HOW TO OBTAIN EGGS.

Do not be all the time dosing and
doctoring your fowls. Let nature
have a chance to act on her own
account. When fowls have a fresh
tender grass run, they require no
other vegetable food. Give scraps
from the table, but give them as
they are, with no extra seasoning.
Pound clam and oyster shells, until
they are in chunks little larger
than a kernel of corn, and keep them
constantly supplied with this. very
necessary article at all seasons OF
the year. Let them have places
of loose fresh earth to scratch and
wallow in.

They are the SMALLEST feeders and

Good, sweet, fresh grass is the one
thing needful for fowls, and supplies
their digestive organs with all
the lime or iron they stand in need
of.
When fowls are healthy and have
clean grass runs, they will not eat
grain or meal in the morning, buI

SELL A PRODUCT WHEN IN PRIME
CONDITION.

Take butter, for example.
Hundreds of tubs are received that
were doubtless of excellent quality
when made, have all the indications
of having been carefully made and
packed, Of beautiful color and texture
and yet when opened the product
stinks like refuse grease barrel.
Why? Because it has been kept
in the farmers cellar too long, wait
ing a '.rise." In the first place,
though nicely packed, it was not
packed in package that would
exclude the air, perhaps laden with
foul odors which tainted it; hence it
quickly began TO deteriorate.
Butter that is to be stored in this
manner must be put in air tight
packages, or it will rapidly deterior-
ate in quality and finally spoil, no
matter how excellent it may have
been when first packed. What is
the result? It comes on the market
to compete with prime article and
the producer gets far less for it than
he may heve been offered for it at
home when ii was IN prime condition,
besides losing the use of the money
he would have got for it.
Sc Of other products. The loss
from holding apples is frequently
great, from decay and other causes.
Ready money, and the reputation
the producer gets in the market
from a prime article, are rarely
counterbaIanced by any increase in
price be obtains by holding perish
able products. The time to sell is
when one can obtain a paying price
aud maintain a reputation for produc-
ing and selling first-class goods.
The loss Of reputation from putting
on the market inferior products, or
even superior products in awkward
and untldy packages, Is not SO
thoroughly considered and regarded
as it ought to be by the producer.
Once establish good reputation
on the market, and sustain it by
sending uniformly drst class
products, put up in g frst-class
manner, and there will be little
difficulty in obtaining good prices,
no matter what the market rates for
the same class of products may be.
It should never be forgotten by the
producer that his reputation is
capital and if a good one, a very
productive capital. York
