How HtintornCan Amid Accidents.
A oorrflRpondriit of tha American
Field entl that )pr the following
rnles, vrbicli, if carefully observed by
thoe carrying wpuponp, will avoid
mny d Kocidcnta.
First Never, under any clrcnm
stance, point yonr gun toward a hu
tnnn boiiiR.
Hoeond Never curry it go Hint if it
were socidcntly dinchsrged it would
even endanger the life of a dog.
intra Always tuink wniuh way
yout srun is pointed, and if a compan
Ion is in tho field with yon, no matter
now near or how tempting the game
appears, do not shoot until you know
where he is ; a stray shot may be suf
ficient to destroy an eye forever.
Fourth Nevor carry a loaded gun
In a wagon.
Fifth Never carry a loaded gun
over a fence ; put it through and then
get over.
Sixth Always carry a gnu at half
cock ; if a breechloader, never let the
hammers rent on the plungers.
Seventh Nevor get in front of a
gun ; if you are falling drop it so that
the muzzle will be from you.
Eighth If tho cartridge sticks the
I font blade of a knife will probably
extract it ; if not, take out the other
cartridge, cut a straight stick and poke
it out from ?he muzzle; even then do
not get in front of a gun.
Ninth Aftor firing one barrel take
the cartridge out of the other and ex
amine the wad to see that it is not
loosened, as it sometimes is after a
heavy recoil, for, should it get np into
the barrel, it is liable to burst the gun.
Tenth Never take hold of the ninz
Ele of a gun to draw it toward you.
Eleventh Never set a gun up so that
if it should fall the muzzle would be
toward yon.
Twelfth Never keep a loaded gnu
in the house.
Follow all these rules, be self-pos-essed
and the fields will afford you
port without danger.

TUB BEST BREED OF FOWU.
Tho question of which is the bcBt
breed of fowls narrows down to this :
What fowl do you like bestV Which
stylo and color takes your eye? Can
yon give tho proper housing aud care
that tho tenderer breeds reqnire?
Will yon have to subject your fowls
to just ordinary houses and caret Tho
breed one fancies most will in the
majority of cases receive tho best care,
which naturally results in the most
profit. If one prefers fine feathers
and a beautiful form and carriage
ratljer than a strictly coonomio fowl,
there are many bi beds from whioh to
make a selection. If a general pur
pose fowl is want id, the list to select
from was never so long as it is to-day.
If beauty and utility combined are
wanted, there are several breeds to
select from, either one of which should
satisfy any reasonable person. There
is much truth in the saying, "feed
makes the breed." The best breed in
tho world, whichever one may be so
considered by the owner, will be a
failure and disappointment if kept
under unfavorable conditions aud in
judiciously fed. Therefore we would
add to the above, ''feed and care make
the breed." AVe ilo not know of any
breed whioh with proper care and feed
will not piove reasonably profitable
both in pleasure and money. In
making selection oto's circumstances
and surroundings should be taken into
account; where one breod would be
perfectly hardy and thrive well,
another breed would not do at all well.
'Therefore it behoc-ves one to guard
againbt letting a sudden fancy run
away with good judgment.
Those who are just considering the
subject, I would earnestly advis-e
taking plenty of time to look the field
over thoroughly before making np
their minds. Ono is apt to be favor
ably impressed wilU the appearance
of a certain breed, which after due
thought wonld be rejected for good
and sufficient reosoP. whereas if on
the first impulse it had boen bought,
it would prove, a disappointment and
xntnil a loss. Tho4 who are contin
ual y changing the breed very seldom
t.re satisfied with anything and usually
end by giving tho w'uole np in disgust.

CTRRVIsn HORSES.
The boi'so is a Vtry cleanly animal,
and if ho is not running in the fields
where he can roll imd rub, his hair
ai:d tkiu should bo thoroughly oleauod
every day to keep him in good health
oca condition. jmia ana manure
should be rubbed off with a handful
of (straw or bar, aud tho wet hair
wiped dry with other clean handruls.
Then tho wholo skin should be gone
over with a currycomb having line,
round, pointed teeth, followed by a
good, clean bru-li. Straw and dirt
(should bo untangled from the mane
and tail with th fingers. Curds pull
out too much hair, though a good,
blunt-toothed stuel comb may be care
fully uood. The nioht of tho cleaning
bhouKl bo done with the briibh,
especially around the head and leg
bones, being careful that the brush or
dubt does not get into his eyes. Then
tho tvhole budy should be wiped with
ft soft cloth, Legiuuiug with head, aud
tho refnltii:g smooth cout of the home
will well repuy iiiteli duily care.
Tho principal i cu'-.uu Tor regular aud
thorough grooming is that the health
of the horse requires that the pores ol
the skin be kept open by removing
dus( and secretions, and that both skin
and muscles be rubbed to replace the
natural muscular movements whioh
the stabling and work prevent. The
good results of careful grooming are
so apparent that a person with the
healthy skin which follows from
proper bathing, rnbbing and feeding,
is said to be well groomed.
Muddy legs and manure stains may
be washed off with warm water, being
oaroful to rub the hair and skin dry
immediately. In warm weather it is
a good plan to give tho horse an oc
casional bath all over, and then rub
him dry, so that he does not chill and
catch cold. The hard-working farm
horse should be groomed three times
a day. At noon the harness should be
removed and the face and sweaty
places rubbed with soft fstraw or hav.
At night the shoulders, the back and
tho muddy logs should be washed
off with warm water and rnbbed
dry. Then and also in the morning
he should be rnbbed all over with tha
brush and cloth or straw, using the
currycomb to remove dirt from tho
hair, and to clean tho brush. Cleanli

FABtf AND GARDEN NOTES,
After the leaves drop is a good timo
to prnne the grape.
Take your choice, eggs or lice. Ton
can't have both in the same poultry
yard.
Stirring the soil in warm woathcr
makes it warmer by admitting more
outside air. It also stimulatos de
composition of any vegetable matter
that the soil contains, and thus tli
reotly adds to the available supply of
fertility.
A tcaspoonful of glycerine and a
few drops of nitrio acid to a pint of
drinking water will gonerally cure a
fowl that shows symptoms of ,bronohi
tis, when accompanied with a gurg
ling sound in the t hi oat, as if of
choking.
The more mannre that the farmer
applies the more thorough should be
the cultivation of the crop. Only thus
can its full value be secured. Besides,
unless the onltivator is kept busy, the
manure makes the weeds grow as well
as the crop.
Much can vet be done to make the
poultry quarters comfortable for win
ter weather. The roof may be mend
ed, the walls battened, or lined with
paper, the broken glass replooed with
new, or a sash put into a front that
now baa none.
A eolt was to all appearances noarlv
dead, the breath of life being barely
perceptible, it soon revived by giv
ing it a conple of fresh eggs. Tho
same results have attended the admin
istering of eggs to weak cattle and to
feeble, chilled lambs.
All sick or ailing fowls should be at
once separated from the rest ot the
flock. The ounce .of prevention in
removing them is often worth more
than the pound of cure needed for tha
others, among whom they, by remain
ing, spread contagion.
Experimenting with monirrel fowls
in these days is very poor business at
the best, when there is such an abun
dance of prime stock to commence
with. It ia just as cheap to breed the
better kinds of 'poultry at the outset,
as to keep poor trash.
If a little salt were put in food
every day and ashes put where the
poultry can have aooess to them, they
would never eat their eggs unless tha
eggs freeze and the shell cracka open.
Ileus seldom eat their eggs except dur
ing the winter months.
It has been 'recommended, in order
to prevent hens from 'eating eggs, to
put two tablespoonfuls of fine salt and
one-half pint of wood ashes in one
quart of corn meal, or in that ratio,
and mix with boiling water ; feed once
a day until they leave off eating their,
eggs.
No artificial heat is wanted for lay
ing hens. Make the pens close and
comfortable; that is all that is re
quired ; the bens will do the rest.
Artificial heat always weakens, and
activity is always at the bottom of
good health, whether with man or
beast.
It is necessary to watch the oorners
or there will be no profit with your
flocks. How many old and worthless
roosters are you feeding? They are
not only useless and expensive, but
annoy the hens and interfere with the
egg product. Do not keep the old
hens either.
Few eggs need be expected uuIobs
tho heus aro in a bright, healthy con
dition. While ground feed is most
conveniently kept in a trough, whole
seeds should bo scattered among cloan
straw or litter, to compel them to jx-
eroiue. This will usually do away with
egg euting, feather pulling, etc.
Did yon ever know wheat to be so
cheap? Boil It soft and stir up with
little potatoes and other fall wastes
like turnips, cabbages, sweet apples,
eto. I'erhaps this ration will not make
fut pork, but it keeps the digestion
and appetite good, and, O, how it
makes the winter pigs grow I Care
aud brains make pork profits.
Kerosene emulsion can most easily
be applied vo stock to destroy lice aud
prevent the attack of the horn-fly by
tho sprayer, which is designed origin
ally for applying spraying mxturea
to fruit trees. A hand sprayor is the
most convenient, and with a fine noz
zle a very small quantity will be eulll
oient, whereas by band and sponge
application the work will require
much more liquid aud take much more
timo.
At Baden-Baden, the celebrated spa
aud summering resort, the municipal

A POCTOBTCEr.
I was In my ofSae ono day soms years ago,
When a man entered who was written from
bead to foot with tbe record of his ruined
life. That he was a drunkard was proved
by his looks, bis breath, hU halting step, his
open confession. He told ma that he' had
tried many methods of improvement, bu; all
bad fulled, and he came to see me as a last
resource. I was obliged to leave a fen min
utes after bis arrival to keep an iir.pertant
engagement. His cise seemed so utterly
hopeless that I felt sure all the uual reme
dies would prove useless and simply left him
with the words : "You can lot liquor aloue
if you like ; I do. I never drink." About a
your later a man came to my cilice, upright,
reputable-looking in face, figure, aud attire ;
he described the ragamuffin o'. whom I have
.net spoken, and asked if I remembered s'.icu
a visitor, which I was enabled to do because
I never In the course of my practice had seen
a specimen ot humanity ns wretched nn 1

tock from his pocketbook a photograph, and
handed it to me and said, "Do vou recoulr.a
the person I have described?" I said, "I
think it U I bl very man hero in tha photo

went on to say that wuen I loft tilm be
walked alonu the street murmuring to 'him

SAys I can lot it alone It I like, and he ought
to know." Tills was a glonm of hope, and
lie docided bo would pas the next aaloou, a

the nnncomlit than most travelers,
though, like othor grcnt serpents, the
individuals of this species aro so little
common thnt their nppearanoe in any
ono dir-.trict is too infrequent to make
a cprcial Mmly of their habits part of
the' day's work of a busy naturalist.
Bulos's first personal experience of the
crrRturo shows how impossible it is to
avoid tho pythotn by the ordinary
menus of isolation sufficient to keep
other dangerous creatures at a dis
tance. He was at anohor, in a large
boat, iu doep water, iu the port of
Antonio Mnlagueita.
An anaconda swam out to the boat,
lifted its head from the water, broke
in the side of a fowlhoune on deok, and
carried off a couple of fowls. It was
found that this snake bad been steal
ing ducks aud fowls from this part of
the river for months, so a hunt was
organized, miles of river bank were
searched, and the serpent at last found
sunning itself in ft muddy creok and
killod. It was "not a large specimen,
only eighteen feet nine inches long."
But Mr. Batos measured skius of ana
condas which were twonty-ono feet iu
length and two feet in girth, aud ho
adds: "There can bo no doubt that
this formidable serpent grows to an
enormous bulk, aud lives to a great
Ago, for I have hoard of specimens
having been killod which measured
forty-two foot in length, or double the
size of the largest which I had the op
portunity of examining." We must
add a correction here. They were
doublo the length ; but the sice of
these great reptiles, like that of fish,
increases enormously with every addi
tion in longitudinal growth.
A snake ot twenty feet in longth
wonld bo probably four times the
weight of one ten feet long, and the
bulk of a forty-foot anaconda would
approach that of the largest crooodile.
Since the publication of "The Natura
list's Voyage on the Amazons" an ana
conda of twenty feet has been brought
to the Natural History Museum at
South Kensington. A neighbor of
Bates, in Brazil, nearly lost his ten-year-old
son by the attaok ot an ana
conda. Ue had left the boy in his
boat while he went to gather fruit, and
on his return found him enoircled by
the snake,!whose jaws the father seized,
nd actually tore them asunder. Tho

Healthy Bank Notes.
The Bank of England never reis
sues a note. Every bill passed over
its oonuter from the inside is crisp
aiyl new. free from bacteria, bacilli,
microbes or any other disease germs.
A London newspaper states that even
if a customer should draw a check,
receiving these new bill, and then de
oide that he preferred coin, the man
in charge of this department would
take the notes, tear a oorner from
each, and pass over the gold. The
bills are then burned without cere
mony. The Bank of Frence also issues only
new notes, but for fourteen years it
has turned the old ones into pulp in
stead of burning them. It takes about
twenty-four hours to transform them
into a blackish pulp, useful only for
the backs of lodgers or cardboard of
low quality. As a sanitary measure
this destruction is probably wise, and
in the end may bo even economical.
Borne of our American bank notes
take on an alarmingly unhealthy look
before they get into tho furnace.
