the ease with which they could be kept
in confinement rapidly made them IA
vorites. Indeed no other breed ever at
tracted equal attention or maintained
such high prices for 30 long length of
time. Even now men are mad for Co.
chins, giving in some instances as high
as $50 pair for fine specimens. Tho
principal colors bred are white, buff and
partridge.
In the illustration is shown a full
feathered Buff Cochin that was prize
winner at the last New York poultry
show. Aswill be seen, the shanks are pro-
fusely feathered down to the toes and the
thighs plentifully furnished with downy
feathers denominated fluff" The quail
ity of this fluff" and Of the feathering
generally is usually good indication of
the breed. If fine and downy, the birds
are probably well bred. but if rank and
coarse they will not be worth attention
as fancy or exhibition birds.
The merits Of the Cochins have already
been limited at. The chicks are hardy
in confined space, are tame and seldom
quarrel. They cannot fly, and low
fence will keep them within bounds.
The lrens are good sitters and mothers,
and lastly they are prolific layers. I'm.
fortunately the defects of the Cochin are
equally marked. The flesh is inferior tc
that of other breeds, and there is a great
absence of breast. The hen, while an
excellent layer, has desire to sit after
every dozen or score of eggs, and this i.
troublesome except where a regular and
constant succession of chicks is desired
Finally this breed is peculiarly subject
to prejudicial fattening, which, when mo-
guarded against by the avoidance of fat
tening food, checks laying and some
times causes death.

Thomas Cummings. was captain in
the United States army during the re-
bellion. For the past few years Mrs,
Darlington has been spending her
summers in the neighborhood OF Ken.
nett Square. and has long admired
the handsome property which has
such fame in literature. The death
OF u wealthy uncle. Boyd Cummings
in Philadelphia, some time ago. gave
her control OF handsome income
and this enabled her to make Cedar
croft her own.
1t is understood that Mrs. Barring.
ton paid $lS. 600 for tho property, and
IL is said that with the improvements,
it cost Mr.. Taylor over $4,000. he
having expended about $4,000 on the

acres In the tract, and the entire estate

The police authorities OF this city, as
well as those in other parts of the
State. and also in Southeastern Penn
sylvania, are very anxious TO learn the
whereabouts OF Morris Gooding, q
noted colored thief. Several weeks
ago he stole horse and wagon from
a man living near Newark. and drove
it near West Chester, where 1t was re
covered. He then raided a pig pen
and made his escape to Delaware, and
came to this city. He was not here
long until he stole II set of harness
from Samuel Finley, which he sold to
u farmer. Upon finding that the Off
GERS were on his track. he retreated to
Chester county, and put up with @
friend named John Miller. who lives
on the line of the Wilmington and
Northern railroad. While Miller and
his wife were away from homo or
Monday, he stole Sll In money. a lot OF
clothing, u pair of boots md two
razors from them, and again decamp'
ell. leaving no clue to his whereabouts.
Consequently he is badly wanted, both
in Pennsylvania and Delaware.

Ridicule and serious advice are both
bestowed freely upon youthful versifiers
to convince them Of what is usually evil

they are not poets.
Poetry, they are told, can only be pro-
duced by men and women born to gen
ius and is q sorry recreation for sensi-
BILE young people, who would do bettor
either to play or 10 study than to waste
time in making rhymes and sentimental
izing. All such nonsense should be put
aside, and if writing Is to be done at all
IL should be in plain prose.
In the main the advice is good. Real
poets are almost as rare as white black
birds. Struggling rhymesters who re-
gard themselves as the Great Unrecog-
nized and who think their homely critics
ignorant persons who will be confuted
in the distant future by the dazzling

Thevalue of the hay crop depends SO
largely upon its being harvested at the
right time, and especially upon its being
properly cured without damage from
rains, that the time of the hay harvest is
always season of anxiety. Clover and
orchard grass are the first crops to be
made into hay. From the brittleness of
the cured leaves of clover and the coarse
ness of the stems it is much more diff
cult to cure successfully than the small
er stalked grasses which constitute the
bulk of the hay crop. Clover should be
cut for hay as soon as the blossoms be-
gin to turn slightly brown, for the devel-
opment and ripening of the seed will
make the stems more woody and less nu-
tritieus. When mown, the swath should
lie in the sun until the upper portion is
partly cured. Then turn it over and
generally finish by placing into small
cocks until dry enough for the barn.
The less handling and stirring it receives
while being cured the better. In sea-
son of continued dry weather it may be
hauled in from the swath or windrow IL
cured enough, but clover will not shed
rain in an uncovered cock and is dam
D
aged by heavy dew.
! Timothy is the standard hay grass of
the country, and of the two is more re-
sistant to injury from wet than clover.
Neither one, however, should be allowed
to become wet from rain after it has part
ly dried when 1t is possible TO prevent it.
I When catching, showery weather pre-
walls, partly cured hay should be placed
into cocks and covered with hay caps, of
which every farmer should have a sup
ply. These may BIO made from coarse,
heavy muslin yards wide. and if
!. stretched evenly over the hay cocks and
edges fastened down will in most cases
be sufficiently protective without being
painted. Care must be taken that part
ly cured hay does not remain unopened
, in the cock long enough to heat and
mold Farmers differ somewhat in their
ideas about the proper stage Of growth
, in which timothy should be mown. The
; most common practice is to cut after the
seeds are fully developed, but before they
are SO ripe as to shell out while curing
! and handling the hay. As a rule coarse
grasses should be cut at an early stage
, and before ripening Of the seeds has made
: the stems dry and woody.
