In long communication to the Ger
mantown Telegraph, upon the subject OF
poultry, Mr.. r. Dwight, of Hudson,
Michga considers the question, How
to get plenty of good favored fresh eggs
with little trouble, and thinks if there
is any secret Ia it he has discovered it,
and makes the same public for the bene-
tit of all people. lie says
Once, 80 years ago, [ was troubled
just as my neighbor now is. | fed my
hens plenty OF corn and got but few eggs
In reasoned upon the matter, and
happened to think that the constituent
parts of milk and the whites OF eggs
were much alike. Now, it had long been
known to miismen that wheat mlddiIng5
and bran are the best of any feed TO
make Il COW give milk; why not then the
best to make Il hen lay eggs? tried 1t,
and since then have had no trouble. My
mode Of preparing the feed is to mix
about five parts OF bran with one of mld-
dliugs. La the morning | wet up with
water about / quarts OF the mixture In
large tin pan, taking pains to have 1t
rather dry, though all damp. This L sat

thug better, but always come back III

CULTURE OF CELz.RY.
As celery is one OF the most palatable
and wholesome vegetables. 1t should be
found III every garden. Another advan-
tage 1t possesses Is, that 1t may be kept
perfectly fresh throughout the winter.
j July Is the best month for planting Gel
cry, 1t may be planted at any time from
the middle OF June till the middle of Al

suited for setting out the main crop.
The ground OF this crop should be deep

plan is nov adopted by gardeners. The
former Is, perhaps, the best for private
gardens.
Spelling HORSES FEET.
It is almost i'm possible to get a horse
shad without having the frog cut away
All veterinary surgeons. all horscmen all
leading biacksm tbs agree that the frog
should not be pared one particle not
even trimmed. No matter how soft and
pllab.e the frog is, cut it away -smooth
on all sides and in two days it will be
dry and hard as chip. You might as
well cut off all the leaves of trees and ex-
peet them to flourish as to pare away
the frog and have healthy foot The
rough spongy part of the frog is to the
foot what leaves are to the tree-the
lungs. Never have red hot shoe put
