Boiled Corn for Poultry.

In the breeding of poultry, as in all other
pursuits, little care and forethought invari-
ably return an apparently disproportionate re-
suit. In the rearing of poultry, where the ex-
penditure on each fowl is small and the mate
rial provided comparatively inexpensive, we
are apt to overlook the small wastes which
occur in the transformation OF the different
grains into poultry, but which aggregate quite
a respectable sum. The opinion that corn is
very nourishing food for fowls is so universal
that no further thought is given to the matter.
Ii any one should suggest that corn would be
easier of digestion if soaked or boiled, he
would very likely receive the answer that corn
was nothing hard to digest for birds, which
swallow stones and other hard substances
without detriment. A moments thought.
however, will convince that the mill-stones
and the grist are very different things, and
feeding hard grain, although not exactly like
feeding the mill-stones with pebbles, bears a
certain likeness to it. The trouble attendant
on the preparation of food, if it is to be cook
ed, may indeed seem very dispreportionate to
the advantage to be derived from such treat
ment, but in reality little time need be spent
as. before going the rounds of the nests. a lit
tie hot water may be poured over the grain. q
tight cover may be put on the kettle, and the
whole placed over the stove, where, by the
time your rounds are completed, the corn will
have become steamed and mellow, and have
lost none of its good qualities. Remember
each hen has certain amount of animal
force to be expended every day in some diree-
tion, and the less she has to give to the di-
gesting her food, the more she will have to be
expended in reproducing. The advantages of
the warm food in Winter, when much food
goes toward producing animal heat to with
stand Che cold, are twofold-from the direct
n nf 4I,r- Al
OF the food itself, to say nothing of the fact
that the content produced by nourishimg
food will result in more eggs, for hen
thoroughly at home will lay many more eggs

q THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Botany For Farmers.

Farmers have but little patience with their
ignorant and unskiled workmen, and were
one of them to insist upon giving some wrong
or unheard-of name to the comm on tools and
implements of the farm, his employer would
regard it as sufficient cause for his dismissal
No class are so ready to ridicule the mistakes
made BY those who are not familiar With the
many things which belong to farm and its
management; and yet many of them are en-
tireiy unacquainted with the name and nat
ure OF the common plants of their fields, and
to use familiar phrase, only know them by
sight. Such ignorance We think should be
regarded as inexcusable. 1t is the principal
business OF the farmer to raise plants from
the soil; and who ef all men upon the earth
should possess or be able to communicate to
others more information respecting them?
Who better than he should be able to distin-
guish the good from the bad, to describe their
properties, TO show the best methods for the
cultivation of the one, and the extirpation of
the other? Granting that farmers may have
general and indefinite knowledge of the
vegetable kingdom, the weight of censure
which rests upon them is mainly on account
Of its inaccuracy and inexactness. A very
loose and uncertain nomenclature is apt to
exist among them not only in relation to
weeds, grasses, and ordinary plants, but also
to field and garden products. At almost every
agricultural exhibition samples of fruit,
grain, or roots belonging to some well-known
or long established variety may be seen bear
ing some other name, dictated by the fancy,
or the ignorance of the exhibitor. Some
towns or neighborhoods also frequently have
botanical vocabularies peculiar to themselves
which have been transmitted from sire to
son without the slightest regard to anything
laid down in the books. Such irregularities
we cannot approve, so long as some standard
Of comparison and control is absolutely essen
tial. Had our language or literature been
subjected to similar lawlessness neither
would to-day have been in existence.
We express, therefore, the opinion that all
farmers, whether educated or not, should
have some knowledge of botany, and this has
been defined to be the science which teaches
us the arrangement of the members of the
vegetable kingdom in certain order or sys.
tenn, by which we are enabled to ascertain
the name ofany individual plant with facility
and precision. Botany, in its most compre-
hensive form. teaches us the name, arrange
ment, parts, functions, qualities and uses of
plants.
We do not thereby assert that it is essen
tial, or even practicable, for adult farmers to
become learned in scientific botany-this
may be left to their sons and should be re-
quired OF them-but they should learn the

Duration of Pine Forests and Timber.
Growing.
IL is not small thing to be treated with
contempt whether forests may or may not be
planted, and the people and Government be
gulltless. Scarcely enough timber for the sup
ply OF the necessities of a generation is left in
this country. According to careful statisti-
cal calculation by the most intelligent lumber
men of the country, there is not an amount
of pine timber now standing in the forests of
the United States sufficient to supply the de-
mands of the market for the next eighteen
years, allowing the ratio of increased con-
sumption to be the same as it has been ia the
last ten years. Therefore immediate and ex-
tensive planting of pine and other varieties of
rapidly-growing timber alone can save the fut-
ure multiplied millions of population from
distressing want. On all our own wide un-
timbered plains and among the hills aud val
leys Of the Atlantic slope, let this work be
done. In very few years timber may be
raised from seed-planting in abundance both
for fuel, lumber and the mechanic arts, and
all the blessings of forest protection enjoyed.
1t was but ten years from my first importa-
tion of European larch plants, then no larger
than goose-quill, that I cut considerable
numbers of fence posts, and in the twelfth
year hundreds, many of them eight to ten
inches in diameter.
My forest at Elgin, ILL.,, encirces and covers
a considerable portion of sixty-fve acres of
land, and has afforded sufficient amount of
fuel for the last ten years for two families.
When it had been planted fifteen years cut
and manufactured into lumber several tons of
the various kinds of wood, namely: European
larch, white pine, white ash and soft maple,
trees having diameter at the stump of from
eight to eighteen inches; which lumber in
corporated with the finishing lumber of my
present residence in this city. This artificial
forest now stands on land which was bare
prairie in 1859. Thus, the planting and rais-
ing of forests to size sufficient to cut into
lumber for building purposes is the work of
only few years. The man of twenty-one
years may plant the seeds of many of the
most valuable varieties of woods, and at sew
enty see stately forests of pine and larch, and
many other varieties, more than one hundred
feet in height, and from two to three feet in
diameter and worth many thousands of dol
lars per acre.-D. C. Schofeld in Ger. Tele-

Of any where disease has its origin in physical

regarded as such is protean typed in its pecuar
ties as are the dreams of the shipwrecked mariner
who, in his struggles for safety, lies down exhausted
for moments sleep upon the wreck upon which he
floats with all the elements of destruction in mad
commotion around him, when the first instincts of
his nature are longing for something solid upon
which he may find standing place.

as the vitality of structure decreases by age,
exertion or too frequent excitement at improper
