When your bens get sore feet, or have bumble foot, it means that your roosts are too high, Use pure-bred mita always. A mongre1 deem:4 pay and Pews loss of time. Feed pbur sparingly, as it will cause rheumatism, or leg wealenees. Never give it in damp weather. Never bring a hen from another yard into your own, or you may introduce lice and diseage. Raise them, Giving water to °Melts so as to allow them to get their bodies wet is certain death, as dampness is fatal to them. A mixture of two parts lard and one part kerosene oil will remove the rough soabby formation on the lege of fowls. Always have your nests removable, and keroeene the roosts, (under and upper sides), once a week, Mating for the show room and mating to produce show birdare different. Qlteup egg fowls are mostly ground oyster shelle, and the benefits are only imaginary. Don't buy them. There is more in the management than in anything else. Everything depends on the poultryman. Give the hens leaves, out straw, or dry dirt, end scatter the grain in it, so as to coin - k pel them to work, The good scratcher ie always a good layer. Broilers usually begin to come into mar• ket about January 15. The highest prices axe in April and May, for chicks less than two pound e weight, sold dressed, and they sometimes reach 60 cents per pounds. Pallets do not fatten as readily as hens. It requires a little edema to feed Brabmas, Cochins, or Plymouth It Joke to prevent them becoming too fat. The more active the breed the less liability „to fatten. _ When you find a dead hen under the roost the cause is apoplexy from over -feeding. When your hens gradually droop and die, remove the cock, as he is the cause, especi- ally if he; is heavy, If a hen has the blind staggers she is too fat. When chicks grow very fast it sometimes causes leg weakness; but in such cases 'they have good appetites, and it is not necessarily fainl. Bottom heat, or feeding sulphunwill also cause leg weakness. When chicks droop, look sleepy, have a rough appearance, refuse food, and do not grow, look closely on the necks, heads and vents for the large body lice --not the little red mites. For warts, sore heeds andskin diseases, rub once a day with a few•drops of the fol- lowing e Lard, two tablespoonfuls ; cedar oil, one teaspoonful ; carbonic acid, twenty drops. Disinfect the entire premises when dis- ease appears, with Douglass Mixture, Which is made of two gallons water, one pound copperas, and one gill sulphuric acid. The reason the hen that steals her nest away hatches well is that she is not too fat, and every egg has the same vitality, but when persons put eggs under a hen the eggs are usually of all sorts and from anywhere they can be gotten. . To feed young chicks, give nothings for thirty:six hours. Then feed bread, crumb- led, made of corn mettle three parts, mid- dlinga one part, grdnnd meat one part., Cook well, and feed every two heurs, clean• ing away all that •is leff over. Mix the materials with milk if convenient, but if not, mix with hot water, before cooking. Feed no eggs, as they cause bowel disease. A3 soon as they are old enough keep cracked •corn and wheat before them. When two weeks old feed on a mixture of ground corn and oats three parts, bran ono part, ground meat one part, with a little salt and ground bone, the whole well wielded, and feed four times a day. Give all the drinking water they wish, but only the beaks must get wet. Give milk and also, chopped fresh meat three times a week. Chopped onions, mashed potatoes, fine-ohopped clover (scalded) or any variety, may also be fed. That is the Hammonton method.

In prosperity, prepare for secheesge ; in Pk versity, hope tor one, One of the greatest of faults is to believe °mei self without faults. No gifts, however divine, profit tilde who neglect to cultivate them. Thoughts shut up want air, and spoil, like hales unopened to the site. He that buys what he does not want will soon want whet he cannot buy. There is no one dee who lute the power to be so much your friend or so much your enemy ae yourself. Contentment is a pearl of great price, and whoever procures it at the expense of ten thousand desires makes a wise and happy purchase. It is a good rule' to sojourn in every place as if you meant to spend your life there, never omitting an opportunity of doiug a kindness or making a friend. There is no real success in any pursuit in life without hard work, It is not luck, but toil, not chance, bat well -directed labor, that makes life a success, Never be discouraged by trifles. If a 'spider breaks his thread twenty times ho will mend tt as many. "Perseverance and patience will accomplish, wonders. The droppings are worth 50 cents per hen a year. The best way to preserve them is to clean out the house every alternate day. Mix one bushel dry earth, one bushel drop- pings, and half a peck of kainit (crude German potash salts) together, and put away, in a dry place. Kainit can be bought by the bag at any fertilizer store, and is not only cheap, but of itself a good pdash fertilizer. In the mixture it forme sul- phates, and fixes the ammonia. If it can- not be procured, use dry land plaster instead, but kainit is much better. The advantages of an incubator are not that they? are always better than hens, but that with their aid you can hatch at any time yon prefer, and strike the market at the right time, hence an incubator chick may be worth four hatched under hens be- cause he brings a high price. More chicks can bo hatched in winter and raised in brooders, with onetenth the labor, than with hens. An incubator is as much a necessary part of a poultryman's Mita at a reaper and binder is for a wheat -grower. e have raised chicks in brooders to weigh two pounds (when forded in feeding) in nine weeks, but ten to twelve weeks in the aver- age time. Our brooder turkeys weighed five pounds when four months old. Death at Bay. Many inetauces are on record where death has seemingly been held at bay by the desire of the [dying person to see once more some absent friend who was hastening to see the sufferer. The le -test story of such a death. bed scene denies from the Aroostook Pioneer. A young man named John Harley, who was married lest fell, contracted a severe cold while river driving that terminated in run - mottle,. His wife was in Minnesota, where he Intended to join her as soon as he got off the drive. A telegram was sent to her and she arrived in season only to 'see her husband alive, he seemingly having fought against death to see her once tnore. As she entered the room ha rose in bed and remark. t"ed 1wanted tO BOO you and am new will- ing to go," After times few words were spoken, he fell non the pillow, turned upon hie tide and expired. Courtesy does for human intercourse what salt does for potatoes. Little civilities give a relish to social associations, and when practised they beget that habit of courtesy which is a second nature. When you go in debt you give to another power over your liberty. If you cannot pay at the time you will be ashamed to see your creditor; you will be in fear when you speak to him, you will melte peoe, pitiful, sneak- ing excuses, and by degrees come to lose your veracity. Every human soil has a germ of some flowers within, and *ay:would open if they oould only find sunshine and free air to ex- pand in. Not having enough of sunshine is what ails the world. Make peoplehappy and there will not be half the quarielling or a tenthpart of the wickedness there is. Revenge is a momentary triumph of which the satistaction dies et once and is succeeded hy remorse ; whereas forgivenese, which is the noblest of all revenges, entails a perpetual pleaeure. It was well said by a Roman em- peror that he wished to put an end to all his enemies by converting them into friends. Every schoolboy knows that a kite would not fly unless it had a string tying it down. It is just so in life. The man who is tied down by half dozen bloomingresponsibilitiee and their mother will make a higher and stronger fight than thebaehelor, who having nothing to keep him steady, isalways flound ering. in the rnind. If you want to ascend in the world, tie yourself to somebody. 1hr THE EOARITES. One or the Nese Outrider riceti sus ree. Plat in America, A Zoar (0 ) letter to the Worcester Spy says :—This settlement of 'German mystios and loommenists, holding all property aim. lutely in common, is a complete little king - dont in itself, The Zsaritee own 7,000 agree of lend in one tract, of which hell is under cultivation, while the remainder is heavily timbered with valuable walnut, oak and pine trees.

The only exception to this rule are coffee, tea, sugar and spices. The shod the Zoarites 'wear are made by their own shoe. maker, from leather prepared by their own tanners, from hides taken from their own cattle. The coal that warms them and cooks their food is dug in their own mines ,and is burned in stoves cast in their own foundry, from iron sthelted in their own furnaces, from ore found in abundance on their own lands. The clothing that covers them is made by their oveh tailors, from oloth woven in their own mill from wool sheared from their own sheep. The beer they drink is brewed in their own brewery, from malt made by their own malts- ters and hops grown en their own lands. All manufacturing id Zoar is done by water power. Steam is scarcely used at all. The Tuscarawas River, by means of dams, is made to flew with sufficient swiftness and volume to supply thirty or forty horse- power to ea"h of the Zoarite manufactories. Nearly all the machinery used was made in Zoar by Zoarite meohanics. One of their principal preclude is flour, of -which, after supplying their own wants, they ship large quantities to Pittsburg, Cleveland, Wash- ington and Baltimore. One of the chief places. of interest in Zoar is the great collec- ion of im mouse barns, in whioh the milk cattle are kept. A considerable portion of the Zoariteswealth is invested in their live stook, and they have devoted much at- tention to determining eehatu are really the best breeds. They ' lihve experimented largely with the Holstein, the Jersey, the Alderney and the Durham, and are now in- clined Lo favour the last named, though all four varieties are wen represented in their herds. Every sanitary and convenient de: vice that modern ingenuity has been able to suggest is utilized in the construction of these cow stables. The stalls extend in long rows on either gide of a. broad aisle, and the conditions for light and ventilation are of the most favourable kind. Already the cows are out at pasture, and it is a rare sight to see the mild -faced, patient creatures come filing in at eventide in a seemingly interminable procession, each one knowing her accustomed place, and ring voluntarily FOR SUNDAY CONTEMPLATION Ambition brealvetee ties of blood and for- gets the obligationOf gratitude.—Sir Walter Scott, e"I am. bappy, .because i have the entire possession of my faculties, a persistent love of labor, the control of my will and con- science, admiration for what is fiae, indulgence for what is silly, and severity tor myself."

About the middle of George IL's reign an Act was passed fixing a scale of fines ior swearing regulated by the station of tho of- fender. ,l'hus a eentleman was charged five *flange; folks of respeotability, but hot reckoned gentry, two shillings; while sol diere, sailors and clay labourers were let off with a shilling an oath. A second convio. tion entailed a doubling of the penalty; a third, a treble fine, or ten day's hard labour. We find three instances of conviotion noted in the Gentlemansti ltfctocr,int—in one ease a woman being sent to Bridewell for one:pro, fate oath; in another a countryman being made to pay thirty-two shillings for sixteen oaths; while in the last, the offender, who Was a tradesman and evidently a very bad man, was convicted of the flagrant offertee of extravagantly swearing beyond his means, by indulging in three hundred and ninety oaths, and it default he had,to pay in person and so was lodged in prison. to it without the slightest disturbance or confusion. Oa theenorning and evening of each day all the young women in Zoar repair, in merry procession, to these barns ank milk the cows. As members of Congress some- times are for a much Jess useful purpose, the girls are "paired' and to each two are as- signed eight cows, which they must always milk. Fancy more than thirty buxom young millinutids"with the good looks which are the offspring of pad health, outdoor exer- cises and good diet, speckling in their eyes,' lips and cheeke. Each one is tastefully dressed in vsell.fitting chintz or calico, and wears a white apron'which, like everything else about these most attractive young wo- men, is sorupulously neat and clean. The girls have the privilege of naming the cows assigned to them, and the name of each cow is painted over her stall. These names show that there is a trace of the romantic in the minds of the young women of Zear, the bo- vines rejoicing in such fanciful appellations as Lily, Maud, Ethel, etc. Another place in which to see the Zlarite young woman to advantage is the bakery, where all the bread and pies for the entire community aro baked fresh every morning. From 75 to 100 loaves comprise the average daily consumption of the town. The baking is done by men, but each household sends its young women to the bakery to procure its supply of daily bread, and carry it home wrapped in a large, spotless white cloth which eaoh damsel carries with her. Besides these quaint processionsof young women to the cow stables and the bakery, there is another similar one to be seen in Zoar on every pleasant day. That is a pro, cession of girls, ranging from 8 to 13 years - drawing in an old.fashioeed baby carriage a younger brother or sister for an airing. As all property in Zoar is held in common, so the Zoarities share equally and participate together in all their pleasures and duties. Thus even the babies ot the society are aired" simultaneously in along drawn-out procession. For the pleasure of the members of the so. ciety and their visitors, a miblic garden and a greenhouse are maintained in Zoar. Both are of considerable extent, and would be highly creditable to any large city. The garden is tastefully laid out, and contains some noble trees and. elegant shrubbery, A large and delightfully cool arbour in the centre is entirely concealed by the latter. The greenhouse boasts a fine collection of choice plants and flowers. There is no pro hibitory "No admittancelor "Hands off' on anything, and everyone is free to enter at all times and roam about at will. From the garden and greenhouse it is but a few ,stops to the picnic ground, a grove of grand old forest trees, in which the Zoarites havo placed swings and a covered dancing plat - torn for the enjoyment of their younger vtsitors, who, in summer time, wale in large numbers from surrounding oities and towns), es well aa from the adjacent country and picnic here on two or three days of aimed every weeks, MISCELLANE0118.

Mies Agnes Murray of Bridgeport is an eccentric woman, to.put it mildly. She is .very rioh, and spends her money in oddways. A year agoshe bought a fine house in Bridge port, paying $35,000, shut it up and has since then allowed no one to lite in it, though several desirable tenants have been anxious to rent it. Her country place is four miles from the railroad station, and' it is said that invited guests are permitted to walk the distanoe, notwithstanding that there are numerous horses and carriages in her stables. Miss Murray was a great belle in her youth, Lightning recently at Hansville, near Centralia, Mo., struck the smokestack of a mill owned by Carpenter Broe. On the win- dow of the mill the stroke of electricity plain. ly photagraphed the numerals 1888. Between the figures was a zigzag line.

There being no one about, Oaberne pulled his boae up, and lay in it till morning, when he ob- tained assistance, and had his boat conveyed into Boulogne, where it was subsequently placed on board the packet and brougnt over to Folkestone. When the matter became known at Bon- logne it created a great deal of interest in the town. The boat belonged to a boatman named 'Newman, who had very little hope of ever seeing his boat back again.

The Druggist's Coloured Jars. While a reporter was talking with a druggist the other evening a little fellow, clad in a blue suit, entered and bought a postage stamp. After getting the stamp he said—" Say, mister, what do you put in them big jars in the window ?' "Colored water," replied the druggist, smiling, and when the little fellow had gone he added —" Every now and then some little child asks us about those globes." " Well, I am curious myself. What is the full receipt?" said the reporter. "Those used by the better class of druggists," replied the drug- gist," "are, in reality, composed of mix- tures of chemicals. Some use bottles of coloured glass filled with water, but these do not reflect the light fromtho gas jets as the chemicals do. For red, the most common of all, we mix iodine and iodide of potassium with water. Some add alco- hol to prevent freezing. Blue is formed by a mixture of sulphate of copper, common, ly called blue vitriol, and water of ammonia. Plain bi.chromate of potash in water 'forms the yellow colouring, and green is made by a mixture of the blue and yellow, or else from nickel dissolved in nitric acid. A pretty crimson colour may be made by cora- binins alkanet root and oil of turpentine, and lilac is the result of a mixture of crude oxide of cobalt and nitric acid, Royal purple, one of the window colours, is made by dissolving logtvood or coohineal in ammonia or sulphate of indigo. Pink is nitrate of cobalt and sesquicarbonate of amtnonia, and amber is formed of one Rot of dragon's blood and four oil of vitriol, filtered and mixed with water.
