POULTRY NOTES. —lt is generally con ceded by the . majority of poultry breed ers that a meat diet is essential during cold weather, when worms, bugs and insects are not to be found by the birds. Bnt though considered necessary to atone for the lost insect food, it should be used sparingly and not feed too of ten to young fowls. _ In - winter and early spring, to- keep up egg production, the fowls must have something to wont on. The hest way to supply them, if there is not enongh of waste meat soaps from the breeder's table to meet theveguired demand, is to get serapsfrom the butcher or slaughter house. The, waste meat, offal and the bloody pieces which are unsalable, can be bought for a cent or two a pound. MOEN . S -.Xf ME 4t, inhuman Son.

Such a raffle, however, an exchange says, took place in this State ,a short time ago. A Pennsylvania farmer, living near a railroad station, wanted to sell his farm and adopted a novel method. He sold 188 tickets at $5O each, making a total of $9,400. The farm was cutup into 188 lots, varying in value and size. the larest and most valuable being the farm b iildings, with twenty-three acrea of land; worth about $3,000. At a stated time the ticket-holders assembled at the farm. The tickets were numbered and corresponded with the number of lots, hence there were , no blanks. Every holder drew a lot. The wife of the proprietor of a hotel drew the lot of twenty-three acres with,the farm build ings. One gentleman was the lucky Winner of a corner lot suitable for a store. The gathering - was an .raccasion that will long be remembered in the place whet() it manned. It because a woman is exactly afraid of a cow that she runs away and screams, but it is because gored dresses are not fashionable. 4* 'Oh, by the way, dear; have: you cos gratulated Lily on her engagement?' asked Miss ,Flouncer of her friend.
