This advice from one who has

welghty influence on young men
who contemplate abandoning the

ought to have much greater i. flu

who had failed of success, for obvious
reasons. The old merchants con.

fourteen were farmers, and of 1850
in New York, only forty six were

and over ninety eight per cent. were

increased when the large excess of
the farming population over that of

health, morals, happiness, freedom

House Scrape for Fowls.

As the weather gets colder, fowls
are cut off from insects, fruits, seeds
&c. To compensate for this, it is
necessary to supply your birds with
an equivalent in nice bits. THIS can
often be done with scraps from the
table, leaves of vegetables, DC.
This is especially required if fowls
are limited to a small run, for though
every one who keeps fowls may not
own fve-acre lot for them to run
in, yet he can keep them in health
and with profit to himself, by giving
them proper attention.
When fowls are supplied with the
change of food they seldom peck of
each others feathers, but if they once
commence it is very hard work to
break them of such a habit. Pieces
from the table are used with more
profit to feed poultry than pigs, and
they supply that variety which nature
reuulres.-Er.
