There never was known such scarcity for prov
ender for cattle, in this section of country-hay,
straw and every thing else of the kind can't be had
for love or money. We see the like dearth is pre-
vaing in almost every portion of the State. The
famous hay making regions Of Western Carolina are
exhaus.ed is scarce, and cannot be had at any
price, Fears are entertained that there is not enough
in the country to last until harvest The prospects
far for wheat, are most fattering In trip late
ly through Stanly and Cabarrus we were greeted on
every plantation with large fields Of wheat waving
in most luxuriant green. We were told that the
crop never better Corn in this section is COM
ing up very slowly; many farmers have re.paLted
their entire crop, and the prospects of "good
stand" is very gloomy. Salisbury Banner.

TOBACCO PRosPEcrs-The prospects of a tobacco

are assuming gloomy aspect in that section. The

cold BEDS and grow too slowly. Notwithstanding,
every body-except friend John Gunn ESQ.,,

make tremendous crop of tobacco, Of course the
corn crop will be neglected to great extent, and
after ALL the frosts of next fall may nip the weed in

FOUNTAIN OF BLOOD IN CAvERN.-E. G. Squiers
notes on Central America, describe wonderful eff.
fusion of fluid resembling blood near the town of
Vitud, in the State of Honduras. It appears that
there is continually oozing and dropping from the
roof Of cavern there, red ivqd, which upon fall
ing, coagulates to precisely resemble blood
Like blood it corrupts, insects deposit their lav in
it. and dogs and buzzards resort to the to eat
il. Attempts have several times been made to OBJ
tain Of this liquid for the purpose of analysis,
but in all without success, in consequence of
its rapid decomposition whereby the bottles con-
tanning it were broken.
The small cavern or grot.o during the day is Wis.,
ted'by buzzars and hawks, and at night by multi.
inde of vampire bats for the purpose of feeding
the unnatural blood 1t is situated on the border of
a rivuet, which it keeps Redeemed with small flow
of the liquid, which has the color, taste and smell of
blood. In approaching the grotto, a disagreeable
odor is Observed and when is reached there may'
be some pools of the apparent blood in state of CO.
agulation.
The peculiarities of this liquid considered due
to the rapid generation in this groto of some very
prolific species of infnsoria The California State
journal remarking the above, observes that the
estero Of the town Of Monterey contains species of
blood-red infusoria, the lave of water insects,)

Poultry.

Nearly every family can, with very lit
tie trouble, have eggs in plenty during the
whole year; and of all the animals domes-
ticated for the use of man, the common
dunghill fowl is capable Of yielding the
greatest profit to the owner.
The Hen-House should be warm i'll
winter, well ventilated in summer, white
washed and kept clean. Roosts Of sassa-
frass poles are less infested with lice.
Have no ground floor. Supply Stacked
lime, fine gravel or ashes, or burnt oys-
ter shells, sc.
Feeding. They will sing over Indian
corn with more animation than any other
grain The hen must have secr,sy and
mystery about her nest, watch her and she
will forsake her nest and stop laying.
IThs is not always the case. We have
known hens to come into the kitchen, when
permitted, and lay upon the mats, or in
the wood-box. Ed. Valley Farmer,
They eat less, il allowed TO help them
selves to what they want, than if fed in
the usual way, for, in the latter case, each
tries 10 get as much as it can, and thus
burdens itself; but finding in the former
case, that they have an abundance they
eat but little, and the generality in the
morning early, and in the evening before
going to roost.
A farmer may keep an hundred fowls
in his barn, may suffer them to trample
upon and destroy his mows of wheat and
other g~rain,and still have fewer eggs than
the cottager who keeps a single dozen,
who provides secret nests, chalk eggs,
pounded brick, plenty of Indian corn, a
few oats, lime water and gravel, for them;
and who takes are that his hens are
not disturbed about there nests. Three
chalk eggs in a nest are better than a sin
gle nest egg, and large eggs please them.
A single dozen of fowls, properly atten-
ded, will furnish a family with more than
1000 eggs a year, and 100 full-grown
chickens for fall and winter stores. The
expense of feeding the dozen fowls, will
not amount TO Is bu heels of corn. They
may be kept in cities as well as in the
country, and will do as we'll shut up the
year round as to run at large, with proper
care.
A Fact.-Eggs the nearest to round
ness, prod ice females, and those pointed
at one end, always produce males.
For Fattening.-Boiled Indian corn,
wheat and barley, are better than oats,
rye or buckwheat. One-third is gained
by boiling.

4. KILLING RATs.-This is at any time a
d~isagreeable business. If you are sue
%cessful, the dead rats decay in their
hiding places, and difruse a horrid and al
most pestilential stencil; and the presence
of active poisons on the premises. is not
without danger to other animals, and to
children. But if the due p~recaution is
used IN these respects, or if you are will
ing to run these risks, the spring is a
good time to destroy rats; they are hungry
now, for food is scarce; besides, in killing
them now, you prevent there increase for
the year. Any one of the following poi
sons may be used:
Take of hogs lard and of carbonate,
baryta enough of each; mix well togather.
Smear the mixture on the inside of a pot
or kettle, and place it inverted, so high
from the floor that the rats can gat under,
but so that cats and dogs cannot get at it.
The rats like the lard. The baryta is
without odor, and is a powerful poison.
Another poison: Take of orpiment or
kings yellow, n ounce, and OF lard, four
ounces. Mix well, and use as above, or
spread it on bread.
Another still: Get some good strychnia;
mix a little of it with Indian meal, or rub
a little on small bits of cheese, and place
it where the rats can find it..
The use Of one, or all Of these poisons
for a time, will thin out the rats.-TOhio
Farmer.
