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 t; &LI), the under side of which is covered itytth flamiel in Itilds, for the chickens V.') nestle against for warmth and rktit.

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 beIng submitted t� this tteatme t. . . .

The conaparative eas -with Which the - establiehment is m naged, the cheapness and reliableness of the process, and the assured profits of the enterprise, will doubtless lead to pi great increase in this branch of industry.

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 : . , . "In the name of God, amen.

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.
