FEEDING FOWLS PROPERLY. Most people take for granted that they, at least, "know how to feed chickens," and almost everybody has a different way of doing It. My father used to Bay, "A boy who cats well will work well." and fowls must be taught to eat well not bo over-fed, however, or emmmed, but provided with a vari ety of food to such an oxtent as to cre ate an appetite for something continu ally. A laying hen is a perfect mill, and, while her usefulness lasts, should always bo kept grinding. I do not mean by that to keep a box of food be fore her continually, for what boy would caro very much for pumpklu pic if n hugo pio was kept at his sldo continually? Tho point to be gained is to keGt) thn fltU't Pntlltp. nnrt lrnnn her hungry, too; honco the necessity oi variety, juci corn, oats, cracked corn, wheat screenings, meal pudding, rvo. soaked criinknrn. hncttvhniit nin follow each other in succession, and, ior siuo uisnes ana uesscrt, supply chopped bones (If directly from the liutehor. with finmo mnnf. nn tlinm en much tho bettor), and, if confined, plonty of green food; if near tho water. puuuuuu aiiLMi-iiaii isneus anu an; ami crabs chopped fine. By so doing, your fowls aro not required to cat tho same thing moro than twice each weok,and tho result Is, they always have good appotltos, thrlvo well, and tho grand result is at onco achieved plonty of eggs and healthy fowls.

WILLAMETTE FARMER. A Map 1,700 Ykaiw Old. Harper's Weekly has dono a good thing in republishing Pto lemy's May of tho World, from tho copy print ed at Rome iu 1B07, and now in poMcssion of tho American Geographical Society. Kvery one interested in tho subject may now convince himself that tho knowledge of the ancionU was astonishingly exact, so far as it extended.
