his respects TO the commodore. As an evidence
of the truth of this, after taking leave of the
genial Stevens, and as we were passing out of the

saying, "GOd bless the Marines

Raising Poultry.

But few persons stop to think of the
great wealth there is in poultry-the
amount of food both in the fowl and the
eggs Let US figure: A black Spanish her
will lay 220 eggs annually; three dozen
hens would then lay 1920 eggs, or geo doz.
en-. At 25 cents dozen they would bring
$195. One bushel of grain will keep ca ch
fowl year. when not allowed to run at
large. Deduct, then, $50 (this is based on
the presumption that their ROSTERS will be
kept), and we haye, clear, $l26. A COM
mon neu win 10y 1 20 .sse per year, which
Ut the same price, would be $1O5. Deduct
tho sar expense for feed, and we have
$66. SO we see that BY keeping th=
thoroughbred Black Spanish We make
t60. Blood will tell. But, as rule, when
the farmer keeps but few fowls, they are
allowed to roam at large, and therefore
gather up most Of their food from that
which would otherwise go to waste. In
the late fall, winter and early spring We
would advise for food, once each day,
wheat or barley boiled in dishwater and
given the fowls just before going to roost.

Feculiarities Of Henry Clay

% to him whenever he spoke. He wa.
everybodys pet. No man has ever had
such adulation since. No man hiss ever
got habitually such splendid and brilliau,
audiences as he Those were days OF good
debate, when the press had not gained SO
much prestige-before oratory had given
way 10 Congress to the reporters. There
were no holes in the sky then, and you
could not pick an orator, like q bubble,
with witty sarcasm. Clay never disap-
pointed-he would not have dared. But
no dared things that no other man then or
now would dare At the end of brillisnt
passage he would pause deliberately, and
