dent elect. On the 4th of March he will be in

miserable policy will prevail that ofpermtting the
Government TO fall millions of dollars in debt annu-

DO You Want Eggs in, Winter (!

Then give the manufacturers materials to
make them with, and comfortable place to

will, we speak what we know, when we as
sert that it is perfectly feasible to keep the
hens laying all winter. Give them animal
food to supply the place of insects they
catch in summer, and then let them have
warm place to run into, with plenty of I'M
frozcnwater, not snow, and frequent taste
of green food such as cabbage leaves, pota-
toes, etc, and remember to supply some
gravel for their grinding mill, and lime to
make shells out of. and we will warrant the
animals to repay all the care and food, in nice
plump cggs-no matter what the particular
breed may be. Try it.
a hen without some kind Of meat and
gravel, and lime, compelled to eat snow for
water or go without, can not make eggs If
she has to keep constantly changing from
standing on one foot to the other to keep
both from freezing, she can't stop to think
about getting up eggs. If al! she eats and
can digest, must be expended in keeping up
the heat of her body, she has rothing left
to turn into eggs. If her body is all shrunk
up with cold, she hasn't room inside for an
egg ofrespectible size, and though her in
