Eighteen hundred and seventy. sig is the
Centennial year. 1t is also the year in
which an Opposition House of Representa-
tives, the first since the war, will be in

CHARCOAL FOR PoULTRY.-The benefit
which fowls derive from charcoal is, /
believe, acknowledged. The method OF
putting it before them is, however, not
well understood. Powdered charcoal is
not in the shape in which fowls usually
find their food, and consequently is not
very enticing to them. l have found
that corn burnt on the cob, aud the re-
fuse-which consists almost entirely
of the grains reduced to charcoal, and
still retaining their perfect shape-plac-
ed before them is greedily eaten by them
with a marked improvement in their
health, as is shown by the brighter color
of their combs, and their sooner produc.
ing greater average of eggs to the
flock than before.-.S. Rufus Mason IN
Poultry World.
