DISEASES OF POULTRY.
We are approaching aseason oftho
year when broods of young chickens
will be seen about every farm house
and cottage in the country. Every
one loves to look upon SO interesting

good health, which is essential TO their
being reared to maturity. ltis an old
saying ",hat an ounce Of prevention
is better than pound Of cure" We
will therefore speak Of prevention
first. .,.. ..d. W
The general rule applicable to all
animated nature-that cleanliness is
the first requisite to the insurance Of
good health-will apply to the inhabi-
tants of the chicken coop with full
force. Place the chicken coops on

side, every two or three weeks. The
henery or shed, in which the poultry
roosts or feeds, should be treated in
the same manner.
Experience has shown that poultry
reared or kept in new locations arc
not subject to disease of any kind,
whilst those reared or kept in old
poultry houses, infested with vermin,
are subject to diseases which often
prove fatal.
A disease called the gapes will
sometimes destroy whole broods of
chickens. 1t may be known by the
following symptoms: difficulty Of brea.

feathers on the head appear ,ufilel

Mary had cut her eye teeth, or. in

had never mixed in society to any

2.5uo Acres Timber Land
= OF. SALE.


SEVERAL VALUABLE TRACTS OF
- TIMBER LAND, comprising about $500
acres part of which Is situated ON Tobyhanna
Creek, and part on Muddy Creek, within three
miles of Lehgh River, in Penn forest township,
Carbon County, one of the great Coal Counties
of Pennsylvania, can be had at a bargain, If APP
pcation be made soon.
These lands thicky covered with the best
timber of that region. While il is believed that
$4,000 feet of lumber to the acre, can he cut from
large portion of the land, the balance will aver
age not much less than this figure. The kinds of
timber found on the land are Iemlock, Spruce or
White Cedar, White Oak, White Pine and
Chesnut-but principally made up of White
Pine and llemlock.
The Toby hanna and Muddy Creeks are large
and rapid streams, yielding a vast amount of
water power and are capable Of driving large
number of saw mills. They empty into the lehgh,
which stream, with the Lehigh Canal uiloids an
outlet to the most desirable lumber markets.
There is, too, under contemplation, a railway
leading to the cities of New York aud Philadelphia
which runs within one mile and three quarters Of
the land. Through these avenues lumber can be
delivered in either of lhc cities named, for about
81 per thousand fect--thus enabling persons en-
gagged in the trade to derive greater profits than
attend investments generally.
In addition to the timber, convertible into eve
ry shape of lumber, there is much that will an
swcr for spnrs of vcsscls--a sort of timber that
| ship-buildcrs have been obliged to purchase in
Maine, or at other distant points.
Unlike most of the lands on the Lchgh there
has, as yet, been no rulliug of the timber on this
property. 1t stands undsturhcd 10y the wood
mans axe. 1t is, therefore, the more valuable.
The lumber trade Of the lehigh has been carried
on TO such extent for years past thata scarcity
of good timber is beginning TO he felt Every
season necessarily increases this difficulty. The
consequence must he an enhancement of the
value of timber lands. Those un-cullcd tracts
with the advantage of avenues TO n.arket, such
as the lands offered for sale, possess cannot fail
to he the sources Of supply hereafter.
But the land is not alone valuable for the tim
bcr it contains. 1t is of good quality for farming
nearly every acre being susceptible of a high
state Of cultivation.
Capitalists desiring to make investments, weult
DO wclllo turn their attention TO these lands. Fo
