the amount of each crop raised during the

called upon in 1850 doubtless remember the
difficulty experienced in making up an accu-
ra report of the various crops. As these
reports will be called for in June, it will be
necessary to give in the crops gathered this
year, and the suggestion we would now make
is, that cutivators write down, while fresh

the roots, or crowns of rhubarb, so that they
may push into growth at the first opening Of
Spring. Make the ground rich and mellow,
and set out roots four feet apart. Add a
mulch of coarse manure late in the Fall, to

How to Fatten Chickens.

1t is hopeless to attempt to fatten them
while they are at liberty. They must be put
in proper coop; and this, like most other
poultry appurtenances, need not be expensive.
To fatten twelve fowls, coop may be three
feet long, and eighteen inches deep, eighteen
inches high. No part of it solid, neither en-
tirely of bars. Discretion must be used &C.
cording to the sizes of the chickens put up.
They do not want room; indeed the closer
they are the better-provided they can all
stand up at the same time. Care must be
taken to put up such as have been accustom.
ed to be together, or they will fight. If one
is quarrelsome it is better to remove it at
once; as, like other bad examples, it soon
finds imitators. A diseased chicken should
not be put up.
The food should be ground oats, and may
either be put in trough or on fAt board
running along in front Of the coop. 1t may
be mixed with water or milk the latter is
better. 1t should be we'll slaked, forming
pulp as loose as can be, provided it does not
run off the board. They must be..well fed
three or four times per day-the first time
as soon after daylight as may be possible or
convenient, and then at intervals of four
hours. Each meal should be as much and
no more than they can eat up clean. When
they have done feeding, the board should be
wiped and some gravel may be spread. 1t
causes them to feed and thrive.
After fortnight of this treatment you
will have good fat fowls. If, however, but
four or six are to be fatted, they must not
have as much room as though there were
twelve. Nothing is easier than to allot them
the proper space; as it is only necessary to
have two or three pieces of wood to pass
between the bars and form partition. This
may also serve when fowls are put up in dif-
fcrent degrees of fairness. This requires at
tenton or fowls will not keep fat and healthy.
As soon as the fowl is sufficiently fatted il
must be killed; otherwise it will still get fat
but it will lose flesh. If fowls arc intended
for market, of course they are, or may be. all
fatted at once but if for home consumption
it is best to put them up at such intervals al
will suit the time when they will DO required
for the table. When the time arrives fol-
killing, whether they are Intended for marke
or otherwise, they should be tasted, withou
food or water, for twelve or fifteen hours. Th
enables them to be kept for some time afte
being killed even in hot weather .-L,ndo,

Fall Flowing.

We ask the attention of the reader long
enough to consider two or three reasons for
blowing stubble land in the fall.
l. 1t makes the same work easier in the
spring
@ 1t covers the grass and weeds that have
sprung up since the last hoeing, or on that
land brought a grain crop, and places them
in condition to get rotted before planting or
sowing the land again.
8. By blowing in the fall, large quantity
of fresh soil is brought to the surface to be
fertilized, in some degree by atmospheric in
Auences through the winter. Then, when it
is again plowed in the spring, still another
portion is brought up to be in turn made
richer in the same manner. It may seem to
some that little or no benefit will be derived
from this process, bnt we feel quite confident
that examination into the subject will satisfy
any inquirer that it will be of especial al.
vantage.
4. The finer our soils are made, the more
fertile they will be, and the more easily they
may be wrought-so that If these objects
alone were sought, it would be advisable to
pillow in the fall.
s. The shortness of the time allowed us
to get in spring crops, makes it expedient to
do everything we can to expedite the spring
work.

LIFE AND HISTORY OF FLORA TEMpLE-
The Waterville IN. W Times assures its
readers that the follwing is an authentic re-
cord of Flora Temples early life -" Flora
Temple, the Queen of the turf was born in
the town Of Sanger6eld N. Y. She was
foalded in lS45, and, when quite young, sold
to Nathan Tracy, Of Hamilton, Madison
county, for the sum Of $l3, who kept her
less than three years. Flora then became
the property Of VIM. Congden of Smyrna,
Chenango, county, who subsequently sold her
to Messrs. Richardson & kellogg of Eaton
Madison county. This firm kept livery
and Flora became quite popular with the
patrons of their stable. Mr.. Richardson
finally took the mare to Washington Hollow

To SAVE TREES FROM M1cE.-As we often
hear complaints about the depredations Of
mice upon fruit trees, and the enquiry how to
prevent their deprodations, thought I would
give my remedy, to wit: Some six years
since, about the first month, when the snow
vas some twelve to eighteen inches deep, I
found the mice had commenced gnawing sew
eral young trees in my orchard, and on one
side of my small nursery, along side Of the
fence; some fifty rows IL rods from the
fence, were more than half destroyed. What
to do 1 did not know, but finally concluded
to try ashes-by so doing save them. l took
dry ashes and strewed around those trees on
top of the snow, and not mark of a mouse
track did see after. l have used ashes
about my trees ever since, by applying them
about the roots and bodies of my trees, from
January to April, and have not had one tree
injured since. l consider this perfect pre-
tentative, and at the same time great ben.
eft to the tree. E. SALISBURY.
