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

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.

the intellect, and a strong desire t<

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. The. course o

A surgeon in the German army calls
the attention of all whohave todo with

from the mouth or nose of a horse
which may have been throwin upon
their clothes. Some months ago, the

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.

to wipe some of the foam from the
mouth or nose of the horse from his

show that the longitude of the Brazil
