Management Of the Poultry Yard.

A correspondent of the Albany
Cultoator makes the following sdg-
gestions:
A good deal of experience has
taught us that success in the poultry
yards depends as much upon good
general management as upon any
other one thing. Whom the eggs Of
AIRY hers in%diferently are kept tor
The purpose Of raising young chick
ms, and wheH little attention is paid
to the particular hens reserved for
laying, it will in general be found
that the profits are small, and the
quality of fowls raised rapidly de-
t~eriorates.
In addition to the usual plan Of
selecting only the best formed and
quietest hens for breeding purposes,
we have found it of advantage to
pay considerable attention to the. age
OF the fowls which we retain. For
the production of eggs for domestic
eonsumation we never keep hens be-
yond their second year, but for rails
ing chickens we have found it to be
poor policy to employ eggs laid By
hens Of less than two years old.
We have always found that the
chickens from the older hens are
more easily raised, have stronger
constitutions, and turn out every way
better than those raised from eggs
laid by very young p%ullets. At the
same time such old hens do not lay
rs many eggs. The eggs conse-
quentIy cost more, but this extra OK
pense is but a small item on the
number of eggs usually employed for
Matching.
In order to have eggs during winter
besides the usual appliances of meat,
lime, sand, bones, etc, we always
make sure Of having some very early
chickens. The pullets of these will
commence to lay October or NOvem-
Der, and viii lay throughout the win
ter. Next season we draft q few of
the very best of these and keep them
rs breeders, the balance being fattened
and killed off as soon as they have
positively ceased laying. At this
time it is wonderful how rapidly
hens take on fat. We often see
accounts of hens not laying because
they are too fat. When consider
ing the ease with which hens fatten
Us soon as they cease laying for the
seasoo, we have often thought that
the true way to state the case is that
they fattened because they did not
lay. At this age they are delight
fully tender and jaicy, and we would
about as soon think of fatteniDg u
COW that gave twenty quarts Of
milk Il day as to think Of %fattening

Grinding and Cooking Food for
Hogs.

The Prairie Farmer, in reply to q
correspondent who asks whether il
will pay to grind and cook grain
for hogs says, that it will depend
on the individual circumstances Of
the farmer. "lf grain is high, Il
water grist mill is Hear, or the
farmer has a mill Of his own, the
roads are good, farm help is plenty
and fuel cheap there will be a great
saving in grinding and cooking corn
TO be fed TO hogs. But if. on the
other hand, grain is low, the mill
ten miles of, the roads bad, labor
scarce and feed, high, then the ex-
pencos of preparing the corn for the
trough might be considerably greater
than the value Of the corn in the
ear"
As a basis for farmers to make
an estimate in regard to this matter
the result Of sol-e experiments is
given showing the amount Of pork
made from raw, aud from ground
cooked grain. Samuel II. Clay, Of
bourbon county, Ky, found that
q bushel Of dry corn made five
pounds, ten ounces Of live pork;
one bushel OF boiled corn, fourteen
pounds seven ounces Of pork. and
one bushelf Of ground corn boiled
made sixteen pounds, seven ounces
of pork 10 one instance AID in an
other eighteen pounds. To get at
The value Of corn the pork Is esti-
mated at eight cents per pound,
which givesthe dry corn At foriy.6vo
cents the boiled at 81 Is, and the
ground corn al 81 &c worth Of pork
per bushel Of grain led.
Pfot Mapes experiments show
That thirteen pounds Of cooked neal
viii make as mich pork as thirty
poahds Ofrhw corn.

WHO ATE THE TURKEY?

This momentous question, sounding to
guilty ears like thunder, is Mr. Editor
provoked partly by your own advertise
ment in the "1idende' for 10th November
last, partly by an article in your st. Croix
contemporary for 9th December last.
At the above named date you gave the
public notice, that you had received from
st. CroiX "a Black Turkey Cock ga
thorough looking robust old Mormon"
which you concluded "intended pro bono
pubhc0' and upon which you would have
ga commission appointed TO decide upon
preliminaries." And now the est. Croix
AUis" takes occasion from a verse in a
testing song called "Christmas FAREWELL
to say magisterially w have noticed
that on all occasions whether in distress
or in a time of sympathy some folks
10 ST. Thomas allude to the Turkey and
Duck, which were sent to them when
the idea of wan was in question there.
Proceeding in the same strain it winds up
by saying: eff the Turkey and Duck
were not wanting, the ungrateful people
should have sen them back"

The death of William Schmedes Esquire is
recorded with much regret and sympathy.
He died on the night of the 8th instant; and
was buried with due honor On the following
day. The funeral was attended properly. In
deed! it was so; for the most respectable per-
sons followed his last remains to the grave.
The Revd. Branch delivered a fine Grafton in
the house, with the consent of the Reyd. Willie
NOES, the Lutheran minister, to which church the
deceased was attached. The latter Rev. gentle
man offered a fine prayer and used very becom-
ing language on the occasion in the church.
The singing choral one it can be called
was conducted in the most beautiful style.

FRIDAY, 1oTu JANUARY 1868.

THE times are more than distressing, if
rso we can term Them. The political shift
is a pure humbug. Let every one ask
himself what he is. The country-St.
Croix-should not, and ought not, to re-
main as a nursery for those Danes, who can
not do better in their own country. We
the people of st. Croix-living many hun
dreds of miles from Denmark, cannot look
up to that nationality for any sure protec-
ton. Come then to the point, and let US ask
the Natives what they are Treated like
dogs, if so in a measure salaries cut off
short without reason or cause. If the Anne
ricans are not to rave US; then let a pub
lie meeting be held to memorialiSe the
American Government to take along with
them the people Of St. Croix. Bully for
the Americans {!
The Danish Man-ofwar "Dagmar" ar

(What a flow of words, ridiculous per-
haps; or if the reader may term them
right, then let him be. We-or better
the people of st. Croix should be very
grateful to the people of st. Thomas, for
many things and, in like manner the
folks of ST. Thomas should be grateful TO
the people in this Island, for the very
many things, which they receive. To
compare a Jesuit to a Mormon is like
comparing an angel to a deyil-the
watching powers of nature-heaven on
one side and hell on the other. It is un-
worthy of a good race of people to speak
always of a christian act so the story
of the duck and turkey, should be buried
in obIivion-for the motive of the parties,
who sent these things was actuated by
