with seven acres on the Buchanan

apple orchards planted SO eqrly by
one OF the most intrepid and earnest
pioneers who ever Blessed our State.
Here 36os grated apple trees were
set In orchard rows and most thor.

Not the least discoura. cement was.x-

The HEN AND Duck AS EGG PRoDUCERs.-
a paper has beenrecieved by the Paris Acad
envy of Sciences from M. Comaille on the
comparative value of the. hen and the
duck as egg-producers. His observations
were limited to three hens and three ducks,
all the animals Matched at the same time in
the month of FEBRUARY. During the, follow.
ing autumn the ducks laid 225 eggs they re-
commenced laying in February, and contin-
lasddod do so until the middle of August.
The. hens laid noseggs during the autumn,
but began in January and left off in the mid,
die Of August. The totals of each at the end
of that time were-the hens, .257 eggs the
ducks, GIT. NJ. Comaille next examined the
nutritive value of each kind of egg, and found
them nearly equal in that respect Hence
the duck is more. profitable than the hen by
far. Sd II 80 ,ElGlsi 5ooa
