Old Folks.

All. don't be sorrowful, darling.
And don't be sorrowfIl, pray;
Taking the year together, my dear,
There isn't more night than day.
'Tis rainy weather, my darling.
Times waves, they heavily run:
But taking the year together, my dear.
There isn't more cloud than sun.
We are old folks now, my darling.
Our hearts they are growing gray:
But taking the year all round, my dear.
You will always find the May.
We have had our May, my darling.
And our roses long ago;
And the time of the year is coming my dea
For the silent night and the snow.
And God is God. my darling,
OF night As well as day,
And we feel and know that we can 90
Wherever he leads the way.

Sea-Weed as Manure.

Sea-wced has been known and valued
as an important fertilizer ever since the

hundred years ago, used to call it core"

and lay in great heaps, where it heateth

Why Hens Lay So Much.

The Poultry World has lately published
several articles on .Selection in Breed
mg." from one of which we condenSe the
following on the above subject
In their natural state all birds lay Il
many as the hen can cover during ncu-
baton. Those birds that rear more than
one brood during the year being no more
liable to accidents than single-brooded
birds. rear the most Young, consequently
this variety would predominate Now
when tho jungle fowl was brought into
domestication, in addition to its wild
habits Of laying fifteen eggs and then sit
ting, it is made to increase the number of
eggs beyond fifteen, by taking advantage
Of its natural power of provision for ac-
cidents, by removing the eggs as fast as
vent its abandonment The hen natural
ly is forced to lay a few additional eggs
to supply the apparent deficiency in the
number usual when incubation is com
menccd Under domestcation, the rob-
berry of hen 5 nests is carried on regularly
and constantly, and the production Of
eggs is stimulated at a great rate This
is assisted by the abundant supply Of food
at All seasons. Food is plenty with wild
fowls only during the breeding season,
but man, by supplying plenty during the
Winter, makes Spring and Summer cN-
tend through the whole year This in
duces a habit OF continuous laying that
becomes hereditary. This work OF breed
mg strains of fowls to be great layers by
gathering their eggs daily was not per
formed with any conscious purpose. The
keepers took the eggs because they We're
wanted, and carried on this practice with
out knowing or caring that the habits Of
the birds would become permanently
changed thereby. This habit is perpetu-
ated unconsciousy by most people who
keep fowls for use The guide wife, :
when setting hen, always selects the
eggs from hens that are good layers. "Old
Brownie is such a good layer | like the
breed. SO old Brownies eggs are saved
for setting The keeper thus unconscious
ly selecting the eggs for setting, goes on
improving his stock in this quality from
wear to year
All these causes have been in operation
for thousands Of years, for the change
from thirty or fifty eggs per annum to five
times that amount, was not accomplish she'd
i'll single one hundred years.
The writer thinks that the reason why
geese and ducks do not lay 50 continuous
ly or so abundantly as hens, is because
they We're migratory fowls, and their
breeding season is more limited than that
of the Jungle fowl which is 4 constant res
ident. In the northern regions where they
rested the season is short and what was
done, was done quickly.

SEEDING WASTE PLACES. The Ohio
Farmer recommends feeding out hay in
winter on places where the grass has been
killed out 1t says; BY placing the sled
upon the barn floor, and throwing the
hay from the NOW upon it, the seed which
shells off is not lost, but may be left where
desired. We have practiced this method
of improving pastures in winter, and know
that the labor pays we'll. Some may argue
that it makes a loss of feed, but that is
not the case if two things are Observed
hrst, that the ground is not soft nor snow
upon 1t; and second, that no more is Civ
en- ea the stock than they would eat clean in
the stable. Cattle in the main have good
appetltes' and will lap up almost every
spear given them by a careful manager.

RAISE YOUR OwN TREES Farmers
and fruit growers often complain that the
trees they buy lack sufficient root, having
been mangled and cut off in digging, and
say If they could only go to tho nursery
themselves and Oversee the digging of the
trees, they could have much better success.
Now this can be easily obviated by pur-
chasing 1000 to 20o0 apple gratis and set
ting them out in the spring six inches
apart in the rows, and rows four feet
apart; and when three years old they can
be carefully dug, and set out Immediately
after digging. Or one or two year old
trees can be purchased and set one foot
apart, and allowed to stand one or two
years, and then transplanted into the orch
ard. Many farmers sons would find it 4
pleasant, money -making business to pur-
chase few thousand gratis at only So to
81 per 1000, set them as above described.
| ana in three years time at least two
thirds OF them would become good sala-
bic trees at Sl5 to $40 per 100 An adj
vantage that a farmer would have who
| wished to set out an orchard of POO or 800
hrst-class trees is that he would have his
choice from double that number, if 1000
gratis were set. Fruit Recorder.
