have few suggestions TO make on the
subject of the feeding and housing Of poul-
try. aadi
The first inquiry, however. is as to ths
object of feeding. Some feed with refer
ence to making their hens lay eggs; others
to fatten for market. The great object 10
to select the best food, for apprehend that,
in the long run, will be found the cheap
est. .Af
In the summer season, when chickens
run at large, and especially if they have
access to the grain in the barn, they t.
quire no feed to make them lay. And tho
fact that they lay best when they have ac-
cess to stubble and grain fields, 10 the very
best evidence that this is the food required.
am satisfied that wheat is the very best
feed for chickens-I mean, to make them
lay; and am also satisfied that il is the
very best feed to prevent the ''gapes'' Of
chickens. Nothing contributes moro TO-
wards bringing on the disease than tho
moist pastry of one kind and another that
is fed to young chickens. u 3s8
For the purpose of fattening corn is.
without doubt, the best food, and it should
not be fed to them in whole grains. 1t
should be bruised and soaked, or ground
into meal and mixed into paste with water.
And writer in the New England Culti-
vator SAYS that meal paste should always
be fed to chickens on the ground. A dry
sheltered spot should be selected. Apt
Lastly, fowls should be- comfortably
housed during the severity Of winter, and
have good roosting places prepared. I
If more attention was paid to feeding
and housing our poultry during the winter,
we should have not only much larger and
fatter fowls, bu, we would be paid also in
much greater abundance ofeggs. F.B.,c.

BARK BOUND TREES.

Some over, wise people have an idea that
when tree gets mossy and bark bound
the latter but another term for the want of
growth and weakness, consequent upon
neglected cultivation-iti is only necessary
to slit the bark up and down the stem with
a jack.knife, and it will at once spread out
and grow. This is sheer nonsense. Dig
about and cultivate the roots, and the bark
will take care of itself, with a scraping off
the moss, and washing of the stem with
ley or soapsuds, or chamber slops, which
is quite as good. The increased flow, of
the sap, induced by a liberal feeding Of
the roots, will do its own bursting, Of tho,
"hide. bound" bark, which is simply it's
enfeebled condition as consequence of
its poverty ofroot.
No one thinks Of turning out bony.
half-starved calf in the spring, into the
clover. field, with the skin on its sides all
split through with knife in order to add
to its growth. And this las. proposition is
quite as sensible and philosophical a. the
other. Nature takes care Of itselfin these
particulars. Sap in plenty is what the
blood is to animals. Its vigorous flow
reaches every part Of its composition, and
gives to each its proper play and function.
We can show frequent instances Of
decrepid shrivelled branch, by the throw
ing open and manurng Of the roots, and
a through pruning Of the whole top. in
creasing from an inch to two inches di-
ameter in a single season, and without
assistance, as it grew, bursting and throw
ing off Its old contracted bark as freely a.

Such nostrums are only the invention Of
the head TO excuse the laziness Of tho

she knew not. Then her husband opened
the door, and in ahe entry they were met
by the smiling countenance Of old Captain
Walker, who ushered them into the parlor,
where a warm fire glowed in the CRATE,
and where everything looked comfortable.
Mrs. Wilkins turned her gaze upon her
husband Surely, in that greeting between
the poor man and the rich there was none
OF that constra;nt which would have been
expected. They met rather as friends and
neighbors. What could it mean?
Hark! the clock strikes twelve! The
old year has gone, and new, bright
winged cycle is about to commence its
flight over the earth.
Thomas Wilkins took the hand OF his
wife within his own, and then drawing from
his bosom paper, he placed it in her
hand, remarking as he did so:--
"Liz=ie, this is your husbands present
for the new year."
The wife took the paper and opened it..
She realized its contents at a glance; but
she could not read it word for word, Tor
the streaming tears Of wild frantic Joy
wsuld not let her. With quick, nervous
movement, she placed the priceless pledge
next her bosom; and then, with low mur.
mur, like the gentle whispering of some
heaven bound angel, she fell into her hus-
bands arms.
"Look up. look up, my own dear wife"
uttered the redeemed man, "look up and
smile upon your husband; and you. too,
my dear children, gather about your father
for husband and father henceforth |
will ever be. Look up, my wife. There!
Now, Lizzie, feel proud with me, for we
stand within our own house! Yes, this
cottage is once more our own; and nothing
but the hand Of death shall again take us
hence. Or good, kind friend here will
explain it all. O, Lizzie, if there is happi-
ness ON earth, it shall henceforth be ours
Let the past be forgotten, and with this,
the dawning of new year, let us com.
mence to live in the future"
Gently the husband and wife sank up
on their knees, clasped in each others's
arms; and clinging joyfully to them, knelt
their conscious, happy children. A pray
er from the husbands lips wended its way
to the throne Of grace; and, with tho tears
trickling down his aged face, old Captain
Walker responded heartfelt "Amen!"
X 4
Five years have passed since that happy
moment. Thomas wilkins has cleared
his pretty cottage from all encumbrance,
and happier or more respected family
do not exist. And Lizzie-that gentle,
coniding wife--as she takes that simple
paper from the drawer, and gazes again
and again upon the magic pledge it bears.
weeps tears Of joy anew. Were all the
wealth Of the Indies poured out in one
glittering, binding pile at her feet, and all
the honors of the world added thereto. she
would not, for the whole countless sum,
give in exchange one single word from
that pledge which constituted her HUs.

aoqIt was bitter cold night on the 24th ol

E frozen earth, and the bright moon, riding
half way up the bright heavens, lent crys-

road, short distance from quiet, repos-

lover OF true comfort and joy would seek
