THROUGH A WINDOW.

lie here at rest in my chamber,
And look through window again,
With eyes that are changed since the old time,
And the sting of an exquisite pain
'Tis not much that see for picture,
Through bows which are green with the
spring,
An old barn with its roof gray and mossy,
And above it bird on the wing.
Or, lifting my head a thought higher,
Some hills and village know,
And over it all the blue heaven,
With a white cloud floating below
In the old days the roof seemed prison,
My mind and the sky were free.
My thoughts with the birds went flying,
And my hopes were heaven to me
Now come from the limitless distance
Where followed my youth IS wild will,
Where they press the wine of delusion
That you drink and are thirsty still:
And l know Why the bird with the Spring
time
To the guarded old tree comes back
He has tried the South and the Summer,
He has felt what the sweet things lack.
So I come with sad contentment,
With eyes that are changed see
The roof means peace, not prison,
And heaven smiles down on me.

Don't Tell It.

Your neighbor's name,
Or your friends fair fame,
And what befell it,
In deed or word,
You may have heard,
Yet pray don't tell it !
IF kept within,
This rumored sin.
May prove a bubble /;
Told again
Like the thriving grain,
Twill soon grow double.
Instead of peace,
If strife increase,
Then try and quell 1t;
Think what you will,
OF good or i'll,
But pray don't tell it.

How TO Fatten Chickens.

1t is hopeless to attempt to fatten chick
ems while they are at liberty. They must
be put in proper coop ; and this, like
most other poultry appurtenances, need
not be expensive. To fatten u fowls,
coop ) feet long, IS inches high, and is
inches wide, made entirely of bars. No
part solid-neither top, sides or bottom.
Discretion must be used according to the
size of the chickens put up. They do not
want room indeed, the closer they are
the better-prOvided they can all stand up
ut the same time. Care must be taken to
put up such as have been accustomed to
be together, or they will fight. If one is
quarrelsome, it is better to remove it at
once; as, like other bad examples, it soon
finds imitators. \ diseased chicken
should not be put up, The food should be
ground oats; and may either be put upon
u trough or on flat board running along
the front of the coop. 1t may be mixed
with water or milk-the latter the better.
1t should be well soaked, forming pulp
rs loose as can be, provided it does not run
oil the board. They must be well fed
three or four times a day-the first time as
soon after daybreak as possible or con-
Yenient, and then at intivals of four hours.
Each meal should be as much and no
more than they can eat up clean. When
they have done feeding, the board should
be wiped, and some gravel may he spread.
1t causes them to feed and thrive. After
a fortnight of this treatment you will have
good fat fowls. If however, there are but
five or six to be fatted, they must not have
as much room as though there were
twelve. Nothing is easier than to allow
them the proper space as it is only neces-
sary to have two or three pieces of wood
10 pass between the bars and form parti
ton. This may serve when fowls are up
to different degrees of fairness. This re-
quires attention, or fowls will not keep fat
II l, co., =, ,,f
ticiently fatted it must be killed other
wise it will still not get fat, but will lose
flesh. If towels are intended for the
market, of course they are or may be fat
ted all at once but if for home consump-
ton, it is better to put them up at such in
tervals as will suit the time when they
will be required for the table. When the
time arrives for killing, whether they are
meant for market or otherwise, they should
be tasted for twelve or fifteen hours. This
enables them to be kept for some time
after being killed, even in hot weather.

Buttcr, Cheese and MIX.

IT requires about IL quarts of good milk
to make one pound of butter, and 10 quarts
TO make one pound of cheese. 1t is often
question with farmers, how they can best
dispose of their dairy products. If we con-
slider that the pork produced from the but
termilk or whey pays for the extra trouble
involved in the care of butter and cheese,
the account will stand about as follows,
when butter is selling at 40 cents pound,
cheese at IL cents, and milk at cents per
quart: One pound of butter=16 quarts of
milk=4O cents, or y cents per quart of
milk. One pound of cheese=lO quarts of
milk=ll cents, or / Ill cents per quart
quart for the milk consumed the pound
of cheese would have to be sold at so
cents, or one pound of butter at 90 cents.
In the neighborhood of large cities milk
will command even better prices than
the above, as it is frequently worth fve
cents per quart; this would bring the
value of the pound of butter up to eighty
cents, and the cheese to fifty cents. A
farmer can easily judge from these figures
which is the most profitable business for
him, the prices being in all cases those
which can be obtained on the farm. LII
the articles are to be delivered, the ratios
may be somewhat changed. For person
living long distance from market, or
where the means of communication are
slow and uncertain, cheese will most likely
be the only available means for reaching a
market. For those living near toa market,
with good facilities for reaching it, butter
is the best paying product. In order to
make milk pay, the market must not be
over two or three hours distance from the
farm. Many railroads, however, equalize
the rates Of freight on milk, charging all
their customers the same price, whether
they live ten or thirty miles from the city.

Rules for the Care or Sheep.

We copy the following suggestions about
sheep from circular issued by i. &. ID.
McCay, the General Agent of the Ameri-
can Emigrant Company. The company
have already over 10000 sheep scattered
among the farmers who purchased land of
them, in fiocks ranging in size from fifty
to two hundred head.
Keep sheep dry under foot with litter.
This is even more necessary than to stand
or lie in mud or roofing them.
Take up lamb bucks early in The sum-
mer and keep them up until December LIST
following, when they may be turned out
Drop or take out the lowest bars as the
sheep enter or leave yard, thus saving
broken limbs.
Count every day. ...
Begin granting with the greatest care
and use the smallest quantity at first.
If an eve losses her lamb, milk her dali
ly for few days and mix little alum
her salt.
Let no hogs eat with the sheep by any
means, in the spring.
Give the lambs little mill feed in time
of weaving.
Never brighten sheep, if possible to avoid
it.
Sow rye for weak ones in cold weather
if you can.
those strong, in the fall, and give them
special care.
If any sheep is hurt, catch itat once and
wash the wound, and If it Is fly time, APP
ply with something healing. If limb is
broken, bind il with splinters tightly,
loosening as the limb swells.
Keep number of good bells on the
sheep,
Do not let sheep spoil wool with chaff or
burrs.
Cut tag locks early in the spring.
For SCOUTS, give pulverized alum in
wheat bran; prevent by taking great care
in changing dry for green feed.
If one is lame examine the foot clean
out between the hoof if unsound and ap-
ply tobacco with blue vitrol boiled in
little water.

Hints to Farmers-Leaf Manure.

Of the year, for if the farmer sells 500
worth Of produce, and has injured his soil

stead OF 500. Therefore a farmer is really
making money by keeping up the strength
of his soil Money will purchase bone

are not generally the cheapest fer
