Farm, Garden and Household, Poultry ParaBltei. The tine of Bftflsnf rsa wood for perches and nest boxes has been repeatedly reo ommcnd as a preventive of vermin in poultry houRes. A recent correspondent of the Poultry Bulletin famishes to that paper an artiole from the American Farmer of 1819, in which it is most positively as serted that sassafras possesses this vir tue. Every year or two this same old Btory is repeated by theorizing writers pn poultry affairs. Why is it that such idle statements so often find their way into print ? In this case it must be owing to a misunderstanding of terms as well as to ignorance of the nature of Borne of our poultry nests. The term " vermin," as used in the article abvo mentioned, is explained to mean chicken Hoe, yet the writer no doubt "referred to what are commonly known ns "jiggers," or chicken mites ; for chicken lice proper live on the bodies of the fowls, while the mites in fest the perches, and trouble the fowls chiefly at night. The chicken mites are to poultry-houses what bedbugs are to human habitations. They suck the blood of the fowls at eight, and hide away in the cracks and crevices of the perches during the day. They belong to tue class of spiders ; while the chick en lice are true insects, a diflerent class altogether. In neglected poultry-houses the mites are sometimes found in great numbers crawling over the perches, neBt, floors and walls, so that a person dare not enter for fear of being over run by them. As the true chicken lice ars never known to accumulate to such an extent, the sassafras preventive is no doubt meant to apply to these swarms of mites rnther than to lice proper ; and now the sarprise is that this pretended preventive (having no foundation at all for reliability, except in the fertile imaginations of some writers gifted with peculiarly sensitive olfactories) should be so often brought to our notice without calling forth the indignant protest of better informed poultry keepers against such senseless theories. We have been in the habit of using sassafras poles in our hen houses for many years past, because they were easily obtained, and besides the bark is just about the right roughness to ad mit of the fowls grasping the perches comfortably ; but the mites seem not to be annoyed in the least by the aroma of the sassafras. Even the free use of whitewash will not dislodge them. We have also freely applied sulphur to the perches, but without much effect. The only means by which we have been able to rid our fowls of these pests has been to well saturate the perches occasion ally with coal oil. This is applied with an old paint brush. The oil is very penetrating and quickly finds its way into the crevices and beneath the loose bark. The same correspondent of the Poul try Bulletin, who has again brought to light this old notion about the virtue of the aromatic sassafras, promulgates this additional piece of information : "The thousand and one remedies recommended to free chickens from lice are thrown into the shade by the fol lowing safe and effectual mixture : A spoonful each of lard oil and powdered sassafras bark ; mix and apply to the head and neck of the chicken, and un der the wings and breast of an old fowl. One application of the work, if carefully clone, is all that is neces-sary." isow tue larrt-oii alone, or common clean lard, win answer every purpose ot tue above mixture. It is the lard, or oil, stopping the breathing pores of the lice, thut kills them so effectually, and the sassafras has nothing to do with it whatever. Some writers have recommended sul phur and lard for the same purpose. but the lard alone will do the work every time, and the chicks are spared the risks of taking cold and being otherwise injuriously affected by the use of sulphur. Prairie Farmer, Salt-Itlslnz Bread. Put 3 teacups of water, as warm as you can bear your finger in, in a two quart cup or bowl, and of a teaspoou ful of salt. Stir in flour enough to make quite a stiff batter. This is for the rising, or emptyings, us some call it. Set the bowl, closely covered, in a kettle, in warm water, as warm as you can bear your finger in, and keep it as near this temperature as possible. No tice the time you sot your rising. In three hours stir in 2 tablespoonfuls of flour ; put it back, and in five and one half hours from the time of setting it will be within one inch of the top of your bowl. It is then light enough and will make up 8 quarts of flour. Make a sponge in the center of your flour with 1 quart of the same temperature ns rising, stir the rising into it, cover over with a little dry flour and put it where it will keep very warm and not scald. In three-fourths of an hour mix this into stiff dough. If water is used, be sure it is very warm and do not work as much as yeast bread. Make the loaves a little larger and keepit warm for another three-quarters of an hour. It will then bo ready to bake. While rising this last time, have your oven heating. It needs a hotter oven than yeast bread. If these rules are followed, you will have bread as white as snow, with a light brown crust, de liriously sweet and tender. WHY FRUIT DECAYS. SUMMARY OF NEWS, Indians at Work. The quiet which has prevailed of late in what may be called the central por tion of the West, says a dispatch fiom Omaha, Nebraska, is believed by well informed armv officers to be due to the fact that the Sioux warriors had been withdrawn to the north to watch Cus- ter's oxoedition. while the southern Chevennes and Arapahoes were oper ating on the Kansas borders. Events indicate that the Sioux have returned to their old country and that they are bolder man ever, xnree war pariies, supposed to be Sioux, dashed into Bra dy Island, a village and railroad station on the Union Pacific, 268 miles west of Omaha, and drove off a number of horses and cattle belonging to residents of the plac9. Section men employed on the railroad report that the Indians numbered about fifteen men in each fiarty, They killed no one in the vil age, but were seen firing at a white man who was walking along the track, and an East-bound passenger train ran over a man at the same place. Exam ination proved that the body was cold and that it had fresh gunshot wounds. An Interfiling Bolentlfla Article on the SuUleet. Our worst enemies, says the Scien tific American, are the smallest. All the ravenous boasts in the world, mad dogs included, probably destroy fewer human lives than are destroyed in New York city alone by the ravages of those minuto but virulent organisms of the genus micrococcus, to which we owe small-pox, diphtheria, and some other malignant diseases. Similarly, the thousand sturdy weeds which annoy the farmer, the caterpillars and grass hoppers which occasionally devour his crops, are relatively innooent and harm iess compared with the numerous mi oroscopio pests which rust his grain, rot his potatoes and fruit, and other wise levy their burdensome taxes with out making themselves visible. Just at this Beason, not the least in teresting of these individually insigni ficant, collectively enormous, nuisances are the two forms of fungus growth which have most to do with the nntime. ly destruction of fruit mucor mucedo and pencillium glancum. Our apples decay, not because it is their nature to, as Watts might say, bnt because it is the nature of some thing else to seize on them for subsist ence, as we do, at the same time mak ing of them a habitat, as we do not. Kept to themselves, apples and otner fruit never rot ; they simply Ioho their juices by evaporation, shrivel, and be come dry and hard, or, if kept from drying, remain substantially un changed, as when securely canned. It is only when invaded by the organisms wo nave named that they lose color and duality, take on offensive tastes and odors, become oovered' with white or green mold in short, develop rotten ness and decay. It was not until the microscope was brought to bear that the real nature of , the process became clear. Now we know that, so far from being the com plement of growth, the antithesis of life, decay is in reality the taking on of a more rapid though specifically dif ferent growth. It is synonymous not with deuth, but with intensely active life. In general structure, the numerous, microscopies fungi ore very much alike, consisting mainly of a network of color less colls and filaments, called the mycelium. This is the vegetative part. There is, besides, a productive part, in which is produced the seed or "spore," the structure of which is different in the different genera. In the mucor each reproductive filament bears a globular swelling at its superior ex tremity, in the interior of which the spores are developed. In the pencil lium glaucnm the reproductive filament bears a tuft of from four to eight branches, which, in turn, produce upon their extremities a chaplet of small oval spores. It is called pencillium on account of this pencil-like tuft of its spore-bearing filaments, and glancum from their bluish green tint. The mold so frequently seen in oranges is produced by this fungus. It is com paratively of slow growth, and the al teration it produces in the properties of the fruit it lives in and upon is not so marked as that caused by the mucor. When a fruit is invaded by either of these fungi, the vegetative filaments send their branches among and around the fruit cells, and rapidly envelop them in a network of mycelium, ab sorbing the substance and juice of the fruit, and producing the chemical transformation characteristic of decay All this goes on in the interior of the fmit, the fructification of tb.9 fungus taking place only on the surface, m contact with the atmosphere. For this reason fruit covered with a firm, fine skin, like the apple, may bo a mass of what we call corruption within in other words, thoroughly decomposed by fungus growth while no visible mold the fructifying part appears on the surface. On the other hand, thin skinned fruits like the strawberry, which are easily pierced by the repro ductive filaments, are often covered with an abundant fructification in a very short time, for the fecundity of these microscopic fungi is sometimes as marvelous us the rapidity of their growth. For example : A single zoospore of the peronospora infest ans, which causes the potato rot, will en velop the cellular tissue of a potato leaf with mycelium nlameuts in twelve hours, and fructification will be com pleted in eighteen hours longer. One square line of the under surface of a leaf, where the fructification naturally takes place, may bear as many as three thousand spores. Each spore supplies half a dozen zoospores, individually capable of originating a new myoelium. From one square line, therefore, there may come, in less than two days, near ly twenty thousand reproductive bodies, and a square inch may yield nearly three millions I No wonder the disease spreads rapidly. In the case of fruit, decay may be originated in two ways, and two only by direct contagion or by wind-wafted spores. With firm-skinned fruit like apples, still another condition is essen tial, namely, a break in the skin of the fruit to allow the parasite to enter and take possession. In every case of de cay in apples, the center of disturbance will be found at a bruise, scratch, or puncture : and unless such a way bo opened, the apple may hang until it is dry as leather, or it may lie for weeks in direct contact with rottenness, and remain perfectly sound. To this it may be objected that the constant presence of the fungus in de cay is no proof that it is the cause of that condition, on the contrary, the breokinsr down of the fruit tissue by violence, and subsequent chemical action owing to access of air, may rather make the growth of the fungus possible by preparing a suitable sou for its do velopinent. The objection has been met in the investigations of Davaine, The evidence that the fungus precedes und causes the changes which, we call decay is of the same character as that which establishes the connection be tween a vaccine pustule and inoculation by vaccine virus. When sound fruit is inoculated with the spores of penoil lium, decay begins at and spreads from the point of inoculation. Apples similarly wounded, but not mooulated, remain the same.

Treatment n Hay Fever, Professor Bina, of Jttonn, writes to Nature that from what he has observed of reoent English publications on the subject of hay fever, he is led to rup pOBe that the English authorities are not accurately acquainted with tho dis covery of Professor Helmholtz in 1808, that certain uncommon low organisms are present in the nasal secretions in this complaint, and that quinine ar rests their action. ProfesRor Helm holtz has been subject to this disease since 1817, and from the fact that the attack always commences in his case between May 20 and the end of June, he was led to the suspicion that organ isms might be the cause of the mis chief. Examination with the immer sion lens of a very good miorosoope proved the presence of vibrio-like bodies which he could never find at other seasons in the nasal secretions. Remembering the poisonous action of quinine upon infusoria, he made a weak neutral solution of sulphate of qui nine, containing one part of the salt to eight hundred of water. This was ef fective enough, and caused moderate irritation of the mucous membrane. Lying flat on his back he poured from a pipette about four cubic centimeters inte the nostrils, turning the head abont in order to let the liquid flow in all directions. This produced tho de sired effect. He could expose himself to the sun without bringing on tho fits of sneezing and tho other disagreeable symptoms, and it was sufficient to re peat the treatment three times a day even under the most unfavorable cir cumstances. One treatment a day is enough if he ges out only in the even ing. No vibrios are then found in tho secretion. After treatment for some days the symptoms disappear com pletely, but the treatment must be kept up until the end of tho time during which the attack would ordinarily make its appearance. In Professor Helmholtz's case this is, as boforo said, between May 20 and June 30. ntkino- ViAB Gentlemen have behn troubled for want of a paper collar more closely 'resembling : linen, .This ja tnem m tne iMmwooa uui . surface that must certainly be linen from the quality, and foldod edges that prevent Its looking like paper.

The habits of wild horses are well worth studying, for in some particulars they possess almost human intelligence. They choose their own chief, which gives the signal for departure.

Then the pedler starts out and puts them on the people in varions ways.

The Mason & Hamlin Organ Co. have recently announced a plan which is likely to interfere with this business. This Company, as is well known, makes only the best work, which, by its uni form excellence, nas obtained tne nign est reputation for their organs. They proved the best, and obtained the high est awards at the recent Vienna ana Paris World's Expositions, as they have uniformly done in American In dustrial competitions. The lact tnat these organs are the best in the world is too well established to need further endorsement. The Company have now added a large new factory to their former extensive works, and design to greatly increase their business. This they propose to do by offering organs for time pay ments, or for rent with privilege of pur chase, at barely sufficient advance on the cash prices to afford a reasonable interest for the time. An organ may be hired by the quarter with privilege of purchase at any time in one year or longer. If purchased within the year, the whole cost, including rent paid, is only five to ten per cent, more than if the casn nau been paid aown at me oe ginning.
