FEEDING PoUITRY.-Professor Gre
CORY, of Aberdeen, in letter to a
friend, observes: "As / suppose you
keep poultry, / may tell you that it
has been ascertained that if you
mix with their food a sufficient guam
tity of egg-shells or chalk, which they
eat greedily, they will lay twice OF
thrice as many eggs as before. A
well-fed fowl is disposed to lay a larger
number Of eggs, but cannot do SO
without the materials of the shells,
however nourishing in other respects
her food may be; indeed, fowl fed
on food and water, free from carbon
ate of lime, and not finding any in
the soil, or in the shape of mortar,
which they often eat on the walls,
would lay no eggs at all with the best
will In the world"

Draining by Wells.

You wish to know if land can be

experiment only, and that was entirely
successful. / own a piece Of land on
which there was basin of about three
fourths of an acre which received the
surplus water of at least ten acres. 1t
would sometimes be from two to three
feet deep in the centre. The water
stood in the basin at least eight months
in the year, and the basin was full eve

In short time. I think the water
rose at least two feet in ten minutes,
and then stopped and remained at
that depth until a heavy rain of three
days. l thenwent to look at the well
expecting to find it full and running
over; but to my utter establishment
there was not more than two and a
half feet in the wei. 1t had risen about
four feet during the storm, | should
Judge, by the marks On the side of the

quantity of water run into the well, as
at least ten acres discharged their sur

then dug four open drains, leading tc
the well, and the land has been suffi-
GENTLY dry for wheat, corn, or grass
ever since. 1t has been in grass for the
last II years, and has borne heavy
