held under authority of the Provincial
Council of New-Jersey in l763 for the
benefit of Princeton college. The ticket
reads as follows:

possessor to such prize as shall be drawn
against its number, provided it be de-
manded within six months after the
drawing is finished. subject to deduc-
ton of fifteen per cent.

Elizabethtown, who held for several
years the post of speaker of the House

Minlsink country at Sparta, n. j., in

TWELVE GOOD RULES.

IF You Follow Them You Can Make
Pouitry-R Raising a Success.
1. Make hens lay when eggs are
dearest.
2. Breed stock when eggs are cheap.
8. Keep non-setting breed to lay
when settlers are Matching, and pay ex-
penses Of the latter
4. Breed as many chick ems as possible
and as early as possible. They all rep
resent so much money.
5. Keep all the pullets. They are
worth two dollars each as prospective
winter layers
6. Kill or otherwise dispose of all hens
after three years of age.
Z. Breed the best flesh-formers for
market Keep them up to as great a
weight as may be possible.
s. Well-fattened, well-dressed poultry
will always bring the best prices from
the best customers
9. If not accustomed to poultry, be-
gin with small number. Learn to
make success of the few. and then go
on with large number
10. Do not neglect the little essentials
to success such as lime, gravel, meat,
plenty Of clean water, green food, dust
bath. etc., regularly supplied to layers.
II. Keep strict account of every cent
OF expenditure and receipts Charge
the poultry with all expenses, and
credit them with all receipts. The
droppings at seventy-fv cents per bar
rel will go long way to pay for feed.
l2 Market gardeners and dairymen
are particularly well situated to permit
OF their dealing proftably in poultry;
the former have spare time in the win
ter, the latter are among the best GUS
toners in the city every day.-We.tern

POULTRY PlCKfNGS.

BOILED potatoes mashed and mixed
with cornmeal and bran makes an ex-
cellent feed for fattening turkeys.
WHEAT, corn and oats are good grain
diet, but fowls, especially the laying
hens, need some green food in addition.
SELL off all of the cockrels not wanted
for breeding. There is no economy In
wintering more than is needed for that
purpose.
GROUND or crushed bone is valuable
feed for poultry during the winter. 1t
can be given two or three times a week
with profit.
IN fattening fowls it is not good econ
omy to feed any thing OF the ground.
Provide clean troughs and boards. They
will save feed.
Now is the time to remember that 25
hens we'll cared for will return much
better profit than so allowed to take
care Of themselves.
FROM now on until towards spring
well-dressed poultry will pay better
than those marketed alive, but the
work must be carefully done.
CUNFLOWEK S0cu anu oOER mum oOCu
make a good feed to add to the variety
during the winter and can be given two
or three times a week with benefit.
THE Plymouth Rocks are compara-
lively small eaters and are good for
ayers. They are of good size, hardy
and vigorous, and are desirable breed
on the farm.
AFTER the poultry are carefully
dressed they should be hung up until
all of the animal heat is cooled out be-
fore they are packed to ship. A little
care in this respect will often avoid con-
siderable loss.
A RAIL pen covered with straw and
banked up on the sides with corn fodder
will make a comfortable shelter for the
fowls during the winter at a very small
cost. 1t is far better than allowing
them to roost in the stables or stock
sheds
A HANDFUL of inseed meal given in
the feed twice week will be benefit
during the winter. Mix and let stand
until it is thoroughly soaked. It's bet
ter to feed with bran or cornmeal. Some
use teaspoonful of Venetian red
mixed in with pint of meal made into
stiff dough and feed to the fowls as
preventive of cholera. The cost is
little and preventive is much better
than any cure.

Pulmonary niseases.

The lungs play most important part 10

they should be kept in good repair. Nature

are on record where the lungs have been shot
through with a leaden bullet and the wound

are affected. Frequently the lungs become

When the lungs feel sore and breathing

Borne Down with Infirrnities,

Age finds its surest solace in the benignant
tonic aid afforded by Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which counteracts rheumatic and
malarial tendencies, relieves growing
inactivity of the kidneys, and is the finest
remedy extant for disorders of the stomach

which old people are very apt to be af1ict-
ed, is promptly relieved by it.

BEFORE the use of Prickly Ash Bitters

Is the sad story of rany lives made miserable
through no fault of their own. Scrofula is more
especially than any other hereditary disease,
and for this simple reason: Arising from impure
and insu cieps boo1, the disease locates itself in
the lymphatics, which are composed of white
tissues; there is period of foetal life when the
whole BODY consists of white tissues. and there
fore the dnborn child is especially susceptible to-
this dreadful disease. But there is q remedy for
scrofpla. whether hereditary acquired. 1t is

COW is on grass, without dry hay. or
silage is fed instead of hay, the grain
(which should be ground) need not be
wet. But if the remainder of her food
is dry hay it should be cut fine, moist
