Houses for Poultry.

Poultry houses may be either orna-
mental or useful, or both combined, ac-
cordinG to the taste of the builder.
Where it is intended to continue in the
business year after year it is better to
put up substantial buildings in the first
place. A very good poultry house,
which will last for many years, can be
put up for thirty dollars by farmer
who mas timber lot. Such building
would accommodate from twenty-five to
thirty fowls, according to the breed.
There are many good plans for poultry
houses, but some are better than others
on account of adaptation to situation
and locality. The chicken house should
be separate from that occupied by the
adult fowls. When new there will be
little difficulty in raising chicks. 1t
should be kept clean and dry. The roof
should be low and glazed Oh the south
ern exposure. 1t is better to let the sun
light in through the roof, as then the
fowls receive the full benefit of its rays
on the back. where most required.
The chicken house should have a
ground floor of light sand and earth,
raised above the common Level and pro-
vided with good drainage. This may
be done by paving with cobble stones,
imbedded in gravel, covered afterward
with loose earth. The roof windows
must be arranged to let down from the
top for ventilation in sunny days, when
the air becomes sitting, which is weak
ening to the chicks. There should be
some method of heating artifcially dur
ing cloudy and stormy days. This is
best done by coal stoves. With these
appliances chickens may be Matched in
March, and if not kept too tender will
be able to run abroad when the mild
days of April come. Eight feet at the
peak is high enough. The roof should
slope from this to four. The building
should be twelve feet square on the
ground. This is sufficiently large either
for raising chicks Or. wintering adult
fowls, if placed in a sheltered location,
or rather partially underground on the
north side.
For spring and summer raising OF
chicks it might be lower at the peak, as
the young chicks would run out iii mild
weather. The cold and stormy days of
early spring are trying to young poul-
try, and for these some provision must
be made. There must be separate apart
ments or buildings for adult fowls and
for chicks. The greatest difficulty in
raising young chicks under glass is the
lack of good ventilation and fresh air,
which makes them strong and robust.
OF the large breeds, or Asiatics, the
April chickens are strong and vigorous.
and less liable to the disorders that at
tack the later Matched chicks.-C B.,

Reads Like a Lie.

The Richmond correspondent of the
Battinaorean, in a recent letter to that
paper says: "a gentleman from Fred
ericksburg brings an account of some
what romantic affair, which recently oc-
Cured, and in which your city furnished
one OF the prominent actors. 1t seems
that young farmer of Westmoreiand
County, in this State, published a per-
sonal in daily journal of Baltimore.
proposing a correspondence with any
young lady who might answer to the
description given, with view to mat
rimony. No joke was intended. 1t was
answered by young lady of the Monu-
mental City of unusual personal attrac-
tions, and who stated that she was in
real earnest. Wednesday of last week
the young lady left Baltimore via the
Baltimore & Ohio Railway, for the
Lower Cedar Point excursion, and at
that locality met her matrimonial cor
who proved to be sturdy,
fine looking, prosperous Virginia
farmer. During the day they greatly
enjoyed the occasion and freely mingled
with the other excursionists from Balti-
more and Washington; but when the
crowds were ready to return this par
ticular two embarked in a handsome
sailboat for the Virginia shore. Here
they were met by minister of the Cos
pei, who speedily made the twain one
flesh, and from that time to the present
the large number of beautiful women
lately in Baltimore has been one less"

TraWling in the North Sea.

A trawl is a complicated engine, both
in its structure and in the method of it's
working; and it is difficult to explain
either without diagram. 1t is long,
funnel-like net, shaped like a jelly-bag
or cotton night-cap. Its mouth Gam
swering to the caps edge) is kept dis
tended by ''beam'' some forty five feet
in length, and at each end of the beam
are two large hoops or rings-the
''irons.'' that keep the beam raised
above the ground. From iron to iron
the uppAG edge of the travis mouth is
lashed to the beam. The slack part of
the edge is weighted by a heavy ground
rope" which keeps it dragging on the
sand. Such is the structure of the net
itself. 1t remains to explain its mode
of action. As the beam is dragged
along, it drags the net after it. The
fish. lying close to the bottom, are first
startled by the beam passing over them.
Some dart forward and escape. Those
that take the other direction encounter
the ground rope, beneath which they
can not possibly force their way. They
pass over it, or it is dragged under
them. and they are at once hopelessly
ensnared in the body of the net. Drag
an envelope, deeper than it is broad,
slowly over the table, with its direction
side uppermost and it's mouth slightly
distended, and it will sweep up the
crumbs in it's path exactly as the trawl
sweeps up the fish from the bottom.
The analogy will be more complete if
the envelope toward its lower part ia
pers to point, in which the crumbs
collect. To put down the gear, you first
throw overheard the pointed end, or
''cod," of the net. As the 'scod" pays
away the net follows it until the whole
net is hanging out in the water taut
from the beam, with its upper surface
(the back of the envelope) floating, and
the lower kept down by the weight of
the ground-rope round the lower edge
of the nets mouth. Then the beam,
which until now has been dashed tightly
at each end to the vessels side, is sud-
denly let 60, and the trawl at once be-
gins to sink. To the iron at each end
of the beam is attached stout rope
some fifteen fathomS long. The two
ropes meet in shackle, and are called
the .bridle,' and to the shackle Is at
tached large hawser, or tow rope,
called the warp which is slowed IN
the hold and passed out round cap
stan or sswink'' in the center OF the
deck. As the bride and after it the
warp are paid out, the weight of the
whole gear and the friction of the
ground rope and under surface of the
net upon the ground arrest the vessels
course; and. although all her canvas is
full and she is apparently making rapid
way through the water. she in reality
begins to drift away slowly to leeward,
towing the gear in her wake.

ICHABOD TURNER'S MISSION.

"Crooked, Crooked! Crooked" rang
out the sharp, peculiar, dissonapt voice,
and the tall, thin figure in seedy gar
ments and Tapping hat swayed to and
fro on the stump that had been selected
for a rostrum. ..All things have gone
crooked in this world, and I've come to
set 'em straight-to undo the snarls.
give the power where it belongs and put
men in their places Oh-h-h my
friends. The world is topsy-turvy; the
tops at the bottom and the bottoms at
the top, and I've come to turn things
right eend up
The six o clock whistle had sounded
the close of another days work at the
shops, and the men, pouring out from
the various smoke stained archways,
paused to listen. 1t was a motley group
some bedaubed with many colors
from the paint-roomS, some with grimy
hands and faces from foundry or ma
chine shop, while farther back on the
long platform that extended along the
track, We're gathered that inevitable adj
junct of any crowd, the boys, and a
sprinkling of women-sOme of the lat
ter with children in their arms. The
speakers exc tement seemed to deepen
as his audience increased. The keen
ewes under the old hat darted lightning
like chances here and there, he geSticu-
laced wildly and his voice rose to still
higher pitch.
Oh-h-h yes, Look at me! I'm
Ichabod Turner, and the mission I'm
sent on is to mend all crookedness and
turn things right eend upt'
The men seemed to find a grim pleas
ure in the harangue. They laughed as
they exchanged comments.
.sChosen a good point to begin at,
eh, Jack?" questioned one.
Ishould say sol He'll have q tough
contract, even if he doesn' 3 extend his
territory"
..Goin' to set all things straight? It'll
take -mightier than you to do that job.
/ wish to massy he'd begin it soonl"
murmured an old woman on the plat
form. as she picked up her bundle and
trudged on again.
The two men looked after her, and
the elder shook his grizzled head.
Poor SOUL No doubt things seem
crooked enough to her; her boy was
crushed between the cars last year.
Does seem as if somebody might invent
a way to get along with killing fewer
brakemen.
Jim Barclay, sauntering down the
long walk. stopped beside a bright
young girl who had paused for mo-
meut on the outer edge of the crowd.
eff that fellow would begin his work
by altering the days and nights little,
