PROFITS OF POULTRY.

Few farmers expect to realize anything Of
any amount from their poultry. Hens are left
to take care of themselves, as general thing,
while sheep and other animals, from which
they cannot possibly realize so large per cent
ON the cost, occupy the whole of the breeders
time and attention. Now let US suppose that a
man owns 800 hens, and takes care of them as
he ought. He selects six acres OF respectable
land; makes a good fence around it, and di-
vides it in the middle. He puts up good
warm building, II feet by 40. In one of these
three acre yards he keeps his hens during the
summer ploughing it once in two three
weeks for their benefit. The other yard he
plants in corn; the crop being sufficient to keep
his hens through the winter. They lay, on an
average, two hundred eggs each per annum, or
5000 year, in all, which worth, at low
estimate $500. The hens should be changed
from one yard TO the other every year.-Dot.

crop can be got in after the frost is out of the
ground the better. 1t is futile to attempt any
particular time to SOW oats, as The time must
be determined by the locality. AS general
rule, it may be laid down that the proper time
TO SOW oats is when the frost is out of the
ground, and plowing can well be done.

Ayrnnors OF Mr.. JEFPERsoN.-Mr. Jeffer-
sons great height and slender figure exposed
him to much ridcule from his opponents; his
sobriquet with them was ''Long Tom;' and
when his famous project of Navy was adopt
ed by Congress, and the attempt made to put
it into practice, the cannon, disproportionaoiy
large. with which each of the RECONSTRUCTED
craft was burdened, obtained, in contempt,
the name of a esLong Tom" Nothing could
present more singular contrast than the hg-
ures of Mr. Jefferson and Gen. Knox; the one
very short, and as thick as he was long-the
other, Iank and lean, and unusually tall. They
happened to meet one morning on the steps at
Gen. Washington's lodgings, in Philadelphia.
The two gentlemen approached from opposite
directions, and arriving at the same moment, a
contest in etiquette took place between them.
The General at tho head of the army, and full
of its chiyalrous polteness could not think of
passing in before the co-equal head OF the de-
partment of State: while the civil officer OF
government was equally averse to take prece-
dence of the military; aud they stood for some
moments, each drawing back and waving the
other forward. In the midst Of this somewhat
entertaining scene, came up directly in font,
the notorious Judge Peters, the greatest wit of
his day. Perceiving how matters stood, and
casting sly glance from one to the other, he
pushed boldly between them, exclaiming as
he passed :-'sPardon me, gentlemen, if in my
haste dash through Thick and Thin"
