POULTRY RAISING. In answer to the question so ofion ask ed, "Cancfowls be profitably kept on

large scale?" wo find an affirmative an-

swerJu^CjN. U. tyirror and Farmer. h^

John X- Iv^s of'kalein, Mass. In the'ory', it woiild jspfim, easyj enough In manage,

large numbers of fowls successfully, in

a given space, but in practice the results. hitherto, have not been of an auspicious

or assuring cliarater. Mr- Ives, however,

is of opinion that no real impediment to

success exists on a scale of considerable

uiaguitudc provided piopcr attention is

given to certain conditions, For the ac

commodation of oue hundred fowls he proposes one acre of grass land on which

are foe small shelter coops, as remote

from each other as possible—assigning

twenty fowls to each tenement. Paring

the day they, cau ran together, and with a little attention, at the outset, they can

be trained to seek thsir own domieils with

most others, while they arc regarded as I

superior to all others in the way of profit- I

In selecting the stock the medium sized fowls should be preferred, as they mature

early, and. with high feeding, will be

ready for market in from ten to twelve

weeks from the hatching. Fowls should

never be wintered more than ouec, aud

never be allowed to moult. The eggs, intended for hatching should be fresh laid

aud not allowed to get chilled by frost-

The thick shelled eggs should be prefer

red, aud not be piuced under the heu un

til she lias set one or two days and become

accustomed to and satisfied with the place

selected for the process of incubation.

The location should be warm. dry. and

fully sheltered from air currents. They should be fed corn for about ten days,

aud thereafter scalded meal mixed with

boiled and mashed potatoes. W'lieti the

cViets are first he-aril to ehrip the hen should be coufiued to the nest twenty

four hours aud the place darkened. At the expiration of this time the hen should

be removed to a coop aud the chicks with

the hen. At two days of age they should

be fed with a mixture of bran aud mash

ed potatoes for a couple of weeks, when

they will be out of danger and may be

allowed greater freedom of range. The conclusion of Mr. Ives is that fowls, in

large numbers, will pay if properly mau-

aged but if not cared for they become

an expense to the owner and a nuisance about his premise

The theory of perpetual motion, which has long been considered a Utopian dream seems at last to have been put in operation by that body which is humorously styled the American Congress. If something which never dies, and is always "-oing, is perpetual, then our Radical Congress has found this philosopher's stone. It is always on the move', and is propelled by that motive power which is known as wind.

Wliivc Uun Powder.

'rf-AVliite (lunpnwdcr. has been prepared

by Si-hultzc, a (iormtin chcuii-st the car

bon being procured from sawdust .without

charring. The sawdust is boiled for several days in a solution of soda, then

washed, steauied, and washed again for

twenly-lbur hours, and finally bleached

with chlorine, boiled in water, washed

and dried. Sis parts of the sawdust arc

placed in a mixture of 40 parts nitric acid to 100 parts sulphuric acid (made

I up at a finning temperature, and cooled)

in an iron vessel surrounded by cold wa

ter, and allowed to stand with repeated

stirring. The excess of acid is afterward

.separated in a centrifugal machine, the

acid, again washed and dried, and finally

treated with a solution of 2U pnrts nitrate

of potassium in 'l'i parts of water, and

dried at a temperature not exceeding 111°

Fah. The result, after sifting, is a very strong and quick gunpowder. We should

say that the process secins rather tedious

and curious than useful. A very good

gunpowder is said to be that of Rcymond,

called pyrotiine, made with spent tan-

bark in place of charcoal. Its propor

tions are by weight, 87£ of dry spent tan bark, to 721 nitruie of soda and 5(1 of

powpcrcd sulphur. The pulverized bark

is mixed in a solution of the nitrate, to

the whole is dried.

Tunnels for Xnv Vorlt Itlvcrs. I lie circumstances to be considered in

selecting the most suitable means of cross-

lnir Ivist and North rivers are such that, a

bridge would be enormously expensive,

tin list be very high, would be inconvenient ,,

on that account, and would greatly interfere with free navigation. Why could

not it tunnel be made, or a dozen of them,

if one should prove successful?—not like

.that tunnel constructed under the river 'Thames (at London), at a great cost of

lnoncv and risk of life, and built up of

masonry, but a simple cylinder or tub.—

one within the oilier, to give greater

.strenirtli and keep passengers within the

inner one perfectly dry—one eighteen .:

the other twelve feet in diameter. Such a tube would not, sink of itself it would

have to lie weighted down into a bed pre-

pared for it, and secured there against

the actions of the currcuts. It, could be/:

built in some quiet bay and floated down-

and sunk in position, anil would then be

liable to bo destroyed only by rust aud if. at any lime, in coiisoc|ueiH-o of such decay, tlie outer shell should be burst in-
