does not intend TO make the rearing Of poul.
try an important part OF his farm business,
TO make any expensive structures for their
use.
2 Hens should not lay near those that are
setting, or with them, as trouble will most
assuredly ensue. II two hens wish to sci
together, shut one of them up for few
days, and there will be no difficulty.
3. Boxes for hens To lay, or SCI in, are
best when placed around the lower par, or
iloor Of the building, rather than tiers above
each other, as they will be less likely to in
ter!ere with each other. The front part OF
the boxes should be partially closed, as
fowls on their nests dislike notice.
a. Hens might escape small vcrmin by

THE BEE MOTH.

Mr.. T. Hudson, of Hudson, Ohio, states
10 the Ravenua Cabinet, that in his opinion,
the ravugcs of the great enemy Of bees, the
bee moth, may be prevented BY the simple
process Of thoroughly saiuratlng the hives
with salt, as the miller viii not deposite its
eggs in the hive thus prepared. His plan
is to plane and prepare the boards for the
hive and then 10, them remain for few
days Immersed in strong brine. His own
personal observation and experience as en-

PICkLED EGGS

(From Hampshire correspondent. -
An industrious farmers wife, residing In
Shlplen, near Andover, among a variety OF
other pickles which she annually introduces
INTO her storeroom, preserves picked eggs.
The process she uses in curing them is very
simple. When she has large stock OF
eggs on hand, she boils some SIX or seven
dozen till they become hard. She then dt.
vests them of the shell, sud puts them into
large Jars, pouring upon them scalding VIM
egar saturated with giuger, garlic, whole
pepper, and allspice. This pickle is an ad.
mIrable aid TO cold meat, and is, in the win.
ter months, regarded as perfect farmhouse

Cows.-fdrmers are too Negligent as to
the KIND Of cows they keep. There are
many cows which do not pay 10 the owner
the expense Of keeping ihen, aud occasion
an annual loss. Ii costs no more TO keep a
COW that will average nine or ten quarts
day than one that will average only six or
seven; and the difference in amount would
in the course Of the year be a handsome
profit. II We estimate the cost of keeping
a COW at twenty five dollars, We shall find
that II CO" gives SIX quarts per day, the
loss IN keeping will be 81 IS. If the yield
is eight quarts per day, then the prof, will
be about IS. lf tina milk is ten quarts per
day, the profit will be Sll IS. Now 10
the time TO ascertain whether your cows
are worth keeping or not and the farmer
should look well TO this par, Of his husband.
