Fowls are, of all birds, The most
easily to feed. Every alimentary
acknowledges with them, even
when buried in manure; nothing is
lost TO them; they are seen the whole
day long incessantly busted in scratch
ing picking up a living
In well fec fowls, the difference
will be seen not only in the size and
flesh Of the fowls, but in the weight
and goodness Of the eggs, two Of
which go further in domestic uses
than three from hens poorly fed, Oh
half starved.
1t is proper to give fowls III pou''
try ward. once OF twice day, a guam
tity Of grain, generally coin, and
somewhat less ihan they would con-
sumo if they had it in abundance
Fowls, however, are more easily sat-
is6ed than might be supposed, from
the greedy voracity which they ex'
hibit when they are fed from the
hand. It is well known that, as
general rule. large animals consume
more than small ones. There is as
much difference in the quantity oil
food consumed by individual fowls,
as there is 10 animals,
It has been found by careful expo
riments, that the sort of food most
easily digested by fowls are those Of
which they eat the greatest quantity.
They evidently become soonest tired
of. and are least partial to rye.
It has also been found that there
is considerable economy in giving
them wheat, corn and barley well boil
ed. as the grain is thus increased IN
buik at least one-fourth, and the same
bulk seems to satisfy them; but there
is no saving by boiling oats, buck
wheat or rye.

Planting Potatoes.

1t appears to be mOotee question, ,
among farmers, as to the quantity o.
seed it is proper to put in hill, ana
the size of the seed used. Upon the
last point have never expermented'
bat give it as my opinion, that full
grown, sound seed is the only proper
kind to be used. 1t is true that a
good harvest may be obtained from
planting small potatoes, bat it will not
do to make a practice Of choosing
small potatoes year after year, or ere
long small potatoes will be the result
In 1856, neighbor who was speak
ing highly of a kind of potatoe he
had got from Ohio, and in exchange
for some seeds had, he let me have
four about the size of goose-egS-
I had only small garden, SO ! cut
the potatoes SO as to leave but one

one row across my garden BY putting
three pieces in a hill. | planted a.
bout half way across and found |
should have too many for one row,
and then put two pieces in a hill tili
filled that row and another nearly,
when, running nearly out, | put one
piece in a hill until the two rows were
completed. When they came up,
those bills that had one piece in them
looked uaked enough, but ere long
they altered out, and by the time
they blossomed no difference could
be perceived on the top fthe ground,
and the yield was the greatest | ever
had. / believe from six to eight hills
would make a bushel. Last season.
I cut the seed end from some Mer'
GERS, and planted one piece in a bill
and had as great yield as the year
before. From. the result Of these
two experiments, I am satisfied that
less seed than is generally used by
farmers is sufficient. / did not have
so many potatoes, but they were very
large.
