How to get Plentyof Fresh Eggs.

In long communication to the
Germantown Telegraph, upon the sub
ject of poultry, Mr.. +. Dwight, of
Hudson, Michigan, considers the
question, "How to get plenty Of good
favored fresh eggs with little trou-
ble," and thinks if there is any secret
in it he has discovered it, and makes
the same public for the benefit of all
interested. He says: a..
"Once, thirty years ago, I was trou.
bled just as my neighbor now is. l
fed my hens plenty of corn and got
but few eggs. l reasoned upon the
matter, and happened to think that
the constituent parts Of milk and the
white of eggs were much alike. Now
it has long been known TO milimen
that wheat middlings and bran are
about the best Of any feed to make d
COW give milk; why not then the best
TO mako hens lay eggs? I tried it,,
and since then have had ho trouble.
My mode of preparing the feed is to
lila Hooug Afo pttt 70 VI VI ldii Will WV
of middlings. In the morning I wet
up with water about four quarts of
the mixture in large tin pan, taking
pains to have it rather dry, though all
damp. This I set in warm, sunny
spot, south of their shed, and they
walk up, take few dips, don't seem
to fancy it lilse'corn and start off on a
short hunt for something better, but
always coming around in short time
for few more from the dish Of bran.
There is little time during the whole
day but what one or more are stand
ing by tho pan, and likewise helping
themselves.
III am careful to mix for them just
as much as they will consume during
the day. At night, just before they
repair to the roost, l usually throw
them about pint of shelled corn,
we'll scattered, so that each one can
get a few kernels. If your hens don't
incline to cat this feed at first, sprin-
kle a little Indian meal on top. /
would like all who complain Of not
getting eggs to try my plan, and l
think they will never bc sorry"

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
FRIDAY, JUNE so, 1871.

The COUNTRY round about Alexandria is
improving as rapidly, perhaps, as any part OF
the State, and bids fair, under the present sys-
tenn of cultivation, to be as productive. Espe-
ciay is this the case in Alexandria county,
where the salubrity Of the climate, excellent
roads, proximity to the cities Of Washington,
Georgetown and Alexandria, and the advauta-
gcs arising from this contiguity, arabic land,
susceptible Of the highest improvement, and
most beautifully undulating, with a population
which, for intelligence, integrity, industry and
hospitality, surrounded by all the conyenences
and comforts of life, is seldom excelled, present
inducements that are attracting the attention
of many seeking country residences, and there
has been consequent appreciation IN the
price of the lands, equal, if not greater than
that noticed in other portions Of the Common
wealth. or in any of the neighboring States.
Some Of the scenery too is beautiful, and the
panorama presented from the tops OF the hills,
as the beholder looks down upon the three
cities distinctly visible, the surrounding country,
all carpeted with the richest vcrdure, and the
Potomac, with its broad expanse Of water,
bearing upon it's bosom sail and steam vessels,
with the opposite Maryland shore looming up
as a back ground, all combine to make a picture,
such as is seldom seen, and rarely exceeded.
The crops generally look Aourishing, the wheat
turned out" well the corn, notwithstanding
want of rain, is vigorous many farmers are
making hay, Of which, however, there will
be less than usual vegetables are plentiful,
fruit in abundance and nature has lavishly
poured out her blessings, this season, upon
our County friends.
