TH HAMBURG FOWL.
'the Hamburg fowl is a very useful and im
portant denizen of our poultry yard. The
hens lay nearly every day until the moulting
reason ; hence they obtained the name of
" everlasting layers," but they very seldom
sit. This is in all probability owing to their
confined condition in this country ; for it is
said that when these birds have a free wood
land range, they frequently set to the task of
incubation with as much diligence as other
fowls. Of this fowl we have three varieties.
The first is the Penciled Hamburg, which is
of two colors—golden and silver—and is very
minutely marked. The hens of both should
Nave the body clearly penciled across with
several bars of black, and the hackle in both
sexes should be perfectly free from dark marks.
The cocks do not exhibit the pencilings, but
are white or brown in the golden or silver
birds respectively. Their form is compact,
and their attitudes graceful and upright. In
addition to their common appointive% they
are also known in different parts of England
as Chitteprates, Creoles or Eorals, Bolton
_Bays and Greys, and in some parts of York
shire by the wrong name of Corsican Fowls.
They are imported in large numbers from Hol
land, but those bred in this country are greatly
superior.
Of the Speckled or Spangled Hamburg,
which is a favorite breed with many persons,
there are two kinds—the golden-spangled and
the silver-spangled. The general color of the
former is golden or orange yellow, each feather
having a glossy dark-brown or black tip, par
tici:la-4y remarkable on the hackles of the
cock• and the wing coverts, and also on the
darker feathers of the breast. The female is
yellow or orange brown, the feathers in like
manner being margined with black. The
silver-spangled variety is distinguished by the
ground color of the plumage being of a silver
white with perhaps a tinge of straw-yellow,
every feather being margined with glossy black.
Both of these varieties are extremely beautiful,
.the hens laying freely.
third variety is the Black Hamburg, the
Omega of which is a beautiful black, with
metallic lustre. It possesses the two-fold ad
vantage of being a noble looking bird and ex
ceedingly good layer. On the whole, the Ham
bn_vgitt. a capital fowl, and one which is de
servedly vain.ed.
I quite agree with Bally in stating the pen
ciled Hambargs should be : Cocks—Double
comb, full of points, ending in a large one at
the end turned up, no hollow in the centre of
it; white deaf ear; ample tail, foundation
color black, but the sickle feathers silvered at
the edge; with Lody, save sometimes a little
spottinglowards the binder parts or a cheat
nut patch on the wing; taper blue legs; very
cheerful carriage. Size and weight are not
essential.
Hens—Double combs, firmly fund on the
head, not inclining to either side; body accu
xotely penciled, each feather being distinctly
marked; ample tail; tapes blue legs; very
cheerful carriage. Size and weight are not
essential. Gold, same as silver, altering one
color for the Other_
spangled Hamburge s—Cooks—Very large
but not disproportioned combs, full of points,
the larger at the extremity pointing upwards ;
dark rim round the eye; slate-colored legs ;
riorided hackle and saddle ; perfectly laced
wing; ample tail, with sickle feather; proud
upright carriage. Hens—Firmly set double
scisb ; slate-colored legs; clearly laced wing,
with black; dark rim round the eyes; span
gled body, neither laced nor penciled ; clouded
hackle ; ample tail, tipped with black.—Scot

FEEDING MEAL TO STOCK.
Dozbtless many of your readers have had
longer experience in feeding meal, and per
haps know as economical and effectual manner
of feeding it as the subscriber. I believe there
are a few, at least, of your patrons, like many
farmers whom I know, who feed from four Co
eight quarts of meal a day to one beef creature,
ti l they feed from seven to ten cwt. of meal
to one beef, and who never slaughter an ordi
nary sized beef that yields upwards of forty
pounds of rough tallow. These farmers feed
their meal dry. This is a great waste. My
practice in fattening beef and swine, as well
as feeding cows for milk, has been to pour boil
ing water en as much meal as would not make
the animal's bowels move too freely, at night
and morning ; when the mush is cool, give it
to the cow or pig. In covering the meal with
belling water in this way, the starch of the
grain is dissolved, and the latent nutritive pro
perties extracted, and the animal receives the
entire nutriment of the grain.
I calculate stock do not, in eating dry meal,
receive more than one-half of the goodness of
the meal. There is not action enough in mas
tication, or heat sufficient in the stomach of
the animal, to extract and receive the entire
and real sweetness of the grain. Had I roots
I should feed them to my fattening beef. But
not having any, I feed only meal and hay, and
I have fattened two ordinary sized cows, two
years past, and to which I only fed three cwt.
of meal each, and they each yielded upwards
of forty pounds of rough tallow. Once a week
I throw into the mush a little salt, and occa
sionally a, table-spoonful of good ashes. My
experience teaches me that one cwt. of meal
as described above, is equal to two cwt. fed
dry. Try it, young farmer, and see if yop
cannot endorse this.
A PORTABLE SHEEP RACK.
sheep farmer of Columbia county, Ohio,
who has tried several kinds of racks, gives the
following description of one, which prevents
tmewiing„ is in every way satisfactory, and oe
simple that any farmer can make one. It con
sists of four posts, three feet long, and, if
made of three by three scantling, will be heavy
cnough. t Two bottom boards, one inch thick
and ten or twelve wide, and two for the top,
one inch thick and five or six wide. These
boards are placed horizontally for the sides of
the rack, and similar boards, two feet long, are
nailed to the posts at each end. The rack may
he about twelve feet long, and two feet is a
very suitable width. Upon these horizontal
hoards are nailed uprights, six inches wide,
and placed six inches apart. This makes a
cheap, portable rack, whioh we like in every
inspect —N E. Farina:

This new and excellent article excels everything ever
before in use, for beautifying and softening the Leather.
It makes a polish MO patent leather; will not rub off
with water, nor stain the finest white silk, and mates
the leather perfectly water-proof. Twice a month ap
plied on boots and shoes, and once a month for harness
is sufficient. If the leather becomes dirty, wash it off
with clean water and the polish will reappear. War
ranted as represented.
DIRECTIONS FOR 17810.—Apply a few drops on a
sponge, rub it slowly over the leather, and the polish is
complete. Trice, 873 E cents per bottle.

BRANDY.
L
THE OHIO CATAWBA BRANDY has, for several
years, been manufactured frem tilt
pure juice of the
AIdERIOAN CATAWBA and ISABELLA GRAPE, and
has attained a rare popularity throughout the West and
South, where great quantities of this superb article is
sold for MEDICINAL and FAMILY purposes. It not
only equals, but excels the most choice IMPORTED
BRANDIES InfIIBITY, QUALITY and RIOHIPMIB OF
FLAVOR, and wherever it has been introduced it had
invariably met the most unqualified favor and extended
sale.
The want of really pure Brandy has long been felt in
this Cettlitry and the opportunity te prOCtlfe as article
of such quality as to supersede the sale and use of the
many vile compounds so often sold under the name of
c , Brandy," can be regarded only as a public good.
L. LYON'S OATAWBA BRANDY possesses all the
Choice qualities of the beat imported liquor, and is poei
trvely known to be of PERPBOT PURITY and of SU
PERIOR FLAVOR.
In support of the above statement, we refer to the
certificate of the undermentioned well-known chemists :
Dr. A. A. Hayes Assayer. Boston, Mass.
Dr. lames R. Chilton & 00., Chemists, New York.
