About Setting Hens.

A correspondent of the Poultry World
gives this advice about setting hens:
/ have been asked how manage to set
so many hens with so little apparent trou-
BILE, and such marked success; and know
ing from my own experience how vexa-
tious it is to have perhaps from fifteen to
twenty-five hens sitting at one time, and
upon going into the sitting-rOom some
day, find two or three on a nest and the
neglected eggs stone cold-eggs that cost,
perhaps, a dollar apiece-1 thought it
might benefit the poultry raisers out West
to have me give my plan in detail, viz:
l arrange my nest boxes along the side of
a long room or shed, putting in the bot
tom of each box layer of earth (any kind
will dol, then layer of wood ashes, and
over all layer of salt hay. lprefer hay,
because it is more soft and yielding, and
because l am convinced it is a great help
in keeping the hen free from vermin.
remove the hen wanting to sit to one
of these boxes, covering her while NOV
ing, so she can't see the light, and when
she is nicely settled on the eggs sprinkle
a little sulphur among her feathers, and
then cover the front of the coop with a
board, liberating her every other day 10
feed, ETC. This is often enough to lei
the hen off, and if she should chance to
be forgotten it will do her no harm to
wait another day. The advantages of my
plan are these: it is cheap, little trouble
and systematic, my hens coming of and
going on like clock-work, and they really
seem to enjoy it.

Call for a Soldiers and Sailors Ma

THE following address has been issued
by the Veterans National Committee,
calling for a general convention of the
soldiers and sailors who served in the
Union army and navy during the late
war:
HEADQUARTERS VETERANS NATIoNALl
COMMITTEE, FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL
NEW YORK CITY, July 5, 1872
To the Soldiers and Sailors who Served the
Union Army and Navy during the Late War:
COMRADES: The undersigned, a commit
tee appointed for the purpose by meeting
of Veterans from all sections of the country,
who were assembled in Philadelphia upon
the 5th day of June, in attendance upon the
Republican National Convention, and which
meeting unanimously resolved to abide by
and support the nomination of said Conven-
ton, hereby invite you to meet in mass con-
vention at Pittsburg, Pa, on the nth day of
September, 1872, for the purpose of express
ing our unreserved belief that the destinies
of the country for the ensuing. four years
should be under the protection of men who
never faltered in the hour of our counfry's
greatest danger. We believe that meu
should be placed in high positions of state
who, in the hour of our greatest peril, gave
that intellect, personal reputation and per-
sonal faith in the business OF our cause
which was necessary to save the country and
place us in the position we now occupy.
We congratulate ourselves upon the fact
that the Government, during the past three
and half years, has been administered
by one of our comrades, who has shown
wonderful civil capacity in aiding in the re-
duction of the public debt, in conducting
our foreign affairs with great skill, so that

ing the heat of summer, or rather that of
getting heads at all. Our own plan used
to be to grow them in trenches contain
ing rich compost, where they might be
protected by shade from extremes of heat,
and where moisture could be literally
supplied.
A correspondent of the Massachusetts,
PIOughmdn thus describes his method,
which without doubt will prove success
full, where lettuce is required during the
summer months:
q thinned it out, then carefully slipped
a cotton twine under the lowest leaves of
each plant, and gently raised them few
inches from the ground, and tied them
loosely, then placed shingle upon each
plant, and small stone to keep it firm.
Every evening removed the coverings,
watered each head, and replaced the pro-
tective covers in the morning, as found
the SUMS rays had a tendency to cause
the lettuce to run up to seed, and remov-
ing the cover at night allowed it a suffi-
cheney of fresh air, so that neither mold
nor decay made its appearance. / was
rewarded by large, solid heads of supe-
rior quality, and the hearts were white,
sweet and crisp. Not single plant fail
ed of heading, and none decayed or bore
seed
