The Massachusetts P1ougInaan says. eggs on
which hen is setting should be examined al
ter seven or eight days to see If they eontain
chickens. This can best be done at night
by looking through the egg, held between
the thumb and fore-fnger, at candle. If 1t
is clear, and looks as ii filled with melted wax
1t should be removed. AS soon as examined
they should be carefully replaced under the
hen.
Warren Leland writes to the Country Gentle
man Directing to recommendations that
corn cribs be constructed in barns. He tried
he plan and found it resulted in large waste
age from rats and mice, and frnm damaged
corn. He then tried the old fashioned corn
crib, SET on posts extending three feet from
the, ground and with inverted tin pans on the
top, and having Stat floor and Stat sides. Such
building is rat and mice proof and perfect
ly preserves tie corn. M 4f

directions for packing beef For 100 pounds

ize. mix thoroughly; sprinkle layer half an
inch thick in the bottom of a barrel; pack a
layer of beef close down upon it. and pound
it close with wooden pestle; cover with the
mixture pack another layer close, and so

MANURE FOR PoFAToEs. The Hearth ana
Home gives the following recipe for making a
mineral manure that is especially adapted to
potatoes Take one cask Of lime and slack it
with water, and then stir in it one oushel of
fine salt, and then mix in loan, or ashes
enough that it will not become mortar ; 1t
will make about five barrels. Put half pint
in hill at planting. All manures contain
ing potash are particularly suitable for the
potato. Ashes containing more than any 9th
er natural fertilizer, should be freely used-and
carefully saved. 81
