®he jHtntrt ilcpavtmrnt. Poultry. BY C. X. BK.VENT. How many monotonous existences have been made cheerful by the poul try fancy ! How many acquaintances commenced in a fellow-feeling in this pursuit have become cemented into lasting friendships !• and how many homes have been rendered more at tractive by the addition of a poultry yard, on account of the interesting occupation which it creates, uncon nected with profit and produce. " When we had poultry-shows to goto," says an English writer, "for a little quiet recreation, while emula tion and sympathy unite to render a visit to a neighbor's poultry yard attractive, and while our own at home furnishes daily and hourly objects of interest, the amateur's life can never be a dull one; a gleam.of sunshine, a shower cf rain, a warm wind or cold one, assume an interest which they did not possess before. There is al ways something going on—a house must be built, a boundary line alter ed, the yard enlarged, a defective fence (which serveed for the Cochins and Brahmas) must be raised to keep in the' Spanish, the Ilamburgs, .the Games and the l'olanders. Then, Jif one home in every town be made more pleasant to its owner; if one family in each be made more united in the love of our pursuit, if one dull life in each be changed into a cheer ful one the great poultry movement may boast a double triumph. And there is another important matter connected with this poultry subject, not to be estimated in dol lars and cents, but of full more con sequence than either. It is the so cial and moral influence they exert, especially on the junior members of the family—more particularly the boys. The tenants of the poultry yard,with their youngling broods, are the things, of all others, which first catch and rivet the attention and determine their devotion to rural life. By their withdrawing their thoughts from trifling games, viscious sports and indulgences, or idle, worthless habits, a great point is gained towards developing and muturing the future useful members of society. It is known that farmer's Sons are rising to manhood, and they are not supposed to be made up of cold attri tions, but have social ailinities requir ing mental aliment corresponding to the development and nourishment of these affinities. They should live under a genial sun, be fed with re freshing showers, and then receive the care of a most social culturist. The llower and vegetable garden are useful fields, are all-attractive with their varied products of beauty and utility, yet they fail to enlist that sympathy and feeling which attract ive animal life affords. What better occupation then, or rather, what bet ter amusement can the boys have than to care for and feed, and watch over the poultry-yard V In this way they may clothe themselves and pay for their books without interfering with the school exercises or any reasona ble labor expected from them in any other things. If thought desirable, let this be one of their standing per quisites. llappy for the poor, poultry is just the stock which any of them can buy, feed and rear, however humble their capacity may be. The young, the feeble, the halt and the invalid can look after the poultry, as well as the strongest. It is true the poultry de partment comes more particularly to the care of the "gudo" house wive ; but the younger branches of the fam ily should take it in hand, particular-, ly the bvyx ; and the farmer should furnish the means to obtain the best sorts, convenient houses to keep them in, not too rigidly guard the corn crib. A few additional ears of corn will pay compound interest; and a leisure hour in providing them comfort will be far from misspent. Comparatively few who have not the advantage of an extended farm can indulge in the luxury of improved fiocks and extensive herds, but al most every one, not closely hemmed in by the brick walls of a city, can gratify their own taste, and excite that of their children, by keeping a few choice fowls, they are preferable to the usual pets, dogs, cats and sing ing birds ; less danger from disease to them; much more variety, more scope for ingenuity in rearing and attending, ami we will uot add on which side the profit is likely to be. If for uo other reason than to lutcrest the children in a useful, attractive pursuit, we would say to any person who has the room, bv all weans keep some select poultry. ' There will be no doubt about the pro fits of keeping poultry iu the midst of those who keep strict accounts; that is, if they manage thciu judiciously. JSo poultry-keeper has a right to complain o want of success, if he neglects keeping a regular account of food consumed, and profit by fowls and eggs sold. \\ itliout this he is groping in the dark, and the usual termination of such undertakings cud in disappointment and loss. This hint, we iuiagiuc, may provo of service to many of those who can.least afford to suffer loss by their poultry, and most desire to increase their gains; for, after all, it is only by following out a reg ular system of management that any per son can expect to satisfy himself that his fowls, of whatever breed they may be, do really pay. Many dislike the little trouble it may create, and looking upon it as an insignificant item, are apt to say, when asked for their opinion, "I believe it tiavs but cannot speak positively," and arc contented togo on as before; but at the same time they have no right to be surprised if their calculations neither convince others nor fill their own pock ets. Near large cities most poultry-keepers i prefer raising early chickens particularly those who rear for market, as they then bring a great price; but it is not all pro fit. They are some trouble to rear, and many will bo lost from inclement weath er. The earliest broods of March and April, if well attended and well fed, will be ready for market by the first of July, and will then com maud the highest price, say from 70 to 80 cents per pair, which pays a better profit than ever after. Hut it is the later broods that now de mand our attention. As the weather is warm, the mother hens with their little families of younglings should have large, airy coops, and the coopsjplaced abroad; but in all cases a dry and iiuiet location should be chosen, near the house, on account of the conve nience of feeding them, and where the clucks are not in danger of being trodden upon by either man or beast, nor where the hen will be roasted by the heat of the sun, or where there is danger of the chickens being carried ofl' by hawks and crows. It is not a bad practice to place hens with their broods in the vicinity of the kitchen garden. A hen with a dozen chickens, then being confined in a coop, will do more to secure the preservation of the vegetables than a man ; they not only obtain the greater part of their living, but are of great service in de stroying large numbers of bugs, worms insects, and their eggs, which are so injurious to vegetation, which they annihilate and convert into a source of profit instead of a loss, by devour ing them as food. We have experi enced some difficulty, however, in this, for the hawks, and even the crows, would pounce upon them ; and where the vegetables such as beans and peas-, were pretty rank, the rats will take shelter, lie in ambush, and catch the young chickens, when run ning among them. It is well to look to these evils, and we would also advise their removal after they are a month or so old, or they will become so attached to the garden that it will be difficult to keep them out. The coops should not be placed too near each other, as the chickens arc apt to mix and get into the wrong coop, and some hens are so cross that they often kill small strange chickens. At the end of six or seven weeks the hen may be allowed her liberty, after the dew is off in the morning and the weather fair ; and if a mov able coop be employed, the door may be let open, or it may be propped up with a stick, and the hen will return to it at night of her own accord, when it may be let down and kept so until the dew of the morning is off. At the end of two weeks more they may be turned into the poultry-yard. As they will at first hardly receive fair play in the distribution of food, it will be necessary to prepare for them a feeding-coop, so that they may en joy their food without being disturbed by the other fowls. This may be ef fected by driving strips of boards or stakes in the ground, leaving spaces between just wide enough to prevent the grown fowls from entering, en circling a space five or six feet in di ameter and about two feet high, cov ered with boards, through which should be a small aperture or door, where the feed may be putin the feeding-box made<frr the purpose. When chickens arc confined to a narrow space it requires much pain to supply them with all the kinds of food which they collect when running at large; and without care to supply their wants, they will not thrive well or be profitable. When running at large in a lawn or pasture lot, thev devour many insects and grubs, ancl many kinds of herbage, various sorts of seeds, and many other things which we cannot discriminate, though we look on while they select their food. To ensure rapid and full growth of chickens, good, substantial food should be given them with a liberal hand; there is no economy in half starving them. Ground oats and boiled potatoes mashed and moisten ed with milk (if a little soured none the -worse) will increase their flesh, while corn will fatten them. The food is a matter of much variety, as various articles are used for the pur pose of fattening fowls. In Buenos Ayres they are mado quite fat by feeding 011 the dead horsos ; it being no unoommon thing to sec a hen with a whole brood of chickens coming out of the carcass of a dead horse. The flavor of their ilesh must be abomi nableand that of their eggs but a little better. MARYLAND A FREE STATE. —The ac tion of the Constitutional Convention of Maryland in declaring, by a vote of 53 ayes to 27 nays, that neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall hereafter ex ist in that State, is an important part of the record of the times. It is believed that the people will sustain their action no less decisively ; while Maryland will enter on a new career of growth and pros perity. Joy It is not difficult to account for the courage of the rebels. Being reduc ed to skin and bone, they can shrink at nothing. te?" The New Orleans Jura says that Gen.

Now, men of the Nortji! will you join In the -rtrife 1 For country, f<>r fVMdofn, f>r honor, for life ? The giant grows blind in his fury and spite— One blow on his forehead will guttle the fight! Fliuh full in his eves the blue lightning of steel. And stun hiin with cannon-bolts peal upon peal! Mount, troopers, and follow your game to Its lair, As the hound tracks the wolf, and the beagle the hare! Blow, trumpets, your summons, till sluggards awake! Beat, drums, till the roofs of the faiut-heiirted shake! Vet, yet, ere the signet is stamped on the scroll, Their names may be traced ou the blood-sprinkled roll I Trust not the false herald that painted your shield; True honor TO-DAY must be sought on the field: Her 'scutcheon shows white with a blaze of red— The life drops of crimson for liberty shed! The hour is at hand, and the moment draws nigh! The dog-star of treason grows dim in the «ky! Shine forth from th«- battle cloud light of the morn, Call back the bright hour when the nation was born! The rivers of peace through our valleys shall run, As the glaciers of tyranny melt in the sun; Smite, smite the proud parricide down from his throne, His sceptre once broken, the world is our own! THE FINANCIAL SITUATION. —The following is the concluding portion of an encouraging article on the finan cial situation in the New York Tri bune : "Our internal revenue system, still in its infancy, is steadily increasing in productiveness. At first it yield ed less than four millions per month; it lias steadily increased, until the yield of this month will exceed twelve millions, while that of the first half of the current year will be about six ty millions. In a few days our new taxes and enhanced rates under the act now pending before CongreßS will take effect, and will raise the Na tional income from internal taxes alone to at least two hundred and fif ty millions ; to which, if we add the receipts from duties on imports, our total national revenue for the fiscal year just before us will reach at least three hundred millions, and perhaps one million per day, But for the pestilent influence of disloyalty, our public debt will to-day be worth eighty or ninety per cent, in gold, instead of fifty to sixty. It is the money power of the sympathizers with the slave-holders' rebellion that bears it down. "Three or four months before the close of our LastJWatf with Great Brit ain, the Government borrowed the de preciated notes of non-specie paying banks at twelve per cent interest, re ceiving about §37 in those deprecia ted notes for every SIOO of its own bonds. And then those who lent their monny were hooted by their Federal ueighber as besotted fools, who were squandering their substance to uphold a ruinous contest. l a We shall yet shame the panic-makers of the passing hour." WHY BEF.S WORK IN TIIKDARK.—A life-time might be spent in investigating the mysteries hidden in a bee-hive, and still half the secrets would be undiscov ed. The formation of the cell has long been a celebrated problem for the mathe matician, whilst tlio changes which the honey undergoes offer an equal interest to the chemist. Every one knows wliat honey fresh from the eomb is like. It is a elear, yel low syrup, without a trace of solid sugar in it. Upon straining, however, it grad ually assumes a crystalline appearance— it candies, as the saying is, and ultimately becomes a solid mass of sugar. It has not been suspected that this change was due to a photographic action; that the same agent which alters the molecular ar rangement of the iodine of silver on the excited eollodinon plate, and determines the formation of camphor and iodine crys talline appearance. This, however, is really the case. M. Sclieiblcr has enclosed honey in stoppered flasks, some of which he has kept in total darkness, while others have been exposed to the light. The invaria ble result has been that the sunned por tion rapidly crystalizes, whilst that kept in the dark remained perfectly liquid. Wc now see why bees arc so careful to work in utter darkness, and why they ob scure the glass windows which are some times placed in their hives. The exist ence of their young depends on the li quidity of the saccharine food presented to them, and if light were allowed access to this, the syrup would gradually acquire a solid consistency; it would seal up the cells, and in all probability prove fatal to the inmates of the hive. REBEL VIEWS OF DEMOCRATIC POLI CY. —The Richmond Examiner of the 13th inst, has a long article on the Presi dency. in which, after indulging in much ribaldry on the nominations at Baltimore, it expresses its sympathy with the Demo- of the North, and says they "have waited four years, not too patiently, and are now universally turning their thoughts to Franklin Pierce and the Connecticut Seymour as their nominees for President and Vice President. To give thcni the hast chunce of electing those two advo cates of peace. Grant must be defeated, the invasion must collapse and die out, and the very name of war must become a word of horrur. uttered with loathing and execra tion. Therefore, it is the interest of the Democrats to do their very utmost to weak en the Federal army, discredit Federal fi nance*, in short, to extinguish the war al together, in order to extinguish the party which invented the war and governs it and lives by it. For all this we look to the Confederate army. Lee, Beauregard and J ohnston can both give the Yankees a President and make us well rid of them and their Presidents forever." B®, The Radical Germans of Chicago have published a protest against the late Cleveland Convention —or rather against the delegates thereto from Chicago, who were not elected by a majority of the As sociation. Th'ey declare themselves for the nomination of (be Baltimore Convention, and will discountenance every effort to divide the Union party LEOAI< ADVERTISEMENTS. ■ Administrator's Notice.

And ill's unprecedented currency it has achieve*l by very liberal expenditures iu procuring en Iv and authentic intelligence, by the fearle-s expres sion of Convictions, by the free employment of ability and IndiiMiy wherever it contribute to excellence in any department or on. - enterprise, and bv unshrinking fidelity to the dictates of Justice, Uumatiity, nnd Free dom. By very large outlays for early and authentic advices by telegraph and otherwise from its own correspondents with the various armies of the Union, and by special ef forts io firm Mi such information respecting Markets, Crops, new discoveries or Improvements in Agriculture, ic„ ns iitn s• specially interest fanners,wuhave assldiomdy labored to make a journal calculated lo meet the wants ami subserve tlie interests of the Producing Classes.— Thx• end we liave at least measurably attained; for no other newspaper exists iu America or Europe which Is iiuhiiui'll\ read by nearly so many farmers and their fam ilies as is TiikTriei nk 10-day. We shall labor to Increase IhjHi the number and (lie .satisfaction of this by tiir the most numerous class of its patrons.
