POULTRY FARMING. (From "Poultry and Eggs for Market and Export" by J. A. Henders>n.) MANAGEMENT WHEN AT LIBERTY OK A FARM. The number should nob exceed one hundred if housed together. Probably fifty will be found more profitable, but i 1 housed quite apart, so that they cannot mix, many different Jots of fifty may be kept on the same farm. Hens nob for breeding will do as well without cocks being run with them, and ihe eggs keep longer fresh when infertile. Cockerels should be shut up by themselves when they begin to get troublesome. Kill off the crossbred hens just before their second moult, when they are about t»o and a half years old. An extra season m.-iy be allowed to known good layers. W hers a large number is kept, m ordnr to know the age, small numbered metal clips should be fixed on the pullets' legs. If there be good water, gravel, and places tor dusting within their reach, nf extra atttntion is required, but the costing house must be very clean, and linn most be suppled if many eggs be sold. Feed twice a day. Soft food In tho morning, grain at night. Table scraps t-hould not be wasted. If there is much tctub or other cover about, have a small yard m from of the roosting-bouse, aid shut them m it till midday, when most will be laid. Leave the slide of th* door open and let them come out of the house into this yard at daybreak To secure eggs m winter chickens ithnuld be reared e'trly, so as to lay m autumn. Winter-laying breeds and croßses should be kept, Good Bheker, hot morning f >od, extra meat supply, help greatly. Crushed green bones and mWe are very good Ch«ap machines are now to be had for crushing bones, and malt i i easily made by soaking one-third of a kerosene tin fuil of barley for twenty four hours, draining thoroughly, turning over twice a day for a week, and thin baking dry m an oven. A little pepper mny be mixed with the food two or three times a week. A sprinkling of salt gives ft relish ; too much is a poison. In extra severe weather, for fifty fowls dissolve a piece of Kulphato of iron, the size of a email hazel nut m the water used to mix the sofr, food. It is very cheap stuff; but remember it is a poison m large dnnea. Tj put a hen oil sitting ehufc her up with a cockerel, which will keep her moving, or put her outside, fronting the other hens, m a coop, barred front and bottom. PROFITS OP POULTRY KEEPING. It woald be easy to give an estimate of the probable profits per annum on a given number of fowls if one knew the breed or cross kept, the exict strain the birds were bred from, the housing, shelter and management, the locality (varying the price of grain, etc.), whether the food was bought wholesale or retail, and whether the eggs were sold retail or to a store as new laid eggs or sent to auction as box eggs. It is plain that m face of widely varying conditions tables showing receipts and expenditure might be very misleading to many. In the attempt here made to show results that aotual experience has proved can be realised, it is to be understood that birds of the best-laying strains only must be used to cross wibh ; that the housing, shelter, and management must be good ; and that the eggs musb be sold to the storekeeper as now laid eggs, not senb to auction. These things being made dear, let v* suppose a farmar to keep fifty laying fowls at liberty — say, Minorca - JLangshans. When m full swing, his year's accounts might be something like the following, taking Wellington prices as a standard. £ 8 d Yiold of epgs for the year— say 580 drzjn at Is. (an average of about 140 par head) ... 29 0 0 25 hens, sold m autumn, ar Is 6d. each 1 17 6 25 cockerels, sold at four months old, m November or December, at 2s each ... 210 0 , 33 7 0 Lss cost of food — £ 8 d Pullard 20001 b ... 4 10 0 Oatmeal 1001 b ... 0 10 0 Oa^s. 30 tushels at 2s 31 3 7 6 Wheat, 5 bushels at U 10 0 Meat, (liv<m>, hears, etc.) 10 0 10 7 6 Net profit £23 0 0 In this case the birds will pick up a portion of the food they require, so that the quantity above given will be sufficient to rear fifty chickens every year— say, twenty-five pullets to take the place of old hens sold, and twenty-five cockerels, 16 well as feeding tho laying stock, even

if there be nob a great snpply of table scraps. The profit ia 9s per head of the laying stock, and it will be observed that the bulk of it la from egg- prod action. Nothing hes been allowed m the calcu lation for labour, rent, or interest on capital, the object being merely to show profit m excess of cost of food. The price allowed for eggs — viz., Is per dozen— is not too high, the Minorca- Langshan cross being a good winter layer, and one-half of ;the laying stock at the beginning of winter being pullets just commencing to lay ; so that there would be plenty of eggs m the dear months. A return of 10s per head net per annum from eggs alone, from fowls kept m con finement, is not an uncommon result. It has been done to my knowledge, on asphalt, where the space was lesa than a square yard to every two fowls, bab i& this cine the birds got a great deal of Hi t«nt ion. I am able to eive an estimate of the margin of profit over the cost of food m rearing ducklings for the local market horn a fcnal made last spring. They were *old at the agp of ten weeks, and weighed * little over 41b each. The price obtained (wholesale) wvfi 2s 6d per head, the cost of food (bought retail) 9d per head ; the profit on each waa therefore Is 9J — a handnome one, I think. These ducklings were not a cross of two pure breeds, but ha'ched from common shop-eggs. Tins vamo birds would fcave fetched almost double the price m the Loudon market m Aptil. (To be continued.)

THE SMALLEST REPUBLIC IN THE WORLD.

The smallest Republic m the world— m%ller even than Andorra, the little Republic m the Pyrenees—is Tavolara, an bland about 7£ miles from Sardinia. The Ul*nd is only 1| mile across, and has only f?5 inhabitants. Charles Albert made the hp«d of the BartcJeoni family, Paul, absolute ruler and owner of Tavolara m 1836 ; and for 46 years King Paul I. ruled his little kingdom In peace and quietnesß, Shortly before his death he expressed a wish that when he was gone none of his family should succeed him, bob that the islanders should govern themselves democratically, as they were quite capable of doing. After his death, (they accordingly made the experiment for four years, and, finding ib successful, they solemnly declared a Republic In 1886 The President is elected for six yeara ; no public official receives any salary ; and women have the same rights of voting as men. In 1887 the Italian Government formally recognised the independence of Tavolara, which greatly pleased the tiny Republic.
