The Portable Swing Water Barrow. Prevention is Better Than Cure g THE few cases of Typhoid m ABhburton Borough and Subnrbß afford no 1 g ground for a " scare," but it is only by using reasonable precautions n that the dread scourge can be kept within bounds. In view of tbe subject p being referred to m the public journals, it may be of service to reprint an extract oi from an issue of the " Nineteenth Centary " of last year, m which special reference is made to Diphtheria, but which applies with equal force to Typhoid. 2. The writer remarks, that the latest epidemics m Russia swept away nearly j all the children m some villages ; and m Prussia, no less than one-sixth to j one-fourth part of all children dying m the age of from one to five jears sue- j cumbed to Diphtheria, and the same proportion prevailed m Western Europe C as well. Keen inter* st is being taken m the experiments of the French Doctors, Roux and Tersen ; but Diphtheria, like Anthrax; Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria, and other kindred complaints is due to an infection of the body by special bacteria, caused by the effluvia rieiDg from drains, back yards ana promises generally, into and upon which dairy and kitchen slops have been thrown. Without aa infection by 1 bacteria or tho poisons which they secrete, there is no diphtheria. The Portable Wash Barrow is just the one s thing indispensable m the direction of perfect sanitary arrangements. By its k 8 use, a two-fold benefit is derived. lhe fever ard diphtheria breeding-agencies i 8 are removed, an<l what is otherwise a source of terror becomes : »n s absolute gain, by conveying the wat-h to pig trough or to tbe garden. The Portable Barrows can be put to various kinds of use, and they are so admirably con- • structed that, with them, a child can do work which otherwise requires the it strength of mature years. The cost is comparatively email. Possession oi one becomes an absolute means of sweetness, comfort and profit. — (o) Improved Copper Boilers. 1 have just received direct from the manufacturers a fresh supply o Portable Copper Boilers, with patent smoke stack joint, and Semi-double G sheeted frame — galvanised.

FARMERS COLUMN. * OATS FOR POULTRY. Oats form a very suitable grain for poultry kept for stock purposes, and it may be given to them much more freely than any other. This is owing to the rather high percentage of waste matter m its husks— woody fibre. Oats, when of average good quality, contain more than 2 1 per cent of indigestible sub- stances, and the more inferior the grain the greater is the proportion of waste tissue m it. Of course, the feeding value of grain is proportionately decreased. Here it may be mentioned that the ruling prices of inferior oats are above their real proportionate va'ue, especially as a food for poultry. Therefore, it is nob advisable to purchase those of a low grade- Oats of a fairly good quality contain about 8 par cent of flesh-forming elements, which is not quite a sufficiency to promote egg production, bat with the addition of a reasonable allowance of animal matter (meat, etc.) and vegetable, they constitute an ex- cellent food. If a flock of flowls were freely fed on separate days with oals and wheat they would consume about twice the quantity of digestible matter m the day when they were fed with the wheat as they would be able to consume m the day when they were fed with the oats. This is owing to the latter occupying much more space, and con- taining more than five times as much waste matter. Yet, when fed with the oats they have more than a sufficiency of amyloids — that is, starchy matter. This shows the great liability of overfeeding with starch when using grain which contains a greater proportion of it than there is m cats. Except for the purpose of mixing with cooked vegetables to form soft food, it i* not advisable to grind up any grain for j fowls, and even for this purpose ground oats aie not nearly bo suitable as middlings or barley meal, which are comparatively vary much cheaper, and much more readily obtainable, Ground corn very soon loses its sweetness and other valuable properties, and becomes more or less damaged. Thie important fact is strong argument m favor of allowing those creatures with natural means of grinding their own corn to do so. Besides, poultry, when healthy, are able to grind up and digest quite as much of the nutrient properties of corn as they require. When it is ground for and freely given to stook birds, they are exceedingly liable to become ruined by the excessive quantity of starchy matter m it. — ' Poultry.' f|AlT»SIt<& Sons JEncttlypti Extract There are Imitations ot Bucalyptlc Extract fn the market now, liroducln ot simple distillation forming rude resinous oils.

NERVOUS DEBILITY Resulting from Impoverished Blood, Cured by the Use of AVER'S Sarsaparilla. Bffltd th« following remarkable testimony ol Mrs. M. A. Helleur, of Sussex St., North Adelaide, So.
