' rntCKK.N MILK FOR IXVAt.ID9.
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.

TIIE BELITTLING INCUBATOR.
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

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,

that the drink tratlle is productive of wealth,
snys: "The man who goes to-night and breaks

neither the burglar, gambler, nor the pick

TnE CSS OF ALCOHOL AS A VKDICINB.
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." It con
tains no alcohol to inebriate ; no
yrup or sugar to derange di
gestion. As peculiar in its cura
tive effects as in its composition.
Equally good for adults or children.
