Poultry Raising on Large Scale.

We are in receipt of a number of
letters asking advice on this subject.
Poultry is cheap this year for some
probably because corn is
not dear, grasshoppers more abun
dant; the season was dry, and the
weather holds warm. 1t is therefore
easier to buy 1000 choice pullets
than usual; but if anybody
tries it he.will find task to do that
if We may judge by the experience
of a neighbor.
We have no doubt it is profitable
to keep fowls by the thousand; and
the experiment in almost every case,
where care is constantly exercised,
will be successful for the winter and
part of the spring, but when we have
moist, cool, spring weather, damp
within and without, colds, Group,
and death will surely come to an
extent to reduce the profits essen
TALLY, unless experience and vigil
ance, with the closest attention to
the wants of the fowls and their san
itary surroundings, ward them of.
We advise no one to undertake win.
tering 1000 hens, but are glad if
discreet people try the experiment.
We are learning more about chick
en- ailments, preventiyes, and cures;
and the time is coming when tiocks
of 5000 will be no rarity.-Ameri-
can 4griculturist.

Your FIRST TroWsers.

''Oh my! Where did YOU get
them? Stand up and let me see!
Why, you are a perfect little man.
You, perhaps, remember standing
up and thinking that you arere a
little more manly. You remember
smoothing down their soft wooden
legs, of wondering at their ease and
comfort, and of being conscious of
a new Importance. Perhaps you
can recall slipping slyly out of the
front door, and taking quiet ramble
around the corner. A little girl
named Mary lived in the adjoining
house, and you were anxious she
should have a peep at the new mag
'nificence. You wouldn't have been
put out at the sudden arrival of
never SO many visitors, and in fact
asked your mother once or twice if
her nose didn't itch. You felt sat
isfed your own did, and ran your
hand down in your new side pocket
for the new red silk handkerchief
at least twice every ten minutes.
The streets were filled with men hur-
rying down to their work, and not
withstanding the chilly wind, you
took a seat on the front steps.
Wonderful coincidentl They all
wore trowsers and so did youi Why
was it so few glanced at those splen-
did dovecolored ones, when every
woman's face frightened, and every
one who knew you greeted you with
such a bland smile and such hearty
congratulation? The state of fork
edness, however, soon became nat
ural. 'Tis true, you still looked
down on Tommy in flannel skirts,
and possessed no words to measure
your contempt for the ponderous
hemisphere of bird's-eye presented
by little Joe; but the knees of the
new ,trowsers soon grew earthly in
your efforts at "knuckling down.
and plumping your comrades ''taw."
There was day when you received
a new satchel, many Christmases
and many birthdays; butt such
a day as this. There were occasions
for the distributions of prizes, for /
the reading of erudite compositions,
and the delivery of eloquent vale
dictories, but never an occasion of
so much importance.-Ne,o Orleans
Times.

Look to the Chickens.

Those not fully familiar with all
the requirements of the "Henery,"
should remember that if they desire
liberal crop of eggs in the winter,
fowls must be fed with raw meat,
chopped fine, not less than twice q,
week. They should also have con-
slant supply of gravel, also old NOR
tar, lime, or ground bone. They
should be kept warm-the house
should have southern exposure, if
possible, with window lights to shift
when necessary. No one who cares
about the appearance of his lawns,
or the cleanliness of his yards,
doorsteps, ETC., should allow his
fowls to wander about. A chicken
yard, as well as chicken house, is
indispensable. As a desert, feed
of crushed bones or bone dust,
should not be over looked. On it
mainly depends the success of the
henery in winter.

We Cannot do It

One of the saddest memories of
our unconverted days, is the influ-
ence we exerted for evil upon our
fellows. We look upon some going
down to destruction, whom we have
helped to confirm in their wander
ings from God. Some companion
whom we laughed out of his serious
ness; some dear friend whom we
persuaded to put off repentance un-
till he had enjoyed more of the So
called pleasures of life.
A husband strove to win his
wife from giving attention to her
souls salvation, at time when she
was deeply alarmed on the subject.
He was at last successful, and she
became as gay and Indifferent to re-
ligion as he could desire. After
wards he was converted, and now in
agony of soul he sought to undo
the fatal work. But all in vain.
John Newton, once on shipboard,
succeeded in undermining the faith
of young man, who had before led
an upright life. His career from
thenceforth was rapidly downward.
After Newton's conversion, he labor
ed most diligently to turn this young
man from his evil ways. But he
always replied that Newton first gave
him the idea of liberty, which he
was not willing now to forego.
Soon all restraint was thrown off
and he died miserable wreck.
We cannot take back the words
that have flown, nor the influence we
have exerted. If all has not been
on the side of right, we shall lay up
for ourselves food for bitter repent
ance. 1t is serious thought, too,
that this influence goes on when we
least intend it, when we are least
conscious of it. More than one
anguished heart has longed in its
last hours, that its influence might
be buried with it; but as well might
we seek to fetter mighty river. 1t
will flow. on forever, growing wider
and deeper, down to the great sea of
eternity.-S. s. Times. '...-

Farm and Household.
Remedies for Hollow Horn.
The following recipes are contri.

The following recipes are contri-
buted to the Rural Nev Yorker:
Take one pound of bittersweet
root, one and one third pounds of
tobacco; boil in chamber lye; add
one pound of lard; simmer down to
a salve. Shave the hair off between
the horns; apply to the head, rub
bed on well; put two thicknesses of
wooden cloth from horn to horn; tie
on with a string. / have used this
kind of salve occasionally, over forty
years, for hollow horn. Have cured
cattle that had not, been able to get
up in four days; also,garget in cows
udders, chapped teats, or any kind
of sores. Apply little to horses
ears, and the flies will;be very care
full not to trouble them.-s. H. M.
1 have never known the following
to fail even in the worst cases:
My plan is to fasten the animal in
a stable,o where it can be held and
take a middling-sized gimlet and
bore through both horns on the un-
der side, about two inches from the
head, into the hollow. Animals will
never be obliged to have their horns
bored but once unless they get stop
ped up, when they should be bored
out again, and they will never be
troubled with the hollow horn un-
less the holes get stopped.-Farm-
er.
Take strong spirits of champion,
pour it in the hollow on the top of
the head. If not very bad, that will
cure it. If that don't start it, take
gimlet and bore the horn about
three inches from the head, and put
about half a teaspoonfnl of cam
phor gum in each horn. If that
don't warm up the horns in two
hours, you need not try anything
else. Make some wooden plugs and
put in the holes when you get the
gum in. = -.leta
1 have cured very bad cases, so
that in two days they were as well
as ever. The better way, however,
is to apply the remedy on the first
symptoms; then little on the head
will start it.-James Harris.

How a Bow Wakes Up.

There he lies in his crib. nut
brown stub Of four years. He sleeps
the sleep of healthy childhood. In
the same position he lay when he
dropped into Inconsistencies, one
arm under his head, one leg kicked
out from under the coverlet. He is
perfectly motionless. His round
cheek pillows itself on the extended
arm, and his legs seem to have been
arrested in the middle of the last
restless kick, as the curtain fell over
his blue eyes, and he was asleep.
You can scarcely perceive his regu-
lar respiration. A train of cars
thunders by without notice-he
might be carried across the street
without awakening. ..-
1t is morning; daylight streams
into the windows; the sun shines on
the hill-tops. The sounds of stir
ring life are beginning to be heard
about the house. Watch the boy.
Still and motionless as a figure of
marble. AS you look, the gates of
sleep are suddenly unlocked. He is
awake in a twinkling-awake all
over. His blue eyes are wide open
and bright-his lips part with
shout-his legs fly out in different
directions-his arms are in rapid
motion-he fops over with a spring
in ten seconds he has turned a
couple of somersaults, and presents
before you a living ILLUSTRATION of
perpetual motion. There is no de-
liberate yawning, no slow stretching
of indolent limbs, no lazy rubbing
of sleepy eyes, no gradually becom-
ing awake about it, with snap like
pistol shot he is thoroughly awake
and kicking-wide awake to the end
of each particular hair. The won
derful thing is its suddenness and
completeness. H,g .-.ala .

Good, kind, true, holy words
dropped in conversation, may be lit,
tie thought of, but they are like seeds
of flower or fruitful tree falling by
the wayside, borne. by some bird
afar, happily thereafter to fringe
with beauty some barren mountain
side, or to make glad some lonely
wilderness. ......
A Buffalo preacher thus addressed
the Throne of Grace one Sunday
morning:
30 Lord, bless those who are pres
ent; bless those who are on their
way hither; bless those who are get
ing ready to come; bless those who
did not come at all; and in q special
manner, we pray Thee, bless those
who arrived in time to hear the first
prayer"
Only one glass. And how many
have filled drunkard's grave
through its influence. How many
homes are made desolate, how many
bright anticipations of a glad and
happy future blasted by its blight
ing influence.
"Mr. Jones, l understand you

that had water in it." No, no."
was the reply, Il only said that you
sold me a barrel of water with a
little cider in it, ...
Let parents make every possible
effort to have their children go to
sleep in pleasant humor. Never
scold or give lectures, or in any way
wound a child's feelings as it goes
to bed. Let all Danish business and
let sleep come to a mind at peace
with God and all the world.
A servent girl in the town of B,
whose beauty was the subject of
general admiration and discussion,
in passing a group of officers in the
street, heard one of them exclaim
to his fellows, by Heaven, she's
painted Turning about she quick
lyreplied: "Yes, strand by Heaven,
only" The officer acknowledged
the rebuke, and apologized.
A young man, not long since, was
to enjoy an evening in
the company of young lady, fair
and entertaining, upon whom he
called, but found a serious obstacle
in the person of her stern and cor
dial father, who at length ventured
to very plainly intimate that the
hour for retiring had arrived. Il
think you are correct, my dear sir, "
returned the unabashed young
man. I'VE have been waiting
to have you go to bed for over an
hour"

Widow Jones' Cow.

Widower Smiths wagon stopped
one morning before widow Jones'
and he gave the usual signal that he
wanted somebody in the house, by
dropping his elbows on his knees.
Out tripped the widow, lively as a
cricket, with a tremendous black
ribbon on her snow white cap. Good
morning was soon said on both
sides, and the widow waited for
what was further to be said. a..
"Well, Ma'am Jones; perhaps
you don't want to sell one of your
COWS, no how, nothin', no way, do
you?" :
"Well, there, Mr.. Smith; you
couldn't have spoken my mind bet
ter. A poor lone woman like me,
does not know what to do with so
many creatures, and 1 should be glad
to trade if we can fix it. "
So they adjourned to the mead
ow-Farmer Smith looked at Roam
then at the Downing cow-then
at the widow again-and so on over
the whole forty. The same call was
made every day for week, but
farmer Smith could not decide
which COW he wanted. At length,
on Saturday, when widow Jones
was in q hurry to get through her
baking for Sunday-and had ever
so much to do in the house, as all
farmers wives and widows have on
Saturday-she was a little impa-
tient. Farmer Smith was as irres-
olute as ever. oG'i .isI --#i Hi

fair creature--but"-he stopped and

"The Downing COW knew before
the late DR.. Jones bought her."
Here he sighed at the allusion to
the late DR.. Jones. She sighed, and
they looked at each other. 1t was
highly interesting moment.
"Old Roam is faithful old milk,
and so is Brindle-but l have known
better" A long stare succeeded
this speech-the pause was getting
awkward, and at last Mrs. Jones
broke out:
la. Mr.. Smith, if Tn the COW
you want, do say SOL"
The intentions of widower Smith
and the widow Jones were duly pub
lished the next day, as is the law
and custom III Massachusetts, and
as soon as they were out published
they were married.
