the season. Keep an old mother Brahma to
do the breeding, The Brahma is eminently
domestic, like the Arabian horse; and like
hun in pedigree, is no doubt accustomed to
the house, IA member of the family. Keep a
rooster of each kind and keep the hens sepa-
rate The Brahmas will bear close quarters,
and it matters not if they are pretty old--it
will not seriously affect their laying. You
will say, for few hens it will not do to keep
two roosters. But this is not so. Hens do
better with a mate of this kind, and the state
illness and beauty of the black cock are GER
talnly worth their cost, for a finer and hand
somcr fowl is not to be found on the dung
hill. Either Of the two breeds will do better
for the table, though the Asiatic is probably
the best. So their eggs are of the largest
kind, and are rich, well favored eggs. We
do not like this mixing of breeds, and this
botherng about Matching. Keep the non
settlers for summer and orientals for Winter.
Treat well, without any special formula.
Give enough TO eat and drink, regularly, dust
OF some kind for egg shells and to wallow in,

and hight Il6 feet 90 times 40 makes 500.
multiplied by 10, equal to 1880 cubic feet,
which being divided by 709 the number of
feet that make a tun Of 1000 pounds, will
give Is tuns POI pounds. The top of NOW,
say about one-tbird, we rate at 500 feet to
the tun, the middle 700 feet, and the bottom
OF the NOV at GOO; so the whole bulk would
average 700 feet if the now is ~ or Is feet
deep; but if only Eve or six feet deep, count
500 feet for tun, and so accordingly with
other bulks.
