Poultry-K0eping By BOYS.


1t is one Of the most promising in
dications of character when a boy
shows a dispositions to earn something
This desire to hold something in fee
simple is the very opposite of tramp
ism. Among boys. the enjoyment OF
owning, buying and selling, is very
keen, and is often gratifed in the get
ting Of knives, old watches and trink-
cts, and making exchanges with each
other. Who does not remember the
wonderful dicker and trade of his boy
hood? 1t was only the beginning of a
development, or rather, a self-ed1ca-
ton. This matter should not be per
mitted to go without some guidance.
Parents and guardians should take an
interest in it,not exercising a meddling
interference, but inspiring confidence,
SO as to be able to cooperate, plan and
watch the results.
Now comes a scheme that is just
right. How can we teach boy bust
ness habits better than by giving him
an opportunity to ''run" a hennery !?
The accounts must be accurately kept;
there must be buying and selling;
there must be bantering; there must
be profit! A miniature business springs
up; and, inasmuch as it is real, why is
it not as good as a business college :?
1t may be better; for it may prevent
spending time in the streets, or away
from home, perhaps among questiona-
bic companions. "A love Of home is
fostered by the ownership of flowers,
small fruits and poultry. A fondness
for the finest things produced in our

with here and there a little job Of

They may learn when and where to

The veteran Magazine, which long
ago outgrew its original title Of the
Nea0 MopthJg magazine, has not in the
least abated the popularity it won at
the outset, but has added to it in many
ways, and has kept fairly abreast of
the times, thanks to the enterprise Of
the publishers and the tact and wisdom
of its editors. For whatever is best
and most readable in the literature of
travel, discovery, and fiction, the av-

ity. Poultry World.

Twas in the drear November that we met.
Dead leaves down-rust1ed and the earth was wet
With farewell tears the mourning autumn shed,
For all her lovely children--cOld and dead.
But early youth and buoyant hopes were ours,
Which clothed the suIlen day in summer flowers.
They swept all discord from the moaning breeze,
Which played among the fragrant forest trees.
Wemet by chance?- did that subtle fate
Whose prophecies we ever read too late,
Trace DER our future lives with gentle care,
Two narrow paths which merged together there.
We cannot tell only know we met,
That fearful, autumn day, when earth was wet.
[ only know the hours were swift and sweet
For Time had velyet-s hod his flying feet
So, White-haired winter, with her chilling breath
Sent brown November to its cruel death.
Upon his cold cheek cleaned frozen tear
The first, white snow drop of the new born year
We parted in the spring time, soft and dank,
When vernal lips the feeting snow-drops drank
When vanished buds were bursting on the trees
Which held the echo Of the winter breeze.
And then he wrote q have those letters yet),
The past, Ae said, he never could forget.
His words Of love, so ardent, boyish, free,
Tho fond, were careless, then it seemed to me.
And Sc, three swiftly changing years had fed
And thrice. the autumn trees their gold had shed
And yet these friendship tokens passed between
TO keep our memories still freshly green.
He loved me as no other ever viii.
And days, the while, were creeping, creeping
still,
Iheld that love too lightly in my clasp,
And careless, let it slip from out my grasp.
Forgive me God I always meant to be
AS true as he could ever be to me,
But nearer loves crept in between our souls.
We tire of reaching to the far-of goals.
[ th0't him as incOnstant as his sex,
Nor dreamed of broken faith and life -Iongwrecks
A cloud came DER the beauty of his mind,
And warped his nature, once so pure and kind.
Too late, learned what had rashly lost.
Too late, I counted all the bitter cost.
Now, in the autumn, when the earth is wet,
My life is Swallowed by fond regret.

a Lesson for Mothers.

Mother" said a little girl, does
God ever scold p She had seen her
mother under circumstances of strong
proyocation, lose her temper, and give
way to the impulse of passion; and
bordering thoughtfully for a moment,
she asked, "Mother, does God ever
scold?"
The question was so abrupt and
startling that it arrested the mothers
attention almost with shock, and she
asked, Why, my child what makes
you ask that question ?"
Because, mother, you have always
told me that God is good, and that we
should try to be like Him; and I
should like to know if He ever scolds.
''No, my child, of course not
"Well, I'm glad He don't; for scold-
ing always hurts me, even if feel |
have done wrong, and it don't seem to
me that could love God very much if
he scOlded."
The mother felt rebuked before her
simple child. Never before had she
heard so f0rcible a lecture on the evils
Of scolding. The words of the child
sank deep into her heart, and she turn
ed away from the Innocent face Of her
little one to hide the tears that gath
cred to her eyes. Children are quick
observers; and the child seeing the eff
feet Of her words, eagerly inquired;
Why do you cry, mother; was it
naughty for me to say what / said p
ono, my love; it was all right. I
was only thinking that I might have
spoken more kindly and not have hurt
your feelings by speaking SO hastily
and in anger, as [ did"
0 mother, you are good and kind
only I wish there were not 50 many
bad things to make you fret and talk
as you did just now. 1t makes me feel
away FROM you, SO far, as if l could
not come near to you, as do when you
speak kindly; and oh, sometimes I fear
| [ shall be put off SO far / can never get
back again!'
No, my child, don't say that" said
the mother, unable to keep back hel
tears, as she felt how her tones had
repealed her little one from her heart
and the child, wondering what SO af-
/ ICCCCN+ AACL E)GtLCI1US D4U 1AOu4OINCIy LOCI
ing it was a case requiring sympathy
reached up, and throwing her arms
about her mothers neck, whispered:
Mother dear mother, do / make
you cry? DO you love me?
Oh, yes! / love you more than ]
can tell, said the parent, clasping the
little one to her bosom; and | will
try never to scold again, but if have
to reprove my child, will try to do il
not in anger, but kindly, deeply as ]
may be grieved that she has done
wrong"
"Ol, I am SO glad; I can get 50 near
to you if you don't scold; and do you
know, mother, I want to love you SC
much, and | will try always to be
good"
The lesson was one that sank deer
in that mothers heart; and has been
an aid to her for many year. It i'm
pressed the great principle of reprov-
ing in kindness, not in anger, if we
would gain the great end of reproof-
the great end of winning the child at
the same time to what is right, and to
the parents heart.

Cultivate Family Affection.

I can imagine no condition that car
ries, with it such q promise OF JOY as
the farmer in the autumn; with cellar
full, with every preparation made for
the Winter, with the prospect of three
of comfort and rest, three
months of freside and content, three
months of home and family, three
months of pure, solid comfort. Make
your houses comfortable. Donot hud-
die together in q little room around a
red hot stove, with every window fast
ened down. Do not live in this p0is-
oned air, and then when one Of your
children dies put piece in the paper
commencing with, Whereas, it hath
pleased Providence to remove from
our midst" Have plenty of air and
plenty Of warmth. Let your children
sleep. DO not drag Them from their
beds in the darkness of night. Treat
them with infinite killaaess. There is
no happiness in a house not filed with
love; where the man hates the wife,
or the wife the husband; where chill
dren fear their parents, or where pa
rents dislike their children. Every
such home is simply hell upon earth.
There is no reason why farmers should
not be refined and kind. There is
nothing in the cultivation of the soil
to make men cross, Grabbed and I'M
just. To look upon the sunny slopes
covered with daises, does not tend to
make men cruel. Whoever labOrs for
the happiness of those he loves, ele-
Yates himself; no matter whether he
works in the shop or plows in the per-
fumed fields.
In conclusion, let me say to farmers,
do all you can to make your business
attractive.-C Col. Robert 1ngerson.

VALUE OF POULTRY MANURE

VALUE OF POURTRY MANURE.
From actual experiment, we found
that the droppings from four Brahmas,
for one night, weighed, in one case, ex-
actly one pound; and III another more
than thfee-Quarters, an average of
nearly four ounces to each bird BY
drying, this was reduced to not quite
one and one-half ounces. Other breeds
make less; but allowing only one ounce
per bird daily of dry dung, fifty fowls
will make in their rOosting house alone
about ten hundred weight per annum
of the best manure in the world.
Hence, fifty head of poultry will make
more than enough manure for an acre
Of land, seven hundred weight of guano
being the usual quantity applied per
acre and poultry manure being even
stronger than guano in ammonia and
salts. No other stock will
give an equal return in this way, and
these figures demand careful attention
from the large farmer. The manure,
before using, should be mixed with
twice it's bulk of earth, and then al
lowed to stand in a heap, covered with
a few inches Of earth, till decomposed
throughout, then it makes the very
best manure that can be had.-Ex.

The 1nallman gweer.

EDITORS WESTERN RURAL: - Dur
ing the discussion on the merits of va
rious fruits at the recent meeting Of
the American Pathological Society in
Baltimore the Tallman Sweet was re-
jected for use in families, but regarded
as valuable for stock.
Mr.. J. J. Thomas rightfully came to
its rescue as a baking fruit. No one
wishes to eat these apples unless cook
ed. When baked in a proper manner
most persons would relish them and
find them nutritious and wholesome.
Having five large trees, and having
used them for the last twelve years we
know they suit us and our visitors.
AS the value of them depends Largely
on the manner i'll which they are cook
ed, have asked my good wife to in
form the readers of The Western Ru-
raj the way she does it. She puts them
in pie tins, adds half a teacupful Of.
water to them, then inyerts another
pie tin over them; then bakes slowly
until soft; takes off the upper tin and
bakes slowly until the skin is shrivel-
led, and the apples are of a brown
color and soft to the core. When done
(Which ordinarily takes about two
hours remove them to some crockerv
plate or dish and pour over them any
syrup which may remain in the pie
pan, and when cold they are delicious.
When baked quickly with the surface
burnt, and the core still hard, they are
not of much value. Weput up in cans
most varieties of fruit, still we gener-
ally prefer the Tallman Sweet rightlyI
baked and fLd it delicious, nourishingi
and wholesome. These apples are also
used by some, preserved in yariousI
ways, as in sweet pickles for instance.
We have very little Winter fruit in
all this region. If / were to go to mar
ket to purchase Winter fruit i would
select the Tallman Sweet for u part Of
my supply if it could be found. /

TIME no ME.

Time to me this truth hath taught,
IT'S a truth that's worth revealing
More offend from want of thought,
Than from any want of feeling.
Ii advice we would convey,
There's a time we should convey it
If we've but q word to say,
There's a time in which to say it!
Many a beauteous flower decays,
Though we tend it e'er SO much:
Something secret on it preys,
Which no human aid can touch
So, in many loving breast,
Lies some canker- grief concealed,
That, if touch'd is more oppressed,
Left unto itself-is healed.
Oft, unknowingly, the tongue
Touches ON chord SO aching,
That a word, or accent wrong,
Pains the heart almost to breaking.
Many tear Of wounded pride,
Many fault Of human blindness,
Had been soothed, Or turn'd aside,
BY quiet voice of kindness
Time to me this truth hath taught,
IT'S a truth that's worth revealing
More offend from want of thought,
Than from any want of feeling.

Tramp! Tramp, The
Boys are Marching.

They wanted these tramps during the
years OF the war
They wanted them to make the bonds
good
The rebellion" had to be put down
and the "tramps" did put it down
There was IL class Of. men at the be-
ginning of the war whoihad few thou
sand dollars each, bu they We're too
cowardly to 90 into thIfervicc, but they
were patriotic cnoughf3 give forty cents
on the dollar for bonds
The tramps were seht out to do the
i2hiing!
Sent out to fight men MS poor as them
selves :
Sen, out to establst monied aris-
tocracy in this " Tree gmerica" of ours.
Sent out to free niggers and enslave
white men
That Is the long and the short of it and
the best way to tell tue truth is Ito come
right at it!
They promised to pay these "tramps'
$1,000 mouth in gold
They paid them in greenbacks which
the bDndholder said were worth but
forty cents on the dollar
The Government went back on the
tramps -repudiated its obligation!
1t agreed to pay dollar, and paid but
forty cents
The tramp" tried to SNAKE OUT
with the forty cents, but lie couldn't do
it. He found the bondholder against
him, and the bondholtler had the ad-
vantage, because the Government paid
the rich man dollar for dollar, but the
tramp soldier got but forty cents on
the dollar.
1t was too much of contest for the
"tramp" and he fell.
The soldiers who had encountered
bullets at Shiloh, Chickamauga and at
Donelson, and still survived, yielded
when the bondholder got after them
with the difference Of go per cent. in his
favor.
The tramp" soldier revived his old
trade--he began to seek work He went
west, to one town and another, and
being refused, started to the next nearest
one.
All the boysare marching
Nearly as many men are now walking
for breac'as tIiere were fighting for mig
gers in 1858!
More men, white and black, are in
want than before the emancipation Of the
negroes
Who then should be emancipated
now2
If the blood and treasure of the coun-
try were all risked to free the nigger in
1861, what should be done for the white
tramp" the ex-soldiers, the people gen.
orally in 1877!
Tramp, trawp, tramp, the boys are
marching! !"
Let us hope that it will not be neces-
sary for them to march too far, before
their wrongs are righted.
