I'm very dusty :.I,a tired, wife I I've just come home frog - the fair ; So give me my pipe and tobacco, and I'll smoke in my ear , chair ; It's tiresome work a p. ayin' for feeble old men like me ; It's tiresome , vc - '‹ a rein' where every one wishes to see. Our fair . are .tinniti' do- 1,; they are not like the fairs of old, Where you took t' prizes - )r bread, and but ter as yellow .s gold ; There were hundreds of useful things, that were well rth then ; Now, dczens of racial gorses and hundreds of bettin' men. What all this aportin' c.lllead to is more than I now can tell Bat,somehow, it Recms to me like the down ward road to b—well, I may be a little harsh, but I'm apeakin' the simple truth, For bettin', racin' and drinkin' are the foes of our noble youth. We shall come to a nation of gamblers, if mat ters keep on in this way ; Wt-y, what do you think? a youngster accused me of bettin' to-day ; When I laid my hand on the head—that hesn't seen ten years yet— And called him a fine little fellow—he answer ed me back, "You bet 1" "Tut! tut! little man," said I, "that thing I have never done ; Coin() stand by grandpa's kneel let me reason with you, my son." He straightened up in his clothes, and said, with a look so queer, "I didn't come here for preachin' ; old man, walk off on your ear I" We never heard talk like that when you and I were young; My father and mother—bless 'em—put a bridle upon my tongue, Pm old, and Pm gettin' blind, but a difference I can see 'Twill the boys of eighteen hundred and eight een seventy-three. How is it about the girls? They, too, from the path have strayed; I didn't see one a showin' the butter her hands had made ; They stood in their pony phaetons, with wo man's ease and grace, And shouted as loud as any when a favorite w 0,.. a race. All eyes were watchin' the track ; the race was every man's thet,nei And I said to myself, 'la this a fair, or Is it " only a dream I saw 'bout a dozen of boys lookin' round at the sheep and swine, And the frosts of seventy winters had silvered their beads like mine. Why on airtb don't they change the name, when the wrong name it has got ? No longer call it a fair, but an agricultural trot; Thea area won't be taking things for sensible ' With nnbo4y there Owlets tiutetrPelod men like Ow' • -" b; the *quires but little envies'. The chicken• houses sbould be inexpensive but auficieut- ly roomy. ciean, and well-ventilated. A large portion of the food can be supplied t/ie offal of the farm of almost every desiiiiption, which can be readily -econo inlaed for the purpose. Me timetaquitsed eta be mainly what may be celled aif - time. The pleasure of raising chickens, ducks, turkeys, geeEe, guinea fowls, and even pigeons (with squabs at forty cent.. per pair), should pay for all the outlay in money or labor. As we say, there is a eonstaat demand for poaltry at good prices, and there is not a season in the year whet they cannot be disposed of freely. We know that noon many farms poultry-raising is not regarded with favor, as eonsuming Crum that should be applied to the general affairs of the farm. But it is a mistake 'sad we commend a thorough examination of the subject." Another even more powerful iniunement would to be inventsoLie remedy for ehiek se cholera and "gapes," which cause snob viisseuraging mortality among our poultry, both old and young. Tie-ef oar best and most sueemeral poultry raisers, "who never lose a single chicken from gapes," tell ns krat- kiier attribute their example wholly that as soon as taken off the roost they grease the heads of all the ehickens. The argument is that the worm which produces the trouble in the wind pipe of the bird hatches on the top of its head and passes in _at the nostrils. To Irmitzistr THE FLOW Or MILK.— A southern lady says : - "Tepid water, slightly salted, given twice a day, will in- crease the flow of milk cue-liird ; irthe eow will not drink it at first trial scatter a handful of bran or meal over the top of it. They soon bactome very food of it. and will .drink all yon give them. I tried this plan •Orree years ago with perfect success. I had only one cow, and she was of the com mon scrub stook of the oountry, and after libe began to drink the water, prepared as above, she furnishet me twice a day two ordinary water buckets full of mitt." To bizasuus 1 - Aar/D.—To aid farmers in arriving at accuracy in estimating the amount Of land in diffeient fields wader cultivation, the following rule is given by an agricultural paper : 60 feet wide by 726 feet long, contain one acre; 110 feet wide by 369 feet long, contain one acre ; 220 feet wide by 198 feet long, contain one acre; 240 feet wide by 1814 feet long, one acre; 440 feet wide by 99 feet long contain one acre.
