Daniel Webster's Opinion.

If you are farmer dissatisfied with
your work In life, or young man who
thinks farming beneath him, or profess
eional man who sneers at agricultural
pursuits, or simply a curious reader glad
to know the opinion of great man on
great subject, read the anecdote which
the Boston Journal tells of Daniel Web
ster. Daniel Webster visited John Tay-
Tor, who worked on the Webster farm, in
1852. Taylor, in speaking of him at the
that time, said:
His health and bodily strength are
good for man of his age. 1 will give
you sample Last Friday week we
had fourteen tons of English hay well
made and ready to put in the barn in the
afternoon. 1t was busy day on the farm,
and all who could handle rake or
pitchfork were pressed into the service.
When we came in to lunch in the fore
noon Mr.. Webster entered the kitchen,
and in a playful manner and tone said !:
John Taylor, what wages will you
give me to work for you this afternoon
"' will give you half dollar, sir.
Why, John Taylor, l cannot afford
TO work for that price and you under
rate my abilities. can pitch as much
hay as any other man
"' 1t is on the supposition, sir, that you
are a good hand that l offer you those
wages. We get our best men for 81 a
day I replied.
"'If that is the case John Taylor, I
am your man. 1 will finish my CORES
pondence with the department, eat an
early dinner and be ready to take the
field with you. AS incoming on that day
was short, and by the time the teams
were ready Mr. Webster made his ap-
pearance, we drove into the field. The
nay lay in winrows. Mr.. Webster and
myself pitched on the same cart. He
took winrow on one side and I the
other. A ton was put on the cart, when

How to Make Poultry Paw.

The question is frequently asked,
" Does 1t pay to keep poultry ?" AS
generally kept no. 1t pays those who
have the capital and all the appliances
who raise fancy stock and get fancy
prices, say two or three dollars for a
oockerel, four and FIVE dollars for trio
three dollars dozen for eggs, etc. But
as ordinarily kept by our farmers. not
one In hundred receive as much for
poultry as the food is worth with which
they feed them. Our farmers never
make any account of the feed. They
have some eggs and some chickens to
sell, and the amount which they receive
IS considered as clear profit, allowing
nothing for the feed. IF any of them
would measure out the corn oats, wheat.
ETC., which they throw out to their hens
in one year, they would find that it
would come to more than they ever re-
ceive for their fowls. A chicken 6
months old has eaten its body out three
times, if fed all that it would eat.
There is some profit, however, in keep
ing hens when one has the necessary time
to take proper care of them, From -
to 20 is all that should ever be kept to-
gether. These should have a house,
roosts, and a yard, say two rods square,
or in that proportion. If more are kept
they should have another house, yard
etc. The house should be on dry ground,
the roosts in one end, a dry floor in the
other end, and between a space where
they can come to the ground (Which
should be Of dry sandy, where the hens
can scratch and wallow. All should be
well-lighted by slanting sash, where the
fowls can get in the sun in winter. The
nests should be as far from the roosts as
possible, or in the other end Of the house
from where the roosts are. The house
should be on a level with the ground
