The kennels of Lord Anglesey aro
a remarkable feature of the castle.
He possesses many hundreds of
dogs. They are all of carefully se-
lected breeds, many of them, indeed,
being prize -winners.
The larger ones enjoy open yards
and the smaller live in hothouse ken-

The grimed areal should be mixed
to a thin porridge with sour skim -

10 pounds of meal require from 15
to 17 pounds of sour slcintmills. A
small quantity of salt should bo ad-
d el to the mash.
When sufficient skinnmilk or butter-
milk cannot be obtained for mixing
mashes, a quantity of animal and
raw vegetable food should be added
to the fattening ration.
The chickens Should remain in the
fattening crates for a period of 24
days, more or less depending cm the
condition of the bird. Before they
arc placed in the crates they should
be well dusted with sulphur to kill
the lice. They should be again sul-
phured three days
BEFORE THEY ARE BILLED.
Tho First Week.—It is necessary to
feed tho -chickens lightly the first
weeds they aro in the crates. A small
quantity of the fattening food
should be spread along the troughs,
and as this is eaten mol•o food is
added, but not as much as the chick-
ens would consume. The food should
be given three times a slay, and after
feeding the troughs should be clean-
ed and turned over. The chickens

It was perhaps in his private then-
tre that Lord Anglesey was hest
known to the public. For a whole
year he maintained a company of
from twenty to thirty actors and
actresses. They lived in the village
about twa miles from the castle,
travelling to and fro every night.
The players have now been disband-
ed, and must regret the loss of a
good engagement.
In his selection of plays Lord Ang-
lesey was rather vague. Ire would
