AGRICULTUMM. WATE FOWLS FOR .OARIMRS.-It is i an unaccountable fact that he raising of geese and ducks in quantity for the market is so much neglected by our American farmers while Englishmen possessing only a few acres and access to a stream or pond raise such large numbers with a good profit. Many readers of this paper have creeks run ning thyough barren parts of their land near by wliloh could be placed cheap houses for-geese, as whidh no land or water foWls can be so ,asily raised or at so good a profit. RHiaving once se cured a good breeding stock or three or four geese mated to one ginder, all large line specimens, the same flock ean be retained for breeders for six or elght years at least. In summer they will rive, O ,l pasture alone. The geese llan laf ing 'in February, and lay thei tojifteen eggs. Either a turk6 'h'6n or I large A siatic lien Can be uA ' bincubating, which requires thirt afi; sbrinkle the eggs with tenit(*ter for about ten (lays before hatching." Feed the young goslings "litt~e land often" with bard bcled eggg'. bread crumbs and scalded meal; t!loy are soon-ready to shift for them l vee and canl be marketed without /oxtra fattening as "green geese." Even -the farmer who has no sticam of running water, can raise geesei) prollt ably.by giving them plenty of fresh water for drinking and a large taink or tub for bathing. The principal varle ties of thoroughbred geese are the Toulouse, Brenen or Em bdein and Hong Kong or China. Of these the Toulouse are the largest,hmaving reach edth le naximum weight of sixty poun(1 per pair, and goslings forty etCht and a half pounds per pair, at tle Birming hai *show in England. They are o a gray color, with white on the belly, And are valued for their feathers, and are as oft en as large as the Toulouse the greatest weight ever known being fifty-eight and a half )ounds )er pair. '.t'he meat is very delicate, they are hardy and good layers. The Hong Kong geese are much smaller than uither of the preceding, but are the best. layers knowin ; often laying three or lour litters ia season, and sonic times As 11a1Y as thirty or forty eggs before setting. PUsl YOURt B U'r'ER Cows.- -i t pays to fced cows giving milk, liberally. Butter Is high anld nlow is thle timei to feed Profitably. Every cow should be ina2de to produlc ats matchl buitter as pos. sible. Whenever butter 18 thirty cenmts pIr pound or more, (here is money iII time dairy bulsiness, anid the man who feeds most liberally and J.llekoiously will make the greatest profit. Meal, both cottonseed antl corn, roots pu)p kiiis and lodder corn, should atll cone 1in for a shuai e o0 atteition a1s proflitable J(10( for ldairy cows. Whatever kinds 01 food are used, the Cows should have Ill that they can piofitably turn into inilk. 1Many inen iel that they cannot allord to btay Irain for eeding tocows at t his season of' the year. Let them take a dillerent view, ask thCIiselves it they cain 1aflord not, to buy grain to teed to cowvs when butter is as high lis it Is at.present.

A new Inustrument has just been intro duced to the medioal profession, froni the use of which we may anticipate re suits of great scientiflo importance.. I is named the thermograpli, and Its hur pose Is to continuously record til clianges of the temperature of the body 'l'he principle upon whieh it Is based I: easily understood, and may he briefll explained as follows: A colled sprinA is inade of two laiello of brass an< steel, the brass forming the outer par of the coll. 'I'lis spring is flixed at th< centre, but the free end presses genty against the contents of a short vulea nite tube. As the temperature of th appar-itus rises the metal coil expands and the pressure exerteil by the fre4 end varies and always corresponds t Whe * nperature. TJie vulcanite tubi Is M. I with a powder composed o plimbago, gas carbon, and silver, in i flnely divided condition. The electrica conductivity of this mixture changej with the pressure to which it is sulb jected. Wires froin an electric blitterj are connected so that the cnarrent passos through the powder, and it wil therefore ho understood that with thi rise and ftli of the temperature, and the consegien t ch aniges In the pressur( of the coil upoti the powder, the Inten, sity of the current will vary. It is nov only necessary to arrange ameans o recording these alterations in the cur rent, and this has been done in a verl ingenious manner. A wire helix, o special construction, forms part of thi( circuit, and into this a soft ironcore I passed, free to move up or down. Ti position of' the core Is governed by thi strength of the current, and as the COre rises and falls it commitnicates motioi to all index which records its positior continuously tipon a moving strip o paper. The battery and the recording part of the instrument are placed in t neat cast Iron case. while the coil is in closed in a German silver case aboul an inch and a quarter in diamneter. T< use the thernograph it is only neces sary to place the little case In the ax illa of the patient, and a continuou: record of the temperature Is thus ob talited, Already the instrynent ha: revealed a minor hea, curve character istic of typhold fever, and the physi clan Is therefore enabled to deternin on a diagnosis much sooter than wouk otherwise be possible.

A surgeon in the German army calls the attention of all whohave todo with horses to the danger of using the pock et halidkereblief to wipe away any team from the mouth or nose of a horse which may have been throwin upon their clothes. Some months ago, the writer states, an oflicer cane to him suffering from an obstinate cold and cough. The usual remedies were pre scribed, but In vain ; a visit to the baths at Reichenhall also did the patient no good. Returning to duty., the ofilcer became worse; fever, attended with great pain In and swelling of the head, set in, and ultimately, after much suf. foring, ho died with every symptom of glanders. Inquiries were set on foot, and it was found that some time berore he was taken ill he had ordered a horse which he believed was suffering from glanders to be shot. Neither the groom nor any of the other soldiers who had been near the horse have been attacked by glanders, and consequently it is $us pecLed that the officer who died may have conveyed the disease into his sys. tem by perhaps using his handkerchief to wipe some of the foam from the mouth or nose of the horse from his uniform.
