PEARLY FARM NOTES, TuERE is no mistaking fowl cholera once you see it. The persistent thirst, the drowsiness, the white, viscid drop- pings becoming, as to the disease pro- gresses, first yellowish and then green, and the characteristic symptom of the fowl keeping on its feet almost to the last minute-—these tell the take, and are unmistakable. The innumerable cholera cures published from time to time grow out eof faulty diagnosis, There are other fatal diseases besides cholera, and more easily cured, GRAIN FOR SHEEP,— An experienced shepherd says that perhaps more than any ether animal, sheep need a little grain in winter. Especially the ewes with lamb need the supplementary ra- tion of grain, It must be borne in mind that the ewe with lamb is doing double work at this season. She is growing a heavy fleece of wool, and at the same time sustaining the demands of the living, growing organism that she must soon bring forth. The double strain upon her system must be met and supported by extra good rations, ANY horse worth wintering, should have some green food in winter to keep its bowels open. It is dry and concen- trated food that causes fevers by con- stipating the bowels, making the hair rough. The good effect of oil meal consists in the fact, not that it directly mekes fat, but that it enables the stomach to digest food more perfectly, Carrots have the same effect, A few given daily enable the owner of a horse to diminish the grain ration and keep the animal in better order at less ex- pense, THERE is danger in buying a made- up let of hogs for feeders. What we mean by made-up lot is a few bought in a place till the required number is se- cured. It is impossible to tell whether all the animals are healthy, Often disease lurks in sections where the scareity of corn gives the farmers a good excuse to sell their hogs, which are really bought by feeders from sections where corn is plenty, When removed to these sections and fed corn exclusively for a few days or weeks Lhe disease is developed in all its viru- lence, WueN planting a young tree leave very little wood. Cut back as much as possible. By so doing the roots will be better able to provide nourishment in the beginning. Many young trees die because there are not enough roots to feed the surplus wood that was allowed to remain on the young tree when it was planted, ABouT SELLING HoNEY,—The sale of honey direct to consumers, rather than consigning it, was advised at a convention of bee-keepers in Ruchester, Producers can increase demand by better quality. It is not wise to carry honey over a year. The price must be as low as that of other sweets, that it may be us d by manufacturers and by the people. Trouble in marketing is caused by dealers not being familiar with bee-keeping in its various branches Great loss is occasioned in shipping vy packages being broken, more often by express than freignt, strange as it may seem. A box should not overrun one or two pounds, and dealers prefer that the weight be less rather than more, How much money has been, and stil] is being filched from people’s pockets, by “mew’’ fruits and vegetables! Hun- dreds of thousands of dollars have been wasted upon new strawberries alone, Now I think the horticultural public ~ught to set down its foot, and declare | that it wil not buy a plant or rend for any species or variety that can be tested in one two seasons, unless it has success. fully run the gantlet of the experiment stations. Tarties confident tnat they | have produced new small fruits and | vegetables of advanced merit ought to | be willing to await such tests, and the | intelligent public and the press should | look with stern dis avor on any effort ! to force these novelties forward in ad- | vance of such a verdict, HOUSEHOLD, VEGETARIANISM, —The wor d 1s fond of what it calls its “fads,” but doesn't seem inclined to work up Vegetarian- ism into one of them, Even its dis- ciples, the warmest of them, are tempt. ed at times—if not, as a rule—to step beyond the strict line which is supposed to divide the animal and vegetable kingdoms. They don’t ignore eggs; and the egg can hardly beeclassed under the head of vegetables, notwithstanding that the newspaper paragrapher gener- ally refers to it as ‘‘hen-fruir.’”” In- deed, it is proverbially said to be noth- ing if not meat; and the vegetarian, or any other man, that explores the true inwardness of its shell for the purpose of finding a head of cabbage or a Con- necticut pumpkin will be disappointed, Now, don’t imagine, dear reader, that-should you chance to be a vegetar- rian—we are disposed to find fault with you, if occasionally, or oftener, if you into more solid and tenet-forbidden pas- ture. We are told that all flesh Is it; hence, we are safe in predicting that mankind-—that is the civilized portion of them—will continue to live and eat as they have done ever since the time they discovered the luxury of 8 roast dinner. When the world was new, men were content to live like caterpil- lars, solely upon the plants of the earth, because they knew of nothing better; but “times have changed, and men have changed with them;’’ and in noth- ing perhaps has the change been more paration of their foods. Vegetables are good--yes, they are with which Heaven has blessed and if that same kind Heaven decide and declare that we must get along without one or the other, that it must be all meat or all vegetable, we should unhesitatingly cling to the veg- etable, Thanks now to the Ingenuity of man, we depend upon no season for these delicacies; the art of canning has bridged over that dilemma, and green peas are as common a sight upon our winter tables as potatoes. In some of the large cities on the ism would seem to be more in favor than in this country, In London, for instance, there are restaurants and cafes, and even hotels, and boarding- houses, which profess to serve up only vegetarian meals, of these meals is, we can judge from the menus which certain metropolitan province it is to make a of 1ts columns periodically to arranging vegetarian menus fr the bLenefit of such places of rrsort or residence as need them. Here is one of these menus together with the manner of preparing the principal dishes served: Store proprietor (to possible custo. mer looking at the window): “Loom in, coom in, und I show you doss dings mineself.”” Possible customer (shyly): “I don’t know anything about going in, their prices plainly marked.” Store pro- prietor: **Dot vas all right mine frienat; bud it nod do vor us to mark our prices on dose dings.
