betrayed itself in his bearing, however. He
appointed an interview for tho day after the

The remarks of our correpondent,

that
l'OWL AUK I'AVINU I'HOIT.HTV,
If pioperly attended to, and it is n mat
ter of surprise that farmers do not de
vote moro attention to tills branch of
industry. A farmer's wife told us, not
longngo, thnt iter husband said chick
ens wcro more bother tlinn they were
worth, nnd discouraged In every way
attempts to raiso them; yet, after all,
tho few that did Burvlvo neglect and
brickbats laid cnougli eggs to buy
many grocorlc?. Secondly, breeds of
chickens thnt lay
LAiiriK 1:00s
mustTKo -ecurcd, and non-sitters, for
eggs .tro like Interest on capital every
d07.cn is worth tho price of tho lion
herself, nnd young hens will lay six or
clirht doicii a year. Wo havo had, by
actual count, as many ns ten dozen
eggs from ono hen. A few common
barnyard fowls must be hud to raise
chickens. Culture nnd high-breeding
seem to destcoy maternal Instinct.
Such hens nro apt to desert tho eggs
before hutching, or neglect tho littio
ones If onco they nro out of tho shell.
Tho nl?o of eggs Is a mntter worthy of
thought. Wo got eight dozen not long
since, nt n country store, becnuso they
were a fow cents cheaper than In town,
but they proved to bo much dearer, for
ono dozen of them wo found on un
packing wore about ns largo ns pheas
ant's eggs, nnd ono dozen wore old
and bad; nil wcro Inferior otto egg
from r. lllack Spanish hen would weigh
nearly ns much ns two of them. Wo
mention this only to show tho ndvnu
tago of a mixture of fancy breeds. In
deed, wo prefer n mixture for common
tifao-t. It Is (imiuult to retain u pure
strain of fouls on n farm. In many
largo cities eggs nro sold by weight.
Wo read of their being marketed by
weight In Parts and other cities of J.u
rope, Mills giving customers tho worth
of t r money. To got good returns,

nt Ieat twice a day, and havo good
shelter. Don't ht them depend upon
what they can get by foraging around.
Kxperienco lias demonstrated that they
imp by proper treatment, bo made to
Iry well In winter, when eggs com
in , ' orty con .. doron, nnd some
' ee. KI!! :!-o hens after
they nro two j ears old. They aro not
prolllle layers after that, nnd are still
young cnougli to be good eating. I
Watch tho licn-houscs, nud keep
them
riinr. ruoM i.u r,
which will soon Infest, oven with enre.
Whitewash the walls nnd put kerosene
on tho perches oceniionally. Keep
ashes on the door; tliey love to wallow
lu them, while the ashes nro u great
ali-orbcut of tho droppings, that In
turn make tho very best of fertilizers.
If tho chickens begin to look ragged
and show 11 dlspo-ltion to desert the
roo-t, you may bo sure they aro lousy, '
which soon kills them or Interferes
