The idle young gentleman ac-

Management Of Incubating Hens.

Management Of Incubating Hens.
On no account allow your hens
to incubate in the room In which
Your fowls rooet. It ID surprising
what . great quantity of fvermin
are generated in warm weather,
in the nest Of a sitting hen, and
any one who has ever paid the
least attention TO his fowls knows
what o pest said vermin are. and
uses every precantion to keep them
out of the poultry.house. Some
may use portable boxes, but even
these do not answer, for although
they can be taken out and burned,
still some of the vermin will find
their way out of the box, and like
as not, the head of one of your
fowls will be their harbor. The
other fowls will greatly annoy
those incubsting, and they also
take up nests that the other hens
should have to lay in.
Before ] had any experience
whatever in the poultry line, I
once set hen in the chicken house.
About ten days before her time
had expired. / noticed that che had
become exceedingly thin and
weak, and that she was scarcely
able to walk /; also shat she came
off her nest FIVE or six times a
day. She grew weaker and weak
er, until at last one morning on
going into. the hen-housc l found
her dead on her nest, the eggs
cold. and she, poor ching, was
completely covered with lice, the
the eggs and nest also full. This
accounts for her coming off so Of
ten. She would &c on her nest
and stay there until fairly driven
off by vermin.
Set your hens in some place
where they will not be disturbed,
and give them plenty of food and
fresh water. Some say that some
days before hatching, the eggs
should be washed, but this is all
moonshine. The hen, in getting
off and on her nest, turns them as
much as is needed, and what pos.
sible good can washing do them
1t is far more apt to prevent them
from Matching. Sometimes a hen
may want to cit when you are not
Of her mind. In such a case put
her in a coop and feed very spar
ingly for q week or ten days, and
she will be effectually cured Of her
incubating desires. ...-

How to Dissolve Bones.

q layer of them in the vessel pro

be added fresh lime IN proportion
Of half a bushel of lime to a barrel

Gold Tho Concealed wealth Of Al.

" q
Considerable excitement was
produced on the strcets yesterday
by the discovery Of deposit Of

ten or fifteen feet below the sur

nounced by competent judges to

We also examined at Mr.. Mitch

from metal discovered at the Ca
haba coal mines, which has the
appearance Of O bright 1s-karas

been worn for some time, and re-
tanned its color equal to the fine 4

his investigations.

killed the sternsman, q man
named Sales. Every one on board
felt violent shock, like that Of q

cept Sales was seriously injured.
Sparks of fire were scattered all
about the deck, and the fash of
the meteor was so brilliant that

The meteor apparently travelled
