We inrlte conimiinlotlonii from tl person, whn re
intiTHMtpd lu matter, properly bulonlns: t this de
partment. Cost of Keepluj a Cow.
It Is a question of some imortanco to
know the cost of keeping a cow, where the
food and hay nre to bo purchased and the
probable yield of milk in a year, in reply
to a correspondent in the Tribune, Mr. Ar
nold estimates that a cow will consume
three tons of hay and 1 J tons of bran, count
ing the liny at $10 per ton and bran at $20
the cost of keeping a cow a year will be $03.
Without varying the cost much, if any, a
little oatmeal in sumnior aud a little corn
moal in Winter may be used as a subsitute
in part for bran, by way of variety, and
better results will be obtained if the hay is
thoroughly wot and the feed mixed with it
one meal in advanco, of feeding, that both
may become well soaked and softened be
fore feeding. The refuse from tho houso,
apple and potato parings, &c., may also be
given with advantage. Thus kept an or
dinary cow would produce 1,000 to 1,800
quarts of milk in a year at an average of
six cents per quart, it would be worth $90
to $108, which would afford a hansdome
profit. If the milk be churned into butter
it would not afford much profit unless the
skimmed milk aud butter be considered
valuable. Perhaps not more than a hun
dred to 130 pounds of but tor could be modo,
which at an average of thirty cents would
be $30 to $39 counting the Bkimmed milk
worth throe cents per quart it would amount
to $48 to $50 and the price of the butter
added, would make $78 to $93 which would
still have a fair profit for price of cow,
trouble, &c.
Gapes In Chickens.
lu a recent conversation with an experi
enced chicken grower, he informed us that
ho had been very successful in conquering
that precarious disease in his young fowls,
by the application of air-slaked lime. As
soon as manifestation of gapes iu bis fowls
appeai-s, he confines his chickens in a box,
one at a time, sufficiently large to contain
the bird, .and places a coarse piece of cotton
or linen cloth over the top. Upon this he
places the pulverized lime and taps the
screen sufficiently to cause the lime to full
through. This lime dust the fowl inhales
and causes it to sneeze, and in a short time
the cause of the gapes is thrown out iu the
form of a slimy mass or masses of worms,
which had accumulated in the windpipe aud
smaller air vessels. This remedy he con
siders superior to any he has ever triod,
and he seldom fails to effect a porfect cure.
lie has abjured all those mechanical
means by which it is attempted to dislodge
the Enlozoant with instruments made of
whalebone, bog's bristles, or fine wire, al
legging that people are quite as certain to
push tho gape worms farther down the
throat of the fowls, as to draw thorn out.
Lancaster Farmer.
rumpkln Seeds Kill Chickens.
Those feeding pumpkins in the fall or
winter to stock, will be careful not to let
the chickens eat the seed, as it will make
them sick, and generally kill them. I ex
perienced it. Last fall, when I fod pump
kins to my milk cows, the chickens would
eat the seed , and I did not care. I thought
if they would eat pumpkins that they
would eat less corn, but I soon found out
the result. I soon observed sick ohickens
about the place, crawling and lingering
about, but did not know what was the mat
ter, until one day a neighbor lady came to
my house, and we got to talking about sick
chickens. I told her that we had some on
the place that could not walk ; whenever
thoy attempted to walk, they would full
over backward. She asked me if I fed
pumpkins. I told hor I fed to cows, and
tho chickens would eat the seed, and the
lady said that was the cause of it ; the
pumpkin seeds are too flat and tough for
them to digest. If any one has chickens
affeoetd thus, let him coop them immedi
ately, give them plenty of shelled corn and
gravel. This will often cure them and clean
out the pumpkin seed. Cor. Rural World.
IS" About every six weeks we have an
iuquiry as to the best method of tannine
sheepskins with the wool on, for the use of
door-mats, rugs, etc. Here are the direc
tions ; Tack the skin upon a board with the
flesh side out then scrape with a blunt knife;
next rub it over hard with pulvorized chalk
until It absorbs no more. Then take the
skin from the board, and cover it with pul
verized alum ; double half-way over the
flesh side in contact j then roll tight togeth
er, aud keep dry for three days, after which
unfold it and stretch it again on a board or
door, and dry iu the air, and it will be ready
for use. American Artizan.
A common flower pot, inverted over a
plate of buttor, and kept covered with wot
cloths, will keep butter in that state of sol
idity which is essential to its attractive
ness. 13T Never put a particle of soap ou sil

Fever & Ague Powders
PERMANENT CURE OF CHILLS AND FE
VER, DUMB AGUE, OR ANY TORM
OF INTERMITTENT FEVER !
The Greatest DIscoTery of the Age !
THERE arc no diseases so debilitating in
their elTccts upon the constitution as tho
above, and none more difficult to euro by the
usual modes of practice. The Fever and Ague
Powders willcflcct a cure in cases of the long
est standing, as woll as prove a preventive in
the forming stages of disease. Being purely
Vegetable, they act with certainty on the dis
ease, totally eradicating It from tho system,
and preventing a return at any future period.
Why waste your money and health In trying
every medicine yon hear of, when Thompson's
Fever and Ague Powders have never failed to
cure the Chills In any case.
REASONS WHY TnEY ONLY SHOULD BE
USED :
Their Reputation JSttablMud. Thousands
of testimonials have been received, showing
that these Powders have performed miracles lu
curing cases of long standing, many of them
considered hopeless.
Tlurt no Itiik in Taking Hiem. Thoy
contain nothing Injurious, and, therefore, cause
none of those lingering diseases so often the re
sult of the many nostrums of the day. Physi
cians recommoud them as far superior to Qui
nine, or any other known remedy, for they leave
the system In a healthy state, and the patient
beyond tho probability of a relapse.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS. The
genuine are put up In square tin boxes, with
"Thompson's Fever and Ague Powdors"
stamped on the lid, and tho signature of
"Thompson & Crawford," on the wrapper.
No others can possibly bo genuine.
