How TO MAKE FENCE PosTs LAST

INFLUENCE OF FooD ON PoULTRy.-
The influence of the food of poultry upon
the quality and favor of their flesh and
eggs has not generally been taken into
consideration but it is now well ascer-
tanned that great care should be exercised
iu regard to this matter. in some in
stances it has been attempted to feed
poultry on a large scale in France on
horse flesh, and. although they devour
this substance very greedily, it has been
found to give them a very unpleasant
flavor. The best fat:ening material for
chickens is said to be Indian cornmeal
and milk; and certain large poultry es.
tablishments in France. use this entirely,
to the advantage both Of the flesh and of
the eggs.

recent action of the American consul,
the American commander Of the gun
boat Kansas and the Spanish com
mander (Antroum) Of the Spanish
gunboat Base, in regard to the sail
ing OF the steamer Virginius from

milton on the island Of Cuba for the in
surgents, bad laid the vessel liable to
capture by the Spanish authorities al
any time after the commission Of such
alleged violation Of international law,

Thornton, lat Aspinwall, in response
to an inquiry, said the VirgiRius had the

as precedent the action Of Minister

The banks Of the Danube for many

but the general character Of the land

palsied willows, with an occasional pop
lar. are the only trees, the grass IS long
and rank, and flags and bulrushes

at division Of the land seems to have
been made-all is common property;
though here and there, where the herb
age is Of better quality and more fitted
for grazing purposes, one comes upon a
vast herd OF dun oolored, long-horned
cattle, or drove Of small, wiry, shaggy
horses, some browsing, some galloplng
wildly about in terror at the snoring

into waier-mills, while the others are
converted into residences for those who

The question OF sewerage is one Of
the utmost importance TO the citizens Of
all large cities, especially from SAM
tary standpoint. In Memphis no sys'
TEN of sewerage exists, aud the neces
sity for such system is universally adj
mitted. Recently Cincinnati furnished
thirty.three miles of sewers AT a great
coat and IS now entertained with the
proposition to compel every householder
ON the lines to connect with them at an
additional cost Of about one million OF
dollars. Il has been the universal opln-
ION that a complete system Of drainage
was absolutely necessary to preserve the
health in towns and cities, but this
theory has been met by a New York
journal with the statement that
both IN England and in the United
States, is now asserted that the com
munieAiion Of houses with the street
sewers almost invariably leads 10 the

A Famous Raft.

The famous Red river raft, which has
obsirneted the navigation Of that stream
for many years, has been more than half
cut through; 50 far, indeed, that small
steamboats, Of light draught, coming
from below, can now, by means Of
bayous or side channels, make their way
into the upper river above the great raft.
This raft was formed by an accumula-
ton of fallen trees and drift OF all sorts
which, having once covered the surface
Of the river from bank to bank and be-
come firmly wedged in place, grew
rapidly by fresh aceessions Of material
brought down by the current until it was
nine miles in length Soil was formed
on it by the settings Of the river and by
the decay OF its material and it was
covered with growing vegetation Of ali
kinds, including many large trees. The
lower part Of the raft, being the Oldest,
gradually rotted away, and portions
we're detached and carried OF by the
current, and TINS the raft travelled
slowly up stream from year to year, but
the gain from above was much greater
than the loss below, so that the raft in
creased in length faster than it moved
up the river. Several boats in the EN-.
ployment OF the United States are now
engaged with excellent success in cut
ting through this raft The process is
described by the correspondent of a
Western paper First; There is pow
erful tugboat which, coming up from the
raft below, makes fast 10 a projecting
log or tree, and pulls at it until IT is
dragged out, usually bringing a large
mass Of roots, logs and branches,
matted aud tangled together. This
is passed on to the boats below,
which are fitted up with large saws
worked by steam, and here the
floating island is separated, and the log
sawed up into short lengths aud set
adrift again. Gunpowder or any other
explosive has not been found useful 10
this work. The most compact aud stub
born portion of the raft has already been
cut through; what remains is expected
to prove comparatively light work, and
this obstacle, formerly regarded as insu-
perable, 70 the navigation Of the upper
Red river. will soon be entirely removed,
greatly to the advantage Of southwest
ern Louisiana and southern Arkansas.
