Luck Hooper writes from Paris to
the Philadelphia Press " The greateat
curiosity in the Jardin d'Aoclimation
is the singular fowl-fattening maohine,
which has been in operation for
a short time, bat which is a great success.
Imagine the top of a round teatable
divided off into sootions, with a
partition between each section and a
board in front with a half-moon-shaped
aperture in it. In eaoh of these sections
an unhappy duok or ohioken is
oonflned by a chain to eaoh leg, and
under eaoh is fitted a tray, which receives
all the dirt and is emptied daily.
Through the center of this structure
goes a ronnd post, and there is a series
of suoh tea-table tops to the roof of the
building, e?ch with its divisions and
its imprisoned fowls. At stated inter
vala a man cornea ronnd with a somewhat
complicated machine filled with a
kind of thin gruel, and fitted with a
pipe at the end of a long India-rubber
tube. He introduces this pipe down
the throat of a duck, presses down a
pedal with his foot, and a certain quantity
of food is forced through the tube
into the creatures craw, a disk above
showing exaotly what amount of force
he is to use and how much food passes.
This process iB gone through with each
fowl till all are fed, and it is repeated
four times a day for ducks and three
for ohiokens. Two weeks snffloa to fatten
a duok, but three are necessary for
a chicken. Apart:from the necessary
oonfinement of the birds the prooeBS
does not seem to be a cruel one, as the
amount of food forced down their
throats is not excessive. The duokB
whioh I saw fed did not seem to suffer
in the least, and in faot when they saw
the man approach most of them became
olamorona for immediate attention, and
pluoked at his clothes as he passed,
with eager beaks.
The Barrel of Pork.
it appears mat me recent action of
the Oinoinnati Chamber of Commerce
in adopting the national standard barrel
of mess pork was in violation of an
Ohio law, and therefore is nugatory.
The law reads as follows :
" That each barrel of beef or po>rk
put up for exportation in this State
shall contain 200 pounds weight of.
Bound, clean, well-slaughtered meat,
and such only as is well-fatted, which
shall be denominated as fellows: *
* * Each barrel of mess pork shall
consist of twenty-five pieoes, of eight
pounds weight eaoh, as near as may be,
making 200 pounds of pork, taken from
the middlings or sides of hogs weighing
upward of 200 pounds each. * * *
The pieces of pork shall be- packed on
the edge, with at least fifty pounds of
clean, fair salt, and two ounoes of saltpetre
to eaoh barrel, and when thus
packed and headed eaoh barrel shall be
filled up with strong pickle."
This makes it clear that neither the
present standard nor the previous one
of 196 pounds conformed to the law.
Indeed, one is as oomplete a violation
of the statute as the other, and consequently
the Chamber of Oommeroe cannot
entoroe the new standard.
Wh?t-Qrowlii( Maxims.
Somebody has been at the trouble of
oondensing a great deal of information
about wheat-growing in a very small
oompass, and somebody else has set it
afloat without eredit. If we could, we

The best soil for wheat is a rioh clay
loam.
Wheat likes a good, deep, soft bed.
Olover turned under makes just such
a bed.
The best seed is plump, heavy, oily
and olean.
About two inohes is the best depth
for sowing the seed.
The drill puts in the seed better and
cheaper than broadcasting.
From the middle of September to the
last of October is the best time for
sowing.
If'drilled, one bushel of seed per
aore ; if broadcasted, two bushels.
One heavy rolling after sowing does
mnch good.
For flour, out when the grain begins
to harden; for seed, not until it has
hardened.
T* PreMrre Grapet.
A lady from Westfleld, Pa., writes a
very appreciative letter. She sends
the following : " First, pick off all unsound
or unripe ones, and lay the dusters
in an empty room on papers until
dry, for in all packages some will be
crushed and dampen others. Then an
empty crate will do to pack them in.
First a layer of grapes, then a thickness
of paper, so as to exclude the air
and keep them separate, then grapes,
then paper, and so on until you have
three or four layers?no more. If the
box is to hold more, put in partitions
to support the others that are to be
packed. We packed hundreds of
pounds thus last year, and (her kept
perfectly until the middle of March,
and, had the supply not been exhausted,
they could have been kept
much longer.
Let Us Consider.
Since the introduction of distilled
spirits in the sixteenth oentary, they
have been habitually prescribed as
remedies. We know thai aloohol, in
all its forms, is pernicious to health.
Knowing these things, end that under
l1 the system of treatment which includes
their nee, the mortality ajoong the sick
is, and ever has been, enormous, is it
not worth while to try the effect of a
remedy which combines in their high,
.est excellence the qualities of a tonic,
an alterative and a regulator; contains
no mineral bane or murderous alkaloid
or aleoholie poison ; does its curative
office without pain, and with uniform
oerteinty? Dr. Walker's Vinegar Bitten
fulfills all these conditions, and is
now effecting the most extraordinary
cures in oases whsre every "specific
of the faculty has ignominionsly failed.
Consider, in view of these facts,whether
any sick person is justified by reason
ana common sense in declining to test
the virtues of this undefined end irresistible
remedy.?Com.

the immense sum of $1,312,500 in fruitless
efforts to find a process. Nothing
iaunted. Mr. Lester oontinued his experiments;
and within*the past ten
years be has discovered a way of making
the refuse into fine velvet. He carries

returning health, and my prayer Is that it may help
others afflicted with the kidney difficulty as It has
me. In fact, I am so much better that I oonaldei
myself almost cured. I csum t recommend your
Spring Wster too highly, as It has done for me what
medicine could not do and has failed to do, and I
am confident, although I was to bad off, that the
Water In the end will effect a radical cure. I shall
send for more Water soon, and drink and drink
until I am entir*lp cured, and if I can induce others
thus afflicted to use the Wster, I shall feel that I
have done something to relieve my feliow creatures
of the most dreadful diseases that mankind la hair
to. Respectfully yours,
Mas. Cuxslotts Hubbakd.
CAUTION.
On account of the popularity of the
Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machines, parties
have iargely been engaged in purchasing
old and second-hand machines of that make,
and imposed upon the public by selling them
as new machines. The Wheeler & Wilson
Company begs to advise the public that any
one desiring to buy their second-hand
machines can be supplied by that Company
direct, on better terms than others can afford ^
them, and be assured of what they are buying.
