OVERCROWDING.

Every fall finds the poultry houses over
crowded, and even away into the winter l.
this the casee, until the locks get thinned
down by gradually selling them off, Or until
the bulk of them are hurried away by the
annual slaughter just before the holidays.
When you commenced ia the spring with a
few choice pullets and a cock, the house was
large enough to comfortably accommodate
then, but when the young birds are forced
to shelter by the approach of cold weather,
having entirely outgrown their mother's
care, the house proves to be far too small,
though but few breeders make any extra
accommodations for them, as they undoubt-
edly should do, to secure thea comfort and
insure their health If sickness once gets a
hold in sach an overcrowded house, scarcely
anything will stay its rayages until there
are few, if any, birds left. Eyen if they do
not die under such careless treatment, they
cannot possibly keep their health, and will
become sickiy or droopy, and lose much Of
the weight put upon them when they were
not in such close quarters, breathing the
fetid atmosphere of the oyercrowded house.

THE wIuTER's SUPPLY OF GREENS.

Now is very good time to think of the
winters supply of green food for the poul-
try, for it will not be long ere Jack Frost
will have withered up the vegetation, and
cut off the outside supply of green food for
bird and beast. Those who are thoughtful
and have the necessary land will have fine
supply OF greens growing. nearly ready
now to be put away tor the winter, while
others, less thoughtful or less fortunate. will
have to either depend en- purchasing from
neighboring growers their winter supply.
or else let the poultry 60 without. During
the winter all kinds of green stuff necessar-
lily sells high, and to depend on buying cab
bage, turnips etc, from time to time in the
winter is very expensive way of managing.
Those who could not or d1d not raise a SUM-
ply for themselves should now look around
for it by going to the nearest trucker or
gardener land engaging one, two or three
hundred heads Of the soft or unmarketable
cobbage on the stalk, which can usually be
bought at from one to three Or four cents
per head according to the locality and the
quality OF the cabbage.
In storing this cabbage never cut it of the
the stalk, but carefully pull up the cabbage.

with which it has been maintained by the ae-
ton and influence OF the jetties now in course

narrow space, by which greater depth Is OBJ

For years so far back that & the memory

The shiftinRs Cf the channel from one point
to another along moving sandy shore of five

ures of the action of every storm on this
coast. A regular series or system of sound

storm to ascertain where the new ch 'nnel had
been formed.
All this has been changed. Vessels now
drawing twelve feet of water can pass the bar
with as much safety as they can at Savannah

greatest benefits far from being obtained but
the good fleets that are thus early showing

SARATOGA, N. Y, July 12.-The National
Educational Association met this morning,
alternating with the American Institute of
Instruction, which met yesterday. Hon.
Gustavus ]. Orr, of Atlanta, the President.
gave his inaugural address. He said that he
was Souh herner by birth and education and
sentiment, and felt that he truly represented
the bulk of the people as well as the edu-
Gated classes, when he said "Let bygones
be bygones. Let the dead bury it's dead,
and let what has been stand. We will busy
ourselves with the present, which is
living. These are the sentiments OF the best
men OF the South, and certainly the people
OF all sections of the country will heartily
respond" The whole address was In this
spirit, and was very cordially received.
During to-day's session an appeal was
made to the general influence to bear on
Congress TO restore the appropriation for the
National Department of Education, which
has been cut down by the present Congress.
An auditor suggested that If it could be
gotten into the river and harbor bill 1t would
be liberal enough.
The evening session was devoted to
paper by Samuel Barnett, of Georgia, on
"The Foundation Of the Principles Of Flu
cation by the State" The exact INQUIRY,
he said, was not as to the Importance of
education, but the rightfulness of State
aid to 1t. This generally has been
conceded. Mr.. Jefferson, the head and
front of the strict iconstructionists, devoted
years Of his life to this great cause. The
principe has been Incorporated In the Con-
stitution Of the United States and of the
