As liens in confinement oftonRcqniro a habit of pulling feathers from each other's bends nnd necks, the loss of feathers is probably duo to this cause; otherwise it is due to some disease which may result from too free feed ing with grain. The fowls should be watched, and if it is not caused by tho mutual picking of each other, the feed should leclinnfred and more fresh, preen food, as cabbago leaves, cut grass, or clover, or chopped lettuce and pea vines, be fed to them. A mess of Bcalded bran with a little sulphur in it will be good for tho fowls. New York Times. TBEATMKNT OP INJtTMOl'S IN8R0TS.

In early summer, plant lice may be numerous on plums and cherries, which should be sprayed with kerosene emulsion. In July, spray potatoes with London purple or Paris green, if infested with potato beetles. In August and September, cabbage worms may bogin to appear, and can bo treated by spraying with hot water, or with pyrethrum in water, or as a powder. Cherry slugs and tho leaf eating caterpillars and other insects on plums and other trees may be sprayed with London purple. Kerosene emul sion may be used directly on the in sects, and will kill all it touches by en tering the breathing pores. American Agriculturist. OFF COLOR OP CHICKS. If you procured eggs of pure-bred fowls, and the chicks seem to differ and appear of various colors, do not be dis appointed, as the chicks will be of the proper color when matured. Of the black breeds of fowls, such as tho Lang- elians, uiacK Mmocrasand UlackHpan- isn, tuo chicks nearly always have a large proport ion of white on them when hatched. It is an old saying that the more white on the chicks of such breeds tho blacker the plumage at maturity. We havo often noticed broods of Wyandottes or'Indian game chicks, no two in tho broods being alike, and dif fering so greatly as to lead an inex perienced person to suppose that the chicks were mongrels ; yet when they came to maturity it was a difficult mat ter to select tho best ono in tho flock, so fur as the plumage was concerned. Krnhmaa, Uochms, Plymouth Bocks and other breeds may also bo classed among the uncertainties until the chirks are well advanced, and for that reason breeders often receive complaints from customers in regard to their hatches ; but tho breeders simply advise them to wait a while, when tho matter rights itself. Mirror and Farmer. HOW TO MAKE CHEE8S AT HOME. Have a tinman solder a faucet near the bottom of one end of an ordinary tin wash boiler which will hold five or six pailfuls. Fit a movable tin screen inside about three inches from tho faucet and extending about the same distance above it, which shall hold the curd away from the faucet. Thie, with a long wooden paddle, is all you need order especially for tho work, except chceso cloth, rennet and a cheese press. bix pailfuls of sweet milk, with the cream all in it, will make about fifteen pounds of cheese. It need not be of one milking if it is perfectly sweet Put the milk in the boiler on the stove and heat it to eighty degrees. Remove from tho stove and add the rennet. The tablets are easiest to use and the directions accompany them. When the milk has coagulated, which will take place in ten minutes or less, it must be cut to the bottom of the boiler each way, making about two inch squares. Ihe whey will begin to start almost at once. Sink a small dipper into it slowly, and the whey may be removed gradually until two quarts or more have been collected. Heat this rather hot, sot scalding, and pour it over tho curd, stirring it very care fully. When at 100 degrees open the faucet and allow the whey to drain out, dipping it out from the top as be fore described. Whendralncd, sprinkle half a teacupful of dairy salt on tho curd and crumble and mix it thor oughly with the hands. Have a square of strong, loosely woven cloth wet and placed in the cheese hoop, which should be the size of a peck measure. Press the curd into the hoop, adjust the cover, after the cloth has been folded on the top of the curd, and sub mit the cheese to gentle pressure. Prepare a bandage of cheese cloth large enough to go around tho chceso and wide enough to nearly cover the ends. Lay on the ends another piece and sew to the piece around the cheese. Keep at seventy degrees in a dry room. Too much salt or too much scalding w hen heating the curd hardens tue cheese, while careless stirnnar starts the "white whey" and allows much of the butter fats to escape. New England Homestead. pnopiT IN POHK. With pork at its present price, al most any mun can feed his corn, or other eTrain, to 1'H'h uud make a nut is fuetory profit, declares, S. Woodward. of New York. But timet will chance : pork will again go down until it will ho so low that the very best skill will be required to get any profit out of its growth. If it be wise, now in the midiit of almoBt universal peace, for the Nations to spend such viu,t sums as they do, 10 preparing for wur. how much wiser for the farmer during this time of prosperity in jug growing to study the subject so as to lie prepared when the evil duys of low prices come unaiii. It is surprising to see how little thought tho average pig grower gives to the mutter of cheap produc tion of pork. Although there is some Chacgti m the direct ivu of killing lighter pigs, yet tho great bulk of tho pork still coming into the. markets is in heavy carcasses which were fed mostly on corn. Now this is neither tho most desirable, nor is it by any means the most profitable pork. On a recent visit to tho Wisconsin Experiment Station at Madison, Pro fessor W. A. Henry, who is a born ex perimenter, showed mo some experi ments now being made, and the un published results of some already made on the samo lino of pig feeding for most profit. If the farmers could see what I saw, and realize fully the great importance of the principles that con trol animal life, and then follow them, they would save very much of what is now ignorantly thrown away, and would more than double the profits of pork making, by reducing to its lowest limit the amount of food now used as a maintenance ration or simply food for support. Tho Professor has demonstrated, beyond doubt, by a series of careful experiments, that the maintenance ra tion is in equal proportion to live weight, or nearly so ; that while a 100 pound pig requires one and one-half pounds of food (one pound of wheat middlings and two pounds of corn meal), simply to keep it without gain or loss, a 500-pound pig, under liko conditions, requires five pounds of the same food for its support. Ho further showed that about three pounds of this same food, in addition to either ration, made one pouud of pork. Now, were a man to try to make pork with these pigs, witji the ono he would get one pound for each four and one-half pounds fed ; with the other he would feed eight pounds. For comparison, suppose the mixture were worth $20 per ton, or one cent per pound in tho cose of 100-pound pigs, his pork would cost four and ono-half cents per pound ; in the case of a 500 pound pig it would cost eight. Or, to put it in another light, suppose ten pigs bo fed four and one-half pounds of feed each, or forty-five pounds in the aggregate, they w ill give a gain of ten pounds of pork. In other words, with those pigs forty-five pounds of feed will give ten pounds of pork. Now, if the same food be given to pigs weighing 500 pounds each, it will feed just pine of them five pounds each, but as with pigs of this size it takes five pounds as tho food of support, no gain would be made. The food would be simply thrown away, so far as fat tening purposes go. If these nino larger pigs be fed to make ono pound of gain each, it would require twenty seven pounds extra. This added to the forty-five pounds, maintenance ra tion, makes seventy-two pounds of feed to make nine pounds of pork. It will be seen that these experiments of Pro fessor Henry show that the mainte nance ration, while not exactly in pro portion to the live weight, is approx imately so. They show that while it took ono and one-half pounds-to sup port the gTowing 100-pound pig, that one pound per hundred pounds was sufficient with the 500-pound pig. This is easily accounted for by tho fact that there is less proportionate amount of exterior surface in the larger pigs, no growth, and probably less activity. But currying this proportion in the di rection of a pig still smaller than 100 pounds, it would probably require with a pig weighing twenty-five pounds at tho rate of two pounds per 100 pounds, or about one-half pound of food as a maiutenace ration. If this bo true, it would then only take three and one-half pounds with this pig to grow one pound of pork. Further experiments by Professor Henry show very conclusively that corn or corn meal is, by no means, the best food for pork growing, though gooa lor fattening, wheat middlings ho found much better thuu corn alone. He also found, by careful experiments, several times repeated, that 1200 pounds of corn meal and 1582 pounds of skim milk produced as much growth as 500 pounds of the middlings meal mixture and a better growth than 500 pounds of clean 'corn meal. In this we see that five pounds of skim milk are about equal to one pound of meal. The les son lor the pig feeder in the experi ments is to feed young, thrifty pigs, and to feed them on a mixture of corn meal and wheat middlings, and never to feed them beyond 150 pounds dressed weight. American Agriculturist. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Lettuce is a good food for the poul try. Do not feed the poultry unless thov need it. The eggs should bo gathered at least twice daily. A good dust bath is a necessity for healthy fowls. Give tho chickens plenty of fresh air and sunshine. Milk, either skim or butter, is ex cellent for chickens. Tigs grow well on grass, clover being especially good for pasturing them Oil. he amount of eggs laid is largely governed by liberal but wise feed ing. Filthy quarters aro responsible for the greater part of the so-called hog cholera. Give the hogs plenty of pure water and they will not drink out of their wullows. Cabbage, sunflower seed, millet and sorghum are excellent feeds for chickens. Too much cure cuunot bo tukon dur ing the warm weather to keep tho slop burrel sweet. From five to seven pounds of evapo rated fruit can be secured from one bushel of apples. Apples from sprayed trees will keep longer than those from trees thut havo not been sprayed.

Chopltho yolks of six eggs and one of tho whites, and mash to a paste, with a tcaspoonful of melted butter audi one of anchovy paste; spread on thSu slices of buttered bread, double audVtrini into shape. Caviare, which mayVho bought at Italian and French gmoeries and delicatessen stores, and is packed in little ounce jars, makes vgood hot weather sand wiches. Auy kind of cheese, grated, or mashed to a paste, ar.d spread on buttered breml, with or without tho addition of cayenno pepper, makes appetizing sandwiches. Cottage cheese is nice, with a leaf of crisp let tuce laid over itlbefore tho top slico is put on. Sweetbreads- Lamb swoctbroads aro almost as good as those of veal, aud are infinitely chuiper. Soak them in cold water for several hours, changing tho water twice ; throw into boiling water and let them simmer for five minutes after the boiling point is reached, then fry, and Bervo around a mound of green peas or asparagus tips. They aro nice always with brown or tomato sauce. Koastiug a Leg of Lamb However epicurean rare mutton may be, rare lamb is as uuedible as rare broiled chioken. A leg weighing sis pounds should bo roasted an hour and a half in a good oven. Lay the meat on a rack in tho dripping pan and baste every fifteen minutes. Do not remove tho fat before roasting, but wrap it around, and skewer it fast. Julienne Soup There is no better spring or summer soup. It is very simply made by adding a cupful of finely shredded vegetables, cooked tender, to a quart of any light broth. Simmer ten minutes, and serve. Young carrots turnips, radishes, string beans, peas, asparagus tips, and minced lettuce, parsley and chives all go to make the complete Julienne. Lamb Chops An unusual way of cooking these is as follows: Broil them for two minutes, then spread over them a forcemeat made of un cooked chicken meat, pounded to a paste, with the same bulk of thread previously soaked in milk. To a half pint, of this mixture add a beaten egg, salt, jK'pper, aud a little melted butter, and moisten with a tablespoonful of cream, chicken gravy, or whito stock. Cover the chops on both sides with this, and lay them in a hot oven for six minutes, turning them once. Chopped mushrooms are often added to this forcemeat, or the chops, pre pared as above, rnoy be served with a mushroom sauce. Clara Chowder An appetizing chowder is always in order in hot weather. Tho best chowder maker wo have ever known was au old Masschu- setts lady. Tho following is her recipe : ' wash twenty-hvo large clams, and put over tho firo with half a pint of water ; as soon as the shells open, remove the saucepan, take out the clums, and savo all the juice remaining in the shells. Kemove the tough purts, and chop tho rest. Peel and slice six potatoes and two onions, add a small slice of larding pork, six pilot biscuit, the clam juice, a pint each of milk and water, half a grated nutmeg, and a tcaspoonful of celery seed, or a couple of stalks of celery minced fine ; let this cook slowly for two hours, then add the chopper clams, a cupful of tomato sauce aud a teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce, aud when the chowder is ajrain brought to the boil, it is ready to servo.

Archbishop Ireland in his great address nt the opening of the World's Temperance Con gress In Chicago, said among other things : 'My theory about the different methods- of temperance work is this : There is the enemy before us, menacing our homes, our souls, society and religion, and I say to tho frlemls of tomporanoe, go at the enemy. One with a gun, another with a Krupp cannon, ll you like, but hit him. I may havo my own special ideas and my owu methods, but I have made It a rule in tuy temperance work never to speak an unkind word of other methods. As a matter of fact we need all those methods. We need moral suasion, tor without moral suasion laws are of no ac count. Men make laws aud observe laws and enforce Inws when they nre themselves convinced. We must speak to the feelings and to the reason of mnu. Then wo need re ligion. We need that moral strength which only comes from the sklea to build up nnd awake the poor trembling victim of intem perance. And we need laws, because they are the expression of the moral and intellec tual convictions of our souls. Where there are no laws against evil there is the danger that we do not comprehend thoevils ; and we need laws not because laws can create virtue themselves, but to ward off the evil hand of the enemy from Individual aud social virtue. We need the laws as a protest against in kpiity. We need tho laws to defend the bul warks of society. When we unite and go forth from this temperance congress with a resolve to live with a cordial amity and to deal, as well as can eaeh and every one of us, the heaviest blows against alcohol, Immense results shall have been obtained." THE VEBDICT OF SCIENCE. "When wo remember," says Pr. Midge, "that aloohollo liquors are not known to have been used till centuries after the ap pearance of man on the globe ; that nil ani mate creation below man lives and thrives without them j and that there have been, and still are, millions of our fcllow-eroaturus of both sexes and of all ages, who live anil move and have their being without any suoh liquors, I think we are Justified in saying thaMliey are in no sense necessary to healthy It Is a fact that no living animal or plant can be supported on such fluids ; on tbo con trary, they all become sickly, aud perish un der such influence ; thus, for example, if you put a few ounces of alcohol into a pail of water in which are living ilsh, you will find that tho fish will die iu a very short time. "Mv oninmn," says Hlr John Hall, "is that neither spirits, wine, nor malt liquor is necessary for health. Tho healthiest army I ever served tt it h had not a single drop of any of them." Having now seen that alcohol is neither a food nor an aid to digestion, nor a nuemsary of life, the question may naturally be asked, what is alcohol? Alcohol is nothing more or less than a dangerous Irritant and fatal poison. And Just as other deadly poisons, such as arsenic, mny in certain cases lie used in small quuutltles as medicine so also. If it has any use at all. the only legitimate use of alcohol is as a medicine. We learn from all stundnrd books which treat on chemistry, that alcohol is regarded nnd classed -as a poison. "It is a dangerous poison," says Dr. Car penter. "It eonstitutee a powerful uarcotio poison," Bays Professor Chrlstlon. It is dsscribed as a poison in "Materia llediea," und as an "Irritant and fatal poi son." by Perelra. The French, Kngllshand American dispen satories, the highest authorities we have on sueh matters, des.-rilie alcohol as "a power ful irritant poison, rapidly causing intoxica tion, aud, in large quantities, death." "Alcohol," says Hir Andrew Clarke, "is a poison ; so is strychnine, so is opium ; it ranks with all these agents." Mir A st ley Cooper says, "I never suffer ar dent spirits in my house, thinking them evil spirits, spirits and poisons are synonymous terms that is, they mean the same thing." We are assured by Dr. fiordon that "it would be difficult to nnd a more destructive poison than ardent spirits." TEUPKRANCE HEWS AND NOTES.
