Raising poultry, for me it or egg*, i* a trade which requires apprenliceuhip and experience to make a profit, from, not tak- ing into account a living for one's self an<t family. To be sure there are thousands of email Hocki, in the yards of mechanics, olerks, baukera.and clergymen, from which, i 10 mi in-y profit is reali/ed, a large profit 10 pleasure and recreation is secured. As a rale a small flock will pay a belter profit than a large one, proporiiona'.ely, for the icaaon th.ii the waste from the kilchen bread, meat and vegetable* from an or- dinary-si/>d family will nearly feed a Mock of a do/en, while It would be so small an item, in a flock large enough to make a living (rum. that its benefit would lie hard- ly felt. The small Mock w ll alao have better care in various ways. The house can lie kepi in the best lanital y condition, and the ioof and sides proof against rsin and wind ; if a fowl is ailing it i* quickly discovered, the cauao found, and th* remedy applied. If the number of egg* uddenly fall* off, the reason tor it issoughl for, and <;hsng made in feed or manage- ment to ngbt the wrong. It is this per oual <.-.-( ,and oversight, acquaintance with each bird of the flock, thai makes the mall flock pay beller than Ihe large one. If it were poeaible to give flocks of one hundred or one thousand the aame care and attention thai is mven In one, there I* no reason why e-|ual return* should not lie reali/.ed. Peculiar i|iialilies are needed by those who go into poultry raising with a view to make ll a life busineis. < >ne, and the iiiuii important, is love for the work, a willingness to work day and night, a thorough system that no detail may be neglected, thai every part ot every day's duties shall be attended to promptly and at the proper time. A little neglect in one part today, another in tome cither to- morrow, will turn cerlain ruccess to as certain failure. The location is not the most important factor, though if one can choose u, it will add materially to the chance* for lucceMa* well a* to the amount of profit. To lie near a good market i* very desirable, but In these days ot juick transportation, one place, especially suit- able, i( IwtUr, even if one hundred miles from market, than on* unsuitable and only Un mile* awa> . Some of the largeit and mo*t lURcrssful market poultrymen send poultry and eggs more than two hundred milee, and the birds klllid one afternoon are in the market early next morninii.

In the management of the Mock, especially the feeding, a sharp eye should be kept ; a hnl. wnte. in each feed trough, will amount to many dollars in the course of a year. A good crop of lice in any house will end the egg crop, and all hope of profit from that house. A hen with iln- roup.not taken care of, will spreail the disease to the others, and the prolll and the fowls vauiili together.

Biker, in Jersey Bulletin, (ays that he does not know of a single maker of gill- itge butter who doe* not wash the lmtt.r. The olijseis of washing are to romove th* buttermilk and to harden the butter. The latter ellout ll produced l.y a small <|iianuty of ool I wal .T added juat after Ihe butter ha* ooine. After this cold Water is added, the cimm should be agitaled or turned % few li Hiss] t IMB the utlervjillk drawn oil. After this, when the butter seems tohav* given up.all of it* milk, add about hall aa much water a* there is buttermilk and give a few turn* of the churn, and the pure wa'er will have changed aln.cst to the color of milk. Repeat the washing until the water con:e* off clear. Oflen whu the water come* off almost clear, the addition of a small quantity of salt so a* >o mike a weak br.ne, will bring out ooniiiierably more buttermilk. Mr. Baker u*e* brine for the third washing, not for the purpose of ailing the butter, but of completing the washing. Butter treated in thu way and properly waahed, to get the water out, will Keep sweet a long time. Temperature is king in the dairy room, and the man or woman who does not make every possible provision for keeping the temperature under control, need not expect lo make or keep a high reputation for gill- edge butter. Different operalion* call for different temperatures. No one temperalure will suilall. Cream ripening and churning, washing and packing the butter, each has a but temperalure in every dairy ; these il i* the first busineu of the butler maker to learn, and ever after to be guided by the thermometer. Field-Dried Fodder. There is a great many initancei of put ing field-dried fodder into the lilo wilh a air degree of lucces* and good result* from the feeder'* standpoint. The most serious objection to the practice, is thai ihe field drying lakes out a certain amount ot feeding value, and later whan ihe fodder goe* into the silo, there U a certain amount of additional loss, bul of (uch a varying percentage- lLal it seems as yet difficult to determine loexa:tue*. Bul theretuchaaav ing of labor, and of furlher loss of food value and a "handmeas'' about it, that siloing filed dried fodder co.-n may be *et down a* good practice. The late Henry Talcolt, of Ohio, made a regular practice of iU> filling one and oflen two tilos in the winter wilh fodder that had been in the shock at leant three months. With a large dairy, he had a good demand for feed for them, as they were m winter milk ; so lie would raise nearly twice as much corn as ihe silos would bold and be- gin feeding at once, and an soon a* one silo waa empiy.he would fill itat once with the fodder liiat had stood in well-kept shocks for weeks, ll wa* oflen rather cold work lo bring the fodder to the eugiue and culler aud there was often ice and snow enough attached to it lo make Ihe welling down ', unnecessary, bulthe silage came oui in good condilion, aud was eaten with avidity l>y the slock, and he :ou!d not see but the cow* gave a* much milk; bul It took a little more silage than il did froi i the green cut fodder. Hints in Feeding. Profitable feeding in the dairy must si- ways bo somewhat in the nature of a con promise The straw Hack, without much of anything else, is the one extreme, aud Ihe olher is the frequent use of highly con centraled food. The profitable medium lie* in giving a diversity of good, bulky food, which is very digestible, wilh, ay, noi exceeding six poiiinli of grain a day. Con- tinued high feeding upon a ration laVgely composed of grain is an expensive prove**, and few dairies can "pay out" where that method is followed, mile** they are receiv- ing considerable more than the average price for Iheir products. Aside from lhat, such feeding is very apl lo enianger the health of the cows, and this frequently re- sults in a loss which require* a large amount of milk and Imtler to compensate. Avoid extremes, but feed well aud steadily. In no department of farm life has there been a greater change for the belter during the past ten years man in the dairy and dairy management. The improvement has been in every branch in the breeding of high claa* dairy atock, in it* dissemination more generally among the farming com miinity, in ihe feeding and care of the cows, am) in the process** of butter mak ing. ^ NOT A PLEASANT PROSPECT . tu I mlnrni fredrksBBB's led n ihr i . ....M. erike Oriental War. M. Francois Coppee, of the French Acad- emy, has an article in l.e Journal of Paris on the lessons of the Oriental war, thai has caused a good deal of comment. In dis cursing future possibilities, he says: "Thanks to Buddhism, which forbid* action, the extreme Orient long remained quiet and inoffensive. But now warlike instinct* are Iwing introduced among ius people, and they are acquiring military science. This enormous fraction of Ihe world, so long sealed, ao rebellious againsl everything good thai the Occident could given, and which, in short, rejected Chrir.ianily, is henceforlh open lo all the adventurer*, lo all the ' merohantis,' who give it leaders and arms for its troops. It is a sad thing to aay, bul, the officer* of fortune and th* agents of Krupp or Amstrong succeed bril llanlly to-day where Saint Francis Xarier and his pious lucoeseors failed almost alto- gether. The Asiatics have remained deaf to the words of love; they welcome the merchants of carnage, th* manufacturers of massacre." Continuing, he sayi " Suppose that fifty years hence perhaps twenty, or men ten thn yellow raoe, innnr ed lo war by it* internal struggles, should lie seized wilh our mania for armaimnt.

Other plague* have surpassed it in deatructiveness for a lime, bul smallpox, in addition to epidemic visitations, ha* permanently local- ized itself in every counlry it ha* reached, remaining ever ready to take advantage of favorable condition* to assume the epi- demic form. No climate i* free from it* ravage*. Negroes and inhabitant* of warm climate* generally *uffer from it with exceptional (evenly, A century ago it wa* reckoned that one-fourth of the human race bore in blindness or olher form* of suffering or disfigurement traces of having been attacked by this fearful enemy of mankind. Ancient Arabian manuscripts have been discovered which gave a frightful picture of the ravage* ot imaiipox in the Abyssinian army during the siege of Mecca in the year 5U9 A. D. Al aboul ihe same period, or KOOII afler, it is known lo have raged all over Europe. The earlieal positive hutori- cal record* of the plague do not date further back than ihe latter part of the izth century, but there i* not much doubt lhat Ihe epidemic which depopulated the world m lh tirst century was smallpox. Semca, describing the pestilence in Thebes, wrole : ' 'Oh, new aud direful face of deal h : A (laming vapor burns ihe body's citadel, mall *pol* be*prinkle the akin, the eye* are litfened, and the dark blood bursting the veins distills from the contracted nostrils.' Smallpox visited Europe a number of lime* in the ninth and tenth centuries. In the eleventh snd twelfth centune* il waa greatly spread by ihe wars oi the Crusades, being the only perceivable recompense brought back by the religious expeditions from the East to their respective countries. From Kurope II wa* conveyed by th* Spaniards lo Men -o and South America, and wa* thence diffused over the New World. Il devastated Mexico in I.VJ7, destroying 3.5UU.COO people and almost depopulating the country. In l.~>o.'< it exterminated whole race* of men in ihe Brazil*. In I.V.M it spread along the coast of Peru swept away all lhs Indians and mulaltiH-s in the cities of Polosi and La Pa/, and ihe adjacent regions. The historian i'rescolt says that the native* "perished in heap*." IT! RAVaUE \M..M. INDIANS.

A* the white man has made his way over the earlh, he ha* carried h-.s diseases and whisky with him, and th* two together have usually served lo deslroy ihe aborigi- nal population wherever the intruder ha* act foot. In 17'>7 smallpox wiped out one-fourth of th* population of Iceland, taking lti,tm live*, l.re.-nland in 1734 was nearly de- populated by the plague, losing two thirds of it* inhabitant*. In Russia the disease killed '.'.OOO.tiUU people in one year. 1 1 waa reckoned thai in Europe half a million persons died of smallpox annually. Every twenty five year* at leasl 15,000,000 human bmgs in Europe suooumlwd to Ihe com- plaint, ll (pared neither high nor low. The father, mother Mid wife of William 111. died of smallpox, an well a* hi* uncle, the Duke of 1 1 loncestT. and hu couima, the eldest son and youngest daughter of .lann-s II. Hi* own oonititiition waa per- main-lit ly shattered by an attack of the scourge. In (hurt, the disean* was a perfect terror to mankind. It continued to be such until the beginning of the last century, without proipect of miligalion. Tlien Lady Mary WortUy Montagu, wife of th* Briiuh Km baasador at Su Petersburg, wrote her historic letter describing the proceu of imx-ula ion with smallpox virus as practiced in Russia. This letter made known for thv lirst tune in England a method of prevention which ha* bein understood in tl.e East for centuries, such inoculation producing a mild form of smallpox which rendered the patient safe from ihe complaint. Lady Mary had her own children treated in this way. In I7'-M, afterpreliminary experiment* on six condemned criminals which resulted favorably, two children of Caroline, Prinoeas of Wales, wr inoculated, ihus making the practice popular, OI'I'OIITMN TH INIH'1'I.ATION. Rvary *orl of opposition was offered to this m w ides. Sermons were preached against it. It was declared wicked to inter ere in such s way with the purposes oM In Almighty. It wa* alleged to savor ol magic and to be an inspiration of the devil. One clergyman, the Kev. Edward Masaey, attempted to prove from Scripture that .Job'", distemper wa* smallpox, and that he wa* inoculated by Satan ; hence it was undesirable to imitate the prince o ( evil. Though these argument* may not hare beeit good ones, th* practice) of inoculation with smallpox viius was found to lie unde- HII aide lor (Bore practical rnaion. The proves* rendered the Indix IdHal immune to tu* disease, but it gave to toa patient true >% t s>1> *> >> smallpox, though in a mild form, and he immediately became a source from which smallpox wa* spread by contagion. Thus the total number of dealha wasaclually in- creased, and very considerably. Su-.-h was ihe forlorn and hopeless slate of the world in respect to this plague at the end of the eighteenth century, when the observation and wisdom of one man threw a brighi light upon the gloomy scene. .IENNKK AND THE COW MAID It had been known from ao early period among ihe great dairy farms of (Gloucester- shire, England, lhal cow* were occasionally affected wilh a peculiar pustular disease, which could be transferred to those who milked them, and that by thi* disease the milker* were rendered immune to small- pox, having had the cowpox. When hardly more lhan a boy the great Jeoner waa much impressed by Ihe remark of a milkmaid, who told him lhat (he was safe from smallpox, having had the cowpox. After thirty yean spent in experimenting, this benefactor ol mankind gave to the world the diic ivery that inoculation wilh lymph from the pustule* of cowpox would produce practically absolute immunity from ihe much-dreaded plague. 80 far a* this idea was concerned, he could not claim originality. The same sort of thing* had been done before. There is record of the inoculation of ihreo children with cowpox by a village schoolmaster near Kiel in 1791. But Jenner wa* first to conceive Ihe nolion of transmitting the vaccine from one human being to another, thai keeping up a perpetual supply of lymph and rendering maiiki d independent of ibe uncertain supply which cause* disease in th* cow afforded. In a word, hi* idea wa* to propagaie the matter of cowpox from one human being to another until the practice should be disseminated ali over the gluiie to the total extinction of smallpox. Sucre** once proved, a norm of protest and opposition aroee, ot course. The pulpit thundered. It waa declared that smallpox wai a merciful provision of the Almighty toeate the burden of the poor man's family. Leviticus wa* quoted agsinsl contamina- ting the form of ihe great Creator with the iirute creation. Khrmann, of Frankfort, tried to prove from the Scripture* that vaccine wa* actually anti-Christ. Portents were observed, such as the birth of an ox- faced boy, and were gravely commented upon. Aud thu was less than a century ago ! Nevertheless, vaccinaiion quickly be- came diffused over the world. It was eag- erly accepted by aboiiginal Americans, fanalic Mohammedans, followers of Brahma and i'lufucius, and more or lessenlighlened Kuropeaos. Spain senl ihip* lo her colo- nies carry irg vaccine, and physician* to give directions for its ue. Within a few year* the number of death* from smallpox was reduced lo only a (mall fraclion of what they had been annually. For example, in Sweden there had been '2,050 deaths per l.idni.iHxi of population. The mortality ran down wilnin ln years to 1.1s per 1,000,000. In Berlin for forty year* before the intro- duction of vaccination, an average of .1,4" persiiin died of smallpox yearly. In ihe twenty fivo following years ihe average wasonly 17'i. Occasional epidemic* which have occurred since then have been due purely and solely to neglect of this simple precaution. PEARLS OE TRUTH Early adversity is often a blessing. Sharp.
