Physiology of Eggs.

Every fowl has two small organs near the
extremity OF the body called the oyaria. It
is filled with elastic tissue, and feels under the
finger like sponge. The eggs are started
here, and those which will mature a year, OF
two, or three years hence, are in embryo.
One IS forced up, is seized by the stroma,
which is seventeen inches long, and passed
rapidly through. When the egg leaves the
oyary it consists of yolk only, but in lis pas.
sage through that short canal, the yolk is
surrounded by enough albumen to perfect the
chick. The white of the egg has in it all
that nature requires for making bones, mus
cles, blood-vessels, connecting tissue, skin,
and feathers. just before the egg leaves the
body, this canal-has the power of secreting
lime for the shell. This shows how valuable
the esg is as a nutriment, and also what de-
mands are made for rich food by hen that
lays an egg daily. Besides what she requires
for her sustenance, she is called upon to Sc
cTet the material for the body of an entire
chick, and also retains for the little crea.
ture sufficient to last many hours after
IL leaves the shell. 1t shows also that
nen cannot make albumen SO
rapldIy, except out of albuminous food, such
as wheat, meat, and small animals 1t is
not True tnal tnere Is certain number of
eggs, and mat, tins number exhausted, no
more can be expected; bat il is trne that
the secretions lessen as old ace comes on
and latterly the hen fails to have sufficient
force to carry forward the process. The
practical bearing CT this is that we must see
that the fowl is always well kept. The wav
to have good laying pullels is to quicken the
circulation and strengthen the systems by
liberal nutIiment. The yolI is food for the
first three or four days. Careful housewives
make mistake by attempting to feed them
before the expiration OF that time. Let the
