How TO OBTAIN EGGS. There is much in
breed, in egg laying qualities. But the most
is in good :rcatmcnt-making the hen at
home. a crowded place will not do. Too
many hens together is bad. Why? Because
it interfcres with tranquility. The points
of success are: Warm quarters; roomy; clean;
unmolested; plenty of food; variety OF
feed, varied daily with animal food of some
kind, it matters little what; water changed
often; crushed bones, either burnt or other
wise; pulvcrized earth or spent ashes to wal
low in; light; and as much cheerfulness as
possible. Then select good breeds. The
middIc'sizcd Dominique, single combs, yc.-
low legs, are perhaps the best. The Span
ish are good layers; SO are the Creels. Avoid
all big breeds, and especially the East India
fowls.
