There is a class a farmers wto are
constantly on the lookout for a better
place to go to. Their farms are always
"for 'ale," and they dream of luxuriant
lands ia some other part of the country
whicli can be bought "for a• song,"
where they imagine they would be more
prosperous, and enjoy life better than
whore they now reside. Many of these
Then own mortgaged farms; andfor
such 113,01-1 to desire to remove where
• they can awn a free farm, though it be
far, far away,. is but a natural manifeg-
tatioi. to better one's condition which
the human mind cannot resist. But
where can these men go, after selling
their farms, and. be contented? This is
ai serious question, which no man can
answer of lxis own knowledge. Suppose
they can, sell out and conamand $1,000
or $1,500 after paying all their debts,
and they start for "the West,"liansas,
lilissouri, Iowa, or some other State.
Eighty acres of land, with & comfor-
table house or tog cabin, on it, can be
bought for from $5 to $10 per acre. The
land is all right, as good as "lies out of
doors ;" but, alas, for the surroundings.
Neighbors are scarce, society is a, rayth,
and the poor, frail housewife who fol-
lows her husband without a reurraut
pines for friends. The children have to
- go two miles or further to school, and
in the Whiter time they cannot attend
much of the time on accouut af the
storms. Churches are "few and far
between," and the people are generally-
& mixture, of various nations, and the
result of kg is that many an Eastern
farmer who goes West is unhappy and
wishes himself back to his old home-
stead. So if one goes Sauty or any-
where, he will not find things just to his
reind. If one thing is better than on
the ohl place another is worse, and tak-
ing all things into censideration, but
few farmers change their residences,
who are able to make a living on the
old place, that better thenaselves by re-
moving to a distant State. One may
obtain rich lands at a law price where
there is no market for what he grows;
and he may get into an unhealthy local-
itt-, and soon he may bury his wife and
children, and what then ?—a gleoixty
world for him.—Colonial Farm(r.
- Glaieken-Hatclaingf
Chicken hatching and raising by ar-
tificial means is a camparatively new
branch, ofindustry in the United States,
although it was long ago carried on suc-
cessfully in China, Egypt, and other
Eastern countries. Her it has many
difficulties to contend with, arising chief-
ly from our -Variable climatein the
ltatchina houses the eggs must have a
unifore heat, always of the requisite
.degree, while to rear the young broods
an artificial simmer must be created
and Maintained.
An enterprising American, Mr. W, C.
Maker, has apparently succeeded in
:overcoming these difficulties to such an
extent that he may count with tolerable
certainty upon being able to furnish
youug chickens for the market in every
season of the year_ The buildings and
aPpliances for this new enterprise are
located on the Palisades, near Cresskill,
New jersey. The hatching house is a
bnildiug 25 by 50 feet on the sides, and
two stories high, besides the - attic and
cellar. In the latter are placed the hot
-water and ateara boilers—the first to
supply heat for incubation the second
to pump water inta alargeitank in the
attic, whence it is distributed aver the
premises through iron pipes. On the
first floor of this building are the keep-
ers' apartments, and part of the ma-
chinery for making gas for lighting all
the buildings on the grounds. On the
second Hoot are the room containing
the "incubators," the office, the attend-
antssleeping-rooms, and the electric
batteries which furnish. 'the means for
eontrolline the temperature about the
eggs, and t'by which an. alarm is given
should the air become to4o hot or too
cold.
The incubators consist of eight shal-
low water tanks of galvanized iron kept
at the proper temperature by means of
electricity, the current of which is gov-
erned by thermostats placed in th
water, and acting upon dampers willc.
ICE on or exclude the heat from th
boiler room according as the tempera
tura varies. Close under each of thes
tanks are placed eight pans, also of gal-
vanized iron. These pans are two
inches deep. Each will hold eighty
eggs. Thus the capacity of these ma -
eines is 5,120 eggst at: once, or if con-
stantly running, ahd aliening the natu-
ral period of incubation (twenty-one
daye) for each batch, 87,000 yearly.
When the eggs have been in the in-
cubators four days, they are examined
by holding them before a brilliant con-
centrated light The eges that .are
"clean "—that is, unfertile—are as good
as when first laid; the addled eggs are
at once cooked for chicken • feed, while
the fertile eggs are returued to the pans
for the remaining, period_ of iacubation,
The treatment of the e7ggt is as nearly
as poeeible in imitation, of the natural
procees of hatching. From one-half to
two-thirds of the cggs thus artificially
treated produce healthy chickens.
When they first emerge bean the shel
the chickens are as. wet as though they
had been immersed in water. They are at
(/ace placed in less shallow pans, where
they are kept for a fe-w hours, -until dry,
when they are removed to the " boarding
houte.- This is: a glaes building, 150
T. feet h. 'i U feet wide, and 16 feet high
in the centre. Here are 25 oval-shaped
tanke, 10 feet Imes, 20 incLes wiae, and

The attempt to raise large numbers

Nhitherto met with ectinty success, -which
mav be ascribed principally to lack

oughly to the cleanliness of the prem-
ises and the wants of the chickous,
both ycung and Old. Mr.. Baker keeps
no laying hens, depending entirely upon
others for his supply of eggs, some of
which are shipped to him romn far
Western States.
Mr. Baker has also adopted t1.e French
forcing process for fattening chickens
for the table. Fin- this purpos he has
constructed eight cylindrical ouses, or
epinettes, with Ave tiers of lit le stalls,
one above another, so ingenieusly con-
trived as to be kept constantly clean.
Each fowl has a stall to itse f, and is
held in its place by a soft leaih er strap
round both legs, arranged so a to slide
easily up and down on side stanchioas,
allowitg sufficient freedom o motion
for eas and health. The foodi consist-
ing of barley flour and Indi n meal,
mixed with water to It thin porridEe.
is prepared in a tank, to whi, h is at-
tached a flexible, tube with 4 smooth
silver mouth piece. ., The attendant
takes the fowl bythe head wil*i his left
hand, and by a j gentle pressu e [farces
open the month., ' to which th nozzle
of the kedine Itube- is inserted.— By
pressing hisfeet n the lever of a pump
connected with the tank, the prepared.
food is forced into the creature's Crop.
Care must .be taken not to. overtax the
capacity of the food. receptacle. The
cylinders are made to revolve, so that
each fowl is brought successive y to, the
assistant's stand, rwhich, by m4
ns of a
erank„ is raised to any.desired Leight .
It is claimed that the flesh of fowls
fatteiaed by this process is mori tender
and delicate than that of fowls allowed
to pick up their ii.--iagabout baineyards
and fields-, and that even tough old cus-
tomers that are ,popuiar1y supposed to
have "came out of the ark" ma.j be ren-
dered fit for the table of an epijmure by

increase in this branch of industry. We

A Last Will.
Some time since Mr. Wm. Du op, of
Gairbraid, Colborne township, C nada
West, departed thisilife, leaving tie fol-
lowing as his last will and testament.
It is now being contestedin chancery in
the district of Huron, on. the ground
that the author was!iasane. There was
certainly sdund sensein his whims, as
may be seen from the following copy of
the will : .

Gairbraid, and la,11 other property Il may
die possessed of to ' ro.y sisters, Ellen
Boyle Story, and. Elizabeth Boyle Dun;

to a minister, whom (God. help him)
she henpecks; the latterbe cause she is
married to nobody, nor is she like to be
for she is an old maid, and. pot market

their heirs nay share of the stock ; andl
implements on the farm ; provided al-
ways that the enclosure round by broth-
er's' grave always be reserved, and if
either should die without issue then the
other to inherit the whole. I leave to
nay sister-in-law, Louisa Dunlop,all tl1e
share of the household furniture ;arid
,.e such traps hereinafter mentioned,: 1
n leave my silver tankard. to the eldest
e son of old John, as the representative of
- the family. I should have left it to old
e John himself, but he would melt 1
down to make temperance medals, and
that would be sacrilege ; however, I
leave ray big horn snuff-box to hina ; he
can only make temperance horn spoons
with that: I leave my sister Jenny my
Bible, formerlythe preperty of my great -
great -grandmother, Bertha Hamilton, of
Woodhall, and when she blows as
much of the sprit of it as she does of
the letter she will be another Christian
than she is. I also leave mylato broth-
er's watch to my brother Sandy, exhort-
ing him at the same time to give' up
Whiggery, Radicalism, and all other
sins, that do most, easily beset; him. I
leave my brother Allan my big silver
snuff-box, as I am hiformed he is a rather
decent Christian with a swag belly
jolly face: I leave Parson Cheveesie
(Maggie's husband) the small box 1!,gof
from the Sarnia Militia as a small-tost-
, ken of my gratitude forthe services he`
t has done the family in taking a sister
that no man of taste would. have taken;
I leave John 1Cadeel a silver teapot, tq
the end that he may- drink tei-b therefrom
to comfort him under the affliction ef a
slatternly -wife. I leave my -books to
my brother Andrew, because he has i so
long been a jangley- walloh, that he may
learn to read. with thenn I give my sil-
ver cup, with a sovereign in it, to Janet
Graham Dunlop, because she ie an old:
maid and pious, and therefore will no:
cessary take to horning, and also my
granny's snuff shell, as it looks clecent
to see an old Woman taking snuff. In
witness thereof, I have hereunto set my
hand. and seal, the 31st day of August,
