PURE--BRED AND COMMON FOWLS.

The views of the Poultry World on this
subject are expressed as follows: A certain
writer discredits the claim that pure-bred
fowls are better flesh and egg producers
than common stock. While admitting that
they DO usually furnish more meat and eggs
than are furnished by the farmers flock, he
thinks this is due to superior care and feed.
ing. He says that a person who pays two
or three dollars for eggs, or higher price
for fowls, will be very apt to give them ex-
ira care
There is, no doubt, much truth in the
saying that the breed is in the feed but it
is only the statement of half truth. Good
feeding and care will compel any flock of
fowls to do their best; but, after all, the
Characteristic differences of the varieties
remain, and cannot be changed by feeding
these differences are in many cases, consti-
tutional that is, by long course of selec.
tion and local influences, certain traits have
become permanently, 'ixed. The blood of
certain varieties is very strong and will show
itself for generations in each successive
cross. The Game cock will transmit his
game qualities, his proud carriage and close
ness of feathering; the Leghorn his spright-
ly disposition and wonderful productiveness;
the Asatic indolent habits and tendency to
lay on flesh and fat all these
being marked features of the breeds men
toned. Now, feeding will not affect these
distinctive tendencies-at least not to any
extent. They were formed by climate in
fdences, operating for. thousands of years,
aided by long process of selection, some
times natural and sometimes guided by
man. In late years we have taken in hand
the several families of domestic fowls, land
by careful selection and breeding have ex.
aggerated, as it we're, their peculiar traits
until they have become very strongly mark.
ed. To say, therefore, that the average
dunghll fowl will lay as many eggs as a
well-bred Leghorn, or will produce as much
| flesh as Brahma will do in eight or nine
months, is to affirm what fair trial will
| show to be false

ANCIENT HISTORY IN A CAVE.

A remarkable cave has been discovered
on the farm of David Samuels, 10 miles from
La Cross, Minnesota. The cave is so feet
long, l3 feet wide, and about feet high.
Above the quarry sand, which has evidently
drifted in and covered the floor to the depth
of from three to six feet, upon the walls, are
very rude carvings representing men, arms,
animals and implements, and some appear
be hieroglyphics. One picture represents
men with bows and arrows shooting animals,
three buffaloes and one rabbit Another
represents three animals which if large must
have been like the hippopotamus another
appears to represent mastodon on anoth
er picture moose is quite plainly delineat-
ed. There are eight representations that are
canoes much carved, or hammocks which
they more resemble. One sketch of a man
is very plain the figure wears kind of
chaplet or crown and was probably chief of
his tribe or clan. 7 ere are many fragments
of pictures where the rock had decomposed
The rock is a very coarse soft white sand
stone. On one side of the cave is space of
about two feet high and three in length
made in the rock. Above are the fragments
of pictures and below are lower fragments,
showing that they were made when the rock
was entire. Flom the depth to which de-
compositions reached in this dry and dark
cavern the inscriptions must be quite an.
cient If the carving mentioned represents
the mastodon the work must have been by
mound builders. The accumulated sand
needs to be removed to get full view, and
possibly human remains may be found. The
entrance to the cave has evidently been COW
cred by land slide there being LET. only a
small hole where traps have been set for
coons. The large number of these animals
which were caught led to the belief that the
space inhabited by them must be large and
investigation led to the discovery of the
cave. Over the entrance, since the land
slide, a poplar IS inches in diameter has
grown, which shows conclusively that the
cave has not been occupied by human beings
for more than century.

Ex-Governor Horatio Seymour, address,
ing the farmers at a fair in Oneida county,
n. Y, the other day, said:
i am not much of farmer, aud have lit
tie right to stand before you as such, but
brought over here for exhibition some DO
tatoes that certainly exceeded my speech.
In reference to the depression of the times
let me recs Il to you an ancient fable. There
was once giant so powerful that he could
not be overcome. But he derived his
strength from his mother earth, for no mat
ter how exhausted he might become, he re-
gained his powers the moment that he came
in contact with the soil The way in which
he was finally overpowered was by coming
into contact with an opponent so strong that
he could lift him from the ground and hold
him suspended in the air until he was
strangled to death. Now there is a lesson
in this for u.s. So long as this people of ours
can seek its support from mother-earth, so
long it cannot be overcome There never
yet was president of the United States who
when he left his office, did not seek The
country and retire to his farm. Washing.
ton did this, so did Adams and Jefferson

rest, health and peace in retirement to thei
