Fowls Laying in Winter.

mr. IDlIOhs
Dear Sir II see by
your paper that you wish to hear
from the Poultry men in regard to
how to make hens lay in the win
ter.
think there ere three things nee
essary to attain that object, viz: 1st.
A proper house 2nd The proper
food ; Sd. The proper breed
The house should b. large enough
to give plenty of room for the fowl;
it should face the South, with good
fence about six feet high on the north
and West sides of the yard, as it
forms good protection from the
cold winds. The front should be
entirely of glass; win 'ow sashes
with sixby eight lights are the best,
so if they get brokenit will not cost
so much to mend i. There shoul |
be a good floor 70 it, which must be
kept clean. The nests can be placed
on the back side about a foot from
the floor so that the sun can shine on
them, as it makes it warm and pleas
ant to the hens. My hen. houses,
which arc mado on this plan, are al
most as warm as my kitchen. One
thing is very certain, and that is that
hens cannot be made lay in the win
ter, no matter how we'll. fed, unless
they have a good, dry, warm, light
apartment, especially in stormy
weather.
Now in regard to their food. l
think that the more variety you give
them the better. | have q regular
bill of fare for each day. First day
corn with meat and cabbage; next,
oats with meat; next, meal and boil
ed mashed potatoes next wheat,
with cabbage or other vegetables !;
next, barley with meat; next, scald-
ed meal with cayenne pepper. /
think, that grain is better boiled than
in the raw state, and if beef bone
is put in the water it improves the
flavor much. In feeding meal and
mashed potatoes put in a little ca
yenne pepper Feed warm but not
toe hot Tho lungs, liver, and tripe
of an OK is what | use for fresh meat
it should be boiled tender so the hens
can pick it off easily. Ialways keep
q cake of pork scraps and good
supply of pounded bones, oyster and
clam shells, bits Of plaster, line,
gravel stones, and sand in my hen
house | also save all the shells of
the eggs used by the family during
the summer months, dry them we'll
and pound up fine and feed in the
coldest of the weather. Hens wat
a GOOD place 10 dust in the winter,
for this urpose have shallow box
in warm place filed with wood
ashes, ard l1st, but not least, let
them have an abundance of pure,
clean, atntrozen watey by them all
the time.
There has been great deal of
discussion as to what - the best breed
OF tOWl Tor laNing. 1 think that ev-
cry one will agree with me that the
best for wjnter laying are the Brah
mas. although there are many breeds
which are ahead Of them in the sum
mar time. | think that the best va
riety a farmer can keep is a mixture
of the Spanish or LeghOrn with the
Br1llad, always keeping full blood
ell cocks of both breeds, and chang
ing every year.
In conc usion; | would say that l
always have a good supply of eggs
duringsthe winter. and the more at
tention you give your fowls the bet
ter YOU will be paid.
Yours, &c. E. A. J.

CHURCH INcIDENT.-A minister of a
western village found, one Sabbath. a
notice which had been cut from Satur.
days newspaper, and placed in his desk
for him to read to his congregation. But,
by a strange coincidence. there happened
to be printed on the other side of the slip
the advertisement of a certain shoe
dealer, a prominent member of his church
and without turning the paper to read
the other side, as the advertisement met
his eye, the good man concluded it was
expected he would read il, and according
ly, to the surprise Of all, be announced,
at the usual point for reading notice
"George s. Brown keeps constantly on
hand, and for sale, large and well Sc
lected assortment of boots aud shoes,
which he will sell low for cash, at No 10
Pine street."
And he added
" Brother Brown is worthy member
of the church aud society and deserving
the patronage of the congregation"
The CONSERVATION of Brother Brown
may better be imagined than described.

Mice and Rabbits in Winter.

Mice % much injury in winter to
young trees and plants, as we'll as
the growing lettuce and caulihowcrs
in hot-beds. We have got rid of
them in the hot-bed by the use If ar
senic mixed with Indian meal placed
on old dishes or pieces of shingle-
They seem to prefer the meal to the
c vegetables. AS to young trees the
best mode is to remove any mulching
that may remain about them and BAN
dage them with pieces of old cloths
of any kind, allowing them to run
an irch below the surface and six to
i eight inches above. If there should
be an early fall of snow. trample it
hardal ound tn tr e and if ne,ess ry
shovel some additional sn wv in order
that compact body may be secur-
ed.
Rabbits, in case of deep sno~s re-
naming on the ground for a long
time are much more destructive %
young lrees, than mice. They will
clear a tree of its bark for two feet
killing it outright. The best rene
DIV We know for this is to catch
as many as possible by setting nu-
merous traps, and if this is not suf-
4icient to get rid of them, feed them
regalar}ywth vegetables. They are
particularly fon1 of catbages
{ and apples, but will eat vegetables of
almost any kind before attacking the
tee.
We have known this method to be
tried with entire success, but they
.mu-t be properly tried, and not left
until half an orchard or garden is de-
stroyeds-G Germantown Telegraph.

AN INCIDENT AT NEWARK.

Monday, as a train loaded with Pitts
burg delegates was hating at Newark, 3
crowd of soldiers, with a band playing,
gathered at the rear of the train and call
ed for johnson. In obedience to the call,
says a correspondent of the Columbus
Journal, the portly looking Secretary Of
State, Wisconsin, appeared, and commen
eed bowling, hat in hand. He advanced
a step and said, "Fellow-CitizensP when
the air was rent with shouts for Grant and
in response to the call, solid-looking in
dividual, properly labeled U. s., came for
ward, modestly bowed and retired.
The President again endeavored to
''say his piece" but was repeatedly inter
rupted by calls for Farragut, Wells, Sew
ard, Randall. etc, the prototype OF each
appearing and modestly acknowledged the
compliment. Calls were again made for
Grant, when the prototype of Custer with
"suburn" moustaches, combed and waxed
a la rats, vociferously announced to the
audience 'that they could not insult the
President through General Grant" AT
this point some delegate, with stentorian
lungs, remembering that they were in the
18th District, proposed three cheers for
the Hon. Columbus Delano, which were
given with will; to which ''Custer" re-
piled: "That's another insult to the Presi-
dent which we cannot stand" At this
point the train moved of, leaving the
President clinging to the breaks, waving
the Constitution and the flag with thirty
six, not twenty-five stars. 49,. -,--.

. JEFFERSON vs. JOHNSON.

q In 1907, while Mr.. Jefferson was Presi-
dent Of the United States, bis party friends
of the Northern States urged him to make
tour through these States, so that they
might see him and pay him their respects.
In his reply Mr.. Jefferson said; +.
With respect to the tour my friends in
the North have proposed that should
make in that quarter, I-haye not made up
final opinion. The course of life which
Gen. Washington had run, civil and mill
tary, the services he had rendered, and
the space he therefore occupied in the af-
fections of his fellow-citiEsns, take from
his examples the weight or precedent for
others, because no others can srrogste to
themselves the claims which be had on
the public homage. To myself, therefore,
it comes as new question, to be viewed
under all the phases it may present !
confess am not reconciled to the idea Of
Chief Magistrate parading himself. thro'
the several States as an object Of public
gaze and in quest of an applause which,
to be valuable, should be purely voluntary.
had rather acquire silent good will BY q
faithful discharge of my duties than owe
expressions of it to my putting myself in
the way of receiving them.-J9srson's

FINEFROCK AND HIS RECORD.

O. We read somewhere that having 0hended one
of the gods, a certain person was compelled TO
roll stone to tho top Of q bill and no sooner
had he accomplished the feat, than the stors
rolled down again and he was compelled to re-
peat his labor forever Finefrock, the eloquent
and graceful, finds himself laboring under
similar curse. rHis record during the war is
one of the most damning kind. Henow finds
that his only possible ghost of chance Of suc.
cess in this district is getting rid Of this record
and accepting the condition Of things as made
through the efforts of the soldiers. Hence, he
endeavofs, with his most hurcaleGn efforts to
make it appear that the martyred Lincoln hay.
ing been the idol of the nation. and the grand
mover in the crushing out OF the rebellion, in
dying left policy, which A. johnson is relg-
iously carrying Out-that as ise LIMERICK u
an ardent admirer and supporter of ''my poli-
cy," hence he should receive the suffrage Of the
eople,-because he and johnson are On the
same platform, and A. ]. S platform Is the same
as that of the martyr President In each and
every speeCh he makes, does be rsiterate the
same thing. But no sooner is he done, than
some portion Of his record meets him, and, as
occasion offers is scompelled to do the same thing
over again. The great mass of traitorous, Sc
cession and rebellious record which he has made
for himself, is the stone thar in descending viii
crush him-he will be defeated In the district.
SO badly that he viii ferventlJ wish he Shad
went in the army, and not given so frequent
utterance to secession sentiments. The Fre-
mont Journal has been collecting some Of these
uttersnces, and for the purpose Of giving t N
to our readers, we copy them.-BEcyrEs Jour.
