Poultry Notes.

Thomas Heathwood, sue
cessful breeder Of game fowls,
gives the following as proper
food for young chickens: One
egg, with the shell beaten into
a quart Of raw oat meal, and
wet up with new milk. Feed
them from four to six times a
day, according to age. Let
tuce, onion tops, or fresh grass
chopped fine, should be given
them once a day.
The following rules for the
management OF chickens, from
The American Poultry Gazette,
is worthy of study by those who
have just engaged in the bust
ness of rearing fowls:
LIST. Keep your chickens in a
warm, dry coop. 2nd. The
coop should be cleaned out and
dry earth thrown in every day.
Bird. Let the chickens out after
the morning sun has re-
moved the wet from the grass.
4th. Feed them suitable food
and frequently. 9Th. Keep
pure water and where they can
get it easily. 9th. Keep them
away from fruit and vegetables
and stagnant pools.
Eggs,-A good egg is made
up OF ten partS shell, sixty
parts white, and thirty parts
yolk. The white of an egg
contains eighty-six per cent. Of
water, the yolk filty-two per
cent. The average weight of
an egg is two ounces.
Cold az the TBrodt.-This dis
ease is manifest in fowls by Il
noise as if some substance had
stuck in the throat. The fol-
lowing remedy is highly recon-
mended: A tablespoonful of wa
ter containing two drops Of the
tincture ofaconitc, given two or
three times a day, and plenty of
fresh water to drink,

A FRUSTRATING PLANT.


There are many plants that have the
power of imprisoning insects, which
are of course decomposed and thought
to afford sustenance to the plant. Al
a recent meeting of the British Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Sci
ence, q paper was read by Mr.. "A. w
Bennett, on the movement of the
glands of Drosera, or sundew. These
glands, which fringe the margin of its
leaf and cover the upper side, have
been shown by previous observers not
to be hairs in the true sense of the
term, 4. e., mere cellular expansions oi
the epidermis, but to be integral parts
of the leaf. with fbro-vascular bum
die, containing spiral threads lin other
words vein or nerve efthe leaf rum
ming through them, and even to be
furnished with stomata.
The glands exePete at all times.
when in healthy condition, a white
viscious gluten which quickly entraps
any small insect that settles upon the
leaf, gradually holding il down more
and more as it struggles, till escape is
hopeless. The glands soon begin 10
move toward The imprisoned insect :
this movement is not very conspicu-
Cho a. IA St1 uuO 10 vel
decided after the insect has almost
completely ceased its struggles; thus
appearing not to be due to the exist.
ence of ''contractiIe tissue" in the
leaf, which is irritated by the move
ment of the insect. After the lapse
of some time, the whole of the glands
of the leaf, even those which were
at considerable distance from the in
sect are found to be bending over
toward it and almost in contact with
it. After time the insect is to all
appearance digested, actually supply
ing tissues of the leaf with the nour
ishment.
Very nearly the same effect was pro-
duced by substituting for the fly 3
piece of raw meat, the movement of
the glands being somewhat slower,
but almost as complete : the meat be.
ing apparently digested in the same
manner. On the other leaves were
placed minute piece of wood and a
small piece of worsted ; and in neither
of these cases was the least change
perceptible after considerable time
in the position of the glands or the
object itself.

KIND WORDS.

The contentious which derange the
temper are easily dissipated by kind
words that cost us nothing. This
world at best is full of misery which
bears down the heart and sinks the
spirit low in the depths of sorrow
and despair. Melancholy sits supreme
upon her throne and spreads around
her the sad gloom of dependency,
obscures the serene sky of happiness,
hides the fair scenes of joy, and man.
ties nature with dismal robe of dis
content by the dreary clouds of for
gotten joy. She forces us to mediate
upon the misfortunes of the past, and
many dreary professions of sorry file
in slow and mournful measures
through our minds. Every unkind
word becomes barrier to our enjoy
ment and adds its might to the side of
sorrow; every past grievance looms
UP until our cup of woe is full, and
we sad victims of dependency are
tired of life and almost covet death as
a gIad-relief from earthly sorrow !
How sweet then sound the kind goords
of loving parent, a fond sister, a
true brother, or faithful friend! How
soonthe gloomy thoughts vanish from
the mind how willingly we cease to
mediate upon the sadder things of
