to narrowing and rolling, it Is advisable TO
sow clover and orchard or mixed grasses for

gained by sleeping the seed. An advantage
will be gained, however, by coating the seed

Fattcning Poultry.

Corn Is in this country the obviously proper
feed for fattening fowls. 1t makes flesh OF
fair quality. Dat meal gives better flavor
but less fat. Corn should predominant, and
be fed for the most purt ground, because more
can be dgcsted than when it must all be re-
duced by slow process in the gizzard. The
latter is perfect mill, but if employed too
much the muscular excrtion Of working it
takes something from The rate of fattcning.
The corn meal should, for a few days, be
thoroughly cooked, but the mess will soon
pail upon the appetite, and then the meal may
be merely sc,lded, and finally fed raw, since
fowls like this best, and they should be iu-
duced to eat as much as possible. TO tempt
with variety, give all occasional feed of buck
wheat corn, and wheat whole, and oats,
which last should lie ground and screened,
50 as to remove all the larger fragments OF
the l,lls. Boiled potatoes and fresh cooked
meat should he allowed sparingly, and every
other day little cayenne and salt must be
added to the dough. Feed adult poultry for
lattcning, three times day, and chickens four.
1t is especially necessary, when the days are
short, to give the first food at the appearance
OF light, and the last as late as possible. After
they have eaten TO safety, always remove
what is left. Feed at stated hours, and keep
the feeding-trough clean and sweet. 1t is
best 10 conline grown fowls in rather small
coopS, rs exercise prevents t;lttening. If
however, individuals unacauaintcd with each
other are put together, there is no gain in
close quarters, for they become uneasy; and
also half-grown chickens ought not to be shut
up, but rather induced to eat so much that
they will roam as little as possible, for il
taken from their accustomed run they are apt
to worry constantly. Shut out light from the
coop, excepting at feeding time, to promote
quictncss. There should be no perches

How TO ASCERTAIN WHEN IT IS Noon
"W. III. c." wants to know how to ascertain
the correct time at noon any day in the year,
so that he may be able to keep clock regu-
lated by it. To do this correctly requires the
use of delicate instruments by which the
highest altitude of the sun is taken. When
the sun is in this position it is on the me-
ridian, and it is noon at that particular place.
An approximation may be made by setting
up two plumb lines in such position that
they are in direct line with the north star
a post is then set perpendicularly beneath
each plumb bob. When the shadow Of the
south post falls exactly on straight line,
drawn from the foot of one post to that Of the
other, it is noon, for the sun is then exactly
in the south. This can he reduced to mean
time by comparing it with the time on which
the sun is on the meridian for that day as
given in the almanacs, and set the clock &C
neutrality-suspicious..

QUEER EGGs.-A subscriber in Charleston,
s. G., writes an interesting letter graphically
describing the effect produced upon the
colorcd people of his neighborhood by black
eggs which have been laid for two seasons by
a duck which he keeps. Such an occurrence
as black egg may, naturally enough, he con-
strued into an omen by the superstitious,
and is quite as anomalous as white black
bird. He says: "The duck is of an ordinary
English breed, with q white neck-ring and
breast. She lays about fifteen eggs, then
stops awhile and resumes. The first egg of
each laying is as black as the ink with which
your Journal is printed, and each successive
one is a shade lighter, until dark slate color
is reached. The color cannot be washed or
rubbed of; but can be removed by scraping
with knife" Our correspondent asks us to
explain the occurrence. We can only say
that in many cases Of discoloration of various
animal sccretions, carbon is the pigment de-
posted, and very likely it is in this instance.
The eggs must be considered abnormal, yet
they may produce ducklings that are perfectly
healthy. 1t is worth while to raise some in
order to find whether the trait will prove
hereditary, as it Observation-Disclosures.
