Domestic Poultry---Hen House.

- y >>~
A poultry house need not be expensive
and yet be as good for the farmer as one
with fancy fxings that no one knows the
use of. Of whatever shape, it is better
to have it too small than too large, in
winter especially. For if too large the
hens get together in one corner in order
to keep themselves warm. While, if of
the right size, they can promenade as
much as they please and have the prop
er amount of exercise.
If you have plenty of room in your
stable or barn, a room partitioned off
there will do. Having built the partition,
all the cracks should be well battened up
TO make it warm. 1t should have good
sized windows fronting toward the south,
if possible, and it should be well white
washed, both for neatness and 10 make it
lighter. Then divide it into two apart
ments one to be used for the roosting
room, the other for their occupation dur
ing the day. 1t would be better if they
had no access to the roosts in the day.
The day room should be furnished with
gravel, chalk, old mortar and such other
materials, TO assist in making the shells
to their eggs. Also sand and ashes,
which are good for dust bath, nut into
shallow boxes so that the room NAV no,
be made unlidy. The room should have
a good plank floor which should be often
swept.
II you wish them to lay in winter they
must be furnished with animal food, and
vegetables, every few days, beside their
regular supply OF grain, which, in nv
opinion, had better be kept in hoppers
constantly before them.
Nests can be made in a great MANY
different ways. Some use barrels, which
answer well small boxes, however, are
Just as good and taken up less ROOM
They should be filled with good clean
straw with one nest egg, DIETER artficial;)
as soon as laid the eggs should be taken
from the nest, or at least as often as once
day. :, Wv" 90 o''ee

essary 10 furnish them either with meat
OF materials to make the shells of their
eggs Tor they will get them from the
earth. ' '"e
In the spring yard should be fenced
off for them in which they will thrive e he,'

as often as once or twice week, and the
floor sprinkled with lime. ,...+

attended to we will ensure an abundance

The Alpine Horn.

Amongst the lofty mountains and ele-
waited mountain valleys of Switzerland.
the Alpine horn has another use besides
hat Of sounding the iar.farmed RAM des
Vaches, or Cow Song, and this is one of
a very solemn and impressive nature
When the sun has set in the valley, and
only the SUBMITS Of the mountains CLEAN
with golden light, the herdsman, who
dwels upon the highest habitable spot,
takes his horn and pronounces audibly
and loudly through speaking trumpet,
: Praise the Lord God = As soon as the
sound is heard By the neighborlng herds
men, they issue from their huts, take their
horns, and repeat the same words
This frequently lasts quarter of an
hour, and the name of the Creator re-
sounds from all the mountains and rocky
cliffs around Silence Mt length settles
over the scene. All the herdsmen kneel
and pray with uncovered heads. In the
meanwhile, it has become quite dark
Good night" again resounds from al!
the mountains, the horns of the herdsmen,
and the rocky cliffs. The mountaineers
then retire 10 their dwellings and 10 rest.

The waves run fast,
Cold blows the blast,
The clouds scud past
Increasingly;
And the shepherd guides
His weary focks
Der banks, and rocks, -\.
Up mountain sides.
With speed;
For indeed
The rain begins to fall, r.f
And now sad thoughts come clustering a
Around me, ..........

Our fair young Marion,
Oh, where is shes
On the gray old wall
Sits the dismal owl;
II utters its call aaa fnfr.H -- crt
Increasingly.
And the night looks dreary,
And my soul is weary,
With strivings to forget the past,
The dark, the dark and mournful past,
The bitter past, .s
And, at last,
1t resolves itself into one enquiry,
One ceaseless, ever haunting enquiry,
Of Marion
! Our fair young Marion,
Oh, where is she?
Darker grows the night,
Vanished is all light;
And now faded from my sight,
Zen the owl.
But, still hear its song
Borne drearily along,
Even above the storm,
Increasingly.
And the solemn drip of the rain,
Repeats the sound again,
Ceaseless, as my enquiry,
My never-endins enquiry,
OF Marion
Our bright-eyed Marion,
Oh, where is shes
Close, close by the wave,
Was the fresh green grave,
To which we gave
Our Marion.
Where the ivy creepeth,
And the moonbeam sleepeth,
And the violet weepeih
Increasingly.
But noio cometh tho sad enquiry,
The ceaseless, ever-haunting enquiry,
of Marion
Our bright-eyed Marion,
Oh, where is she,
Hai from afar
A pale, pale star,
Peeps from bar
OF narrow clouds.
1t Gains my tears,
1t quells my fears,
For to heavens spheres
INCREASINGLY
1t lifts my eyes
To the far off skies,

For though dark and dreadful the clouds

Behind them the stars are bright and clear
