HENS IN PLACE OF DoGs.-There is
hardly a family that does not throw away
enough table scraps to keep at least half
dozen hens, and many that keep nui-
sance in the shape of "a dog, that does no
good, but costs more than a dozen good
hens, who say they cannot afford to keep
hens. One dog in neighborhood is gen
orally greater trouble to the neigbors
than flock of hens would be, for if hens
are well fed at home they will rarely go
away. But who ever saw dog that was
not always running across the newly
made garden and sticking his nose into
everything? Kill off the ours and give
the food to the hens, and you will find
pleasure as well as profit in so doing. We
wish there was a tax of one hundred dol
lars on every dog kept in the country.
Those that are of value as watch dogs
could be retained, while the host OF snarl-
ing, dirty ours would give place to some
useful and less troublesome pet.-Poultry
Standard.

PRESERVED MEATs.-The Food Com
mttee of the English Society of Arts, re-
port that in the preservation Of meats in
tin, there has been considerable improve
ment during the past year, both in the
quality of the meat, its appearance, and
the retention of nutritive qualities. The
Australian trade in timed meats, both
beef and mutton, is largely increas-
ing. This is the only process that has
yet proved satisfactory in importing
meats from distance with fully retained
meat flavor, without deterioration, by ad-
dition of chemical agents. mo process
oe the latter kind which as yet has been
submitted to your committee, can be said
to be thoroughly success full. Either the
texture of the meat has been broken down
or hardened, and the flavor destroyed
or altered, and in many cases such
a distinct saline or mineral taste added as
to preclude the adoption of such specimens
as articles of general consumption" No
successful plan has been matured for bring
ing live animals by sea for long distances.

What Fowls shall L Keep!

A correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker says:
What fowls shall keep? is question
often asked by people in the country as
well as towns and suburbs. That de-
ponds entirely upon the facilities, and
whether they are wanted for their flesh,
eggs or merely for beauty. How often
have / heard of people being annoyed by
their neighbours fowls (; and those neigh
bors live far enough apart, had they kept
the right kinds of fowls (instead of
the "rag-tag' nongrels) would have
saved their neigbbors the contemplation of
fowl (foul) murders and themselves gloomy
forebodings on the longevity Of an limo
cent pet dog.
Some fowls will endure continent ent
with good feeding, in a very small place
Brahmas, Cochins, Leghorns Spanish,
Houdans and Bantams are among
the NUMBER especially is that the
case with Cochins and Brahmas. They
being large heavy fowls, and when well
fed, show but little inclination to roam far
away they are of easy, quiet tempera-
ment and withstand our severe cold win,
tiers remarkably well prove good winter
layers sit and rear their young well, and
prove most excellent mothers. Ionce saw
a lot of White Cochins, kept in an attic
in New York, that were quite healthy
they were we'll fed, with variety of food
kept clean and laid remarkably well.
The Leghorns are more sprlghtly, vel
ac@limated and very good layers. Their
eggs are larger than most fowls Of their
weight they require higher fences thar
the Cochlns or Brahmas to keep them II
a yard. This remark also applies to the
spanish, except that they are tender il
winter and do not suit farmers inI oul
Northern climate; when pure bred
are non .sitters, consequently Other
fowls must hatch their eggs. Houdans
are said to be hardy. | have never tes'
ted them on a farm, but have often seer
them looking we'll in yards; they are 8
fine favored fowl of good weight.
Fowls that require wide range tC
keep in health, are Polands, Hamburgs
Dorkings, Game, Creve Occurs and La
Fleche the four former are FESTIVE un
der confinement; when they have room
enough will travel a good way, lndustrl'
ously looking all the time for dainty
morsel on farm. will in summer, fine
much of choice food. The Dorking and
Game hatch their broods, the former being
very careful mothers, mothering all the
chicks that win come under them, anc
being large, can shelter any little outcas
rambler. The Creve C9urs and Ii
Fleche are scarcely acclimated yet, on'
would think, to see so few multiplied il
this country.
For flesh the Dorking is one of thu
best, having a long, heavy breast, anc
delicate favored meat. For eggs thu
Hamburgs are unrivalled in quantity, but
rather small, and are also non-sltters. Fo
beauty the bantams afford great variety
The new varieties of Game Bantam'
are very beautiful, as we'll as the Golt
and Silver Seabrights. For beauty ant
eggs the Handbags stand pre-eminent

BREAKING CoLTs.-It requires patience
and frmness to break in and tame the
colt. Kindness has been found by expe-
rience to be more effectual than brute
force to secure the confidence and subdue
the untutored colt. 1t is the natural con-
sequence of the legitimate control of the
human mind over brute instincts-the
triumph of intellect over the animal pas
sions. In combat of physical force, the
horse is stronger than man and would be
sure to triumph but in contest of mind
he is EARLY subdued. 1t is this force Of
mind that gives man control over the
horse and the whole animal kingdom.
Mind is omnipotent over the brute
Animal instincts recognize their Deepen
dence. Sympathy is not dumb. 1t
speaks in the language of mutual conf
dence. We have only to refer to the
modern art of training colts to verify the
magic of mind over brute passions. For
instance, the trainer often blindfolds the
wild colt with heavy blankets, leaves him
firmly fastened to post, tormented in
darkness, till he sweats profusely from
terror stricken excitement. The breaker
at the appointed time quietly relieves him,
and upon the gentle law of kindness
brings him out of darkness into light.
The terror stricken colt instantly recog-
nzes him as his deliverer from persecu-
ton, and follows him with the obedience
and attachment of the dog. The trainer
now becomes master of the situation, and
can command him at all times. - Vermont
Farmer.

How Much WORK A HORSE CAN Do.
AT meeting of the British Association
at Dublin, Charles Bianconi of Caspel
read paper relative to his extensive car
establishment, after which a'gentleman sta
ted that at Pickford's, the great English
carriers, they could not work a horse
more than ten miles day, and wished to
hear Mr.. Banconi's opinion on the subject.
MIR. Bianconi stated that he found by en-
perience he could better work horse
eight miles day for six days in the week
than six miles day for seven days.
By not working on Sunday, he effected a
saving of twelve per cent. Mr. Bianconi's
opinion on this point is of the highest i'm
portance, for he has over nine hundred
horses working sixty seven conveyences,
which daily travel 4244 miles. 1t is also
the result of forty-three years experience.

How TO CURE KICKING HORSE
A correspondent of the Vermont Farmer
writes; "In answer to an inquiry, chow
to cure kicking mare let me communi-
cate method which has proved effective
in bad case. With strong harness,
hitch to a stout whiffletree, which has a
rope attached to it long enough to allow a
man to hold the rope with safety. Let
one man hold the mare by the head, while
another, holding the rope slack but firmly,
moves the trace or whifltree against the
mares legs, tempting her to kick. Allow
the whiffltree to fly high when she kicks,
but bring it back every time. Let her
play with this arrangement until she is
thoroughly tired of it and will not kick at
it. Without Harvesting her in any other
way, try the same every day, until she
will allow the wbiffletree and traces, or
anything, to brush and strike against her
legs without showing any fright or dislike,
even when fresh"

to violent hatred of the Germans or to
ardent sympathies for the new order of
things; the Germanization of this coun-
try will, however, take place no less quick
ly than that of Lower Alsace. 1t may
even be said of some communes that they
are the most decidedly German of all the
Rhenish territory. At Metz there is far
less aversion to our institutions than the
Partisan press would make out; this town
has even produced fewer difficulties for
the administration than Muhausen for
instance. The emigration in the we'll to-
do classes is considerable. The CONNER

to enter into continuous relations with the
imperial government. At the last sitting
