The question may be truthfully answered jes.ty some, and no by etherä. The profit and Icstes frcm keeping fowls depend entire. Jy open the facilities of the basiness. Tüose fco have poultry houses constructed bo that their ccks cay be confined and liberate.! at will, sr.d have a facte for the improvement ol breeds, can make the business pay; but the fariaer who Laa no other conveniences for them than a pole put up in the barn lor a parch, and no picket fence around the garden, can net mak9 it profitable. He will lose dollars where dimes are receivid. ToäJs without care and protection will rot lay from November to April, and daring tl&t time esh individual Len will consume enouph grain to four times fay the value of ter tcdy, to lay nothing about the annoyance cf baying a flock of twenty or thirty plunge into the cra crib every time the lo:r is k ft oren for a few minutes, or to mount a bucket cf gTain if set down while in a hurry, and devour half cf it, or dip tfceir ret always tidy bills into a paU of miik which is set upon the barn f! oor while tilling another, and lacky if same overdrawn Shanghai does not jomp into it or upset the whole, cr having to clean a harnesj, fork and shovel tancles, bugry or cutter cashIeep, every time before nein them. In tbe tamcer about one dog and two or three boys are required to keep the hens out cf the garden and the strawberry patch, and drive tneni home from the neighbors; ani, ly the way, more neighborhood broila originate by keeping unruly and unre 5 trained hens lhaa from any other cause. The garden is planted and replanted, and although the feeds "corae np" the same day they are put in, garden eauca is generally lata and not verj abnndant. The man who loves tha easiness and takes pleasure in preparing good and com! ortabls winter quarters, and 11:3 up proper conveniences for summer keeping, can makepoultry be fie ess pay. if not carried on to tco greatan extent. It is very seldom tfcat any oae sasceec"s when poultry keeping is made an extensive businee s. On a small Ecala it 13 often highly profitable, but wh?3 the number Ij ir 1 ressed to a larce amount the propirti-ju-ate profit does not keep pace. What the cause is we do not know, but should attribute it to th9 inherent diinsulty cf fola deteriorate g when congregated in large numbers, rather than to bad manage nent. Let the nun who givs3 poultry no farther attention than continaally cursing them for their depredations, mark down tna amount of grain fed and deBtrojed; fruit stolen by them; injury dene in tbe garden; time spent in cleaning up after tfcem, and it the aggraate dees not amount to tbree times ths value cf all eggs received, and the carcases If sides, he may put na down as a fals9 rropbet.

Hen houses ehcnld ba well ventilated, btiilt frontirg tee east cr south, eo a? v? .catch the morning sun, and be kept clean, Tii6 ulopsr focd for all poultry consista cl a mixtnre of vegetables and insects. The grain fed them should be good and sound. Cooked potatoes, cat cr barley meal, rice and corn will ba found best, and, where they are confined to a email range, animal food must be supplied them. This is parlicnlarly necessary in winter to produce early eggs. The process of fattening poultry depends on circumstances. Yoang chickens may ba put op as Eoon as well feathered, bat reqnire great attention. Water should always be ieijt in their coons, and small pebbles and gTavel added to their food; a few red peppers ! Mill assist digestion. Early pullets should j be well fed, when they will begin to lay in tbe tprin.?, after which, being in fall lis3h, tbey are ready for the table or market. In tbis way a stork cf early ejus is obtain d when they are Ligh, and tne fowls are sold before they become poor. All fowls should be given free access to a heap of slack lime, ccal at Lea or fine sand, as they are prone to parasites end find a remedy in bathing in tbe dust, r.'enty of suitable fooo good, pure water and -well ventilated hou.sss will render the rearing of poultry a pleasant as -well as profitable occupation, and whan due attention is given these important points ctolera and ether diseases will not attask the poultry, Journal of Agriculture The poultry raiser of to day is prepared to cress families and iotrodace new blood into his Cock to as to produce more comb, or change the Ehapo of the same, to keep tha lees yellow, to give just the stale to taw hackle, give more breast and all that, and we hear it talked of glibly, but the laving qualities of tha birds are net taken into account. True, we hear each breed bragged cn as layers but see little effort to improve fitter one cf them in that respect by breedice for it. On the other hand, the tendency of the present mode of handling and pushing the new breeds is to degenerate their laving qualities as also their vigor of body. The admirers and breeders of Shorthorn cattle made the tame mistake in ignoring their milking qualities. Foultry. maturing in a single year, is easily changed in any of its characteristics. Fanciers are doing a gcod work in fixing the type of each breed, establishing a standard regulating the co!o: and all that gives the breed individuality. Their facilities in yardin? and communicatiers with each other enable them to do th'u effectually. Should not the farmers' wirH attend to the improvement of tbe lajlog qualitle, select eggi for hatching purpo3eo only front the beat layer, which are generally known to them? Experiencs teaches that it can easily ba done, and self interest should prompt the move in that direction. Motton . Wool. Journal of Agriculture. Borne of our exchanges hold that too much importance ia aUached to the prodnction of wool and tco little to mutton. In the yeirj ?cca by tbe greatest proht in sheep cams from 01T their backs; now it comes from under the hide. We thiDk tbe thoughtful sheep man will endeavor to hold on to both the wccl and mutton products of his sheep. and by . utilizing both to their fall capacity he will not find sheep raiaing an unprofitable calling. Tne attention cf the Western and Southern States his been directed to securing batter facili ties for tiansportation by double desked cars, bo that mutton is becomlrjz the primary factor in Eteep-growing. Many localities can net succeed in mutton production ai well as wool rrowin?. nence tne taer will retain their merinos, raise large Macks, and depend cn wool mainly, but in the summer and early fall, they can secure by the aid o reasonable rates of transportation some re turns for their mutton.

rates a Utile farm cf five acres. These fire acres, ProfeEtor Arnold says, conld be made to yield him (eo e learn by the New England Farmer) a goad living. Last year his com crop gave himjGj; his potato cro yielded but f ?5, btcauee the potatoes were fcabbv. The net proceeds of forty hens were Src.W. The acre of tewly-set raspberries gave fcim ?113; the root crop SOO. and tbe apple crop Si 50. Besides all this he aids from $50 to ?7 worth cf little incomes from the garden, fruit crop, bees, etc This account dcts lot Include cow fo"l in the form of eras?, fodder, corn, etc., for summer aod winter use, amounting to eaough to keep oEe cow half the sear. All this rcakis J0O from the tire ecres. He keeps but oae cov; wholly cn the soiling B3-stera, there being not a red of pasture Cn tbe place. The cow ii a very proötable member of the concern, and if men with families could reilize tbe valne of such an anircat, and C3uld believe that a cow and a pasture are not necessarily inseparable, far more family cows would be kept. One acre is in apple trees one or two in corn, manured fn pirt by poultry manure; one toraspberrie(Doolittle). grown chieily for drjing. It takes about two and one-half to throe atd one half quarts cf berries for a roni;d of evaporated fruit The usual garden c:ot are growing in abundance. Tbe Field Pea. ICountry Gent'.cmaa.I The f eld pa, if tound, will sprout almost anywhere that it can obtain a little soil and moisture. It does well on the' roughest ground, and hence is an admirable crop to plant tim on a pieca of new land, to ii; for hoed crcps. A larger jield per acre is obtained when planted in rows, like beans, and given one or two plow In go, and, if jcu chosss, one weeding with the hoe. The ross may te from two and a half to three feet apart, hüls tuecty to twenty-four inches, with six to e;ght pes3 in a hill. A half ba-ihel will plant nn acre. In Virginia we may grow two crops a year on the same land, but generally only one ia raited. This we plant in June or July; between corn, eay middle of June, but sowed alone, first part of June. Broadcast In the coin-field (as is often done), it is sowed at the last working cf the corn, eay middle of Jaly. The pea will mature in ninety days, and I thould think on crop a year conld ba grown almcst any where in the United States. It will doubtlets mature in Nebraska, unless the nights in June, Jaly, Ausust and first half cf Septembar are too cold. If the niht tersperatnre is cot too low for snccsseial corn growing, C. II. can grow the field pea. A Word to Sheep Owners.

This course 13 not only subversive of all proSt from the flock, but it Is an inhuman tr iüjent of the sheep The theer thould have been so fed all -lter es to have maintained their autumnal C33diticn, but if they have not, tbey should at once receive extra care.

Furity In butter and cheese constitats its chief value in the markets cf the world. It may be perfectly purs -after it has lost the fragrance imparted to it by the nature of the fcod taken. Any peculiarity of herbage or other food 4a imparted to the milk. Foisons may be conveyed io milk In food. The chief value of butter over any other fat cil. laid, tallow, etc . is the presance of grateful odor. This may add from 2 to 50 per cent, to its value. It does not involve 3 per cent, in the cost ot mmufactare. Fat cils have a strong affinity for odors. Milk, cream and baiter readily take up any scent that may be carried or held by tne air Ker.ce tbe necessity ot dual cleanliness ot every utensil, implement, apartment or tha person in everytmrg connected witn dairyirg. D rty cows, duty hands, the odor of the washed body, bid smelling stables, tbe odor of mcnure piles or garbage of any sort, the scent of cooking, illy ventilated apartments or any decaying substance or germs cf d:sease all these are readily taken up and carried in milk. Hon. M. P. Wilder. President of the American Fomologieal Society, has recommended by far tbe best and mcst convenient label for fruit trees: "Take the usual strips of zinc, put them in water for a couple of days and then by bems; exposed to the air a slight corrosion is produced; then write on the strip in a plain, bold hand with a good lead jeccil Eay Faber's No. 2. Don't be discouraged if tbe writing should be India tinct at first; it will in a few days hacome as black as ink. ranch eyelets lor copper wire to attach them to the trees." Fowls leit to themselvej never stand in a draft. If your houses are subject to a draft of air through them the fowls takes colds as readily as do p so pie, bnt with far grsatsr evil results. A fowl s heart beats 10 times each minute, and fowls do not perspire. All waste goes on by means of the respiratory organs. A cold, tnereiore, re salts m a ue rorccment of the mucous membrane lining thim, and distemper and ronpe M'ow as the result, as derangement of the bowels, re suiting in aggravated diarrhea or cholera.

He hesepreedhis lb-r and capital over 100 acres, when by confining himself to twentyfive or thirty he might have become happy cd rich. The way to repair euch au error is to begin with one field and get that into good condition, and let the rest lie, and so go cn through the farm. One rich ha d will then make it easy to enrich another or two; and while the bejinnlss ia slow, it is down hill werk, and as the end is nearly reached progress is fat and eaey. Ihere are two species cf artichokej the Gk be, which is not tuberous rooted, growing only from seed, the blcsjou of which only is used; tne other, improperly called the Jern Ea!em artichoke, is tuberous-rooted, and grown chiefly for its roots. There are two variety of the latter the white and red. Any lend suitable for corn will produce arti chokes. Cut tbe tubers and plant them in tbe manner aa for potatoes. They do not keep well if dng out of the ground. Ths a .1 a m . . tsuoi meinoa is not to disturb the in. as freezing does them no harm. The hoM will root them out, but enough tubers will always b s left lor next season's seeding. An investigation reported upon by Dr. Kline In the application of chlorine ai an air disinfectant is given in tha Scientific American. It wa teBted especially in sin dieetse. It is kaown thata healthy pig pi iced Ii tie earns stable with a diseased oae is sure to take the disease, even though the animals are carefully kept apart from each other.

Completely Cured After Nineteen Tears Agonizing Suffering The New York World eays: The csss of Mrs John Gemmill, a h'g'oly respected lady cf Milroy, MiiHin County, Pennsylvania, prtents a striking example of saiTirinrj and rratvelons cure. In the spring of . 1SG1 she was thrown from a wagon, injuring her epine. She was a fceiplesi cripple, unable to walk, from that time until the sp.ia of 1SS3.

Williamson, an army oflicar, and ex-United Siates Consul, the facts of which are confirmed by Colonel Williamson in a letter appended, and which are in sub stance as follows: Colonel Williamson, after long years of intense efTericg from acute rheuueatiem, and after using all other known remedie?, tbe btths of other countries and eperdirg $J0,C0O without relief, was cured by Sc Jaoob3 Oil, the Conqueror of Tain, and has thrown away his crutcbes, after fcavisg been a helpless cripple for years.

The St. Louis Test-Dispatch publishes the following editorially: "A remarkable case has just come to the nolica of a reporter of this paper, who, having been informed ot the wonderful cure. of Mrs. Thoebe Rice, 1,20S Madison street, a sister of Hon. II. Clay Bexton, Chief of the St Louis Fire Dapartment, visited that lady at her residence. She was very enthusiastic in her commendations ot the pain-relieving and curative powers of &L Jacobs Oil, which she said had accom plished more for her in a few weeks than all the otbf remedfCJ the physicians had recommecded In the rat ssren raw. Mrs. Rice made her statement withaut the least reuctahc- and very readily said that for the past Rven years she had been a eufferer froca acute inflammatory rheumatism, which had affected the muscles of the hands, contract ing them so badly she could not comb her hair, bold a needle or pick up a pin, ana rendered tbe lower limbs so helpless eha required crutches lo move. Daring ten months Bbe was obliged to carry me ngni arm in a Blirg. Physicians were called in, bat gave her only temporary relief. Some time ago one of her children was aiuicted witn a contraction of the muscles of tte lower jaw.which turned her month to cue aide. A few applications of SU Jacobs Oil restored the features to theii natural condition, and Mrs. Rice began to look honefuliy toward it for bcr own core. A siegle application, she said, made her a firm believer ia its virtues, as tbe cflect was instantaneous and sue was f reatly benefited. The continued use of it rouüht her to the happy condition in which the reporter saw her, vtith the frea use of ter limbs and in perfect health, cured She can now run up and down stairs, she said, ard her hands were as useful in every respect as they had been before sie oe?aa to snner. seven years ago. ur a oiess bt.

Mrs, itice has lived in this city thirty years, and her state ment, worthy ot all credence, is fully corroborated by her friends and neighbors and by her own children, who were laiiy CDgoizant of her helpleE3 condition before she began to use the wonderful remedy. Regard it a Greater Discovery Than Electiicltf. The Chicago (111 ) Times says: "Mr. J. D. L. Harvey, a merchant of high etaading.aud proprietor of the Pa'scs Market cf this city. states: '1 have spent $2 000 to cure my wife of rheumatism. St. Jacobs Oil accomplished what all the medical treatment and other remed:cs failed to bring about. I rezard it aj a greater discovery tban electricity.' " The above are by no means excaptional or isolated cases, bat from all parts of tbe world corce similar testimonials of tbe efficacy of St. Jacobs oil to conquer pain and relieve suffering.

Clowlrg Description cf an Interview by the New Bllnltter to Turkey. In Ihe appointment of Mr. S. 8. Cox, of New York, aa Minister to Tarkey, the Oitorran Empire will find an old friend. Mr. Cox visited and rxale the acquaintance cf tbe Sultan in 18S1, and those who have read his beck, ' Orient Sunbeams," will obz-erva that he is no etrancer to TmkUh cuetoojs. His viüt to the Saltan he describes as follows: "When word came to b9 ready for presentation to the Sultan there was aa unusual flatter around cur trucks and In our wardrobe. It was no ordinary occasion. Diinot the blocd of tbe 'Thunderbolt' run, thonh elngglehly, la his veins? Was ho not the titn'ar, if not the actual head, of nearly tivo hundred million of one faith? We pass palace after pa'ace below the Tower of Europe. It is a splendid picture. The Dolma-Eatchke Talftce is Corinthian, ard here, wben tbe Saltan Aziz was dethroned, fifty boatloads cf his women ere emptied cut cf tbe harem, but happily housed at the Seraglio. "We are received in a style worthy cf the spot. We are expected. We pa-s through the grand gateway of the quay and cut upon the street. We enter gilded coaches driven by gold-laced coachmen, who lisht cigarette?. We drive between hot, y6liow walls, within which era foliage, mosoues, minarets and dorre, until we are within the palace grounds oa the hill. Time precinc's are net rcmantic, nor is the palace oriental. It is marble and modern. No gazsllei are ambushed under roses; no fountains scad their apray to the sun. "Assim Pacha is an elderly man. He Efoors a little. He has silver Lair, aad not much of that, Mr. Head, the Consul, points out, sitting cn a red divan, the hero of Plevna, Osman Pacha. He is the Minister of vvi-. i: i3 built like General McClellaa. 1! ! ce is nnmia'akably oriental. His eye is b.'ack and lustrous. He is an equable, hartläome man. I caught his eye upon me, and htld my tat with a tighter grip and fumbled for a cigaiette. . "We formed in line behind the Minister and proceed under escort up ths staircise to the audience chamber. We p3S3 up between soldiers, line large Circassians in their native array, who look at us impassively. African enurchs, in rich attire, stand like atatues on the steps. Officers with side arms, and eoldiers with rifles are in waiting. We halt a moment at the head of the stair3, and lOGkicg wilhin through a large chamber, perceive in the grand ea'oon before ns a well made man of medium sizs and of serene, almost melancholy aspect. He stands alone. He wears a bice uniform, with tbe inevitable lez. He holds a sword cf golden sheath er d jeweled hilt. A rich sash is over his Shoulder. We approach in due order and make a fcrmal bow. Affer several rather elaborate bows from the Sultan's cflicerswe await events. Toe Saltan rai-e3 his dreamy, languid, thoahtfol eves and his sallow face lights np a little. Then the confabulation begins. "I confess to an enthusiasm for this monarch. He is a King, every ir ch, and without any dramatic ostentation, fcr I learn from our Consul that he deserves great regard for his rare ability. He is his own adviser, and th3 troubles and care growing out of the equivocal death of hia predecessor, and with the populations of divers religions and laces whih he rnuet reconcile to rule, he is net unworthy of tha fame ot Abdul Mejid, w!o:e memory la to me a part o! my earliest association in this city, whose praises then were on every tongue." Mr. Cox's be ok is an octavo volume of 407 pages, not less than 100 of which are devoted to flowing descriptions of the Eosphorus, the old Seraclio, the tombs of tbe Sultans, the howling dervishes, the Mu-:eum of Ancient Ccstcmes and the dead Turkish Parliament The Famous Temperance Lecturer, John B. Gcugh, Eajs, January 13, 1SS5: "For many years, Pond'a Extract has been my companion in my extens ve travels in Earope and America.

Journal One of Commissioner Ham's adventures at New Orleans is related by him as follows: "A little thing that made a great impres sion cn me when I was a lad was an adver tisement in rhyme, printed in the Maine Farmer, when it was pablished at Winthrop by Dr. Holmes It ran as follows: " czra niiman to nis irienaa. This humble notice, greeting sends!' "That couplet has come to mo a hundred times in the course of my life. With Mr. Whitman I was not acquainted, and it was such a simple thing that I don't see how it became so fixed in my memory, one t ebruary day, at New Orleans, while my thoughts were far away irom vvinmrop, a nne loosing, elderly gentleman, apparently about seventy five years of age, came into the Maine headquarters. " 'Are vou frcm Maine v laskea, as i asked scores of people. "'I am. My name is whitman, ne re plied. " in what part 01 Aiame co you liver "Winthrop. "'Mr. Whitman,' I eaid, do you remember a rhyme like thit: ' Ezra Whitman to his friend, Ihia humble notice, greeting sends ! " I guess I do: I wrote it,' eaid he. Well, how long ago was that printed?' " Fifty two years," eaid he, after thinking an instant. "Pretty good advertisement to lait all that time, wasn't it?" The pain and misery suffered by those who are al'licted with dyspepsia are indescribable. The distress of the body is equalled or surpassed by the confusion and tortures of the mind, thus making its victims sutler double affliction. ' The relief which is given by Hood's Sarsaparilla has caused thousands to be thankful for this great medicine. It dispels the causes of dyspepsia, and tones up the digestive organs.

"Oh, well.'-' eaid Maurice, after a moment's tboucht. "Jumbo's big enough to take care of himself." A Task for the Omnipotent. The minister, last Sunday morning, had preached a very long, parcbed sermon on the creation of man. and one little eirl in the ccnereeation was utterly worn out. After the service she said to her mother: "Mamma, were we all made of dust?" "Certainly, my child." The preacher, too? ' "Ofcourbe. Why did you think he was not made like the rest of ns."'
