While the spices which they bear

And the sailors pity me.

And some days when skies are fair,
Up the bay my ships will sail.

Afghan SOldle y,

The relations between the officers ard
men remind one of those existing IN the
Turkish army. If an Afghan officer drinks
tea, number of soldiers arc sure to sit
around him. If he smokes a kuliuna, all
the soldiers gather near him and await their
turn; the hatiana, having gone the round
of 'hc privatcs, returns again to the officer
If a soldier smokes pipe. the officer asks
him 10 let him have draw at il. Should
a soldier take from tho folds of his dress
tobacco pouch, in order to put n plug of to-
bacco under his tongue, the officer inserts
his finger and thumb into the pouch also,
and takes a pinch of tobacco. On the
other hand, should the officer take out his
own pouch, the soldier helps himself in a
SIMILAR manner to his tobacco. did not
observe that the mutual freedom of manner
had any detrimental effect on the discipline
of the troops The men obeyed the com.
mands of their officers with docility, and
never displayed lnsubordnation when sen.
tenccd'to be thrashcd. Indeed, it is cx-
ccedingly rare that officers employ the
lash. During the whole of my sojourn in
Afghanlstan, only saw the punishment
inflicted twice; on both occasions on men
who had stolen hay from my horses.

Range for l'oultry.

III has become quite question as to
whether a lar &c range is essential or even
desirable in the raising of poultry. On the
one hand we are told that fowls In a state
of nature had an unlimited range; that we
must follow nature rs closely as possible,
in order to secure the best r0sults; that
with good range the fowls can procure
many articles of food suitable for their
sustcnancc, and also many ingredients that
cohducc to the prescrvati II of their health.
On the othor hand, we are told TINT it IL
not desirable to follow nature too closely
in the rearing of fowls, inasmuch as in that
state they would pay very little If any
profit, laying but one, or ut most, two set
tinga of eggs per year; that the very change
IN their food both ns to quantity and quality,
has bccn tho means OF vastly increasing
the cgg production, and that the expert
cnced breeder can judge better as to the
requirements of his fowls, so as to return
HIM profit, than they can themselves.
1t IS evident that much car be said on
both sides Of this question, and 1t seems to
the writer to be something like tho gold
apl silver shield question. Both are right
rnd both are wrong. 1t depends entirely
on what breed of poultry you keep; what
your object IS in raising fowls, and whether
not. A great many of the smaller varieties,
such as the Leghorn, will ordinarily not
only fail to give much Of Il profit when con-
fined hut will usually decrease in vigor and
become delicate, while such varieties as
the Plymouth Rock and Brahama will un-
der certain circumstances, do very we'll III
confinement. Again If you are breeding
n type of fowls which you wish to perpetu :
ate, IL follows that you should give them
as large range as possible, as that certainly
increases their vlgor and preserves their
stamina; but If jon are breeding simply for
eggs and flesh, expecting to introduce new
blood each year, you could probably d. as
we'll without giving your fowls a large
range. All this, however, depends upon
what the fowls have been accustomed to.
If they have had range it will be found
almost impos ,ibeito make them profitable
without one, as they will pine for their
accustomed liberty, aud decrease in their
egg production If it is not given them. Tho
only way then to keep fowls probably
without a range, is to never allow them to
have one from their Dl rth.
