POULTRY PARAGRAPHS
Feed poultry on good sound grain.
Offal or damaged grain is unwhole
some, and if ;!ed Jreely will produce
disease.
Pounded oyster or clam shells are
good for laying hens. They act as
gravel iu assisting digestion, and furn
ish lime for the tissues from which the
shells of eggs are made Break them
up small enough for the fowls to swal
low easily. They will eat a good deal
of this kind of food.
A neat, simple and effective method
of keeping high flyers at home is
mentioned by The Poultry World.
Merely scissor away about half of the
feathery part of each wing-feather,
excepting an inch at the end, without
cutting the quill or shaft of the feather
at all. This shows but little when the
wings are closed, and so does not. dis
figure the fowl, but it lets the air
through sufficiently to prevent flying.
One of the best ways to destroy hen
*lice is by a proper use of the white
wash brush and fumigants. When
the poultry-house is kept in decent
order there will be little trouble, but
otherwise the fowls will not prosper.
A very good plan is to wrap the roost-
poles with pieces of old carpet, old
bags, or horse blankets. Tack these
on neat and smooth and saturat^them
once a fortnight with diluted carbolic
acid, or coal oil. This will clean the
perches and add much to the comfort
and productiveness of the hens.
Gave eggs from the best hens for
setting. Many poultry keepers do not
know which are the best layers, bnt
this may be discovered hy a little at
tention. Old hens lay larger eggs
than pullets, and the chicks hatched
from two-year old hens, when mated
with a vigorous one-year old cock, will
be larger, more thrifty, and fledge
better than chicks from pullets' eggs.
In selecting eggs to hatch, take those
that arc of fair average size; reject
the small or ill-shaped ones, or the
very large ones. There is no way to
determine the sex of the chick .by an
examination of the size, shape, or other
external appearance of the egg.
It is a little odd that in this country,
where every facility, exists, so few
ducks aud geese are raised. These
are proverbially the most hardy and
loug lived of all our poultry. In places
where cholera, croup, etc, sweep
ofl the fowls and turkeys, geese and
ducks, which are not subject to these
diseases, should lie tried. In densely
populated Great Britain and even in
Belgium where one would suppose
there was little room, more geese are
raised to the square mile than in the
United States. In the interior ducks
and geese can be raised ns profitably
as other kinds of poultry, and where
diseases prevail, more profitably.
MEDICAL HINTS-
Teas for the Sick Itoo.M.—Dried
leaves of sage, one-half ounce; boiling
water, cue quart; steep for three
quai tors of an hour and then strain
for use; sugar can be added to suit
the taste. Peppermint, spearmint,
balm, hoarhound, and other herb teas
are made in the same manner.
Cuke for Chronic Rheumatism.
—Dr. Bonnett, of Graulbet, France,
recommends and prescribes for chronic
rheumatism the use of the essential oil
of turpentine by friction. He used
it himself with perfect success having
almost instantaneosly got rid of rheu
matic pains in both knees and iu the
left shoulder.
Relief for Croup.—Croup can
he cured in one minute, and the rem
edy is simply alum and sugar. The
way to accomplish the deed is to take
a knife or grater, and shave off in
small panicles about a teaspoonful of
alum'; lima mix it with twice its
qlMuti y of sugar, to make it palatable,
and administer it as quickly as possi
ble Almost instantaneous relief will
follow.
Asthma.—The following prescrip*
lion was given a correspondent by
II<»n. E. B. French, of the Treasury
T'e|ian ment: Iodide of potassium,
two drams ; tincture of lobelia, half
;mi ounce; syrup of seuega, two ounces;
camphorated tincture of opium, half
-tu ouncewater sufficient to make
tour ounces. A teaspoonful. every
t-alt hour until relieved. The above
cured the above-named gentleman, and
has been used successfully in the cor
respondent’s own family.
Fou Scald-Head.—Alice M.
A ntes to the Household: “ Here is a
cure for scald-head that I have seen
used many years, but it has to be ap
plied more than once: "fake equal
parts of good pine tar and new mut
ton tallow ; melt just enough to mix
well, then add a few drops of sweet'oil
to make it soft (if sweet oil is not
hand)', hen’s oil or pig’s foot oil will
do); do not shave the bead, but just
opeu the hair and apply to the skin;
if there is a scab, apply to that and it
will soon heal and come off.”
HOUSEHOLD HINTS
A little corn starch in milk will im
prove chocolate.
Turpentine is the best to wet stove
polish with before usiug*
One cup of beePs gall in sixteen
quarts of water, will keep red clothes
from fading.
If you will pour a little vinegar in
the water you wash blue clothes in, it
will keep them bright.
Tea—Tea is best made in an
earthenware tea pot, which should be
kept dry, for if allowed to remain
damp after use it becomes musty. The
water should always boil when the tea
is added. Tea is not wholesome on
an empty stomach.
Celery.—Celery can he kept for a
week or longer by first rolling it up in
brown paper, then pin it up in a towel
and keep it in a dark place, and keep
as cool as possible. Before preparing
it for the table place it in a pan of
cold water, and let it remain for an
hour. It will make it crisp and cold.
Keeping Corned-Beef —Cut up
the meat in suituble pieces, pa<k in a
cask or vessel, then make a brine as
follows: To ono gallon of water add
one and a half pounds of salt and one
ounce of saltpetre; bring the brine to
a boil, and then, while hoiliDg hot,
pour on the meat; it will keep, ns
much as it will cover. The meat
must be kept entirely under the brine.
In the spring again boil, skim and
pour it o'n the meat while hot. Some
add one pound of sugar and oue ounce
of saleratus to 100 pounds of corned-
beef.
A German inventor has patented
an apparatus designed to lessen the
strain upon a horse, particularly at
starting of a loaded vehicle. The
traces are fastened to an iron rod run
ning through the centre of a cylinder
containing several rings of gutta-per
cha. When the horse exerts himself
the strain first comes upoq and com
presses these rings, saving the should
ers. The German War Department,
having made experiment and found
that the saving of f«»rce, not alone at
starting, but during traction was at
least a third, has resolved to employ
the attachment in its artillery and
military irains. It might pay, from
an economical as well ns humane point
of view, to introduce it here.
Nothing fed produces finer flavor
ed milk, butter, cheese or hams than
the parsnip. No root is better relish
ed by hogs or bovine. The yield of
parnips is uot as largo as rutabagas,
mangols or large varieties of carrots;
bat the writer has grown from 500 to
700 bushels per acre, and with less
than half the laimr i- n.-!n to cultivate
101 bushels per a*.*r*-, side by side, of
the long orango carrot, which is the
best variety for stock feeding. The
parsnip in the only root that we can
allow to start out in the winter in the
ground, as it grows uninjured, even
when frost is severe. This character
istic of the parsnip is invaluable, as
they, keep perfectly.
