FATTEN1NG FowLs.-Bmong the vari-
Gus modes of fattening fowls, which are,
from time to time, presented to the public,
none is more highly commended than the
following, which is the method largely
practiced in England, and it is said.
always with great economy and perfect
success. In this method the custom is tc
put the fowls into coops as usual, but
where they can get no gravel. KeeE
corn in their feed boxes all the time, anc
also give them corn meal dough, wei
cooked, once day. For drink give them
fresh SKINNED milk, with a sprinkllng O
charcoal well pulverized in it.
Fed in this way, it is said they will fat
ten nicely in from ten to twelve days. l.
kept beyond that time, it is customary t.
furnish them with gravel to prevent from
falling away. One extensive English
breeder states that he has tried this meth
cd for years and has never known it t.
fail. In this method, as in all others, it il
of course necessary that the fowls shoult
occupy coops protected from the cold
and kept perfectly clean and dry.

MAKING BUTTER.-Rural New Yorker
says it is desirable that all the cream
make butter at the same time. fit come
unevcnly, or particles of cream get mixed
up with the butter when it is ready to
work. the butter will be injured and will
not keep. After the butter begins to come,
add cold water freely, rinsing down the
sides of the churn. Then when the churn-
ing is finished, take out the butter from
the churn and merely rinse off the butter
milk with cold water, using the ladle, and
not allowing the hands to come in contact
with the butter even though they be ''clean
as clean can be-" Of course it is under
stood that no one with dirty hands should
have anything to do in the manufacture of
butter. We do not want dirty hand or
a dirty foot within ten rods of our "golden
balen of butter Now the rinsing having
been completed, the butter may be sailed
at the rate of an ounce to pound of
butter, and be particular that your salt is
pure. Work the salt in thoroughly and
evenly, and do the working of your butter
at this time. Then set aside in cool
place, and let it stand twentyfour hours,
when it may be taken up, merely working
out the s'loose brine" and it is ready to
pack.

To MAKEl4 TURKEYS UsEFUL.-In
Normandy, where the Crevec9urs are
principally raised, they !. have curious
fashion, of matching eggs. gas the hens
not inclined to set, and are at best only
ordinary mothers, the good women of the
peasantry have fashion of pressing
young hensturkeys into the service. This
they do in the following way: Take a
female turkey of the preceding year that
has never laid, and put her in basket
containing plaster eggs. Cover this basket
with. strong linen cloth. 1t will be from
four to six days before she will overcome
her natural Discrimination TO sit, and be-
come attached Ito !. the eggs, or as the
French have it I" take an affection" for
them. When the prejudice is entirely
overcome, they place the real eggs under,
she easily covering eighteen or twenty OF
them. The covering is removed and the
innocent turkey accomplishes the task
assigned her without further trouble, save
that it is necessary to remove her once
day that she may partake of refreshments
If this is not done, these "setters" some
times starve TO death, rather than volun
tarily leave their charge, so great is this
forced affection. After Matching, thu
little chicks are placed in charge of an
other turkey, and the mother, supplied
with a new lot of eggs, continues her mis-
SION" These young turkeys are thu
made to hatch three or four filters Il
a season.

A CHEAP Ice HoUsE.-A farmer cor
respondent thus tells how he had con-
structed' an ice house -" l set posts in
the ground, so as to make house twelve
feet square, (three posts on each side
then board or plank it up eight feet high
ON the inside. The surface earth is now
dug out six inches deep, and sawdust
filed in one foot deep, making it six inches
above the level of the earth. The ice is
carefully packed, nine feet square and six
feet high, leaving a space of eighteen in
ches between ice and boards, closely
packed with sawdust, and the same thick
ness Of sawdust placed on top. I have an
old, fashioned board roofover this ice house.
The space above the sawdust is left open,
so that the air can circulate through, and
the sun shine in. The result is that we
have used ice daily and have plenty
left. AS to the cost four men with one
team, cut, hauled and packed the ice, and
filled in the sawdust in less than two days
notwithstanding we had to haul the ice
one-half mile"

THE DIVORCE BUSINESS IN MAssA-
CHUsETTs.-The Boston correspondent of
the Chicago journal writes:
Little is heard about persons married,
not mated" coming to Massachusetts,

here in that line. There are on file on
the docket of the Supreme Court nearly
1900 libels for Divorce, and more in pros.

Divorce laws don't encourage divorce
but they are cruel because they give no
relief to forced marriages or know-noth-
ing marriages; marriages from spite or
run away marriages. Up to date there
were just five hundred more marriage
licenses granted by the City Registrar
this year than last year. It'shard telling
how many of these were "made in

LADIES RIDING SIDEwAYs.-The dis
credit of the introduction of riding side
ways by women in England is attributed
to Anna of Bohemia, consort of Richard
III. An old historian enumerating the
fashions of Richard the Seconds reign,
observes: likewise noble ladies then
used high heads, and corselets, and robes
with long trains, and seats on side-sad-
dies on their horses, by the example of
the respectable Queen Anna, daughter OF
the King Of Bavaria, who first introduced
the custom into this kingdom for before
women of every rank rode as men," In
the beautiful illustrative picture of Chau.
GERS Canterbury Pilgrims, Stothard ap.
pears to have committed an anachronism
in placing the most conspicuous female
character of his fine compositions side
ways on her steed. That the lady should
have been depicted riding in the manly
fashion might, it strikes us, have been in
ferred without any historical research OF
the subject, from the poets describing hel
as having on her feet ''a pair of spurres

BREACH OF PROMISE CAsE.-Dr
Byron d. Hershay, late a student in the
Medical College at Ann Arbor, Mich
was recently sued for alleged breach o.
promise to marry Miss Frances Doohttle
of Wolcot, in Wayne county, New
York. Miss Doolittle became acquainted
with DIR. Hershay year or so since
while teaching school in Ontario county
and at his solicitation engaged herself &c
him in marriage, and made preparations
for that event: but in August last he
broke his promise and married another
lady. Defendant did not put in an APP
pearance at court, either in person or by
counsel and the fair Frances was the
only witness in her own behalf. She
testified positively as to the promise of the
recalcitrant Byron to make her Mrs.
Hershay, producing coroboratory evidence
in the shape of forty gushing love letters,
crossed and recrossed and every line re-
plete with affection, aud photograph OF
the apostate swain--who doesn't look the
heart crusher that he is; and her claim to
a pecuniary balm for her wounded heart
was so eloquently and effectively urged
by her counsel, Mr.. Husbands, that the
jury awarded her damages to the SUM OF
$1,000 But if reports are true, the
judgement is not worth much for Byron
is as impecunious as he is unfaithful to his
promise.

LONGEVITY IN MAN AND THE LOWER
ANIMALs.--The duration of life of larva
in closely allied forms, varies from four
years and more to week. Fleas are
said to live as long as nine months. Fish
have great tenacity of life. The carq is
stated to have reached one hundred and
fifty years, A pike which was taken at
Halibrun in Suabia, in l497, weighing
$50 lbs, and measuring l9 feet, had a
ring attached to it, bearing an inscrip-
ton which, if genuine, would warrant US
in believing the age Of the fish to be at
least two hundred and sixty seven years.
The toad lives thirty-six years, the frog
from twelve to sixteen years and various
tortoises must have seen many years if we
may judge from the size to which they at
tain. Parrots and geese reach an age
between one hundred and one hundred
and twenty years, and falcons and ravens
outlive one hundred and fifty years, but
the little wrens live only two or three
years. OF mamales, the whale and the
elephant have the longest term of existence,
living as they do over one hundred, per-
haps to two hundred years. The horse
lives twenty-five, but sometimes reaches
forty years. the sheep and the goat twelve
years, the lion from twenty to fifty years.
Man. there is no reason to doubt, has liv
ed long pas. the Psalmist's limit Of three
score and ten, there being well-authenti
Gated instances of his living over one hun
dred years; but it is only among highly
civilized nations that satisfactory data can
be obtained regarding his longevity. A
minute investigation of the conditions that
conduce to length of life, goes to support
the theory that the longevity of animals is
influenced by their amount of provocative
power, and their ability to sustain wear
and tear.

SPEND WIsELY,-Look most at your
spending. No matter what comes in, if
more goes out you will be poor, The art
is not in making money, but in keeping
it; little expences, like mice in barn,
when they are many make great waste.
Hair by hair, the heads get bald F.; straw
by straw, the latch goes on the old cottage,
and drop by drop, the rain comes into the
chamber. A barrel is soon empty, ifthe tap
leaks but drop minute. When you mean
to save, begin with your youth; there are
many thieves down the red lane. In other
things keep within compass. Never
stretch your legs further than the blanket
will reach, or you will soon be cold. In
clothes, choose suitable and lasting stuff,
and not tawdry fueries. To be warm is
the main thing, never mind the looks
A fool may make money, but it needs a
wise man to spend it. Remember it is
easier to build two chimnies than to keep
one going. If you give all TO back and
board, there is nothing left for the savings
bank. Fare hard and work hard while
you are young and you have chance Of
rest when you are old.

LEAVES from lawn trees, should be
raked up in autumn on the score of neat.
ness, and they may be applied to various
useful purposes. Gardeners who employ
cold frames TO protect tender plants will
find leaves not only good additional
covering inside, but placed around the
frames contribute to the same result.
They are useful for covering all beds Of
half-hardy plants, recently planted bulbs,
&C., and may be kept from blowing away
by a little brush or a few evergreen
boughs. They also form a warm and
comfortable litter for horse-stables, more
so than straw, as the leaves lie in smooth
and even layers, and the thin strata of air
which they enclose, render them efficient
non conductors. The manure, mixed with
this mass of leaves, is not fibrous, like
fresh straw manure, and is excellent for
garden uses.

The NEW CRYSTAL PALACE IN New
YoRK.-The land at present occupied fol
cattle yards between Third and Fourth
avenues, Immediately above the Yerkville
tunnel, has been purchased by the Crystal
Palace Association for the site of their pro.
posed monster exhibition building. The
plot selected and secured for the purpose
comprises % and seven-eight acres Of
land, commanding a magnificent view.
The proposed palace for the exhibition OF
the production of all nations will occupy
the four sides of the ground to the extent
of $50 feet deep, leaving an area or open
space in the centre equal to eleven acres.
The new palace will thus be 5000 feet
long $50 wide, and it is understood that
three of the sections or sides will be eight
stories high. The court, of eleven acres
OF land enclosed by the building, will be
ornamented with fountains, statuary,
flowers, rare shrubs, &c. The building
itself will be of iron and glass. The style
of architecture is not fully settled upon.
The location selected is deemed the very
best that could be obtained on Manhatten
Island, and especially in the facilities for
reaching it. The capital of the Crystal
Palace Association is 100000.

COOPERATIVE DRAINAGE.-In 1859

COOPERATIVE DRAINAGE.-In 1859 g
law was passed by the legislature of New
York, which provides that, where there is
any low, wet land, belonging to several
persons, that needs draining for the sake
of the public health, or the benefit of agri-
culture, any freeholder interested can pc
tition the county judge to have the land
drained, and have the expense assessed on
the property benefited. The county judge
appoints three commissioners, one ofwhom
shall be civil engineer, and none ofwhom
shall be personally interested in the work.
Three commissioners shall examine the
land, and if in their judgment the work is
necessary, they have power to borrow
money and commence operations at once

STABLING CATTLE Many farmers
are in the habit of allowing their cattle tc
sleep in the field or barnyard. This is q
practice which we are very much opposed
to for several reasons.
But some may say, " 1t is unhealthy
for cattle TO be in the stable during thu
hot summer nights" We would say t
such, ventilate your stables as you shoul(
give the pure air free passage through
them-and you will soon come to the con
clusion that it is less unhealthy then allow
ing them to remain out, exposed to thu

Some sorts of plum and pear and even oil
apples, are considerable affected by
intense cold. Grape cuttings are much
better taken off before winter. They
should all be distinctly and carefully
labeled, after being cut and bundled, and
then packed in slightly damp moss, or
sawdust will do, if in small boxes so as
not to heat, Sand keeps the gratis well,
but the grit is apt to interfere with the
sharpness of grating knives.
