While many enterprising farmers seem to fully appreciate the important value of breeding pure-bred cattle, swine and sheep, they appear to ig- nore the.fact that pure-bred poultry is as much an improvement upon the I (wh'uU ia tn .nftenJexample for imitation. Bear in mind I founoT to comprise the farmer's poul- try stock) as aayoD he choice breels ofsheeoorcatrteare over the com- mou or inferior stock. Mowbray ob serves that in France "poultry forms ; 1. ! ii. -i. I. fl an important part iu me uve stucs. ui 1 the farmer, and the poultry yard sup- ply more animal food for the great mass of the community than the butch er's shops." Too little attention in America by farmers is given to their poultry. Yet for the amount invest- ed, no live stock will return a better &c., unsheltered from the rain aud the ner cent, in nrofit than noultrv if it islheat of tho suu. More raoner is lost in properly cared for. Proper attention need not be -construed into a great . , , , amount of vexatious labor: the same 0 VM care and pride in seeing them thrive as is usually devoted to your Jerseys, Southdowus, and other pure-bred stock, is all that is necessary. System, 1 1 P 1. , order, regularity in feeding, and clean- 1 . Imess, are the open cesame to profit in breeding any kind of stock. If far- mere will only take into consideration the immense numbers of flies, insects, grubs, beetles, worms, larva?, &c., that the fowls destroy, they will read- ., ... , - 11 ily discover Althegoeil they are." An experience of twenty years breeding pure-bred fowls, has showu me from actual experiment that comnion 6r mon-frr! atnftlr. thm amo o m pure-breeds, and the same number f cocks and hens kept iu yards of equal IfA Ifl tinf VIA?! nn n r aammm. . t A . ' . I f . oc4u"' ..umueruieggsuiepure-Dretis did; whilst tho chicks of the latter were much superior in size to the com- moa ones pf the&ame age. This fact waa tested by setting e of the ora- monand 6u re-breeds Wr h mon and pure-breeds oinder one hen, when the chicks of the latter grew away from the former the difference being noted in a week's time. This season, from 7 Brown Leghorn hens confined in a yartl 4 by 8 feet, with an unlimited range two days each week, from February 28 to July 1, the 7 hens laid 668 eggs, being an average ofover five daily. And I may add they are yet doing, about the same, (July 23.) I hardly thint twice the number of common hens could be fore ed to do this, with an unlimited range all the time. Had these Leghorns had a range at will every day, I think the average would have been at least 6 J per day. I could give numerous illustrations that would show the balance-sheet greatly- in-favor of the pure-breeds. A couple of years ago I sold to a gentleman some Brahma and Hou- - dan eggs; last year he crossed the Brahmas and Houdans, which pro duced a rapid-errowing chick, the pullets laying at mix months. I am informed by him that he has a reg ular customer for all the eggs his hens lay, who pays three cents more than whatever the' market price hap pens to be. because the eggs are so "large and excellent." This year I crossed a white Leg horn cockv on a Dominique her. the result being chicks with fine roso combs, brilliant yellow legs, and spot- Ip white ulumneer They mature less white piumnge. j ve 7 rapidv, and the pullets com- meuced laying when five months old, one. now desiring to incubate.

NO HOUSE-SHOES. The slipping of horse, on the' asphalt paYeuieut iu Loudon, baa given rise to some discussion as to the proper form for shoes, wltipan a writer in the Times comes forward with the recoinineudation that no horse shoes at all be used ! He says he has coustantlj dispensed with them since 1852, adding : 1 "1 have owned over two hundred ani mals at one time, dedicated to all manner of purposes, drauzhr. saddle aud nack aud not one of them shod. Sm nJ mi " i ..i . , will say that they worked over grass or sand. They did not, bnt over the rough- I est roads imaginable, in places excessive- J ,u to . V" and heavy." He gives his experience (n BraziIf where pack hor8eg, without being gl)wl travei joonieyg of over eight liun- d red Wiles.

IU its MEDICAL USE OF SALT. In an old medical work (pasted iu the back) I fiud tlic followiug : Medical use of Suit. In mauy cases of disordered stomach a teaspoon ful of Bait is a certain cure. Iu the violent internal aching, termed colic, add a teaspoonful of salt to a pint of cold water, drink it and go to bed ; it is one of the speediest remedies knowu. The same will revive a person who seems almost dead from re ceiving a very heavy fall, &c. In an apoplectic tit no time should be lost in pouring down salt water, if suffi cient life remains to allow of swallowing; if not, the head must be swougod with cold water until tho sense returns, when salt will completely restore the patient from his lethargy. In a fit the feet should bo placed in warm water with mustard added, aud the legs briskly rubbed, all bandages remov- from tho neck a,,d a co1 apartmeut proenred if possible. In many cases of bleedillg Rt the lanjpif . whe-B Jr reme- dies fail, Dr. Rush found two teaspoonfuls of salt completely stayed the blood, In cases of bite from a mad-dog, wash the part with strong brine for an hour, theu bind on some salt with a rag. In toothache warm salt and water held to (he part, and reuewed two or three times, will relieve in most cases. If the gums be affected, wash he mouth with brine. If the teeth be covered with tartar, wash twice a day with salt and water. In swelled meek waah tl.n nrf. brine, and drink it twice a dav. also, uu- til cured. &ait win expel worms, if used in food in a moderate degree, and aids diges tion, but salt meat is injurious, if used much."
