PREPARING CHICKEN FEED-Pou1

PREPARING CHICKEN FEED.-Peul-
try dough should not be made too thin.
Many young chickens die, by being
forced to take too much water with
their food, whereas, if fed properly, they
might live. Giving meal too wet will
not prove fatal in the case of grown
fowls, but they thrive better if the food
is mixed stiff enough to crumble The
food is moistened while in the crop by
secretions from glands. 1t next passes,
little at time, into pouch formed
by the expansion of part of the pas
sage between the crop and gizzard.
Here other digestive juices are secreted,
also in the gizzard, and still further on
Now if the food contains too much
water before it is fed, these digestive
juices are diluted and impaired All
healthy animals regulate their thirst by
the needs of the system, therefore, if
they are always kept well supplied with
water, separate from the food, they will
drink only what is necessary, and in
mixing food it is best to be on the safe
side

SUCCESSFUL PEAR CULTURE.-L &
A. B. Rathbone, of Oakfeld, Genesee
county, N. Y, have furnished for this
Department the following facts relative
to their experiment in cultivating pears:
In the Spring Of 1854 they set out
1000 dwarf pear trees, 5000 Duchess,
500 L. Bonnie de Jersey, 400 Beurre de
Anjou, and 100 Vicar of Wakefield
The trees are ten feet apart, each way,
occupying ten acres. The soil is "a
gravelly loan, mixed with sand, with
clay subsoil" For FIVE years the trees
were severely pruned. The orchard
has received medium cultivation, but
no fertilizer, except that in June, 1878,
it was dressed with about 80 bushels
per acre of slaked lime and unleached
wood ashes Delivered in barrels at
Batavia, and beginning with 1858, the
several amounts received for annual
sales for six successive years were as
follows, and in the order named: 500,
$3.50, $l1O, 1888, $2,25O, $500
total, $8,55S 1t will be noticed that
in the last named year, 1873, the gross
sales reached 1858 per acre.

MANAGEMENT AND YIELD OF Cows

MANAGEMENT AND YIELD OF Cows.
The Hadley Farmers Club held a
discussion upon the above:
S. F. Welle, of Deerfeld, said the
quantity of milk and butter, and the
profit, depended much upon the breed
of cows, and the manner of feeding,
and farmers would make it pay to give
more attention to these facts.
S. W. Buffuu, of Winchester, n. H.,
said that cows in his State averaged
about 1900 quarts of milk per year, and
it required IA quarts of milk to make
one pound of butter. The average mar
ket price for butter, or what it would
net the dairyman, would be % cents
per pound, making the yearly produc-
ton of single COW about thirty dol
lars, while through the Connecticut
Valley the average annual production
Of milk for each COW was about 5000
quarts and 10 to II quarts of milk
would make one pound of butter, and
the price obtained for the butter was
about As cents per pound, making the
yearl y production of the cow about one
hundred and fifty dollars.
Dea. Buffum attributed the difference
in the two localities, to the improved
breeds in this section, and the difference
in feeding; said that feeding roots and
soiling cows had much to do with the
increase of milk.
II. c. Haskell, of Deer6eld, said with
his Jersey cows the average amount of
butter per annum for each, would not
vary much from 800 pounds, and as he
obtained GO cents a pound for his but
ter it paid him pretty we'll. Mr. Has
kell said that on trial of the milk for
two days in each month be found that
while ordinarily l6 pounds or quarts
of milk made one pound of butter, that
in the hottest weather of Isay it took
% pounds.

and spiritualism; where, on the one hand

tency and promise of every form OF
life while on the other the appearance
of the supernatural, is confidently an
nounced By its believers, the general pub
lie knows not where to look for hnal
settlement of alldoubts. therefore beg
leave to announce that am prepared at
any time to prove to the satisfaction OF
all, that genuine spirits do exist, and that
they are of ancient, pre-Adamic purity.
For this purpose select seances Will be
daily held at the Tidal Wave" Saloon,
to which 1 invite all DESTROYS of investi-
eating this subject. Glassware Will be
substituted for cabinets, and all darkness,
mystery and doleful music will be dis
pensed with. Terpsichorean manifesto
tions on the part of the tables or crock
cry ware will not be expected, although a
too protracted examination by the inves-
tigators may produce in them some such
happy tendency. An attendance at one
of nv entertainments will serve to con-
vince the most skepticaI, and he will feel
inclined to believe that the old story of
the celestial ambroSia and the ministra-
tions of Hebe, was not all fable.

"If the highest art of the actor is to
conceal his art, to give approximation that
shall make his auditors forget they gaze
upon mimic presentation, and imagin"
they look at the living actual reality,
then certainly he or she who best sue
cccds in this conccalmcnt is the best cX-
poncut Of the drama. And in this SEEM
ing reality is the best evidence of genius.
That is but poor actor who shows that
he is acting; that it is II sham disguise
he wears. To Maggie Mitchell can
chcerfully be accorded The honor Of be-
Ing the best imitator of nature who has

\ HINT To BUSINESS MEH.-lt has
been suggested that the opportunities Of
policemen, nightwatchmen and others,
who patrol the streets in the business
quarters Of the city after night fall for
detesting the operations of burglars,
would be much improved in case every
merchant would take pains to have his
store lighted on closing so that every part
of the interior could be reasonably
well seen from without; and also to
leave only certain gas jets burning every
night. The police and night watchmen
would soon gain a knowledge OF each
light in every store, and any change, or
the extinguishment of the jet, would e1-
cite suspicion and elicit investigation as
to the cause.

to say that the play has been thoroughly

cellencc than are usually interpolated in
this class ofplays.

ces, and we know he will not only have
appreciation but large audiences.
