Green Feed for Fowl.

How to supply the necessary supply of green
feed for fowl during the wiscs is an important
question to every poultrysIraiser. We have
saved the clippings made by the lawn-mower
and cured them into a sort of chopped bay,
which was eaten by the fowl during the winter
with evident relish. A correspondent of the
New England Homestead offers the following
plan:
In the latter part of August sow piece of
rye quite thickly and by fertlizing it freely get
it about Is inches high-a green mass of veg.
citation. When frozen hard, just before the
snow covers it, cut it and pack it in an out
building, where it will keep frozen. In this
condition it will take no injury and be always
available tor use. A few moments exposure
to the warm air will fit it for feed. when it is
chopped fine and fed to the fowl. A free use of
this rye, alternating with boiled potatoes and
turnips, together with refuse cabbage, which
can be had cheaply, and pie nty of exercise, will
produce fertile eggs, and other conditions being
right-say, about 80 healthy, we'll developed
pullets with two vigorous Young cockerels.

"Truth" Gone Astray.

Do the Editor Of the BssalH: "Truth" tells
your readers that Fir NJ ithew's STANDARD O.
moral suasion, which may include re strictions
and high license, cannot allow to be inscribed
on it the fanaticism of prohibition. Fir Mathew
proves "Truth" to be falsehood, in these strong
words: The principle Of prohibition seems to
me to be the only safe aud certain remedy for
the evils OF intemperance. This opinion has
been strengthened and confirmed by the hard
labor of more than 20 years in the temperance
Cause" To include under his standard the Ii.
cense restrictive" or high license SYSTEM is
simply libel on his character and the grand
work he did. Truth had better study.

A Dose of His Own Medicine.

The common charge against the South is that
its vote is suppressed. The vote of Cincinnati
is palpably padded. Its vote is returned at %
per cent of its population. This is larger than
any other city in the Union by from 2 TO per
cent. Republican negro colonists from Ken
lucky and Democratic home repeaters probably
contribute about equally to swell this fictitious
total. The vote OF Ohio needs suppressing, or,
at least, COMPRISING. Four voters in Cincin-
natl should not have more power than five
voters in Boston or New York. We call for a
reduction Of the represe ntaton in the domain
of Halstead, Mclean and Sherman.
