Odds and Ends.
"A sick baker is weakened man.
I-Hackensael Republican.
"A good place for holding the polls:
A barber-shop.-Utica Observer.
"A Schenectady clergyman is deliy-
ering sermons on Heaven" 1t has
seemed to US for some time that some
thing ought to be said on that side of the
subject.-N. Y. Observer.
Old Marshal Canrobert was sent to
Rome to represent the French Republic
at the funeral of Victor Emanuel. The
appropriation for his expenses was So
600 of which he returned S3,40O, to the
surprise of the French Department of
Finance, which had never known such a
thing to be DONE The old soldier, how
ever, insisted on covering the amount
into the Treasury, saying that if there
was any stealing to be done some one
else must do it.
"A young man, recently married,
who has been an enthusiastic collector
of coins, found that his wife, with the
charming freshness characteristic of
brides, has been drawing on his cabinet
for change, and among other things
had passed out an old penny, for which
he paid $3.50, for cents worth of
yeast. That yeast 'sraisedn more in
that household than any previous in
yestment of the same amount of money.
I-Springfeld Rep.
"A young man in an Austin, New,
barber-shop was particular about hav-
ing his moustache nicely perfumed.
" Going to call on a young lady, I sup
pose?" the barber asked. The young
man with much dignity replied: "See
here, my friend, do you suppose put
perfume on my moustache because I'm
going to see man, or boy, or an old
woman, or baby in arms? Do men
gather grapes of thorns or figs of this
tles?"
The new Pope complains that he
doesn't receive the Herald regularly.
We can assure Mr.. Leo that the fault
does not lie at our post-office. No doubt
the postmaster at Rome loans it to his
friends, who sometimes forget to return
it. And we have a complaint also from
the Khedive of Egypt. He wants us to
use a much heavier and stronger quality
of paper. He says by the tine eight
hundred of his wives read the Herald it
is SO ragged and illegible that his other
one hundred and fourteen wives are de-
prived of perusing it, and they grumhle
awfully about it. Hereafter we shall
print the Khedive's copy on parchment.

vERNAL WARNINGS.
Azephyr from The southwark
Through the open window blows,
With its prophecies of jessamine,
Mignonette and rose,
But n voice from II is calling
"Don't leave of your winter clothes"
Though the softness of the tropics
In the wings of March is set,
And the bluebirds and the pansies
Their appointed time forget;
Comes a warning with the biandness-
"Wear your winter fianneis yet"

Does Poultry Pay ! ts. ".
HENRY HALES.

As eggs sell better in winter than at
any other time it is well to keep such
fowls as lay best in winter, and to keep
them in layin. condition. Hens will not
lay unless in laying condition, Hens will
not lay unless kept in good order-not
too fat but active; combs, bright red ;
eye, sparkling; feathers, close and
glossy; and their whole appearance live
ly and healthy.
The LeghOrns arc fowls that answer
best for marketable eggs; they respond
quickly to extra food and care, aud
will lay IN cold weather, if they have a
warm house. The Brown appear to be
little harder than the White, espe-
cially WHEN Young, and they are also
the best layers. If cross is preferred
the Light lirahma appears to me TO be
the best cross. The cross, hardens their
constitutions So that they care less
about cold. Ii will not, however, i'm
prove their summer laying, but will
make many Of them want 10 sit, which
the purc-bred Leghorn does not often
do, yet | once had four out Of seven
young hens sit, and after sitting steadi-
", they made good mothers. But the
complaint generally is that they don't sit
steadily often leaving the nest after sit
ting half their time. The Browns sit
better than the Whites
As have said, the secret Of winter
laying lies in getting hens up in good
condition. y practical florist, when he
goes into greenhouse, can tell at a
glance the exact condition of the plants
he sees around him. and what they re-
quire if out Of order; so can the keeper
ofpoultry Judge his stock, ifhe is fit for
his business. Fresh air is important.
On every warm enough day give the
houses all the air you can have the
openings for ventilation close up to the
ceiling. Open them when the weather
allows. and have them a little way
open in all but the EXTREMIST cold
weather, even at night but when the
wind blows cold, so as to cause draft
through the house. close the windward
ventilators.
Cleanliness Is the most important
consideration III keeping many fowls
Tie dirt muluplies faster than the COM
prative number Of birds. To take up
the droppIngs every morning Especially
if the stock is confined in the house
through lad weather. involves some la
Dor ; but If this is done Systematically,
the trouble is much lightened. A
broad shovel, and q short hoe or scraper,
set in motion with ordinary muscle and
locomotion, soon does the job. Keep a
barrel Just outside the door, and a box
can be used to carry out the manure to
the barrel, when the door cannot be
left open keep the barrel covered aud
dry and when filed remove its contents
to the manure pic. One thing that re-
Quires special attention, when the fowls
arc woatherbound, Is the feeding and
watering without getting soil into their
food and water. Have their utensils so
protected that the stock cannot either
step into or roost on them. Besides
the food and care recommended in the
Rural. broken oyster shells, should be
supplied 10 every house ; the hens crave
them they are alsU fond Of crushed
bone, the lime Of which enters largely
into the composition of egg shell.
