A ben nitule a nest In ft box In the
baggage car, mid In the course of time
had fifteen eggs Bnd stuck to tbeiu
through thick and thin night and day,
excrpt to step oft' the train occasionally
to get food and water, and recently
hatched thirteen chickens, notwith
standing the rumbling, rolling process
the eggs passed through. Mr. Bhriver
( baggage master) says that after the
sitting process began Bhe would frequent
ly, when off the tiest in search Of food
and water, get left by the train at
Shelby vllle and sometimes at Wartrace,
and on such occasions she would quietly
wait for the train to return, and some
times meet it when it came in Bight and
fly into the baggage car and get on the
nest Immediately. When the train
stopped for wood Bhe would sometimes
fly out to get something to eat, and when
the car bell rang she would fly back im
mediately. She would sometimes mani
fest her Joy at the appearance of the
train by cackling at a high rate. Mother
and chickens are all doing well. Shelby

ejy There are four native modes of
making butter in the empire of Brazil.
The first Is by putting the milk In a
common bowl and beating it with a
spoon, as you would an egg. The second
by pouring the milk Into a bottle, and
shaking it till the butter appears, when
it is removed by breaking off the top of
the bottle. The third, where the dairy
is more extensive, Is performed by fill
ing a hide with the milk, which is
lustily shaken by an athletic native at
each end until butter is produced. The
fourth, which is considered to Indicate
vast progress over any of the preceding
methods, consists in dragging the hide
or leathern vessel, filled with milk, on
the ground after a galloping horse until
it is supposed the butter is formed. The
milk is never strained and the butter
never washed.
A New Use for Onions.
A New Hampshire paper states that
the Bpeediest way to cure the epizootic
and make a horse thoroughly happy is
to give him onions. In proof whereof
the case of a Portsmouth horse is cited,
which had a severe attack of the disease,
and his owner placed half a dozen onions
with his regular feed. The horse ate
three of the onions immediately, and by
the time he had swallowed them, began
to cough and sneeze and prance about,
appearing quite indignant, and refusing
to touch the remaining onions. Vol full
five minutes he wept at the nose, and
then he was a cured horse. He has not
had a cough, a sneeze, nor any symptoms
of the epizootic since, but he had the
courage to eat the onions remaining in
the crib the next day after the cure.
Poultry Diet.
Cayenne pepper, mustard or ginger
can with great benefit be added to the
food of fowls, to increase their vigor,
and to stimulate egg-production. This
apparently artificial diet will seem to be
natural if we remember that wild birds
of the gallinaceous genus get access to
very many highly-spiced berries and
buds ; articles that give the u game
flavor," to their flesh. The ordinary
food of the domestic fowl is not entirely
without some such addition, since there
being more or less aromatic principle in
wheat, Indian corn, and other grains.
Nevertheless it is not sufficient in
quantity to supply the place of the
stronger spices, a taste for which is a
part of the fowl's Inherited quality. A
moderate quantity of Cayenne, &c,
added to the ground grains is productive
of health and thrift in poultry. The

Facts for the Housekeeper.
The housekeeper may not know that
a few drops of carbolic acid iu a pint of
water will clean house plants from lice
in a very short time. If rats enter the
cellar, a little powdered potash thrown
into their holes, or mixed with meal
and scattered in their runaways, never
fails to drive them away. Cayenne
pepper will keep the buttery and store
room free from ants and cockroaches.
If a mouse makes an entrance into any
partofyour dwelling, saturate a rag
with cayenne in solution, and stuff it
into the hole, which can then be repair
ed with either wood or mortar.
Tree Felling by Eleetrlcity.
One of our sharp countrymen fells
trees and saws timber by means of a
platinum wire at a white heat. The
wire Is heated by a current of electricity
and then drawn gently through the
wood, burning its own passage. , The
cut surface ia slightly charred, but for
timber used in the rough the charring
has a preserving effect.
