S 'arm Ma I Gups. . Avoiding lien lace. Those parasites breed and multiply hi tlic tilth and dirt in and about hen quarters. The manure, should not be allowed to accumulate under the roosts and on the floors of houses. It should be deodorized with dry earth or sifted coal ashes, or plaster or other absorbent and removed at least once a week, and deposited where fowlscannot gain access to it. This when properly attended to will be found to render t'ue task of keeping down the lice much easier.— The quarters include g roosts, nest walls floors and utensils of every kind, should be thoroughly whitewashed —say in vptil, July, September and November, i he wash should have some sulphur or koroscue incorporated with it, and if it be put on hot it will be all the better. Lt should be applied to every crack and cruuny, no point being missed. The roost poles should be removed, and all the bearings or points of contact should be especially treated, for it is in these places that the “mites” are most at home. After a thorough application of the lime wash, the roosts should be well smeared . ith a mixture of lard and kerosene The hen’s natural resort to lid herself of lice is the dust bath.— Where fowls are not at liberty to seek a suitable bath, it should alwayt he fur nished them in a sunny part of their house. It may consist of chip dirt, dry earth sifted coal ashcs.wood ashes, or a mixture of all of them together, with a little sulphur or Persian powder mixed with it. Even where fowls have their liberty it will he found bcneficail to give them a dusting place to which (hoy will bj sure to resort. It will never be necessary to catch and apply oil of any kind to fowls to destroy lice, if the fore going suggestions arc put into practice. But where, from neglect or carelessness the poultry are infested, in may be ad visable—in order to destroy as soon as possible all traces of vermin—to apply some unguent or poison to the bodies of the fowls. For the purpose we would vise a mixture of lard and coal oil,heat ed together until thoroughly mixed as the cheapest and most convenient ar'i elo to uso. If thought best a little sul phur may be mixed into the compound To apply it catch the fowls at night and with the finger smear a littleon the head and under the lower mandible: then put a small quantity under each wing, and rub it in so that it will roach the skin; repeat the same operation between the body and thighs aud about 'ho root of the tail. One operation if thoroughly performed, will be sufficient. The complaint that poul try keeping is unprofitable generally c./tncs from the parties who neglect the small details of the business which arc so important in the comfort and profita bleness of ihe flock. If the foregoing directions arc put into praclico there will be little to apprehend on the score of He .'.—Practical Farmer. - fultivatiou in Season* The folliwing cannot be too strongly enforced : “With a press of work often the cub ovation of hoed crops is put off until the weeds have overshadow the crop. This is a mistake. Every weed not destroyed is sapping the giound of the nutriment that is just in the best con dition for the growing plant but if the weed is destroyed as it comes out of the ground it has ag yet only taken its nutrition from its own seed. Again, a single motion when weeds are tiny, will destroy hundreds, where, if allowed to remain some timo longer, each individ ual specimen will require the same efr ibrt. Here is where tho stroke in time saves ninety-nine or more. This is most emphatically true in the growth of on ions, and other crops closely sown which require hand work entirely. In case of potatoes the plan of harrowing after planting and before they aro far advan ced is growing in favor. This allows tho crop to havo a good start of the weeds, and tho potatoes are not in the least injured by tho harrow.” — Detroit Free Press. Wliy i>o Young Men I.cave the Farm, Wo have answers without number, complaints without end, warning innu merable not to do so, but still the exo dus goes on. The abstract argument is lar !y on tho side of the deprccators.— Country life though by no means what it might be, is more wholesome, phyr.C cally than that of towns. Farm life however dull and dreary its drudgery generally is mere independent than any commercial, or than most mechani fiul jvurcmld What must we do ? If we would to tain our young men in the simpler more healthful and'better life of the country, we must not only make our farm houses more pleasant and attractive, as many have already insisted, but we must place our calling on a paying basis. We must educate ourselves. Wc must know more than how to read, write and cipher.— We ufust know our relations to the world as the great great producers pud cousu iners, aud understand the cost of the pro ducts of those with whom we exchange. —Lx. WiriilN fifteen years Turkey has been brought, by means of continuous borrow in:*, to owe two hundred and sixty-seven millions of Turkish pounds, bearing an uverago interest of nine per cent, per an num. The country only produces an in come of twenty milUon Turkish pounds per annum, and this income is every year decreasing. Buttermilk For Poultry.—Ma ny breeders recommend buttermilk as a drink for poultry. It if. said to be an egg producers, and that it fattens. We know that poultry aro exceedingly fond of it and drink it with avidity. We adyise farmers who have not tried it to give it a trial. Salt ia good for poultry when mixed in with their mash of scalded meal,boil o.l vegetables or cooked food of any kind but salt is very injurious if much is ca t/;n raw THE NEW FAMILY SIGNER Sewinci Machine. WITH ATTACHMENTS For All Kinds of Work, is fast winning favor in the household, as shown hy the rapidly increasing sales. This New Family Machine is capa ble of a range and variety of work such a was once thought impossible to perform by machinery, We claim and can show that it is the clicapect, most beautiful, delicately arranged, nicely adjusted, easily operated, and smoothly running of all the family sewing machines. It k remarkable, not. only for the range and variety of its sew ing, but also for the variety and different kinds of texture widen it will sew with equal facility and perfection, using silk twist, linen, or cotton thread, fine or coarse, making the inter-elastic lock stitch, alike on both sides of the fabric sewn. Thus, beaver cloth, or leather, may be sewn with great strength and uniformity of stitch , and,i n a moment, this willing-and never wearying instrument may be adjusted for fine work On gauze or gossamer tissue, or motuckingi of tarlatan, or ruffling, or al most any other work which delicate fingers have been known to perform. Ours having long been the popular and practical machines for manufacturing pur poses, some dealers, using *• the tricks of trade,” take advantage of this in trying to persuade purchasers that our Family Ma chine is not equal, for family sewing to our Manufacturing Machines for manufacturing purposes. But purchasers—and they are apt to examine carefully before choosing— have not been merely persuaded, but con vinced that our new family machine embod ies new and essential principles—simplicity of construction ; ease of operation ; uni formity of precise action at any speed ; ca pacity fornngc and variety of work, line or coarse —leaving all rivals behind it. Machine Sales of 1874. Tho table of sewing machine sales for 1871 show that our sales for that year amounted to 211,097 machines, being a targe increase over the sales of the previ ous year. The fable shows that our sales exceed those of any other company for the period named, hy the number of 148,852 machines, nearly Three Times Those of any other Com pany. ft may be further stated that the sales of 1873, as compared with the sale, of i872, show a relatively large increase beyond the sales of other makers. For instance, in 1872 wo sold 45,000 more machines than any other company ; whereas, in 1873, the sales were An \ in 1971 our sales were . 148,852 Mach mo sMore Than A 2 O t lies} ■Company, OFFICIAL REPORT.

A careful examination of the figures will show that the “SINGEii” have largely in creased each year, while, on the contrary, a corresponding decrease is shown in the sales reported by all other companies.
