Thero is o movomcnt on foot to reor ganize Iho Nortli Pnciflo Poultry and Pot stock association into a Btock corn-pan-. Tlio move is u good ono. Tlio old organization has not boon very suc cessful. This month finds tlio poultry nil busy with their little chicks. Wo invito our poultry friends to con tribute to tlio columns of this depart ment. Givo us your experiences in plain English and in ns few vords as possible. SOME MORE EXPERIENCE. Porhaps tlio Farmer friends will think that the poultry editor has stopped down from hia high ladder when ho assorts that a chicken lioueo is An abominable thing in a poultry yard, and a regular nuisanco for at least nino months in the your. Vo confidently assert thnt that thero has boon moro fowls killed by lico in hen houses than thero has boon by coons and foxos, in tlio wholo Willamotto valloy. Immngino, render, our sixteen years fighting lico out of hen houses, and then liavo to como down to puro air of heaven nnd a good fir trco for our fowls to roost in. Immagino author, our mechanical and cozy breed ing houses, all torn down and used for othor purposes, whilo a simplo roost in tho contro of each yord about two foot high, nnd two boards taukod together ngninst tho fonco nnd on tho ground, forming n box for laying purpose's, ond our ornamental display of poultry fix tures. Wo prefer to keep n good Coolio dog and discard our hen houses ornn montcd with lico nnd unhealthy chick ens. Wo find our fowls nil healthy nnd th'oy lay fifty per cent, bettor. Our chicks nro raised with but litttlo loss r.nd wo havo tho satisfaction of knowing that our tinio is not sponi in vain. Wo havo not been killing ton thousand mil lion lico to-day and got up in tho morn ing nnd find ton thousand million at thoir funeral. to fatten n largo flock. Thoy aro easily restrained, not Kiit'jt ct to disease seldom die, and if t.u-v do tho fenthora havo paid tlio cost. It is surprising So many people aro without feather bods when thoy may bo so cosily obtainod by keen ine ceeso 6r ducks. Besides thero is nothing that makes a moro palatable dish than a well prepared ynung gooso or duck. In speaking of varioties, wo havo two new upccies ; they originated hero several years ago, and aro known as tho whito and groy or bluo swan geese. Thoy occupy about tho samo position to tho gooso tribo ns tho Plym outh Rock and Wynndottca do among chickens. Tho whito variety will weigh at maturity about twenty-fivo pounds per pair, in color very closely resombling tho Aylsbury duck. Thoy aro very tall; neck long, slim and very gracefully curved ; body long and nicely roundod ; bill and shanks a reddish-orango. To sco thorn is to ndniiro them and want somo of them. Thoy nro not so noisy as tho old-fashioned kind, nor arc thoy so largo ns tho gray or bluo variety. When a dozon oggs bring nearly ns much in tho markot as n pound of but ter ns thoy do in tho winter tho far mer who keeps hens nnd manages them well is ahoad of tho farm dairyman whoso cons can hardly return enough to pay for'their keeping.

Wo promised our rcadora last wintor to. givo our experiment as to which would Iny tho most oggs, tho Wyan dotte or tho Plymouth Hock. Wo took ono breeding pen of 'yandottes con sisting of eight hens and ono pon of Plymouth Hocks containing samo num ber nnd found during tho last two months and n half, thnt tho Wynndottca had layed one-fifth moro oggs than tho Plymouth Ilocks. Both pens had had exactly tho samo care, and four in each pon woro well maturod pullets and tho othor four in ench pon woro two-year old lions. During tho two nnd n hnlf months soven of tho Plymouth Rocks went to setting nnd wero broken np. Two of tho soven wero brokon twice. During tho samo titn two of tho Wynn dottes went to setting onco. Wo find tho Wynndotto easy to break from set ting, much moro so than tho Plymouth Rock, and aro not so much inclinod to sot whon each litter of eggs is layed. This gives thorn tho ndvnntago in pro ducing tho largest number of eggs in a given length of timo. Wo havo also given tho two breeds a fair test as to quality of meat. Whilo young wo gavo tho Wynndotto tho proferouco, but after ton months old wo prefer tho Plymouth Recks, as thoy then tako on fat, whilo tho Wyandotte is moro inclined to pro duce oggs. Wo also pitted our peu of Wynndottca against a pen of like num ber of IJrown Leghorns to too if wo could not get as many eggs from thorn in tho samo length of timo as wo did from tho Leghorns, bnt wo gavo this up as a failuro. Tho Leghorns will produce one-third moro eggs in tho summer than tho Wyandotte and about tho same in tho winter. Our readers may differ with us but nothing would pleaso us bettor than to hear this sido discussed through theso columns.

More About Raising Qmv A correspondent of tho Poultry Raiser has this to say about this profitable branch of poultry raising : I must agree with yoa that if the im proved breeds are used there is nothing connected with tho poultry yard that will pay as well for tho labor and money expended as geese. I have often heard that a prairie chicken is ready to run before the shell is off its back, bo we might say a gosling will eat grass near ly as soon, and requires but little grain until fattening time, and on mot farms therein enough scattered grain wasted Our wheat prospects aro low bocnueo of tho competition of India. Up to 1881 India exported to Great Britain but 0, uuu.wu imsuois or wiicat. J.nat year sho exported 18.380,000 bushels' This increnso is partly duo to tho extension ef tho Indinn railway system, which in threo years has bcon incrcasod from 10,-852- miles to 12,374 miles. Tho English administration of India proposes to add 1000 miles n year to tho prosont railway system until 701-1 miles of broad gaugo road havo been built. Our oxport of whoat under this competition has al ready fallen from if 212,715,000 in value in 1881 to $88,701,000 in 1880. Our potroloum exports aro threatened by tho investment of tho ltothschilds in tho moro thorough development of tho Russian mineral district. A Suggestion to the Traveling Public Touri'ts, emigrants and mariners find that Hootetcer'a Stomach Bitters is a medicinal safesuard against unhealthy Influences, upon which they can implicitly rely, since it pre vent the effect of vitiated atmosphere, un accustomed or unwholesome diet, bad water or other conditions unfavorable to health. On long voyages, or journeys in latitudes adja cent to the equator, it is especially useful as a preventative of the ferbile complaint and disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, which aro apt to attack native of the temper ate zone sojourning or traveling in such re gions, and it is an exellent protection against the Influence of extreme cold, sndden changes of temperature, exposure to damp or extreme fatisue. It not only prevent intermittent and remittent fever, and other diseases of a malarial type, but eradicates them, a fact which ha been notorious for years past in North and South America, Mexico, the West Indies, Australia and other countries. The lost report of tho department of agriculture shows that tho general and execssivo indebtedness of tho farming class have been greatly reduced from what it was ton years ago. In tho older states tho wealth of tho farming classes is now far in excess of tho total indebt edness, bnt in tho newly-opened sections we6t of tho Mississippi tho burden of in debtedness is still severely felt. Tho re port says that our existing war tariff makea the cost of farm supplies need lessly heavy and places tho agriculturist at disadvantage, and attention is also called to tho fact that farm labor is very high. On this point tho report says it is not at all improbablo that ua reduc tion in the wages of farm labor will bo one of the movements in effecting an adjustment of values which at present are by no m earns equal. J. no tendency of tho times is towards lower rates of wages in all industries in this country, and it is a movement to be deprecated and delayed in tho interest of a higher plane of culture and comfort for the working masses, if it cannot be wholly averted."

Tho farmors of Nebraska hnvo ngnin takon hold of Grnngo work in enrnest. Brother O. L. Whitney, who has bcon working in tho Stnto ns Deputy Loc turcr of tho National Orange with much success, writes: "I havo tho pleasure of announcing to tho world nnd tho frater nity that tho Nebraska Stato Grange represents 2G Subordinate Grangoa and ovor 000 mombcta in tho State. Thoy aro woll officered,, nnd start oil" in unity. Thoy havo como to stay. Active Dcpu- utios nro nl onco put in-tho Hold. I ex pect thoy will soon numbor 100 Granges and 2,000 membors." Nebraska was ono of tho three States thnt lost their Stnto Grnngo organization in tho reaction thnt followed in tho hasty orgnnizntion of years ngo, with its mistakes, its fnlso friends, and misconception or misappli cation of tho truo principles of tho Grange. But Grnngo truth is cternnl, and must go forward, nnd thus ono more proof is givon thnt when onco under stood the Ordorof Patrons of llusbondry must grow and prosper. Nebraska is indeed wolcomo onco moro to Cur great union of Grnngo States. National Grnngo lecturo work is being pushed in othor directions, and thoso Statos that aro willing to help thorn solves, nnd desiro to tnko part in tho gonuino and general revival of Grnngo work now going on, will rccoivo nil pos siblo nid nnd encourngomont.

Tho twenty-sixth session of tho Ar kansas Legislature is now in session nt Littlo Rock. Spcnking of its member ship, tho Rural and Workmnn says: "Tho social, intellectual and political make-up of this body differs from that of former bodies of this chnrnctor, owing to tho fact that tho farmer elomont is moro numerous than heretofore, which taking it all in all, is n decidod improve ment which wo trust nnd boliovo will re sult in great good to tho interest of thnt class of our citizens." Thero are tens of thousands of good fanners in tho Granges of Canada, ono of thorn truthfully exprcssos tho sonti- ments of all our vast membership on both sides of tho lines that divido thoso who aro governed either by President or Queen : "Our ordor socks no forciblo solution of tho 'Labor question.'

"What a poky world this would bo if we should all get into tho ruts I Let ua be up and doing, organize in Grangoa or clubs (tho Grango is tho better becauso linked with similar organizations throughout tho country, State and Na tion), and mako tlio year lively and pro ductive of great good. If wo do no moro than got together for a social time it will pay ; but we can just as well do much more. Organization is tho watchword of tho times.
