Hens Eating Eggs-A Cure.

A correspondent of the Poultry Bulletin
says
Having seen the question asked how to
cure hens from eating eggs, and having
been put to my wits end to devise some
means to stop them, finally, by accident,
hit upon plan that l have never known
to fail. One great trouble with many
breeders is, they make their hens nest too
large, and with Brahmas and Cochins the
nests are near the ground, and in many
cases the eggs are in view of the hen.
This was the case with my nests. Having
tried every available stuff, such as pep
per, mustard, turpentine, and everything
| could hear of, but no cure, l then took
common nail-keg, cut ii in two, or Il piece
about eight inches high, and placed it in
the box where the hens laid. / then put
in an egg; the old hen mounted the nest
or keg and tried to reach the egg, standing
on the edge of the keg, but it was no go !;
she then got down in the keg, but that
was a failure, for she did not have room
to get at the egg; after trying for some
time she gave it up as a bad job. l have
never have had an egg eaten by the hens
since them all of the nests in my coops
have piece of keg in the box, and have
parts of kegs for nests. Do net make
them too deep, but deep enough so that
the hen cannot reach the bottom when
standing on the edge of the keg. You
that are troubled with hens eating their
eggs, try the plan; it costs but little, and
think you will never regret the trouble
it will be to outwit the old hen.

SeasOnable Hints.

As THE planting season arrives IL is as
we'll to repeat what we have often re-
marked, that the relative advantages of
spring and fall planting are about evenly
balanced. Failures follow all seasons.
Hon 10 plant is of far more importance
than pheR to plant and the selection of
stock to plant, of far mole importance
tlIan the time when IL is done. A tree
that has been once or twice before trans
planted, and again carefully and intelli-
gently taken up, may be successfully re-
moved at either planting season with the
odds of perhaps 100 to five in its favor.
But tree never before transplanted-such,
in fact, as a tree from the woods, or left
standing in the nursery from the seed. bed
is very risky at any time, and depends
rather on the weather following trans
planting for the first few weeks for any
probability OF success. In selecting trees
for planting, then, be very particular to
ascertain that they have an abundance of
fibrous roots, and are carefully removed.
In this region we would plant evergreens
at once, after or in prospect of the first
good rain. Deciduous trees we would
plant just before the final fall of the leaf,
shortening off the ends of those shoots
that were not quite mature. After the 10Th
of October we would not plant evergreens,
nor deciduous trees after the 1st of Novem-
Der. Early ornot at all should be the motto.
Tree seeds should be either sown or pre-
pared for sowing in the fall. Hard shell
seeds require time to soften their coats, or
they will lie over year in the ground. 1t
used to be popular TO mix with boxes of
sand; but unless there be very few seeds
to very large quantity of sand. the heat
given out, though perhaps imperceptible
to us, is sufficient to generate fungus
which will destroy the seed. II is much
better to soak the seeds in water and then
dry just enough to keep from molding,
and as cool as possible all winter. This
is much safer plan than sand. In States
where frosts are severe, seedlings of all
kinds that have not attained greater
height than six inches, should be taken
up, laid in" in a sheltered place thickly,
and covered with anything that will keep
frozen through the winter. If left out
they are liable to be drawn out and
destroyed. Young Seeding stock re-
ceived from distance, should also be so
treated. In the more southern States they
may be set out at once, and as much plant
ing rs possible be accomplished that will
save spring work Many cuttings will not
do well unless taken off at this season and
laid in the ground under protection, like
seedlings-the ounce, syringas, or lilacs,
spir@a prunifolia, and some others. In the
"mild-winter States" evergreen cuttings
should be made now and set out thickly
in rows. The leaves need not be taken
of, but short thick-set branches laid in
under the soil. When rooted next fall
they may be taken up and divided into
separate plants. In more northern States,
evergreens may not be so struck at this
season, unless protected by greenhouses
and frames. Where these are at hand,
evergreens may be put in, in boxes or
pans, all through the winter.-Gardener's

The First schOOlmaster in New York.

Adam Roelandsen enjoyed the distinc-
tion of being the first schoolmaster in the
metropolis. From some cause possibly
because "people did not speak we'll of
him, he could not make a living at his
vocation and so took in washing. But he
did not succeed in his laundry enterprise
either. There is a curious lawsuit on
record which shows how he demand
ed payment of Gillis De Voocht for
washing his linen. The defendant made
no objection to the price charged, but re-
fused to pay until the end of the year.
The Court decided that Roelandsen should
continue to wash for De Voocht the re-
mainder of the year and then collect his
money. Meanwhile the schoolmaster built
himself house thirty feet long, eighteen
feet wide and eight high, which was
rooted with reeden thatch, had an entry
three feet wide, two doors, a pantry, a
staircase, a mantelpiece and a bedstead.
This latter was built into the wall, like
cupboard in partition, with doors clos
ing upon it when unoccupied 1t was q
great economy in the matter of room. A
sleeping apartment in one of the small
Dutch taverns of that date often accom-
mOdated several travellers at night while
during the day it was only an ordinary
public room, quite unincumbered in ap.
pearance. But Schoolmaster ROelandsen
was unable to compensate the builder;
and he finally committed grave otfense,
for which he was chastised at the whip
ping post upon the waters edge and ban
ished from the Dutch dominions.-Chgis-

Mixed Diet.

The results of both experience and
science go TO prove that health and vigor
are better maintained by judiciOus use
Of mixed diet.
Animal food is the most nutritious and,
used with discretion, causes a more com.
plete development of the body to take
place and consequently increases the
energies of different functions 1t has the
effect of increasing the amount of fibrine
with blood and favOring the growth of the
muscular system; but vegetables, though
they convey less nutriment to the blood,
perform most essential service, as they
help to dissolve the albuminous substances
of the meat-Tender the blood lighter by
keeping the albumen and fibrine contained
in the blood in liquid state. This is
why vegetables and fruits are preferred in
hot climates and why we should eat freely
of them during summer
1t is found upon very wide observation
that the people who partake of both ami
NAL and vegetable food in due proportion
are those in whom the functions of nutri-
ton are most perfectly performed. Every
organ or tissue of their bodies is found to
be in the most perfect state in which it can
exist.
Vegetables are essential in assisting the
process of digestion. In cabbage, aspara-
gus, lettuce, cabbage sprouts, potash con.
siderably predominates; in spinach, soda
and potash are nearly equal while in
rhubarb a considerable amount of lime is
contained. Cabbage sprouts are remark
able for their amount of lime and mag
nesia; and in the stalks and leaves of let
tuce, in asparagus and cauliflower, traces
of manganese, a metal very similar to iron,
have been found.
An English writer says " that many
persons entertain very different opinions
respecting the variety of the simplicity
that should be observed in our eating.
Some consider that the human race has
degenerated and that diseases have be-
come more numerous and fatal SINCE the
variety of our food has been so much in
creased. Certain authors state in their
writings that the ancient Greeks and Ro-
mans were mainly indebted for their
superiority over their contemporaries to
their frugal manner of living and to the
little variety of diet they enjoyed; for they
had neither brandy, liquors, tea, coffee,
chocolate, sugar, butter, nor any of the
numerous articles of food used at present
in Europe, which have been introduced
or are imported from Asia and America"

salmon in Fresh Water.

The question as to the ability of the
salmon TO remain permanently in fresh
water received an important illustration last
winter. 1t is well known that the lakes
of Maine along the coast contain a variety
of fish known as the land-locked salmon,
which, while possessing the external ap-
pearance and peculiar habits OF the
salmon, together with equal excellence of
flesh, is much smaller, and remains per
manently in the lakes; and it is still a
vexed question whether this is actually a
descendent of the true sea salmon or adifler-
ent species. An argument in favor of its
being the former is afforded by the fact
that in two localities young salmon,
hatched from eggs Of the true sea salmon
collected at Buckport, have lived in fresh
water ponds and yielded ripe eggs during
the past autumn; in the one case at New
Hope, Pa, the fish attaining several
pounds in weight while some bred in
Wisconsin were only five to seven inches
In length, though perfectly mature in
every respect In the first case, however,
the ponds were quite large and offered
ample space for the movements of the fish,
while in the other they were confined to
small trout ponds of only few yards in
extent Whether the eggs thus obtained
will produce healthy young and whether
these will attain maturity are questions Of
much iDterest.-N. Y. Graphic.

Edible birds nests are found for the
most part in the Southern Archipelago.
The chief region of supply is that COM
prising Java, Borneo, Celebes and the
Sulu Islands The birds which produces
the nests is little swallow, Hirundo Es-
culenta. This salangan swallow, as it is
called, is slightly bigger than blue-tit;
it has brown back; but the under sur
face Of its body, as also the extremities Of
the feathers in its forked tail, are white.
1t flies with wonderful speed and precis-
ion; and on the Javan coast, where the
surge breaks wildly against the precipitous
and governed walls of rock, the little birds
may be seen in swarms darting hither and
thther through the spray. They proba-
bly, feed on fragments of mollusks and
other small animals which abound on
those coasts. AS you watch the surface
of the water rising and falling, you notice
how the holes in the rocks are now con-
cealed, now open again, and the little
creatures, watching their opportunity,
dart in and out with lightning speed.
Their nests are fixed to the arched roof
of these caverns.
What sort of thing, then, is the edible
birds nest thatministers to the taste Of the
luxurious Chinese? 1t is that portion of
the fabric which serves as a sort of brack-
ct on which the nest itself (made of grass,
sca-weed ibers, small leaves, ETC., is
built. There are two forms of this sup
port, one fiat like an oyster-shell, the other
deep and spoon.shaped. 1t is transparent
mass, somewhat like isinglass, mother of
pearl, or white horn, and is of animal ori.
gin. 1t was formerly supposed that this
gelatine-like mass might be prepared in
the birds crop, from sea-weed and other
marine plants. This, however, is mis-
take. If one opens the animals stomach
about the time of building, it is found to
contain insects, but no vegetable matter I;
moreover, in all species Of the family of
swifts the crop is wanting. DR.. Bernstein
has found that at that season the salivary
glands under the tongue are enormously
developed On opening the bill they are
seen as two large swellings, one on either
side, and these chiefly supply the material
in question. They secrete a viscid mucus
substance, like concentrated solution of
gum-arabic, which can be drawn out of
the mouth in long threads; and In the ar
it soon dries, and is found to be the same
(evcn micrOscOpically) as the bracket ma
terial.--Chdmbers' Journal.

1T is not the amount of land that
makes the farm rich, but the amount we'll
improved. A few acres titled to its ut
most extent of production, will yield much
more of profit than the large farm badly
managed and titled, The worst phase Of
farming is the greediness of men for land.
A new conner will put his last dollar in
land, and go in debt for his house apd

of hundred he will, after striving hard

satisfaction in saying that in the whole
course of his life he has done nothing
which he now regrets, and said nothing

the following sentiments, uttered by him
in 1858; Lincoln has shed enough blood
70 float the Great Eastern, and how much
nearer the end does he get' His cry is
still for blood. The administration stands
on tip-toe every day, with its eyes dis
