rolLTKY FARMS.
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

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

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

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,

allctneoses: but the trouble is to

every case tbat tne experimeut d as
been made in the United States to
keep a rery large number of fowls in

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

ly understand the business. Tin
man w ho ha land for fowls to use as

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.
QUESTIONS ASKED.
1 "no can sink drainage be die
posed of best, so as not to be an eye
sore 7"
I can imagine your case exactly.
Your eink spcut lets all its soapy
filth out upon the surface of the
ground, at the side of your kitchen,
and becomes a nuisance, which can
not be permitted oa any respectable
place, loa should dig a cesspool in
one place lower, or as low as the
surface of the gronnd at the spout, or
outlet pipe of your sink. 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. No offensive smell will come
from it, if the cover fits well ; and the
water will soak into the ground as
fast as it runs in, leaving a sediment
containing all the fertilizing proper
ties that run into it

I "Dot the mere plowing the land.
and sowing it to two or ttsree varie

without any oat crop with it, would
give von a'pasttv worth ten times
what" it is now worth. Of if you first
sow it to clover, you could get a fair

then plow a full crop under green in
June, and immediately sow the field

opinion is that it will do better than
summer fallow. My reason is, the
soil is much lighter. 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

wheat will be rery heavy. 1 you

better field for that purpose than a

low your corn with barley, then with

this method with one field and an

the same quantity of fertilizers for
ten years and see which field will be
in the best condition. With such a
rotation of crops our land will im

OritSEW.TOBK LETTEK.
New Youk, November 24, 187.
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.

respectability, will bo hauled over
the coals next, and Stedwell, of the
New Jersey Mutual, when be is

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. Tbe
trial will last a long time, and be one
ot the nastiest oa record. Tbe con
testants have a magazine of testimo
ny which, if they can establish the
half of it, will show tbe old Commo
dore to have been as weak ia 6ome
1
res,r?cis as he was strong in others,
and Winiam tbe most miserable
pimntbat ever breathed. Rut can
tbey establish it? That's the ques
tion. The befct legal talent in tbe
country is cogaged. Henry L. Clin-

The Mermaid is a young lady who
lives in the sea. 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). There is no
telling what tbe jury would have re
turned. It is moio than likely, bow
ever, tbat tbe verdict would bave
been: "We, the," etc , "find that tbe
deceuwa cape to his death by beiug
kicked iu tbe stomach l;y a mule, not
knowing tbat the same was loaded.''
It va a peculiarly sad case. Le
ander bad left a yos;n bride on
shore, wbo was wailing bis return,
with war ai kuses oa ber Hps and hot
biscuits on the tiovo.
P. 8. If you did not tbibk or it be
fore, please stop the press to say that
Mermaids do not chew gum.

1 he Blurk feet I !.
TheB lackfeet, taken as a body,
are still tbe most numerous and pow
erful of tbe nations tbat live wholly
or partly in North America. 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. Tbeir expressions are as free
and lofty as those of any civilized
man, and tbey speak the voices of
tbe things ot e&na ana among wnicn
their wild life ' is oast. Their lan
guage beiug too limited to afford a
wealth of diction, tbey make up ia
ideas in the shape of metaphor fur
nished by all nature around tbem,
and read from the great book which

Within tbe last eighteen years,
twelve falls of meteoric stones bave
occurred in tbe United States, of
which specimens have been collecttd.
Eight oi these falls took place in the
prairie region of the West, exiendiug
from Ohio t Kansas, and from Ken
tacky to Wisconsin, inclusive. Pro
fessor J. 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.

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,

"Rv you think you can do any

"Wby, of course I can."
"Well, here, just distinguish your

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. Va.iIiiijfon
