The Missouhian, in summing up the adj
vantages of Missoula county, concludes his
article with the following:
The prospects of Missoula county were
never brighter than to-day. Men ought to
be making money here, and should continue
to do SO as long as there is population in the
Territory. The present population of the
Territory is as small as it will ever get. We
have ~undoubted esource that will support
a greater number than We now have, and in
better shape than many other parts of the
United States where people are now living.
Let any man who is dissatisfied with the
situation commence diligently to inquire
where he can 60 to better himself, and he
will feel like taking hold here with renewed
courage. And he will feel, too, like taking
hold to beautify and make a desirable home
here, n for the improvement and eleya-
ton OF the society in which he moves, and
for the decrease of the burdens which stand
IN the way of public prosperity. We must
learn to live more economically as a people
and as a civil government until we have
passed the era of depression which now
everywhere exists,

MAY 10th, the day fixed for the opening Of
the Centennial Exhibition, was a holiday III
Pennsylvania. Flags in great profusion
were floating over Philadelphia, and business
was GENERALLY suspended. The doors OF
the exhibition were opened promptly at9
o'clock A. NJ. and an immense thronG crowd
ed the several entrances for hours. The tor
eign commissioners and other distinguished
guests were seated, their entrance being Ell
fected through the main exhibition building
which remained closed to the public until
noon The ceremonies opened at 1915 sharp.
It was estimated that there were $4,000 peo-
pie upon the ground at that time, While q
vast sea of human beings crowded the gates.
Every available spot near the grand stand
was occupied before the opening ceremonies
commenced. At 1890 Dom Pedro arrived
and was escorted to his seat by Gen. HaN-
ley, and at 1895 Gen. Phil Sheridan and wife,
closely followed by Hon. J. G.. Blaine, Sen
ator Jones and wife, of Nevada, passed over
from the building to stand in front OF memo
rial hall during the rendition of the nation
al airs. The Emperor of Brazil and party

the President was conducted to his seat on
the front of the platform. Gov. Hartrandft,
Gen. Hawley and Hon. D. J. Morrill, occu-
pied seats to the left, while Messrs. John
Welch and erosion were on the right. Fred
Douglas also made his appearance at this
time. At,11:30 it was estimated that there
We're 100, 900 people on the ground. At this
time Wagner's Centennial inaugural march
was performed, and prayer was offered by
Bishop Simpson, After which Whittier's
hymn was sung with grand effect. Then
came the address of Mr.. Welch, which was
followed by Lanier's cantata. After this
an address was delivered by Gen. Hawley,
turning the Exhibition over to the President
of the United States, which was responded
to by President Grant, closing with the dec
aration that the Exhibition was open.

ABOUT GROUND-sQUIRRELs.

M. Editor: Having observed an article
with the above caption in the Willamette
Farmer, of the 18th ult., asking in regard to
the peculiarities of these annoying little ami
mails and the best method of disposing of
them, / thought that, though late in the
season for carrying it into practice, what ex-
perience [ have had with them may be of
some benefit to those who are troublad with
these pests. In regard to their habits | can
say utlittle, exceptthat they have a "habit'
of destroying-a large amount Of vegetation
of almost any description in a short space Of
time, especially of grain.
TO destroy them, / take wheat bran and
shorts together and make a stiff dough of it.
Then I take strychnine and, if crystalizet,
pulyerize it and sprinkle it very thinly over
the dough, then cut it in small squares and
put them in the mouths of the holes. If you
have poultry or animals that would be like
ly to get this dough, it is a good plan to put
it down in the holes out of their reach.
March and April is the best time to destroy
these squirrels, as after that time they have
their young, which materially increases the
number to work on. S.

THE POULTRY YARD.
FATTENING W

A writer in a late number of the London
(England) Field states that poultry proper
ly ted will acquire all the fairness needed to
prepare them for the purpose Of marketing,
in a fortnight or three weeks at most. de
says:
Their diet should be Indian, oat, or bar
ley meal, soalded III milk or watcr-the
former is the best, as it expedites the fatten-
ing process. They should be fed early in
the morning, at noon, and also in the even
ing, just before going to to roost, and given
a plentiful supply of pure, fresh water,
plenty OF gravel, sliced cabbage or turnip
tops.
1.-THE fowls are required to be very fat,
some trimmings of fresh mutton suet may
be chopped and scalded with their other
feed, or they may be boiled in milk alone
and poured over the meal. This renders
the flesh firmer than it otherwise would be.
When fit to kill, the feeding should be
stopped for twelve hours or more, so that
the intestines may become comparatively
empty.

ORIGIN OF THE DIFFERENT BREEDS OF
DOMESTIC FOWLS.

Vh1UlN UE The UlEEEkENI EAEEDS UF
DOMESTIC FOWLS.
1t is well known that different countries
have their peculiar breeds, which generally
take their names from the places they inhab-
it, or from which they We're imported, or
from some peculiar a%ppendage, formation or
characteristic of them; as the Dorkings,
from Dorking in England. Houdains, from
Houdain, in France. Black Spanish, or, as
they are misunderstanding layers-from
Spain. Polands, from Poland. ~Shanghais,
from Shanghai, in China. Buff and Part
ridge Cochin Chinas, from Cochin China.
The Siberian or Russian fowls, from Russia.
Malays or C~hittagongs from the Malay Is
lands. Javas, from the Island of Java.
Columbians, from Columbia, in South
Ameica. Barbarys, from Barbary. Dutch
fowls, or everyday layers from Holland-so
named from their persistency In laying and
disinclination to set. The Bolton bays and
grays, from Bolton, England the former
known also as Chitteprats or Moonies. Sus-
sex fowls, from Sussex county, in England.
Guelders, from the province Of Guelder-
land, in Holland, and from Belgium. The
fI1zzled fowls from Java and Eastern Asia.
The Shakebag, sometimes called Shakbag,
or Duke of Leeds fowl-a large parti-col-
ord fowl with a black crest, supposed to be
a cross with a game fowl. They were cele-
brated fighters, and were carried in bags to
c~ock-pits, where their owners shook the bag

of other fighting fowls, and hence they were
nicknamed Shakebags. The negro fowl,
from Acknowledgements for its black
comb, wattles, skin, bones and feathers,
though the flesh is white and tender, but be-
ing ungainly in appearance, and without
profitable qualities, a cross between it and
other fowl is deteriorating, and hence they
are not desirable inmates in the poultry
yard. The barn-yard or dunghill fowls, are
the offspring of promiscuons crossings OF
the Malay, Dorking, Poland, Spanish and
other fowls. DR.. Bechstein enumerated
eight distinct varieties of them, viz: Small
