TUe Wyandottes-How to Mats and Breed. Perhaps of all tho many breeds known to tho civilized world, tho Wyandotto is tho most difficult to breed true to feath er. It is now conceded generally that they originated from a cross of tho Hamburg and tho dark Brahma. Their make-up and general characteristics show tho blood of theso two brcods strongly. Of Into ycarB thero havo bcon somo crosses from other breeds, but thoro is no doubt but what tho Wyan dotto originated from tho two nbovo mentioned brcods. Tho Wyandotto is particulary interesting, both to tho fan cier and to all intorcstcd in poultry, both for ploasuro and profit. No breed known in tho history of fowl culturo has como into prominence eo quickly and grown in public favor as tho Wyan dotto. Thny havo combined in tlicm beauty and usefulness, and scorn to como nearer to tho requirements of an nil purposo fowl than nny and all other breeds known to our fowl history. Dur ing our breeding of tho Wyandotto of tho past four years, wo havo bocomo wondorfully attached to them nnd found them particularly interesting, and tho study of how to breed to produco that dolicato and beautiful lacing nnd yet retain tlicir usolul qualities Das been a plcasuro to us that wo havo not enjoyed with any of tho many breeds thnt wo havo brod. Boauty is ono of tho many qualities of tho Wyandotto that tho brocdor should havo in viow whon mak ing up tho breeding pons, and groat caution should bo takon to get tho proper lacing. In selecting tho mulo to conform with tho Standard require ments, ho should bo rather low and broad in build. Tho lacing should rathor predominate with black on tho breast, shading darker towards tho neck and hiddon by tho hocklo feathers. Tho foathors on tho lower port of tho breast Hhould bo about equally half whito and black. Tho undor part of tho plumago all over tho body should bo a dark gray. Tho saddle, and in fact tho wholo bock should bo light gray with no laced feathers, but tho doublo panglcd bars of whito and black across tho wings should always bo distinct for without this characteristic, boauty is all lost in tho main itself and will bo in nearly all nf the offspring. Tho tail should be a nolirt lustrous black and very heavy and full, hhort and curving well downward. Tho comb sjiould bo small and tho back and point of tho comb should curvo downward on n lino with tho neck. Tho hackle should bo full and of a grayish whito color, wi.h dark dolicato stripos down tho center of each foathor. Such a malo would produco a largo percent of fino chicks from al most any of tho females that might bo mated to him. To produco tho best re sults from this male, lions should havo about thrco-tifths of each feather black on tho breast with under parts woll frosted. Wo will tako up other matings in onr next. Tbe Farmer and the Poultry. Many poor farmers aro reluctant to tako poultry or eggs to market, becauso of a.falso pride. Thoy regard tho busi ness of keeping fowls as out of their sphere, n kind of old woman's occupa tion, with which they cannot afford to meddle. U tho same timo, tho thrifty wifo may be making more clear profit on poultry, than tho f armor makes from a small farm. Thero aro thousands of such farmers in tho Northwest. It is no wondor that sometimes tho wifo gets tho idea that John is alow, and not try ing to pull his half of tho load. Ho does not even lend encouragement to her efforts. Ho grumbles about the feed they consume, and takes no inter est in building houses or coops. He even declares that poultry is a positive detriment, and points to the struggling garden as a pi oof, when tho real' caum of failure is, that the same piece of ground is planted year after year with no fertilizer. He never compliment! his wifo for the niro chickons or fresh eggs oho Hem on tho tablo. from her thrifty poultry dodartmont. Folso idoas about poultry is not posesecd by all small farmers. Thoro aro many young men, who havo retairied from thoir boy hood cxporionco an intetcst in tho way of egg-production, and givo hoarty coop oration to tho wife. Thoy enter as heartily into planning, and building a chicken houso, as for a horso-stablo or a hog-pen. Thoy feel a glow of prido whon tho economical wifo takes onough oggs to town to pay for tho groceries, or soils enough chickona in winter to pay for a much covotod sewing machine. Ono of tneir pleasures is to enlogizo tho good things presented on tho tablo from tho poultry Iioubc Whilo deciding what agricultural paper thoy will sub soribo for, they tako caro that it shall bo ono having a livo poultry department. Tho ubo of tools, and tho construction of coops, nots, etc., havo boon so caro fully excluded from tho education of most women, that thoir efforts noed to bo supplemented by thoso of tho hus band. Whilo tho selection of asuitablo brocd, if puro brod fowls aro desired, noed not 'interest him bo much as tho select ion of a breed of cattlo for his barns; still tho battlo of tho broods in poultry is worthy as groat minds as his own. Tho plan of permanent poultry house, when tho timo comes to afford one, should command his wido-awako interest. How to mako tho poultry pay for n fonco around tho gardon, should bo of intorcst to all. Poultry books read aloud in tho family circle, should bo aliko of intorcst to tho wifo and husband. TJis Most Agreeablo A woll m the most effective method of die pelltag Headache, Coldi, and Fevers or cleans inn tho system, is bv taking a 'few doses of the pleasant California liquid fralt remedy. Syrup o( Fiee. 60o and $1 bottlci for talo by all druggists, Crops for Poultry Food. In arranging for gardon and field crops tho coining season, thn farmer who has poultry should sco that something is raised specially for themi Sunflow ers aro easily grown, and furnish n val uablo food for poultry. They can bo drilled in rows around tho edgo of the corn-fioid, and need no moro attention than being cultivated with tho corn. A small patch of millet, ryo, oats or wheat will only need sowing on well prepared ground, tho fowls will do tho harvesting if allowed. A fow hills of ambor cano will not como amiss. For tho wintoror for fowls kopt up in summor, green food in the way of lettuce, cabbage, turnips, onions, carrotc, potatoes, parsnips, and grass should bo provided. Unnecessary Misery. Trobably as much misery comes from constipation as from any dorangoment of tho functions of tho body, and it is difficult to euro, for tho reason that no ono likes to tako tho medicino usually proscribed. IlAWiuitn Fias wcro pre pared to obviato this difficulty, and thoy will bo found pleasant to tho tasto of women and children. 20 cents. At aU druggists. J. J. Mack fe Co., proprie tors, 8. F. Tho "American Agriculturist" Bays : Whon tho snow is knoo-dcop and every thing scaled with ice, hens will rcquiro tho best of caro. A hen is as helpless in tho snow an though sho had no legs at all. Sho must havo somo placo, how ever, whoro food, water and tho dust- bath aro accessible for sho will not lay if compelled to crouch on tho floor boncath tho roosts. With snow on tho ground tho world is a wilderness to hens ; thoy havo no inducement to lay, anu will quickly dolor ogg production until spring invites them to bogin. Tho food at such times should bo given warm nnd on boards, A clean placo should bo mado for thorn, and tho house ren dered as comfortable as possible Tho main factor in ogg production is warmth and dryness. It may involvo labor to romovo enough snow to afford them room, but it must bo dono, or thero will bo no eggs. Tho valuo of a good, warm shed will bo moro appreciated by tho hens whon tho snow is on tho ground, for thoy prefer to bo in tho open nir during the day-time, and their health is greatly improved thereby.

Ilia children were simiUrly alT-cted and a tingle doie had the same happy affect. Dr. King's New Dis covery is now the standard remedy in the Coleman household and on board the schooner.

It is admitted on all sides that anoth er crisis is at hand in our history as a Nation. Capital and labor are drawing tho lines moro sovcroly with every pass ing day. Will tho farmers of Amorica arise to tho occasion, and, conservative aa thoy aro, bocomo tho "go botweon" for theso two giants, bIiow thorn both tho evil of thoir ways, and mark out tho safo, middlo ground, where caoh can stand tho equal of tho other! Capital is absorbing onr wealth, and labor wants all of our land. Capital and labor both, in all parties, nro asking for "froo raw materials." Tho makers of fraudulent butter aro combines to repeal our law. Morchants gambling in "futures" unsct tlo tho valuo of our products. Discrim ination in laws, taxes and transporta tion uro against tho farmer. Wo muBt demand equality in all things. Our Na tional ilnancial systom is Boon to bo en tirely roorganizod. Will it bo for tho pcoplo or for copl talf Our transportation questions aro as yet unsettled, yot wo aro winning somo of tho final battles. Patrons, farm ers, oh a pooplo and as a class, wo nover had so important duties resting upon ub as now. Will wo bo equal to tho needs of tho hour? Will wo bo united and strong for tho fray T Shall wo continuo to go forward or go backward? Our ac tion, our work now, will holp answer theso questions. Lot us roalizo our re sponsibilities. Nerve ourselves for tho labors, and seriously, aye, solomnly enter upon tho duties of tho hour, remembering tho chargo,"Cast foith thy not, thy word, in to tho over-living, over-working universes it is a seed-grain that cannot dio; unno ticed to-day, it will bo found flourishing as a banyan grove perhaps, alas, as a poisonous homlock forost after a thous and years." Senator llawloy, of Connecticut, late ly delivcrod an address boforo tho stu- dontB of Hamilton College! in which ho mado somo good points. Just suoh ad vico is found in tho precepts of tho Grange "Wo demand respect for law and government from thoso who would destroy all government and solidify all property. As educated young mon, you must not forgot that tho Lord and your country havo domands an you for what you havo of talent. To bo a politician in tho best sonso is second only to bo a ministor of tho Lord Jesus Christ. Tho most cowardly thing on God's footstool is to run away from your Govornment. Though, you may not bo an activo politician, keep inform ed in matters of poltlcs. Alwnys go to the caucus, tho beginning of govern ment. Know what is being done, and sco that it is dono rightly. Do your duty ovorywhero as scholars and American citizons, and ovorywhoro above tho plumo and tho bayonets shall wave tho lillics and tho palms of love and peaco." Tho foreign landlord is getting a firmer hold in our country every year. They do not even livo among us, but draw their rents from American farm ers, their tenants-at-will, in immenso sums. Tho duko of Southorland, who is now in this country on a visit, owns 425,000 acres of land. Ho has a littlo patch of 1,358,000 acres in England. The Grange has already taken up this question of alien landlords. Our motto should be "not another acre of Amcr- ca's free soil for a foreigner who will not live amouk. us, become a citizen, and share our dangers and our des tiny."
