the same period, consumed in the ten
days about twelve per cent less Of com
and wheat, but the same quantity OF
wheat and oats mixed.
The small fowls ale just about a
third less of either supply, in the ter
days it was thus fed to them, and these
latter birds were for the most part ten
to twelve months old.
All the six lots were treated other
wise alike that is, so far as allowing
them green food daily, in small quanti-
ties, and once week also an allow
ance of meat scraps, scalded before It
was distrub:ed to them-the entire
cost of which last mentioned provision
was, for the mouth, but trivial, as the
chopped turnips and cabbage leaves
were raised upon the place.
The grain was all purchased at mar
ket rates, and upon concluding this
experiment the following estimate OF
the cost Of this feeding was made, pre-.
missing that variety of feed is best
given to fowls daily. instead of limit
ing them to any one kind of grains
used in experiment, to arrive at this
conclusion.
The months feeding shows thai
fowls matured will cost-if supplied
with corn two parts, and barley. whea
oats and rye or buckwheat each one
part, third OF the food to be cooked
from ST IS to ST. IS per year, some
thing depending on the locality wher:
the grain is purchased and al-o on th'
breed. whether it consisted Of larg'
birds like the Dramas or small one
like the Leghorns.
The impression of the party who re
ports the above months experiment !
that this estimate though nearly aceu
rate in this instance, is under ratbe
than equal to the payable average COS
OF feeding poultry for the reason tha
this trial was made early in the fall
In cold weather when the birds ar
confil ed to close quarters. they viii cd
more as rule; and it is believed tha
for one-third of the year, at least II t
Is per cent more food, of the abov
mentioned kinds, would be eaten b.
healthy fowls.
THIS would not make a great differ
ence for the winters extra feeding
But If to the stated amount of cost 70
the four month, the whole expense Q
feeding will be covered; and this vii
, furnished fowls with a full supply Q
good, sound grain, at cash market pr
ces.
Our correspondent sends Us thIs re
suit to lay before our readers as brie
guide to those who would like to knol
pretty nearly what it costs, with meth
odlcal system, to teed fowls for yea
when not more than fifty or sixty bird
are kept on the place.

WENDELL PHILLIPS.

Phillips life was one OF the most
inspiring In our history. 10 was a
cnnsecrated devotion TO humanity, to
succorlng the oppressed, defending
the defenseless, and pleading for the
dumb. Eyes was he 10 the blind feet
90 the lame. By genius and taste
aud temperament he was singulHrly
fitted for the most brilliant success,
t.oiitical, social or professional. To
whatever was beautiful, sumptuOus,
refined, luxurious, even all the de-
tights Of scholarship aud lettered ease,
this urhane and graceful spirit was
adapted. But, like the old apostle
WIN preached only Christ and him
cruriied. he reuOuuced all delight Of
battle With his peers, all the prizes
and laurels of pleasure and ambition,
and with infinite sweetness, and with
no air OF sacrifice or Of reluctance, he
turned 20 know only the wrongs Of
his fellOw-meu. The lines Of Boyle
O'lseilly when he died tell only the
truth In fervid music:
"F.r his life vas osasri-ss protest, anl bis voice
vas prOphei's cry.
To D. true D. the truth aud faithful. though the
world Were arrayed for the lie"
His modest house, the strict domestic
simplicity, shared only by her whose
heart and hope and aim were one
with his, and Ia whose prolonged ill-
hess his home life WAS the most fond
uud devnted ministry Of cheer aud
intellectual sympathy, were all har-
mOnious with his chosen career. But
