RURAL LIFE.
(copyr(qhtl) RURAL LIFE. BY A SON OF THE SOIL. Ot HAMBURGES. Hamburghs embrace some of the most beautify of cu" domestic i'owl3, but why they bear the name it is dimult to da.&nf\ for they have no connection with the German cKy on the Eibe. Th3 spangled and biack" M3 unddubtcdiy English, but the pencilled v.-ricty came to us from the Netherlands. However, tha ns'M ha3 been given and will remain. There an tive varmtias. a.U of which are characterised by gr3:M boa-uty of p1un3ge, and by a spnghtlinesa of c.-nTi?'* wh'ch is most pleasing, a?d tha breed is m?'d'f'.r its rr?iaoa.cy. All the Hamburghs are very close and compact in body, have a neat head surmounted by a shapely rose comb, a large sweep- ing tail, a.nd clean legs. They aje best: suited to places where they can have a. considerable amount of liberty, M they do not thrive well in ciotifin Ameat SILVER SPANGLED HAMBURGH, and, m fact, it is very di moult to restrain them within bounds, for a Hamburgh thinks nothing of a ten-foot fenco. Their eggs are rather small for market pUl'p03S, but this is no seriou3 drawback wli.,ii a,U the (\g3 arc consumed in the household. Fe'v v.r'eties can eqtiti t.ht) Hamburgh in a com- binafinn of beauty and economic qualities. The 8png:f:d varieti3 waro origim.tcd a,nd have been imat largely bred in the counties of Lancashire and Yorkshire. They Are larger than the pencils, but in and style present the aptitic appearance. The difforcncn between the t'.vo markings is that instead of the feathers baing barre 1 or marked with a Eu:nber of fine trMisverse stripes of black each one is nipped, or apangied, or moouod with black. As the \?i)iLe of the feather is sufficiently shewn, the moon izi, shewn up in relief, and the re&ult is that the body appea s to have a white ground covered with a large numb"r of round or oval black spots, the effect of which, when the marking is regular, is very pleasing indeed. -P EVERLASTING Fl-OWERS.

FBUIT PROTECTION.
AN EVERLASTING FLOWBB. 1 plants should occupy. Then there is Holipterum Sandfordi, a lialf-hardy annual; its flowers are golden yellow. Fireball, dark crimson in colour; Silvorball, as its name implies, of a silvery hue; Acroclinium, M Australian variety, rose-tinted in colour; and Rho;!anthe, of c1iff8rcnt hues from white to bright rose, are all very popular varieties. Most are good as pot plants, as well as being most suitable for mixed borders. FBUIT PROTECTION. In looking over old notes, I find that this subject was dealt with some years ago. The shelter then illustrated was of a much heavier hind, and it also W-:ïS more expensive, than the one of which I now give a sketch. Over and over again it ha< been proved that the best results are attained by growers who give produce the best chance, accepting no risi:, and thinking no trouble too great. In the case of wall fruit protection is almost necessary, for {here is just as much chance of bloom or fruit being ruined by weather as there is of either being damaged by birds. The glazing of the shelter i:i.ustrated is so fixed that it can be made to slide off ) t t A FRUIT PROTECTOR. or on, according to requirements, so that, during the ripening or frmt-fcrnung- period, the tree can get the i'u.11 benect of the sun's rays during the day, and can be prodded from possible frost at nights. Another cor.si.'oration is that H range or two of such a contrivance on the si'Jes or the front of a country horse improve thf; :!p; esmnce by relieving watia which too oftJ; I regret to say, require such relief. It is not expensive, does not require much fix- ing, consequently it i" well -within the reach of anyone wi!Iing 'to make their gardens or houses ;v '.ncie attractive by weU-ccnsidered outlay. POULTRY I-'AEM!NG. So many ir.quiries received during the year have 3/efe'-ence to this Fuhject U'Rt I app-'nd a note appearing in a recent, issue of that excellent periodical, hearing out v/hat I am almost tired of repeating. Some people want so much con- vincing: "Pou'try farming, as a general rule, is an Industry 'which yielda a good return to those who understand it. ?3 have known, and do know, men who do not possess mere I han three or fotir aerea of land, yet make a living f:om poultyy.

Those men whom we ha,v6 mentioned have been practically Mared to the work, up to it front their childhood. The land 'Huat be utilised for other than poultry. A breeding' en for eight hens fnd a cock should extend over at !eH.6t one hundred square yards of grass land, but ''he more you can aLow them so much the better. A roo<;tjng-house for fifty fowls should measure >rout 12ft. long by 6t't. wide, and 7ft. or 8ft. to the :¡¡'C?;. Eggs fjmm last Apr'.l-hatched puilets may he relied on to produce hea'thy chickens, if the .'ullcts be mated with a vigorous male bird of the -4ame age, though it is preferable to hava older i'cIYiJ\ks.

According tc t!;o ofRcial account of the experiments curried out on behalf cf the Norfolk Chamber of Agriculture at M'. Garrett Taylor's farm last year, three pf the four lots of red-polled bultccks faiicd to produce a credit surplus, even after due allowance was made I for the manure. ITnii,,g regard to the class of cattle, and the unusua!!y liberal prices ruling for pritr.o fat's'ock last year. this result is more (mphs.t.lc than !?p.tisfa.ctory. Whatever tiia systems of and adopted in the case of ti'.e'e three lots, it is cbfious that t.tey are unworthy of the' ccn6de:;CH of fsrmcrs, most of whom derived bettfr pecuniary results from their own peculiar I_rl" I!ofls in t!,c snmc I'ca'cn. The oiie!ft which, v;ith the vnlu" of thf manure placed to their credit, did leave a smnU proi'tt were fed with decorticated cojt-on en!? and dried g'rsirs es their allowance of concentrated S't¡ff1, in addi'.ion to the common. rations of roots and rh-y fo.'dtr.

The standards should also have an annual overhauling, and thfn the pruning is not a v<y laL'oiiot:s aiYair. The heads of young trees should he Ifept thin by the removal of all yoting shoots which arc likely if cress each other, or, if (here is a likelihood of the heads bec"tning crowded, cut out the worst placed shoots. fhotten back, or ss far as fa t1Lditt), 1111 young branches that are of undue length, &r any which ju'e prediscosed to take the lead..

If the heads have become I very much crowded, then a general thinning will be I required The pinning nnished, take steps to clean the trees. If tbeie are ways and means for doing so the trees should be sprayed with caustic soda solution. The spraying can be done by means of pieces of tubes of convenient length screwed together, with a sprayer ilxcd at the outlet and the other end screwed on to a length of tubing attached to a garden engine. A great number of trees can be sprayed in this way at a small cost, and if the above solution is employed, and every part of the trees thoroughly wetted with it, there is no other insect'cide eo effectual in its action. As the season is advancing no time should be lost in applying it, as it is not a safe remedy to use aft<'r the buds are once on the move. Failing this, freshly slaked lime should be dusted over every part of the trees when they are in a wet condition either from rain or fog, ana choose & tim9 when the wind is quiet for applying it. The lime may also be mixed with water and applied with a garden engine, but it is not then nearly eo effectual. If time will admit, moss and lichen laden trees may have their &tcms and main branches scraped beforehand, but this will be unnecessary if the caustic solution is uoed.
