The plant is commonly known as the loco, and grows in most of the Western States and Territories. It grows from a pointed tap% root that extends several feet into the earth. During the fall, winter and spring months, says the journal alluded to. A thick tuft of compound leaves radiate at the surface of the ground. and frequently cover a circular space eight inches or a foot in diameter. These ‘leaves’ present a downy appearance, and remain comparatively fresh and green during the winter. During the winter and early spring months, when other vegetation is dead and dry the loco plant presents a tempting appearance, quite in contrast to the short, dry It is said pasturage of the plains. to be necessity that drives animals to eat the plant, as if grass is to be had they will not touch the loco weed; but if they are driven by hunger to eat it they then acquire a relish for it, and will spend their tine searching over the range for such food. 4 | The flowering is inJune, the FARM AND GARDEN. it bears sometimes which had blossoms and ripe apples on BUTTER AND BAD ODORS.

Another means of fattening fowls in France is by means of a revolving cage or table divided into compartments. Asthe heads of the birds are all turned outward, they are easy of access by the operator, who may stand in one position, the table turning. The neck of each bird is grasped in turn b the left hand of. the operator, the bea forced open, the nozzle of a flexible tube carefully inserted, and then, by pressing on a pedal, a portion of prepared food, enough to fill the crop, is injected. Thus the machine works till all have re- ceived a portion, or, in other words, have been completely stuffed. ~ This process is repeated three times a day.
