Eattening Fowls.

The old plan of fattening fowls was
to put from eight to dozen in a coop
with an open front, feeding them regu-
larry three times a day. BY employing
a rallied or barred floor, so that all the
dung can fall through, very good re-
suits may be obtained in this way,
though either of the processes of cram
ming is now considered quicker and
more economical, as compared with
what we may call the natural
plan. The coop must be arranged so
as to be permanently dry and free from
draught, and should have n canvass
cover to draw down and keep the in
mates in darkness. Only fowls which
have run together must be pinned up
In the same coop, or their disagree
ment will prevent any increase of
weight. Before commencing, the coop
should be whitewashed and the bot
tom bars cleaned, tc prevent annoy.
ance from vermin; and when put in,
the chickens should be left for several
hours without any food at all. This
is essential, and the neglect of it is
why many amateurs, in their first at
tempts in fattening their surplus, com
pletely fail; as the birds, being
naturally fretful at their utter con-
finement, refuse to eat heartily, and
rather pine away whereas, by well
fasting them before any food is given,
they begin to feed at once. The quan.
tity must be measured by the appetite,
and none, on any account, left; but
clean, fresh food given--as much as
can be eaten without leaving, and water
being supplied at the same time. When
the feeding is done, the canvas covering
should be drawn down, and the birds
left in darkness till an hour before the
next meal. The times of feeding must
be observed with the greatest punctu.
atty, or the fowls viii fret and lose
condition. The best food will be a
mixture of barley-meal and oat meal,
or buckwheat- meal with the husk sifted
out, and mixed with milk. A little
suet or lard added is recommended 10y
some good authorities, and increases
the fattening, but only to the advantage
of the basting ladle. The process will
be completed in from fifteen to twenty
days, and should be carefully watched
as, when the proper point is once
reached, the chickens, if not immedi-
ately killed, rapidly decline away

AGRICULTURAL.
New Apples wanted

Much attention has been given of
late years to raising new grapes; new
strawberries, new pears, aud other
sorts of fruit, but why is the apple so
nearly neglected 1t is the most val
liable fruit of the North, all its excel.
lent qualities considered, and yet less
attention is given to crossing and rails
ing new varieties than of fruits of much
less value. Old men can remember
the Rhode Island Greenlng, Baldwin
and Roxbury Russell when they were
boys; but where is the new apple that
will supersede any of these If some
OF our enterprising young pomologists
would plant only dozen trees OF the
best sorts, so that the branches
would intermingle as in the case
of DIR. Kirtland's cherry trees,
quantity of crossed seed might
be obtained In few years
that would plant specimen nursery
or orchard of seedlings 10, 900 or 10000
in number. Cross the Baldwin with
the Swaar, the Esopus Spitzenburg
with the Belmont, and the Rhode Is
land Greening with the Wagner, and
there is no doubt that among so many
new sorts there would be some that
woul1 combine the vigor and produc
tlveness of one with the excellent fla
vor of the other. A thousand trial
trees might occupy an acre till the
period of bearing, and nothing could
exceed the interest with which these
iiew sorts would be watched as they
Redeemed into beauty and excellence
for the first time. The most promising
might be grated into old trees, twenty
sorts or more in one tree, and the pc
Rod OF bearing thus accelerated. Who
is there that has enough enterprise to
undertake the task on a large scale z

ny HELEN HUNT.


We do not think of any words
We do not even loug for kisses
We win not jar our ecstaCy
BY even sweetest minor blisses.
When we can lie, just for the asking,
In beloved presence basking,
Silent basking,
In simple, subtle presence basking.
Oh, midday sky your vanished birds
Are drinking all the moons great rapture /:
Oh, glowing air your iantest thrill
Some folded wing will tel and capture:
Each stirless leaf is shading, masking
Some mute, glad, tiny creature, basking,
Silent basking,

oh, secret greater than Loves words
Oh, secret greatest OF Loves blisses

And careless men dream not of asking
Itlovers love when they lie basking,

England TO be Supplied with American
Coal.

One OF the results of the recent great
advance In the price of coal in Europe
is visible IN the fact that various largo
manufacturers in France, Germany and
Russia are casting about for new
sources of supply. They think it feas
IDLE to import Pennsylvania coal, and
an analysis of the different kinds
mined in that state is being made, with
view of ascertaining whether they
are suitable for use in the foreign fac
tories needing them. Already Penn.
ssylvania has been able to undersell
English coal in the West and East In.
dia markets, and it looks very much as
II she might, to certain extent, be
able to compete with European coal
in portions of Europe itself.

When food is too wet and "sloppy,"
dry cotton cake or corn is good and

nine pints of water to one pint of dry

Extracted Honey--How 20 Put IL up for
Sale.

Sale.
The MISE of movable comb hives and
honey contractors, and the consequent
increased supply of honey, has brought
into existence new Industries, such as
the manufacture of glass honey-jars,
corks, labels, tinfoil caps, ETC., for
putting the honey ia a saleable shape,
or packing it for transportation. Every
thing III the line of articles above men
toned, | can furnish from this city at
rates as favorable. as they can be
bought at any other point.
The best shaped honey jars, in my
estimation, both for sale and for pack
ing with the least waste space, are
square jars, containing one OF two
pounds of honey. Ishall have on hand
for next season a large lot of these jars,
with the imprint, Zone or two lbs.

with suitable place for label. also
furnish corks and tinfoil caps, and
labels with blanks left to insert pro-
ducer's name and address. Or, if or.
dered in quantities not less than 1000,
l can, at a slight advance, have the adj
dress printed.
After the jar is corked press tinfoil
cap over the cork and neck of the bot
tie with YOUR hand first; and then finish
with a leather strap; about fite.eighths
of an inch wide and four feet long,
one end of it fastened to the wall. The
strap should be wrapped once around
the neck of the bottle, and while one
end is held tight by one hand, the bot
tie should be passed forward until the
tinfoil is properly smoothed down. For
my own use | have made HORSE so

For shipping, jars should be packed
