In our last issue we republished from
an agricultural journal an article on feed
for hens. We would like to say here that
II Is the duty Of journals 10 publish all
such information however pertinent IL may
or may not be. That's the reason we
printed the piece in question. We don't
know whether the writer knew what he
was about when he brought forth the arti-
Gle, and we don't care. There was no
choice with us. We submissiyely appro.
priated II just as we do all those matters
which pertain 10 the house and farm de.
partmcnt But what we started ont TO do
was TO protest against recipes for making
hens lay more eggs than nature designed
they should. Not day passes but some.
body comes forward with a system or diet
which he has tested TO his entire satisiac.
ton, and which is adapted to every breed
and temper of hen In existence. One
man gives his fowls oats alone. and finds
that they lay fourth more eggs than they
did when he fed them exclusively on corn.
This statement fires up somebody to ex-
plain that he didn't know what laying
hen really was until he got 10 feeding his
flock corn alone. Heretofore he had dosed
them with oats. Here's a decided fix, APP
parenily; but the next week the owner of
u couple OF hens In Kalamazoo modesily
states in a card that years CT careful ex.
perimenting has demonstrated beyond all
cayil that oats and corn equally mixed
will fire up the ambition of any hen on
the face of the earth SO they 80 on in
the matter of food. Then there Is the
man who advises lime and oyster
shells % prevent the hens from LAYING
soit-shelled eggs. AS hen lays about
two such eggs In the course OF year,
couple dollars worth of lime iudiciously
fed to her will prevent the loss and be
money well expended. Then there IL the
man who advocates better ventilation.
Hens are mighty sore on the subject Of
ventilation, ms you may have noticed.
Another recommends an alright roosting-
place, and still another advises shutting
up the fowls all the time, and is iinmcdi-
ately confronted by poulterer who says
that II they are not allowed 10 run loose
you can't get eggs out OF them any way.
These things are what give agricultural
Journals their wonderful variety. But we
protest against them. III any one under
stands hens business better than the hen
itself we are prepared 10 listen to him,
but until such phenomenon appears we
unqualhedly refuse topublish hen recipes.
A hens stomach is an appalling mystery.
Men who can translate the elegies of the

Although. as far as our knowledge
extends, there has been no general
movement. at least on the Pacific coast,
toward adopting the suggestion made
by Congress and proclaimed by the
President, that each county have a
history prepared and read on the next
Fourth Of July, coPies OF which are to
be forwarded to the Congressional Lii
brarian for future reference, the idea is
nevertheless a good n and IN which
wa would very much like to see gen.
orally adopted, and we agree with the
Grass Valley Union that local facts on
the occasion of such celebration will
prove more interesting than the spread
eaglsi~ms with which the great day
has been always heretofore treated.
The faats collected would certainly
be more useful than the evanescent
elequence, however good such elo-
quence may be, of our Fourth of July
orators. We would like to amend the
suggestion made by Congress, in this
way: Let this Centennial Fourth of
July see the histories of localities
written up and forwarded to the Libra
rian, and every Fourth Of July here
aftera let each locality make out its
yearly history and send it forward.
These yearly histories written after the
next Fourth Of July should be brief
to he useful; the history to be written
this year should be as full as can be
preparsk /.
We suggest that Eureka have a
historian ut the coming celebration, or
that the orator be invested with that
additional title.

about two inches in length, and are
