Poultry Management.

The careless poultry keeper is often
surprised by finding, early OH some cold,
frosty October morning "A brood ofchicks
fresh from the shell. The surprise can
hardly gladden. the sight of the owner,
for there can be no hope Of raising them
in the Indictment weather liza few sur
vive they are of small value, always
dwarfed and imperfect. This is the re-
suit of direct negligence Ii the fow s
had been kept in confinement, or every
hen made TO give an account of herself
Mt the morning feed, this trouble might
have been avoided. These are the per-
sons who say that fowls do not pay for
their keep, and they are only kept
around to please the women folk.
Fowls should not be allowed to steal
their nests. They are never so prof able
as when kept in conference.-the sum
mer in ample yards, aud in winter in
roomy, comfortable buildings. The eggs
can always lie found where they are
laid, and there are no late broods com.
ing off at the beginning Of winter.
| have frequently heard the indif-
ferent poutrykeeper remark that
1t is better,for q hen to steal her nest
and come off in late summer. Her
brood is then no trouble. and the chicks
are all pretty sure to live and grow up.
know better. Experience has taught
me that one early matched chick, well
fed and raised; Is worth two of these
late, neglected ones. do not leave it
to the fowls what kind or sorI of chicks
/ shall raise; | like to control this mat
ter myself / have a choice, and
know which my best fowls are. From
them only do make my increase of
stock. OF course fowls kept in contine-
ment are more trouble, but there is no
branch of farming that pays better for
the outlay than the keeping of fowls.
The stock must be right. and then there
will be found little difficulty, with a
steady application to the business. All
the fowls wants must be supplied. A
hen should never be set after the 10th
OF June, and not then unless it be on
eggs OF some small and earlyma,ured
breed. This gives an opportunity for
every feather to get full growth IN warm
weather, after which the fowl takes on
fat rapidly. Lean poorly-kept hens
will not lay, and lean, poor poultry is
not fit for market The rule should be
to give good keeping at all times and
seasons.-COr. Country Gentleman.

Influence of Food on Milk

The influence Of food upon the quality
of milk has called forth, first and last,
much discussion and in this country il is
generally conceded that food has very
much to do with it. The contrary opin-
ion, however, has some advocates who
base their conclusions mostly upon the
experiments made by DR.. Kuhn at the
Moeckern Agricultural Station in Sax
ony. 1t is claimed that he demonstrated
that the feeding Of q cow has not hing to
do with the quality OF milk, and the nee
essary consequence is thatswe can not
increase the ratio or proportion of cream
or butter in cows milk ny any change
OF food, however rich it may be. This IL
so much at variance with the experience
OF dairvmeu on this side of the ocean
that most dairy people are skeptical
about these experiments Curiosity
led to an investigation of the methods
employed in these experiments and the
revelations were not little surprising
The milk OF Saxon cows, If the agricul.
tural reports are tc be credited, is of re-
markable richness, four and five quarts
yielding pound of butter. We venture
to say that such cows are not to be found
anywhere outside Of Saxony. The con-
csusion is irresistible that the statement
in these reports. as well as that ofthe
Doctor himself, may be taken with
many grains ofallowance,

A COUNTRY THANKSGIVING.

Ay, good man, close the great barn door:
The mellow harvest time is o'erl
The earth has given her treasures meet
OF golden corn and hardened wheat.
You, and your neighbors well have
wrought,
And of the summers bounty caught;
Won from her smiles and from her tears
Much goods, perhaps, for many years
You come tribute now to pay
The bells proclaim Thanksgiving Day.
Well have you sown. well have you
resped,
And of the riches you have heaped.
You think, perhaps, that yen will give
A part, that others, too, may live.
But ifsuch argument you use.
Your niggard bounty refuse.
No gifts you on the altar lay
In any sense are given away.
Lol rings from Heaven voice abroad:
Who helps Gods poor doth lend the
Lord"
What Is yo1r wealth? HID have to know
To have it, you must let it go.
Think you the hand by Heaven struck
cold
VIII yet have power to clutch its gold2
shrouds have no pockets, do they say2
Behold, show you then the way:
Wait not till death shall shut the door,
Bat send your cargoes on before.
Lol he that giveth of his hoard
TO help Gods poor doth lend the Lord.
To-day, my brethren-do not wait;
Yonder stands Dame Keliy's gate
And would you build MANSION fair
In Heaven, send your lumber there.
Each stick that on her vood- pile lies
MAY raise dome beyond the sLies;
You step the rents within her walls
And yonder rise your marble halls;
For every pane that stops the wind
There shineth one with jasper lined.
Your wealth is gone, your form lies cold.
But in the city paved with gold.
Your hoard is held in hands Divine,
It bears a name that marks it thine.
Behold the bargain ye have made,
With US ~ the debt is paid.
No moth doth cat, no thieves do steal,
No suffering heart doth envy feel.
Ring ont the words: Who ofhis hoard
Doth help Gods poor doth lend the Lord
Go get your crg1es under way;
The bells ring out Thanksgiving Day!

TAKE HEART.

All day the stormy wina has blown
From off the DARK and briny sea;
No bird has past the window flown,
The only song has been the moan
TIE wind made in the willow tree.
This is the summers burial time;
She died when dropped the earliest leave:
And cold upon her rosy prime
Fell dowu the auiumn's frosty rime-
Yet am not as oAe that grieves.
For well / know on sunny seas
The biue-bird waits for sunny skies;
And at the root of forest trees
The may flowers sleep in fragrant ease,
And violets hide their azure eyes.
O thou, by winds of grief o'erblown
Besides some golden summers beir,-
Take hearil-thy birds are ooly f1wn,
Tay blossoms sleeping, fearful snWn,
To greet thee in the imm ortal year.

Romance in Real Life.

From the London Echo.
The beautiful and highly, cultivated
daughter of one of the proud old Roman
mobiles, the Duke of Gallese, was intro
duced to the Italian poet, Signor d. An
nunzio. Her kinsfoIk never dreamed
that lady of such great expectations
and high birth could T IN any risk by an
intimate acquaintance with man risen
from the lower ranks. The two walked
and chatted together, but while the
Young lady's friends supposed that she
was TALK. intellectual matters 1t turned
out that the conversation of the interest
ing couple turned in very different d.
rection. The duke learned. to his hor-
ror and anger, that his daughter had
dared to bethroth herself to the poet.
As matter of course, he re-
fused TO give his sanction to their
marriage, whereupon the lOvers
took the train to Florence, where they
were made man and wife. The last ste
made the duke so indignant that he had a
legal document drawn up, to which he
dislnherited his daughter; but the faith

came the aristocrat in him that he set
lied upon her for life yearly income OF
5000 Ire. The story has since obtained
an almost tragical completeness by the
separation of the duke from his own
wife. He accused her of having secret

Of allowing the lovers to hold interviews

has consequently broken mp his house
