FEEDING FOWLS.

Just now, at the commencement Of the
laying season, it is particularly important
that fowls have a greater variety and in
creased quantity Of food. Not only is
animal life to be sustained, but the daily
egg is to be provided for, and fat secreted
for absorption during the process of incu-
baton. During the Summer, if allowed
to run at large, fowls will supply them
selves with a sufficient variety of food I;
for nothing edible ever comes amiss to a
hen; she is not modest in her wants, and
there is no such word as enough in the
hen dialect.
In Winter it is unquestionably better
10 keep fowls confined in warm place,
one to which the sunshine has access to
MS much as possible, letting them out
only on warm, pleasant days. If con-
stantly allowed their liberty, they are
never content without wading in the
snow, half flying, half running over ice,
and flying from place to place, very likely
to land in some snow bank, whence they
must be extrcated.
Fowls will eat every kind of grain, and
no kind is injurious to full-grown fowls
save rye, and that only when fed in large
quantities. Indian meal, when scalded,
goes much further in feeding fowls, and
is better for them; indeed, all their food
should be warm in Winter, if possible.
Vegetables are undoubtedly as beneficial
to fowls as animals. The best way to
feed them is to boil and chop, and there
IL no kind that the fowls will not cat,
though they seem to have q partially for
beets. A very good way to feed the
chopped vegetables is to take one-third
Indian meal, one-third wheat bran, and
one-thrd vegetables, and add little ca
yenne or black pepper, several times
week. Fowls are very fond, too, of cur
died milk.
The digestive apparatus of fowls is
somewhat curious. The crop is simply
an enlargement of the esophagus or gull
let, sac answering to the paunch of ru-
minant animals, and performing no other
function than as a receptacle for food.
This opens into the gizzard, which is the
real stomach, where the gastric juice acts
upon the food, and between whose thick,
muscular coating the food is ground.
Very likely the little pebbles which
fowls swallow so rapidly facilitate the
process Of digestion; but they swallow
pieces of oyster shells, and other sub
stances composed Of lime, quite as readily.
BE this as it may, we know that lime is
required in more concentrated form than
is found in food, hence it is we'll to furnish
the fowls with pounded shells, bones, or
some similar substance. All kinds of
scraps from the table are good for fowls,
particularly scraps Of meat, and our ex-
perence is that nothing which comes
from the table Injuries them, save salt and
saeratus.

and best of all the Pills with which the mar

| family, and make all the different kinds of
Stitches, without the complications of the
other Machines.
All persons will please examine the WHEELER
d WILSON SEWING MACHINES before purchas-
| ing any other.
The WHEELER & WILSON, as is we'll known,
has won, at nearly every trial in which it has
| competed, the highest award of merit. The
representatives OF other machines, ever conf
dent, have entered the lists, time and again,
only to be defeated and finding it impossible
to compete fairly, have endeavored to decry
the value OF, Premiums. They are not slow,
| But In the grand trial, daily use throughout
the world, where only true merit finds favor,
and superiority wins the race, the WHEELER Il
WILSON SEWING MACHINE stands triumphantly
| the Champion by the verdict of the people.
These Machines are Adapted to
Every Variety of Sewing,
From the lightest muslins to the heaviest
cloths. They work equally well upon Silk,
Linen or Cotton thread; Scanning, Quilting,
iathering, Hemming, Felling, Cording, Tuck
ing, Braiding, Embroidering and making But
ton Holes with the greatest facility.
If it be inconvenient for the purchaser to
visit the salesroom, the order may be forward
ed to the office, and it will be as faithfully
filled as if the selection had been made per-
sonally.
Full instructions, recently complied, and
giving full information upon every point in
detail, accompany each Machine, and enable
the most inexperienced to operate without
difficulty.
Our interest in the successful working of the
Machines is not second to that of the purchas-
er, and we esteem it a privilege to aid by cor
respondence or otherwise, any person who may
require it.
