The Best Breeds of Poultry.

noticed some valuable suggestions in re-
gard to improved breeds of poultry and also
that you wished to know what breeds to
raise. This is difficult question TO answer
and depends altogether upon the require
ments OF those who keep poultry; there are
two classes certainly, those who can give
their fowls an unlimited run and those whose
space is small for the rearing of fowls, hay-
ing perhaps to rear them altogether in con-
finement. As valuable hints as we have ever
seen are given in the Old farmers Almanac
this year; few we will give The writer
here says: "To the large poultry keeper who
wants eggs the non-setters are preferable and
for those who want chickens the Asiatics are
best" And will give bit of my own ex-
perience as sort of fancier Of pure bred
poultry. 1 tried light Brahmas first, bred
them two or three successive seasons and
found them rather tardy to mature, would
not lay an egg until from six to ten months
of age; and they are as long comparatively

The Gang Pl0w.


correspondent of the Chicago Tribune
writes the following experience as to gang and
sulky plows:
II have yet to see any value in the gang
pillow, and yet they appear to gain in popular!-
ty. AS general rule, two horses are enough
for one man to manage, and for these a.
inch pillow is sufficient. There are a few
farmers and farm-hands who can manage four
horses and a gang of two plows, and such
men ought to have the gang plows; but the
average farmer, farmland, or boy, should be
excused from using them. But the single
sulky pillow is an implement that ought to
come into general use. l have had Skinner
sulky for nearly ten years, and could not well
do without it, or similar one The past TALL
used Hapgood sulky for blowing out pota-
toes, and it proved the best thing tor that pur-
pose that have seen. There was no dcdg-
ing of the hills. A neighbor, who had
twenty-five dollar potato-digger, also gave it a
trial. and pronounced it better than the dig
ger. as it did better work. For all but the
most able bodied men, the sulky pillow is of
inestimable value. know soldier who lost
leg and an arm, who does all OF his blowing
with sulky pillow, drives his planter, and
does his cultivating with sulky cultivator.
Without these he could do little of his farm
work, but, with them, is enabled to grow fine
crops with q small amount of help.
at the Sidney trial last year large number
of suky and gang plows were present. Only
a few of the latter were sold, while orders for
the former we're lively. One agent told me
that he had taken orders for seventy. The
mott, if not all, of the sulky plows are made
too heavy, land no doubt this defect will be cor.
rected. The cost of sulky pillow is the most
serious objection against them; but have no
doubt that good one will be put on the
market at $50 to $35, against $50 TO S1O, as
at present. In the first place they will be
cheapened by using less material; and, in the
second place, by the manufacture in greater
numherSo

Dear Strive ha re good reason for regarding your
VEGETINE medicine of the greatest value. We
feel assured that has been the means OF saving our
sons life He is seventeen years of age; for the
last two years he has suffered from necrosis of his
leg caused by scrofulous affection, and far
duced that nearly all who saw him thought his re-
covery impossible council of able physicians
could give but the aintest hope of his ever rally
ing two of the number declaring that he was beyond
the reach of human remedies, that even amputation
could not save him, be had not vigor enough to en-
dure the operation. Just then we commenced giving
him VEGETINE and from that time to the present
he has been continually improving. He has lately
resumed studies, thrown away his crutches and cane
and walks about cheerfully and strong.
Though there is still some discharge from the OPEN
ing where his limb lanced we have the fullest
confidence that in little time he will be perfectly
cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles of VEGE-
TINE but lately but little, he declares he is
too well to be taking medicine

Waring, to prove that to raise corn even, inc
droppings will pay the expense of the flock OF
fowls.
In the spring Of 1872 started with seven
Brown Leghorn hens and one cock, and from
those eight fowls and their progeny, l have
raised over 5000 that have been sold at aver
age price of $500, and have on. hand at the
time of writing from 500 to 600, worth from

for Matching, at an average of $4.OO per COZ
en-, and nearly 5000 worth for consumption
by an egg-eating community, making, IN all,
$500, from eight fowls in two and one-half
years.
Looking at the matter from another stand

the markets at seventy-fve cents each, or
$1,7O0, and my eggs at an average OF twenty

we have grown hundreds of bushels OF straw
berries that have made work for men and
bows, and with their bright colors and sprlSht-

many weary family in the city. This alone
would pay me well.
Some people say, it is all very well to re-
count your profits right there in the city as
it were. But hold, my friends, my corn

yours costs you in Illinois, and my wheat
costs me three times as much. My other eX-

There are many places in the West where
people will laugh at the idea of utilizing the
manure of fowl, but in all kindness l would
