RAMBLING THOUGHTS.

DEAR Sir: An acquaintance owned
little brood of chicks, seven puilets
and two cockerels. They were all
from FIVE dollar sitting Of eggs, and
were priced accordingly The lady OF
the house, out driving one day, saw a
bush with beautiful foliage and clusters
of rather somber colored berries. She
carried home a sample. which was
pronounced to be Whise or poison
Sumac, called White poison Wood.
also Dogwood. It's one OF the most
poisonous plants which grow in the
Northern States. Not beng a pleas
ant thing to have in the house, it was
thrown out the back door. Two
pretty pullets came along, and, see
ing the berries, with all the curiosity
accredited to their sex they tasted
them. In few days one of the pullets
was found dead; the other survives. 1t
is mistake 10 feed them to valuable
chickens.
Is it profitable to sell chickens by
live weight when near a MARKET Only
few days ago a friend bought a
chicken which weighed dressed three
pounds, and cost him eigh,y.four
cents. The price of liye chickens at
The time was fourteen cents. 1t must
have weighed not more than four
pounds alive, and cost the butcher per-
haps sixty-four ceuts.-a profit on one
chicken of twenty cents. The man
who raised the chicken might have
kept the profit, provided he had lived
near the consumer.
The prices of laying stock is not
any lower this Fall. i recently saw a
letter from man who raises Leghorns.
He had sold all the pullets he could
spare to parties from New York and
Brook .yn for two dollars each. He
could have sold a hundred more, and
was trying to buy at from one dolla,
to one dollar and half each. 1t is
very evident that the newly f1edgee
poultry farmer hasn't flooded the
pullet market vet. l have no doub
but some will say that they have
plenty of pullets which will sell for one
dollar each. To all such will sa!
that have no doubt but a small ad
vertisement will sell them. Tit
man who sold his for TWO dollar
each took some of his birds to small
agricultural fair and won premium
on them; this brought his stock late
notice and secured a buyer. Mex

POULTRY PROFITS.

A correspondent of a contemporary
sends statement of poultry profits
ard poultry keeping accounts OF
seres of years, giving not only the
rate of profit but some details regard
lng management. The expense was
less than one dollar per head upon an
average, while the net prof. has
ranged from minimum of seventy
five cents to maximum of $l.3o 1.2
The account is as follows:
Mr.. EDITOR: / commenced my
poultry operations Dec. Ist, 1879.
when put twenty hens into the hen
house. and opened my poultry account.
The average number kept for the
year ending Dec, !, 1880, was IS.
My feed was oats entirely, which |
kept by them all the time. Ireceived
from the IS hens, 1892 eggs, or an
average of 100 As; average price per
dozen, Is 20 cents; total amount re
ceived, Sal. 81. The cost of feeding
was $3.50, leaving profit of $ra OF.
Feeling satisfied with my first years
or eratioas l increased the number to
81, and for the second year received
44S4 eggs; an average of I4o per
head. while the Irice received was 20
cents per dozen. Total receipts, $74.
IS. The cost offeeding this year was
$4,000, leaving profit of $44 6S. My
feed this year was of mixed grain, and
with it realized profit of $3.50 Ia
per head.
In 1882 kept 90 hens. realizing
from them 6, 666 eggs. an average OF
III LOO. The price that year
averaged 81 TO cents per dozen,
making my gross receipts $11e.ss.
The manner of feeding was much the
same as In 1881, save that fish waste
and scraps were used in the winter
The expense for feed for the year were
$50, leaving profit of S6o,33.
For the first three mon.hs OF 1883
kept 100 hens and received 5,212
eggs, from which | realized $I3S. 60
The cost of feeding was SIS SO. leav.
ing profit of SIS. During this time
l tried to force my hens, feeding foul
quarts corn meal, two quarts mid.
dlings, two quarts scalded fish Oh
scraps. every morning, and wheat
screenings and corn for whole grain.
We are glad to receive such com.
munications as the above, not only
because they indicate a good margin
of profit, but also because they show
the application of true business prin.
ciples so necessary here as elsewhere
Such letters are interesting reading,
and we hope to receive many more.

averaged less than one dollar pei

from seventy-fve cents in 1850 to 81

NOT FOUND

Professor S. P. LANGLEY has beer
Enabled to find the recently-reported
"red-streaked meteorte, fly feet in
diameter" He writes to Science:
On the afternoon of Saturday, Sep
TENDER 26, at little after four o'clock,
loud detonations were heard over
considerable area OF western Pennsyl-
SANTA, and circumstantial reports were
subsequently given in the press of the
fall oil large metereorite, which was
described as being half buried in the
ground and visited by numbers of peo-
pie. On examination, these latter re-
ports appeared to me to be inbound
ed, and should have given the mat
ter no further attention but for the nu-
merous inquiries which are being ad-
dressed to this observatory with le-
quests for specimens. To settle the
question | sent competent observer,
Mr.. ]. E. Keller, to the scene of the
alleged fall near the West Virginia
boundary in Washington County.
After an inves igation on the spot, he
finds that no meieorite has been found.
A meteorite undoubtedly passed over,
and was seen by Mr.. Buckston and
others to burst In a southerly direction
from the town of independence. The
report, according to Mr.. Buckston,
was heard a minute or more after the
explosion was seen, and IRON. this and
the apparent height at which he saw
the meteor burs', Mr.. Keller infers
that the actual explosion occurred
twelve or fifteen miles to the south
ward, when the meteor was still two OF
three miles above the earth. In spite
of statements to the contrary, no frag.
ments are as yet known to be found

ed President at the period Of his cleo
ton to Congress:
Mr.. Lincoln took his seat in Con-
gress on the first Monday in d c. rS47

House of Representatives, and for the
long session was so unfortunate as to
draw one OF the most undesirable seats
in the hall. He participated but little
in the active business of the House,
and made the personal acquaintance
of but few members. He was at,en.
tive and Conscientious in the discharge
of his duties, and followed the coulse
OF legislation closely. When he took
his seat in the Honse, the campaign
of IS4S for President was just open.

When we went to the cloak room and

IN finding his short cloak, which little

after long search was unable to find
