of his loss, and sitting by t ho flro and
taking np a pieco of pest to put on,
be had scarcely ntterod tho words
"It is a year to-dny since I lost my
diamond ring," than his compnnion
was surprised to hear the words quick
ly followed hy "and here it is." The
peat had been cut from the very moot
where the loss had occurred, and
hence its recovery. No other account
of extraordinary recovery of dia

specino germs or micro-organisms
which are in this case small nlauta.
There are a great many kinds of dis

call almost any swine disease by that
name, ana 1 feel sure that hops are in
many cases thought to have cholora

known of no serious results from

.- BAD TEMPER IS THE DAntS.
Has any one ever figured up the
cost of bad temper in tho dairy ? If
allowed a rough guess at it, I would
say that bad temper was tho cause of
more loss in the dairy than all other
sources of loss put together. A man
may have fino cows, a good stable,
the best dairy implements and a good
market, yet he is losing money all tho
time simply because he loses his tam
per when a cow gets contrary or acts
in some way to irritnto him. He then
begins to swear and yell aud act like
a general idiot. .Now. a cow is n
good deal like a woman in one respect.
You yell at her aud she instantly loses
her head. Her judgment is all anue
and her nerves are on top. Now look
out for a squall. Nature never msant
tnat man should abuse the softer sex.
either woman or cow, without bcinn
made to pay for it. Just how tho
woman gets tbe better of a man when
ho acts the fool we all know. All men
do not know, though, just how the
oow gets in her lino work under the
same circumstances. Sha takes her
revenge in a negative shano bvnot
giving as much milk as she would have
given had she been better treated.
Not seeing hi loss, the man does not
appreciate how heavy it is nutil he
comes to sum it up at the end of the
season when ho good naturedly to
himself attributes his losses all to
bad luck when it should be to fool
temper. Home and Farm.
SMALL FLOCKS OF POULTRY.
Far mors ofton keep too many hem
in one placo. Fifty is all that should
be kept in one flock as the food will
cost less, aud more eggs will be laid
in winter than if 100 are kept. The
right way to do, where more than
fifty fowls are to bo kept, is to have
another in some out-of-the-way place.
If tho houses are two or three hundred
yards apart, fences will not be re
quired. The houses need not bo
expensive, and most farmers have old
lumber lying around, or an old shed
that ought to be tern down, aud all
this can be worked into tho poultry
houses. Tho hout es should, at least,
be twenty-five by fifteen feet for fifty
fowls. Have the roof firm and tight,
and then lino, the house inside with
good, stout building paper. Little
cracks in the sides of a house or damp
ness is the causo of sick fowls during
the winter season. The front and south
side of tho house should be seven or
eight feet high and havo two ordinary
sized house windows therein, whilo
the back or north side bhould bo four
or fivo feet high. Tho reason why
the house should be large, light and
dry, is becauso during the oold or
stormy days of winter thefowlsshould
be confined therein ; and if plenty of
litter is kept on the lloor, und small
grains are buried under this, the fowls
will be kept busy and happy nil day.
This means plenty of eggs, and plenty
of eggs iu winter means plenty of
money just when money is most
needed. Do not be afraid of shutting
tho house up as tight as possible at
night, but during the day, when the
hens are confined, open the windows
and give plenty of uir, using wire net
ting to keep tho fowls fromHyiug out.
It li list be remembered that hens aro
dressed just as heavily iu the daytime
os at night, and if kept too warm dur
iug the day they will feel the cold of
night more, an I biekuuss will be tho
result. The droppings should bekcpj
by themselves aud not be allowed to
bo scratched all Over tho floor, and
tho roosts should be all on a level aud
not more thau eighteen inches or two
feet up from the floor. The rooss
' thould be thre or four inched wide, a
two by flvo-inch jeist making an ex
cellent roost. Americtn Agricultur
ist. POTATOES FOR COWS,
The Veterinsry School of Lyons,
France, has been making some experi
ments in the uso of potatoes for feed
ing dairy cows. Tho results aro sum
marized as follows :
Dairy cows, when deprived of nil
other nourishment than potatoes
(which should be given raw and cnt)
will consume per day on average of
seven per cent of their live weight.
Under the influence of this exclusive
rogimen thoro was au increase in tho
quantity of milk and a notable loss in
live Height; this result was very clear
and remarkable. Cooked potatoes
were more readily taken by tho cat
tle, but when they were given alone.
aud every other form of nourishment
was exoluded, rumination was affeoted
or stopped, and digestion was hin
dered. The uso of cooked potatoes
could not, therefore, bo persisted in.
Whether thoy are raw or cooked,
potatoes should be mixed with some
other food to constitute a convenient
ration, both from tho double point of
view of milk production and for fat
tening purposes. This mixture of ra
tions is also favorable to tho mechan
ical aud chemical acts of digestion.
From observations on a lot of dairy
oows fed with a ration of which pota
toes formed the half of the total dry
matter, and on another lot where they
only formed twenty-two per cent., it
was fully recognized that the first or
larger quantity was clearly preferablo
to tho second or smaller. From other
experiments it appeared that raw po
tatoes favored the production of milk,
whilo an equal quantity which had
boon cooked fattened aud iucreased
the weight of the animals. Under tho
influence of a ration of which cooked
potatoes formed the basis, the amount
of sugar in tho. milk was found to rise,
but the increase did not continue
when the ration was changed.
An analysis was niado weokly during
nearly four months of (1) the milk of
eight cows whose ration contained
about forty-four pounds of potatoes
and (2) of another lot to which twenty
two pounds had boon given. In the
first case thero was a decrease of den
sity of tho proportion of dry extract
and oosoine, and in the second nn in
crease of butter and mineral matters.
The practical use of these experiments
on the introduction of the potato into
tho ration of dairy cattle will be rogu
lated by tho fact of tho milk being
sold off the farm or uaod for butter or
cheese making.
FARM AXD GARDEN KOTES,

A practical dairyman suggests that
two or three doses of saltpetre, one
tublespoonful for a dose, is a remedy
for ropy milk. Kopy milk, however,
seldom results unless the cow is milked
too soon after calving ; it disappears
later on.
Sometimos eggs arc laid at nighl
whilo the hens ure on the roost. The
causo is a weakened state of the egg
producing orguus; tho result of over
feeding aud lack of exercise, liens
which nro unable to hold their eggf
aro usually too fat.
A practical berry grower says thai
a quarter acre garden, well arranged,
set to bent varieties aud properly care.)
for, should yield at least twenty-fivt
budhuls of berries. In no othor way
oui a farmer produce so much of value
with so little labor as in a garden ol
small fruits.
A writer says that many fail ta un
derstand while yet it is tho fact, that
when cows are on good pasturage is
when they need salt' the most. The
butter plan is to koep the simply iu a
convenient place where they can help
thumselves. One advantage with rock
salt is that it doe not waste to any
great extent H Jell exposed.
Tho owner of a small farm who
keeps only one or jtwo cows is more
intirestuJ, or should be, in having
choice animals thau those who own
large flocks. One good oow will serve
the purpose of two inferior sen, and
where space is limited every additional
quart of milk or pound of butter u

of the remedial virtues of its waters,
situated On tho Great Columbian
plateau, in Southern Washington, at
nn altitude ot 23D0 feet above tho
level of tho l'ncific, is tho Dead Sea
of America. It is about a mile long
and from a half to three-fourths of a
mile in width, aud with a maximum
depth of about sixty feet.
The composition of the waters of
this Alpine lake is almost indentical
with that of tho Dead Sea of Palest ine,
aud, like its Oriental counterpart, no
plant has yet been fonud growing in
or near its edges. It is all but do
void of animal life, a species of largo
"boat-bug," a queer littlo terrapin,
and tho. famous "walking flub." being
its only inhabitants. This walking
fish is nu oddity really deserving of a
special "note." It is from eight to
nine inches long aud has a finny lnoui
brano on all sides of its body, even
around both the upper and lower sur
faces of the tail, it is provided with
four legs, thoso before having four
toes, the hinder five. St. Louis He

To a private, Joseph Kahn, of ono of
tho artillery companies stationed at
Fort MoIIenry, tho department is in
debted for tho design of a new imple
ment which may prove sorvioeablo in
campaigning. It is a combination of
shovel and pick ax, not more than a
foot in length, which may bo carriod
at the belt, and used in digging in
trenchments. By its uso the soldiers
might, if hard prossed, hnrriodly dig
np earthworks or intrenchments for
their own shelter. Washington Star.

There is little encouragement for a
man to be a burglar nowadays.
When he has nn earnest aspiration to
rise to eminence in tho profession, in
ventive genius always does all it can
to bother him. For instance, the
vaults of the snb-trcasury in San Iran
cisco aro fitted with wiros laid be
tcen every two rows of bricks, so
thnt any attempt to interfere with the
cement or the bricks will disturb nn
elcctrio circuit nnd sound a warning
bell. JSoBton Courier.
It is reported that France will have

ASSIST NATURE
a little now and then
in removing offend
ing matter from the
stomach aud bowels
and you thereby
avoid a multitude
of distressing de
rangements and dis
eases, and will have
less frequent need
of your doctor's
service.
Of all known
agents for this pur
pose, Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets are
the best. Once
UM'd, they aro al
as in favor.
Their secondary ef
fect is to keep the
bowels open and
regular, not to fur
ther constipate, as
is the case with
ollieT pills. Hence, their great popularity
with sufferers from habitual cotiHtipalion,
piles and their attendant discomfort and
manifold derangements. The "Pellets"
are purely vegetable and perfectly harmless
in any condition of the system. No care is
required while using them: they do not
Interfere with the diet, habits or occupa
tion, and produce no pain, griping or shock
to the system. They act in a niild, easy and
natural way and there is no reaction after
ward. Their help lasts.
The Pellets cure biliousness, sick and
bilious headache, dizziness, cosirveness, or
constipation, sour stomach, Kiss of appetite,
coated tongue, indigestion, or dyspepsia,
windy belcbings, "heartburn," pain aud
distress after eating, and kindred derange
ments of the liver, stomach Bud bowels.
In proof of their superior excellence, it can
be truthfully said, that they are always
adopted as a household remedy after the
fit st trial. Put up in sealed, glass vials,
therefore always fresh aud reliable. One
little "Pellet" is a laxative, two are mildy
cathartic. As a "dinner pill," to promote
digestion, or to relieve distress from over
eating, take one after dinner. They are
tiny, sugar-coated granules; any child will
readily take them.
Accept no substitute that may be recom
mended to be "just as good." It may be
bttlrror the dealtr, because of paying him
a better profit, but he is not the one who
needs help.

Is tho Moon Peopled 1
The populnr impression is that tho
moon is a burnt-out world a sort of
cinder planet glisteuiug in tho heav
ens but astronomers aro by no means
persuade?! that such is tho case, and
somo among thorn nro hopeful that
tho question ns to whtther it is or is
not inhabited will shortly be deter
mined. This hope is based upon tho
fact that tho great fifty-inch tolesoope
which is being constructed in the
Brnshcar cstablisment iu Pittsburg,
under tho superintendence of Profes
sor Kollcr, of Allegheny Observatory,
will shortly bo ready for use. The
tube of this giant instrument will
be fully seventy feet in length, nnd
for its operation will require a dome
more than sixty feet in diameter.
Professor Keller has declared thnt
ho sees "no renson why the question
ns to tho habitation of tho moon
should not bo finally settled when this
wonderful instrument is croctod."
Professor Plymptou, of Cooper Insti
tute, is equally sanguine thnt the do
cisivo results so long looked for are
destined to bo shortly realized. Such
hopes will doubtless seem extravagant
to many ; but when it is remembered
thnt tho Lick telescope, which has
done so much for Bcienoc, is but thirty
inches in diomcter, and that the new
glass will bo twenty inches larger, it
is easy to see that tho great expecta
tions of tho astronomers are not with
out a reasonable basis. In any case,
it is fairly certain that tho fifty-inch
