HOW TO WARM POULTRY HOUSES Bome Kuggostic From a Man of Practioal Experience—How to Ripen Cream—Apples for Cows—Heaves. Warming a Poultry House, How to warm a poultry house in win- ter time i8 a problem, says the Poultry Journal, but there are those who be- lieve that a little heat in winter is an advantage, and among them is Mr. J. N. Fordyce of Sullivan, Ind., who writes: "I want t warm a poultry house floor sufliciently for raising young chicks successfully during winter. The floor is fifty-two feet long by eighteon feet wide. My cheapest {uel is soft conl. Can you give me any plan or refor me 10 any person from whom I can obtain this information? I want to get my house ready this fall, The ceiling is about nine fost high and the floor raised above the level, about eighteen inches, and is of earth, ered with four to six inches of sand. The whole of one side fronting south is of glass. I am a new hand in raising winter chick- ens and am quite anxious to get this in- formation and get to work this fall.” A poultry house should not be made very warm, or the fowls will not endure the cold outside so easily. About 50= above zerois warm enough. In fact, if the thermometer never reaches the freez- ing point it will be sufficient. An ex- cellent plan is to use a common kero- sene o1l lamp, or coul oil stove, sot a joint of stove pipe over it, and lay a tin years of comparative poverty. He was an unknown New Yorker in the semi- distant past, and he was then glad enough to dispose of & manuscript at a small rate. It was genuine literary morit which brought him to the forerround, and it may be added that hislifein Boston has been rather easy and decidedly pleas- ant. But he would not he the editor of the Atlantic to-day if he could afford to getalong without the help of the At- lantie, which periodical, though not a howling success financially, pays him a fair salary, $5,000 a year, T am told. As to Gilder [ doubt if his salary ex- ceeds $8,000 or perhaps $10,000 a but he holds stock in the Ce y pany. and that of course, 18 vaiuable. His nssociates, Clarence Buel and R. N. Johnson, also hold stock in the com- pany, which 1s managed, to some de- gree, on the co-operative principle. In other words, a certain percontage of the profits is divided annually pro rata among the employes of the company. Mr. Gilder’s share of these profits must be a neat sum. The editor of Harper's Monthly, Henry M. Alden, receives about $10,000 a year, anl he devotes his whole time to the magazine. He resides in a New Jersey country place, and stays upnights reading manscripts. The editor of Scribner’s . L. Bur- lingame, is a bright and handsome man who has been for a long time the main- stay of the reading department of Charles Scribner’s Sons. He, too, re- ceives a large salary, Tho editor and proprietor of the Cos- mopolitan Magazine is John Brisbane Walker, He is as rich as he is ambi- tious. He is somewhat over forty, and was formerly a newspaper man—chiefly in business departments, He managed 1o scrape somo inonoy together, went to Denver, bought land there, and ac- cummulated a great deal of money. He has a fine home on the Hudson, and he is spenaing untold thousandsin placing the Cosmopolitan on a definite financial basis. —— A Chinese Afternoon Tea. A pretty device for making tea Chi- nese fashion at the home table avd at afternoon teas, and for serving delicate plate, or something similar over the upver end of the pipe, but not close enough to have the plate interfere with the draught of the lamp. This plan wns suggested by the New York Tribune, and is excellent. ‘The pipe will be hot as long as the oil lasts, and will radiate the heatin all di- rections, while an open lamp simply sends the heat upwards, leaving the floor cold. One lamp for every twenty feet of house will be ample. A drum could be made, if preferred. The lamp ,should be protected, in order to prevent the fowls throwing it over. On damp days it will be very serviceable, as it dries the house. ~There will be no danger from odor or or foul gases if the house is well ventilated during the day. Night is the time the warmth is most needed. More About Ripening Oream. “Perhaps ‘no cream will churn as uickly and thoroughly as that pathered rom shallow pans where thc ml k has been heated until wrinkles be in to show on the top, says the Rural New Yorker. When all butter makers used common milk pans, in which to raise their cream, we heard very little about ripening—in fact, the cream ripened as it gathered on the surface.” This man has no notion of excluding the air, nor that the acid alone 18 the thing that ripens the cream, says the Nebraska Farmer. But he writes intelligently on the subject in hand, and evi- dently knows what he is about. Like many others, he can make good butter in the “'old fashioned way.” Ho not only sets his milk warm, but heats it—in a water bath, we suppose— until the albumen appears in wrinkles on the top. The cream that rises churns aulcl(ly, and we doubt not that it makes ne butter. If he gets the ‘tempera~ ture of the milk down into the fifties, or below, the separation of the fat {rom it is undoubtedly almost perfect. But this is not saying that some other method of creaming is not as good or better. Let us bear in mind that there may be several methoas of accomplish- ing the same end—especially ns we “do not positively know in dairying how any of us ‘‘get there.” Apples for Cows. Many are not aware that apples are excellent food for mileh cows, and gen- erally more valuable to feed than to sell at the low price which can be obtained for the'n for cider making, says the Ne- braska Farmer. The popular impres- sion is that they shrink the mess. But they do this only when fed to excess, and muny other foods do the same. Some years ago we visited the late Prof. L. B. Arnold when he was experiment- ing with the feeding of apples. His tes- timony was strongly in their favor as milk-producing food, they both increas- ing the flow and improving the quality of the milk. Other prominent dairy- men have given similar testimony But care must be taken—at fivst, at {uust—- not to feed them too heavily., Six quarts or a peck aday is sufficient to begin with. Horses with Heaves. A horse with a bad case of heaves is of little value for business. But u diet, largely of oats and bran, wetted to the consistency of thick mush, with nalf the quantity of bright hay usually fed 1o a sound horse, sprinkied with water, and but little water given ata time for drink, will, in nine cases out of ten, fit the animal for daily labor, unless it be a few exceptional days of close, muggy weather, says the St. Louis Republic. ‘The stable at all times is the best place for a horse with heaves, as the groom has control of the quantity and quality of food, which 18 not the case when the animal is in pasture. If the hay be lightly threshed and well shaken to rid of dust, it will be far better, not onl, for the animal so aficted, but for al horses. In some cases straw may be substituted for hay, but it is absurd to assert that straw is botter than hay fer horses generally, To Save seed Corn. J pick my seed corn as soon as the corn is fit to cut up, Sigs 0 correspon- dent in the Farm and Fireside. I husk it and lay it in the chamber to dry, and 1do not care if it does not get so very drr.

I also find it much easier than the old way of saving t. il Pay of Magazine Editors, There ave few literary persons whose standing,socially and financiully, is less understood than the editors of our rominent magazines, says a New York etter to the Pittshurg Post. The most absurd stories apropos to them are cir- culated in a peculiarly reckless manner, 1 have read ouly recently, for instance that Aldrich of " the Atlautic never had to work for his living; Nat Gilder of the Century receives u salary of $20,000 & year—and so forth, ow, the facts are far more trust- worthy, if not more entertaining, than certain newspaper reports, Aldrich worked hard for his living during many refreshment to callers, consists of a hol- low ball of gold or silver about the size of a wainut, suspended from a finger ring by a slender chain four orlive inches long, says the American Aualyst. The ball divides in the middle, and the halves ave hinged. It is perforated with inoumerable holes. Sometimes it is made of gold or silver wire gauze. The hostess uses it in this wise: She opens the hollow ball, fills the halves with dry tea leaves, and clasps it shut. She then slips the ring from which it is suspended upon one of the fingers of the right hand. Filling a teacup with hot water, she lets the ball hang in the cup, und moves it back and forth and up and down until the water is colored to the desired strength. The strength of the tea, of course, depends upon the length of time the ball is dawdled in the cup. The little ceremony is much pleasanter to the eye vhan the old way of pouring out tea, especially if the hostess be graceful and have a pretty modeled hand and wrist. Moreover, it produces an immeasurably finer cup of tea than can be had by any other method. At afternoon teas the hostess sits upon her divan, with the trinket sus- pended from her finger, and makes tea at a table by her side. The tea bell, as it is called, is, moreover, an encourage- ment to the custom, borrowed with it from the Chinese, of serving tea to callers—an _adjunct to entertaining methods which is rapidly becoming popular. Hot water, of course, is al- ways at hand, and this easy and grace- ful way of making the tea in the guest’s presence forbids the suspicion that the lxosmss is putting herself to incon- venience in providing 1it. Besides being refreshing, the tea conduces to case and sociability. e Some favor a tarift for revenuo only, some & tariff with incidental protection, and some & tariff for protection, per se; but a large majority Tayor the free use of Salvation Oil for cuts and bruises.

The marriage took place on a lonely farm in Hungary, a certain Father Imire ofliciating at the wedding ceremony. *'The newly married couple lived to- gether for some time, and afterward visited the girl’s parents in Klagenfurt, where tho father-in-law was constantly fleeced by the alleged count. Quarrels arose, and ultimately it turned out that the young count's tales of himsell were all inventions. The persons he referred to were imaginary, and the inspector was convinced he wasa swindler. Some- thing still stranger, and indeed un- aralleled, soon came to light. Ere long it was found that the so-called count was in reality n _woman of thirty- six, the Countess Sarolta Vay, daughter of the late colonel of Honveds, Count Ladislaus Vay, one of whose daughters, named Sarolta, had been educated as a 0y **All her life she hud worn male at- tire, and recently had appeared in the uniform of the Honveds.

From Pesth, where ececentricities of that sort are hardly a rarity, she disappeared about a year ago, after which she was not again heard of till her arvest, on the demand of her nominal father-in-law, at Klag- enfurt. It is probable that Father Tmre was not a pricst. and that the girl, in going through the form of marriage, only executed another’ eccentricity in order to procure money, of which she was in great need.” e Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills, An important discovery.

In 1550 John Rockefeller would have slain men for their croeds, and, as a last resort, have gone to the stake for hisown. But the enthusiasm of man- kind has taken more matter-of-fact ave- nues, and it is opined that many an ar- dent Baptist has been “let up™ on, and and many a Methodist of performance in his religious ciuss pinched in the various deals over which, as the independent oil men say, John D. Rockefellor always presides as chief crusher. To them he is o sort of busi- ness chief of the torture chamber, whose hands have bribed, pinched, burned and torn those who have fallen into them.

Hecan do all this and still save a little on his income of $9,000,000 ver year. But, withal, he 1s not a strong man socially, though far from exclusive. He keeps up the acquaint- ances of his boyhood. When in the Cleveland public hools John Rockefeller was a set, nar- row boy, mentally built on lines from which uncommon men bave risen before.
