Ashamed to Bring Straw to the city.

Ashamed to Bring Straw TO the City.
A few days since we asked good far
mCr Of this county TO bring US load of
straw for bedding horses. Ho replied.
al have plenty Of straw, and would like
10 accommodate you; but the fact is, |
am ashamed to be seen bringing straw 10
the city"
Knowing that our friend was in the
habit of bringing potatoes, grain etc., to
market in person, We did not forti, mo.
ment see the point of his objection; but
we were not left long in doubt. He is
an observing farmer, and has found that
the only way to raise good crops is to
keep up the condition Of his land by ma
king manure, and for this purpose he is
careful to preserve his straw both for fod-
der and litter. He would be ashamed
to let redroot and Canada thistles over.
run his wheat fields, because it would
show that he was a bad farmer, and for
tho same reason he did not like his neigh.
bors to SEQ him selling straw.
We like the idea. It's healthy and
hopeful feeliug-this sense of shame at
farming poorly. We all like the good
opinion of the community in which we
live, and that man is highly favored who
do not approve OF poor barns. broken fen
ees, Scrubby cattle, foul fields, and SLOW
emily cultivation. And not less so when
they can see the folly Of growing too
much grain;koeping too little stock, and
selling the hay and raw,insteud of con,
verting them into manure,
We must get our straw from less en-
lightened ncighborhood .-[Gen, Far.

Judcing the age of Poultry.

Few housekeepers, and fewer cooks,
are as good judges of the age poultry as
they ought to be. We all know when
poultry comes upon the table, whether
tits tender or tough; and there should
be no difficulty of knowing Just as GER
tainly whether chicken, duck. GOOSE,
or turkey is old or young when it is Of
fered for sale. Now, the following is Of.
ferod as q rule by which poultry can be
saisly judged, which il read over few
times, and then laid away for ready re.
ference when needed, no person need
purchase old, tough poultry, unless from
choice.
Ifa hens spur is hard and the scales
on the legs rough, she is old, whether you
SEQ her head or not; but tie head will
corroborate your observation, Ifthe IN
der bill is so stiff that you cannot bend
it down, and tho comb thick and rough
leave her, no matter how fat and plump,
for some one le7s particular, A young
hen has only the ruJimenIs Of spurs: the
scales on the legs smooth, glossy, fresh
oolorei, whatever tho color may be, the
claws tender and short, the nails sharp,
the under bill soft, and the comb thin
and smooth.
An old henturkoy, has rough scales
on the legs, callostios on the soles Of the
feet, and long, strong claws; a young
ono the reverse of all these marks.-
When the feathers ore on and the cid
tu;k2y cock has long tut oy beard,
young one has but a sprouting one;
and when they are off the smooth scales
on the legs decide the point besides the
difference in size of the wOttles Of the
neck aad in the elastic shoot upon the
nose.
An old goose when alive, is known By
he rough legs. the strength Of the wings
particularly at the pinions, the thickness
and strength of the bill, and the fnoness
Of tho feathers, and when plucked by the
logs, the tenderness Of tho skin under
the wings, by the pinious Of the bill, and
Che coarsGness Of the skin.
Ducks are distinguished by the same
means, but there is this difer.nce--ths,
duckling's bill is much longer in pro.
portion to the breadth OF its head than
Che old duck. A young pigeon is discov.
