TIE CARE OF CHICKENs.

A correspondent Of the Country Gen.
tIeH1aR- gives the following excellent di-
rections for the management Of young
chickens, which We commend TO the at
tention Of the readers Of the UNION
AND AMERICAN:
Last year l raised seven hun.
dred chickens very successfully.
losing very few. To prevent
chickens from getting lousy, I dust the
hen and nest at the time Of setting
and again IN ten days afterwards, thor
oughly with sulphur. This viii keep
lice from the hen, and when the Young
chickens are two days old I grease their
heads with a mixture Of one part sui
phur TO three Of lard. and repeat this
II any lice appear afterwards. I feed
sulphur twice a weea IN their feed,
about oneOnnce to two quarts Ofmeal. I
always use small yards to raise chick
ems IN, and never allow the grass TO get
tall enough to wet their bodies. One
hundred IN each yard Is enough. I
shut each hen and brood IL her coop
for three or four days, and then let her
have the whole yard. The chickens in
each yard all eat together after they
are allowed to run, and this saves con
siderable time. The hen should run
with her chickens about seven weeks.
do not make the chicken yards and
cOOps rat proof, unless rats are plenty,
for the broods need the fresh air.
Insects have become so very trouble
some IN the South and West, that we
should give more care and time to
the breeding and management Of
poultry.

HOW 10 s1AKE HODGE-PODGE

a correspondent Of the London Agri.

following recipe for making the cele-
brated hodge-podge Tor "hotch.
poJch"J:
Cut and rim into neat pieces 5 lbs. of
neck Of mutton; put on IN 3 quarts Of
hot water, boil up and skim. Then add
l quart Of carrots cut into slices, the
same of turnips and parsnips mixed;
half that quantity Of minced onions,
the same Of cabbage lcauliAewer Is bet
ter and quart of green peas, and let
eli simmer together gently for two
hours. Then add another quart Of peas
and simmer for a half hour longer. If
the water has wasted much, a pint or
so may be added when the last peas are
put IN; and the goodness Of the dish
viii much depend on the vegetables
being all fresh, Young and tender.

WINTER ILILLED WHEAT

The Department Of Agriculture re-
port for April makes the loss Of wheat
BY winter killing IN Michigan 80 per
cent, Ohio 63, Kentucky ~, Indiana
40, Illinois so, Missouri 81, and Kan.
sas % per cent. Replanting 10 osher
crops varies in the States named from
1 to q per cent. Of the area sown last
fall averaging IA Per cent. The aver
age loss in the Western States is 81
per cent-more than 10000. 900 bushels
less than last year IN these States,
which then threshed over Us. 600. 900.
1t is probable that the first state.
ments sent to the Department from the
Northwestern States were much exag-
gerated. The loss sustained by our
near neighbor, Kentucky, is set down
at A per cent, If It is one-fourth of
the crop it is much more than Tennes-
see has suffered by winter killing of
wheat. These wheat returns tell
strongly IN favor Of our agricultural
and bealthful climate.

FINANCIAL

Business with the banks appears to be
getting duller than ever, and it is about the
same with the brokers. There is but a
moderate demand for loans, and charges
are unchanged.
Exchange on New York is scarce and in
demand. The banks buy at par aud sell al
y per thousand premium,
Gold IS lower, closing in New York at
ll6. For the small lots offered here dealers
pay ia, while they hold at 11G, Silver is
taken at lOG for halves and quarters.
Tennessee bonds are quoted in New York
at jOdJO5. They would bring about the
same in this market.
COmptrOller's warrants are very dull and
are IN but little demand by taxpayers.
Dealers pay 80 and sell at %. The new
treasury notes are bought and sold the same
as ordinary warrants.
Our local stocks and bonds are all very
dull and we seldom hear of any transac-
tiOns. For quotations We refer to those
given by the Nashville Savings Company,
corner Union and College streets.

the air, the rate of temperature and Of
evaporation.
AT the distance Of only 500 metres
from the forest, at the same distance
above the ground as in the former case,
were placed similar instruments under
similar conditions. With regard to
rainfall, the results Of six months OBJ
servation during February, March,
April, May, June and July, we're
1880 in the forest to 1900 in the
open field. Allowing the difference to
continue the same during the other six
months, the woods viii receive about l6
per cent. more rain IN a year than the
cleared land. The degree Of saturatiOn
Of the air was Is per cent. in favor Of
the forest, being prOportionably much
less than the precipitation.
These observations are still made
daily by officers paid by Government,
and are understood to affirm that for
est5 constituted vast condensing appa-
ratus, exceedingly favorable to ag.
riculture, to the growing Of timber, OF
many nuts and fruits, mulberry leaves
for silk-worms, and other branches Of
domestic industry. In Tennessee and
the South generally, where land is
cheap and abundant for woods, pas
lures, beautiful lawns, all timber and
stock-growing purposes, this matter of
rainfall and perennial growth has pc
culiar interest. Perennial grasses and
trees Should be carefully studied.
No machinery can give Great Britain
or Europe the agricultural climate that
we possess, nor one that IS more than
half as good, all things fairly consid.
cred. London gets less than half the
fall Of rain in twelve months that Nash
vile receives. At some future day,
perhaps not remote, an agricultural
temperature which is more than twice
that of London Will command the utili-
zation Of all our rain in Middle Ten
nessee.

RAINFALL, FORESTS AND AGRI-
CULTURE.

AlLlt kEs
The fall and the distribution Of rain
in different months Of spring, summer,
autumn and winter, and the quantity
precipitatcd, are elements Of great I'M
portance in practical agriculture. For
forty years meteorologists have been
disputing as to the influence Of forests
both as means Of evaporating an in
creased quantity Of water from the soil
through the agency of their myriads
of leaves, exposing also an immense
surface, as a condensing apparatus, cool
ing the surrounding air, and precipi-
tatiug much moisture as dew and rain.
Do forests, or trees in bluegrass and
other pastures ou tire whole add to the
water in the ground near them. or d.
minish IT as compared With no trees:
Ia France this question has excited a
great deal Of interest, and a receut
communication to the French Academy
of Sciences, giving the details Of cx-
pcriments, published IN Comics BeHdus
present new facts of general interest.
Observations were made IN the heart
Of the forests of Hallatte, which en-
braces 5000 hectares Of land. At the
