lss,sara from ONE Fowl.

Lewis Wright, the well-known Eng
hsh poultry writer, says that III one IN
stance the droppings OF four Brahma
fowls in one night weighed exactly one
pound in another instance Ii ounces.
The average was 81 ounces per bird,
but which was reduced by drying to
l. ounces. On a basis of one ounce to
each fowl, the amount per year Will be
- 81 pounds, and for a flock Of 30
head no pounds. He pronOunces
the manure equal to guano, and better
in some respects; but counting 1t as
worth only $50 per ton, the manure
from 80 fowls will be worth SO per
annum, or 30 cents per head. This es-
innate is not probably any too high,
and is worth remembering by those
who keep poultry, or who propose to
do so.
It should also be remembered that
this estimate IS merely for the night
droppiugs, and takes no account OF the
value of what is made in the day time.
Much of this last. no doubt, is lost by
exposure, but judicious management
OF poultry yards by brc elders bent on
saving everything possible would pro
badly result in devising a mode OF
utilizing most of II.

New Five Dollar Notes.

The plates for the new five dollar
national bank notes have been COM
pleted at the Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing, Treasury Department, and
the work of printing the new issue will
be commenced in a week or ten DAYS.
though they will not be ready for cir
culation for a month or six weeks. The
new note will be one of the handsom-
est ever issued by the Government, It's
general appearance being far superior
to the old ones. The size is the same
as the present note, but in the left
hand corner, instead of the representa-
ton of Columbus discovering America.
there is a vignetta head of Rufus King.
one of the first United States Sena-
tors from New York. In the right
hand end of the note, instead of the
representation of Pocahontas and
Smith, there is neat piece of geomet-
rical lathe work, with the figure IS !"
engraved on It's face III white Beneath
this is the seal of the United States in
green. At the top of the note are the
words g Circulating Note National
Currency" III Roman letters, forming a
curve. The other lettering OF the note
is as follows: 1.-The National Bank
III the City OF - will pay five
dollars on demand. -, Cashier;
--, President :" and beneath this
the words, "Secured by United States
bonds deposited with the Treasurer of
the United States. e. E. Spinner,
Treasurer OF the United States; Jno.
Allison, Register Of the Treasury" On
the new note the signatures of the
bank officers appear III the centre of it
instead of at the bottom, as in the old
one, and the names of the Treasury
officials are at the bottom that Of
General Spinner beng at the right in
stead of the left At the top of the
new note, on the right hand side above
the lathe work, the names OF the city
and state wherein tie bank Is located
will appear. Much of the lettering on
the face of the old note is omit
ted from the face of the new
one and put on the back INSTEAD.
Two large VS. complete the face, one
at either end of the cycloidal work.
Tie back OF the note is OF a very neat
design, bordered by an elaborate scroll
work, with the word Give in each
corner. In the center Is classical
figure representing America, and be
meath this the words, "This note is
receivable" &c. Another feature of
the new note Will be the numbering
panel on the face, beneath the vignettc
of King. The background of this panel
is SO arranged III fugitive colors that
any attempt to alter the number will
mutilate the whole The bank number
Will appear upon this plate, and the
Government number upon the back in
blue figures.

The Boy Whose Mother Cuts His lair.
Fl the DanbHry News

You can always tell boy whose
mother cuts his hair. Not because the
edges look as if 1t had been chewed off
by an absent-minded horse, but You
tell by the way he stops on the street
and wriggles his shoulders. When a
fond mother has cut her boys hair she
is careful to guard against any annoy
ance and muss by laying sheet on the
carpet. 1t has never vet occurred to
her to sit him over bare floor and put
the sheet around his neck. Then she
draws the front hair over his eyes and
leaves it there while she cuts that which
is at the back. The hair which lies
over his eyes appear to be surcharged
with electric needles, and that which
is silently dropping down under his
shirt band appears to he on fire. She
has unconsciOuSly continued 10 push
his head forward until his nose presses
his breast, and is too busily engaged to
notice the snuffiing that is becoming
alarmingly frequent. In the meantime
he is seized with an irresistible desire
to blow his nose, but recOllects that
his handkerchief is IN the other room.
Then a fly lights on his nose, and does
it 50 unexpectedly that he involuntarily
lodges, and catches the point of the
shears in his left ear At this point
he commences to cry and wish he was
a man. But his mother doesn't notice
him. She merely hits him on the
other ear, to inspire him with conf
dence, and goes on with the work
When she is through she holds his
jacket collar back from his neck, and
with her mouth blows the short bits of
hair from the top of his head down his
back. He calls her attention to this
fact, but she looks fer Il new place on
his head and hits MIN there, and asks
him why he didn't use his handker-
chief. Then he takes his awfully dis
figured head to the mirror and young
as he is, shoulders as he thinks of what
the boys on the street will say.

Much OF the future growth, and, III
fact, mach of the profits of the farmer
arising from his stock, depends upon
the care which it receives during the
first wear. | DO not wish to be under
stood by this that If farmer takes
good care of his stock the first year he
can afterward let them run hap hazard.
Every good farmer Will see that his
stock is at all times well cared for
But the first wear Is the foundation; 1t
is the starting point of their future
growth. There are many farmers who
are in the habit OF giving their calves
nothing but whey from the time they
are about three weeks old until they
weancd. They are then left to
run and pick their living as best
they may until winter. when they are
taken to the barn aud put into some
little back howell, with nothing but hay,
until spring or, as | have often seen,
turned into 4 stack. In either case
they are, when spring comes, SO stunted
and poor that they make but a slow
growth ever afterwaTd Consequently,
when selling time comes, the farmer
finds his stock far behind III size and
price of his neighbors who cared well
for themselves. One instance of this
came within my knowledge. Some
steers raised as above sold for SIS
while those of a neighbor, which had
been well cared for while young sold
readily at So. The quality of the stock
of the former was fully equal to the
latter to start h.-COrrespOHd6nce

Perpetual lee.

The Poughheepsie Telegraph says
that there is pass III the Catskill
Mountains, between Shandakin Cen
tire and Westkil, Ulster county,
where snow and ice can be found at ali
seasons of the year 4 road runs some
five miles up deep hollow, bounded
on the two sides by high mountains,
with clear, ice-cold stream of water
running down its centre. Stretching
across the head of this hollow is anoth-
er mountain somewhat higher than the
others, that makes one think the pas
sage-way had suddenly terminated IN a
sort OF cul de sac, but on arriving at
its base the road turns directly to the
right and enters a narrow pass, hardly
fifty feet Ill width. On each side the
mountains tower upward Il thousand
feet from the roadway, not perpenc lc-
ular, but so steep that when the trees
have shed their foliage the top can be
seen by person standing mt the foot.
There Is snow and ice during the hot
test days of summer few feet from
the roadway. There are large masses
of solid ice III some caves not further
than five feet from the road Strange
as it may seem. the growth of vegeta-
ton is very rank, the lischens especi-
ally covering the rocks profusely,
though animals are very scarce, it be-
ing too cold or their comfort

Revolution. Never Go Back,ya :.

The philosophical theory that the human system
when weakened by disease, oppressive heat. excess
i've labor, or any other cause, should be toned and
invgorated instead of being subjected to the action
OF depicting drugs is gaining ground every day.
The introduction of Hostetters Stomach Bitters
twenty years ago gave powerful influence to this
common sense idea. AS the extraordinary efficacy
of the Great Vegetable Restorative became known,
multitudes of debilitated invalids turned with
loathing from the nauseOus and strength destroy
ing potions with which it was then the fashion 10
drench the SICK to this renovating, appetizing,
vitalizng preparation derived from the finest roots,
herbs and barks placed by botanical research at the
disposal of medical science. Revolutions never go
backward. From that time to the present the i'm
portance of assisting and reinforcing nature in her
struggles with disease has been more and more
widely and keenly appreciated by the sick and the
suffering. In tens of thousands Of households Hos
letters Bitters looked upon the one thing
needful in cases Of Dyspepsia General Debility,
Constipation, Nervous Weakness, Chiils and Fever,
Bilious Affections, and all conditions OF the body
and mind that betoken a lack Of vital energy.
When the quicksilver ranges high, and the solid
flesh ia resolving itself into den under the fevid
temperature this agreeable tore is the best possible
safeguard against all the disorders generated by
sultry and unwhoesome atmosphere. 1t prevents
relieves lassitude and languor, and enables the sys
TEN to endure with impunIty az unusual amount
of eNertiCn. OF all invlgorat1nC and regulating
medicines, 1t Is the purest and most wholesome.

Origin 0I a Familiar Line.

that the oft-quoted line, Though lost t.

ven Jenlvns. and was first published IN the
Greenwich Magazine for Marines i'll l70l OF
1902. As literary curiosity, we quote the
whole poem:
Sweetheart, goodbye! the futtring sail
Is spread TO wait me far from thee,
And soon before the wiring gale
Ny ship shall bound upon the sea.
Perchance, all desolate and forlorn,
These eyes shall miss thee many year
But untorgotien every charm
Though lost to sight, to mem'ry dear.

\ Talk About Fences.

BY the Lenawee, (Nich.l Farmers Club.
Mr.. Isham gave the cost, after close
calculation, of the various board fenc-
ings. A fence with cedar posts and
five boards high to cost 3. 53 per rod !;
the same with oak posts to cost SI33.
Another with oak. one six-inch board
ut the bottom, two four-inch and one
three inch board to cost 96 cents. \
picket fence for farm, of oak, to cost

Mr.. Sayles gave the cost of the old
fashioned rail or zigzag fence to be one
dollar per rod, estimating the cost of
new rails at fifty dollars per thousand,
and staked and wired FIVE rails from
the ground. He gave as his opinion
that such a fence was much cheaper
for a farm fence than board fences. In
