to Law. and have determined to kill them Off
They have commenced reducing the number,
which was perhaps forty or fifty, and when
they got down to half dozen, were surprised
to find every one of the hens laying, and the
supplies of eggs for the family better than the
whole number furnished As to profit, we
doubt whether, if all their food be bonght, the
eggs and chickens produced by any breed and
sold at the regular market prices, for the table,
will pay the expenses of keeping, but it by no
means follows from this, that hens are not
source of profit on a farm. They eat much OF
what would otherwise be entirely lost and vast
ed; and small patch of buckwheat, sown at
trihing cost, and left on the ground where
they can stroll over it and feed at their plea
sure will keep them as fat as butter Inc
main point is, the great value OF the manure OF
poultry. The hcn-rooSt is the place Where
most farmers should 60 for their guano. Ii
obtained 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 spurious or inferior.
We doubt whether even intelligent farmers
would estimate at more than one-hundredth
part of its amount the quantity of excellent
manure. which can be made in this way in the
course of a year. The hen-roost, duck-roost
and turkey-roost should be supplied with
several loads of peat, swamp muck, or both,
spread evenly over the surface of the floor, and
on this there should be scattered a thin layer
of sand or gravel. On rainy days, when the
work can be done as well as nOt-and as often
as practicablc-this should be all shoveled
over, and the manure thus mixed with the
other ingredients. The compost soon becomes
strong, when it can be removed, and fresh
supply of suitable material thrown in. The
house is kept sweet, clean and healthy for the
fowls; and if any farmer will adopt this plan,
and practice it faithfully for five years, and
keep an accurate account of the crops raised
directly from the compost made with the poultry
manure, and from the manure made by feeding
those crops out in their turn, he will be amazed
at the amount of each which he will have real
lied, and at the permanent Improvement of his
farm.-Loadonderry Standard.

Practical Hints about Poultry.

Whether the large sized varieties of fowls
which are all the rage now amongst fancy
breeders and dealers, are really preferable to
the old-faShioned barl-yard fowls, is a subject
of which there are two opinions among those
who have tried both To say nothing of the
enormous prices which they occasionally COM
mand, they weigh heavily in the market scales,
or fill large platter on the dinner table. But
on the other hand, they are great gormandzers
themselves, and are generally considered diff
cult to raise. BOOSTERS should be changed as
often as once in two years, if not annually;
and pains should be taken, in replacing them,
to procure strong, healthy and perfect birds;
the hen will lay better, and hatch more chick
ems. Only small number of hens should be
kept in one house, or together. We have
known repeated instances in which keepers of
poultry have become disgasted at their failure

Canada Thistle.

The common thistle, as is well known, has
an annual root and is propagated entirely from
seed. Hence, it is easily got rid of by any
means tending to prevent its going TO seed
The Canada Thistle is also an annual 50 far as
the plant is concerned but its root is perennial
and iointed, each joint, like that of the elder,
producing distinct plant. Hence when tie
ground containing Canada Thistle is ploughcd
and narrowed, the roots are more widely dis
pcrsed and the plants greatly multiplied
This pest is extensively spread in the Northern
part of the State of New York, from whence
il has been introduced into Pennsylvania, and
several other of the Middle States. Some
times the seeds have been mixed with those OF
timothy aud other grasses, and sometimes they
have been transported, attached to the wool OF
shccp driven from the North Whenever the
weeds gets hold of the soil, its creeping roots
so tenacious of lfe make it one of the worst
pests known to the farmer.
4 great many devices have been rcsorted to
for the eradication and destruction of the Canada
Thistle. Some aim at the entire removal OF
the root hv eXtirpating machines contrlved TO
cut off and harrow up the roots. Others rely
upon moving down the thlstles when they are
in full bloom, as a most certain metnod-
After cutting down, some common SAT- applleu
to tbe stems or crowns of the roots, makes the
destruction much more sure. 1t is ali admitted
fact. that the life of trees and plants when
these are not in the torpid state in which they
are enabled to exist in winter depends upon
function performed by their leaves or twigs de-
nriyed of the use of which for a given time,
during the season of their growth, trees and
plants inevitably die. Low and frequent
cutting down in summer about the blooming
period will doubtless destroy plants however
tenacious of life they may be, since the roots
are as much indebted for life to their leaves OF
twigS, as the leaves are to the roots. Neither
can s,lbsst long, without the aid of the other
important members of the system. Much in
terestng and practical information relative to
the various expedientS resortcd to in Europe
for the eradication of thistle, couch-gr, s. and
other weeds with creeping and tenacious roots,
will be found mentioned in the Farmer 5
Encyclopedia under the heads of Thistes &e
