THE OLD FARMERS ELEGY.

On green messy knoll, by the bank OF the brook

The old farmer rests in his long last sleep,
While the waters low, lisping lullaby keep;
lie has plowed his last furrow has reaped his last
No morn shall awake him to labor again. [grain,

Yon tree that with fragrance is filing the air,

There's the well that he dug, with its water SO cold,
With its wet dripping bucket, so mossy and old,
No more from its depths by the patriarch drawn,
For the "pitcher is brokcn''-the old man is gone

The stout-hearted mourned, the afectionate cried !
And the prayers Of the just for his rest did ascend,
For they oil lost a brother, man and friend.

His God he revered-he respected the laws;

A Fowl QUESTION FuNN1LY DECIDED
At the close Of lecture on physiology be-
fore the evening school, a few nights since,
the lecturer remarked that any one WAS at
liberty to ask questions upon the subject
and that he would answer them as far as he
was able. A young lady, with much ap-
parent sincerity, remarked that she had a
question to ask, though she was not certain
that it was proper question; she would,
however venture to ask it. 1t was as follows !:
I" If one hen lays an egg and another sets
on it and matches out chicken, which hen
is the mother Of the chicken"
The lecturer said, 81 will answer you in
Yankee style, by asking you question ::
If a little, pretty. white, geneel, native pull
let sets on an egg of Oriental extraction,
and matches great, homely, long legged,
splinter.shanked, slabsided, awkward. gated
ShanghG, would You, if you were that little
white pullet, own the great homey mon-
ster!"
:" No." said the young lady 81 wouldnt"
"Very WELL" said the lecturer, 4" that set.
ties the question, for it is a principal in physi.
ology that all hens think and act alike in all
essential particulars.

Damp Stables,

When | first came to the farm which |
now hold by purchase, found two stables
built under large trees and near spring of
water, with northern aspect. My hcrses
were soon in poor condition, with long
and rough coats, and most always lax in their
bowels, nor could | get them up by extra
food or lighter work; but my COWS suffered
the most, for they were always sick: their
milk fell of, and their butter was poor, and
of bad color and taste, and four of them
slipped their calves before their time. When
the spring came they left their winter quar-
ters in a worse state than had ever seen them
and two Of them died from scours on going to
pasture. On inquiry, found that the tenant
hadalways been what the neighbors termed
unfortunate in his horses ard cattle, and from
that cause more than any other, he had not
been able to make both ends meet. The truth
fashedupon me in an instant, and in very lit
tie longer time than it has taken me to tell my
story, lcommenced pulling down my stables,
the unhealthiness of which had been, was
convinced, the cause Of all the evil and all
the loss and it was not more than two days
before there was not left one stone upon
another of the whole fabric.
now set to work and erected another on
higher ground, removed from water, and dry
capacious yard and from that day had
neither sickness nor sorrow in my outdoor
household. My horses live on less food,
are always sleek and in good condition, and
my cows are a credit TO the keeper. Our
butter brings two cents pound more in the
market. and for the last year our sales are
more than double from the same number Of
cows and the same pastursge, and no more
premature calves. Instead Of watering my
cattle as heretofore, at the spring under the
trecs-the water cold, with deadly taste,
and bad COLOR sunk well and put in a
pump; and at it long trough in the yard
for the summer, and another under shelter
for the winter, my cattle slake their thirst
WITHOUT setting up their coats, as they used
to do after drinking at the hole under the
tree. Even when the water is warm, they
were accustomed to shake all over as if they
were in fit of ague Of drinking their fill of
this water: and to this, with the bad aspect
of the stables, attribute all the sickness and
MISERY which have experienced among my
cattle and horses Boston Cultivator.

Domestic Guano,

Mr.. Bryant of the Evening Post, says
that the hen.roost is the place where most
farmers should go for their guano. If OBJ
tanned there, it will invariably prove Of good
quality There need be no fear, for those
who get their guano from this source, that it
will turn out to be OF a spurious importation
or of an inferior kind. Then there are no
heavy bills to pay for it. The bills Of the
hens every farmer can provide for, but the
bills of the guano dealers not every one is
prepared to meet And we doubt whether
even intelligent farmers who have not tried
it, would estimate at more than one.hundrcdlh
part of its actual amount, the quantity OF rX-
ceIlent manure which can be made in this
way, in the course of a year.
The hen roost-duck roost-geese roost
and turkey roost-should be supplied with
several loads of peat, swamp muck, or loan,
spread evenly over the surface of the floor,
and on this there should be scattered thin
layer Of sand or gravel. Rainy days, when
the work can be done as well as not-and
as often as practcable-this should be all
shoveled over, and the manure thus mixed
with the other ingrcnients. The compost
soon becomes strong, when it can be remoy.
ed, and fresh supply of the most suitable
material convenient to be obtained thrown in.
The house is thus kept sweet and clean,
and healthy, for the fowls and if any farmer
will adopt this plan, and practise it faithfully
for five years, and keep an accurate account
not only Of the crops raised directly from the
compost made with the poultry manure, but
from the manure made by feeding those crops
out in their turn, he will be amazed at the
result; first, in the amount Of cash which he
will have realized, and secondly, in the effect,
in the way of permanent Improvement OF his
farm.

FALSE suAME.-Some people appear to
be ashamed to have it known that they have
to work for living" But they are not
ashamed of the foolish pride that originates
that shame, yet their pride is to them a
greater disgrace than the greatest degree of
virtuous poverty and honest labor. No
greater evil could befal most young men and
women than to be relieved Of the necessity
for labor, as the records of criminal courts,
prisons and poor houses show. The chan
ces are much greater, that young men who
are from necessity compelled to toll for
living will grow up and become respected
members of society, than those who grow
up in idleness, with a fortune at their dispo.
