ALL SORTS,

The season is at hand when fowls that
have been fattened with care ind ready
sale. There Is a very great difference
between a bird that has been cooped for O
couple of weeks and one that is caught
from the general flock at night and killed
at once, The best food for fattening
poultry il oatmeal mixed with scalding
milk. As a change in their diet is neces-
| sary boiled barley may occasionally be
| substituted. Give fresh feed three times
a day, as much, but no more. than can be
eaten at each meal. Chopped up mutton

the kitchen mixed with scalded meal will
produce an extra degree of fatDess, Give
green food. such as chopped cabbage.
turnips or onions. Keep them supplied
with gravel and fresh water Milk, either
sweet, sour or thick, is also most excel

kept longer than two weeks. as il forced
for greater length Of time they are apt to
become diseased. Leave them without
food or water for fourteen hours before
killing.
The New York becky Sun says the
best way to keep pork IN this climate. is to
salt it in brine, and place the barrels ia a
cool cellar, When the pork is ready to

REDKsTRICTION.
Ard. Henry's Plan Undoubtedly the
best.

The article in the THE ARGUS last
evening about redistricting the city, giving
the plan of AID Henry. has excited con-
siderable discussion and meets with much
favor. it being generally regarded as .
very fair basis of division, and as contiguous
in territory as could be desired.
The Union referring to the matter takes
some exceptions to the plan, on the ground
that the districting would divide up tho
wards as BARROW strips. The Union says:
The wards, whatever their size, which
must be regulated by population, should
be as nearly as possible In the form OF
squares. They certainly shouid not be
in the form of narrow strips OF territory.
The Union then goes on to criticise the
Henry plan by stating that it is an une-
quail division, but does not prove very
ooncIusivey wherein scch is tho case
The Union says:
1.-THE departure from Mr.. Henry's plan
that we would advocate, and have advocat
ed before, is in making three wards out of
the territory between Eighth and Nineteen
| tn streets Let line be drawn along
Fifth avenue and ali south be made ward
With central voting place at the Neptune
hose house on Twelfth street. Then to
the 1north let there be one ward from
Eighth to Fifteenth street, voting at the
Wideawake hose house on Fourteenth, and
| another from Fifteenth to Nineteeth. vot-
| ing at the ArDory. on Fourth avenue and
Sixteenth street, This arrangement
| would make four very even wards with
conveniences for voting that would be bet
| ter on the whole than we have at present.
The Union wants the wards square, but
| it will be manifest that the plan is not Ia
accordance with that idea. Except in the
Second aud Third wards. the wards are il
strips, and we fail to see any improvement
whatever over the Henry plau-in fact the
Union S project is not as good, inasmuch
as it slices the First ward.

ever since. Ii ia already announced that
the general assembly which convsnes in
January next will be called upon to submit
the proposition of 1877 again to the people
or some other which will cover the case.
The Chicago Times says:
SIT is safe to say that the money 10 complete the
building will never be appropriated until SprinL-
field carries out in good faith the proposition

make good their word
Whether the statements of the Times iD
regard to the shortcomings of Springfield
are entirely correct or not, if there is any
hitch of this sort it is more than probable
the appropriation will be defeated as it
was before. 1t is very difficult nowadays
to get the people TO vote money from
which they are TO derive no direct person
