Eggs in Winter.

A correspondent Of the Mas
sachuSettS Plo,tghmaa, who has
been very successful in the poul-
try line, writes in the middle of
January:
az depend on sound wheat for
eggs in winter; something better
thar wheat screenings. Igive as
much wheat and shorts, with a
little cayenne pepper mixed hot,
the first thing in the winter NOR
ming, as will be eaten at the time.
Then a good supply of wheat,
scattered in chaff or old hay, to
be scratched out during the day.
And, if the weather is cold, corn
is given at night. At any other
time, it is bad feed, from lack of
nitrogen and albumen, if eggs are
wanted.
MY flock of twenty-five white
Leghorn pullets, began to lay the
latter part of Nov. and during the
past seven days, they have laid
one hundred and seven eggs,or an
average of Is 27 per day, in mid
winter, with the thermometer va
rying from two to fifty degrees. -
The highest number laid in one
day being nineteen and the lowest
fourteen eggs"

Apples.

Apples are considered more MI.
tritious than potatoes - indeed,
many go so far as to Relieve that
they contain more brain food than
any other fruit or vegetable. =
However this may be, they GER
tainly exert a healthful influence
upon the whole system when eat
en- raw OK cooked in the most sim
pie manner. When compounded
with butter, eggs and -four they
are far less wholesome than when
baked or steamed. Apples nicely
baked and served with cream are
delicious dish, and an ingenious
housewife can easily devise numer.
GUS ways of preparing them for
the table. Many methods have
been suggested for keeping apples
in good condition through the
winter. One is to wrap each ap-
pie las oranges and lemons are
wrapped for Importation in paper
old newspapers will answer. Pa
per is not only very impervious
to air, but serves to keep the fruit
at q uniform temperature. An
other method Of preserving apples
is to put some dry, fine sand into
each barrel and shake it down
very gently. Powdered plaster is
sometimes used instead of sand
Another way is to pit the apples
in a dry sandy soil. A hole three
or four feet deep should be dug,
the fruit pat in upon dry straw
and covered with a layer OF straw
and dry earth. The earth should
be raised above the general level
of the ground, so as to shed rain
When thus protected, the apples
are said to keep until spring.
