How Fowls are Fattened.

A correspondent describes a new in
vention carried on to some extent by
chicken raisers, making what they call
"patent fed fowl" The process is
French, and the results achieved are
amazing. To say that tough old fowl
that has done laying can be made, in an
exceedingly short time, something like
spring chicken, with the additional ad-
vantage of being thrice as large, is to
give only faint notion of what the
"patent feeding" will do. But it is a
fact that the oldest and most unpromis-
ing duck on the farm can, in almost
three weeks, be made, to all intents and
purposes, tender young canvas back.
Or if black duck is preferred, the
transformation is equally simple; in
short, any kind Of favor, including that
of fish, can be impaired to the bird.
For the present, however, the proprie-
tor contents himself with making young
fowls of old fowls. The process is a strict
imitation of the way in which the ''squab"
or young pigeon is fed by the mother /;
digestion is, as far as possible, dispensed
with, or rather the food is first digested
and afterward given to the bird under
treatment, so that the latter has nothing
to do but grow fat and tender.
On the farm all the patented fowls
are confined in small wooden boxes,
their legs strapped to their aides, and
their heads and neck protruding. Every
box holds one fowl, and the feeder,
taking them in turns, puts q brass pipe
five inches long down their threats.
20 kt,n ~
elastic tube, the other end of which con-
meets with small portable hand pump,
communicating with vessel containing
the food upon which the fowls are fed.
This is boiled and pounded, so as to be
virtually digested. It is of the most
nutritious kind, being chiefly OF barley,
Indian meal, and new milk with the
cream undisturbed. A duck may be fed
upon mashed celery for three weeks,
and its weight will be doubled, and it
will have all the favor of a canvas back.
Having inserted the brass pipe down
fowls throat, the keeper gently turns
the handle OF the pump, and the digest
ed food enters the craw without any ef-
fort on the part of the bird. That the

No force is used in giving them the food,
nor is it necessary, for when they see
the feeder approaching they open their
mouths to their utmost capacity, throw.
their heads back, and close their eyes,
evidently in dreamy rapture. This is
especially noticeable Of the ducks.
When q step is heard in the passage
leading to their boxes they expand their
bills as far as nature will permit, with
out waiting to see whether it is the feed
er or not. Young fowls by this process
can, in three weeks, be made far fatter
than in as many months in the natural
way. In the same length of time two
pounds eau be added to the weight of
an old hen, or in other words, she can
be made about twice as fat as she was
before, and the newly acquired flesh is
MS white and tender as that of spring

THE FRYER PROCESS.

So much interest has been manifest ed
in the Fryer; process OF working ores,
and 80 much anxiety to learn the details,
that we take pleasure in presenting to
our readers this week q detailed des-
criptiou and engraving OF the furnace
used in the preliminary stages of the
process. This will be followed in due
time by full description OF the whole
method. with illustrations showing the
details Of the other machinery. all Of

has heretofore been in use. The publ.

sequence OF the false impression con.
veyed BY the publication Of what pur.
ports to be an abstract OF Fryer's first
patent. We corrected this erroneous
impression in our last issue. and thosa
interested can be convinced by examin-
ing the boxes OF ore in the different
stages OF the process now at our editor.
ial rooms.
In order that our readers may learn
what Mr.. Fryer claims, We give in fuli
the following description, precisely as
prepared for tho specification for foreion
patents. being little different from the
American patent in detail.
The object of this invention ia mora
especially to facilitate and reduce the
cost of the extraction OF the cold and
silver which is contained in quartz. but
It may also be applied to the separstion
OF the noble metals from other ores in
which they may be contained with the
base metals. Ae
The invention consists in a furnace NJ
upright cylindrical form, which has a
double wall or shell Of boiler plate or
other iron for containing water and
steam, and suspended invertible or "a.
movable bottom, and has in its upner
part cone, around which the cassous
products of combustion in the furnace
may escape to stack above. and mon

provided around its removable or inyerti-
lie bottom, for the combustion Of the
fuel and the oxidation of the oXidizable
portions Of the ore; and this supply Of
air il or may be increased by the steam
which is generated by the heat Of the
interior Of the furnace from the water in
its double shell, and introduced in jets
to the stack to act as a blower, water
also serving to prevent the rapid burning
or oxidation Of the inner shell or wall Of
the furnace. The suspended removable
or invertible bottom serves TO permit the
rapid discharge Of the contents of the
furnace after the roasting has been COM
pleted. By the roasting process in this
furnace thu noble metals are to such an
extent separated from the mineral matters
and the base metals which are oxidized
by the roasting process. that their com.
plete separation may be easily effected
by pulverizstion and subsequent amalga-
nation. the ore having been brought to
such condition. by the roasting process

ROAST 'PossUM.-A friend living in
Tennessee has promised to send Us a
