"VW.. haATTENING .AND MARXETING BOULTAY1 RELGIUM. Editor A. 2. Hunter, of Farm Poul- try, has been visiting the poutiry mar- ket of Brussels, Belgium, and. tells of his visit in a letter in this paper. We take from it the following extracts: Desiring tie see the poultry markets at the lee.st time, ailr. Hunter arrived. at the market place a little before 4 o'clock in the inverting, where there were, and 'were arriving, hundreds of peasant farmers, eacill with his little cart loaded with chiekens, ducks or pig- eons. The carts were almost slaws drawn by dogs, sometimes one, gener- aely two or three, in a few instances four. The chickens and ducks brought to market had been dressed by members of the family the day before, and were packed in hampers, baskets, which would. hold about twenty ducks or for- ty chickens. Clean straw, cut just the length to fit the basket, was put be- tween the layers of chickens or ducks. the pigeons appeared. to be brought to market alive, and were being dressed as wanted for customers. Evidently the commission merchant is unknown to the 'legion peasant farmer who is his own "middleman," dealing directly with the buyers. These may he families, the stewards of hotels, or keepers of shops, or keepers ot steels in the market, who buy to sell again. The families don't all send, out to this early market on the pavement; many buy in the regu- lar market, or some near -by provision shop, the keeper of which was himself gone to the early market for his stock. „No one can traverse the markets of Brussels with his .eyes open without realizing that the consumption of poul- try is enormous. It is "poultry to right of him, poultry to left of him, poultry in front of him." And where does it all come from It is raised all over the country, every household hav- ing " a few fowls," and there being sure to be two or three or four flocks of chickens rimming about or in and out of the hedgerows. There are no large poultry farms, no farms where poultry is kept on a large scale. This enormous total is the ag- gregate of many littles. The men who raise the chickens do not; fat. them and. sell them to market. That is an entirely different industry and the fatteners buy their birds of the growers. Generally speaking, too, fatteners buy direct from the grievers, andi the colleetons, called higglers in EngSaud, who go about a distriet there beyeig up tae birds that are ,arge en - (mgt.' for the fattening pens, are un - blown here. Instead, they hold a market *nee a week:, in a, convenient large town, and the fatteners go about among the assembled peasant farmers who have chickens to dispose of, and buy the 100 or 200 which they want. At a town Lemuen alerchtem and Meanie there are about 10,U00 ehickens brought in every market day, 'Wednesday. These chickens are about twelve weeks old, are always Coueou de Ma - lines, and fetch about 14 francs, $2.80, the pair when scarce and high, say in adarch, down to 6 or 6 1-2 francs, *1.25 or a1.37, the pair in June and July. The fattening takes about five weeks in winter and three to four weeks in summer, the fatteners expecting to re- alize about 37 1-2 cents, 1 1-2 francs, I for the food and labor and that sum is a good. profit. They sometimes get 3 francs, 60 cents, profit per pair and sometimes lose. For instance, disease, diphtheritic roup, gets into a shed of closely peeked birds, and they must be killed at once and are, of course, sold at a loss. The sheds are any old out- building, such as woodsheds, cow sta- ble, etc., and a shed 122E18 would. be ample for 200 birds. The fattening cages or coops are about 4 feet long, 14 inches wide and 16 in- ches high, there are frequently no two of the same dimensions, and such a coop would. hold ten birds. The coops are upon leg's about 3 feet in length, the droppings falling through the slat bottom of tine coop upon the ground beneath. A "V" shaped trough is sus - vended in front, in which the food is placel, the trough supports being loops of wire which permit of the trough being swung up on to the top of the coop out of the way, the uneaten food having first been removed by the scrape of a pointed. wooden paddle. The fooil is coarse buckwheat meal, crushed buckwheat, mixed with sweet buttermilk int a a mash, few twice a day nilt they will eat. After the shed full of birds goes to market the coops are moved out, clean - en and. lime -washed, whitewashed, the droppings carefully removed, and the shed, ground and all, thoroughly lime- waehect and malls ready for another lot of chisiks. Limewush is used very freely about a fattening establishment. Young decks are bought and fattened. in practically the saute manner, the food being buckwheat meal and sweet buttermilk. That this Belgian specially fattened poultry is very popular is proved by the fact,that sucb enormous quanti- ties of it are sold.; nor is the demand for it wholly Belgian. Considerable is ordered from foreign parts, and one dealer in Brussels, XL Stucken, has an order for 500 birds per day from far- off Berlin. Query -Why don't the thrif- ty German raaae and fatten those birds there at home? That 500 birds a day shipped to that market is an excellent illustration of quality influencing, in- creasing consumption ! ' DIPAIRING FERTILITY. The removal of crops in not the only way in which the fertiaity of the land may be impaired. Washing by heavy rain, the blowing away of fine parti- Ices of the surface soil, and exposure to the sunlight, are among the other ways in which the productive powers of the ground are diminished. These evils may be at least partially prevented. by keeping the ground. covered as much of the time as possible, with some grow- ing crop, In case it is not to be given to some other crop until next spring, it would undoubtedly pay well to sow rye on land on which early potatoes, or other crops which are taken off the land in 2nid-summer or a little later, have been grown, This, not for the purpose of making a crop of grain, or wholly for securing material that will do for green manuring, but largely in order to shade the sod and keep it from bang removeci by wind or rain. KLONDIKE ORAVES. What TraVellor Saw in That Far -Away RegIPIt. Although there are very few people in the country, one is continually sur- prised at first by perceiving a solitary white tent standing on some promin- ent point or cliff which overlooks the river. At first this looks cheerful, and we sent many a hearty hall across the water to such habitations; but our calls were never answered, for these . are not the dwellings of the living but of the dead. Inside eaoh of these tents, which are ordinarily made of white cloth, though sometimes of wov- en matting, is a dead Indian, and near him are laid his rifle, snow -shoes, or- naments and other personal effects. do not think the =stone of leaving these articles at the graves implies any belief that they will be used by the dead men in another world, but sim- ply signifies that he will have no more use for the things which were so dear and necessary to him in life -just as, among ourselves, articles whicb have been used. by some dead friend. axe henceforth laid aside and used no long- er. These dwellings of the dead are always put in prominent positions, com- manding as broad and, fair a view. as can be obtained, At Pally we saw several Indian graves which were surrounded by hewn palings, rudely and. fantastically painted, and some- times by poles.

DISEASE GERM IN SOILS. It has been observed in France that - in localities where animals are interred which have died of cbarbon, the germs of this infectious malady persist in the soils for many years, and that, especi- ally when cereal crops are cultivated upon suck soilke there is great da,nger of ^ontaminating healthy cattle with the same disease. In one case it was observed that many sheep which were pastured in a field in which, two years before, a single animal which had died of charben was buried were infected with the disease and deed. In like man- ner, it is entirely probable that the germs of hog cholera may be preserv- ed in the soli' for many years, to fin - again be briought into an activ- ity which may prove most disastrous for the owners of swine. Every effort should be made by agronomists to avoid infecting the soil! by carcasses which are dead froon any zymotic disease. Cremation is the only safe method Fifty Years Ago. ,1 This is the stamp that the letter bore Which carried the story far and wide, Of certain cure for the loathsome sore That bubbled up from the tainted tide Of the blood below.

Omelets and soufflees are closely re- lated, both by reason( of the similarity of the leagrediente used in their facture and of their ligh.tness. Commeueling at a plain omelet, we nee by degrees to the borderland be- tween the two, and find this region fill- ed by the omelet-sonifflee, which, as its name implies, savors of both dishes. After this' , camel the soufflees proper, with their variety of flavors and foun- dations. On the whole, I think souifflees are easier o -C performance to the amateur cook than the omelet; at least, I have found it so in experience, partly, per- haps, that nervousness steps in and. prevents the withdrawal of the omelet in its pan from) the, fine at the critical moment. One cardinal point is to be observed in the frying of these delicacies -that Ls, they should never be turned, nor do I advise even the rolling of them, which, is recommended in same cook books, for, uinless very skillfully dome, it results in the omelet being most tough, and. anything but digestible. Whether sweet or savory, oinelets are prepared in the same manner, with the excep- tion of the omelet-soufflee. Three eggs will make a small omelet, whieh, however, is generally more them sufficient for one person. The eggs should be beaten lightly together, Ege-a50111.11g, either auger oe salt, as the easa may be, added, also the flavoring, which consists of two( ounces of grated. cheese, a teaspoonful of parsley+ a skin - teed and. sliced tomato, grated ham or tongue, remnants of cooked. fish or veg- etables, for all these, things can be ser- ved up deliciously and economically in- corporated in the omelet. For sweet omelets, essences are generally employ- ed, the jam or fruit to be used being inserted after the omelet is cooked. When the eggs are well beaten, melt one ounce of butter in a clean, dry fry- ing -pan, and. clarify it by taking away all the salt that rises as souton If the 'butter is cheap, more than an ounce will be required, as it will be found to waste so in table clarifying process. The butter ready, pour in the eggs, and stir with a fork for a- second or two, till they begin to set, then leave the mixture alone, and aa soon as the bot - tore is firm, and slightly brown, fold Lim omelet, anct distil it at once. The part that is uppermost in the frying - pan becomes the inside of the omelet when folded, and shouad be quite soft and creamy, and scarcely set. If it seems impossible to cook the top part of the onaelet sufficiently without burn- ing the under side, hold the frying -pan in front of the fire for a few minutes, or just place it inside the oven, with the door open, but it must on no ac- count be left, or dire will be the result. When kidneys or mushrooms are de- sired as a flavoring, they are best stewed gently first, out into neat pieces and then inserted when the omelet is about to be folded. Jain and fruits are pat pato sweet omelets in the same manner. • An omelet-souifflee is invariably a sweet dish, and is either baked in the oven from the commencement, or is sometimes started on the fire in a fry- ing -pan, and finished in the oven. It differs from the omelet in being more set when done, and though light, is more of a spongy lightness than a oreamy one. To make it, the yolks are separated from the whites of the eggs, andbeat- en separately, the latter to a very stiff froth and very often-thugh I have heard it said it is incorreet-half an ounce of flour, or tome other fine pow- der, such as amine de rtz, is added, to give it substance. In this case the flour is added to the yolks of eggs -half an ounce to six yolks -and the latter aro beaten with a wooden spoon, add- ing sugar, flavoring by -degrees, until the yolks are thick and frothy. Then plutt in the whipped whites, allowing at least one, and. sometimes two, extra whites; put tha mixture into a tter- ed tin, and bajse in a hot oven tfften minutes, or p18040 it in a frying -pan, in wink@ is soma hot elasi4nd Mitten end fitaish in the oven. This omelet is never stirred, and therefore it is bet- ter bake51. Cif tbiefire in at all fierce,for fear of burnIng the bottom.-Lucette. HOW TO COOX CODERISH, Creamed. Codfish. -Take three ciapfula of codfish, weals it well and squeeze until perfectly dry.. Pour over it a teacupful of cold water, &tat let soak flee or six Noun, or over eright, if for breakfast. Place it to boil in this water, and. &lila pint of riotmilk with It. letting it jast resell the boiling point. Have ready two aableepkemfuls of butter rubbed into a tablekepoonful of flour, and a. beaten egg, to which you have added a tablespoonful of water, First add the butter and flour, and. when it begins to simmer, remove from the fire and add the beaten egg, stir- ring briskly. Add a little pepper, pour into a deep platter, and serve with a border of matched potatoes beat- en until creamy. Boiled Codfish. -Use a piece cut from the thick part of the °cid. Wash it well, and soak over night in cold wa- ter. Pet 11 in the spider with cold water to cover at least am inch. deep. Bring slowly to the boiling point, and simmer for an hour, or until it is ten- der. Serve with a border of sliced hard-boiled eggs, and with a 'little drawn butter for a sauce.

Same simple breakfast =emus used by a. large number of housekeepers sug- gests that there is an appetizing vari- ety possible even when one has to live economically. It will be noticed in these menus that the cereals are changed frequently so that one does mot know that with the certainty of ris- ing there will be Euro to be oatmeal For one breakfast there is fruit, oat- meal with cream, creamed. 'codfish, baked potatoes, muffins and coffee; the next morning their will wefrult, farina with oreaan, broiled tomatoes with a cream sauce, bashed potatoes browned, oatmeal gems, and coffee. A. third breakfast consists of gravel°, and ereaxa, fruit, broiled steak withFrench fried potatoes, rolls and coffee; the fourth of fruit, rolled ave,na. and cream, omelet and stewed potatoes, cornbread and coffee; a fiftia of fruit, cerealitae and cream, ragout of lamb, potatoe puffs, griddle cakes and coffee,* and a sixth, of cracked wheat and. ereasn, fruit, corned beef hash, graham gems and coffee. It will be noticed that the meat dishes are, with two ex- ceptions, made from left -over material or are of eggs lin same form, thus sev- mg any extra. expense for meat. The breakfasts are rich in nutrition, and also contain something for the most delicate appetite. To bury e. number of packages or pounds of different cereals is not muph more expensive than to buy cam kind only, and much more coaxing to the taste. iIty buying fruit 181 its season the breakfast supply will in many places not prove very costly. When oranges a.nd bananas and grapes and melons are out of tthe question, there is usually that healthful sta,ndby the apple, to be served u,ncooked, stewed, or baked. A. disbl Of tart ap- ples stewed and sprinkled with a little sugar and served warm at breakfast is as good as tropical fruit. CHIILDETOOD'S SLEEP. 'It it. criminal economy to attempt to save a little money by mot giving every oldie an, your family a bed to himself," was the strong way in which a phy- sician put it the other day, addressing a, woman's club on "Some of the Im- portant Littles of Childrera's Health." Another thing emphasized was the laeete of early sleep. "It is so easy to let a nervous child lose sleep in the early evening, when be or she should be hard. at it," said the Speaker. "When. a physician prescribes some important remedy that m-u,st be taken. and which is not pleasant, a rao titer feels that it is time well expended to coax and wheedle and, even bribe the little one to swal- low it. Sp_end just as much thought and effort am getting your child to sleep every nigi ht' f he does not fall off his &tar at tihe evening meal from drowsi- ness, as the normal child should,. Give up concerts, theatres, parties, tany- thing till you have secured for the iaerv- ogle twitching boy or gitrl the benign habit ce sleep. Coax hien to his room, give bine a quick sponge bath, tuck him iia bis single bed with a light wool blanket over kion besides the sheet, and in a lowered light sitby him and talk to Lim till be is quieted. Tell him gentle; soothing stories, nothing ttnex- cite his imagimation and when he is finally asleep, have the room cool, dark and quiet. Don't let them try to sleep in a rooni which has been a sitting room all the evening„ without having it thoroughly refilled with fresh out- door air, which may be accomplished by throwing windows open wide for fif- teen. minutes."

A FERRET'S WINGS. 1 A man who kept a ferret, having to go into the country, left the cage with the ferret in charge of a neigh- bor until he should return. The neighbor incautiously opened the cage door and the ferret escaped, where- upon the owner brought a claim against him for damages. The follow ing was the decision of the learned Comity Magistrate before whom the case was brought.
