AGRICULTURAL.
The Improved Poultry,

tuo iutpTONtu tVuiut'
II is now pretty generally admitted bv
most western farmers that the improved
poultry pays as well in proportion as the inn
proved breeds of hogs and sheep that is on
general principles. OF course the great
mass of poultry is raised and sold by the
farmers. The carloads of poultry and eggs
shipped from all over the West come from
the farmers, and since the introduction of
the improved breeds the supply is rapidly
increasing farmer can longer afford to
raise the common chickens If you cant
have all full boods, get thoroughbred
rooster, either Cochin or Brahma, and you
will be so well pleased with the cross that
you will soon work into full bloods. They
mature quicker. grow larger, sell for more
money, lay more eggs, but require little
more care. With warm, clean, comfortable
| quarters, a variety of food, not too much
corn, and eggs may be had all winter.
Enterprising farmers who have not already
got the improved breeds of poultry on their
farms, at present, should now prepare suita-
BILE quarters for few of these popular and
profitable pets, for you will be sure to get
the poultry fever if you attend the fall fairs;
but when you get the improved breeds, don't
try to get fancy prices unless you propose
going into it, and take five or ten years to
learn how to breed them successfully, and
get reputation as an experienced breeder.
It will pay better to leave that alone to the
professional breeders, but, as farmers, raise
poultry AMI eggs to sell. But you don't
like to kill these fine chickens; only keep
out of them the best for breeding, and sell
them just as you did the others and you
will find it will pay you one per cent. better
to raise improved breeds of poultry for mar
ket than the old barn-yard variety.

CosT OF PRoDUCTIoN.-Farmers are gen.
orally beginning to realize that this is the
great pivotal question on which their sue
cess or failure most depends. Until quite
recently the importance of this subject has
been mparatively overlooked, and there is
even now scarcely one farmer in fifty who
can tell with any accuracy or certainty what
his cereals when harvested have cost per
bushel, or what his poultry, beef, mutton
and pork have cost per pound. For this
slovenly mode of husbandry there is neither
necessity nor excuse, and there is probably
no other legitimate business wherein such
indifference to the main question would be
considered possible.
1t is very certain that farmers will here
after find it necessary to make point of
ascertaining the actual cost per bushel of
their wheat and corn. Whenever they do
this they will be surprised to find that in
the very act of doing it they are already
reducing the cost. One reason why these
products have hitherto cost too much is be-
cause nobody seems to know how much they
do cost. Examination sheds light, and light
dispels ignorance. Then let the discussion
of this subject go forward. 1t is evident
that farmers have struck the key note that is
to inaugurate new era in their calling.
After a careful study of the subject for sew
eral years, and as the result Of some exper
ience and observation, we are confident
there is point in the cost of production
lower than any yet reached in this country,
and which lies practically within the reach
of maj ority of farmers. 1t would be easy
to show that the present average cost of
production for the whole country might be
reduced in the present state at least ten per
cant

PRUNING.-This is generally supposed to
be the pruning season. Orchard trees gener-
ally get too much pruning. In young trees
only thin out so as not TO have the main
leaders crossing or interfering with one
smother. Or when few shoots grow much
stronger than the rest cut these away. In
sist on all the branches in young trees grow
ing only on a perfect equality. On older
trees which have been bearing a number of
years it will often benefit TO cut OF large
portion of the bearing limbs by long
series of bearings, branches will often get
barkel around and stunted, preventing the
free passage of the sap which seems to revenge
itself by forcing out vigorous shoots a long
way down from the top of the tree. II is
down to the vigorous shoots that we would
cut the bearing branches away. One must
use his own judgment as to the adyisability
of this. II the tree bears us fine and lus-
cious fruit as ever, of course no such severe
work need be done, but ii not, now is the
time-Jeuraal Of Agyieslurs.

MAXIMs FOR FARMERs.-It is worth
while for all farmers everywhere to remem-
Der that thorough culture is better than
three mortgages on their farm.
That an offensive war against weeds is
five times less expensive than defensive
one.
That good fences always pay better than
lawsuits with neighbors.
That hay is great deal cheaper made in
summer tn an purchased in winter.
That more stock perish from famine than
founder.
That horse who lays his ears back, and
looks lightning when anyone approaches
him, is vicious. Don't buy him.
That scrimping the feed Of fattening hogs
is waste of grain.
That overfed hens won't lay eggs.
That educating children properly is mon
ey lent at 100 per cent.
That one evening spent at home in study
is more profitable than ten lounging about
country tayerns.

have noticed great difference between
the treatment that farmers give their cattle
when they go in at an open door upon the
barn-hoor, where they are not wanted. 1t is
natural for animals to be looking out for
something good to eat, and we cannot ex-
pect them to show more judgment than we
do, and not go in at an open door, when we
have not order enough to shut it. One man
will take pitchfork, perhaps, and run for
the animal with yell, frighten it badly, and
strike it with the fork or club, perhaps
cause it to slip on the ice at the door, lame
or seriously injure it. The farmer in this
case is not only injuring his own property
but is cultivating bad temper, which is
worse than the injury to the animal. / have
seen others, in such case, treat the animal
kindly, Gail it out with gentle voice, and
having nothing to fear, it obeys without ex'
pecting a pounding. Our domestic animals
are given TO us for our good, and we should
treat them with the same kindness that We
should wish from superior to us. Some
managers of animals appear nearly as bru
tai as the animals they rule over. The farm
er whose cattle pay the best profit look
carefully to all their wants, and is neve
cruel even to his brutes.-Er.

PLANT WHITE CoRN,-Gentlemep who
have during the present season purchased
some 10000 barrels of corn in this county,
urge upon us the propriety of advising the
farmers to plant white corn. They say it is
not only worth more in the market, but will
yield 15 per cent more than yellow corn.
yellow corn, they say, contains about four
teen pounds of cob to the bushel while
white will average but little over twelve
pounds They are satisfied that the yield is
richer and the cultivation more profitable.
The information is valuable to farmers just
now, as corn planting time is near at hand,
AVID it would be we'll for them to avail them
selves of it,-Egehaage.

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the folicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

anniversary Of the birth Of Mans Re-
deemer, is acknowledged and celebrated.
IL all the world, too. its observation is
Of the same nature and character. L.
is everywhere regarded as time Of JOY
and gladness. and Of rest from the cares
and labors Of everyday life. All bus'-
ness is suspended the merchant closes
his store, the manufacturer bis shops,
the lawyer his Office; the politician, for
the time. ceases his plottings; Senates
and parliaments adjourn; schools are
closed and the children, freed from oil
restraint, are left to enjoy the day
according to their own incIinations
High and low. rich and poor. old and
young-all people Of both sexes and all
colors and lauguages-join in the cele-
bration Of this one grand. universal
holiday. Christmas is the time for
family reunions, when the members Of the
household perhaps separated oil the rest
Of the year meet under the old homestead
roof. II is time fer giving and re-
ceiving presents and tokens Of regard
and esteem. It is time Of peace. and
men who have been enemies. mayhap
for years, meeting ON that day, are
made friends to each other. Il is
time Of charity, and even the closest
and most miserly Of men will opsn his
purse and bestow something toward the
alleviation Of the suferings Of bis less

spirit Of Evil seems to be banished and
