Poultry Breeding in Winter Time.
Poultry keeping becomes every day more
“ . . ee popular and more usual in Frazee. Every one's attention is called to that inexhaust! ble source of small profits called the poultry
yard; and the French are reasonably aston ished to see that there are countries where this branch of industry 1s lightly egteemed, whilst others draw from it the larger part of their revenues. Whence arises this in-
difference ! Frenchmen reply, we are not accustomed to keep poultry. It needs more practical knowledge (says L’Avicul
teur), to keep fowls than it does to breed cattle; in order to make any profit out of pouliry, cne must have had a fancy for them all one’s life. This is a mistake. A{ few days of apprenticeship and a few relia-
ble rules of action, are all that are required to constitute an accomplished | poultry keeper; and enjoyment for the; work will quickly arise when the benefits|
are ovuce understood
busl
to be derived from it
Arrangement and materials for the ness are wanted to begin with, We venture to say that in the most productive countries the arrangements are deplorable; and that even imcountries where they
ms ay
peat to be sutticient they would increase very considerably if a few dollars were devoted to procuring suitable material. | During five weather fowls appear to get on
by themselves, no one takes auy notice of |
them; the hen takes her small family in the fields after the harvest te pick up what they can find, and the chickens take care of themselves, and cause neither trouble nor expense. This is the bright side of the matter, but if we count at the end of
year allthose who have disappeared, dead |
through cold or misery, the nests deci- mated in a few days by the morning dews or the heat of the day, we shall be amazed to find what a number of eggs have bee sacrificed and the small number of birds which are fully grown, and ean be got ont of those the season. If they cost little they realize ® proporti nately smail sum, and they only leave the farmer a mere nominal profit. Winter breeding, on the contrary, proves exceedingly profitabie to those who carry it on with judgment and skill A tine sent to market in March or April will be
three times as valuable as one sent in Sep-| A GR®aT rush for Prints and Grey Cottons
tember, and will not have cost any more. All that is required in order to rear it is a special arrangement, and this is, unfortun- ately, not yet used as it deserves to be.
Whether incubation be nataral or artifi- cial, the only difficulty is to keep the chickens after they are hatched, ina healthy and uniformly warm situation, and especi- ally to shield them from damp. In almost all country places the stable is looked upoa as the best place for the purpose. It pos sesses, however, one great inconvenience— the atmosphere is too damp; and if the chickens are kept there nntil they are three weeks old, without being allowed to go out, they usuaily get the gout.
For our own part, says the editor of the British Live Stock Journal, we must perfer to use boxes for rearing poultry, or, better still, to use artificial mothers.
The editor of that paper uses a box for rearing poultry, from which he have obtained excellent results. All the parts of this apparatus are movable, and can be adjusted without either hooks or hinges; they are simply laid one over the other, and are quite compact and firm. The pieces can be placed indifferently, for they are made to fit on every side. The whole rests on a wooden flooring. There is an artificial mother in the covered part, and this, besides serving for a refuge for the
chickens, is kept warm by the heat of the box.
The chickens have a large covered ran for rainy and cold weather. When it is fine the glazed sashes are raised and the chickens go into the air. The young birds cannot fly away. for they are confined by wire netting; doors are placed at the sides and the ends of the houses, so that the chickens can have their liberty as soon as they are sufficiently grown.
The great advantage which these boxes possess over all other contrivances of the kind w, that it can be taken to pieces entirely, and consequently need not be ia the way or get out of order when not in use. It is also so light that it can be easily moved from place to place. ’
The editor of the Live Stock Journal says : - It very often happened during last winter, that when we went to the house in the imorn- ing we found it buried insnow. Then after having opened it with a good deal of appre- hens'on we saw our chickens, which were not pechaps more than fiveor six days eld, come out as gaily as if they had passed the night under the best mother hen in the world.

Food at Sea—Cheese vs. Salt Junk.
(From the London Nautical Magazine. )
Any one who is able to find a sabstitute for salt junk is a benefactor to our seaman, and it would appear that such a benefactor has arisen in the person of Mr. W. Mattieu Williams, F. ©. S., who has lately been delivering the “Cantor” lectures for the year at the Society of Arts to crowded audiences. The substitute is cheese. Not cheese eaten as it is purchased, but cheese to which has been restored the proper amount of the salts of potass necessary to convert it into nutritious and digestible food. It is well reason why salt meat is unwholsome and not nutritious is that the salts of potass have been driven out of it in the pickling. It is now known that one reason why cheese is indigestible, is because the salts of potass originally in milk are absent from cheese.
As regard the relative nutriment in meat and cheese the Professor tells us that—
**Taking the composition of a whole skinned and prepared sheep or ox as it hangs ina butcher's shop, the amount of nutriment in it is about equal to one-third of its weight of cheese. The fat is about the same in both, but the difference is due to the bones and excess of water. Thus 20 lb. of cheese contains as much nutritious material asasheep of 60 lbs. weight and would have the same value as practical nutriment if it could be as easily digested.’’ ‘Cheese is the most portable of all food, even more so than wheat, on account of the greater value in a given bulk.”
Mr. Williams goes on to tell us that the commen English or American cheese is the best for purpores of food. Here, thea, we have in our inidst the most valuable food to be obtained, and it is not used simply for the reason that, owing to the absence of salts of potass, it is indigestible. Make it diwestilie by restoring the potass, and we ‘ave food for our toiling millions on shore, and for those at sea a food which will go far t» mot only nourish the con-

Here is the rec'pe, and we would advise our readers who «ce master mariner to copy it into their privace logs, and those who are landsmen to have acopy made for use in the kitchen. Cheese prepared as below is not only goéd and sufficient of itself for a meal with potatoes, rice, etc., but forms a

1. Cut the cheese into shreds; or grate it, or chop it fine like suet.
2. To every pound of cheese thus treated add a quarter of an ounces of bi-carborn- ate of potass. *
3. Put the mixture of cheese and bi-carbon- ate of potass into a saucepan with either three times its bulk of cold water or four times its bulk of cold milk, and mix well.
f Put the saucepan on the fire and
bring the mixture slowly to the boil- ing point, taking care to stir it all the tline.
|S. Having got it to boil, keep it hot until the cheese is melted, which does not take

gives a beautiful nutritious mixture
which thickens like a custard in-cool- ing. This custard may be eaten with impunity even by those persoys who would be ill after eating a piece of cheese the size of a nut, and is pecul- iarly adapted as food for all persons who work hard with either brain or

The proprietors have often been surprised at the receipt of orders from remote coup. tries, where they had never made au effort for its introduction.
The use for a short time of HaLy’s Ham RENEWER wonderfully improves the per- sonal appearance, it cleanses the scalp from all inipurities, cures ail humors, fever, and dryness, and thus prevyeuts baldness, Js stimwiates the weakened glands, and enables them to push forward a new and vigoroyg growth, The effects of this article are not transient, like those of aicoholie prepara. tions, but remain a long time, which makes its use a migiter of economy.
