Sacnl Serpent of Krjpt.

JV.Tr- Even the myths which the old
Kuyptinns associated with the stink e
aro still prevalent. Egyptians of Ml
classes still believe that when ser
pent grows old wings grow out of its
body," and that there are serpents
which kill by darting flames in the vic
tim's face. How old such beliefs are in
this country need not be repeated to
those who have soou the pictures in the
tombs of the kings at Thebes. The
seref, or "flying serpent," and tho
snake from whose nioutn llames issuo
are among the commonest of the fig

however, as Kakodacmon, bnt as
Agathodaemnti, that the divine serpent
of ancient Egypt still maintains his
chief hold on the belief of the Egyptian
people. Each bonne still has its bar
ras, or "guardian snake," commonly
known as the harras elbet, "the pro

with milk and eggs, and care is taken
not to do it harm. Chicago Herald.
A Nolahle Engineering Feat.
i A notable engineering feat was ac
complished a few days ago in the com
pletion of the boring of the Rnsk-Ivau-hoe
Railway tunnel under the con
tinental divide of the Rocky Mountains
at Hagerman Pass, Col. The tunnel
is almost two miles long 9393 feet
and is through solid gray granite. It
took three years and twenty days, of
twenty hours' work each day, to bore
the big hole. It is 10,800 feet above
Bea level, through the top ridge of the
continent. The water draining from
the one side of the mountain under
which it is driven runs to the Atlantic.
Ocean and from the other to the
Pacific. Its construction has cost
$1 ,000, 000 and twenty human lives. The
tunnel, which is on the line of the
Colorado Midland Railway, the Santa
Fc's central route to California, sub
stitutes two miles of track for ten and
does away with one of the most ex
pensive railway climbs in the world.

CLEAN PIOSTlltS AND CLEAN PIGS.
Pigsties should be cleaned and
scrubbed at least once a week, writes
a correspondent. Give the pigs a
good scrubbing with a scrubbrush or
an old broom, and plenty of clean
water every day if convenient. Pigs
enjoy a good cold bath and appreci
ate a good scrubbing and a clean pen,
with something for a nest on which to
lie. I give them oat straw for a bed.
It smells sweeter in the pen than hay.
Never give pigs buckwhoat straw ; it
gives them the buckwheat itch. Clean

WHAT OVB RERD DISCLOSES.
Very recently there was published
in an article on the caro of dairy cow
statistics which fully prove that a man
feeding at random, and keeping cows
that have never been tested, is working
absolutely in the dark, and if he suc
ceeds it is merely through accident.
Facts very startling to tbe thinking
man were disclosed. Out of this herd
of sixty cattle, some HolsteiD, some
Jersey, some grades, and some com
mon cattle of unknown ancestry, the
cow returning the greatest amount of
butter according to food eaten was
the common native. Undoubtedly
prior to the test the presumption was
all against this cow. This shows that
breed does not always tell, and is con
soling to the farmer who is not able
to stock up entirely with thorough
bred or even grades. The second
native cow beat all of the Jerseys, so
that even the rich farmer cannot
afford to rely entirely upon blood.
An average of twenty-seven pounds of
food was consumed for one ponnd of
fat, ranging from seventeen to forty
seven pounds. The larger cows con
sumed a smaller amount of food in
proportion to their weight than the
smaller ones. The best yield of milk
gave the best yield of butter.
The entire test shows us what an in
dividuality there is in cows, and that
breed and color aud good marks and
appearances in general must not allow
us to lose sight of tbe paying qualities
of one and the losing qualities of an
other. American Farmer.
OIVE THE OOLT8 OOOD STALLS.
Have box stalls for the colts by all
means, but do not make them cells of
solitary confinement. Put in good
windows to admit the sun. If
opening into the paddock, have an
extra door two-thirds size, so he can
stand and put his head out and enjoy
the air, and see and familiarize him
self with what is going on. If open
ing into the barn, have the door in
halves; on the under half put slat
work that be can look through, hav
ing it bo the npper half can be shut
tight, in cold weather or at night.
I had a young stallion last winter
that could not seo what was going on
from his stall. He was kind and of
good disposition, but when I went to
take him out would grab a halter and
chew it and nip at one who came near.
I had two extra hinges put on the
door, and sawed it in two at the
middle, making two half doors. From
the lower half I built a slat work top
that he could see through. It chaoged
him at once, and now have a quiet and
pleasant colt to handle. '
Do not have two half doors by any
means ; it is dangerous. If the upper
half gets unfastened the colt will
reach through, and is likely to have it
swing so as to catch his neck, aad in
struggling to get free get hung. Chil
dren are often round to open the
lower half to see the colt and not
fasten it again. He stoops down to
get out, aud when part way through

FATTENING JtiULTHr.
No operation' connected with the
poultry yard requires greater atteu
tioii and experience than fattening
fowls in coops. Oatniuul and barley
meal alternately, mixed with milk,
and occasionally with a little drip
ping, is a good food. The feeding
troughs, which must be kept constant
ly scoured, should be placed before
tbe birds ut regul.tr intervals, and
when they have eaten sufficient it is
lietter to remove tlieui, placing a little
gravel within the reach of tlio coop to
asMht attention. Oitta aud rice are far
inferior to oatmeal iu their tlesli-fi'nu-iaif
properties. Keeping tho birds
without food for some hours after they
ure put up frequently induces them to
take, it more readily afterward, but
surtieierit attention is rarely bestowed
iii the various details of preparation
cai ta-J-Ivina the food; henoe. the
complaints of the fowls deteriorating
in the fattening pen are far from un
common. Access to water should be
allowed at all times.
Fattening must bo completed in ten
days, for after that period they begin
to lose weight. Tho best age for table
birds is when thoy are from four to six
months old.
The coop should be three feet high,
two fect wide and four feet long. This
will admit from six to eight birds,
according to their size. The bottom
and front should be of bars, three
inches apart. A board ontaide the bars
in front, six inches wide, will serve as
a stand for the food and water troughs.
The coop should be in a well-ventilated
outhouse, and if kept dark be
tween the times of feeding, all the bet

FABM AND OARDRN NOTES.
It is said that sorghum seed makes
a cheap and exoellont food for poul
try. Have fewer cattle, bnt better, and
feed them plentifully all the year
round.
An English experiment station says
that wheat is the cheapest food in Eng
land for sheep.
By bagging grapes the clusters are
kept perfect and come out bright, clean
and attractive.
Yonng animals intended for breed
ing purposes should be well oared for
and kindly treated.
Boot-pruning is simply a severing
of the roots in order to check growth
and induce fruiting.
A cow which produces 100 ponndi
of butter costs as much for feed aa one
which produces 200.
There is often a great diminution in
the amount of milk given when the
milkers are changed.
Where a combination of beef and
milk is desired the Shorthorns are gen
erally to be preferred.
All kinds of stock if well fed will in
crease in weight faster now than in
either colder or hotter weather.
It is claimed that the Jerseys and
Shorthorns were overfed during the
butter and cheese contest at Chicago.
Anew variety of peach is announoed,
for which the claim is made that no
sugar is needed in the canning of it
It is said that tomatoes (tethered
when green. and kopt in a dry place
will continue to ripen, just as pears do.
Give the poorest grain first. Ani
mals grow dainty aa they fatten and
lose instead of gaining if given poorer
food.
The quality of butter made in wet
weather is inferior owing to the pas
tures supplying less nutriment at that
time.
Squashes must be gathered before
touched by frost, handled carefully
and kept in a cool but not cold dry
place.
Celery blanched by banking in soil
is said to be more crisp and of better
flavor than that blanched between
boards.
If you have any trees in your orch
ard which have been blown down or
have been killed, remove them and set
out new trees.
Now is thetime to prepare the young
trees so that the ravages of rabbits will
not injure them. Do not delay this,
as it may mean a considerable loss to
you.
At this season it is important that
every colony contain a good fertile
queen and that a fair sprinkling ol
brood is kept up during the fall
months.
In the future the orchardist will con
sider the Bordeaux mixture and kero
sene emulsion as a necessity for the
success of his fruit trees in yielding a
good crop.
It would be well for the orchardist
if more winter apples, pears, or other
late fruit were planted. Now is the
best time of observing the wisdom of
doing this.
The quantity necessary to winter a
hive depends largely npon the weather
and the size of the colony, but thirty
pounds per colony is about the aver
age qtiautity.
Feeding for winter stores should be
gin in good season, so as to let tin
bees h'.ve time to seal their store
over before cold weather sets in. Al
ways feed just at night.
If you desire to leave an inheritance
to your children, Bet out a few walnut
or pecan trees. They can be pur
chased cheaply of any nurseryman, and
give excellent returns.
Trees which are planted in the faU
becomo thoroughly settled and get I
good roothold. In addition to this, the
have the entire spring and summer foi
their growth the first year, which is ol
great advantage.

BEEF STKW.
Two pounds of beef, the ronnd, flank
or any cheap part (if there is bone in
it, two and a half pounds will be re
quired), one onion, two slices of ear
rot, two of turnip, two potatoes, three
tablespoonfuls of flour, salt, pepper
and a generous quart of water. Cut
all the fat from the meat and put it in
a stew-pan; fry gontly for ten or fif
teen minutes. In the meantime cut
the meat in small pieoes and season
well with salt and pepper, and then
sprinkle over it two tablespoonfuls of
flour. Cut the vegetables in very small
pieces and put in the pot with the fat.
Fry them five minutes, stirring well,
to prevent burning. Now put in the
meat and move it about in tbe pot un
til it begins to brown, then add the
quart of boiling water. Cover ; let it
boil np once, skim and set back where
it will just bubble, for two aud a half
hoars. Add the potatoes cut in thin
slices, and one tablespoonful of flour
which mix smooth with half a enpful
of cold water, pouring about one-third
of the water on the flour at first, and
adding the rest when perfectly smooth.
Taste to see if the stew is seasoned
enough, and if it is not, add more salt
and pepper. Let the stew come to a
boil again, and cook ten minutes ; then
add dumplings. Cover tightly and
boil rapidly ten minutes longer. Mut
ton, lamb or veal can be cooked in this
manuer. When veal is used, fry out
two slices of pork, as there will not be
much fat on the meat. Lamb and mut
ton must have some . of the fat put
aside, as there is so much on these
meats that they are otherwise very
gross. New York Ledger.

1871. Strange to any, the Idea was suggested
by the American evangelist, Dwlght L.
Moody, and it grew with great rapidity until
now, in Liverpool alone, there are sixty-five
of these places. One ot the most Interesting
developments of the general plan is that fol
lowed by a wealthy London tea-merchant,
Mr. Buohanan. Leaving bis palatial sur
roundings at the wost end. he settled amidst
the sordid poverty of Whiteohapel, where he
could personally overlook the working of his
project. He established "Teetotums," peo

MAKIKO DRONKAHDS OF THE BABIES.
When an tufant is born, says Dr. Keely,
some form ot alcohol Is usually an attendant
at the birth. It the infant escapes a whisky
bath or a few drops ot some stimulant. It is
prolmbly through some negleot. It Is rare
inileea tnat a ctilld a few days old nas not
had a hot whisky several times. If the babe
feeds on milk and water too early, or If any
thing goes wrong with the mother or child,
the domestic and very likely tbe professional
remedy is whisky.
Indigestion, too much crying, cholera in
fantum, measles, scarlet fever and particu
larly diphtheria are treated by aloohol and
opium very largely by tbe physician".
I do not question the propriety of giving
these drugs as remedies. I do not doubt the
wisdom or skill of tbe physicians who find
these remedies useful In diseases. But 1 as
sert that the soothing sirups and other opiate
iruparatious. tbe wines and hot slings and
arge quantities of alcoholic liquors given to
children to quiet them or cure them of dis
eases, cause the drink habit.
rue stamp of tbe drug remains on the
brain of the infant, even If the drug is no
longer given. The misery of babes drugged
to drunkenness and then very likely sudden
ly deprived ut the accustomed stimulant is
without doubt aa acute and great as in older
people, l'eople who have dosed children
with soothing syrup know how difficult it Is
to wean the child trom tbe drug. But even
if the drug is no longer given tho thirst re
mains. When the babe grows up to the stage
ot youth, be has the craving without a name
or understanding perhaps until for some
reason a stimulant or dose of the accustomed
drug is taken. There Is an immediate and
perhaps prolonged debauch, followed by tbe
usual phenomena ot Inebriety. It makes no
difference if the drug is alcohol or opium or
both. Both of these inebrieties may exist in
the same person, and he maybe both a drunk
ard and an opium user, and this condition
can lie and often is the result of opium or
whisky inebriety acquired In the cradle and
nursery.
Child drinking is one of the most prevalent
disease. It is coextensive with the extent
ol aloohol and opiates given to children for
any cause whatever. It is therefore as ex
tensive as the prevalent) of the diseases of
childhood, because the inebriating drugs are
universally used in these diseases. I regard
child inebriety as the chief cause of intem
perance among all classes. I do not say that
every ohiid subjected to the influence of
these drugs becomes an active inebriate, but
I say that It the history of drunkenness is
care'ully inquired into it will be found that
the larger numler of inebriate took opiates
or aloohol when they were children.
