Wheat and Other Grain for Hens.

Wheat, wheat middlings, oats, barley,
Indian corn and buckwheat are good arti-
Giles of food for hens if they are used al
tcrnately If Indian corn were to com.
pose the whole diet of hens they would be
rendered too fat for laying purposes; but
as regular diet it is valuable About
three times per week the hens will need
some bits of meat, to furnish more album.
dainty the albuminous element of the egg.
Burned oyster shells pounded, old mortar,
bone meal or something similar should be
kept by them at all times as material for
shells. There should also be a constant
supply of fresh, clean water Hens should
never be permitted to eat snow Snow
water is highly injurious TO IT, an. Many
persons feed nleir hens all tney will eat,
and keep grain by them all the time.
This is a bad practice. More hens are in
iured by overfeedibg than in any other
way. II IA man eats all that he can he be-
comes to some extent incapacitated for ex-
ertion, and if he continues the practice his
system will become deranged So the
hen, when overfed, becomes too fat and is
good for nothing but to be marketed A
simple rule in feeding hens is to give them
as much as they will eat eagerly, but no
more. AS soon as they cease to eat
with avidity and Will not run
for the food ii should be removed
Fowls should be fed in this way three
times day-viz morning, noon and
night. The mornings meal should con-
sist of soft food of some kind, for during
the night the crop and stomach should
become empty. If whole grain is fed the
fowl is obliged to grind it before she gets
any nourishmeht, and delay in the morn
ing Is injurious; therefore, it is best TO
have scalded meal and bran with mashed
potatoes prepared. AT noon a dinner of
meal or grain may be given. At night
grain should be fed, SO that the hens will
have something substantial in their crops
to last them through the night. In win
ter Indian corn is good to feed at night; in
summer, oats, wheat or barley may be
used. Wheat middlings are an excellent
summer food, because of the flesh form
ing elements contained in them-the req
uisites for producing eggs. Soft food
should be mixed rather dry, so that when
thrown upon the ground it will fall in
pieces. When soft it sticks to the beaks,
TO the annoyance of the fowls, and it is also
liable to derange their digestion Fowls
require also daily supply Of green or
fresh vegetables, both summer and win
ter. Chopped turnips, cabbages or apples
are suitable for winter. In summer, ac-
cess to green grass is the best means OF
gratifying their wants In order to be
successful in keeping fowls their wants
should be attended to with the same care
and regularity that is bestowed upon
other animals the increase in the number
OF eggs will then be perceptible.-Cw N.

easily; where he lost at the corners he made
up in the straight. This style he kept up
until the sixth mile, when his stride be-
gan to falter, not being ridden so well as
on the last occasion, combined with the
effect OF the extra weight he was carry
ing. Stanton from this point gradually
went ahead, and in the next mile he had
gained fifty yards. The horse was now
beaten, and after going another lap was
pulled up at eight miles. Stanton went
on and finished the distance, ten miles
less 164 yards, in thirty four minutes and
thirty-fOur seconds, being at an average
velocity of nearly eighteen miles an hour.
He rode fifty Gig htinch machine, weigh
ing forty pounds. He seemed to have a

And all that nobOdy'a done,
For I've passion for nobody
That nobody else would own:
bear the name Of somebody,
For from eOmeb body sprung;
But sing the praise Of nobody,
And nobody mine has sung.
In LIES young morning somebody
To me WAS tender and dear,
And my cradle was rocked by somebody,
And somebody was ever near:
Now I'm pctted and praised BY nobody,
And nobody helps me up:
And when I'm hungry, nobody
Gives me 70 dine or 10 sup.
get my lea ming from nobody,
Aud nobody tells me 10 read;
go In the streets with nobody.
And nobody gives me heed;
recount my troubles TO nobody,
For nobody Is willing to hear;
And my heart does cling TO nobody,
And nobody sheds n tear.
2 And AZ grow old, nobody
Gives me helping turn;
And by the good aid Of nobody,
MY living I'm trying to earn:
And hence I've courtcd nobody,
But said, somebody I'll be-
And ask'd 10 marry nobody. $50 f&Fss
And nobody married me.
Thus trudge along with nobody,

And I've love for nobody.

A Funny New York Court
ship

A savings bank cashier OF New
York city is now a happy hus-
band. Only few months ago he
was the engaged of a fascinating
widow This present wife), who is
we'll known in literary circles, and
an attendant Of the Sorosis re-
unions. During the engagement
an event occurred which made it
necessary for the widow to change
the investment of some of her
funds. Mutually, she sought the
advice of. her intended husband.
He has always had a horror of
seeming to marry a woman for
money, and frankly said TO her on
this occasion, that, as they were
shortly to be married and he had
sufficient property for both, she
had better expend her funds in
any way that might please her.
She disclaimed any desire to do so,
and told him that the money had
been left to her by her first hus-
band, and she did not care to ex-
pend it foolishly. AT last a happy
thought occurred to the cashier,
and he mentioned Tito the widow.
AS the money came frem her first
husband, why not expend it in
erecting a handsome monument
to his memory? She eagerly
adopted the suggestion, aud to-
gether they began the plan how it
should be done. The next day
several marble workers were re-
quested to send in designs for a
monument. The cashier actually
wrote the epitaph, praising the
virtues of the deceased, and it is
now almost finished in marble
workers shop on Thirty-second
street. The intention was to have
the monument completed before
the marriage, but unforeseen delays
prevented. The cashier has taken
entire charge of the work, and
doubtless the wife loves him all
the more for his disinterestedness.
