There la a suggestion in the article be
low, which we clip from the Albany
Neva, that is valuable and timely. We
publish it for the especial benefit of onr
Indy readers in tho country:
I don't want you to pat my name in
the paper,” said a well-to-do Worth coun
ty farmer who came into the News and
Advertiser office yesterday to renew bis
subicriptiou. "irat you can say that ■
Worth county farmer's wife sold eighty-
savin du/.> n eggs anil 'ninety-three head
of chickens lust year. She kept an exact
account of all si *i aol 1 daring the year,
and the other night we made a oaleaia-
tion to see what tiro uvernge prices of
chickens end eggs, respectively, were for
the year. We sold ihcm all in Albany,
and our calculation showed that the aver
age was about tho same—27} cents a
head to{ the chickens, and 27J cents a
dozen for tho eggs. My wife claims all
the ’chicken anil egg money' ns her own
and has acenmnlaied a right sung little
sam. I rather encourage ber in it
for it makes her feel independent
and besides being Hie raeane of nconmn-
laiingaliitle reserve food at home, the
chicken and egg business has, in our
caae, been a considerable factor in do
mestic economy. My wife thinks she
will be able. Ibis year, to almost double
tbe ealea o( laat yaar.and I believe she
will, for ahe baa mado a pretty good start
by selling nearly thirty dpzeu eggs since
tbo first of January.”
Dairy Kami anil Denary.
For fally two years tbe Rbcokukr bis
advocated the establishing of a dairy farm
in Ibis city. We are of the opinion dLat
a canvass in this city wonld show that
the milk irom twenty or thirty cows could
he sold at a fair price, if delivered every
morning and evening. As it is. however,
tho people prefer t J keep cows, in pref-
cruneo to he obliged to take milk when
they can get it. From the extract below,
which wo cull from the Albany News, it
will be seen that n gentleman in that city
bns determined to try the dairy business.
We shall watch bis report with inleresL
For tha benefit of thu credulous oues, we
present his plana:
Air. E. H. Barer* has leased tbo llines
place, just outside tbe city limits, and
established thereon a dairy farm and
lottery. He has some twelve or fifteen
good milch oowaand about fifty hens now
industriously engaged in Urcir respective
Unea of business. Besides furnishing the
Barnes House with alt the milk that is
wanted by the guests of that popular
hostelry, he has from five to teo gallons
for market everyday. He keeps his cows
up all thA time, and they are attended to
and milked by Mr. John Abbott and bin
wife, who live on the plaee. With tbe
splendid pasturage that he will have for
bla cattle aa soon aa the season advances
* little farther, Mr. Barnes srill soon be
able to mako bis dairy farm not only self-
sustaining bnt profitable. Mr. Abbott
delivers milk in any quantity to eustom-

Old Mr.CoUamoreie very deaf. The
other Sunday, in the midst of the ser
vices, Mr. Hoff, who aits immediately
behind Mr. Collamo**, saw a spider
crawling over the letter’s held Lead.
Hia first impulse wee to nudge him end
tell him about it, bat be remembered
that Mr. Coilaifiore wet deaf, so he
lifted np hia band and brushed the
spider off. Hoff didn't aim quito high
enough, und, in bin nervousness, be hit
old C'ollamore quite a sore re blow. Tha
old gentleman turned around in • rage
toaeewhohad dared to taka sneli a
liberty with him, and Hoff began to ex
plain with gestures. But (Vdlamore.
in a loud voice, demanded wbat it
meant. It was very painful to Hoff.
The oyos of tbo fougnegatirai were upon
him. and he grew red in tho face.
"There was a spider on yonr head.” “A
whito place on my head, bey 7 8'poae
there is, wlmt'a that to you? Youll
know what it is to bo bald-headed your
self some day." "It waa a spider,*
shrieked Hoff, while tire perspiration
began to roll off bis face. "Certainly
it's wider,” said Collamore, "and got
more in it than yours, lint let it alonn
—do you mind? Yon may let my head
nlono in cburcb." “Air. Cplbnaorc,”
shrieked Hoff, “there waa a spider on
your head, anil I brushed him off—this
way,” aud Hoff tnade another gesture at
Collamore'a hood. Tho old man thought
ho was going to tight him then and
there, and hurling a hymn book nt
Hoff, he seized tho kneeling stool on
tho Door of the pew and was about to
bong Mr. Hoff, when the sexton inter
fered. An explanation wna written on
the By-leaf of the hymn book, where
upon Mr. Collnmoro apologized in n
boisterous voice, and resumod bin nont.
They think of asking Mr. Collnmoro to
worshjp elsewhere.
Wilke* Booth’s Ride.
* [Washington Critic.)
*’Whnt did Booth ride?" asked tho
reporter.
“Old Sorrel Charley, the best sad
dler ever seen in this country. I doubt
if tho world ever produced hia equal.
Of course he came from Kentuoky. All
great saddlers do.”
"Did Booth buy him?”
“No, he hired him.”
"And wbat became of him.**
“Wo never heard."
“Waa the hire paid?”
“In the senna that Booth had been a
good customer only.”
“What were Charley’s points?"
"All that a saddler ever boasted. He
wouldn't pull a pound, but n good rider
could single-fool hiru down from Capi
tol hill to onr stable with a full glean of
water in each hand and nevor spill n
drop, and at better than n fonr-munto
gait, too. Booth know him well, abd
could ride him like a picture. I rlonbt
if he suffered even with bin broken
limb ns much as has been said.”
“How for was the ride?"
‘Down to Dr. Mndd'a that night, full
twenty miles away. Khoridan’a gallop
from Winchester, I’ll bet, was a fool to I
that rido. When I hoard in the morn
ing what horse tho assassin rode, I said:
‘They who pursne will follow, and only
follow.’"

(Exeliange.)
In n preliminary pn[mr read before u
recent meeting of the London Patho
logical society, Air. Sntton and Dr.
Honcnge Oihbcs described an investi
gation now being ramie by them into
tuberculosis of birds. They find that
tho disenso is very prevalent among
birds, and that it sometimes becomes
epidemic. The effects do not exactly
correspond to those produced in inau
by consumption, but thu )mrasito
present in lrotli eases seems to Im tho
same. Tho dis >aso virus appears to Im
introduced with tiro torsi, and the birds
most liablu to bo affected are common
fowl, peacock, grouse, and othor grain
eaters.

A rcmarkuhle feature of the two

about C.000 miles; ami from tire surface
