Corn meal dough is not sufficient food
for chicks, but when each mess of the
corn meal la mixed with fresh milk, in

lncreaed. Chicks should, however, have
variety of food, nnd will eat any kind
of seeds or small grain, especially broken
wheat. Milk is excellent, but the chicks
are liable to Ret wet with it, or the milk
may become too sour and breed disease.
If mixed with corn meal, and the mess

Every clear running stream of water,
if no great depth, may be easily mndc to
grow a crop of salad in the form of water
cress without juice. A little seed scat
tered on the upper part of tho stream
will, of itself, soon crop all down
stream.
In the absence of seeds a planting of
slips on the banks, although a Blower
process, is equally certain, as, after the
first year, seeding will take place nnd a
sure crop follow. The kind of location
selected for the growth of the crop for
market is the low bottom lands liable to
overflow on the banks ol the river. Hero,
if it can be so managed that a spot c in
le selected where the water by sluice
ways can be let o so as to cover the beds
a few inches deep of water and yet nil
the time renew itself so ns not to get
stagnant, then the very state of things is
at hand for a good water crew bed.
' So last do our wants increase that in
all large cities there is a demand for fresh
voting water cress the year round. Hut
this is to feed the epicure mostly. The
time of all times when a good dish of
water cress is tasty, is the first crop in
tho spring, and almost the first out-side

;" ABPSINO SHEEP.
t We have heard of sheep being ncd to
restore fertility to woinout land, nnd
have read that they were quite efficient
in the destruction of various kind of
weeds. But, according to nn Ohio farmer
who recently gave his experience at one
of the county iustitutes, they may bo
trained to render even greater service.
This man turns part of his flock on land
'infested with bushes, briers and weeds,"
and keeps them there u few days com
pelling them to do "Sennenger duty" by
eating these foul growths. Vhe animals
are then turned into a better pasture and
another portion of the flock is set to
work clearing the bushy ground. The
process is repeated until the land is thor
oughly cleared. A writer who has re
ported the matter to the National Stock
man and Farmer, says that "by thus
starving them" the sheep will "eat all
kinds of weeds and bushes, with no per
manent loss of flesh or health," and adds
that he bos seen some of the land which
was "well and cheaply" cleared in this
manner. After threo or four seasons of
this kind of clearing, the land is ready
to plow and there is "no hard, laborious
grubbing or breaking of plows or strain
ing teams plowing away roots." We do
not doubt that sheep can be made to clear
the land of bushes and weeds, but it must
be pretty hard work for the sheep and
also be an expensive method for their
owner. A man can drive a nail with a
good watch, but it is cheaper for him to
use a hammer.
So a man can clear land by tho use of
sheep, but an ax and a bush scythe would
enable him to do the work to better ud -vantage.

YOLSO STOCK.
Fully matured stock can endure violent
charges of food with much less disturb
ance of tho system than can young ani
mals still growing. Therefore, specially
good management is necessary iu chang
ing the young things from the dry feed
of w inter to the unripe grasses of spring.
If the change is made sudduuly an ut
taet of scours will check their growth
for a mouth perhaps. If ensilage and
roots have been fed during the winter.
the change to grass will not cause such
disturbance as would occur iu a change
from dry hay, which is the usual ration
of young stock on most farms. Such
changes are best made gradually, and
some dry feed should be given each day
at the stable, or from troughs or racks at
the pasture gute, until the grosses gain
ubsUtuce. Many farmers send their
ftock to the pastures too early in spring
for the good either of the stock or the
pastures. The ground when the snow
Las recently left it is soft and tuturutcd
with water. Turuing cattle upou it at
ueh a time is specially harmful to the
1 grass roots. The deterioration of so
many pastures can doubtless be largely
traced to this practice. Many farmers
turn their spring calves out to posture
during their first season. Though a fow
may occasionally thrive under this
treatment, most of them come to the bain
iu the fall about one-half as large as they
should be at that age. Stable care and
feed, w ith a yard to run in duriug pleas
ant weather, but with free access to cover
duriug the heat of the day, has been
found by many progressive farmers to
give much the best remits. Skim milk,
with a little oatmeal, bran, crushed oats,
and clover buy, will give growth to de
light the funner eye, while the develop
ment thus secure 1 in the kind needed to
make good dairy cows of the heifer
calves, provided they Bre of good dairy
blood. Lambs uie uot usually w .'uued
uutil some time after they come to gross.
With them, therefore, the ch stiffs from
winter to spring ration la not likely to
co mo serious trouble. But sma.ll fcel
of bran or outs ech day for awhile, after
they go to pasture, will be well returned
in extra growth. Keep the young stock
growing thriftily. American Aorieultur'

Oil Ponds Iu the Gulf.
Between the mouth of the Mississippi
IUver and Galveston, Texas, ten or fif
teen miles south of Sabine Pass, is a spot
in the Gulf of Mexico which is common
ly called "the Oil Ponds" by the cap
tains of the small crafts which ply in
that vicinity. There is no land within
fifteen miles, but even in the wildest
weather the water at this spot is com
paratively calm, owing to. the thick cov
ering ot oil which apparently rises from
the bed of the gulf, which is here about
fifteen to eighteen, feet beneath the sur
face. This strange refuge is well known
to sailors who run on tho small vessels
trading between Calcasieu, Orange, Sa

through stress of weather they fail to
muke harbor elsewhere, they run for

WHEH MOTHS ARB PLENTIFUL.
Just now when moths are to plentiful
it is well for housekeepers to bear in
mind that it is not tho flying moth that
causes the trouble. The moth lays from
eighteen to 146 eggs at a time. In from
three to seven days these hatch out into
little worms, which spin a tiny case for
themselves from the cariet, fur or other
material containing animal substance in
which they were laid. All tho damage
is done in thirty-six days from the timo
tho eggs were laid until the grub reaches
its full the. Two things are sure death
benzine spray and Pans green or any
arsenicnl preparation, but they are both
so dangerous that few can use them.
Camphor, or even camphor tar, are only
partially repellent to tho flvinir mouth
nnd have no effect whatever upon tho
grub, so that furs and garments may bo
locKott up with pounds or camphor and
when opened found eaten to pieces. The
benzine spray is the lest known preven
tive against moths, but a litrht should
not bo brought in the room where it has
been used until it has been well aired.

CLEANING rURSITCRB.
A correspondent of the Country Gentle
man says: "Carefully removo all particles
of dust from corners and crevices of fur
nituie, nnd then rub thoroughly with a
small cloth dipped occasionally in boiled
linseed oil ; afterwards rubbing it uutil
dry with a larger flannel cloth. If you
prefer tho gloss of varnish, you can apply
that with equal success, though it re
quires more time and skill to do so. Buy
only the best quality, and this of a rclia
blo dealer. IT thick, cut it with spirits
of turpentino uutil it flows freely and
smoothly; if you are in a hurry, add a lit
tle Japan or drier. Take but a little on
the brush, and bo careful not only to
touch every part but to see that it does
not run down and permanently injure tho
looks of the work."
For polishing the tops of tables, stands,
etc., use tho following preparation! Take
one ounce of yellow rosin und a pint ol
raw linseed oil, melt tho rosin in a pip
kin or other earthen vessel placed in a
kettle of boiling water. When melted,
add to it by degrees one-half of the oil;
nnd when thoroughly mixed together,
aid by degrees the remainder. Wash
the furniture thoroughly with warnl
water, and wipo perfectly dry before ap
plying the polish. Put it on with pad
made by tying a small ball of cotton in
a flannel cloth; polish first with a flannel
cloth, and afterward with chamois. I)
you make the polish carefully, aud rub
it thoroughly, your table will reflect
whatever you place on it. In whatever
manuer you renovate furniture, great
care should be taken in cleaning it
thoroughly. Use a worn paint brush, or
a small regetablo brush, to remove the
dust from corners, crevices of moulding,

flour. Dissolve one teaspoonful soda in
the milk. Take of cloves, cinnamon,
allspice and nutmeg each one teaspoon
ful. If fruit cake is desired add one cup
of currants or raisins, or one-half cup of
each.
Egg Sauce Boil half a pint of milk,
and stir into it as much flour mixed with
cold water as will thicken it. Then take
it off the fire, and beat in gradually

In a shallow urn. All tho floor npnce in
covered with matting. From the) cell
ing hang numerous delicate Chain! ter
minating in nn ornamental hook fot hold

Is a little niche reaching down to the
floor. A flight of stairs leads td a small
platform behind a screen j here on Fri
days, the Moslem Sabbath; stand the
preacher, looking over the screen, but
tho mosque is open fdr worshipers: al
ways. One day I saw a Moor come Into the
mosque. At tho door he dropped his
slippers from his foot, picked thorn up in
his hand, walked over tho matting to tho
open enclosure, dropped his slippers and
deftly thrust his feet into them and
stepped to the fountain; there dipping
his bunds often in tho trickling wntcr,
ho washed his mouth, his eycst his ears,
then his face and neck, then the arms to
the elbows, his hands, lastly bis) feet and
legs to the knees. That was to typify
tho purifying of what ho said, saw and
heard, his deeds and his walks.
Then ho came iuto the mosquo .ngaiu,
nnd, dropping his slippers by his Bido,
stood facing Mecca tho niche in tho
wnll is tt show which is the side toward
Mecca, the holy city of tho Mohamme
dans; they always turn their facts toward
it whon they pray. Standing there, lib
began to ssy words inaudible, to us, but
we could see tho motions of his mouth.
After a few moments ho kneeled down,
still speaking; after another litt'e whilo
he bent forward, nnd, leaning upon his
hands, laid his forehead on tho floor;
afterward ho raised his body nnd head
erect, and then stood up ns first, only to
go throiifrh this routine for threo times,
not interrupting his words, only chtu
giug his position nt regular intervals.
After lie had finished his prayer he
picked up his slippers nnd came to tho
door, dropped thorn ou the threshold,
njjniu thrust his feet into them, and
walked away. With Aieakt.

willing to believe, and spend the-one
for the relief of the other, they will
stay so. John H. Foster, 1123"

" My wife ia n little Scotch woman,'

Every Meal, down to a meal but
she had to vomit it

She can now eat anything, and enjoy
