Plan of an Agricultural Club.

A few congenial farmers met together
and selected one of their number Secreta.
ry. The admission Of other members was
by the unanimous vote of the club, until
the maximum of thirteen was reached.
We met at each others houses in turn
the first seventh day in each month, at
three o'clock P. NJ, in alphabetical order,
and when two names commence with the
same letter, the eldest has precedence.
The first business in order is the elec-
tion of foreman for the afternoon, which
is not put to vote, but merely name
mentioned and seconded. This is follow
ed by the reading of the minutes Of the
last meeting held here Gf in operation
more than one year,. We then sally out
to make an inspection of the system of
culture the fences, stock, farming imple-
ments, garden, buildings, and indeed every
department Of the farm, are examined and
criticised to the fullest extent, finding all
the fault we car with whatever is out of
order, which is noted down by the Secre-
tary.
Returning to the house, the next bust
ness in order is the reading of the minutes
of our last meeting. Tie foreman then
asks each member in turn whether he has
any question to propose to the club. When
question is asked, each member is re-
quired to give his opinion, and the Secre-
tary notes down the decision Of the meet
ing.
All conversation, except on agricultural
subjects, is out OF order, unless We are sum-
moned to plain supper, during which
perfect freedom is allowed.
A register of crops, with the number of
acres upon which they are grown, is kept
by each member, and handed in yearly to
the Secretary, who prepares table, By
which at glance the average increase can
be at all times ascertained.
No rules have been found necessary for
our government, save that of kindness to
each other, and Difference to conflicting
opinions.
We have been thus associated more than
twelve years, with the interest unabated.
Each member, and may add each men,
ber's wife, is fully convinced Of the great
usefulness and good social feeling engen-
dered BY its establishment.

limits fixed BY nature, and deterioration is
the result.
Such conclusion was indeed to have
been expected, since it is principle
which it may be considered as well estab-
lisbed in natural history, that different
species will not produce fertile offspring.
The proof of this, says DR.. Kneeland, may
be found, "in any part Of the animal scale
from barnyard monster to mulatto !;
they cannot hold their own; they must
and do return to one or the other of the
primitive stocks, or must die out, unless
crossed by the pure originating blood"
DR.. Kneeland further illustrates this
tendency to sterility by the crossing Of
distinct species, by reference to the pre-
sent condition of the mulattoes. He says:
"The mulatto is often triumpLantly ap-
pealed 10 as a proof that hybrid races are
prolific without end. Every physician
who has seen much practice among the
mulattoes knows that, in the FIRST place,
they are far less prolific than the blacks
or whites the statistics Of New York
State and City confirm this fact Of daily
observation and in the second place,
when they are prolific, the progeny is
frail, diseased, short lived, rarely arriving
at robust manhood or maturity. PDysi-
clans need not be told of the comparative
ly enormous amount of scrofulous and de-
Perforated constitutions found among these
hybrids."
To return to the subjet of our domestic
fowls. That great deterioration has ia
ken place wherever the foreign breeds
have been extensively introduced, We
think every intelligent observer will sus-
tain US in asserting. The question then
is, what is the remedy? In the space of
time nature will again replace matters in
their former order,-the bybrids without
a constant foreign importation will die
out in time, and the native stock in its
purity again be in the ascendant. But
we can do something to hasten matters.
AS this is tha season when every farmer
naturally expects to thin out bis poultry
yard in some degree, we would advise that
every representative of the East Indian
fowls be extirpated, root and branch, so
far as possible, and return be then made
to Our native stock, yellow and blue-legged
hens, whose good qualities have been abun-
dantly proved and never found wanting
That these nay be still further improved
by judiciOus breeding among themselves
hardly admits Of doubt, and opens a
fair and profitable field for the amateur

THE FARM:
The Garden...Ihe Orchard.
Deterioration of our Domestic Fowls

BY INTRODUCING FOREIGN SPECIES
The small amount of poultry exhibited
at nearly all the agricultural exhibitions
during the past season, satisfactorily proves
that the strange mania which of late years
has manifested itself for unnatural crosses
in our domestic fowls, and which has been
so appropriately designated as the "Hen
Fever" has at last run out. Its effects,
however, We fear, are destined to remain
for some time in a deterioration of our ma
tive stock, and the introduction of hyb-
rid, or cross breed, inferior in every re-
spect to their progenitors.
This subject has recently been brought
before the Boston Society of Natural His
tory by DR.. Kneeland, well-known as a
naturalist and physiologist. He states
that it is at the present time general
source of complaint all over the Eastern
States, (and the same is doubtless true
elsewhere, on the part Of the farmers, who
in times past had plenty Of eggs and to
spare from a small number of common
fowls, that since the generel introduction
of the foreign breeds, they have found
themselves with their "improved stock"
unable to procure any thing like their
usual supply of eggs from the same num-
Der of birds; and that they have not only
raised the birds at the expense of several
dollars pound, but have been obliged to
buy eggs for family use. This has be-
come such source Of annoyance and Pc
cuniary loss, that it deserves to be consid-
cred. 1t is natural consequence of for
cling birds from different countries and Of
different origins to propagate hybrid of
spring, for this very reason prone to de-
generation, which is increased by the i'm
possibility of crossing the hybrids by the
supposed pure originals. The admixture
of different original species, and breeding
in and in" have been carried beyond the

it is the best application OF domestic
character and origin that can be procured,
acting with a rapidity and permanencs Of
effect that is highly favorable to both crop
and soil 1t is thought, by many, to Be
superior to night soil, for most crops, and
in this opinion they are probably correct.
When used as an ingredient in compost,
it effects a very salutary influence. Muck,
mixed with it, is capaei6ed for supporting
almost any plant or vegetable, and for i'm
parting new powers to the soil which it
changes constitutionally, as we'll as stimu-
lates to healthy action. BY filing the
hog pen with fermentable and decomposa-
bic materials in the spring, and allowing
mix it with their liquid and solid voidings,
very important addition may be made to
the manurial resources of the farm, and 1t
comparatively small outlay. The work Of
filing in may be performed at seasons
when there is little else to do, and from
sources that will afford ample material
without at all lesseniug the resources Of
the estate. So2s, weeds, rotten wood,
refuse hay, straw and haulm, are all valu-
able for this purpose, and can be devoted
to no more profitable use. If, as these
articles are put, small quantity Of grain
be sowed over and mixed with the mass,
the animals will work it over with their
snouts, in their efforts to obtain the grain;
it will thus be commuted, and ali the in
gradients Incorporated sa 60 TO fs..r
perfectly homogeneous and soluble manure.
Gypsum, wood askes, lime and clay are
valuable constituents in such compost.
TIE latter is especially important where
the manure is to be used on sandy soils,
or those composed principally of sand.

By this agreement, Gov. Shannon repu-
dates all connection with the rufhans, and
in his capacity as the chief Executive Off
Ger of the territory authorizes the Free
State men to keep up their military organ
ization for the preservation of public order
and the protection Of their individual
rights. He also promises to exert his in
fuence to procure the Free State men full
indemnity for whatever losses they have
sustained at the hands Of the ruflians.
By this pact, the Free State men gain
every thing, and surrender nothing. OF
course the ruffians are vexed with them
selves, and angry with the Governor but
the inclemency of season will prevent any
further demonstrations from them for the
present, however much they may be rein
forced with men or grog.
Itremains to be seen what Congress will
do about the matter between this and

Winter, glorious Winter reigns,

Winter, glorious Winter reigns,
In robes Of spotleSs white,
And earth is bound with ICY chains
OF brllliancy and light;
The snow, the fair and lovely snow,
Around us now 1t lies,
A mantle pure of light below,
Just fallen from the skies.
A welcome, then, to winters reign
Upon the earth below,
For life and Joy are in lis train
Across the silvery snow.
Resplendent is the gli,tering sheen
The beauteous day displays
As DER the wide and dazzling scene
Shine forth the suns bright rays,
The costly jewels, rich and rare,
Afar in eastern mine,
Can never with the gems compare
That sparkling round us shine.
A welcome, then, &c.
And when at night the jeweled sky
Vies with the glitterlng frost,
And envious Cynthia weeps on high
The glory she has lost,
II thrills the heart TO ride along
The fields of boundless white,
While merry bells peal forth their song
To cheer us on our fight!
A welcome, then, &c.
