THE FAR N.

HowTo MANAGE SITTING HENs.-A good
deal Of tho SUCCESS of the poultry crop depends
upon the management of the birds while sitting.
Hens that steal their nests and follow their own
instincts do very well if they are not disturbed,
but frequently they get frightened or robbed,
and the eggs are lost. AS rule, it is better to
have all the sitting birds completely under your
control, and make them follow your will rather
than their own instincts. With we'll arranged
poultry house it takes but little time daily to
have all the birds come of for food and exercise.
But without this We manage to make the sitters
regular in their habits We usually set the hens
close together in a sheltered sunny spot in boxes
or barrels, that we can cover, an thus perfectly
project Them against their enemies, and at the
same time compel them t. sit until the box is
uncovered. Wherever they may lay. when
they want to sit we remove them 10 the Matching
yard by night, and put them sec ursly upon
Lest full of eggs We usually take Asiatic
fowls for mothers, as they are very contenttd
upon the nest ind covers large plumber of eggs.
We have never failed to make them take kindly
to a new nest They also bear handling better
than most other varieties, and are very patient,
good. tempered mothers. Every day about II
o'clock we remove the covers, and carefully
take the hens from their nests for food and WA
ter. In pleasant weather they have from half
hour to Al hour to scratch in the dirt and take
their dust bath. Most of them return to their
nests voluntarily before the time liz up. Occs-
sionsly bird will take to the wrong nest. 1t
takes but few minutes to see every bird in her
place, and make her secure for the next twenty.
four hours. As the Matching time approaches,
we dip the eggs in tepid water every day to
keep the pores open, and to facilitate the hatch
ing. This moistening of the eggs we have found
of special service in the Matching of the eggs OF
water fowl set under hens. By this method we
have good success with sitting hens.--CJrres

Corn Pro. have had an sbund-
ance of rain for the present, aud sl the crops
are growing we'll. In two or three weeks, we
suppose, the wheat harvest will be in full blast
How it will yield it is impossible to say. We
notice some fields which look ss if they would
make twenty bushels to the acre; others, how.
ever, will not reach five, and some will hardly
pay for the cutting. On the whole, we are in
cined to think the crop in this vicinity consid-
erably better than it was last year. Culp. Oh.

A Card from MIR. w. N. Wise.
LEEsBURa, VA. June II, 1877

LEEsBURa, Va. June II, 1875.
I cannot reply to the editorial Of the "Wssh-
inptonian," of this town, through the press Of
the county, before the call of the contested
election case, in which am somewhat interested.
I merely wish now to state that in my humble
opinion, the editor of said paper is going little
beyond the province of newspaper: presume
that the Judge of our County Court has the indie
psndence 10 be governed by the law, and not by
tho opinion of any one man or majority OF the
population of town or county; | am certain
that Capt Lynch entirely mistakes my intention
and wishes All that DESIRE is that the re-
turns of the late election as to myself and my
successful opponent be opened and if upon
legal count of the ballots it appears that my OPP.
ponent has been elected, shall rest content If,
upon the other hand it shall appear that ma:
jority of the legal votes cast were for me- then
demand, as the merest justice, certificate of
election. Now does Capt. L., or airy other citl-
zen, object to this !? What has the fact that no
Leesburg voter signed the complaint TO do with
it? What has politics to do with it2 We do
not hear the people Of your town making
election of Lucas. If the mind of Court of
Justice is to be influenced, and the judgment of
the Court made up before the calling of II case,
or if perchance, the Judge Of Court sees IL
proper and legal decision the possible disrup-
ton of party, or that if his judgment is given
in certain way and in favor ola certain party,
(sthough it may be the right it will cause one
section of community to be disposed to consure
another section if these and other influences be
broughtto bear just upon tho eve Of tho trial of
= case, and have tie effect to bias said Judge in
rendering legal judgment, our Courts had best
be closed, and the ends of justice sought in some
other way, as they will seldom be gained un der
the above state OF things. 1t will not be long
before any investigation of alleged frauds will
be denounced in the public prints, upon the
plea that the feI retting out of the truth can do
no good, as the act is committed and no good can
possibly come Of stirring up fuss about it,
Therefore dismiss the case" l do not desire
the people to be put to the expense of another
election. am satisfied that the vote received
WAS an honest one, and no one could be more
grateful for the cordial support received. l
believe no one desired my election more than
did Capt. Lynch, as he manifested his interest
by his warn, support of my nomination, and by
his manly and independent defence of my pc.
stion against the attacks of the boiling wing Of
the Conservative party, but IN this instance he
is, think, wrong, and would not have put in
print the article il question upon sober second
thought it is slur upon me and upon those
who are of the same way of thinking with my
sell. Nothing but firm conviction of the JUS
tics and proprlety Of my course deterlnns me
N othing short of these consd eratlons would
have Undue cd me to write this card. Respectfully,
WIZ. N. WISE

HOME MADE FERTILIZERS We learn from
the agricultural report for 1878 that MIR. Au-
gustus Whitman, of Fitchburg, Massachusetts,
in 1872 prepared four acres of old pasture land
for coru, applying three cords of barn litter
manure per acre, and putting in each hill a
handful of compound Of finely ground bone
and wood ashes mixed according to the receipt
of DR.. j. r. Nichols. the we'll Known chemist,
namely: To one barrel of pure bone add two
barrels of wood ashes. Mix Oh floor with a
hoe, adding about four buckets of water from
time to time. While mixing add half bushel
of plaster. mixing we'll to prevent loss of free
ammonia. Let the mixture lie one week be-
fore using. Mr.. Whitman obtained one bun.
dred bushels of shelled corn per acre. This
was the measurement after drying the products
in warm room till the Oath of January, 1878,
and then weighing carefully.
