Boiled Corn for Poultry

An English agricultural paper has
n very sensible article on breeding.
feeding, and other care q: poultry,
which we should be glad to copy did
space permit. Experience has PROV
ed the wisdom Of the following sag-
gestions:
If any one should suggest that
corn would he easier Of digestion If
soaked or boiled, he would very like.
~ receive the answer that corn was
nothing hard to digest for birds,
which swallow stones and other hard
substances Without dctrimcnt. A
moments thought, however, will con.
vince that the mill-stoncs and the
grIst arc very different things, and
feeding hard grain, although not
exactly like feeding the miIlstoncs
with pebbles, bears q certain likeness
to it. The trouble attendant upon
the preparation Of food, if it is to be
cooked, may indeed seem very dis.
appropriate to the advantage 10 be
deprived from such treatment, but in
realty little time need he spent, as
before going the rounds Of the nests,
- little hot water may be poured over
the grain, n tight cover put on the
Kettle, and the whole placed over the
stove, where by the time your round.
are completed, the corn will have be-
come steamed and mellow, and have
lost none of its good qualities. Re-
member each hen has a certain
amount of animal force to be cxpend-
ed every day in some direction, and
the less she has to give to digesting
her food, the more she will have to
lie expended i'll egg g-producing.

about marriage as though it was Il

out Il thorn. And so il is, if it is all
right-if they so about it us rational

1t is n life business. Therefore, never
do It Ill haste; never run away to get
married; never marry for wcall, or
standing, or fine person, or manners,
but for character, for worth, for the
qualities ofthc mind and heart which
make ali honorable man. Take time;
think long and well before you acccp /
any proposal; consult your parents,

own judgment. Learn all that is
possible for you to learn or your pro
posed husband. When MI doubts
have been removed, and not Till then,

extreme penalty, and being person
