Concerning Poultry,

Poultry breeding has now come to
be regarded as important branch of
farm industry as the raising of swine
and sheep. In one sense it is of more
Importance, in that it is not every
farmer who can keep sheep or swine
with advantage. but every one who
owns or rents a plot of land, if only
the size of city lot, can keep few
head of poultry with pleasure and
profit. When taking in consideration
the vast number of eggs annually con-
sumed in the United States-the city
of New York alone using during the
year 1872 upwards of 0,0G0, 600, cost
ing at wholesale about Sc, 292, G00-and
when we note the immense number of
tons of poultry sold in all the large
cities of the Union, we cannot call the
poultry interest one of minor import
ance. Yet it is but few years since
that the name of poultry breeder
seemed to convey an idea of insignifi-
eance. Now, however, the proprietors
of large stock farms have their focks
of pure bred fowls, which get their
share of attention and study as well as
the horned cattle and horses, and the
net income from we'll managed poul-
try yard is no small addition to the
farm receipts.--he Poultry Record.

The McEnery government was at that
time completely established rs if its
power had dated a century back. It
was the government dc jlre. Thatdid
not do ii much practical good while its
officers were prevented By the military
force OF the usurper from exercising
their functions; but when the people

hands aud put their elected rulers into
their proper places. then the legal
title and the actual possession unlted
Ia the same persons. 1t is mere folly
to say that Kellogg was Governor an
instant after that. The forci5le rein
statement of him was an Instruction
against the proper authority Of the

duct there can certainly be no decent
pretence of justification. and, so far as
[ can perceive, no reasonable excuse,
unless he can say that his legal advis-
ers imposed upon him by false read
ing of the Constitution.
Mr.. O'Conor refers to Congress as
the paramount authority, whose re-
cognition of the Kellogg government

all others. The opinion Of the Court

1t is certain that Congress could not
legislate Kellogg in or out of office

When to Sow Blue Grass.

A Kentucky correspondent of the
American Farmer says: The best time
for sowing blue grass seed is in the
fall, with wheat, rye or oats. This
brings the grass up In the spring.
Keep stock off after you CLEAN the
field until the following June or July,
at which time you will have a beauti-
full pasture. IF you wish to sow in
timber, use the same quantity of seed,
and root" it in with hogs. Sow a
small piece at first, mixing in some
oats, rye or corn, to make the hogs
hunt after the grain; then sow another
piece in the same way until you have
finished the whole field Age does
not destroy the vitality of the seed,
nor of another grass seed, if kept from
heating. | have sown blue grass that
was six years old, and had been kept in
bag in dry cellar. 1t is almost i'm
possible to heat it. No one should
sow seed of any kind that has been
kept in bulk during the summer
months, as it goes through too much
sweating if kept in a heap or Creamery.
If spread on floor, where it can get
the air all the time, there is no danger

Profits of Sheep Husbandry.

1t is getting to be pretty generally
conceded that stock raising is about
the only resource left to avoid almost
universal bankruptcy and we find a
great number of planters turning their
attention to sheep husbandry. In a
recent letter from DR.. W. Dabney. of
Mississippi, he gives a detailed and in
teresting estimate of the result of
breeding sheep, commencing with five
hundred common ewes and fifteen
merino rams For want of space we
must omit the figures, but will say that
the calculations show the DIR. to be
fully versed on the subject on which
he writes. The original cost of the
flock is put at $1,000. The estimates
cover all the expense of shepherd,
hurdle fence, make allowance for
reasonable loss by disease, etc, and
five years business shows clear profit
of $4,000. Think of that, cotton
planter, you who toll without profit,
year after year, with immense hands.
The risk of heavy losses by disease,
dogs, etc, is not SO great as the risk
incurred on ordinary farm crops. 1t
must be noted that the flock is bred to
merino bucks, thereby increasing the
value of each successive eross.-Phu-
TIPS Southern Farmer.

The Chattanooga, (Tenn.,) Iron
Company made their first run of iron
on the 18th ult. The daily CONNER
cial of that place says: Chattanooga
has greater interest in the success OF
this enterprise than almost any other
ever organized here. About the cheap
production of pig iron at this point
there can hardly be doubt, and this
pioneer company will soon determine
whether iron Of a fine quality can be
produced. IF in both these respects
this furnace is successful, il will be
followed by many more and We shall
speedily see practical realization OF
all that has been claimed for this city
as an iron manufacturing centre.
