Poultry Farming.

No other business connected with agri-
cultural pursuits, seems so attractive as
poultry farming. Even those who fail in
the business, and retire from it, aver that
they are certain they could succeed In a
new trial; their mistakes having taught
them how to succeed in the future. This
may be true, but it is noteworthy that
they do not try again. Still, we have
almost daily inquiries, especially from
young men, as to the possibility of max
ing a living by poultry to all of which
we q forced to give unsatisfactory replies
The profit in poultry lies in keeping small
flocks. From such it is easy to make an
income of ST each from every hen annu-
ally, even after buying food: But no ac-
count must be taken of the waste and
damage done to crops, nor of the value
of free foraging done by the fowls and
those amount to a considerable sum if
figured up closely. Then accidents are
to be taken. account of. For instance /:
the writer once kept a flock of thirty
light Brahma hens, which did well for
three years, and paid excellentlv; but
the unfortunate introduction of a cock
erel from distant yard brought a preva-
lent disease, of which every bird died.
leaving one brood of motherless chicks
the sole survivors This may be taken
rs an example of The uncertainties of the
business, which are increased in proper
ton as the flock is larger. A flock may
be kept as an adjunct to a more import
ant business, and to take up spare time.
and in that case, barring accident NAV
made profitable. But it may be taken
as a certainty that not one person
in hundred who have tried it, has ever
succeeded in keeping a flock of several
hundred fowls in profitable condition.
If one thinks he is born to succeed, let
him try; he may possibly become a
shining example to show others the
way to success American Agriculturist.
Poultry intended for immediate kill
ing should fast for twenfy-four hours be-
fore being killed. since the food INJURIES
the appearance of the bird and is also
apt to sour and damage the meat. Tur-
keys should be killed by bleeding in the
neck; in fact all poultry is better, trea-
ted in the same manner and picked while
warm, though never scalded. When the
poultry is picked take off the head at

This question has been asked and an
swered many times, with varying results
according to the breed, the care and at

Store hogs in a healthy condition and of
good breed should lay on a pound of
additional weight for every five and six-
tenth pounds of merchantable corn fed
to them, and will do it on an AVERAGE
with reasonable care. When thew do NOT

Fattening is accomplished most profit
ably as the cool weather of autumn adj
vances, the animals having plenty of
water or mud in which to roll wnen they
choose, with good shelter and warm
quarters in which to lie. The feeding
place should be kept clean and corn in

as much as they will eat up clean, and
Stop or meal at noon, with pure clean
water night and morning. The fatter
they become, the closer their quarters
may be. In the early stages of fatten-
ing they need room for exercise, with
wheat bran, charcoal and sulphur
occasionally to keep them in condition
and increase the size D. bone and

Eight Days in a Swamp without Food.

The particulars of fearful adventure
in Pike County, Pa, reached here this
morning. Mrs. Mary Avery, who resides
near HOnesdale, Wayne County, started
out to visit relatives at Rowland's, Pike
County, Pa. She concluded to walk,
and night overlook her while she was
passing through Link" Swamp, in
Lackawaxen township, Pike County.
Mrs. Avery lost her way and got fast in
the mire. She struggled to get out of
the bog, but in vain, for the more she
struggled the deeper she sank. She
finally ceased attempting to extricate
herself, and prayed for help to arrive;
but none came. She remained in this
mire up to her knees for eight days.
She kept alive by continually moving the
hands and keeping up a motion of the
body. No food passed her lips in one
hundred and ninety-four hours, save
some birch bark that grew on the bushes
within reach She was compelled to
quench her thirst by drinking the dirty
water in which she stood. She was re-
scued from her perilOus position on the
eighth day after her first imprisonment
in the bog by Mr.. John Barsden, who
passed through the swamp while on a
hunting expedition. Mrs. Avery was
found in a seE1i-unConscious condition
and was conveyed to the nearest house,
some three miles distant, where medical
assistance was summoned and food given
the starved woman. The doctors say
that in all probability her mind will be
seriously impaired, the mental strain
while in the bog for eight days having
been terrible. Mrs. Avery is of a very
respectable family and is quite wealthy.
Her relatives intended to keep the
particulars of her adventure quiet, so as
TO avoid newspaper notoriety, but your
reporter heard of the matter, and upon
investigation found the above to be the
nnrrnnt M rticnlars
