How TO MAKE HENS LAY EGGs.-An old
and esteemed friend is the fortunate possessor
of large ranch, several hundred domestic
fowls, and tribe Of abOrigines who assist n
running the ranch, looking after stock etc
For long time during the present season. his
hens refused to lay eggs, although they were
loud in procaining their ability to do so. Not
an egg could be found in the nest, for those
who were disposed TO duty. to measure by
Our friend took huge black whip, aud hang
ing ii up on the Indian council-house, informed
the inmates that it was necessary for the hens
to lay eggs. Next day several dozen of eggs
was the grand result In the course of two or
three weeks the hens again refused to perform
their duty, and our friend tried another expert
ment; Several eggs were broken at the little
end, and drop or two of Croton oil deposited
in each, after which they were placed where
the hens ought to lay. The effect was equally
salutary aud astonishing, Hen fruit in great
abundance again flowed into the ranch.
IempuS fug3t. and again a visible diminu-
ton of this choice production of the farm yard
became apparent. An old fashioned horse
pistol was charged to the muzzle with powder
and rags, and attached to the door of the
chicken house by string, so that it would be
discharged when the door was opened 1t
was Sabbath afternoon, and our persistent
explorer into the science of compelling hens to
lay, was in the enjoyment of an afternoons nap,
so sweet to the followers of the peaceful calling
OF the husbandmau. He was suddenly aroused
by a tremendous report. accompanied by q
hurried slamming to of doors He was at the
window, with his eyes rubbed open Just in
time 10 see the fattest and LATEST Indian on the
ranch making 2:l9s. time for neighborins

of hen fruit has since been iuexhaustible. ard
numerous feathered matrons are fulfilling their
" manifest destiny by rearing large families
of interesting chickens.

little attention from parents and others

to this matter on the part of our citizens would
be highly beneficial. We ought to have a
