Experience with Poultry.

An "Old Poultry Raiser" gives the
following notrs out of his book of ex-
perience in The Country Gentleman,
from which those of our readers who
ale interested in this kind of live
stock may gather some useful hints:
ALI sblack varieties of chickens are
poorly suited for market poultry. They
show the pin-feathers, and are not &c
salable as white or light colored fowls
Those with yellow legs aud skin are
more salable than blue or white-legged
ones. Asiaticss are among the best
winter-laying fowls, and the chicks
can be raised in early sprins, when
they command a high price as broilers
The small breeds are tender, and may
DIE If Matched early; they cannot stand
cold or wet Asiatics grow and thrive

The Successful Farmer.
Merchant. Mechanic ana Farmer

Merchant. Mechanic and Farmer.
Many years Of experience and much
observation have taught Us that two
things are absolutely necessary to sue
cessfal farming. The first requisite is
to ascertain, by experiment, what crops
the land is best adapted for. We say
crops, for the second requisite is prop
er annual diversity, which insures the
farmer against want OR that most-to-be
dreaded foe-debt.
Having decided what can be raised
with profit, we urge an adherence to
these crops, regardless. of exceptional
changes in the markets. Some years
prices may run very low, and discour-
agement will enter the mind OF the
farmer, especially if some other farm
product, not adapted to his soil. sells
for high prices. It is at such times
the temptation to depart from the
beaten path is presented. If the farm
er yields, the chances are ten to one
that he is ruined.
1t requires long experience and care
full study to learn him to grow any
given crop-cane, cotton, corn, rice,
etc.-to the best advantage. The di-
versity and rotation, absolutely essen
tial to success, will fully occupy the
mind and time of the farmer without
allowing any running after strange
gods" If he is growing cotton, corn,
oats and rice. or any possible comoina-
ton or crops, his whole attention
should be devoted to the cheapest way
of producing the largest yield. He
should never be contented with mod
crate yields. His land should be forced
to the greatest possible extent. for in
this way, and this alone, is there real
profit.
Ithas become fashionable to buy large
quantities of commercial fertilizers.
These are valuable and produce imme
date results. But they cost money,
aud money our farmers do not always
have. The far-seeiDg tiller of the soil
takes into consideration his future
wants, and clover and cow peas fur
nish the bulk of his fertiliZing material
at Insignificant cost.
The successful farmer does not at
tempt too much. He concentrates, anG
the more be does this the greater are
bis gains. He does not expect large
crops from his land without liberal
manuring. He recognizes the necessity
of constant study and watchfulness
In slang phrase, which is, however, ex
actly to the point, he does not "bite of
a bigger piece than he can chew,
neither does he "put all his eggs into
one dish"

! OFTEN WONDER WHY IT'S so.

Some fnd work where sumo find rest,
And SO the weary world goes on;
4 sometimes wonder which Is best?
The answer comes when life Is gone.
Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake,
Aud so the dreary night hours go;
Some hearts beat where some hearts break
L often wonder why Ills so.
Some Wills faint where soma wills fight
Some love the tent-and some, the teld
often wonder who are right
The ones who strive-or those who yield +.
Some hands fold where Other hands
Are lifted bravely IN the strife;
And so thro' ages and thro' lands
Move on the two extremes Of life.
Some feet halt where some fe-t tread,
In tireiess march. a ihOTny way;
Some stru lgls on where some have fled
Some seek-when others shun the fray
Some swords rust where others clash
SEINE fail back where some move on
Some Tags furl where others fash
Until the battle has been won.
Some sleep on while others keep
The vigils of the true and brave;
They will not rest till roses creep
Around their name above a grave.

THE presidential succession is a

ready to be passed which provides
that the members Of the cabinet, in
an order named, shall fill the vacan-
cy that exists when both President
and Vices President are dead or dis
able9. A house and senate ut cross
purposes are not likely to unite
upan plan half SO good, or IN fact
any plan at all. 1t would be re
lief, also, if some definite mode of
counting the electoral vote were de-
termined upon. 1t is desirable, for
obvious reasons, that this should
have been provided for by a cons
