Shall we begin with Eggs or
Fowls.

This question is often asked by
those who are about to commence
breeding the better sorts Of poultry.
The most desirable fowls are always
high priced; and to give from twenty
10 fifty dollars for a single pair OF birds
seems q pretty large investment of
capital. The eggs are cheaper, though
still dear in comparison with market
eggs. The question is a fair one, and
worth looking at In starting a
flock of pure bred-turkeys. if We com
mence with eggs, they will cost $12
dozen at least,if you can find breed
er who is willing to sell them. They
then have to go through the hands Of
the express man. and it is. currently.
reported that eggs are sometimes bro /
ken or damaged on the passage. But
if they arrive safely, and are put i'm
mediately under setting hen, You
may get half dozen chickens, and
with fair attendance, raise them. At
the end of the season you have only
halt turkeys enough to start flock
with, if you have a good range.
Twelve dollars will buy a pair of
pure bred turkeys, if ordered in the
early part Of the season. The hen
will lay Tor the first setting about Is
eggs. If the eggs are taken from her.
and put under hens, she will very
soon lay a dozen or more for the set
ting. If the eggs are properly cared
for, and turned daily while they are in
the house, they are quite sure to hatch.
1t is safe to calculate upon thirty eggs
from good bird, and 8 flock OF q
dozen or more the first season. The
balance is altogether in favor Of buy
ing the fowlr. There il little shance
of getting cheated /; for if the birds do
not suit you, you have your remedy
at once. But you do not know what.
is in the eggs TIL the end Of the sea
son Tne best safety package for
the transportation OF eggs, yet invent
ed, is the ovary OF the mother. Its
quite rare for fowls, properly boxed,
TO be damaged in transit They csn
be sent across the continent with
about the same safety as across a coun-
ty. It costs but little more to buy
good fowls, and you can generally
gain one season-Cor. Poskry

PERFECT RrttEE.

There lave , en- in the Pro'.le -cy
market this winter q fsB hundred pan!
| Or butter which have 2 history. The"
came from a single dairy in Llno.a
and are unif,rn IN quality, hardly de
tinguishable, indeed, one from @0to
er, although made in summer, autumn
and winter. They are sweeter, and
have fresher and more delicate aro
ma than any ball butter we were able
to find last summer in Rhode Island
They contain little salt and no butter
milk. This perfect butter is churned
daily from fresh milk. Here hes the
secret. Milk one hour-butter the
next. No sitting Of milk pans aud
skimming and storing up OF cream.
No subjection OF milk and cream to
atmospheric, electric and thermal
changes. No expensive cellars with
running water TO secure fresh air and
equal temperature, or, in default,
perpetually fuctuating product OF
butter. In place of the inefficient
hand working of the butter, jaws
worked by power, squeezing out the
buttermilk, just as the melted Stag is
squeezed out of the softened iron in
pudding. The dairy farm at which
this butter is made has, we believe,
hundred or more COWS, in addition
to which milk is purchased from the
neighboring farms. 1t is, in other
words, a factory, producing butter on
a large scale,of uniform, excellent quail
ity. Our theory Of butter making has
always been to carry the milk from
the COWS directly to the churn, and
only to delay churning long enough
for the milk to cool to the proper tenn
persture. There would then be two
Cummings each day, and the quantity
should be sufficient to make one or |
more complete packages icr the mar
ket at each churniHg. theoretically, |
also, the caseine should be Immediate
ly separated from the residual milk
and buttermilk, and the ultimate pro-
ducts, butter and cheese, be the only |
substance remaining to be cared for
from day to day. In such a factory,
power and good machinery would
substitute hand labor, and uniform
ly good product of butter should re
suit. The cheese would be of Sec
ondary, though considerable import
ance. At the present time large
quantities of French butter, of uni.
iorm quality, are sold ii the English
market, at good price. Meanwhile,
American butter, in England, brings
much less than its value, from the
act that no two packages are alike,
sven from the same dairy. This holds
good of Rhode Island butter, in our
,wn market. The butter from the
anne dairy, in successive weeks in
has hardly a recognizable
A principal cause of
his diversity and inieliorty Of pro-
iuct, is the difficulty or impOssibility

Ible climate, and in any but the best
appointed dairy rooms or cellars The t

TiIlng Roads.

EDS. JKFF.:-Having given my
views in a previous number in reier
ence to he best method of improving
the roads, it may not be amiss to say
something about the cost OF the meth
cd recommended. The cost of dig
ging ditch for tile is the same, ,wheth-
er the tile be large or small. The
usual price in this community for dig
ging is twenty (2O) cents, and board
per rod, for an average of three feet
in depth. We will say twenty fiVe(25)
cents, where the laborer boards him
self, for making the ditch ready for
tile. Now, the following are the pri
ces current: For six (6) inch tie, four
and one half (4!) cents apiece; five(5)
inch tile four ~ cents apiece ; four
(4) inch, two and three -fourths (24)
cents apiece, and three(3) inch, (which
is as small as ever can be used to ad-
vantage in road making, ,one and nine
tenths q 9.1O) cents apiece. Sixteen
tile of any SIZE, all being the same
length, are calculated to lay a rod oi
ditch. Now, add to the cost of dig
ging the ditch twenty five Us cents
(72) cents, the cost OF six
(6 inch tile, and you have the cost of
the ditch, ninety-seven l97) cents,
minus the hauling, (which depends
upon the distance). And SO the five
(5) inch costs eighty nine (sa) cents;
four a. inch, sixty five (65) cents, and
tN-ee 81 inch, ffty-fve (55) cents
But it is not necessary to make any
ditch all of the largest tile Where
there is a long run, say one-halt u
mile, without an outlet, let the largest
be used at the outlet. Then as you
advance the water diminishes until
The five (5) inch tile is sufficiently y large
10 convey off al the water. Next,
use the four (4) inch, and so on till
you reach the head of the ditch.

PUT HER THROUGH.

The steamer Cassini, which lately
reached Philadelphia, after 4 long
passage from Liverpool, was evidently
commanded by an officer with q ge-
MUS for the healing art The ship ran
out Of coal, and rather than run the
risk of putting into Halifax, her COM
mander used parts of the cargo for
fuel. He first selected quantity of
asaietida, and with his odorons drugs
tumigrated his passengers until he felt
assured that they were safe from con-

acter. This novel practice he follow
ed up by burning vast quantities OF
Peruvian bark, whereby he evidently
believed that he would render his pas
senge-s proof against the malarious
poison which they would encounter in
Philadelphis. Other articles, most of
which are new to the materia medica,
were subsequently packed into the
furnaces, and the steamer was brought
triumphantIy into port, his passengers
being in vigorous health and full OF
gratitude to their medicinal captain.

Having visited some OF the fruit or.
chards ia the neighborhood of Muske
goB, we find them all to be more or
less injured by the severe winter
except,perhsps, cherry yandapple trees !;
aud some variety of apple trees seen
to be little affected. The peach
crop will be comparatively no crop
this year, though there viii be few
peaches in Western Michigan, if any
where inthe northwest. But even in
the fruit belt of the lake shore region
some of the trees are killed down to
the root, and many are killed back to
the extent of last year's growth OF
limbs. In examining halt a dozen
small orchards of from 100 to 1900
trees, very rarely did we find buds
that will blossom, and more rarely
buds that will develop fruit. In two
of the largest orchards we do not be
ieye there will be bushel of peaches
this season. In some others a few
trees in sheltered positions Shove
some buds apparently healthful; but
they are very few. Indeed, long ago
the people living along the shores
should have known that the severe
freezes of the past winter, producing
such an unprecedented extent and
depth OF ice in Lake Michigan and
the little lakes and bays along shore,
could not leave the peach trees un-
hurt. Many pear trees are also killed
outright. We think nearly one half
the peach trees OF Western Michigan
are destroyed, and shall be surprised
if by the middle OF June the evidence
Of it is not sufficient to convince the
most increduloas OF course the
"peach belt" viii suffer less tha, fur
ther inland.
The pear is suffering IN many places
more from "the bright" for which
there seems to be no certain remedy
than from the severe cold.
