THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Superiority of French Fowls as Egg pro-
ducers.
An impression prevails in some quarters
that by dipping hen in pail of water and
then chasing her round the ponltry-yard
with stick she will be induced on emergen-
cies to lay two eggs a day. Cons1l Hotham,
on the other hand, in his commercial report
on Calais for last year, lately printed, ex.
presses his opinion that the whole secret of
the liberality or egg laying displayed by French
hens lies in the quality of the soil of those
districts in which hens are renowned for
their laying qualities. Attempts have, he
says, been not unfrequently made to intro.
duce French poultry into England uuder the
impression that with proper care and man
agement these fowls may become fair source
Of proft-so far, at least, as eggs are con-
cerned. The French hen, however, removed
from her native land, does not, as rule be-
have herself with that productive aacrity
which distinguishes her in many, though not
all, parts of France. This is accounted for
by the fact that in the neghborhood of
Calais, as well as near Boulogne, there ex-
lists marked quantity of silex in the soil,
highly favorable for egg-laying purposes, and
when the fowls are removed from this par
ticular soil there is marked dminution in
their laying propensities. At Amiens, again,
this same quality OF soil is found, and the
poultry from that district are remarkable for
their laying qualities; they are, indeed, the
most celebrated layers in France. II, there
fore, the same breed lay better in one part of
France than another, as, for instance, the
fowls in the neighborhood of Calais. it is not
unreasonable to suppose that the change OF
soil is the principal cause of attempts having
hitherto failed to transplant French poultry
into England, for commercial purposes.
Otherwise, as Consul Hotham points out, it
surely would be worth while in this country
to turn our attention seriously to the subject
instead of importing hundreds of millions of
eggs yearly from France. The reason some.
times given Of our climate not being suitable
for poultry is more fanciful than real, for
there are districts in the south of England
which, without a doubt, might compare fa-
vorably with the north coast Of France, and
as to the expense of keeping poultry, the
French egg dealers hardly feed them at all,
but let the fowls run about and pick up what
they please in the fields and hedgerows. The
difference in the quality of the soil might
possibly, Consul Hotham suggests, be made
up to the French fowls in England by arti
fetal means.-Pau Mall Gazette.

THE DIFFERENcE-The Boston and Phila-
delphia papers have been indulging in a little
friendly controversy regarding the merits of
Ben Franklin financier 1t seems that
Franklin left FL 900 to the city of Boston and
the same sum to the city of Philadelphia, to
be loaned to married mechanics in snail sums,
to assist them in starting business, and the in
terest to be compounded from year to year for
hundred years. According to his calculation
each legacy would amount to f131 600 in
hundred years, re the expiration of which he
desired that the money should be appropriated
to certain public improvements in the respec-
tive cities. Philadelphia's +" talent has only
increased, at the end of sc years, to SAG, ,135,
and the Bulletin concludes from this that
Franklin was no business king" and that he
had very poor understanding of what money
can do and what it cannot do. But the Bos-
ton advertiser says it was not Frankln's fault,
but the management of the Philadelphia stew
ards that the sum is not nearer the rhiloso-
piers calculations to-day. In Boston the
legacy amounted, Jan. L, 1874, to $1S2.27S,
nearly four times as much as the Philadelphia
fund. During the next fourteen years, if the
money is compounded at six per cent, the
sum will reach $i0S, 300. We shall certainly
leave our money to Boston.

1t is hard work. says the Chicago Tribune, TO
get ahead of determined Western man on a
matter in which principle and pennies are in
volved together; especially difficult for the
railroads to fight the masses. The great bore
nowadays is legal fare. Passengers were in the
habit of getting aboard trains and paying
illegal fare" To prevent this, the Chicago
Burlington aud Quincy Railroad devised q
means of forcing passengers to pay full fare.
1t was to make them show tickets before get
ting aboard. At Burlington, the other day,
passenger bought a ticket and took his seat.
He then passed the ticket out of the window
to friend, who also took his seat, repeating
the operation until the car. was filled up.
When the conductor came round there was
but one ticket, and legal fares enough to keep
the Supreme Court in continuous session for
century But the value the Burlington busi-
ness men set upon time is not revealed to us
