The ferryboat at anchor lay
Near Hancocks island home,
Where his nlbs' on this election day
Waited ill the news was known
His hoosier pal had also come
From Indiana's wood
To count returns wired by Barnum,
Who ut headquarters stood.
A shudder shot thro' both their veins
As this telegram came by:
"New YORK and Maine have gone for James
By largo majority"
This was an awful, crushing blow,
But how they fore their hair
When they learned that California, too,
Had gone back OIL the pair.
with horror all aghost,
They read with pallid brow and cheek
Connecticut has cast
Her solid vote tor Garfield, aud
lndinna's followed suit"
Then English laiuied on tho sand,
a usod-up "hooser coot."
The superb went on deck and gospcd,
"Oh, suites, thy VIII be douep'
Then suddenly the throttle grosped
And turned the steam full on.
That fcrryboOt tore through the wave

Controlling the Sex of Fowls.

Both English aud American poultry fan.
ciers have experimental considerable for tho
purpose of establishing somo method by which
to control the sex of their pets. In q late
number of CdsSel's Magazine u writer sums up
the results Of tho experience of British
breeders as follows:
l. A cockerel mated with not more than
three adult hens will give, almost always, a
larger number of male than female chicks
especially will this be the case with the
earlier broods. Later broods will be more un-
certain.
2. Mating an adult cock with not more than
three pullets will be uncertain in its results
nate.
3. Mating an adult cock with five or more
pullets will give an excess of pullcts, but us
in the first instance, there will bo most male
birds from tho earlier eggs
4. Young birds or adult birds mated to.
Ecther will give uncertain results, hut the
fewer the heus, and the moro vigorous the
cock, tho greater will bo the proportion of
males, and they will be the most numerous
from tho early eggs
From what we learn from our own breeders
we think the general experience uccurts pretty
closely with the above. We may add in this
connection, that rs hens grow older they (us u
rulc) begin to lay later in the season; some
say fully month later Two.ycar.old hens
will very likely, in this latitude if tho
weather is ordinarily mild, commence laying
in February. When three years old it will
not do to expect eggs before tho month OF
March. Young hens are tho best layers.
After the third year the dccreas in the mum.
Der of eggs is very material in most cases
