fowls consume them abuhdahtly, and
eeonomise ana apply every scattered seed
or kernel that would otherwise be vast
cd. In another point ~ view, Il the cost
Of attendance and shelter greater with
poultry than with cattleH / reply, No.
As to the production ofeggs, that depends
upon the quality and quantity Of food and
proper warmth and shelter. There Il no
fear of overstocking the market with eth
er eggs or poultry. We consume In Lon
don daily 100000 of foreign eggs I

themselves at harvest time, when the co, n

corn on fields adjoining the hen-housp.
l had the past year two fields of wheat
drilled. and only one bushel of seed per
acre. They came within twenty yards of
the fowl-house, and were perfect plants,
although the poultry had been scratching
and cultivating the fields from the time
they were drilled. We are apt to forget
that fowls, like sheep, manure where they
go. must say used at one time to feel
nervous and angry when j saw them hard
