The MANAGEMENT or Fowls. The
rearing of poultry is source of much
more profit than farmers generally
suppose.
They require plenty of good food,
pure water, fresh air, shelter from cold
and storm, and cleanliness in their
houses Hens should not be fed too
highly before they begin to lay, or
while they are laying. The cock
should be well fed, and in perfect
health. All kinds Of grain is good
food also cabbage turnips, carrots,
parsneps, &c. A venety is advantage
GUS to their health. Barley may be
occasionally given as purgative
Damaged grains are not good When
fowls ore confined, they should have
gravel supplied them.
There is no food as good as sound
corn in winter. If you wish them to
lay in winter, keep them warm, and
feed fresh bret every day with corn
Salt food will stop them laying, and in
jure them. Red progressed twice each
week is good to promote laying. Ten
hens are sufficient for one good cock
if you wish strong, healthy chicks.
All young chickens, turkeys, and
ducks, should be kept under cover dur
ing rainy seasons.
A small piece of asafptida should be
placed in the pan in which their water
is given them to drink 1t will pre-
vent dropping.
Chickens kept from the dunghill
when young will seldom have the
gapes. Should any of them have the
gapes or snuffles, mix asafetida, rhu =
barb, and pepper, in equal proportions
of each, in fresh butter. Give each
chicken half of the bowl full of small
teaspoon. A small crumb of dough
and soap is said to be very good.

i COMMISSION would inform the patriotic,
the phianthropic and Christian men and women
Of the country, of ia work and its wants.
1t cares for the body and the soul, AZ did Christ
when on earth. BY It's delegates, who go with
out pay and from love, hospital stores, home
comforts and reading matter are given directly
to those who need them, together with such
personal ministrations and religious instruction
as each case may rcquirc-and the Gospel is
preached at every opportunity.
In the hospitals, on the battlc-holds, and in
the camps Of the strong and brave, the delegates
are welcomed by surgeons, officers and men, and
their labors have, in the judgment of those
woll-infurnod, saved thousands of lives, and
been blessed to the conversion of thousands Of
souls, besides raising the morals of the army
and strengthening the links that bind the soldier
to his home.
1t has the confidence of the Government and
all the facilities from it that military exigencies
will allow.
It's affairs are managed by business men who
give their services Railroads aud kilograms
are free to it; the Bible Society gives its pnblics
tions; but religious reading matter must be pur-
chased, and the demand Is far beyond the ability
Of the Commission to meet it.
