Wild Birds in New York Oiyt.
Quite a large numoer of winter birds
have been found living in New York
city, some in the public squares,others
in the streets, cemeteries, and back
ydrds. Othet's areouly seen occasion.
ally flying overhead. Again, there are
the sea-fowl, only found upon the
waters surrounding the island.
In sumner,, the, nighthawk, se long
of wing. aiM wide of -mouth, may'be
seen skimming in the evening twilight
over the house-tops. Sometiu's it.even
ventures out at midday, especially in
cloudy weather. It lays Its two' eggs
on flat roots in New York city, as well
as in Boston. Owls of several speqles
visit us. One winter was famous for
its screech owls, which infested Wash
ington square, and waged war upon
the European sparrows. One' foggy
night, a flock of migrating, long-eared
owls, perhaps confused or storm hind
ered, settled down at the Battery,
where daylight discovered them,-a
motley assemblage of blinking,absurd
looking creatures. 'Among. our rarer
city birds Is the barn owl which was
seen one afternoon in April, 1878, by
H, B, Bailey. When passing up Ful
ton'stree.t, his attention was directed
by a crowd of gaping.citizens to one of
these birds perched upon a housetop
over the street. The bird did not offer
to fly, and was left where It had been
found.
There are several sparrows which
visit city yards In winter, besides the
ubiquitous English sparrow, The
largest, and perhaps the handsomest
of all our eastern sparrows, Is the fox
sparrow. It only appears among the
housas during its spring an(i fall ml
grations; but I found it on Broadway,
in Old Trinty churoh-yard, during the
early part of last December, and it rc
mained in Central Park in considerk
ble numbers until the middle of that
month. Its usual autumn note is a low
tweet, resembling the cedar bird's;
and its flight Is strong and whirring.
The hermit thrush whose very name
implies that It isa shy, retiring species,
apt to select for its abode the fastnesses
of some lonely forest, sometimea visits
city yards during migartions. It is
occasionally seen down-town, in Trini
ty church-yard.
fi sometimes see the black-capped
chickadee in New York. I recollect
one morning, walking up Broidway, I
heard the characteristic tshe-Je-jay,
tshe-de-jay, close at hand. ( looked
about me, but could see nothing of the
bird, and began to wonder whether my
own thoughts had not translated me
from the bustling street into the cour.
try woods; but, as I paused, I heard It
again, this time iti unmistakable 'tshe,
dalgh daigh dalgh; looking overhead.
I saw my friend, parua, perched upon
a telegraph wire critically examining
the numerous strands that formed a
network over the street. Occasionally
desisling from this important employ
ment, he would-take a cool survey of
the scene below. The prospect in the
street evidently pleased him, and the
color and bustle had an exhilarating
effect on his spirits, so that he would
burst forth Intd a voluble expression
of his approval of the goings-on In the
great thoroughfare, and it was this that
.at first attracted my attention.
H~awk s and sea-gulls are occasionally
seen flying over the lower part of the
city, and early in March an oeoasional
bluebird may be heard warblig its
sweet notes of gladness, as it wings its
way to the home it loves best on earth,
In some old orchard farther north.
'These are all of the dowvn-town birds I
have seen; but, during migrations,
many other species tarry a moment on
their way. Five wild Canada geese
once alighted In Broadway, dazed ini
consequence of a thick fog, and, still
more curious, a wood-cock is said to
h ave flown into a room in the upper
atory of the Tribune building.

One day at the invern, the conversa

farmer in the party began to boast of
a turtle that he had, and wvhlch he was
willing to wagor would travel taster
than any turtle in the State. The in
(din, after a long l'arangue, accepted
the challenge, and It was deeided that
the two cuirtles should be maschedl in a
hundred and fifty yard race, stakes to
be a gallion of apple Jack and the tur
tles. The next day a crowdi gathered
near the river to see tihe race, and the
contlesinants soon appearedl, the indiani
wheeling his favorite in a whieelbar
row. A cord was run along the edge
of thme stream, and the tur tie whose
head first p~a-sed it was to be the win

AGRICULTURB.
FALL Culmse.-The quantity of fine
fall made cheese in this country is not
large. If America is to keep up and
increase the quantity of obeese expor- J
ted to Europe. the quality must he
good. "Skims" will not fill the bill.
If any -temporary pecuniary advantage
is gained by making skim-cheeqe it is
more balanced in the long run by sub
sequent losses. The explanation for
the inferior quality of so large a per
centage of the fall make of cheeie is
easy. Cupidity is at the bottom of It.
As soon as the hot weather is over,
many factorled regort to skirAming. A
factory which has made a 'feputation
for producing ohoose of fine quality,
spoils its reputation and ruins its pro
spects by skimming, and at the very
time, too, when -the, best-opportunity is
presented to maintain and enhance it.
It is well to remember that the Sep
tember and October cheeses are those
that are required to carry over for
spring use. If these goo.s are "full
cream' they are rich, solid and desir
able. The factory producing them is
more than likely to - get fn order for
goods xrom abroad the following sea
ton. but suckl will hardly be the case
if skimming.is resorted to.
LicE ON STOCK.-A numbers of let.
ters ask for remedies for lousy stock,
Vermin of some kind very frequently
infest domestic animals; they are most
ly of the louse type; some parasitic ani
mals that musti be removed by the ap
plication ot some insectioide. A num
ber of W~ni stances have been used to a
greater or less extent, of which a few
are mentioned below: One pound of
tobacco and six ounces of borax boiled
in two quarts of water, to which soft
.soap enough is added to make a thick
paste, has proved a good vermin salve.
A mixture of carbolle acid and - soft
soap in the propor'Ion of one t. four,
makes a comijound easy to apply, and
very effectual. Shortly after, the part
to which the soap mixture has been
applied should be washed with pure
water and a-non drying oil rubbed on.
Oil of turpentine Mnd lard oil. equal
parts, with a little carbolic acid is per
haps the convi nient mixture to make,
andi efe -tual in its application. Ani
mals that are al'ected with vermin
need better care and higher feeding
in order to overcome the drain that,
th se paraites make upon the sys
tom.
THE roots of shrubs and trees dug up I
front the woods or fields should be
carefully envered to shield them from
the sun and wind wihile they are being
cariiert home, aUd, ndeed un il plant
ed. -Ti.ey should also be severly cut I
back. The only reason Nihy nursery
trees are u ore saf ly transllanted than I
th.:.se from tue ield and forests is that
a more abundant root growth has been
sezured by transplait ng. The o'd, t
long, woo.Iy roots are cut away and a
more compact growth of fibrous roots j
is induced. A tres in the woods Is
supported by long tap or surface roots
extending far away flom the 6tei.
Tise, in transplanting, must be sacri
fict d. The inequality, then, between
whatremainsand thestein and bi a.ch .
es Is great. The htter must. be cut b ck
to create new equil.brium. Unless so
treated, most forest trees wii alil af
ter. removal.
OA-r AND WHICAT.--The experiment
has been made of sowing oats and
wheat together with a View to gain a
winter covering for the wheat. Tote
seed, in proportion of one part of oats
to two parts of wheat was sown in the
fall and the oats sprang up and Were
killed by the early frosts, the stalks
and leaves lying on the ground all
winter, keeping the snow from blow
ing away and preventing the sun from
thawing the frozen. ground. lit the
s5pting the d sad oats make a good top
dressing for tIce growing wheat. The
crop of whl at si cured on the lollowing

Take with you to the kitchen an old
handkerchief and a coarser piece of rag of
about the same size. Put a lhttle water on
the tire lo boil. Put a large kitchen plate
on the stove (or range) to get hot. Pour
into a bowl twvo heaping tablespoonfuls of
flour, andi a (nearly Liat) tablespoonful of
mustard. While dry, mix thems thorough
ly; then pour a little boiling water 6ver the
mtixtume until it is of the comistence of thin

through any crack .or crevice, as that is
what makes it 'a nuisance'). Putyour hot
plate on the t able, place the coam se~rag upon
it. Lay your "-dough" upon that; then
spreadi over it your old handkerchief, and
with your hand over the hiandker
chief press the dough out to the size re

Mrs. Adam Grubb, 231 Walnut street
[iss been a great sufferer for a number
:f years from extronie pain in the
feet, something like rheumatism. She
was also very much troubled with
,orns and bunions. It was with great
liflculty that she could walk, and
sometimes when she would visit her
husband's shoe store or any of her
children, she could not get home
%gain without assistance, and often
when she was walking along the
streets she would be se!zed with such
acute pain that she was compelled to
stop at the neighbors on her way untti
she got better. Some two weeks ago she
heard of the wonderful curo St.
Jacob's Oil was effecting and she at
once commenced to use It and experi
enced great relief Immediately. The
pains have left her feet and ankles and
the Inflammation has left the corns
and bunions. She Is now tripping 'ap

any pain.

DOMRSTIC.
WHITE AND GLCAN TERrR.-Cleanlt
ness of the teeth is to the eye what
purity of breath is to the enose of
smelling. Nothing, indeed is more de..
saible in the appearance of a lady than
clean, white teeth, and the gums the
color of the rose;. nothing more repul
sive than unoleau, discolored and un
oared for teeththiokly 3norusted with
tartar. The most beautiful face and
lips are disagreeable if thelatter,when
open, exhibit the offensive spectacle
of neglected teeth. The whiteness of
teeth is liable to be lost by the influence
of va bous causes, and they are tarn
ished by the action of different ele
ments and by the exhalations of the
stomaoh. When the loss of whiteness
is occasioned by the production of
tartar; a coral stick may be used to
clean the teeth and to remove the tar
tarous salt; the blackness of the teeth
may be sometimes corrected by pulver
izing equal parts. of tartar and salt,
and, after washing the teeth, rub them
with this powder, The gums cannot
be tealthy unless they are Arm and
red and adhere to the ,ro6ts of the
teeth-these quantities depending in a
great measure on the health. The
gums are.lable to a variety of acol
dents which impair both their health
and beauty, and which often transform
them into very unsightly objects.
Sometimes they grow soft, swell and
appear full of liquid and corrupted
blood, at others, they project and cov
er a great part of the teeth ; they also
become inflamed, painful and affected
with offensive ulcers. A good cleans
ing mixture may be made by amalga
mating an ounce of powdered myrrh,
two spoonfuls of white honey, and a
little green sage in fine powder; wet
the gums with a very little of this at
night and morning. Powdered chai -
coal Is also an affective article for
cleansing and whitening.
Guilty of Wrong.
Some people have a fashion of con
fusing excellent remedies with the
large mass of "patent medicines," and
in this tns they are guilty of a wrong.
There are some advertised remedies
fully worth all that is asked for them,
and one at least we know of-Hop Bit
ters. TLhe writer has had occasion to
use the Bitters in just such a climate
as we have most of the year in Bay
City, and has always found-them to be
first-class and reliable, during all that
is claimed for them.-Tribune.
FRIED CiLF'S READ.-Cut the rem.
Pants or a boiled calf's head Into cork
like pieces of unilorm size, -and put
them into a basin to steep for an hour
or two in the following mixture:
Equal parts of oil and vinegar (tarrag
on), salt, pepper and cloves, according
to taste. Have ready some batter,
made a.4 follows: Beat up together
the yolks of two eggs, two tablespoon
fuls of brandy, one of olive oil and
four or five of cold water. Incorpor
ate with this mixture three table
spoonfuls of flotur and.a pinch of saltj;
keep on beating it for some time, and
add as much more water as will make
it of a proper thickness. When ready

HAIR RE5ToRIATIVE.-A powerful
restorative for the hair is half an
ounce of oil of mace In a pint of deo
dorized alcohol. Pour a spoonful or
two into a saucer; dip a small stiff
brush into it, and brush the hair
smartlv,rubbing the tincture well Into
the roots. On bald spots, if hair will
start at all, it may be stimulated by
friction with a piece of flannel till the
skin looks red and rubbing the tinot
ure into the scalp. Trho process must
be repeated three times a day for
weeks. When the hair begins to grow
apply the tincture once a day till the
growth is well established,bathing the
head in colu water every morninst and
briskly brushing it to bring the blood
to the surface.
