelphia, where in the "Zoo”
is quite a i extensive and expensive herd ot
buffaloes. Three baby buffaloes have been
added to the herd. A Nebraska man came
along and wanted to buy one. The super.n
tendent told him the baby buffaloes were not
for sale, and asked him why he wanted to
buy such a creature. "It is a serious mat
ter,” he sud in a solemn manner, "and I
must get some kind of a buffalo to take back
to Nebraska with me, for there is a whole
tribe of Indians waiting to celebrate their
national medicine dance around him. There
ain't a buffalo to b« got in the West, and I
had to come East especially to get one.”
This is one of the “straws which show
which way the wind blows” in regaid to tlie
radical changes brought about by the filling
up of the Western country Ths time was
when buffaloes were plenty enough in Ne
braska and even throughout Wisconsin, and
it is only a c unparatively short time ago
that herds ot buffaloes ranged the western
part of the Stale of New York, where the
city ot Buffa'o now stands.
How things do change' Formerly the
fields occup.ed by what is called malaria
were confined to limited areas, principal y
low lands an 1 undrained marshes. The cu
rious thing about these malaria fields is that
they have spread and increased until malaria
is now as plenty as buffaloes are scarce. This
Is a phenom non which defies explanation.
Hardly ony where is anybody safe from an
attack of ina'aria. These attacks sometim-s
take the form of old-fashioned “chills and
fever,” iomet mes‘ dumb ague,” and some,
times of those slow and hidden forms of
fever which u idermine the constitution and
leave the vict in a wreck.
What a ha.ipy thing it would be if we
could be. assured that malaria is on the de
crease so that cases of malarial fever are
likely to become as scares as buffaloes now
are.
Well, perhaps we are on the road to it.
Certainly we are, if every malarial sufferer
will adopt the course pun-ued by some w>hcm
we know. Look, for 1 stance, nt the case of

her, and found the young lady and her
mother both busily engaged on some new

"So you had malarial trouble, had you,
Miss Bartholomew f”
"I was troubled in that way for a long
time,” she r plied," and 1 tried a good many
ways which were recommended to me t r
getting rid of it. It was very discouraging

the last was that I had uo need lor any other.
I This did the work so thorough'y and routed
I the disease out so quo k'y that I have for
’ some time had uo need for medicine.”
it is easy to see that if everybody who has
malarial disease will only get rid of it by
I taking this effectual remedy, malaria wi'l

The Eagle of the Mint,
Ncsrly every one who has visited the
Philadelphia mint during the past twenty
years has noticed a stuffed bald head
eagle in a glass case on the second floor.
Few, however, know its history. The
bird, when alive, was presented to the
mint a quarter of a century ago by one
of the assayers, Dr. Peale. “Pete” was
the eagle’s name, and he soon became n
great pet nt the institution. He would
fly about the city all day long, but in
variably returned to his home toward
evening. “Pete” was especially fond of
o«e of the employes of the mint, a jolly
Irishman, and would follow him about
like a dog. No matter what “Pete”
might be doing he would always respond
to a call from his friend. One day the
noble bird proudly pcarched himself
upon a fly wheel at the mint. It sud
denly gave a whirl and “Pete” was no
more. He was crushed to death. The
employes thought so much of their pet
that they had hint stuffed and mounted.

More than 30.000 fragments of ancient

“Billy” Emerson has recently made a phe
nomenal success in Australia, and is rich.
Emerson was torn at Belfast in 18445. He
beean his career with Joe Sweeney s min
stroll in Washington in 1857. Later on he
jumped into prominence in connection w»tn
Newcomb’s minstrels, with whom he visited
Germany. He visited Australia in 18<4, ana
on his return to America joined Haverley s
minstrels in San Francisco at |SOO a week
and expenses. With this troupe he played be
fore her majesty, the queen, the Fnnce of
Wales, and royalty generally. At Ur th.s
trip he leased the Standard theatre, ban
Francisco, where for three years he did the
largest business ever known to minstrelsy.
In April last he went to Australia again,
where he has ‘ beaten the record.”
“Billy” is a very handsome fellow, an ex
cellent sing’ef, dances gracefully, and is a
true humorist
•‘Yes, sir, I have traveled all over the
world, have met all sorts of people, come in
contact with all sorts of customs, and Lad
all sorts of experiences. One must have a
constitution like a locomotive to stand it”
“Yea, I know I seem to bear it like a
major, and 1 do, but I tell you candidly with
the perpetual change of diet, water and cli
mate, if I had not maintained my vigor with
regular use of Warner’s safe cure 1 should
have gone under long ago.”
George H. Primr/se, whose name is known
in every amusement c rcle in America, is
even more emphatic, if possible, than ••Billy”
Emerson, in commendation of the same arti
cle sporting and traveling men generally,
among whom it is a great favorite.
Emerson has grown rich on the boirds and
so has Primrose, because they have not
squandered the public’s “favors.”
