Making Poultry Profitab BILE.

There is probably no more seductive
business connected with farming than is
the growing of poultry and eggs for mar
kct. Neither is there any in which dis
appointment is not more certain to over
take the beginner who has not prepared
for his work by previous experience.
The greatest trouble with the amateur
is his tendency to do too much with
small capital and on too small grounds.
However poultry may be fed with pur-
chased food, they need at least quarter
of an acre for each fifty fowls, and this
must be SO situated that it can be
ploWed, sown with grain and scratched
for worms and insects throughout the
growing, season. Only a small part Of
the feed will be grown on this quarter
Of an acre. Its value will consist rather
in the insect and vegetable food it will
furnish, and in giving enough surface
to scratch over, so that the soil will not
become poisoned by the excrement Of
fowls, which is the fruitful source of
disease in small yards. Yet by sowing
oats or wheat on this limited area it will
provide both grain and insects for the
nutriment of the fowls, with enough of
growing grain to make them digest their
food well. If to. this be added rations
of fresh-ground bone, it will not need
more to secure profitable returns. But
in no case should more than fifty fowls
be kept OH One-quarter of an acre

ATTACK on THE MILL.

they could carry their corn and have it
ground into meal. There was a small
settlement near the MILL but there were
not enough men to protect the property,
and so twelve soldiers had been detailed
from the Continental army to do duty
as guard every night until the press
ing necessities of the forts and scattered
settlers had been supplied.
The soldiers had been there now for a
week, and, as no signs of an attack had
appeared, they were becoming tired of
the monotonous life. The wildncss of
the region and the novelty Of their duties
at first had been sufficient to interest
them, but now they were eager to ,eturl
to the forts. and such words as these we
have quoted were frequently heard.
But at the very time when Cox and
Skinner were complaining to each ether
a band of Indians and Tories We're NOV
ing against the hills in the darkness, and
their destination was Ellis mill on the
Mohawk. Perhaps Johnson had s1me
he had so easily parted; and if his band
should succeed, there would certainly be
no haggling about the price to be paid,
for Ellis would be a prisoner, unless, in
deed. he fell in the defense, which it was
we'll known he would attempt.
Tories. stealthily made their way
through the darkness. They were ia
miliar with every foot Of the ground, and
the dim light Of the waning moon was
| all they needed On they moved, past
the few scattered log houses in which
the hardy patriots dwelt. They had no
time and but slight disposition to trou-
BILE them now, for most Of the men
were were in the army; and as for supplies,
stripped already. Besides, if the expe-
ditiOn against the mill should be sue

the noise of the waters and the shouts OF
| the men. The entire place grew bright
and the timbcrs began TO crack and fall
The windows fell, and in the free1
draught the flames mounted higher and
higher.
''The winds the other way. That's
our only hope whispered Cox. I'll
the mill falls it'll be apt to go the other
way. If it should fall this way -"
But a groan was the only reply of his
companion. How CHASTITY their faces
were in the light of the flames. Eacl
thought he would scarcely have recog
ly see the faces Of the men they had left
in the mill-racc. They would gladly have
come to them now, but their only hope
lay i'll their escaping the notice of the
band. and any movement Oh their par
would surely be seen. They must re-
main where they were, while all around
them fell the glowing embers.
But suddenly the hearts of Cox and
Skinner almost stood still There came
yell louder than before from the In
dams, who were now seen gathering by
the raceway and running along it's side
Had they been discovered? They tried
to shrink farther back under the wheel
But after 4 moment they saw that theil
two companions were the objects of the
discovered in their hiding place.
'Come up out of there" shouted q
Tory. "Colne up and we'll roast you
You'll boil where you are"
A loud laugh greeted his words, but

sides form the foundation of many

we have quoted occurred in the sum-

reasons why the patriots wished to pro-
tect Ellis and the property, which few
years before he had acquired by patent
from Sir William Johnson.

And my eyes will ofttlmes I'LL
AS see that brook and wonder
Whether children play there still.
Do they search the tangled thicket
And learn where blackberries grow?
Do they swing on supple branches
Like the children Of long ago;
Go up and down ana back and forth,
While their shouts the sweet air fill.
And their young breasts with happy sense
or daring adventure thrill?
Oh. the years are many since freight
Made the pictures on the wall
Valleys and hills, and peopled them,
And many castle tall.
Thoughts may travel through years and

And often dwell there still,
And live once more the care-free days
or my childhood on the hill.
