HOUSEHOLD MATTERS. How to Make OncChickeu co Round for a Larg:e Family. T The follewing I think a novel way of using a fowl and making much of it, and likewise rather original. First select a yellow-skinn:d fowl weighing about four pounds; after a good singe- ^ ing wash well in cold water, and put cj over the fire iu a kettle with plenty of water; let it boil; throw away this water, je as it removes any taste of feathers; then return to the fire and cover with cold water, and boil slowly until tender. Season well with salt and peppe:'. Next, u. take ur> and ioint and Dick out all the best meat, both dark and light, and cat q in pieces one or two inches square (or long), cut the liver and heart also in Sieces, the size of di e. mi* well with ark and light meat, and place in a deep ^,( stone or earthen dis!? and pour from the ^ kettle enough of the top of the broth to ^ completely cover the meat. Set away for jj future use. a, Return all that remains, bones, skin j and all, to the remainder of the broth, ^ and boil until the bones nre perfe; tly p] clean. Now strain through a colander jj. and pick out the bones; next chop all you V( have, skin gizzard and meat very fine? g the finer the better. If onion is not distasteful, slice a small one, and add two or three cloves, and boil in the broth a few minutes; then skim out and add the j0 chopped chicken, and boil only a few U] minutes. It is ready to use, either with to a little thickening poured over thick <p slices of toasted bread, or as a soup tc which cannot be ex elled. A pound of bread cut very thin and toasted a nice m brown to crumb, is nice in place of vege- ipj tables or cracker. This amount will cj serve six hearty persons. Now for the cj choice bits: Say, the third day after the f0 soup (in cool weather), make pie or turn- " overs. Warm the chicken and drain through a colander, leaving the broth in C? the k.ttle for gravy. Next take three w pints of unsifted fiour (about two m pounds). Sift twice or thrice through a fine sieve your baking powder, add aj salt and three tible-poonfuls of pulverized su^ar. Wet with swe.t milk; make v/ a dough just stii eno gh to handle. Roll ^ the dough thin and spread over it one- ^ fourth pound of shortening?butter is best and should be soft?t'len sprinkle with rj( flour nnd roll up. Cut up in pieces as for biscuit, roll about one-h.ilfau inch thick, and you have a circle the size of a saucer. Wet the edge half way round, m % * ~t_ ? - ? x- 1 1? m lay on pieces 01 cn:cKe i 10 cover nun the size, turn over the empty half and po pinch the edges firmly together. Butter a dripping pan, lay oa the turnovers so jg that the seam will be at the top, and be m careful to lay t! em futficieutiy apart to cr give each room to rise, for rise they will if they are good. With a sharp-pointed knife- make tt small hole in tho top of fj>] each and partly insert h piece of butter. or Bake in a hot oven as long as large biscuit. Serve very hot with plenty of chicken gravy, whic h is macte with a small piece of butter and flour added to the broth. Now what have thcfe two dinners cost?

ShelU'Ti. j Seven Points in Managing Milk. 1 1. To make the 13nest-flavored and nffest keeping butter the cream must idergo a ripening process by exposure i the ox'.vgen of the air while it is rising, he ripening is very tardy when the mperature is low. 2. After the cieam becomes sour, the ore ripening the more it depreciates, he sooner it is then skimmed and lurned the bette~, but it should not be turned while too new. The best time r skimming and churning !s just before iidity becomes apparent. 3. Cream makes better butler to rise in Id air than to rise in cold water, but it ill rise sooner in cold water, and the ilk will keep sweet longer. 4. The doeper the milk is set the less ring the cream gets while ri-ing. I 5. The depth of setting should vary ith the temperature; the lower it is ie deeper milk may be fet; the higher, ie shallower it should be. (5. While milk is standing for cream to se, the purity of the cream, and conse lently the fine flavor and keeping of j * e butter, will be injured if the surface j the cream is exposed freely to air uch warmer than the cream. 7. When cream is colder than the sur- ^ unding air, it takes up moisture aud ipu:ities from the air. When the air colder than the cream, it takes up ^ oisture and whatever escapes from the earn. In the former case the cream . irifies the surrounding air; in the latter 1 ,se the air helps to purify the crcam. ^ tie selection of a creamer should hinge ' i what is most desired?highest quality r ' greatest convenience and economy in I me, space aDd labor.?Professor Arnold. 1 System of Fattening Fowls. Dr. Bennett says, according to his ex- ? rience, feeding houses, nt once warm id airy, with earth floors well raised, * id capacious enough lo accommodate renty or thirty f,;wls, have always sticededbest. The floor may be .? lightly t ;tcred down, the litter often changed, a id the greatest c!eanlin:ss observed, i indy gravel should be placed in several i ffercnt layers and often changed. A \ fticient numberof trou?hsfor both water 1 id food should be placed around, th-.;t v e stock may feed with as little inter- I ption as possible from cach other, and c :rchcsin the same proportion should be a mished for those birds which are in- t incd to perch, which few of them will t isi: e after they have be^aa to fatten, i it which helps to keep them easy and ntented until that period. In this mode c wis may be fattened to ihe highest j tch and yet preserved in a healthy s lte, their llesli being equal in qua'ify lo s e barn door fowl. To suiter fattening I wl to perch is contrary to the general r actice, since it is supposed to bend and c :form the breast bone, but as soon as c eybe.ome heavy and indolent from ], uding they will rather incline to rest in t raw, and the liberty of perching on the v mmencemcnt of their cooping has a r ndcucy to accelerate the period when c iey are inclined to rest on the floor. f It has always been a favorite maxim \ nong breeders that the privation of ?ht?by inclining fowls to a constant r ate of repose?excepting when moved i f r the appetite for food, promotes and i r celcrales obesity. It may possibly be I * , tnougn not promotive 01 neaitii; out; it is no question tliat a state of obesity j >tained in this way cannot be a st;ite of I v :altli. a renl question arises?whether i E m l'csh of animals so fed can e juai in v ivor, nutriment and solubility that of e same species fed in a natural way? icuniary and market interests may. per- j i])s, be best answered by the plan of t irkness and dose coniincmcnt; but a j j eder for his own tiblc, of delicate [ t stc6, and ambitious of furnishing his i tard with tho choicest and most salu- I j, ious viands, will declare for the nalu-1 ^ 1 mode of feeling; and, in that view, j ' feeding yard graveled and sown with j * c di.'.erent kinds of grasses, tlie'roo n :ing open all day for the fowls to | tiro at pleas.ire, will h:ivc a decided eferencc as the n arest approach to the irn door system. p Insects and animal food also form a a tit of the natural diet of poultry, are b edicinal to them in a weakly state, and j p e want of ." uch food may somtimes irn- | s< :de their thriving. t All practical and practicable plans have t cir peculiaradvantages; anions other?, r at of leaving poultry to forage and ift for themselves. But where a steady d regular profit is required from them, b c best method, whether for domestic use g sale, is constant high ke.-p from the | ri ginning, whence they will not only be j n ways ready for the table with vc:y little | t: :tra attention, but their flesh will be ' c perior in juiciness and rich flavor to j ose which are fattened from a low and ' n laciated state.

Patent Windpipe for a Valuable Horse. irhere is a curiosity in horseflesh at a cii livury stable in Cincinnati. It is Wil Li Hcnth, the famous trotting horse, which 1* breathes through a tubs inserted in the i windpipe. The operation was performed of by Dr. L. A. Anderson, a veterinary surgcc>n, at the Fair Grounds in Carthage. 0\ Some time ago the horse was afflicted wit h influenza. He was in Texas, and by nor fvht. rnlrl whifli resulted in contrac- 1 lio:i of the muscles of the larynx. The ^ animal became wind-l>rokcn, and was ? comparatively useless for raring purposes. He had a record for a mile of 2s21 1-4, and his owner had won large bueis. Will Heath was brought to Cin- to cinnati, and Dr. Anderson expressed the s? opinion that he could cure him. The 0,1 owner was afraid to allow the operation 1 until Anderson had experimented on an th? old black, wind-broken horse of no value. 0t A f mall slit two inches in lenglhwascut i in :he throat and a silver tubs inserted. Th: black horse got better immediately. 1 and then the operation was tried on Will Hcith with perfect success. Tracheotomy iW is often resorted to in surgery, especially du with children suffering from diphtheria. i Aflcr the operation the horse became m( easier arid breathed freely through the ^ siher tube, through which the aire mes n0 out with tremendous force. If one holds iai his hnnd in front of it he is reminded of the wind from a blast furnace. The tube first put in the windpipe was withdrawn 80 and a permanent one iaserted. The horse j by is in perfect physical condition, eats wsll _ anc. seems to be entirely satisfied. He is a handsome specimen of equine flesh, about fifteen hands high, of sorrel color. P| anc. six years old. He is valued at 000. ^ Visions of Liquor-Inflamed Minds. tii A St. Louis doctor says to a Globe-Dem- So ocrat: "I ha e had a large experience in treating gentlemen suffering from the j an effects of alcohol; in other words, 'the \ ac jims.' The popular idea that all of these 1 jir unfortunates'see snakes'is a mistake. I /?" hac: one patient, a man whom I never fsuspected of being in any way aesthetic, wh:> lay on his bed and struggled against ln^ a sufTo.atiug sense of a shower of beautiful. fragrant cut flowers constantly pour- 501 ing upon him from the blue sky that in ^ his delirium had taken the place of the [ amokj ceiling of his little hotel bed- | room. Another complained that for a t i day a brass band lind been concealed | near him, which played without cessation " some unpopular 'popular air.' A very obese lawyer, well-known throughout the State, ft once capcred into my room and informed $ me that he was a "bounding ga-ellc." ^ He acted more like a rhinoceros, and I ?. gave him the third hypodermic before T| he quieted down sufficiently to take the 7 carriage to a quiet retreat. For nearly four days I had a patient who would 5?; real books and conve sa rationally, ex- *s?' cept at intervals he would l.-an on his a: elbow and intently watch (and minutely m? d scribe to me) the maneuvers of a Iwge body of pigmy soldiers on his bed room ? floor. 1 have ha I them write checks by the hundreds, and for larg_* amounts; F and I have lnd them d( claim in long- ? i forgotten 1 atin and Greek.

We have so often s;en fatal results follow edeclaration that it can be cured, that we ve unconsciously settled down in the belief at this disease must necessarily prove fatal [t is true that occasionally a community has tnessed an isolated cafe of what may apopriatelybe termed spontaneous recovers-, it to what combination of favorable circummces this result was due none have hitherto en found able to determine. We have now the gratifying fact to announce at the process by which nature affects this >nderful change is no longer a mystery to e medical profession, and that the change3 ought about in the system under favorable rcumstances by intrinsic causes may be ide as certainly and more expeditiously by e use of the proper remedy. In othir words, iture is imitated and assisted. ruberculous matter is nothing more or less an nourishment imperfectly organiziJ. dw, if we can procure the organization of 1 :a food material f>o that through the process elective affinity it may take its place in the I stem, we can cure the disease. This is just a at Piso's Cure for Consumption does. It arsta at once the progress of the disease by eventing the further supply of tuberculous atter,for while the system js under its influice all nourishment is organized and asslmited. It thus controls cough, expectoration, ght-sweats, hectiG fever, and all other charteristic symptoms of Consumption. Many physicians are now using this mediae, and all write that it comes fully up to its commendations and makes Consumption one the diseases they can readily cure. The forming btage of a disease is always the ast auspicious for treatment. This fact ould induce persons to resort to the use of so's Cure when the cough is first noticed, lether it has a consumptive diathesis for its cse or not. for this remedy cures all kinds of ughs with unequaled facility and prornptss. In coughs from a simple cold, two or ree doses or the medicine have been found fficient to remove the trouble. So in all disses of the throat and lungs, with symptoms nulatlng those of Consumption, Piso's Cure the only infallible remedy.
