They are fond of corn, wheat, i barley, oats, buckwheat, rye, rice, millet, boiled potatoes, and various other kinds of food. Generally, the cheapest grain may be used as their principal food; but it is better to supply them with several kinds. They are very fond of corn, and flourish well with this as their main food.

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. —St. Louit Time*.

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 the most delightful land. It is the easiest 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 sight easier to gather the crops !’ 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” BUSINESS DIRECTORY.

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 T If the devil growl at yon, Keep at Work; That's the best way to resist - If you hold an argument, You may feet bis iron fist.

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 find under date of May 3d, the following let-, ter: ‘4 From Cork in Ireland. This day one Michael Carmody was executed here for fel ony: upon which the journeymen weavers of this city (who labor under great difficul- j ties by reason of the deadness of trade, oc- J easioned by the pernicious practice of wear- ; ing cottons,) assembled in a body, and ! dressed the criminal, hangman and gallows in cottons, in order to discourage the wear- j ing thereof. And at the place of exeention \ the criminal made, the following remarkable j speech : .4 Give ear, O good people, to the j words of a dying sinner : I confess I have i been guilty of many crimes that necessity j compelled me to commit, which starving cun* dition I was in, I am well assured, was oc casioned by the scarcity of money, that has proceeded from the great discouragement of our woolen manufactures.
