Made to Pay
One of our coteraporaries lately re-
commended farmers to be more econom
ical ; to buy no more broadcloths for
themselves, no more Bilks for their
wives, no more ribbons for their
daughters. We join in recommending
economy j but by economy we mean
good management the making the
most of what we have ; not parsimony,
the denying the comforts or elegancies
of life. The department in which, we
venture to say, with all due submission,
more economy might be exercised, or
in other words, better management
might be displayed is the breeding and
rearing of fowls, nnd with this object
in view, we subjoin some advice from a
book published in London a short time
ago. It is entitled, " How the French
Make Fowls Pay," and is an answer to
the question how France, the land of
omelettes and fricassees, could export
to England every year Bix hundred mil
lions of eggs and thousands of tons of
poultry.
The seoret of the success of the
French lies in early hatching, good
feeding, and early killing, and a good
choice of Rtock.
For table purposes the Brahmas, or
Brahmns crossed with Dorktns, are re
commended ; for egg-laying none can
in quantity or quality surpass the Ham
burg, The French Houdans possess
the desirable merit of fattening quick
ly; the Spanish are good summer lay
ers ; the Cochins and Brahmas good
winter layers. For general purposes
the breeds to be commended are Brah
mas, Houdans, and Jiamburgs,
VTe think that less depends upon the
breeds chosen to stock the fowl-house
than on the treatment the fowls receive.
One great object to be kept in view is
to have eges in winter, when the price
is high. To promote winter laying a
morning nnd evening meal should be
given. Buckwheat is very good; it
contains a spirit, nnd is therefore stim
ulating ; the mid-day meal should be
of cooked vegetable and animal food.
One of the most successful egg-raisers
we ever knew used to etir up all his
fowls nnd give them a hot meal the
last thing before he went to bed. To
insure winter laying the hens must not
only be kept well fed, they must be
kept warm. Liberal feeding will be
lost labor unless the fowls are well
housed ; extra warmth bsth inwardly
and outwardly is required in winter to
make up for the carbon which then
goes to supply the frame with heat;
therefore, while in spring and summer
the hens can be allowed to run around
nnd forago for themselves, in winter
warmth and stimulating food must be
supplied.
Always keep tho stock young, and
hatch early. Pullets hatched in March
or early in April, if well fed, will begin
to lay in six months, nnd lay all through
the winter, if well housed. A pullet
from beginning to lny should give 190
eggs in the next twelve months; before
moulting time she ought to be fattened
for a fortnight, and will weigh in the
market -1J pounds. Neverkeep old fowls;
they eat as much as young ones, do not
lay as well, nnd are a great deal tough
er. Tho earlier chickens are hatched
the better they thrive ; they get over
their moult in warm weather, and have
tho summer to mature them. The male
fowls should bo killed at four months ;
they do not improve in winter, and at
nine months old will not pay for their
keep. It is advisable to hatch more
roosters than pullets. The way to
know the eggs which will produce this
Bex is as old as our ltaman friend
Columella ; choose eggs with pointed
ends, having the air cavity at the apex
of the blunt ends and not towards the

lints, Mice, nnd Moles.
I have found tho most effective way
preserving my trees frani mice is to
keep tho orchard cleanly cultivated, nnd
not to permit anything in it to make a
harbor for the creatures. Then in va
rious parts of tho orchard I put a bun
dle of straw, or cornstalks, and a hand
ful of pellets of corn meal paste, dosed
with arsenic each bundle. Tho mice
will gather beneath the bundles, and
eat the bait, and thus be destroyed in
great numbers. I have also drawn the
loose earth up nround the stems of the
young trees with a hoe, into a hill about
the size nnd weight of a peck measure.
Since taking these precautions I have
never had a tree injured. Bats may be
killed oil or driven away by clearing
uwuy every naunt wnere tliey may gatn
er, raising itie noors oi miens, pens, or
stables, so that dogs and cats may cet
beneath them, or by having concrete
floors to prevent their burrowing. In
cellars, where tin v have made burrows
beneath the walls, the holes should be
tilled with dry powder of quicklime.
Tho rats will not burrow thronch this.
but will make new holes, and if these
are tilled up a few times they retire in
disgust nnd abnndon the place. By
these means I cleared my farm of these
pests in the course of one summer; but
for moles in a sweet potato patch I have
no remedy to offer, uud believe there is
none. A .t'ennsvlvaina Farmer.
Myplanof keeping off mice and rabbits
is this : For young trees use lead tin,
cutting the 14x20 sheets througli the
center eacu way, or lor larger trees cut
ting but once, making a sheet 10xH.
Bend these strips of tiu around a fork
handle to give the desired shape, and
Blip them uround tho bole of the tree,
pressing the tin down into the ground
about one inch. This makes an effectu
al barrier to mice. Protection to trees
is only necessary in grass lands or where
mulching is left around the tree. When
the land is free from grass or weeds kill
up a little around the tree, leaving tho
ground smooth and hard, and you will
not be troubled with mice. Wm. II.

Standard of Uunlity.
Much has been written from time to
time about selling fruit and all farm
products by weight. It is said that a
barrel of apples may hold two bushels
or three, and that the farmer will get
no more for the large measure than the
smaller one, and that the selling of eggs
by the dozen is unfavorable for the
breeding of best sorts of poultry. The
demand is that there shall be a standard
- for all kinds of farm products, that buy
ers may know whether they are to get
their money's worth. This is right,but
at the same time there should be a
standard of quality. A barrel of one
kind of apples, of two bushels, may be
worth a barrel of three bushels, even of
the Bume variety. One pound of good
rhubarb, asparagus, potatoes, as most
other vegetables, may be worth two
pounds of tough, stringy, insipid speci
mens. Thus the buyer must in the end
judge for himself whether he is to get
the value of his money, even though he
get full measure. In California, Ne
vada, and all the territories, farm pro
ductions are sold by weight, with one
exception, and that 'is eggs, and all at
tempts made to have them sold by
weight have failed,
ul officer at Washington have
been spoken with relative to the com
parative strength of the Spanish and
American navies. White a majority of
them know, from reports which for
some years past have been oflloially
sent to the department, the formidable
character of the Spanish war-ships gen
erally, they have no fear from that fart.
Even should wor result, it would not be

is concerned, a war of invasion on our
art, and the naval warfare would not

Cuban const and the ports of the United

nere tninn would be thorouerhlv
protected by iron-clad monitors and
torpedo obstructions. Old navy offi
cers who have seen nctive service on our
iron-olads, even before they were
brought to the present state of eilieieuev
declare, without hesitation, that one o'f
our monitors could fink a Spanish mnn-
oi-war in a close contest in a few min
utes. Our monitors having but little
hull visible, only eighteen inches above
the wnter-line, are practically invulner
able, nnd even the pnrt exposed could
be still further protected if deemed
necessary by means of fenders. A
Spaniard could, of course, decline a
fight by running awny from the moni
tor, and the latter, not being construct
ed for speed, could not make a success
ful pursuit, but after the action should
be commenced, and the vessels be in
close quarters, our monitor would soon
disable its opponent. The Spanish war
steamers which are represented to be of
such a formidable character, are plated
with iron to the extent of four iuches
thick, but within 1,000 yards of a moni
tor this would be considered of little
importance in the face of one of our
powerful 15-inch guns, in which are
used from 80 to 100 pounds of powder
at a single discharge.

about a monitor is the turret, which
may be prevented from revolving bv au
enemy's shot ; but great care has been
exercised to perfect them in this respect.
Even should the turret be disabled, the
guns could be directed by means of the
helm. Though this Litter course would
occasion some inconvenience, it would
not destroy the effectiveness of the
monitor. Again, it has been said that
American ships are deficient in heavy
rifled ordnanee, and that, every foreign
fighting ship is armed with guns of that
class ; but ollicers of experience express
the opinion that tin employment of
rifled ordnance on nrmed ship's in pref
erence to smooth bores is an nnomaly,
if not a grave error. A vessel of war
should be constructed to resist shot
and shell nt the shortest distance, and
they argue that a rifled piece is inferior

smooth bore is just as effective nt dis
tances from 1,000 to 1,200 yards, or, ns
an old naval officer who commanded a
monitor during the war expressed it,
When 1 have got the work to do
within 1,000 yards, I don't want any
rifled ordnance." The question ns to
the sen-going qualities of monitors
b i ing next referred to, it was stated by
one of the most prominent officers of
the navy that they can go to sea with
perfect safety, but they should nlways
have another vessel with them for the
reason that the compasses on a monitor,
on account of the great mass of sur
rounding iron, work sluggishly nnd in
accurately. A London Street Character Dead.
Nno of the street characters of Lon
don is dead. Visitors to the English
capital may not have forgotten the nu
merous evidences of artistic skill in
chalk which met the eye on a more than
usually clear bit of pavement opposite
the Duke of Devonshire's house in Pic
cadilly. Exquisitely blue mackerel, an
orange or two, occasionally a lemon, a
piece of willow-pattern plute, a slice of
salmon, very pinky, and a beautifully
devised scroll displaying most wonder
ful specimens of round-hand writing.
These were usually the pretty speci
mens of chalk drawing which were ex
hibited on the St. James Park side
pavement of London's fashionable thor
oughfare on summer mornings. The
exhibitor was generally a cripple, who
from morning till evening engaged him
self in wearing a box of chalks, touch
ing up the back fin of the mackerel or
smoothing off the roughness from the
skin of the lemon.
Superficial thinkers, glancing at the
surface of things only, imagined that
the cripple was the drawer, and gave
him tho pence accordingly, but the men
who were up to the dodges of Loudon
street beggars knew otherwise. The
drawings were done in the night and
let to the highest bidder in the morn
ing. The man who engaged in this sin
gular but not unprofitable occupation
of selling the copyright and author
ship of his drawings was named Wil
liams, and bore a high character for
fair dealing among London tramps on
the lookout for any easy outdoor job.
The drawer of the sky-blue niaekerul is
dead, and the void thus created in the
ranks of Loudon street characters will
not be easily filled.
Advertising or Commercial (Traveler.
In times like these, says the Milwau
kee Evening Wisconsin, our merchants
more thoroughly perceive the disad
vantages which have inured to them by
relying solely upon commercial travel
ers. It has brought to them au enor
mous credit business, much larger than
is good for them ; but what they want
is the cash, and that can best be ob
tained by judicious advertising iu es
tablished journals.
One fact all admit, that there is more
money in the United States now by
many millions than there was two
months ago. Every merchant who has
goods to sell appreciates the necessity
of drawing that cash from the pockets
of those who hoard it. The question
is, How can that best be done ? We
think far better and with far more cer
tainty, by Judicious Advertising than
by a legion of commercial travelers.
Some firms in this city are paying 820,
000 per annum for commercial travelers,
while $3,000 in judicious advertising
would bring them more cash when there
is suck a notorious disposition to hoard
currency.
Chubch Pulpits. According to the
New York Times, only thirty of the
ministers of that city receive over
85,000 per annum from their congrega
tions, and not more than half of them
as muck as 2,500. This statement,
however, is misleading ; the Methodists
and Roman Catholics provide furnished
homes for tkeir ministers, in addition
to tkeir salaries. Thus a Methodist
pastor who kas a salary of $2,000 may
also receive for kis use a furnished
house worth at a moderate rental 62,000

Mr. Charles Bradlangk, the English
agitator, delivered a lecture on labor, in
whiok he said the question of labor
was one as old as humanity itself and
the real question of the future for all
countries. In this country," said he,
"you knve the moneyed class and the
moneyless class, and in this latter I in
clude all who labor with hand or brain
for just so much wages only as feeds,
clothes, and shelters them, without
having the possibility afforded them of
putting by a decent reserve fund for
what is commonly called a 'rainy day.' "
He thought it might be true, here at
least, that the moneyed class was the
educated class, nnd at any rate if not so
it was their crime. The word of im
penchment, he thought, ought not to
lie in their mouths against the lower
class on account of their ignorance and
vice whenever and wherever they had
been deprived of their school-houses
nnd of the time nnd means for educa
tion by the selfishness of the higher
class. With an eloquent tribute to the
memory of John Stuart Mill he quoted
the words of that emiuent political
economist to the effect that " all privi
leged and powerful classes as such
have used their power in the interest of
their own selfishness, and have indulged
their own self-importnnce in despising
and not in lovingly caring for those who
were in their education depraved by in
feriority." The lecturer thought the
whole labor question resolved itself
into the four words, " high wnges, low
wnges." It might be difficult to decide
absolutely, he thonght, what were high
and what were low wages, as the nomi
nal wages in New York as compared
with London, Pnris, and other cities of
Europe, was no proper criterion by
which to judge of the matter. Five
dollars a day might be low wnges here
nnd 2s. S)d. high wnges in London, but
in general the speaker considered nil
wnges low which do not give to the la
borer over and above tho bare necessi
ties of life some of its comforts, nnd
which pinch the mnn, giving him no
pleasure. He believed high wnges,snch
ns would give to the laboring man op
portunities for self-culture nnd leisure
tor observation beyond the sphere of
his daily toil, the true remedy for the
crime which comes with squalor and
misery.
Mr. Bradlaugh contrasted the condi
tion cif the poor classes in the oity of
New Yoik with those of London, Paris,
Edinburgh, Naples, and even beautiful
Florence, with its surface stratum of
elegance nnd luxury. How long our
cities would remnin free from such
squalid tenements nnd such abject pov
erty as are to be found in thoBo cities of
Europe, the speaker thought depended
much upon the uses the working-people
of America make of their privileges.
The lecturer denounced as dangerous in
the extreme the accumulation of over
whelming fortunes in the hands of in
dividuals, nsiu the cases of the Roths
childs, the Barings, the Astors, and the
Vauderbilts. These men, he said.might
indeed be charitable, but so far as that
was concerned it would be far better for
working-men if charity were to be blot
ted out altogether. It was degrading
for the honest laboring man to ask or
accept charity at the hands of the Gen
eral Government or of individuals. The
remedy for all ills arising from insuffi
cient wages in this country at least lny
within the reach of the laboring masses.
" If," said the speaker, " as I am told,
you have seven-tenths of the voting
population, it is your fault, and I say it
boldly to your very faces, if you are not
soon rid of your greatest evils. It is
useless to talk to me about the power of
political cliques and all that sort of
thing. If political cliques have this
power it is because you working-men
nre not true to yourselves and thus give
it them."
Mr. Bradlaugh then pointed out the
distinction between this country and
England in the matter of political pow
er among the working classes. " There
they can vote, it is true, but they can
not elect one of their own number to
any government position, becnuse,
though permitted by law to do so, they
are prevented by the temper of society
and by tho want of sufficient property
to support them in such positions.
There is no working-man's representa
tion in England, but in this country all
ihis is changed, and you have, the pow
er if you will but use it to correct the
evils of which you complain."
The question of trades-nuions wns
discussed by the lecturer nt some
length, in the course of which he nn-
nonnced his belief in their legality.
utility, and their morality, and argued
that tho worst abuses which had iiriseu
from their existence had come from
Inlse legislation tending to suppress
them. He thought all trades-unions
should bo political and co-operative or
ganizations; and above all, open and
aboveboard in all their acts and discus'
sions.

a little story. He said that one night

A California Balloon Hoax.
Balloon ascensions seem to be no
more trustworthy in California than
they are farther east, and the "marriage
in the clouds." of which even the tele
graph wns called ou to make mention,
kas proved a delusion, as tke following,
from the San Francisco Chronicle,
shows:
"It wns announced, that Professor
Lny would ascend from the City Gar
dens with kis intended wife, a Miss
Smith, and Justice Townsend, and,
when fur nbove the regions of cloud
land, be united to the fnir one. The
professor even went bo far as to procure
a marriage license, nnd this fact settled
many doubts in the minds of those who
were disposed to be skeptical. The re
sult of these brilliant advertisements
was that the City Gardens were crowd
ed with men, women and children, all
anxious to witness this novel marriage
ceremony. Professor Lay was busy about
the balloon, but no lady was seen near
the 'orold.'
"At half-pnst 3 the huge gns-bng wns
about hnlf filled. It contained about
twenty-five thousand feet of gas, not
enough to enrry up one man of ordinary
weight. Justice Townsend was on the
ground, but he evidently had no idea of
ascending. At this time it was decided
to send up the balloon; aud the basket
wns accordingly attached. No ballast
was placed in it, and the anchor, which
is nu indispensable adjunct to a bal
loon when it is intended to bring it
down again, was wanting. A hundred
men held by the nettings. The huge
gas-bog swayed to and fro in the wind.
The expectant bride had not yet appear
ed, but Professor Lay was there, super
intending the arrangements.
" Suddenly he cried let go.' And
the men did let go. The gas-bng, with
au empty basket attached, shot up in
the nir, and then the Professor cried
' hold on.' A few men grasped tho 'one-thousand-foot
rope,' which was just
twenty feet long, but it passed through
their fingers like red-hot iron, and the
balloon mounted to the ethereal blue at
the rate of a mile a minuto. That the
entire enterprise was a humbug meant
to draw people to the Gardens there
can be no doubt, ond bo the spectators
regarded it."
Yellow Fever.
The
yellow fever derives its name
from the deep yellow line assumed by
the skin of the unfortunate victim of
tho disease. It appears to be confined
within narrow geographical limits, but
why one city should be desolated by
this scourge, and another having the
same climate escape, is a circumstance
not satisfactorily explained. Apparent
ly thi3 terrible disease is not fully un
derstood ; but obscure as are the causes
from which it originates, it is manifest
that its most violent ravages have often
occurred in locolities where there is a
great lack of proper sanitary conditions.
A year or two ago Buenos Ayres was
visited by this malady, and the mortal
ity was frightful. But it soon became
known that tho sewerage was very de
fective, nnd .the water was particularly
impure, nnd garbage nnd refuse matter
of nil kinds were snfl'eied to remain in
exposed situations until the air was
filled with pollution. The unwhole
some conditions that surround Shreve-
port have been often mentioned since
that city has suffered so severely. Mem
phis is said to have no proper sewerage,
the cistern-water which the people
drink is unwholesome, nnd the streets
nre not kept in a cleanly condition. All
these circumstances favor a pestilence,
and might easily engender it. If suit
able sanitary conditions exist in any
place, an infectious or contagious dis
ease finds it hard to gain a foothold
there. The yellow fever has many pe
culiar features. Children are generally
supposed to sufiVr most severely from
its prevalence, and the severity of the
disease appears to vary with persons of
different untie utilities. The Germans
and Irish seldom have it so lightly as
do the French nnd Spanish, while Amer
icans aud the English are attacked with
medium violence. Although it is usu
ally confined to warmer sections, New
Yorit has several times been visited by
this plague, but it has not assumed an
epidemic form here for many years.

the corntry in such a state of efficiency
that it may be ready for immediate use
should the present war cloud assume
suck dimensions as to determine Con
gress upon making a formal declara
tion. Should a rupture occur between
the two Governments, it will be the
policy of the United States to land a
sufficient force of men on the Island of
Cuba, which can easily be done under
the protection of our iron-clads and
other vessels of war. It has been men
tioned by a prominent Cabinet officer
that 10,000 men would in all probability
be in excess of the number of troops re
quired to establish beyond any chance
of failure the authority of the United
States in Culm. This was not stated as
an official declaration, but ns an inci
dent of conversation upon the absorbing
topic Members of the Cabinet do not
hesitate to express personal views as to
their full indorsement of the general
desire for full reparation of the out
rages upon our citisens and insults to
our flag, but as to the absolute inten
tions of the Government not one who
has been approached considers himself
at liberty, as already indicated, to
speak. Greater unanimity never char
acterized a Cabinet session than that of

cures "a thousand tils," simply
by Toning up, Invigorating and
Vitalizing the System. The en

HEW YORK, 1873-4. WEEKLY, SEMI-WEEKLY, AND DAILY.
THE WEEKLY SUN Is too widely known to require tty extended recommenda
tion; but the reasons which have already given It fifty thousand ubaciiben. and
which will, we hope, give it many thousands more, are briefly aa follows:
It is a first-rate newspaper. All the news of the day will be found In it, con
densed when unimportant, at full length when of moment, and Always presented In
a clear, intelligible, and interesting manner.
It is a first-rate family paper, full of entertaining and instructive reading of every
kind, but containing nothing that can offend the most delicate and scrupulous taste.
It is a first-rate story paper. The best tales and romances of current liteaature
are carefully selected and legibly printed in its pages.
It Is a first-rate agricultural paper. The moat fresh and instructive articles os
agricultural topics regularly appear in this department.
It is an independent political paper, belonging to no party, and wearing no cel
lar. It fights for principle, and for the election of the best men to office. It es
pecially devotes its energies to the exposure of the great corruptions that now
weaken and ding race our country, and threaten to undermine republican, institutions
altogether. It has no fear of knives, and asks no favors from their supporters.
It reports the fashions for the ladles, and the markets for the men, especially th
cattle markets, to which it pays particular attention.
Finally, it is the cheapest paper published. One dollar a year will secure it for
any subscriber. It is not necesbary to get up club In order tohave THE WEEKLY
BUN at this rate. An) one who sends a single dollar will get the paper for a year.
