)? ftmipvuir 1 S"y-2"Tr--:jr w -r Best Kind of i'onltry to Keep Tbis ifl a question ufteu asked, but without knowing pome of the ciruum tances of the Inquirer, it is as hard to answer as would lie the simple inter rogation, "What drR Hhould I kep, or what horse should I keep?" The various breeds of fowls hnve been brought up to certain perfection to meet the variaug, eouliti.or: how much is due to accident or dexlgn we will not now d incus?, but we do find varieties fitted to different circum stances and uses. For instance, n man who wants to raise fowls to kill for market would not think of Hamburg?, nor of the Cochins for soarket epjjs. A large claH of poultry keepers are those who live in Bmali towns, or sub urbs of large ones, who wish to enjoy the pleasures of poultry society, and to have a few fr.eah laid eggs daily ; this can be done with a few birds which would consume the pcraps from the house with profit. To suit such conditions the Brahmas or Cochins axe highly fitted, being very quiet, 4jntle dispositions. If well fed they will be contented in a very small space, lay well through the winter, and are good for the table at any time If in good condition; if not fat, they can be made so in very short time, as no fowlB take on fat so readily. They require but litte fencing to keep them in ; 2 feet high is sufficient. There are other fowls that will bear confinement tolerably well. Some are very hand somesuch as the Hamburg Spanish, and Polands, Leghorns and Plymouth Hocks require a little more liberty. Those that require still more liberty or larger space are Games, Houdans. all other Frenob breeds, and Dorkings. Here let me say of all fowls, space or care is the secret of health ; that Is, the less space the more oare. When kept with full liberty, as on a farm, little care is required with adult fowls in summer ; but as soon as their liber ty Is curtailed, more change of food and cleanliness must be given. For a farm same of the best fowls for, mar ket are the Houdans, Dorkings and 2'lymouths, all large, Bpuare-bodied birds. The two former are far-famed frir tViA flno t?iiTni dnrl Hol'nota flocli they breed large, early Spring chick ens when crossed with light Brahma hens. For egg for market, the Leg horns still hold their own.,, both In quantity, quality and size, all three considered together. After keeping an equal number of white and brown in a house partitioned in the middle, wtb a run at each end for each varie ty, giving them all the same attention the brown proved slightly more pro lificthan the white, during the spring months, and In hardiness and consti tution the chicks of the brown were much the strongest. The circumstan ces were as good as could be wllh both breeds. Pullets-- of each were procured from one party, and the cockerels from others, of the fin est Btrains, and the brown came out ahead. Rural New Yorker. Sipthcria. Dlptheriais a disease which springs from the growth of a real fungus on some of the mucous surfaces of the system, more generally of the throat. It may be spread by contagion of the mucous surfaoe of a diseased with those of a healthy person, as in kisa Ing, and is to a limited degree-epidem-jc. From the local parts affected, it spreads to the whole body, affecting the muscular and nervous systems, vitiating the'.Jymph and nutrient flu ids, and producing paralysis. As ' soon as the vacterium or fungus ap pears in white patches on the throat, it should no more be neglected than a ,- bleeding gash, or a broken arm, and there is almost as little need-of a fatal termination of oue incident as of the other. It has been found by actual experiment, both In and out of the hu man system, that this vacterium ib killed by several drugs, the safest and most certain of whioh Is chlorine wa ter. This wash is harmless, even when swallowed, and is pretty certain to arrest the disease. A well known physician in this city, who has pur ' -sued this treatment for fifteen years, . has found it effective almost without exception, and has in that period of ten broke up the disease in localities .. where it had raged violently, and de fled treatment. Prior to its use, he . los't three cases out of six, but has since used it with soarcely a, failure, during the above mentioned period. The recent great cyolopedia of Zien misen on the practice of medicine, gives the highest place to this method ; of treatment. To keep the patient well housed, and warm, with addi tional flannel clothing, and to keep the system well nourished, and the bowelB open, are matters often neg leoted, but, with care in these matters, and early application of the remedies above suggested, tb'ere is no need of the disease proceeding to a fatal ter mination, or even to the debilitating illnesB, and painful cauterization which go together in its later -stages. Springfield Republican. Keep Straight Ahead. Pay no attention, to slanders and gossip-moDgers. Keep straight on In your course, and let their backbiting . die the death of neglect. What is the use of lying awake at nights brooding over the remark of some false friend, 'that runs through your brain like lightning? Whatls the use of get ting into & worry and fret over gossip that has been set afloat to your dis- ' ad vantage, by some meddlesome busy body who has more time than charac ter? The things cannot possibly In jure you unless, indeed, you take no tice of them, and in combating them give them standing and character. If what Is said about you la true, set yourself right; if it Ib false, let it go for what It wIlHetob. If a bee sting yon, would you go to the hive to de stroy it? Would not a thousand come upon you ? It is wisdom to say little respecting the Inurles yon have re ceived. We are generally losers in the one if we stop to refute all the baok biting and .gossiping we may hear by ths way. Tbey are annoying, it Is true, but not dangerous, so long bb we do not stop to expostulate and scold Our characters are formed and sustain ed by ourselves, by our own actions and purposes, and not by others. Let us always bear in mind that "calum niators may usually be trusted to time and the slow but steady justice of publioopiuion." Hanging Baskets. There U nothing more beautiful among floral ornaments for winter, than a well-filled ami cared for hang ing basket, audi as many have been accustomed to seeing only miserably filled and more miserably cared for. Such persons cannot be blamed for not having any particular liking for them, for the really beautiful "hang ing garden," as It might be called, is? unknown to them. A great many suppose a hanging basket is merely a niaM, round re ceptacle of some kind, filled with a few common climbera and drooping plants. These may be made quite pretty, but the finest style of hanging basket or garden, is made about as long as the window is wide, and about a foot wide, to be suspended so as to be above the bottom sash. Any rougli box of the above dimensions, made of half inch boards, about five Inches deep, and coverd with pieces of birch bark, nicely tacked on the sides and bottom, makes a very tasty and pretty appearance whed filled with plants. The soil in a hang ng basket need not he very rioh, as a rank growth Is not desirable, for the rich plants would soon outgrow their proper space; eoil composed of rotten sods leaf mould and a liberal dressing or sand Is the bett. For climbing and drooping plants select those of a claan healthy growth ; for climbing nothing excelH the Ger man ivy, ijtapomea, mortonii, Tropte olom, lbhianum, coboea scandea, sweet potato or Japan variegated, honeysuckle, and for drooping the ly simaohia numuiaria.Baxifrugas linaria (coliseum ivy,), tradescantias, (espec ially the newer variety t. acquatica) vlncas, micania scandens, polygonum scandens, Fedums, lobelias, crassula and ivies are! excellent and of clear and rapid growth. For upright growth, without sup port, the varieties of dwarf germani uuriB, the begonias, coleus, achyran thes, cuphea, drartena, ferns, centau ries, cyclamen, nnrembergia, petu nias, peristrophe augustifolium and heliotropes are all good, aa-i the list might be made much longer aud in clude many other excellent kinds but the above will be sufficient to make a good selection from. Do not under take to put in too many plants as it causes confusion and crowding, caus ing them to drop their foliage and look "so forlorn.1 A basket of Blze named may hold to advantage germanium orticulatum, germanium Jean Sisley, silver germa nium Mr. of Snow, trl-color germani um Mrs. Pollock, dracajna terminalis, for centre, with a centaurea, gymno carpa on either aidsi two nurembergia (n. frutescens.) with lobelia, caelestl db or gracilis, and interspersed with linaria, cyinhnlaria for drooping, and Ivies for climbing plants, making a very handsome and attractive orna ment, and if kept in good health, aud well watered will last without re newing for a whole season. Cor. Our American Farmer. Some Western- Ranchmen. During my trip hereabout, I have visited the ranches of several New York, Boston and Philadelphia boys, who have left home luxury to become ranchmen, and who are making mon ey rapidly in the growth of cattle and Bheep. Among those who have ex changed the comforts of the east for this life of adventureand exoitement are Professor Clarence King ; Charles Motley, s nephew of the dead histori an ; L. G. Briggs, son of Richard Briggs, the Boston merohant; Wil bur Raymond, who graduated from Wesleyan University, class of 1874; Galusha A. Grow, Jr. a nephew of Sidney Dillon, and many others whose names I might mention. Clar ence King Bays the only true way to live in this world is to raise stock on the Laramie plains during the summer months apd spend your win ters alternately in Now York, London and Paris. There is facination about this wild, roving, adventurous, inde pendent life of a ranchmen, which I can readily understand captivates young men of birth and education es pecially when there is money In the business. "When I am my own mas ter I am not tied down and can make five times as much money as I could at any business in Pennsylvania, it is not surprising," Bald Mr. Grow, to me "that I should enjoy this life." Ma ny of the ranch houses a few miles away from here are made of old worn out rail ties, when new were cut in the Medicine Bow and other neigh boring ranges of mountains, and float ed down in the Laramie and other streams to the railroad track. A man in Kansas who was too mean to advertise land he wanted to sell, put up a written notloeln one of the hotels the other day. A man who wanted to buy a small farm was re ferred to the written notice, when he replied, "I can't buy land at a fair price from any man who does his ad vertising in that way. He would steal the fence, the pumphandle and barn-doors before he gave up posses sion." In'New Haven the other night a woman came to the police station and eaid she felt bo remoreeful for having tried to strike her husband she want ed to be locked up as a punishment. If tbis thing becomes any way oom- raon the oountry will have to build a lot of new and commodious jails. "Where ia tlxe dollars of our fath ers?" shrieks an ezohange excitedly.. You needn't look this way so intently. We're willing to be searched.- Rock land Courier. FOR THE HOUSEHOLD. A Remedy fob Cataurh. Dry ami powder mullen leaves, as fine as you would powder sage; then mnoke as you would tobacco, letting the smoke escape through the nostrils in stead of the mouth. This is one of the best remedies for catarrh in the head. It has entirely cured a case- of over twenty years' standing, when every other remedy heard of failed to do so. It may require a little practice to let tiie smoke escape through the nostrils. Mullen will be stronger If gathered before the frost injures it, but will an swer even if dug from under the snow. It will also be found an excellent rem edy for cold in the head. Canceb. Cure. An old Ind'an doc tor In Oregon, pronounces this a sure cure: bruise Take common wood rioriel, in brass, spread it in the form of a poultice, and apply as long as the patient can bear ; then apply bread and milk poultice until the pa tient can bear the wood sorrel again ; continue this until the cancer is drawn out by the roots. Stramonium, known also as James town (corrupted into jimson) weed, is an effeotive remedy for snake bites, and will cure them even some days after they are inflicted. The weed should be applied in the form of a poultice. In the absence of any oth er remedy, cauterizing the part with a live coal is good especially for hors es and cattle. Another Big Wheat Story The Vanceburg (Ky.) Courier has seen a head of African wheat in bloom that is fourteen incites long and look ed as If it would have made a pint of grain. It grows ten feet hifch, pro duces two crops from oue stalk, and will yield one hundred and fifty bush els to the acre. The Courier thinks It will revolutionize the wheat pro ductof this country. Centennial Biscuit. Make good corn mush, just as if you were going to eat it with milk. When it Is luke warm, take a quart of It, work in flour enough to make a stiff dough, make into biscuit, put in your bake pan.and set in a warm place over night ; bake In a very hot oven, and yon have the best and sweetest biscuit you ever ate. Eat while hot for breakfast. Wild- Crab apple Jelly. Wash the fruit, and with a sharp knife re move the blossoms and stems ; cover with water and boil until soft; then strain, add 1 pound of sugar to each pint of juice; boil 15 or 20 minuteB. This is very nice. A subscriber asks : Will you please give your readers a good recipe for making sweet pickles of green toma toes? The following is one- I have tried for several years. It is good and cheap : Slice one peck of green to matoes; dissolve one pint of salt in water enough to cover them ; let them soak over night ; then rinse iu clear water, and drain. Take one gallon of cider vinegar, three pounds of brown sugar, cloves, allspice, cinnamon to your taste, and boil slowly for half an hour. New York's richest millionaires are rated aB follows : -William H. Van derbilt?$75 ,000.000 ; John Jacob Astor, $60,000,000; William Astor, $30,000. 000 ; Peter Goelet (estate), $25,000,000; Russel Sage, $12,000,000 ; Moses Tay lor, Judge Hilton, Fredrlok Stevens, aud Catherine Wolfe, each, $10,000,- 000. Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes said, the other day : "A hysterioal woman is a vampire, who sucks the- blood of the healthy people about her." And now the papers throughout the land have leaders on this new "National Domestic Evil," and discuss "vam pire women" as a subject of public in terest. Now come the days when the stur dy farmer dumps a load of dirt' into some mud hole in the highway, yells, "Haw, Buck!" at his off ox, pricks the nigh one with a bradawl, and goes home under the impression that he has worked, out his road tax in full. Moderately fat animals are the most profitable. Every excessively fat an imal has been fed at a loss, during the latter part of its feeding. When an animal ib ready for market, sell it ; if there ia feed left, buy some more lean animals, and feed them. "The nim ble sixpence" bring the profit. A California well caved in on a Cal ifornia digger, and he was under the dirt for three days. He asked for fried eggs when taken out, and then inquired if Tilden had yet been sworn in. It Beems as though he had been buried two months. Detroit Free Press. "Knowledge ia .power." Police man! "Now then, move on! there's nothing the matter."
