FATTENING POULTRY,
The Experience Of Practical and Euc.
cesSfuI pOultry- paisar

WHAT TO FATTEN All the old. weak
stock should be fattened, keeping fol
layers and future breeders only the
early. most vigorous young birds, ae
they are less liable to disease; all the
runts and unthrifty specimens, fo1
they will never be worth the feed thew
consume, and all the surplus cocker,
els.
WHEN TO FATTEN. The time when
farmers usually fatten and market
their poultry is at Thanksgiving OF
Christmas, when the market is sure to
be glutted, and the prices obtained are
not remunerative. Very late Matched
chicks can not be got ready for market
much before this season, so the proper
thing would be to hatch earlier. A
lot of May Matched chicks sent to the
New York market last August Melted
us thirteen cents per pound, live
weight, bringing more per head than
they would had they been kept and
fed for three months longer. Had
they been O month or six weeks
earlier. they would have brought at
least twice as much. But most farm
ers have the poultry already Matched,
and these remarks must serve as food
for future thought and action.
How TO FATTEN. -Confne the poul-
try in warm, dry, well-ventilated
quarters, guarded against. draughts;
there should. not be over eight or ten
fowls together for best results. The
coops should be somewhat darkened,
and have board floors to keep the fowls
quiet and prevent their scratching the
fat of. Keep them well supplied with
milk OF water for drinking, and keep
fine gravel constantly within their
reach. Feed three times daily. The
first meal should be given as soon in
the morning as it is light enough for
the fowls to see to eat, and should con-
sist of cooked potatoes, turnips, squash,
or other vegetables, with as much corn
fii0f'i, VI q AiiAetstO VI Ouiiu COIH anu
oats, or occasionally little middlings,
as can be stirred in.
Do not have the feed sloppy. Add a
little salt and charcoal occasionally.
give cabbage or other green food daily,
and add little chopped onion to the
soft feed now and then, emitting it for
two OF three days before killing. Gel
cry fed during fattening is also said to
improve the flavor. Meat is valuable
for laying stock, but of little use for
fattening. The midday meal may
consist OF the soft feed and cracked
corn alternately, and the last feed,
given as late in the day as the fowls
can see to eat it, should be of whole
corn. Feed just as much each time as
the fowls viii eat up clean, and no
more.
With this treatment the fowls should
be in fine condition for market in two
weeks, and will give much more salts
factory returns than those that have
been left to shift for themselves. Cor.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court Declines
to Entertain the Gambiing-Debt Plea,
and Mr.. Wells VIII Gain $4,000
Thereby. s~
MILWAUKEE, Wis, JAM 11-Considerable
local interest is manifested in the Supreme
Court decision rendered yesterday morn
ing at Madison in the case of Peter Nc
Geoch and Daniel Wells, Jr. The higher
court reversed the decision of the circuit
court, which means that Mr. McGeoch
will have to pay Wells about $780,
O00 The suit is an outcome of
the disastrous lard corner collapse of few
years ago. which astonished and paralyzed
the speculative world. The particulars of
McGeoch's great failure are still fresh in
the minds of every body. DANIEL L. Wells
was silent partner of McGe5oh. The
present suit hinged on McGeooh's repudia-
ton of Wells claim on the ground that it
was a gambling debt

TEMPERANCE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK II. sAip7

The other day; when was out
To breathe the gentle gales,
met Tom Jones, the publican,
Who keeps the Prince of Wales.
What do you think he said, my lover
He whispered in my ear:
believe me. Bill, you're not so strong
AS when you drank my beer;
You are pale and thin;
A little gin
Your sinking frame would cheer.
Come along with me-" said he,
And took me by the hand;
Once you were gay and jolly, Bill,
The merriest in the land.
Wondered what strange crochet
Had got into your brain
When some one told me you'd resolved
Never to drink again.
Without it, Bill,
You never will
Be healthy, that is plain"
! did not say twas CANNON, love,
For that was not polite;
But this I said: ssWell Mr. Jones.
II am wrong, you're right;
Yet Notwithstanding all you say
About being, thin and pale,
/ feel I'm better. stronger far,
Than when took your ale;
For now eat
The best of meat
My body to regale."
also told him this, my love,
That which we called bed
The straw that in one corner lay
And crazy chairs had fed;
That now had a happy home,
Wen furnished and so neat
where trips about a tidy wife,
So charming and so sweet;
And children rise,
With laughing eyes,
Run out their sire to meet.
While thus talked of joys, my love,
That drink could never buy,
He took his hand from mine, my love,
And went away so shy,
As if he felt ashamed, my love,
OF doing something mean,
While felt glad and happy, love.
That so firm had been
AS to repel
The tempter's spell,
To keep my mind serene.

I. SIR GEORGE TREvELYAN, NJ. P, in
his speech at Carnarvon the other day,
referred to the question of the liquor
traffic He said that on his estate there
had been no public-house for thirty
years, and the consequence was there
had grown up race of people who are
as different as possible from those who
live where drink is sold. There is no
pauperism, and absolutely there is no
discomfort with the system. Thirty
years ago every body used to blame
his predecessor for his policy, but now
it is envied in the neighborhood. Why,
he asked, should not the people be al
lowed to do for themselves what he and
his had done for them?
