Do Hens Reason. 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 ville Gazette, 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 Poultry World. 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.
