The Troubles i'm the Republican
Camp.

WASHINGTON, d. c. Nov. 25.-A good
many Senators and members have been here
during the last few days engaging quarters
for the session. An opportunity has thus
been given for an expression of views on
the revenue and civil service reform move
ment which proves to be quite unanimous
against any attempt TO form new or third
party, although quite general on the part of
Democrats and Western Republicans in fav-
or of organizing the next house on the basis
ofreyenue reform. One Western Republi-
can member declares that the people of his
section are united in favor.of reducing the
tariff to a revenue standard, without afford
ing any Incidental protection, and he be-
believes that an attempt will be made In
that direction at the coming session, without
waiting for the next Congress.
A Pennsylvania Republican member,
whose opinion has been asked, that the Ad-
ministration must resist such a movement
with all of its influence, and that the law
converting the Forty Second Congress on
the 4th of March must be repealed, or else
that State will be hopelessly lost to the Re
ublican party. The coal and iron and
manufacturing interests of that State. he
declares. will go to Litter decay If the tariff
Is further reduced.
The revenue reform Republican say that
they will show their strength in the present
House by uniting with the Democrats
vote TO prevent the repeal of the law con-
vening Congress on March 4th. While
there will be no absolute political coalition,
it Is pretty evident judging from the .gen-
eral talk of the liberal Republicans, that
members of the two parties will be found
voting together In the coming session, as
they voted In the last In favor of lower rates
of duties.
Soon after the Senate meets Mr.. Schurz
will make a speech on the revenue reform
movement.

1t is a well known fact, that from No
yember to February, the very time we
arein want of eggs most, they are, te
many, bill of expense, without any
profit. To promote fecundity and great
laying in the hen, it is necessary that they
be well fed on grain, boiled potatoes given
to them warm, and occasionally animal
food In the summer, they get their
supply of animal food in the form of
worms and insects, when suffered to run
at large; unless their number is so great
as to consume beyond the supply In their
rowing distance. | found il advantage

siOnally, and give the fowls run in the
garden and the field adjoining their yard,
for few hours in the day, when grass
hoppers and other insects we're plenty.
had two objects in view; one to benefit
the fowls, and the others to destroy the
insects. 1t will be found tina. the fecund-
ity of the hen will be increased or di-
minished according to the amount of ami
NAL food furnished.
Hens moult and cast their feathers
every year, generally commencing in Au-
gust and continuing until late in Novem-
Der. 1t is the approach, the duration,
and the consequences of this period,
which puts stop 10 their laying. 1t is
critical time for all birds. All the peri
cd while it lasts, even to the time that
the last feathers are replaced Ply new ones,
till these are full grown, the wasting of
the nutritive juices, prepared from the
blood for the very purpose OF promoting
this growth, is considerable and hence
it is no wonder there should not remain
enough in the body of the hem to cause
her egg to grow.
Old hens cannot always be depended ON
for eggs in winter, they scarcely being in
full feather before the last of December
and then, probably, may not begin to lay
till March or April, producing not more
than twenty or thirty eggs; and this Is
probably the cause of the disappointment
of those who have supplied themselves at
the markets with their stock to commence
with, and get few or no eggs, AS pullets
do not moult the first year, they COM
mence laying before the older hens, and
by attending to the Matching, eggs may
be produced during the year. An early
brood of chickens, therefore, by being
sheltered from the cold and wet,
and fed once day on boiled potatoes,
warm, with plenty of grain in the feed |
ing hoppers, and occasionally a little |
animal food, will begin to lay in the fall,
or early in the winter.
"When, says Bose, =" it is wished to
have eggs during the cold season, even in
the dead of winter, it is necessary to
make the fowl roost over an oven, in a
stable, or to erect stove in the poultry
house on purpose. By such methods the
farmers of 'Ague have chickens fit for the
table in the month of April, a period
when they are only beginning to be hatch
ed on the farms around Paris, although
farther to the south. 1t would be desira-
