When we take into consideration
the poisonous qualities of tho vrge-

torronmled, we are led to wonder how
it ia that children and heedless per

hayo tho habit of pnttin to many
things into their mouths, ought to be
careliillr watched.
It will surprise many persons to be
told that old potatoes which have
sprouted contain n definitely recog
nized poison known as solnnine. New
potatoes, which are so eagerly sought
after early in the season, would be
poisonous if eaten raw. The heat of
cooking destroys their toxic, qualities.

bark of tho common elder is a deadly
poison, which fnot was never suspected
until five boys near Tarrytown, N. Y.,
chewed the stalks, supposing they

is deadly po sod. A small bit chewed
may cause death, while to chew tha

('itm-l'lierrer's Tongue.
It is admitted by all sensible people
that every pleasure has its attendant

we mutt pay a penalty moro or less

It is a new idea, however, that tho
gum-chewer is in danger of a disease
that unless checked may be the direct
cauEo of a serious malady that will in
a short time prove fatal. It ia in
j addition a most painful ill, and one

The symptoms aro a sensation as
though the tongue had been burned
by a scalding drink. This is followed
by red spots, and inflammation along
the sides of the tongue near the root.
The back of the tongue becomes irri
tated, and round, red, raw-looking
putches appear.
It would be interesting to Btudy
these indications and learn just how
widespread this disease is. Certitinly
thoso who have suffered from it nre
fully alive to its unpleasant possibili

From the bulletin on poultry recent
ly ifancd by the Department of Agri
cnltnro has nlready been published
Fcveral selections. Below is another
from the section on incubators :
It is ndvihable, before investing ex
tonniveh iu any make of incubator, to
thoroughly understand the machine
If good results aro obtained, then ad
ditiotinl machines of the snino kind
ahonld be purchased. Failures aro
recorded simply because the individual
tails to thoroughly understand the ma
chine ho is trying to operate, or, in
other words, inils to learn how to op
orate that particular machine to the
best advantage. A successful poultry
man must necessnrilv pay close atten
tion to petty details. Not only is this
necessary iu earing for httlo chickens
and mature fowls, but also in the onro
nnd management of incubators and
brooders. The whole business is one
of details, Whilo incubators mav
vary considerably otio from another,
yet there are certain points to which
all should conform. Some of these
points are summed up in the following :
i. iney Htioukl lo well made of well-
seasoned lumber. The efforts of manu
facturers to meet a popular demaud
for cheap mnobines has placed on the
market incubators that nre not only
cheaply made, but made of cheap and
not thoroughly seasoned material.
J. the incubator should be easy of
operation. All its adjustments should
be easily mn'o and so nrrangad that
the niorp delicate machinery is in
plain view of the operator. The ma
chine should be automatic in opera
tion. When supplied with tho neces
sary boat it should control perfeotly
within certain limits the temperature
of the egg chamber. This result is
accomplished in various ways. The
regulating force, whatever it may be,
should bo placed within tho egg cham
ber so that the regulator may vary as
the temperature in the egg chamber
varies, irrespective of changes of tem
perature of the room in which the in
cubator is placed. The regulator must
be sensitive.
The chauge of temperature, which
is necessary for the complote working
of the regulator ou;;ht not to bo more
than one degree ; that is one degree
above or below tho desired tempera
ture. It is belter if the range of tem
perature can be reduced to one-half
of one degree, thus making a total
variation of ona degree instead of two
degrees. It should not bo inferred
thnt a much wider variation than this
will not give excellent results nudcr
otherwise favorable conditions, but,
other things being equal, thoso ma
chines whichare most nearly automatic
are to be preferred.
In addition to tho foregoing requis
ites a convenient appliance for turn
ing ho eggs, positive in its action,
should accompany each incubator.
This may be an extra tray that is to
be placed bottom side up over the tray
of eggs and held firmly in this posi
tion while both trays are turned, thus
completely transferring the eggs from
one tray to another without jar. The
different machines have very different
appliances for accomplishing this re
sult. WINTERING HORSES.
It is now the critical season in giving
the domestic animals proper attention.
Tho horse at work usually has a fair
share of care, but those not in use are
too frequently neglected.
Tho horso at work is not always
properly shod. It is oiton required
to go at a rapid gait, or to draw heavy
loads over the frozen or icy ground
when the shoes are not property sharp
ened. In fact, too often the poor
creature is expected to do full service
without shoes at all. It is out of the
question in winter to expect the ani
mal to do fair work without having
front shoes at leat. It is unfortunate,
often, that the horse does not have
a man who understands his work to
adjust the shoes. Setting and fitting
properly rs a reul art which far too
few ever master. It is very desirable
to avoid contracting the hoof in the
least. Great care should be exercised
that the nails are driven towards the
edge of the hoof, rather than in the
inward direction. Tho latter plan of
nailing often causes great suffering as
well as serious permanent injury.
, Feeding the horses in moderate
weather domauds that they should have
a good variety aud foods that have a
cooling tendency upon the digestive
apparatus are to ba sought. With
right management, the perishable
foods in mild weather aud, to soino
extent, ia the coldest weather, caa be
given to tho stock with great advan
tage! to tho aui jials themselves, as well
as in the interest of furnishing a cheap
ration.
The horse is considered the cheapest
animal on tho farm at present, and
there is too much of the feeling that
anything is good enough for it. They
who exercise foresight must recognize
thnt the brcod mares, as well as the
youngster, should constitute as good
a permanent investment us anything
eUo in tho way of live btocU. If only
tho owner is curoful to preserve t-trong
and healthful animals, it is only a
brief time uutil they are sure to bring
satisfactory returns.
If an annual is worth feeding
through tho winter, it pays to feed it
well. By this we do not mean that
high feeding should be practiced. The
creutnres tint uro iu poor flesh, to
bturt m with, should have that tlesh
steadily increased, and tho stock that
it in good condition should by all
means ba muiutuiued iu that con
dition, if not slightly improved.
I'leuty of good B')iiud food, and
plenty of exercise in tho open air,
usually brings tho horses through uu
til tho middle of Februury in good,
thrifty condition, nam that time on
it in good pulley to begin gradually
burdening tho teams for spring work.
It is well, at this time ns u rule, to in
cieusu the ration of train, Care must
bo employed coutiunully iu feediug
the damnged oate, aud a combination
if this with dusty proveudor must be
guarded uaiuit.
The yuuu!j t'olt muft not be for- j
gotten, and especially its extra care is
to be remotnbered. The best and
soundest food properly ground or out
for it, as woll as exercise in tho sun
shine and open air, ia in order. Pro
vido shelter every night from the wind,
and if possible, from tho olonds. The
colts that nre past eight months old
should havo as much handling in the
way of haltering and loading as woll
as harness-ng, hitching and driving,
as tho spnr3 time will allow. It pays,
in fact, to spare on an avcrago to each
colt a half a day per month during
Jauunry, February aud March. The
colt cannot loam everything it should
know in two weeks provious to becom
ing four yours old. - The horse will be
much more valtiablo because of the in
cidental train iug during several
months of its growth. Farm, Field

FAttM AND GARDKN NOTES.
The sheep is an animal that must bo
kindly treated.
All combs that aro built by bees
naturally contain too much drone
comb.
Keep the brood in tho contra of the
hive if possible, and the houoy on the
outside.
Foul brood is very contagions,- and
will spread with great rapidity over
an apjary.
Never allow a swarm of boos ti re
main long after settling; hive thorn as
soon as possible.
Nothing but the very best sheep
should be kept. Tho best are profit
less enough now.
It is straugs that no more interest
is pa'd to the brooding of fancy
pigeons. Perhaps because the oraze
has not seoured a foothold. In many
places it is an extensive and profitable
business.
Curing honey simply means a proper
evaporation of the water it contains.
This is accomplished in the hive by a
high degree of temperature, and can
be done outside by maintaining the
same conditions.
liens nro beginning to lay now, af
ter a resting spell. They should rush
tho machinery whilo the sun shines.
Is your house tight aud warm? If not.
don't expect the hens to lay in cold
weather. Bolter look to it at once.
Colonies that laok stores for the
winter should ba fed tho required
quantity in the fall, and September is
the best time to do it. It should be
done whilo it is yet warm enough to
allow the bees to seal tho stores over.
Every colony should have twenty
five or thirty pounds of good sealed
stores to bring tbem through to tho
first of May, with good winter protec
tion besides. It is far better to hava
a little too inuoh stores than too little.
Dead brauches should be out from
trees as soon as noticed. If left on
more dead onei appear eaoh year
until the tree is wholly detd. If they
are out off as soon as discovered tha
tree will keep its vigor, and fruit a
few years longer.
Young stock fed on an exclusive diet
will not develop fully, either in feath
ers or bones. If you wunt to feed but
one kind of grain to young, or old
stock, let it be wheat, as that com
bines all tho necessary properties for
development, and for egg production.
Strong colonies of bees sometimes
become suddenly depleted in number,
with not enough loft to keep np the
necessary wurmth to hatch the eggs.
This is beoiuse no young bees have
been hatched, and the old ones, sup
erannuated, left the hive in search of
food and were not able to return
Cows averago 121 pounds of butter
in a year, aud the average prioa is
sixteen cents a pound. Ten cows
would produce 8198.40. One hundred
ewes can be kept on the same feed that
will kcop ten cows. The ewes will each
produce a lamb worth $2.50. They
will yield each seven pounds of wool
at fourteen cents a pound. Seven hun
dred pounds of wool is worth $98,
making an income from the sheep of
8318.

medical practitioners, was us follows:
"We, the underslgne, being members ot
the medical profession, beg to reoord our

respectable households, who oould not or
would not procure intoxicating drinks at
public houses, are enoouraged to purchase
and use theio liquors by the opportunities
offered when visliing the grocer's shop for
other purposes. Femnlo domestic servants
nre often enabled to obtain bottles of spirits,
wine, and beer nt a smnll ooet. or credit, or
a? commission on the household bills. We
therefore protest against the contlnuanoe ot
tho licenses."
The British Medical Association adopted
Ihe following resolution, proposed by Dr.
Drysdnle; seconded by Dr. Gray: "This
meeting is of opinion that grooers' ltoenses

earnestly requests the Government to dis

James Holt, near Di anohville, Ind., while
Intoxicated, went horns last Saturday night
and kicked tha stove over, burning down
Ihe little one-room log shanty which shel
tered his family, after first blaokenlng his
wife's eyes and otherwise disfiguring her

the little church where the family occasion
ally worshipped, and requested permission
to address tbeeongregation.audlben she fol
lowed with a palhetio talk on the evils of
strong drink, making ninny allusions to ber
own battered features ia proof of what she
was saying. Ia the audience was "Bud"
Roberlson, the only whisky dealer In the
township. After she bad concluded, Mr.
Itobertson approached Mrs. Holt and ten
dered 10 toward re-establishing her In a

WHAT 1 DRDNEIRD WILL DO.
A o run bard will sleep anywhere on
bundle of rags thrown in the corner of an
unfurnished room. He will be content with
nny sort of food, will allow his family to go
about lu rags and will be reduced to such an
abject siHte that he will work on any terms,
will necepr less tbau the market rate, will
undersell his fellow workers aud supplies
Ihe cheapest labor that is to b i got.

As long ago as 1847 Dr. Turner declared

Among the sources of the greatest
trouble to the eyesight are the exces
sive use of wine, spirits or beer ; the
indiscriminate administration of
quinine ; and there is even a .case on
reoord-whore a diminution" of vision
has beon traoed to tho wearing of an
artifloial wreath of flowers. Another
souroe of failing vision may be traced
to impeded circulation. The wearing
of tight neckwear, snoh as collars
whioh are too small or shirt-bands or
neckties tightly drawn, nhould bo
avoided, as they prevent tho down
ward column of blood returning to the
heart, and dilatation and development
of disease is likely to follow. The
same rule holds good of cohstriotion
of other parts cf the body. Another
most serious source of eyo-strain is
oonstant reading in railway ooBohes,
which is the practice of nearly all
businoss men in going to and from
their offices and shops, and the injury
to the eye from this cause is incalcula
ble. Nothing gives tired eyes groator
relief than a green disk or square of
snflloicnt size, suspended on a direot
line of vision at or against a wall,
on which the eyes can rest ; but best
of all to look upon is a green grass
plot or green trees. The drop-curtain
in thoatres should havo soones painted
on thom showing green perspective.
It is a rest to the eyes, after the con -centrated
effort mado in tryhig to
watch the facial expression cr eyes of
an aotor, to look upon such a picture.

A taxidermist at Nortwood, N. Y.,
has been making experiments as to the
effect of light reHeoted in a bird's eyes.
A glass seven or eight inches in diame
ter has been found most serviceable.
The antics of blue jays are remark
able when tho light strikos them
as they sit in the Bhndow of an ever
green tree. They jump to another
branch nud try to look into the light,
but they havo to turn away, as the
light dazzles them. They then fly
around tha reflection, but after prao
tioe one is able to keep the liftht always
on them, aud the birds not infre
quently come within thw- reach of a
man's hand, says the Newark Call.
A ruffed grouse gives a startled look
when the light strikes it. Then up it
jumps, and away it goes. Hawks, too,
aro usually startled or annoyed so that
they fly off. Woodpeckers don't teem
to mind it at all.
Ilabbits blink nud flare nt a glass

stump and sit up again, as if waiting
for the light to play tag with thom.
