Chicken milk for invalids is prepared this way: Cut a chicken into small pieces and see that it has been cleaned in tho most careful manner, removing tho skin. Put it into a china-liiie'd sauce pan with tho bones and neck, the white part of a head of celery and the stalks (not leaves) of a fresh "bunch of jwrsley, a few peppercorns nnd a little salt. Cover the meat with cold water, nnd let it simmer till it is in rags nnd falls from tho bones. Strain into" a flat basin or large bowl. When cold it should be iu a stiff, clc:ir jelly. Care fully, with a skimmer, take, oil tho grease, and then take n soft, clean, pan try towel, dipped in hot water, and gcu tly wipe over tho top of the jelly with it, so that no particle of greasy matter can possibly remain. Take equal quantities -tHhia jelly nnd fresh milk, put them in to a small chiua-lined sauce pan, nnd let them boil together. Boil up tho mixture three times nnd strain into a cup. A teacupful is gciicrally considered suffi cient at a time. Tiny (strips of dry toast are an agreeable addition. It can be eaten hot, or allowed to cool and form again into jelly, according to taste.

With all her smashing of eggs the hen does not destroy one-quarter what incu bators do, as hens hatch certainly twenty five per cent, more chicks than do tho reasonably good incubators, nnd ten times as mnny ns the poor ones, and the chicks are, as a rule, stronger when hatched, and grow up larger fowls, and lay larger eggs. There is not, up to this time, a breeder who has used nono but his own stock, who has used incubators for the past four years, that his fowls are not of small average size and his eggs smaller than they were from his "flock four years ago. I tell you, sometimes it will make one-quarter the difference in tho weight of the eggs between tho size of the eggs set in the incubators and tho size of the eggs the stock raised out of these in the incubator lay. Denver Chicien. ENSILAGE FOOD MAKES RICH MILK. Iloard'i Dairyman states as a hard fact that more fat exists in milk mado from cows fed on ensilage than in milk of cows fed on dry food. Ensilage contains more fatty matters than the green corn or tho corn dried in tho usual way, and it is confessedly richer in fat than simple dry corn fodder. Then it is a hard fact, too, that tho more fat in the food the more there is in tho butter. This hard fact, admitted now by many scientific persons who formerly disputed it, is dnwning on tho consciousness of the dairymen who pinned their faith on the mistakes of these scientific persons, but who have not been so ready to acknowledge or forget tho misleading. "Practice makes per fect" not only in mechanical manipula tion but in intelligent deduction from premises learned by observation. And when a dairyman finds that the richer the cows' food is in fat the more butter tho cows will yield he has approached that stage of comprehension when ho will make it a point of practice to select tho best foods for the fat contained for the feeding oih,i&-fcws"' - TO DESTROY LICE. Sulphur is advocated ai a lice destroy er. It is recommended to dust the hen with it or put it in their dust bath, claiming that tho heat from tho body generates a gas which destroys the lice. It is accepted by nearly everybody that this is a fact, yet it is au erroneous idea. The fact of tho heat from the body gen erating gas is absurd, and for destroying lice it is a folly. If you wish to use sul phur in any form give it in dry weather internally, and only externally for scurvy leg. To kill lice effectually several reme dies may bo resorted to. Lard to which is added about one-third kerosene oil, well mixed together and applied lightly under the wings, behind the comb anc around the vent, will usually dissipate vermin. Insect powder is very good and sure, but costly. Kerosene oil is sure death to lice, but in its raw state would be too irritating to tho flesh of the hen, and I conceived the idea of using it in the following manner with gratifying re sults : Take a five cent bar of soap, shave it fine, dissolve it in enough boiling water to make it thick, stir iu a pint of kerosene oil and add boiling water slow ly, stirring quickly so the oil will not float on top. Let it cool down to blood heat. Now take your fowl and hold it iu the mixture, head out, with your hand rub it well into tho feathers, rub them down and keep them confined in a warm place. I)o this on a dry, warm day, and it won'Ohurt them as much as being out in the rain all day. I am as afraid of lice as of roup, canker, swelled head or cholera. The other pest is tho small red lice, which will reduce a flock about as quick as disease if they get tho upper hand, but urc more easily disposed of. Completely cover the poles with pure kerosene oil and they will never trouble you any more. Orange County Farmer. PEA BUGS OR PEA WEEVILS. Tho pea weevil is ono of those instil ioui pests which is very difficult, if not impossible, to control. It is constantly increasing in numbers, and has already become so abundant aud widely dissemi- nuteU tliat there are few localities in the United States where peas are not infested with weevils, and for this reason are not fit for seed. For many years nearly all the sesd peas sold by our seedsmen have been imported either from Europe or Canada, but of lato the peas raised in Canada are becoming iufested with this pest. Tho weevils are so small and of such a dull color that.they are rarely seeu iu the field and gardbn when ut work upon tha growing crop. The female beetles deposit their ei(gs upon tho green pods, and the minute grubshatched from these bore through the pods into the peas within, tho hole made by tho grubs clos iug up u the pciu eulurge. iu growth. When wj gather green peas for the taW the minute grubs within are not seen, and no one but the entomologist suspects their presence, but they are there all the same and go into the pot, W'hPa the peas are left to mature and gathered for seed or Other purposes tho gruls are present and eating away tho substance, but a few weeks later they change to the pupn stngo, and from this to the perfect beetlo or weevil form by tho following spring, whr-rlj If kept In a warm placo, they will cut a holo in the skin of the peas and es cape, and this accounts for the holes in your seed peas about which you inquire. As the weevils are scaled up within tho peas during tho fall and winter it is veiy difficult to reach them with poison or kill them without destroying the vitality of the peas. If wanted only for feeding purposes the grubs within can be killed by subjecting tho peas to a high tcm- peraturs for a few moments in a drying kiln, but this would render them worth less for planting. The only practical system to pursue with this insect is to bo careful not to plant weevil-infested seod, and if all farmers make this a general practice tho wccviU would in a few years become far less numerous and destructive than at present. jVt York Sun, FARM AND GARriRX. Do you know what each crop costs! For hard times, industry and econ omy. Secure good holp for both field and kitchen. Newly set trees are ofton given too much water. Can we produco English mutton with out feeding turnips? Keep the raspberry canes pinched back about threo feet high. Before using it, sift all dairy salt through a hair sieve. Let the boys and girls prepare some thing to show at the fair. Good cattlo will not remain good on poor pasture and short feed. Remove all useless growth from fruit trees while it is young and tender. Rich, moist land is essential to the production of nice, succulent vegetables. Insect powder, freely dusted on, will destroy ants and other insects on shrub bery. Burn tho limbs' trimmed from your fruit trees. By so doing you will destroy many insect pcuts. Destroy nil blackberry and raspberry canes ns fast as they become useless, and thus destroy insects. Iu trimming cut off all limbs that cross each other. Leave only what grow upward and outward. Feed your fruit trees if you want them to feed you with good fruit. Try man uring on an old orchard. Plan to have a good supply of vegeta bles to store away for winter as well as during the growing season. All young animals should be brought under tho process of education from the very beginning of their lives. When tho udder is inflamed milk fre quently and apply cold water. If it is a very bad case apply a linseed mesl poul tice. Give the birds chopped onions occa sionally. They nro among tho best of foods, and are often preventivo against disease. Meehan, tho Philadelphia horticultur ist, says tho fibrous roots, like the leaves, perform their function for the season and then die. Breed well, and when you havo heifer calf as the result of such breeding, feed well and train properly and you will have a good cow. It costs at least two ounces of butter per cow before tho effect of a bad fright, caused by a strange dog running through tho milkyard, wears away. If that dog iusists upon l)aT'3g'iun' with the cows on their way to or from me pasture luiy-lnm Wjtu somo cold cnu if there is no other way to stop him. Let tho laziest man or boy and the best-natured one drive tho cows to and from tho pasture, and never complain about his slowness if ho keeps tho cows moving. If you are sending a mixed lot of hens to market it will pay to grade them, so as to have each coop as evenly as possi ble. They will sell more rapidly and at better prices. Look out for the rats and other ver min. Inesc things greatly lessen the profit of the poultry business. For stop, ping up holes broken glass in cement or mortar is excellent. Are you crowding too many chickens into ono roosting place? Are you per mitting chickens under four months to roost other than on floor or coop? If so, correct these mistakes. During tho warm weather have made a frame large enough to cover the milk tank; cover this with mosquito bar. This will keep out insects, and at the same time not interfere with tho heat passing off from the milk. Tho practice of testing cows for milk and butter, was until ten or twolve years ago, almost unheard of, but with in that time, and especially during the last half of the period, some astonishiug results have been demonstrated. The Pearls of Bahrein. The pearl fishery is tho great occupa tion of the Buhreinee. Tho pearls of their seas are celebrated for their firm ness, and do not peal. They aro com monly reported to lose one per cent, au nually for fifty years in color and water, but after that they remain the same. They have seven skins, whereas tho Cin galese pearls have only six. The mer chants generally buy them wholesale by tho old Portuguese weight of the chao. They divide them iuto different sizes with sieves and sell them iu India, so that, as is usually tha case w ith special ties, it is impossible to buy a good pearl iu Bahrein. Cornhill Magazine.

Dr. Grosvenor, in the Buffalo Medical Journal, gives the following concise sum mary of his viows respecting tho medicinal use of alcohol: 1. Grave responsibility rests upon the medi cal profession in the use of alcohol as a medi cine, on account of its deleterious influence upon the system and the liability of the pa tient to contract the habit of using it as a beverage. 3. Alcohol being an acrid narcotic poison, the bottle containing it should be labeled, "Poison," as a reminder of this characteristic, and a warning to handle it with care. 3. Alcohol; containing none of the com pounds which enter iuto the construction of the tissues, connot properly bo termed a tissue-forming food. 4. The evidence in favor of the existence of a heat-generating quality in alcohol is not sufficient to warrant the belief that it is a heat-producing food. 6. As a narcotic and anesthetic, alcohol has a limited sphere of adaptation, and is much less valuable than several other nar cotics and anasthetics.

Oh the tnericl the consumptive who's not be reft of judgment and good sense. He's taking Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery. If taken in time and given a fair trial, it will effect a euro. Consumption is Lung-scrofula. For Scrofula, In its myriad forms, and for all Liver, Blood and Lung diseases, tho " Dis covery" is an unequalled remedy. It's the only puarantcr nie. If it doesn't benefit or en -u get your money back. Yo y pay for tho good you get. " Discovery " strengthens "Weak Lungs, and cures Spitting of Blood, Shortness of Breath, Bronchitis, Sevcro Coughs, and kindred affec tions. Don't be fooled into taking something else, said to bo " just as good," that the dealer may make a larger profit. There's nothing at all liko tho "Discovery."
