unclean mothers suffer from the DAY of
their birth till that of their death. They
are never sprightly and healthy; they
are always the first to be taken down
with the prevailing endemic or epidem-
ic; they, therefore, need a great deal
more care, and, finally, are less profit
able than those which live in clean
houses and lay and sit in tidy nests.
The question as to whether hens will
thrive when shut up, and the sub
sldlary one as to how many may be
confined in a given space, cannot be
answered except, in the experiments,
the hens be kept pure-f0r freedom to
infested fowls is their sole chance of life.
The writer confined from nine to six
teen hens in city enclosure, twenty
by four, $50 SO. # for two years with
out the loss of a hen, and with very lit
tie sickness. The house was six by
four, ventilated at the bottom only and
otherwise closely boarded, securing
warmth in winter and sheltered from
the sun by a grapevine, comparative
GOODNESS in summer. The rest of the
enclosure was lath. From four to six
inches of gravelly sand was given
every two or three weeks and the old
removed. Grass was given as often as
it could be cut from small grass-plot.
Raw meat was given twice a week
Burnt clam shells, ashes and lime were
given as often as convenient, though
not as often as required. The house
was often white Washed-the material
Of the nests frequently changed and the
nests busted with sulphur. They were
fed upon the scrapings of the table
wheat corn, oats. Water was given
daily and oftener during hot weather.
An account was kept of the cost of
these hens for the first year and the
value of their eggs. We have lost this
account, and can only state our i'm
preston that it proved that hens can
be confined and remain healthy, too,
and that they can be made profitable
even in cities.
We suggest to those who have lousy
hens and chickens to part with every
one of them, and to thoroughly cleanse
the houses and yards in every part, and
begin with fresh, pure lot Those
who have had to do with poultry all
their lives may deem this shallow adj
vice; but we know from what we see
that these shiftless, untidy, unkind
modes of keeping fowls are handed
down from father to son, and shat
many farmers do not ever give seri-
Gus thought to persistent cleanliness
Hens will, in a manner, " take care of
themselves" and SO in a large MAORI
ty of cases they are left to do. But
the plan, viewed with an eye to profit,
is ga penny wise and pound foolish"
one, and, viewed with any other eye,
it is cruelty to animals. NeaO

A FILTHY SHAM.
Anything would Bcat Grant Now.

u
We are charged with unseemly levity
who make the accusation have 50 little
to say for themselves and those who
have received their adulation that, as IT,
is necessity Of their habit and occupa-
ton to say something, they look about
them and recklessly fling accusa-
tions They assume that we rejoice in
the humiliation OF the President and
the degradation OF the, country,
and turning upon themselves, de-
clare the President still an ex-
ample OF righteousness and political
excellence and executive wisdom; and
they go on to say that our conduct. nm
der the circumstances, is a part OF our
systematic anything to beat Grant. !"
We have to say upon this, that we think
anything would beat Grant now. This
Belknap business has produced a pain
full sensation, but it should not have
surprised anybody who would not be as
tonished TO flnF an apple on an apple
tree. As to the buniliaticn Of the coun-
try under GralA8 administration, we re-
allied that lonRuago, and we have for
years sought to form an intelligent and
indignant public opinion that would
check the tendency to utter demoraliza-
ton that we saw and denounced. But
Grant has had such rings OF fiatterers,
as well as thieves, about him, that he
has not been accessible. II the Repub-
lican papers, instead OF excusiDg and
applauding his amazing exhibition Of
selflshness and greediness, which was
associated with unparalleled neglect OF
public business and indifference TO the
opinions Of all who were not forever
shouting hail to the chief" this crown
ing shame, and the horrors that are to
come, might have been avoided. Wen
asked Grant to do anything except to
mind his own business, which was the
business Of the country; and when, In
the days OF his power, we saw him
crowding his worthless relatives and dis
reputable cronies into Office, and look
ing upon the country as the property OF
himself and his favorites, and upon the
Presidency as a place OF perquisites and
dead head facilities for having. Q good
time, we have spoken freely and bitterly
and constantly on the subject. We have
pointed out, q thousand times, the in
evitable end Of the intOlerable system
OF this et-headed military chieftain,
spoiled by wonderful fortune, and
fated to warn the republic forever of
the peril OF placing In the Chief Magis
tracy men OF exclusively military his
tory; and now, when the catastrophe
comes, we are reprOached because we
are not found blubber1nR over an I'M
expected" calamity. Our grief was in
deed discounted good while ago. The
temperature Of our woe is also reduced
by lively anticipation Of disasters to
come. The Belknap scandal 10 Q sample

Mr.. Charles Nordhoff is the RESPONSE
BILE Washington correspondent or the
New York Herald, and, as Is well known
in this community, is incapable Of I'M
truthfulness. He publishes the White
House story OF the acceptance OF Bel,
knap's resignation. The President had
an engagement to sit to a portrait
painter, the likenesses that exist evil
IDENTIFY being Unsatisfactory and very
scarce. and proposed to devote two hours
OF his valuable time to that high
public duty. While breakfasting, pre-.
pairing for his labor, he was disturbed
by Bristow, who told him the bad news,
and urged that he should send for the
Republican members OF the Committee
Of Investigation and ascertain the full
particulars. It never occurred to
Grant to postpone the portrait
painting business. It was OF the
first Importance, OF course, TO see
to the transmission OF his express
sive features to the grateful generations
to come. Bristow passed away, and the
next call was by Belknap, in company
with Chandler, and Grant summoned a
clerk and had him prepare at once an
acceptance Of the honorable Secretary s
exemplary resignation. The clerk did
not write the acceptance In satisfactory
terms. We suppose he must have omit
ted the expression of "regret." Babcock
could not have been the clerk in the
case. or he would have wept enough In
his ink to have answered the purpose:
The President was in a hurry. He had
to 20 out and get his picture painted,
and this little Cabinet difficulty must be
promptly disposed Of. SO the impetu.
GUS Chief Magistrate rushed up to the
mantelpiece and wrote his regrets ana
acceptance. That portrait painter
should enlarge his canvas, and give US
the President writing his acceptance OF
the resignation Of his great War Secre-
tary on the neutrality-suspicious.. Com.
