We often read in the papers about poultry farms, as if it required some particular kind, or size of farm, to raise poultry profitably. Ten acres might be enough to keep .r.P0 or 1,000 fowls on profitably, but 25 or 30 acres would be much better bcause one who goes into this bur-iuess requires a horse, a cow or two, and land for pasture, and to grow two or three acres of oats, the tame, or more, of corn and potatoes, in short, land enough to almost make a living on, independent of the fowls. I will an swer a few imaginary questions 1 "How many fowls can be U advantage on a small, 2j farm " It depend wholly on your kept acre skill and crperieuce in raising poultry, and the amount of capital that yu Lave to invert in the businesc.

You can obtaia more r gjrs the first year from fowls than when old er, the laying season to begin in November or December, with pullets batched the previous April and Mav, and to continue one year. The fowls arc less liable to diseases at this age. and it would be more profitable to renew your stock every year from chickens raised on your own premis es. Ia regard to the best breed it is bardly possible for anybody to say what breed is the most profitable in < ca. Tor eggs only, the Leg horns seen to take the lead, next the Hamburg? ; and among the large breeds, the Light Drahoas and Ply mouth Rocks I think the tiro best, both being good layers, bardr, and good market fowls dressed. The medium-sued Rrabmaa are much preferable as layers, sitters, etc., to the great, forced specimens that we eee at fairs. 3 "How much proGt can I safely tpcct to make oa each fowl, if I keep from 500 to 2,000 ?" If voa so manage yonr fowls so that tbey keep healthy, not having over 250 in one yard or run, and feed them properly, you can clear, at least, tn dollar Der fovl each season above allctneoses: but the trouble is to Lee,i them perfectly hcakhy, the tame as when only a few are kept, and in every case tbat tne experimeut d as been made in the United States to keep a rery large number of fowls in one yard the result bas been disas trous. You can obtain, on an aver- age, about 125 eggs per year from each ben ; worth twenty-five cents a! dozen in most places, and their feed j need not cost over one uullar, if you buy it all. Thei, you can make good profit oa early chickens, to sell in J uly at i 0 or cents per pound ; and there will be a good profit on the f owls that you till, and sell dressed every fall, as the chickens raised to replace them will not cost you in feed over half what the old fowls will tell for. 1 could easily figure up a profit of two dollars per fowl ; but to be oa the safe side, and allowing for all oaitgent expenses, I say liiat oue dollar each ia sure to you, if vou ful ly understand the business. Tin man w ho ha land for fowls to use as a ran, extending 20 or CO rods from their roosting hoase, would show a grosa ignorance of fowl raising, to Mf that there is no profit la ticai. Their manure is worth half what it costs to keep them, if all be carefully eaved, and composted with any Boil, four times the bulk of the Leo dung, and so left a few weeks before using it for any crops, as one would apply gnano, wbicn costs about three cents per pound, and is no better than fowl dropping.

Let It be six or eight feet deep, and from four to five wide, bat do not wall it up Then connect your sink outlet with the cesspool underground, through four or six inch drain pipe, giving a fall tbat will carry off all the wash ings of the kitchen easily. Tot a wooden cover to the pool tbat can be easily removed, and twice a year re move it, clean out lie pool, and pat the filth ia it oa your garden. Around this pool set some ornament al shrubbery, so that it can not be seen.

By the decay of the clover roots wheat gets a good start in the fall, aud when summer comes ted the dry weatLer we gen erally have just "before wheat fills, the roots get down to the moist, de cayed clover, turned under, and the beads Gil out beautifully, and the wheat will be rery heavy. 1 you wish to plant with corn, there is no better field for that purpose than a good clover sod turned under. Fol low your corn with barley, then with wteat and seed with clover.

With such a rotation of crops our land will im prove with a crop every year, instead of losing one year in four or five for fallowing." VVbat HM.CmM oklla; Tblaka of T.9Tp.

THE TEMTEKANCE MOVEMENT. The manajrers of the "law and or der league" have departed from the plan laid down by Ir. Crosby, and are making raids upon the fashion able drioking plaoes. Last week all the big hotels and restaurants were assaulted, and their proprietors re quired to answer. It was an astoa irber upon these people. The great, hotcld bad favored the movement upon the rum mills, but the idea that their places would ever be loterier ed with never entered their heads. Therefore when officers entered and shut them op, and when tbey were called upon to answer, their indigna tion was beyond telling. It doesn't make any difference, however, with them. Guests simply order drinks to their rooms, and there is, in each of them, a room in which liquor can be had, served by an irresponsible party, and without making tbe hotl responsible. The little doggery can not do this, for it never has but one room, and its trade must necessarily be open and without cover. Ir. Crosby was right. Of course it isn't logical to squelch Tim Rafferty and let the Fiftb Avenue go on, but it happens to be the case that Tim Rafl'erty can be squelched, while so law tbat can be made can preveut the Fifm Avenue from selling liquor. And it bas tbe further reason that tbe people who drink at the Filth Avenue are less injured than those who swallow Ferty's poison. Raf ferty actually takes the bread out of the mouths of women and children the swells at tbe Fifth Avenue, it is true, kill themselves, but is the world any tbe worse for it If liquor can be kept from the laborers a great point is made oy arraying toe swells against the movement, a big rh-k is taken that it will fail entirely. At the Astor last Sunday, a regular drinker at that bar found it closed. "Step into No. C," whispered the at tendant who stood there to direct tbe regular customers. "I wish to God No. C wa9 closed too," was the r sponseoftbe victim. Rut he weut aod took tbe drink all the same, and after two or three was cursing the League as heartily as though be had an interest in liquor. THE TB.OVM.KS OF LITE INSURANCE SWINDLERS. TbaDk heaven the courts of New York can no longer be said to favor rich swindlers while they are severe upon lesser ones. Tbe respectable life insurauee fraud is now upon tbe same level with tbe sawdust swin dler, and gets the same penalties. Gilman, tbe forger, is serving out his lime in tbe penitentiary, and now Robt. L. Case, one of tbe roost in tensely "respectable" bnsmess men of the city, has been found guilty of perjury, and on Friday morning was sentenced to tbe State prison. Case was the president of tbe defunct "Se- rnritv" Life. When tbe affairs of tbe rotten concern were examined, it was found that Mr. Case had sworn to a cash balance of nearly a million, when in fact a few hundreds only were found. He had sworn to all sorts of mythical aesels, and ia short hv sheer force of swearing to false statements bad kept the swindle shop going for a long wbile. Mr. Ca3e is an old man, and pet in the plea tbat ho signed and swore to the otute ments without examining them, and that he knew nothing at all about them. Rut the court very properly beld tbat that had nothing to do with it. ITe had swora to a certain con dition of things which did not exist, aod it was perjury. Case's lawyers made a piteous appeal to tho jury, begging mercy for a respectable old m8n, vho stood high ia society and all that, but thu jury werx- grimly re minded that tb's "respoettbie" old gentleman had swindled eleven thou sand families, fifty-five thousand women and children, and swindled them in the meanest way possible. by taking advantnge of the best im pulses in man. And tbey very prorapUv brougiit mm in guuty Allen, tbe vice-president, also an old respectability, will bo hauled over the coals next, and Stedwell, of the New Jersey Mutual, when be is caught, which will, finally, be. The insurance frauds are now about broken up, and tha sound companies are rejoiced thereat. It has bad the effect of stopping the business, almost entirely, but now tbat the irresponsi ble and fraudulent concerns are out of the way, it will revive cad the old companies will bo stronger tbaa ever. Tilt VAVPEIIBILT CASE Is now fairly under way. Tha suit wat brought by Mrs Le Rao, one of the daughters who refused to com promise with VJm. II , her eiaim be ing that the old man was under un due influeneo in giving his $100,000, 000 to one son, and that to bring this about William II. conspired to mis represent Cornelius. Scott Lord, her lawyer, admits tbat the Cnmrao doro did not like Cornelius because of his habits, but asr-erls that four years before Lis death be rolenteJ, and determined to make an equal di vision, at least as between the sons To prevent this William employed a man to persoscte Cornelius, and fre quent all the brothels tai faro banks i3 the city. The statement that Cor nelics had relapsed was brought to tbe cars of the Commodorr-, who im mediately instructed 'ill:ara to em ploy a detective to determine tba truth. William did employ a de tectivo who bad never scan Cornelius, tbe man who was personating Cor nelius wa9 pointed out to him as Cornelius, and he was followed and ail his doings were reported to the Commodore as those of his son. This so enraged bim tiiit bs cut him off with $200 000, and left nine-tenth of the estate to William. It is aUo charged tbat tbe old man was under tbe control ot women, and thus Wil liam took advantage of tbat fact aod furnished his father with women wbo were m bis interest, going so far as to put oue in his house for tbe old map, aod tbat be might have ber society uninterrupted, connived at placing bis mother, the Oomuodoru's first wife, in a lunaticasylum. Find ing b'u father inclined to spiritualit-m, he brought WoodhcH and Claflio to bim, and bat there's too much to enumerate. The sum and substance of tbe statement is, tbat the old roan was a licentious, sensual old beast, and that William pandered to bis vices for the purpose of eontroling him, end shutting out tbe other chit dren. Public opinion i pretty much all one way. William U. Vandei bill is a very popular man, while Cor nelius could be popular were it not for tbe escapades of bis youth and manhood. Sympathy ges wlik tbo contestants, for everybody believes that there mcst be something wrong in the distribution of an eatate so monstrously cut of proportion.

Why she lives in the sea, iu preference to dry land, is uot so clear, uuless it saves rent. A Mermaid is very careful of her costume, which consists chiefly of ber hair, aud uever goes out with an um brella to protect it, in case it shculd rain. At borne, these people have conve niences aod comforts not possessed by ordinary mortals, conspicuous among which are their excellent wa ter privileges. They have water up aud down stairs, and in the basement, aud washrooms in every corner, iu the bouse. They are brought up to go in swimming whenever tbey please. Sometimes a resplendent creature will sit at the piano and sing, "Mother may I go out to swim?" and then climb upon the mantel piece and take a plunge before the old lady can say, "Yes, my darling," etc. I do not kuow what tbey do for a livelihood, uuless tbey take in wash ing; but it cannot be denied that tbey get along swimmingly. Thev are never troubled with the dust, which is another advantage of beiug a Mermaid; and tbey are ne. er obliged to water tbe flowers, ex cept in a very dry season. Tbey are very neighborly, and it is seldom you will see the pump-handle chained down to keep others from using the water. The old lady Mermaid is careful of her children's health, and may of ten be heard to say: "Mary Ann, you and Becky Jaoe fetch' Gaiiie Hamilton Fish right in tbe bouse this instant. The fust thing you'll know you'll have your feet wet, and then you'll be howliu' around with the croup!" There is a great deal of unwritten history connected with the Mermaid which ought to be supplied. Like other maids, they sometimes betray unsusieHiDg young men. uue oi them fell in iove with Leander, if you remember, and one day, when he was taking a swim, she approached bim, aud witb-ut an introduction. she inisicd upon bim accompanying ber home. She was wry beautiful, aud Leander did not make a great kick against going. According to Mr. Hood, wbo was a guQilernan whose word could not be questioned, she buucled bim up in her embrace, and took him right along. It w as a !ad move for Leander. He wasu't used to tue clicate into which be was being burned, aod be lasted about as long as t would take you to say, "(Jranoy willyourdogbite uocbildao," without any punctuation marks or any thing else to delay yoa. There was no Coroner on hand to bold an iuquest on tbe drowned boy; bu bad there been, a clear cao would bave been i;(ade out against tbe love sick Mermaid- Could Lavo 14(303 made out, mind yoi).

I a per son tbey bave developed an unusual degree of beauty and symmetry. Though of less stature tha i many other Indians, they are still tall and well made. Their faces are very iateli gent, tbe nose aquiliue, tbe eyes clear and brilliant, tbe cheek bones less prominent, and the lips thinner than usual among ofher tribes. The dress of the men differs little from tbe ordinary costumes of the Indians of the plains, except ia being generally c!eoer aud ia better preservation Tbe Bloods dress more nea.ly aud are finer and bolder-looking men than tbe Blackfeet, wbo, in turn, surpass tbe Peagins in these respects. The Bloods are said to have among them many comparatively fair men, with gray eyes, and hair b.th fiaer and lighter-colored than is usual in tbe case of pure Indians. The tribe is supposed to beir its savage name, not from any particular cruelty of dis position, but because, uolise tbe oth er tribes, its warriors do not steal hor ses, but only seek for tbe blood of tbeir enemies, whom they generally overcome, for tbey are the bravest of all the natives. Tbe faces of both Blackfeet men and women are gener ally highly painted with vermilion, wbicb seems to be the national color. Trie dress of the latter is very singu lar and striking, consisting of long gowns of buffalo skins, dressed beau tifully soft, and dyed with yellow ocbre. These are confined at tho waist by a broad belt of the same ma terial, thickly studded over with rouod brass plates, tho size of a sil ler half-dollar piece, brightly polish ed. The Blackfeet, however, ia com mon with our Indians, are rapidly adopting blankets and capotes, and giving up the beautifully painted robes oft heir forefathers. The ornamented robes tbat are n w made arc inferior in workmanship to those of tbe days gone by. . The mental characteristics of tba Blackfeet resemble those of Indians everywhere. Similar circumstances give shape and force to thoughts and emotions in all Intellectual vigor is manifested in shrewdness of observa tion, and strong powers of perception, imagination and eloquence. Ibey are quick of apprehension, cunning, noble-minded aud firm of cbarac.er, vet cautious iu manner, and with a certain expression of pride and re serve. Tbey are strong and active, aud naturally averse to an indolent babit Tbeir activity, however, is rather manifested ia war and the chase tbaa useful labor. Pastoral, agricultural and mechanical labor tbey despise, as forming a sort of da? grading slavery. I a this tbey are about as proud as tbe cuizeus of the old republics whose business was war. Tbeir labors are laid upon tbe women, wbo also are, upon occasions, tbe beasts of burden upon tbeir marches; for tbe egotism of the red man, like that of his while brother, makes bim regard woman as his ia fnrior. aod a predestined servant to roiuister to his comfirt and plea.-ure. Tbe Blackfeet have, moreover, bjth a local attachment and a strong pa triotic or national feeliag in wbicb re spect tbey differ favorably from all other tribes. In their public counpijs aud debates tbey exhibit a genuine oratorical power, and a keenness and closeness of reasoning quite remark ble. Eloquence ia public speaking is a gift which tbey earnestly culti vate, and tbe chiefs prepare them selves by previous reflection and ar rangement of topics and methods of expression. Tbeir scope of thought is boundless as the land over which they roam, and their speech tbe echo of tbe beauty tbat lies spread around ihem.

L Smith of Louisville gives a map of this region ia the American Journal of Science aoa Arts, show iar the locality of each fall, aud he states tbat the aggregate estimated weight of tbe eight wasoac thousand aud sixty kilogrammes equal to more tbafi 2."00 pounds. As tbe population of the region mentioned is but little above tbe average of tbe country, it would appear that there is actually an excess in the number and weight of the meteoric falls there, aad tbat tbe apparent excess is not due merely to l)e feet tbtit observers are more numerous. Going back fartber, and taking a period of sixty years, professor Siuith fiuds that, there have been twenty well uoted falls of meteoric smi.cs in tbe United Sta'es, ten of which were iu this same region ; and those ten weighed twen ty time as much as tbe ten wbicb occurred outside its limits. i'flrn Pone.

A Thoag-btral Haak4. If be bad confined himself to his legitimate quill-driving duties, there would have been no occasion for bim to bave been strutting around with bis left band ia a sling, a patch on bis nose and an absurd old gum shoe on one foot. He was however, only another victim of tbat egotistical opinion of all men, that they can do anything better than a womn. He went home tbe other day and found his wife putting up peaches in those old fashioned tin-cans that closed with sealing wax. Sbe had an apron on and two or three little blotches of sealing-wax ornamented the flor, wbile ihe cat under tbe table wan lickiug a piece the size of t, postage stamp wub assiduuv. "See here Maria," he said, you'll cripple yourself with tbat but wax directly," but as she made no answer, he continued oracularly: "tVomen never bave any mechanical genius, anyway. If there is a way of doing a thing wrong they are sure to try it." "Rv you think you can do any better:" sbe observed, with Borne acidity. "Wby, of course I can." "Well, here, just distinguish your self, then " So he sat down. Sbe banded bim a fresh can, just out of tbe hot water. He took 11 10 his baad and dropped it ss though it had been a s'reak of lightoiug; whilehe stuck bis Goger in his mouth and looked sudden death at ber because be could not swear. Sbe gave bim a towel to bold tbe next one with, and be took it on bis kuee. lighting the sealing-wax, aud commeuced prodding around tbe too but the bottom burnt bis knee, and be jerked, bringing the burning wax across the back of bis left band Tben be jumped up and bowled. dropped tbe can wbicb emptied spoouful of burning preserves into bis flipper. This made bim frantic, aod be went dancing about tbe kitchen like an inebriate dervish, waving tbe burning wax until a drop took bim on tbe nose lu bis anger he kick ed the cffendiug can clear through the window, scattering its coateatn over tbe dog, who rushed into the street bowling and raisiDg an alarm of mad dog, wbicb occuoied tbe a teation of all the people within three squares. Tben be submitted to be laid on the sofa and plastered with flour and s wee; oil, uatil he looked liko a badly-prepared scarecrow.

After cleaning and washing well, let it souk in cold water for an hour or more. Have tbe water a little salty and change it once or twice. Parboil the heart and liver, chop them up fine with one slice of fat salt pork. Then make your dressing of bread crumbs, mixing iu the chop ped hart, liver aud pork, season well with pepper aud salt, aud moist eu with a little of tbe water in which the heart, Ac., were boiled. Stuff tbe rabbit with this dressing, sew it up, spread or rub butter all over it and roast; occasionally baste with melted butter aud water, and when the gravy flows freely enough baste with that. A few momenta before removing from tbe oven sift a very little fl jur over. Que bour, if tbe oven is good, should cook it. Place it on a healed disb ; take tbe drip ping pan containing tbe gravy and place i' on the range. Have prepar ed a small onian chopped very fine, add it to tbe gravy, also a small lump of butter, tbickea it with a little flour, let it boil up; just before re moving from tbe fire add tbe juice of half a lemon ; serve the gravy in a sauce boat. Garnish the rabbit with sliced lemon ; cut off the head ju-t before sending on the table. Serve with currant jelly. About Tear her and Teaeblog". What is the u.-e of a teacher if he or she does not teach ? This is tbe question which is agitating a good many of our exchanges. A lrginia paper thinks tbat to send children home in the erening with trras full of books and half a dozen lessons "to get" by themselves, aud tbea in the morning to bear their rocitatioos and score 1 heir demerits, i no teaching at all Ibe pupil should betaugbt bow o study and bow to think, and this ougbt to be done in tbe school room, and not at home, where tbe parents bave as much as tbey can do to at tend to domestic matters and bear tbeir children recite what tbey have beoa taught by their teachers. If bearing recitations is all a teacher bas to do, then be ia no teacher, but merely a judge of tbe child's borne acqifirempoU. Another paper says: If teachers are paid for teaching, tbey should not. in our opinion, be allow ed to oitjit more than half their duty by coufiuing themselves solely to the work if recitation.
