From the Country Gentleman,
Hens Laying In Winter.

MEssRs. EDITORS -
A new.laid egg at this Indictment season, is
something 30 unusual with some Of my neigh
bors, that | am led to make few remarks on
the subject. 1t is desirable to have goodly
number, when the grocer will pay fifty cents
per dozen for them, without regard to size, to
say nothing Of their convenience in the cult
nary department.
Now the first thing to observe is the age Of
your fowls; no matter what the breed, they
must be young | would never keep hen
after two and a half years. Early spring
chickens will begin to lay in early winter and
with proper care and food viii keep doing so

size materially, and think is fully developed
after the first litter.
In the second place you want good breed

Provide warm roosts for your hens, and
keep them as warm and comfortable as possi

quarters were provided for fowls Of all kinds,
so that they do not nearly perish before spring,
every hen would produce double the number
of eggs with no more feed. When comibrta.
bic houses are provided for poultry, and they
are supplied with sufficient amount of nu-
tricious food to keep them in fair condition,
as soon as the warm weather returns every
hen will produce one egg day for a long
time When turkeys are not properly cared
for in winter, the hens frequently cease TO lay
after they have dropped seven or eight eggs
and many times they do not lay more than
FIVE eggs before they are disposed to set. But
il they could have the benefit of comlorta-
bic hcnncry in very cold weather, every hen
turkey would produce twice as many eggs AS
she would be able TO cover during the period
Of incubation.
Poultry-houscs should always be built, if
practicable on the sunny side Of some hill,
or on the south side Of some spacious build
ing and it is always better to have poultry
house in the basement of some building, where
the walls are tight and thick, so that the
| fowls would not suffer injury from the sud-
den transitions of the weather from heat to
cold. Fowls like to bask in the sunshine, be-
cause it invigorates them, and does tor them
what the best of food never can accomplish.
/ Fowls like to have dry place during the
sunshiny days Of winter, not in the hennery
/ but ON the sunny side of some high board
/ fence, where they will be- shielded from the
cold wind. In order to have fowls thrive sat
/ islactorily in the summer they must be fed
abuudautly ia the winter, and be shielded
from the intense cold and the chilling winds

duciug ton Of poultry with satisfactory prof

How TO Raise Poultry.

\ ton of Poultry at only fifteen cents per
pound will bring the handsome little sum of
$500. Almost every farmer in the country
might raise from half ton to a ton every
season about as well az not. The children.
IN some instances, with little encouragement
from their parents and guardians, could man
age hens and chickens until they are all large
enough 10 take care of themselves II win
not cost near as much time, grain and expense
IN every other respect TO produce ton of
poultry as to make a ton of beef or mutton,
when such meat is produced by feeding much
grain. 1t is usually more economical to raise
gallinaeeous fowls than ducks, turkeys, or
geese, as ducklngs and turkeys are sometimes
extremely tender. But chickens can usually
be produced with little care and at trihing
expense.
But whatever may be the kind of poultry
raised, in order to meet with satisfactory sue
cess, II is better to commence in autumn or
the fore part of winter. All kinds of fowls
require protection from the rigors of our
northern winters, as protection from intense
cold during winter is absolutely essential 10
the prolifcacy Of all fowls. When turkeys
are accustomed to roost in trees, or anywhere
IN theopen air they suffer so intensely DURING
the coolest days and nights that they cannot
commence laying until late in the spring.
And even when they do begin to lay, they
produce only few eggs. But If comfortable

Concede that, for the present, only gardens
orchards, vineyards, nurseries, etc, are likely
to be thoroughly worked to any such depth
as two feet, how great must be the increase
of products thus secured That the yield of
beets, carrots etc, would be increased bv
more than fifty dollars worth per acre will
hardly be doubted while an orchard thus
trenched would endure twice AS long as one
stranded on hard-pan that rises to within six
inches of the surface The best practical
farmer | know assured me, three years ago,
that he grew twelve acres of good cahbages
on an ordinarily SUBSIDIZED field with less than
half the fertilizers that he must have applied
had he plowed but six or seven inches; while
severe, protracted drought, that had stopped
the growth Of his neighbor's &" truck" had
produced no effect on his. | must improve
some other occasion TO set forth my convict
ion that in our precarious climate, subject to
the great extremes of food and drought,
deep working is of the very highest import
ance, and that deepening our arabic fields will
more conduce to the increase of our national
wealth and strength than the purchase of Il
hundred Samanas and Walrussias. Suffice it
for the present that have ready answer to
those who cavil--" 1t is very well to talk of
deep working; but who does it2 Where d?
How is it to be done ?" To these questions

patterns, and improving on them if you can.

Tapping Maple Trees.

greater circumspcction ON the part OF the
owners OF sugar orchards than was exercised
during the early settlement Of the country
Then tree was regarded as an enemy to be-
slain. and as the sugar maple generally had
possession of the best ground for farming pur-
poses. tapping the trees by boxing was regard.
cd as a ready mean, of getting present sup
ply of sugar while promoting an early death
of the tree itself By thi, process a tree
would be girdled in three or four years and
BE- the more readily removed from the soil.
