Feeding Hens for Laying.

An Old woman once related what she

namely, that when eggs were high her
hens stopped laying, but when they were
cheap she always had plenty to sell. A
writer in the Country Gentleman tells OF a
way 10y which any one can have plenty of
eggs III the season when they arc usually
scarce and high priced
How to have plenty Of hens eggs in
Winter is an important question with

poultry stock is an Improbable enclm-
brance upon the farm. and farmers are apt
to suffer Il good deal of loss by means of

Hon. George Geddes in the Tribune says
Only few cases will Justify the expense of
cooking food TO make beef; the great body
of Northern farmers will not feed far into
the winter, and only few OF them will
have a sufficient number of animals to
Justify the extra cost Of labor involved in
cutting, grinding, and cooking food, and
most Of them will feed uncut forage, and
ground grain, and, ordinarily, four quarts
per day Of Indian meal, with good forage,
in full supply, will be as much meal as a
twelve or thirtecn-hundred-pound steer
will require to derive the most benefit
from all the food given More meal will
very often cause the animal to fat faster,
but not enongh faster to justify the extra
cost. True, he will eat less hay and other
forage. the more grain he is fed, but gen
orally the relative cost Of the various ar
ticles fed will be such that most profit viii
be derived from about four quarts of In
dian meal per day, and all the hay-stalk'
and straw the animal will eat.

Early Potatoes.

Dr HeNamer, in the New Y ork Tribune.
gives instructions how TO start early pota-
toes that are in..order inst now. 1t is about
time. He says BY starting the sets pre-
Yious to planting them out, marketable po-
tatoeS can be grown from two to three
weeks earlier than is possible in common
field culture 70 accomplish this take
wooden boxes OF any size. about three
inches deep, cover the bottom about one
inch with fine sandy soil, and lay the sets
on the same close together, 50 that they
touch each other without crowding. Sets
of single eyes are preferable for forcing,
and rs the seed is Of comparatively little
value only good strong eyes should be used
with aS much ofthe substance Of the pota-
to attached to them as possible The boxes
are then filled up with soil and left in Il
moderately warm place for few days.
Gradually the temperature should be in
creased, but great care has TO be taken TO
prevent the Young plants from being fore
ed too rapidly Whenever the shoots APP
l,car pale and spinding the temperature
has been placed too high. Sprouts which
have once been enfecbled. by over forcing
VIII rarely recover entirely and cannot
produce good hills of potatoes. The place
for forcing should have as much light As
possible and the soil in the boxes has TO be
mostened with water Of the same temper
ature as the room, whenever it becomes
dry, without keeping ii wet all the time
In about three weeks the sprouts are large
enough for transplanting TO the field.

TuRNIp FLAVOR IN BUTTER. The Irish
method of arresting or destroying this
flavor in the milk Of turnip fed cows, is
said to be very efficient, and certainly
worth trying. Before setting the fresh
milk, sour milk is mingled with it, hasten
ing the process of souring and preventing
the flavor which is said to be caused by
the milk souring slowly In many Irish
dairies, the whole milk is churned, as the
butter thus made is considered superior in
color and flavor to that made from churn-
ing cream. A mixture composed of three
and one-half pounds of bean meal, crushed
oats and bran, mixed with water, is given
daily, in many of the best dairies, to each
COW this increases the yield of milk and
| butter.

Yesterday.

We heard the thrll~h's five long notes of woe
Or loy-who learn the song may say,
We only listened when the sun was low:
Bun that was Yesterday.
We found some violets underneath the hedge.
We gather'd blue bells in the wild wood way
We pulfdthe king cups from the ruStling sedge
But that was Yesterday.
We watched the rivers further ripple leap
TO catch the suns last kiss, and grey
Soft mistS of evening up the valley creep:
But that was yesterday.
We sang together for the love and might
of God and spring, and then she lay
pom my breast, weary with delight
But that was yesterday.
Alone | wait and watch the sun go down.
Counting dumb hours that must stay.
Ere that supreme One comes with eros and
crown.

itself into something like a loving moth

always fed, always safe from roughness,
surrounded by things so beautiful she
scarcely dared to touch them; every want

Reducing Bones for Gardens.

Ii is not often that bones can be collect
ed on the farm in sufficient quantity for
field crops, but every man who has q
garden can make little excellent manure
by saving those within his reach. 1t is use
less to recommend converting them into
homemade superphosphate by using sui
phuric acid; the difficulty and trouble Of
procuring the acid away from cities and
the care and experience required to use 1t,
are sufficient objections There are, how
ever. TWO modes of reducing the bones,
which every gardener may easily adopt.
One is TO place them in thin layers in a fer
mentmg heap of manure, which, if they
are previously broken will soften them
enough TO cause crumbling after the lapse
of weeks, when the heap is worked over
Even common hot-bed will do. if the
bones are first broken into fragments The
other mode is to boil them as follows:
Mix them in a large kettle with wood
ashes and to make the ashes cauStic, add
about peck of fresh lime to each barrel
of bones SatTate and cover the ashes
we'll with water, and then apply heat, for
say tWenty-four hours, or during the dav
for two successive days. All the bones by
this time, except the very hardest parts,
will be 50 reduced as TO be easily pulver-
ized, being in a pasty condition, suitable
tor placing IN layers in making the com
post heap. Another days boiling viii re-
duce the remainder of the hard bones
