A.B., Flushing L. I.—Horticola’s remarks, 
in a late Rural, ou the benefit of a small 
quantity of salt for poultry, induce me to 
tell how I give it, and I think my method is the 
safest and moat effective way of doing so. A 
pure salt brine, strong enough to bear up an 
egg, is kept constantly on hand, and when 
meal is to be wet up for the poultry puddings, 
a gill of this brine is put in each gallon of 
water, and the meal then stirred in; thus 
every particle of the pudding is evenly salted. 
For full-grown poultry the pudding is made 
half and half of Indian meal and wheat bran. 
This is placed before them in the morning, 
and they are allowed to eat all they please 
till the afternoon; thop they have all the oats 
they will eat in the a*mi tug. Thiskeeps them 
in good condition and fine laying order. 
During the milder season, and In very cold 
weather, cracked corn, as being more hearty, 
heating and fattening, is added, half and half, 
to the oats for their feed in the evening, just 
before going to roost. 
R. N. Y.—We doubt if poultry need any 
salt, or are benefited by it. 
DUROC JERSEY SWINE. 
“ A,” Tom s River, N. .T,— In a late Rural, 
the receipt of Vol. I, of the History and 
Record of the pedigrees of this breed of 
swine is acknowledged. This Record asserts 
that “it Is said the Du rocs are the old-fashioned 
Berksbires, with the old time qualities which 
made that breed so famous.” Now I would 
like to know who says this, and what is the 
authority for the assertion ? Who really 
knows that the first importations of this sort 
of swine were Berksbires, and who can tell 
us exactly how they have been bred in the 
United States ? Have not the produce of the 
first importations been continually crossed 
since their arrival here with other breeds, 
thus making the progeny of the present day 
mere grades t Has the compiler of the Duroo 
Record, or any one of the breeders of this sort 
of swine, ever seen an old fashioned Berkshire 
in England. If not, how can they tell that 
their Durocs are of the same breed, or eveu 
quite like them ?

THE FLYING DUTCHMAN 
The original throe-wheel plow, which in light¬ 
ness of draft, thoroughness of work, and sim¬ 
plicity of construction is the conceded cham¬ 
pion of the whole plowed World. Note these 
strong points; Plow in front of driver; no 
pressure on horse's necks; no side draft; 
weight of driver over the furrow wheel, adding 
little or nothiug to draft, but keeping the plow 
down to its work. These aud many other 
points, fully explained, illustrated and proved 
in our descriptive circulars, sent free to any 
address. We also mail free of charge, the Ag¬ 
ricultural Pilgrim’s Progress, by John-with-a- 
Bunion, with six tinted illustrations; the 
Story of the Flying Dutchman, a graphic sea 
sketch; and other literature which will amuse 
entertain and Instruct. Address,
