A TREATlsE ON BREEDING POULTRY

most universal in france, and common

Henry Nv. was, that the poorest of his
subjects might on Sunday, have a fowl
in the pot. Eggs, too, in France, are so
generally consumed, that there are said
to be six hundred ways of cooking them.
In Egypt Fowls are SO abundant that
fourtcen Of thefattest may be purchased
on the Nile fora dollar. The same sum
will purchase 1000 eggs, or pigeons in.

BILE branch of rlral economy TO hatch
chickens in ovens, by artificial heat
A chicken Of three months is the most
digestible of all animal food. The
breeds Of fowls in this country, seem to
DE various and much blended. The Po-
land fowl, when found unmixed, is one Of
the, best. .sHens, it is said, are in their
prime at three years; and it is not advan-
tageous to keep them after five. Those
with yellow legfare slender in constitu-
ton and inferior in taste. Polygamy
seems by geneIalconsent, to be conced-
ed to the dome,tic poultry, in the pro
portion, to be m ost advantageous, Of one
male to from four to six females.
Smoothieggs should be chosen for set
ting, and marked with pen, to distin-
guish them from any new ones that may
be laid. The new ones should be re-
moved All watery food, soaked bread,
or. potatoes, is improper food for young
chickens. Eggs boiled hard, or curd,
chopped small, is good early food. Tbs
Egyptianss hatch by Artificial heat, of
about 90 degress.- A fresh egg is better
than an old one, but the freshness may
be retained, for several months or more
if the pores are rendered impervious to
the air by some unctuous application
viz: anointed with muttonsuet, and plac-
ed on end, wedged together with bran,
or they may be preserved by dipping in
oil and packed in salt. 1t is said that
eggs may be kept several years sound, I'M
a vessel of water saturated with lime
and little salt. "A patent has been OBJ
tanned in England for the following meth
cd, which is said TO be efficient for years.
'tPut into tub one bushel of quick lime,
thirty-two ounces of salt, eight ounces
of cream of tartar, and mix the same
with the quantity Of water that will swim
an egg with its top just above the Ii
quid." The book abounds in instruc-
tons for breeding, rearing, and fatten-
ing all the common domestic fowls, rab-
bits, and swine, and for the dairy. 1t
is valuable addition to rural economy.
