"According to statistics very carehilly onmpHed," says a writer in La Nature, "we throw away yearly aqnaiitiiy of chicken feathers, the intrinsic value of which is equal to the money which we y out for cotton.'' A startling statement, but the author considers it true ; and he proceeds to explain how the feathers .ire prepared to render them valuable : The operation is to cut the plume portions of the feath ers from the stem, by the means 0'' ordinary liand scissor. 'I ho tor mer are placed in quantities in a coarse ha, which, when full, is closed and subjected to a thorough k' eading with the hands. At the end of five minutes, the leathers, it is staled, become disintegrated and felted together, forming a down, perfectly homogeneous and of great lightness. It is even lighter than natural eider dawn,- because the latter contains the ribs of the feath ers, which give extra weight. Tl e material thus prepared is vorth, a lid readily sells in Paris for about two dollam a pound About 1 b TrAy ounces of (his down can be obtained from the leathers of an ordinary sized ffille; B'lfl this 01 t!ie above valuation is with alwut 20 cents. It is suegested that through the winter,- the children might collect all the feathers about a la nn, and cut the ribs out as we have stated. By the sprbg-time a large quantity oi down would be prepared, which would be disposed ot to upholsterers, or employed for domestwse, Ge feathers inay be treated in a similar manner, and thus two-thirds of tlte .product of tlielbifdlAili, uitetid ioi" ta.ly about one-fifth, as is at present the case. lie cmcKcn nown r .

There seems to be a giKid opportunity hero far some ingeuius penuji ) invent machines to cut and treat the feathers. ' What Sep Milt tiure.
