POULTRY AND EGGS.

A great deal ofexperience has taught
ds that success in the poultry yard de
pends as much upon good general
management as upon any one thing.
When the eggs of any hens Indifferent
~ are kept for the purpose of raising
young chickens, and when little atten-
ton is paid to the particular hens re-
served for laying, it will in general be
found that the profits are small, and
the quality of fowls raised rapidly de-
teriorates.
In addition to the usual plan of selec-
ting only the best formed and quietest
hens for breeding purposes, we have
found it of advantage to pay consider
able attention to the age of the fowls
which weretain. For the production of
eggs for domestic consumption we nev-
er keep hens beyond their second year,
but for raising chickens we have found
it to be poor policy to employ eggs
laid by hens less than two years
old. We have always found that the
chickens from the older hens are more
easily raised, have stronger constitu-
tions, and turn out every way better
than those raised from eggs Of young
er hens. The eggs consequently cost
more, but this extra expense is but a
small item on the number of eggs
usually employed for Matching.
In order to have eggs during win
ter, beside the usual appliances of
meat, lime, sand, bones, &C., we always
make sure of having some very early
chickens. The pullets of these will
commence to lay in Octoberor Novem-
Der, and will lay throughout the win
ter. Next season we draft few of the
very best of these and keep them as
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 hers
not laying because they are too fat.
When considering the ease with which
hens fatten as soon as they cease lay
ing for the season, 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 delightfully."- tender and juicy, and
we would about as soon think of fatten-
ing a cow that gave twenty quarts of
milk day as to think Of fattening a
laying hen.- Country Gentlemen.

MALE BREEDING ANIMALS.

The good of every individual, man,
woman, and child, in the State would
be as directly affected by an improve
ment in our breeding stock as in any
other increase in our productive indus
tries or great internal Improvement.
1t is the business of the State to foster
industries, and to carry out or promote
Improvements. Now, there is not a
State in the Union in which there are
not five, If we may not say ten, poor
bulls, stations, bOars, and rams, to one
tolerably good one. If in a dairy re-
gion only thoroughbred bulls were
used, farmers would soon get in the
way of using only those of good dairy
breed, and we venture to say that the
yield of milk would be increased on an
average quarts per day during the
milking season. With 80 cows this
would make 24,000 quarts, worth, at 8
cts. per quart, $500, which is clear gain
to the farmer, and so much more taxa
BILE property in the community. 1t
becomes a question of no little impor-
tance for Agricultural Societies, Boards
of Agriculture, and the legislators of
the various States to discuss, if by en-
couragement or taxation they may not
be able to effect some such change.
Suppose, for instance, that a State
should tax all bulls twenty dollars a
head, and allow the officers of the
State Board of Agriculture to remit
the tax on all which came up to a GER
tain standard of excellence How long
would it be before an essential change
would be observed in the whole char
acter of our neat stock and dairy pro-
ducts 1t is certainly a question of
great interest, how the State may best
secure the advantage to accrue both to
its treasury and to its citizens by the
general use of well-bred or thorough
bred male animals as sires.-Agricu-
drjSt.

The days come and pass, and life is
soon ended. Is it worth while, then,
to hate or be at enmity with each 9TH
err? Life has little enough to give,
and we should give our fellow pill
grims all the charity and love poor hui
manity is capable of. Time will glide
swiftly by, and the young and joyous
will soon be knocking at the gloomy
portals of the land Of silence. Then
will the mind wander back, and through
the famished years will CLEAN the
white faces Of those we hated. Will
the retrospect soothe our last hours?
No. Then is it not better to love than
to hate?

The DAUGHTER AT HOME.-To be
able to get dinner, to sweep the room,
to make garment, to tend a baby,
would add greatly to the list of young
lady's accomplishments. When can
we behold more lovely sight than
the eldest daughter of a house, stand
ing in the sweet simplicity of her new
womanhood by the side of her toiling
care-Worn mother. to relieve and aid
her? Now she presides at the table,
now directs in the kitchen, now anus
es the fretting babies, now diverts a
half score of little folks in the library.
She can assist her younger brothers in
their studies, read the newspapers to
her weary father, or smooth the aching
brow of her fevered mother. Always
ready with helping hand and cheer
full smile for every emergency. She
is an angel of love, and a blessing to
the home circle. Should she be called
out of it to originate a home of her
own, would she be any less loving or
self-sacriiciDg?

LITTLE IHINGs.-Springs are little
things, but they are sources of large
streams,a helm is little thing, but it
governs the course of a ship a brdle-
bit is little thing, but see its use and
powers; nail and pegs are little things,
but they hold the parts ola large build
ing together; word, look, a smile. a
frOwn, are all little things, but power
ful for good or evil. Think of this
and mind the little things. Pay little
debts if it is promise, redeem it if
it is shilling hand itover. You know
not what important events hang upon
it. Keep your word sacred-keep it
to children they will mark it sooner
than any one else, and the effect will
probably be as lasting as life. Mind
the little things.

y correspondent of an English paper
| describes as follows the method by
which rat stole eggs from a shelf =
''Having concealed myself, soon saw
rat mount the shelf, nearly three
feet from the ground, take an egg be-
tween his claws and break at one end
hole large enough to insert the end
of his jaw; clasping the egg against
his stomach with his two paws, and
steadying it with his jaw in the hole
he had made, he walked backwards to
the edge of the shelf, and then deliber-
ately threw himself down, so that he
fell with his back on the ground, and
the egg nestled at his stomach. He
turned over, and was decamping with
the egg, but L stopped him and recOv-
cred it, unbrOken, save the little hole
at one end in which he had inserted
his jaw"

UPS AND Downs OF FORTUNE
Tive men who were instrumental in
discovering sources of incalculable
wealth to the country, and in enrich
ing thousands ofindividuals, are to-day
in next to INDECENT circumstances, and
one, at least, is in fact appealing to the
nation they were in measure the
means Of enriching for pecuniary re-
lief. Gen Sutter, of California, whose
name is inseparably connected with
the discovery of the gold fields in that
State, and on whose farm the precious
deposits were first discovered, is in
Washington. His sole dependence
consists ofa small pension, granted by
the State of California, and the object
of his visit TO the Atlantic States is to
seek Congressional relief. Mr. Drake,
who first discovered oil in Pennsylva-
mia, it seems, did not ''strike OIL" in
the metaphorical sense, for he is to-day
in state of destitution.

become quite popular on the road.

duties in changing baggage, an ugly
little Scotch terrier got in his way, and
he gave him smart kick which sent
MIN over the track yelping. The own

dudgeon, wanting to known why he
kicked his dog.
"Was that your dog ?" asked Bill in
his usual drawl.

you to kick him ?"

"No he's not either" said the owner.
"Well, | should be if anybody kick.

DODGING a HATTER.-An individu-

The article was got in his absence and
the purchaser left the shop entirely
forgetting (by mistake, of cOurse) to
pay for the aforesaid ''tile." The
tradesman, upon hearing the facts,
started after him, in hot pursuit of the
delinquent. Upon overhauling him,
the following scene occurred:
