How ro Man.uik Poultry.?Groaml bone or bone uical is an ingredient whoso vahiu as a mixture in poultry feed has no equal for its cost. The different modes in which this article is put up nowadays, for ordinary sales, each have their points for commendation. And when the article is unadulterated, it is intrinsically more valuable for chickens or fowls than any sub.stance offered in our markets for its uses. Ground bone is sold at a price that renders it a very chenpcoinmodity. and fowlsare very fond of it. Ihuic-mcal is finer ground, and may be mixed with corn or wheat-meal, steamed or scalded, to great advantage for young chickens. For laying liens it is an admirable stimulant, and those who have not used it will very quickly discover the diffeieneo in the production of eggs by giving it a trial. It is surprising with what avidity fowls will devour this substance. At this season of the year the poultryhouse should be thoroughly cleaned.? Whitewash the walls, rub the roosts with kerosene, and if your flock has suffered with lice, smoke it thoroughly with a pin of charcoal, upon which you can throw mm or two pounds of flour of sulphur, and fumigate the whole place for two <>r three hours, shutting it up closely. Of course, you will take care not '<> let the poultry into tins house until all the sulphurous funics are dissipated After sueli a renovating process the h >u.-o will not he likely to harbor any vermin. And it you will provide a plenty of good food, a box of charcoal, another of bone dust, and a box of ashes, you will have no reason to complain of the produce of your hennery, but will doubtless have plenty of eggs for your own use; and if you keep a good sized Hock, will also hare plenty to soil.?Ainrricin J'ouftn/ i an/. I'lCKl.INO SkF.Ii(.1 KAIN.?The unusual presence of smut the present season, makes it desirable that more than usual care should be- taken to free grain from it before it is sown The smut is produced?as was shown last month, on page IJtiL?from a minute spore, which ser.es the purpose that seeds no in ordinary plants, and it is desirable to destroy the spores wherever they may occur. The grain can be cleansed and the smut spores destroyed by steeping it in a pickle | of strong salt brine, or a solution of I ouu \ ces of Sulphate of Cupper to a gallon of water. The seed may be put into a tub with the solution and steeped two hours ; or it may be put into a basket and the solution poured over it. This is an easy method and may bo done as follows: l'roeure a bench or a block upon which the basket may stand, arrange a sloping board, upon which the basket of seed is placed, so that the liquid will drip from the board into a pad after it has washed the seed. The pickle poured upon the seed in the basket ilows through it and w.?shes much of tli i smut from it carrying it down the board and j into the pail. The pail is covered with a j piece of folded flannel or blanket, and the pickle tillering through this leaves much ol ; the smut on the filtering cloth. When the dripping ceases, tin?

For many years we bought of other nations more than we sold to them, and gold has flowed across the Atlantic to balance our accounts. At length a point was reached when our purchases were just about ?qual to our exports, and a little later we are selling more than we bought, and now we arc able to review j the transactions of a considerable time with : i much satisfaction, bociuise our exports have hewn increasingly in excess of our imports, j To-day there is afloat upon the Atlantic < ?1,500,000 or more of gold, which is com- | 1 ing to the United State.

It j ? is an interesting study to watch the move- j i incuts of gold as it floats about in the world, j 1 and estimate the causes by which the move- j incut from country to country is produced. !

You cannot possibly recover, though you may live till winter.' A most searching review of all the occurrences of the previous few weeks revived a recollection of a drive iu a handsome cab to the mail train, and of some offensive foam having been driven in by the wind from the horse's lips to the face of the passenger, How could this coutagion have possibly been avoided ? and what terrible, tar-reaching misery, and how many broken ties, ensued from an occurrence which, but for combined greediness and neglect, never could have taken place !

The difference in the price of freight alone on the cotton seed settles the qucstiou in favor of St. Louis. The Anchor Line is willing co make a contract with them for the delivery of cotton seed in St. Louis at the same rate as that charged to Cairo.? The demand for cotton seed oil and cottonseed cake is greater than the supply, and at the present time there are orders in our city for both seed and oil cake which cannot bo executed for want of stock. The parties above uioutioned arc no.v soekirg the proper place for the erection of their mills. The oil from cotton seed, as is well known, is a staple article, as much so as lard oil or any other kind of oil, and is largely used for lubricating purposes. The oil cake is ordered from Europe for feeding stock, one man having sent nil order for 200 tons for that purpose. The discovery has also been made that the refuse ] which was supposed to be worthless trash, Ban be worked up into a packiuir yarn, in Bonsequencc of the adhering fibres, and is in demand for packing the boxes of railroad locomotives.??S7.
