A correspondent Of the Country Gen.
leman writes:
''After repeated experiments during
the past twenty-five years in hatchin1
chickens, am fully convinced that
to~is Matched in the month of JuIv
make tar better layers than those born
at any other season of the year. Early
matched chickens commence laying in
September, aud continue until cold
january weather, when they discon-
tlnue until spring. On the oSLer hand.
when Matched in July or August, they
begin laying in February, and continne
until October. I find July chickens
will average 80 to Is more ceqs nearly
than those Matched IN March, NJ
method, therefore, is to hatch 100

breed I have ever known. and as mar

Government as runner, and in this
capacity, while carrying dispatches for
the commanding officer of Fort Niaga-
RI to Canantlaigua, he performed the
almost incredible feat of running q

George was also O great hunter, and

SHIPMENTS OF CATTLE TO GLAS.
Cow.
a new and Successful Entorprisc.

~"u S~ccessful Enlerprlsc.
From tho Nev York Evening poat, Sept. "a.
a novel feature in American exports
~ the shipment Of live cattle from this
point TO Glasgow, to be slaughtered
lof the scottish market. The enter
PRISE was lately undertaken by the firm
OF John Bell 4 Sons, the largest whole
sac butchers in Scotland, who supply
the Anchor Line of steamships. A
member OF tho firm, Henry Bell, is
now IN this city, and was questioned
today in regard to the management
and extent of tho new business.
ne SAID the price of beef in Scotland
,l"a advanced SO per cent. within the
last ten years, in consequence Of the
r'nderpest and the rigid restrictions
subsequently imposed by the Govern
ment on tho Sinlportation from abroad.
Many Of these restrictions are still in
force and the importation of cattle
from certain continental countries is
absolutely prohibited. The state of
affairs determined the firm to try
the experiment of obtaining cat
tie from tho United States, the
COST Z OF the, native cattle in
the Glasgow market being from $3.50
to 1926 per head. The latter price,
however, is that of only the best prize
oxen. - *. 80. - E.,
The firm sent out at first for but six
head, which arrived at Glasgow in an
Anchor steamer in. the first week of
July. These proved SO satisfactory
that Mr.. Henry Bell sailed for this
country on the 18th of that month to
make the enterprise regular bust
ness: He began by sending out six
head OF cattle by each of the Anchor
steamers, but has now increased the
armber to twelve: # sufficient &C.
commodati0ns can b0 obtained he
lnte2ds to soon forward twenty by each
vessel, making an average of forty per
week 1t is doubtful. however, if the
weekly average of this line can exceed
more than thirty.
: The cattle come from Illinois, and
are bought by Mr.. Bell, Ut Commune
paw, at an average Of 800 per head.
The cost Of transportation, sincluding
freight charges, feed and attendance,
averages about SIS per head 80 that
the cost Of each when landed is $175.
As tho animal is equal in weight
and quality to native bullock costing
$3.50 in Glasgow, the extra profit to the
firm is, under favorable circumstances.
about $15. No insurance is effected.
as the cost of this would almost exactly
counterbalance the profit.

A correspondent~of2 the Germantown
Telegraph in giving his experience in
blowing under brush says My idea
was that one great cause Why we could
not get as good crops from old fields as
when they were first cultivated, was
owing, in great part to the density of
the soil. had observed that the first
eight or ton years after clearing Oft the
forest the land would give good crops
with very little care in blowing the
reason for this I argued was the decay.
ing of the innumerable rootlets of the
trees cut down. In order to test this
theory l cut about two tons of water
brush, bareback and other small
bushes, and let them lie in q
pile exposed to the weather one wear,
and then applied them toa half.acre OF
lard, applying barnyard manure to an
other half acre adjoining. The result
proved the manure to be a little the
