anaemic or chlorotic character. The food
we receive daily furnishes the natural source
of these elementary substances, and serves,
during health, to repair the waste of these
matters through the Ain, kidneys, and oth
er exeretories, consequent upon the volun
tary and vegetable functions of the economy:,
hence the equilibrum is preserved. Inordi
nate use of particular organs induces a dis
proportionate consumption of their substance
and hence of the elements from which this
substance is formed. Excesses in watching,
thought, and muscular effort, for example,
by overtaxing the brain and muscular fibre
render the tissues rapidly effete, and there
fore cause an exaggerated demand for their
peculiar pabulum, as phosphorus and iron.

Boiled potatoes,
mashed up while hot, with meal of almost
any kind of grain, or with wheat bran or
shorts, and given warm, are an excellent
food in cold weather, and greatly promotes
laying. Changes in food are advantageous.
Hens prefer variety, as well as nou-feather-
ed bipeds. In winter, and in summer when
eonfined to small yards, bens should have a
small supply of animal food. Refuse meat
or fish may be given, cooked or raw. Scraps
are often obtained, fur this purpose from the
tallow dealers; but this is not so acceptable
to bens as fresh meat or fish, which may be
obtained at a cheap rate, or gratis, from the
fish market or butchers. Fresh, unburnt’
bones, pounded or chopped fine, are excel
lent, as they supply both animal food and
lime.
Hens need various condiments, Bitch as
lime, chalk, or pounded bone and oystqr
shells. Egg shells are also goofl. Lime
may be given in old mortar. They must
have some material to form egg shells, when
they cannot have access to the ground, even
if they have a supply of graveL They should
also have, occasionally, some green food,
such as cabbages, or raw turnips, potatoes,
or apples, cut in large slices, and they will
peck and eat what they want.
Though hens should be kept warm in win
ter, they should not be crowded together iu
large lots without ventilation, as they will
be liable to disease from impure air. In
mild weather, when the ground is bare,
they should go out in the sun. In feeding
boiled potatoes and other warm food to hens,
it should be given early in the morning, and
the grain should be covered up at night, else
they will fill themselves with that before
they get a warm breakfast. Give dry loam
or ashes to roll in.
With good management, generally in ac
cordance with what we have recommended,
hens will lay well in winter, if they are of
good breeds, and not too old, and are in a
healthy condition. If they do not lay, with
much care and attention, give them a very
little cayenne in their mixed food; and
warm, stimulating food. Hens often suffer
in winter for want of exercise. They .will
fly from their roost, eat their breakfast, and
stand almost motionless, and go to roost
again soon after noon, especially if they are
in rather a dark house. We avoid this evil
by covering their grain up in gravel, and
let (hem scratch for a living, which gives
them exercise that is conducive both to their
health and comfort, and to their laying.
One winter, we had right hens, which
were well supplied with water, grain and
gravel, but did not lay in winter—not one
egg in January. The next winter, we tried
what could be. done with the same liens, then
the worst for age, as they were mostly old
hens. They were in the same house. We
gave them warm food and eondiamats, and
buried thrir grain in gravel and old plaster,
and they laid eggs enough in January to
pay three times the expense for their food.
J. S. Saywanl, Esq., editor of the Bangor
Courier, in an article furnished us for the
Yankee Farmer, stated that from one hun
dred and fifty hens he had nineteen hundred
eggs in the month of January. This was in
the cold region of Down East. Numerous
other cases might be named of large profits
from extra attention in managing hens in
cold weather.—JYl E. Farmer
Too Highly Extolled.—An auctioneer
was selling a lot of land for agricultural
purposes : , Gentlemen,' said he, < this is

land to cultivate in Massachusetts—it's so
light—so very light. Mr. Parker here, will
corroborate my statement—he owns the next
patch, and he will tell you. how easy it .is
worked.’ < Yes, gcutleincn,’* said Mr. Par
ker, < it is very easy to work, but it's pluugy

A [ten Back Oat.
In a flourishing village, not more than a
hundred miles from Mobile, Alabama, live
two individuals, Whom we shall call Jim
and Joe. The latter is a quiet, good-natur
ed, inoffensive sort of a chap—one of those
who will stand « running upon” as long, if
not longer, than the most of men, but who
is a perfect « Bengal tiger” when h : s pas
sions are once aroused.
On the other hand, Jim was a blustering,
bullying braggadocia—one of that particu
lar class of men whose voice is always loud
est in a brawl, but whose feet have a won
derful nack of carrying him out of the way
of hard knocks. For a great length of time
the latter had made a butt of Joe—and time
and again, by dint of much blustering and
swaggering, completely cowed him. An op
portunity finally occurred, however, of
showing the two men up in their proper col
ors.
In the courseef yarmdispute, Jim let out
some oflbnmve remark, which produced a
more than ordinary caustic rejoinder from
Joe. The former tried the <» bluffing” sys
tem at once ; but Joe, as he himself remark
ed, had « stood enough,” and would <> put
up” with no more insults from his bullying
neighbor.
<4 Perhaps you want to fight,” said Jim,
buttoning his coat, and looking pistols and
bowie knives at the calm but determined
face of his opponent.
.4 Fight I will,” rejoined Joe. » You
have been in the habit of crowing over me
for a year past, and I intend putting a stop
to it at once!”
Jim could not for a moment believe that
his neighbor had the least disposition to car
ry out his threats, and accordingly went at
him louder than before. Well,” said be,
44 I've been trying to get a fight out of you
for the last six months,” and, slapping his
hands together, and commencing to square
off, he concluded with, 4. At last there is a
small ehanee of making something out of
you!-
44 Walk with me out of the corporation
limits, where 0 can avoid the law, and you
shall be gratified ! I’m not in the habit of
bragging, Jim, but it is my candid opinion
that in about ten minutes you'll be so badly
licked your own mother won't know you!
Come along.”
There was an air of determination abrat
Joe that rather staggered his adversary,
but he still thought he eoukl frighten him
out of a fight, and with that intention start
ed off down the street that led out of the
village.
» Whoop r s iid Jim, »I feel so much like
fighting, I can hardly hold myself P*
44 Glad to hear it,*' coolly rejoined Joe.
They had now nearly reached the corpo
ration limits, and Jim s courage, like that
of Bob Acre*, was outing out at every pore.
He had tried to frighten Joe out of the no
tion of fighting, but finding himself disap
pointed, he now tried to creep out of the
scrape on another tack. They were passing
the last grocery in the tillage, and an open
lot which had been chosen by Joe as the
field of combat, was in plain sight.
44 Joe—a-hem—Joe,” said Jim, nervous
ly, 44 can't we emaproause—a-hem—can't
we settle this thing somehow, Joe 1”

A Small. Horse.
The argument* may all be in favor of
great size, but the fact* are all the other
way. Large horses are more liable to stum
ble, and to be lame, than those of middle
size. They are clumsy and cannot fill them
selves so quick.
Overgrown animals, of all descriptions,
are less useful in most kinds of business, and
less hardy than those of smaller size. If
theory is to be resorted to in order to deter
mine such questions, we suggest to the lov
ers of overgrown animals, the following:—
The largest of any class is an unnatural
growth. They have risen above the usual
mark, and it costs more to keep them in
that position, than it would were they more
on a level with thrir species.
44 Follow nature,” is a rule not to be for
gotten by formers. Large men are not the
best for business. Large cows are not the
best for milk. Large oxen are not the best
for travelling. Large hogs are not the hogs
that fatten best, and large hens are not the
hens to lay eggs.
Extremes are to be avoided. We want
well formed annin.als, rather than such as
have large bones. Odd as it may seem to
the theorist, short legged animals invaria
bly prove to be better travellers than any.
Short legged soldiers are better on a march,
and the officers say they, endure hardships
longer than those of longer limbs.
On choosing a horse take care by all means
that his hind legs are short. If they are
long, and split apart like a pair of dividers,
never inquire the price of the hone dealer;
run for your life, and make no offer lest
you be taken up.
Horses that are snug built are not always
fast travellers. It is no easy matter to se
lect a horse that is perfect in all points.—
Snug and tough horses are not fast on the
road. The fastest trotors are not always
made for very hard services.
Precision.—The following anecdote, il
lustrative of railroad facility, is very poin
ted. A traveller inquired of a negro the
distance to a certain point. • Dut pends
on circumstance,' replied the daAjjsy. • If
you gwine afoot, it'll take you about a day;
if you gwine in de stage or de komnibns,
you make it in half a day ; but you git in
one of dese smoke wagons, you be alrnos' dar

Now that scarcely n civilized individualj
exists in any part of the world who does not j
wear cotton in some form or other, we may !
well wonder when we are told of the invet- :
rate opposition with which its first introduc- ,
tion and use in this country was met. Un- >
der pretence of encouraging our woollen i
manufactures, laws were enacted to forbid j
cotton being worn by gentle or simple, upon j
pain of fine or imprisonment. Cotton, asso- i
ciated with protectionist principles, has, a- '
mong other enormities, been the occasion of,
riot and bloodshed. Whenever distress foil j
upon the laboring population, it was the 1
fashion, not much more than a century ago, *
to attribute it to cotton. In the old time the
ruin of the country, and the irretrievable j
misery of 44 millions yet uuboru” were pre-:
dieted, over and over again, from the spin- *
ning and weaving of cotton. The most re- i
markable of these prophecies was delivered J
by a criminal from the scaffold on the eve of!
execution. He traced all his crimes and mis
fortunes simply to cotton, lu the Gentle- J
man* Monthly Intrlligehecr for 1734, we

ties by reason of the deadness of trade, oc- J
