Breaking Up Sitting Hens.-rhe old
hens may differ with you in regard to
the advisability Of Matching a few
more broods just at this season. To
change the current Of their thoughts,
confne them in a coop Slated on four
sides and the bottom, but having a
rain-proof top. Set the coop and its
prisoners in the poultry yard where
they can see the rest of the flock, feed
generously with cooling feed and
NOV them to a new spot every day.

Poultry In New South Wales.

From recently compiled official sta
~tistics. it appears that there are 121, 900
persons in the colony of New South
Wales who are poultry-keepers; the
total population of this colony is l.
81 ,440, so that something over 8 per
cent Of the population are poultry
raisers. At the last census taking
there were in the colony $780, COG
fowls; 800, 900 ducks; 344,000, turkeys,
and $4,000 geese. The annual produc-
ton Of eggs approximates 80, 900, 900
this amount Is not sufficient for the
local consumption, and is supplemented
by an import of about 3,050,0 00 eggs in
excess of the export. The statisticians
compute that the annual consumption
of poultry is 2,000,0 900 fowls, 275,O0O
ducks, 100000 turkeys, and $4,000
geese. Poultry shows are conducted
annually In connection with the agri-
cultural shows, at which types Of Sc
lected and pure-strain birds are ex-
hibited, there being a number of fowl
fanciers in the metropolitan county oil
Cumberland, who devote all their en-.
ergies to this business.-Ex.

Raising Mules.-There are today
thousands of mares throughout the
country unfit for profitable breeding
to any stallion but which would bring
mules Of the $35 to $50 class, and many
would bring better animals. The breed
ing of common horses Is o%verdone, and
it is reported that there is a greater
scarcity of mules In the South than
haa been known in a dozen years. II
looks as IL breeding them now would
be safe and profitable. But even a
better market than the cotton states
will be opened in Cuba at the termina-
ton of its war. That island, at the
moment of its pacifcation, will need
somewhere from $4,000 to $4,000 mules
at once, and Texas stands in a better
geographical position to supply thai
demand than any other part Of the
United States that has mules to SELL

it was the one benefit he owed to the
college. The president gave up with
his part of the argument all the books
Thoreau wished to take to his home.
The simple wild flowers might we'll
have seen with amusement Thoreau
rowing on the river which glided by
them, suddenly coming near the bank
and remarking to friend "There is the
flower, yes it has been in blossom for
five days." and with note book open
upon the quiet oars adding with entire
certainty the names of all the flowers
that would bloom that day. Truly he
was "a genuine observer of nature-al-
most as rare character as even an
original poet" said Hawthorne. mot
only we're the flowers his familiar friends
but he was also on intimate terms with
the clouds and would tell the pOrtents of
storms
The same writer also said that "His
disquisitions on natural history made
up from his own observations, gave a
very fair image of his mind and charac-
ter-giving the spirit as we'll as the let

ings "a basis of good sense and of moral

of such man as Hawthorne seems to
give us distinct pleasure as of having
heard the proper thing said in perfect
ly correct manner and better still artis-
tically, as when he regretted Thoreau's
departure from Concord for time said,
"He is one of the few persons with
whom to hold intercourse is like hear
