Poultry on the Farm.

The French farmers, who surpass
all the world in their understanding
and appreciation of the small ccono-
mics of agriculture, set great store
by the products Of their poultry
yards, accounting them one of the
chief spokes in the wheel of their
agricultural fortune. 1t is said that
i'll France scarcely n meal is eaten
without eggs or poultry forming
some part of it; and yet their expor-
tations Of the surplus amount to
astonishing figures, sending to Eng
land alone near $l0,OOO,O 900 worth of
eggs per year. Many Of the small
tenant formers Of France pay their
rents from the products of their
poultry yards alone. We give these
facts as illustrating the money value
of good, wcll-kept poultry to our
farmers. We do not mean to say
that large establishments, devoted
exclusively to poultry, such as are
maintained in large numbers among
the French, would pay with us. The
idea we desire to impress upon our
Centre county farmers is that a prop
er number Of good fowls, well cared
for, and provided with proper accom-
modatlons, will pay larger per cent
age on the cost, than can be obtain
ed from any other department Of
farm production with the same cx-
penditure OF time and trouble. IL

the girls and boys, and those who
by infrmity Of body or weight of years
are incapacitated for the heavy labors
OF the tarm-would turn their atten-
tion TO this matter, we believe that
within two years the profits of our
farmers would be increased at least
twenty per cent.
This is the time TO take the subject
into consideration. The crowding
and pushing and hurrying incident
- shay and harvest are about over
and you have 'timc to think" Look
to your nocks Of half-grown chick
ems; select from them all the earliest
and finest pullcts, and give them
little extra feed and care, marketing
or eating all the rejected young stock,
and all the old stock but n few Sr the
choicest hens to be reserved for early
settlers in the spring. Between this
and cold weather provide for your
pullets comfortable-not necessarily
expensive-quarters about October
or November, when breeders of good
fowls arc disposing of their surplus
stock, secure from some of them a
good cockcrcl Of whatever breed
your fancy or judgment may dictate !;
give your fowls intelligent care dur
ing the winter; read the DEMOCRAT
regularly, and put into practice the
hints and suggestions it will give from
time to time upon the subject, and
our word for it you will be as de-
lighted as you will be surprised at
the "pleasure and profit" you will de-
rive from your poultry yard.

Thoughts Of Thinking Farmers.

Selected ffvm carc'IaHtrnrs 4 Country Gspi'suaa
To the qucstion-"Would YOU CON
slider wcll-brcd animal n good fac
tory for the manufacture of fcrtili-
zcrs, aside from the profit or value to
be obtained directly from the food in
butter or fat 81 would reply, that
depends upon circumstances. Gencr-
ally speaking, ! should say there is
no object in keeping live stock for
the sake of making manure. Broad
" considered, the only use OF ma
uurc is TO produce food, or fibre.
But to obtain manure by destroying
seryicablc food, or fibre, is OF itself
obvious waste, the poorest food of
man, or Of domestic animals, and
the least scrviccablc fibre, being
worth more than the manure tlmt
can be made from them under nearly
all conditions likely to occur. Under
all ordinary circumstance. the labor.
the flesh, milk or wool Of our animals
is worth more than the manurc~ but
in thickly settled regions the value Of
the manure is no inconsiderablc part
Of the profit Of keeping live stock.
In any case agricultural profit con
sists in converting cheap materials
or agents into more valuable ones,
and if the food devoted TO cattle
keeping, &c, be not hereby trans
formed into something which, added
to the manure, exceeds the cost of
the food there is no profit.
There may be exceptional cases, or
localities, where the manure is un-
usually valuablc-as for tobacco
raising-and feed unusually cheap,
where the animal may possibly pay
simply as manure factory; but
incline to-bclicvc that the profit in
any such case could be got, and more
than got, by substituting something
else for the animal. II certainly
would not pay to use the animal itself
directly as manure, after finishing
with it as n manure factory.
| cannot understand what some
are said to have asserted, that any part
or kind of cattle or pig food, will,
in ordinary farming, pay for itself
in the manure. The more food we
give to our live stock the more ma
nure they viii make, and the richer
the food Is in fertilizing elements,
viz, nitrogen, phosphates, aRalics,
&c, the richer will be the manure !:
but | should never feed anything
simply and solely for the sake of
making more manure, or better ma
nure. The business OF feeding should
be conducted with the single purpose
of getting the highest return from
the food and animals in the forms of
horse power, flesh and fat, milk, &c,
and the manure should be regarded
as secondary or incidental though
not unimportant result.

made so full of loss TO the farmer ms
TO allow naturally good soil to detc.
ri0ratc Mt all and when farmers un-
derstand and act on this principle,
our productions will never fall below
an average, or even TO this point.
Nature seems to require that To
keep up the fertility, all soils must
have a covering Of vegetable growth
in some form, and we will act wisely
TO follow and assist nature to this
end. Even soil that is rich or very
rich in plant food, will get poor by
remaining destitute Of vegetable
growth. How often we see soils
made very rich by market gardeners,
during n short period waiting for n
special crop, become covered with
minute plant growth or vegetable
covering! Hence chick-wccd, seem
ing pest of the gardener, will grow
even in winter and form thick mass
on the surface. In the absence Of
the chick-wccd or other growth, n
kind of moss will coat the surface.
While the gardener curses what TO
him seems pest, he forgcts that ma
turc is aiding him TO hold the fcrtili-
ty and inccasc it, and is only hint
in n plain way to keep his soil cover
ed with some crop Of a suitable ma
ture to assist in retaining and incrcas-
ing the fertility, and nearly or all
those volunteer crops Of vegetation
only step in where man leaves of
good culture and rotation, as nm aid
and n stimulus TO greater cxcrtion on
the part Of the farmer. In this ma
ture make no mistake. We can, by
persistence, thwart nature in her de-
signs, and impovcri-h our land, but
the same uncrring and unfailing fin
ger of nature still remains. pointing
out our mistakes, and will, If follow
ed, force lis back TO the normal CON
dition, and still point TO higher adj
yauces in vegetable product.

what he is. An ass. The class Of
self-made men is an honorable one.
The class, that has been circumstance
into eminencc, is odious. Some one
else models the mould. They fit
themselves into it. They are made
at second hand. They belong to the
Junk shop. Those, the force of whose
own merit makes the way, are self
made. They respect the maker and
the process of manufacture. The
Junk shop article is scarcely ever &C.
ouainted with either. The self.made
man must possess innate ability and
intelligence. The other utilities the
brains if some one else; may have
them, but must not needs have them
himself. There are distinctive marks
by which the two classes may BE- rec
ognized. The se]f.mads man by his
modesty. The one that exists or is,
what he is, by proxy, by his prssump.

A most remarkable woman died in

A most remarkable woman died in
Washington on Saturday last-a sort
of link between the present and the
historic past. 1t was Mrs. Margaret
Eaton, once the wife Of Gen. John II =.
Eaton, Secretary Of war under Presi-
dent Jackson and the veritable "Peg.
gy" whose social status broke up one
Cabinet and came near destroying an
Administration. She was born at Bla-
densburg in this State and was eighty
one years of age at the time of her
death. She first married an officer OF
the navy named Undertake. After bis
death she married Gen. Eaton and
became famous as one of the most
beautiful women of the period In her
day of glory she was more widely
known and celebrated than Madame
Patterson Bonaparte. Durin, jack
sons administration she did the hon.
ors of the White House, Mrs. Jackson
being an invalid, aud exercised so emf
nent an authority that she made and
unmade Cabinets at Ter pleasure. She
was politically and socially the most
famous woman Of America, and will
ever stand alone as such for the exist
ence of any one parallel is nowadays
an impossibilty. After the death OF
Gen. Eaton and when she was a
grandmother Mrs. Eaton was for a
third time married to an italian dam
cling master, named Bnchignani, who
afterwarl eloped with her grand
daughter, taking a good share Of her
money, aud went to Italy, where he
lived in afluence. Mrs. Eaton has
resided in Washington ever since her
dessrtion by her Italian lord and has
at times actually suffered for the
necessities Of life. In a romano writ
ten some years ago by Mrs. LasseIle
entitled "Magdalen, the Enchar'
eress," she figures as the heroine She
was laid to rest in Oak Hill Gene
try to morrow, where, in the roman
tic conception OF the novelist, she was
crowned Queen of May sixty-Gvt
