A correspondent of - the Massaehu' Fetts Ploughman, who has been vey Successful in the poultry line, writes in the middle of January : “ 4 depend on sound wheat f.,r egers in winter; something better than wheat screenings. 1 give as much wheat and shorts, with a liftle cayenne pepper, mixed hot, the first thing in the winter morning, as will be eaten at the time Then a good supply of wheat, scattered, in chaff or old hay, to be scratched out during the day. And, if the weather is cold, corn is given at night. At any other time it is bad feed, from lack of nitrogen and albumen, if eggs are wanted. l: .-craps fiom the table, bits of bone pounded unburnt, refuse in short, leavings, animal and vegetable, all come in play, and are richly repaid in eggs. Pure water is given daily, and a con stant supply of ground oyster shells is kept at hand. If hens of the right breed —[ prefer the pure white Leg horn—have proper food and water, quiet,, a warm sunny house, absolute cleanliness and freedom from vermin, they will bo tame, healthy and profita ble. u My flock of twenty two white Leg horn pullets, began to lay the latter part of November, and during the past seven days, they have laid one hundred and seven eggs, or an average of 15 2- 7 per day, in mid-winter, v.ith the thermometer varying from two to fifty deg roes The highest number laid in one day being nineteen and the lowest fourteen eggs." Destroying Yellow Dock. —It is useless to try to get rid ot this pest unless you can get your neighbors in terested with you. I have been trying for years to get rid of this troublesome pest, but have hardly succeeded as yet, but in a manner have diminished it very much. V* hen the ground is soft in the spring, or immediately after a shower, pull it up by t v e roots and lay it on some log or brush-heap aod burn, being very careful after the seed has come to maturity not to scatter it. By this method you can get rid of it.— Never pull and throw it in the highway, as by so doing you can never succeed. How oft- n do we see, in passing through the rural districts, the highway literally filled with obnoxioue weeds which have been pulled for years and thrown there to reseed, and bv so dcing make it more difficult to eradicate? I always mark that man as unworthy ot being called a tiller of the soil. Get your neighbors to join you in this work and you must succeed in destroying this pest. Cor. Western Rural.

I Fattening Poultry. —The London yield states that poultry properly fed will acquire all the fatness needed for marketing purposes, in a. fortnight or three weeks at most. 1 heir diet should be Indian , oat, or barley meal, scalded in milk or water—the firmer is the best, as it will expedite the fattening process. They should bo fed catly in the morning, at noon, and alsu in the evening just before going to roost. A plentiful supply of fresh water—plen ty of gravel, sliced cabbage or turnip tops. If the fov'b ore required to be very fat, some trimmings of fresh mut ton suet may be ehopped up and scalded with their other feed, or they may be boiled in milk alone and poured over the meal. This renders the flesh firmer than it otherwise would be. Vv hen fit to kill, feeding shou’d be stopped for twelve hours or more, that the intestines may become comparatively empty. Watering Poultry— lt is the be. U 'f of the writer that many of the dis eases incident to poultry are due to neglect in providing them with pure water ; particularly do I believe such to be the ease in the majority of in staines where cachen cho era prevails The omission to furnish fowls with suit able drinking water is one of the worst features of cruelty to animals. It is a neglect that is decidedly averse to suc cess, hence temlsjo diminish inutv.du.i! fancy for fowls, and works detriment to poultry interests. Those whom we oc casionally hear say that “ there is no profit in poultry ” are not qualified to have me management of the same, and in their attentions may be classed with the thriftless and neglected parties who keep fowls that get drink when it rains.
