IMPORTANT TO TIE EMPLOYERS OF
FREEDMEN.--The following purports to
be an extract from late circular issued
by Gen. Howard in reference to making
contracts with freedmen:
Gen. Howard has issued the following
circular Hereafter and until further or
ders, no fees or charges will be made BY
officers of this bureau for services ren.
dered in making contracts between freed
men and their employers either in the ex-
animation, approving, Witnessing or reg
istering Of contracts or otherwise. lio

be understood that they will be rendered
without charge to the parties concerned.

HENS VERSUS DucKs.-A paper. .has'bec
received by tho Paris Academy Of Sciences
from NJ. Comaille, on tho comparative
value Of the hen and duck egg producers
His observations were limited to three hens
and three dscks, all fine animals. hatchcd
at the same time in the month OF February.
During the following autumn the ducks
laid OPS eggs they recommended laying
in February, and continued to do so until
the m iddle Of August. The hens laid no
eggs during the autumn. but began in JAN
uary, and left off in the middle Of August.
The totals Of each at the end OF that time
were-the hens 257, eggs; the ducks 6l7.
NJ. G omaille 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.
