AGRICULTURE. ARTIFICIAL HEAT FOR FOWLS. —Daring the cold winter months, when the ther mometer not only goes far below Bero but remains there and we draw closer to our fires or furnaces, exposing ourselves as lit tle as possible to the severe cold, we nat urally think more in regard to the use of artificial heat for fowls, and perhaps some of us are inclined to make experiments for ourselves. This is a good idea if propei ly carried out, but one should understand thoroughly just what he proposes to ac complish by this experiment. At the first glance it seems to be the most natural ihmg in the world to give fowls the benefit of artificial warmth, on the principle that what is beneficial for man cannot be hurt ful for fowls. But let us consider the ques tion for a moment. If your sole object is the fattening ot your birds and the produc tion of eggs without regard to the future welfare of your stock, then by ail means use artificial heat, for there is no question but that this is de&irabte in the production of fat and eggs, if you begin this treat ment, however, remember lhat you must not let the fixe go out or the heat abate bo low a certain point, lor if this happens your labor will have beou thrown away and your stock injured, since fowls aw very susceptible to chills and suddeu colds alter being accustomed to artificial warmth. If you wish to broed from your present stock retain a portion of it iu ) our yards lor a ,'ouger time than the present waiter. It prooably would be a mistake to resort to artificial heat, as it sarely enervates and renders delicate lue siock subjected to its Influence, aud the result is poor, puny spe cimens for chicks and a debilitated stock. Oa the whole, then, for general purposes, it is better not to rely ou extraneous heat, but have your fowl houses well protected and as large a proportion of glass iu the south and east sides as possible. This will usually luruish sufficient warmth, anu even, where it is a little cool it is better for the fowls (admitting the loss of a few eggs at the present time), than it is to furnish too great an amount of heat and thereby lender your entire stock weak and debili tated. This course would also prevent allowing the fowls any range, as the change from a heated room to the cold air without would be too great a oue lor safety. The variety, however, makes quite a difference, as a hardy, vigorous fowl like the Fly mouth Rock will endure change of all kinds much better tbau a delicate one like the bpanisfi. The Plymouth Rock, more over, does not necessarily demand the range required by the Spanish add Leg horn, and for lhat reason, as well as many others, is the best breed or variety for gen eral u->c. EFKECT OFORFORT ON THE QUALITY OF THE MILK. —The quiet and coiiilon ot ILE cow has much to do with the quality ot her milk, lu hot weather, the annoyance produced by flies, and excitement caused by fighting them, makes the night's milk still poorer than it otherwise would be. Chemical analysis has shown a gnat falling oil of fat in the milk of the same cew when chased by a dog. Any unusual excitement of the Cow affects the fat in her milk. Ey of heat and cold a'so affect the milk. a case where cows went into a stream in hot weather, and stood several hours in the water above the knee, there was a falling elf of the butter product from the same quautity of milk. This is accounted for by the extra food required to keep up the animal heat, in consequence of the heat beiug carried off by the water. When we consider the fact that milk is secreted from the blood, we can readily see the effect that must be produced by ex citement on the nervous system ol the cow. In a case occurring in the city of Albany, N. Y., where a nervous cow was miiked by a passionate man, who whipped and otherwise ill-treated her at milking, the milk was givtu to a child who bad been healthy, but, after using this milk, became ill and suffered from intestinal irritation, followed by a fever which seemed to affect the brain and nervous system. Ttis ill was traced directly to the milk of this 11- treated cow. PKXSZBYISG Eaoi. —Several plans have been tried with more or less success. To preserve eggs, the pores of the shell must be stopped up, for two reasons: to prevent the entrance of the air, and consequent spoiling of the contents; and to prevent the evaporation of the moisture of the egg and a drying up of the contents. Placing the eggs in a net or basket, and plunging ithem for a few seconds in boiling water~ long enough to c.x)k or solidify a thin film of white next to the shell, is successfully prrcticed in some families, but it would spoil the egg 9 for sale. Closing the pores by gmearing the shell with lard, suet or iiaseed oil, has been tried with more or less success. Many years ago a patent was ta ken out for the use of sheliaG varmae for the same purposes. The care requ red in llie use af the varnish, as each egg must be treated separately, and as a slight un covered spac: would allow the egg to spoil besides the discoloration prevented this irom coming into use. GYPSUM—PI.ASTKK OF PARIS.— When gypsum, cr crude plaster, is heated to 272 degrees it loses the water it naturally con tains, and becomes plasterof Paris. Though the operation is called "burning," it takes place at a comparatively low temperature. When mixed with water, it re-uuites with that, afld becomes chemically the same as it was before, and when le ground is pro bably as valuable a fertilizer as the "raw stone-" We say "probably," as wo are not sure that it is quite so soluble as at first, though it is not likely that there is any perceptible difference in this respect. The usual time for applying gypsum on clover is in the spring, when vegetation is just starung. WHENEVER you see a iiawk fly off with a chicken, follow him at a djstaLce suffi cient to allow him to get well a-going witn his repast before you molest him, but be sure and fnghten him away be f ore he has devoured the whole chicken. Then set your steel trap where you And your chick en, covering it well with feathers for bait, and, in a few minutes after you are out of sight, the unsuspecting pirate will pounce down and take possession of that trap m a way that will allow you to carry him home at your leisure. PRUNING THE NCRWAY BPKCCE —Prun ir g may be done for very opposite ends. If the spruce is planted as a hedge or screen, then it needs to be dwarfed rather than encourage to grow upward. Cutting back the new growth, before it has yet hardened, is generally done in June; this has the effect to keep the tree in a dwarf, compact form, if the object is merely to regulate th 3 shape, by removing or short ening certain branches, it may be done in autumn at any time before severe weather comes. For cutting away the lower limbs of a Norway spruce, or other evergreen, there is no one "proper time." CORN FODDER. —WeII-cured com fodder has a feeding value almost equal to hay, and yet this fact is only appreciated by a few farmers. Cut up fine—butts and all —and fed with bran and com meal, it is first rate provender: nor should it be for gotten that the butts are the best part. DOMESTIC. BLACK BEAN SOUP —Wash ami soak over night in tepid water one pint ot black beans. In the morning add four quarts of cold water, a ham boue, and boil slowiy till the beans are soft, replen ishing the water as it boils away. Rub the beans through a colander, luasmng them, and return to the kettle, having taken out the ham bone. Chop two hard boiled eggs, and slice one lemon very thin, add a pinch of red pepper aud salt if the ham boue has not made it salt enough. If you wish, you can mould a quarter of a pound of sausage meat into small balls the size of a marble and throw them into the soup for forcemeat balls, and cook about ten minutes. You should have three quarts of soup for this quantity of beans, aud it should have the thickness of turtle soup. Black beaus are 9 cents a pint, lemoua are 2 cents a piece, two eggs cost 6 cents; so that the deli cious and nourishing dish need cost but 20 cents, when eggs are near the highest. Instead of the ham bone, auy meat boue can be used, or a pig's foot or calf's foot, skinned, make a very rich soup of this toundatiou. But it requires no meat loue of any description provided von salt it freely. (Wansail Central Wisconsin.] Being asked concerning the Oil, Mr. Aug. Kickbusb informed the questioner that fct.

THE culture of osier willows Is a speci alty that pays only under lavorable cir cumstances, such as a suitable location and soil and a steady market for them. The demand is unsteady aud very limited, and the soil suitable is lew, moist, wet grouud. They can be raised most profit ably on the edges of ditches made to drain swamps; the cuttings are planted along the ditches on the soil or muck thrown out and may lie readv for gather ing the tnird year, when the roots throw up a large amount of shoots. The kind of willow grown is s shrub aud not a tree, and throws up a cluster of thin stems, which grow to the height of six to ten teet. These willows make excellent baLds for binding corn-stalks. GROWTH OF TIMBER.—AS the result of observation, and from the testimony of reliable men the following is about the average growth in twelve years of the lead ing desirable varieties of timber, when planted iu belts or groves and cultivated : White maple, one foot iu diameter and 80 feet high ; ash, leaf maple or box elder, one foot in diameter and 20 feet high; wnite willow, one and a halt feet in diam eter and 50 feet high; yellow willow, one a half feet in diameter and 34 feet high ; Lonibardy poplar, 10 inches in diameter and 4u feet high ; blue and white asli 10 inches in diameter and 25 feet high; black walnut and butternut, 10 inches in diameter and 20 feet high.

In making up the second time put a little more salt in, as the quantity put in the yeast is scarcely sufficient to season the bread.

A good remedy for soft corns is common chalk rubbed on the corn every day, and a piece of cotton wool worn between the corns afficted, to prevent pressure; the chalk appears to dry up the corn.

STEAM PIPHS —As regards the best method of protecting steam piDes, floccu lent or fibrous materials, which are noor heat conductors, are to be preferred, and. if possible, an air space should be left be tween the pipe and the lDner wall of the covering. Hair, felt, loosely felted wool, shoddy, so called mineral wool, asbestos, cork scraps, etc., are all good non-conduc tors. A trench about the pipe filled with sawdust, answers very well for under ground pipes. HUMOROUS.
