MATERIAL OF CONVERSATION.

Personalities are often regarded as the
zest, but mostly are the bane of conversa-
ton. For experience seems to have ascer-
tained, and at least usage has determined,
that personalities are always spiced with
more or less of malice But surely. you
would not have mixed convers alton always
settle into discussion of abstract topics
commonly speaking, you might as well feed
your guest with straw, chips and sawdust.
Often, too. it happens that, in proportion
as the subject of conversation is made alb
stract, Its tone becomes harsher aud more
dogmatical. And what are women to do !?
they whose thoughts always cling to what
is personal and seldom mount into the
cold, vacant air of speculation, unless they
have something more solid to climb around
You must admit that there would be sad
deartb OF entertainment and interest and
life in conversation without something of
anecdote and story. Doubtless. But this
is very different frcm personality. Conver-
sation may have all that is lively and pleas
ant without anything that comes under the
head OF personality. The house in which,
above all others, have ever been an IN
mate of, the life and the spirit and the joy
Of coDve sation have been the most intense.

SHASTA POULTRY RANCH.

The interest taken in breeding fine chick
ems for the table, for eggs, and even for
ornament, has increased in this country of
late years, and we may soon hope to rival
England, France, and some of the provinces
of Asia, in the production of the best class
Of poultry. Of course pure bred fowls,
selected especially for breeding purposes,
cannot be sold at the same rates as scrubby
dunghills, for it requires preparation, care,
time and expense, to keep the strains per-
fectly pure, and the different breeds fully
up to the proper standard of excellence
J,F. Gage is fitting up, on his place two
and half miles from Shasta, on the Horse
town road, extensive poultry yards, wherein
all the best breeds of Asiatic and Fancy
pousty will be reared-as speciality. The
poultry house is forty feet in length and
of convenient width, and divided off in
rooms opening on yards or runs constructed
so as to keep the different breeds and strains
of fowls separate. A constant supply of
pure water will be conveyed to the building
by lead pipe leading from neighboring
spring. The situation is an excellent one
for rearing fine poultry on an extensive
scale-combines all the advantages recon-
mended for location for that purpose by
the celebrated ianciers who control the
"Poultry World" establishment at Hartford,
Connecticut.
The chickens now on hand at this ranch,
are from the very finest fowls, mostly
hatched from eggs laid by birds imported
from the Old World by G. B. Bailey, the
noted poultry breeder and importer, (who
is backed and recommended by the Presi-
dent of the Bank of California, and whose
honesty is unimpeachabIe.) The flock
embraces the most popular varieties, and
several rare and valuable kinds Of the feath-
cred tribe are being imported for this ranch,
from the Eastern States and from Cochin
Chipa-and when these additional varieties
are received, and the Shasta Poultry Ranch
is fully fitted up, it will be the best and
most complete institution OF the kind in
the State, and thoroughbred fowls can be
had at as reasonable prices as the cost of
rearing them will permit
None but the very best breeds are allow
ed on the ranch, and every fowl offered for
sale is guaranteed to be thoroughbred, aud to
pass muster as such before any true poultry
fancier in the world
1t is contemplated to shortly add to the
establishment one of Graves Patent Iucu-
bators, which will do away with the neces-
sity of botheriog with these embodlments
of ill-nature which gave rise to the remark
-"cross as setting hen" The Incuba
tors hatch by artificial heat.
