FEEDING AND FATTING CHICKEN. 
« 1st. What should I feed young chicken upon—say two 
months old? 2nd. When is the proper time to put them 
up to fatten? I have been much annoyed seeing them 
droop and die oft', and those that live have grown but little 
since they were hatched.—T. Iv.” 
[When two months old, chicken are able to thrive well 
upon barley and any other grain. If they are all designed 
for table use at an early age, they should be well kept at 
every period of their lives; and some soft food, as barley 
meal or fine middlings, given once a day. Chicken not 
growing must be subject to some unfavourable influence; 
either the breed or the treatment is defective. Chicken in 
good condition may be put up to fatten at four months in 
summer to six in winter*] 
Beans and Scarlet Runners are a perfect glut; perhaps there 
never was a season when there was a greater crop of these 
legumes than we have now. Apples are coming in plenti¬ 
fully ; the dessert kinds are chiefly the Margaret, Duchess of 
Oldenburyh, Red Astrachan, and Devonshire Qunrrenden. 
Pears also, particularly the early Orchard varieties, such as 
Lammas, Cranford, Catherine, Green Chisel, and London 
Sugar, are the most general; and there is a good supply 
of Jargonelles, some of which are very fine. Plums have 
made their appearance, and consist of Orleans and Green 
Gage from walls, and large quantities of Rivers' Early 
Prolific , an excellent Plum from standards. This is the 
only Plum from standards in the market, and is in good 
demand. West India Pines continue plentiful, as well as 
those home-grown. Grapes are abundant, and so are Melons. 
Flowers consist of Asters, Verbenas, Geraniums, Dahlias, 
Marigolds, Mignonette, Cockscombs, Lobelias, and Roses.
