= SOUTHWARK FLIGHT OF OWLS
About three weeks ago says the Port
Jervis, New York, Union, it was MOTTO
ed by residents of the surrounding coun-
try that large tfocks of owls were flying
southwark from the north. Since that
time the flying hocks have been seen
every now and then, and many of them
have been captured. These owls are
nearly all white, and those of them that
have been captured are fine specimens
Of the bird. One taxidermist in New
York City had sixty taken to him to
stuff ten days ago; and Captain James
Buchanan, of Newburgh, has had half
dozen Of them brought to his store.
There are several theories given to ex-
plain the cause Of the extraordinary
fight ; but the most plausible one is
that the sudden ice how of the north
has caused the owls to leave their
northern homes and seek warmer quar-
tiers. Whatever the cause, the circum-
stance is an interesting one, and worthy
investigation on the part Of those in-
terested in birds and their fight.

TRIBUTE TO GENERAL WADE HAMP-
ToN.-The London Telegraph thus con-
cludes splendid tribute to General
Hampton
Though stripped of his property and
ruined he has survived to set as useful
and active an example to his compatriots
in peace as he did in war, nor in his
darkest hour Of agony did he ever desert
his native State. She has rewarded him
by appointing him to be her Governor.
and it is to be hoped that the long lane
of poor South Cardinals adversely will
at last have turning, for it is certain
that General Wade Hampton will show
himself to be as true and incorruptible
in Office as he was brave upon the
battlefield. When the hour shall arrive
for the South to gather up her jewels il
will be found that such men as Wade
Hampton, Of South Carolina, Kemper,
of Virginia, and Gordon, of Georgia,
who for four years faced fearful odds
upon many bloody battlefield, will,
like the greatest Of Americon rebels.
George Washington, show themselves
to be first in war. first in peace, and
first in the hearts of their countrymen.'

Dsn't Fssa fsaltry On Germ.

In forty-five out Of fifty flocks Of
poultry you will find the feeding boxes
supplied with Indian corn.
Now for laying hens it is worse than
valueless, there is SO much fattening
material in its composition and so little
OF the albuminous that eggs cannot be
manufactured from it.
This grain is the lazy mans blessing.
No work is required in feeding it out it
keeps clean; the fowls like it, and
nothing is wasted.
Your hens will eat it when they will
eat anything, but the only result will be
an increase Of fat on their bodies and a
decrease ofvitality and productiveness.
The grains which abound in albu-
minoids only should be fed to poultry.
AOur experience has been that for Their
breakfast a dry dough of shorts is
sufficient; # you have some skim milk
to mix it with, all the better. A good
supply of oats and barley should be
kept in the feeding box through the day.
and at night feed of whole wheat should
be given them.
Wheat screenings are not economical.
and the wheat seeds they contain are
enough to "disqualify" them, even 4
they were otherwise desirable. Many
poultry keepers have discovered the
pernicious effects of corn on poultry
and have tried to change their diet and
owners have finally yielded and
acknowledged the corn"
In such cases the only plan is tc
starve the fowls into eating some other
food they will come to terms when
they get sufficiently hungry, and aftet
they have become accustomed to less
attractive diet they will improve in
every way.
Corn should be fed only in the colo
weather, and then sparingly and fol

How TO MAKE FARMING Pay
The following directions, how to make
farming pay, do not in these hard times
need careful observance: Be careful
about working too hard. Do not hurry
out in the morning, but sleep while the
air is cool and refreshing. Do the most
of your work in the middle Of the day,
when it is too hot to rest comfortable. e.
Make an Grand to the store as often as
possible, and talk with the loafers on
the corners as long as they will talk
with you. You may need an extra
hand some time in haying, and it will
be well to keep on the right side OF
them. Whenever you hear of an auc-
ton sale, attend by all means, and bid
on everything that is offered, whether
you need it or not. If a circus or eel
ebration comes to town, take your fam
lily and spend the day. The recreation
you receive will do you good.

HORSES. our observations we
expect to see much influenza, sporadic
at least, if not epizootic, the coming
winter. To avoid this weakening disease
thorough ventilation should be given in
the stables, and too great warmth
avoided the food should be of the best
character, the bowels should be kept
somewhat relaxed by bran mashes and
linseed meal, and give an occasional
tonic, such as half an ounce of gentian
root, and one dram of sulphate ofcopper.
With such care, this disease will probab-
ly be avoided. Horses after driving
should not be left standing exposed to
storms.

A Low VOICE IN WoMAN.-Yes, we

A Low VOICE IN WoMAN.-Yes, we
agree with that old poet who said that
low, soft voice was an excellent
thing in woman" Indeed, we feel in
clined to go much further than he has
on the subject and call it one Of her
browning charms. No matter what
other attractions she may have; she
may be as fair as the Trojan Helen and
as learned as the famous Hypatia Of
ancient times she may have all the
accomplishments considered requisite at
the present day and every advantage
that wealth can procure. and bet if she
lacks low sweet voice, she can never
be really fascinating.
How often the spell Of beauty is rude
| ly broken by coarse. loud talking. How
often you are iresistibly drawn to a
PLAN, unassuming woman, whose soft.
silvery tones. render her positively at
tractive. Besides, we fancy, we can
judge Of the character by the voice !:
the bland, smooth, fawning tones seem
to betoken deceit and hypocrisy as in
variably as the musical, subdued voice
indicates genuine refinement.
In the social circle, how pleasant it is
to hear our sex talk in that low key
which always characterizes the true
lady. In the.sanctuary of home how
such voice soothes the fretful child
and cheers the weary husband. How
sweetly its cadence floats through the
sick chamber, and around the dying
bed, with what solemn melody do they
breathe prayer for the departing soul.
All, yes, a low, soft voice is certainly
ian, excellent thing in woman"

HoUsE SCRAPS FOR Fowls. AS the
weather gets colder, folws are cut of
from many insects, fruits, seeds, etc.
To compensate for this, is is necessary
to supply your birds with an equivalent
in nice bits. This can often be done
with scraps from the tables, leaves Of
vegetables, etc. This is especially re-
quired if fowls are limited to a small
run, for though every one who keeps
fowls may not own five 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 require, they sell
dom peck off each others feathers, but
if they once commence it is very hard
to break them Of such a habit. Pieces
from the. table are used with more profit
to feed poultry than pigs, and they sup
ply that variety which nature requires.
