Reign of Low Prices.

Though business is reviving, prices
continue to gravitate down. Fruits
have been lower than they have ranged
for years. Fine melons that never
brought less than so and rs cents have
been sold in great quantities at prices
ranging from Is to rs cents. Peaches,
cheap at rs cents by the basket, have
been a drug at 80 cents,
clearinghouse people complain that
while there is a rush for board prices are
disastrously low. Writers who would
scorn less than $40 a week thankfully
take IS. One of the largest establish
ments advertised for a bookkeeper hours
from seven to six pay SO a week. In
one day over six pounds of applications
were received. Houses that have read
lily rented for $1,000 can be had for $500
Good board that has not since the war
been less than $40 a week can be obtained
for Sc. Dinner at a first-class hotel can
be had for forty cents, with three courses,
including luxuries. Around the post
office a number of restaurants have been
opened on a cheap bill of fare, with a very
fair table. Roast beet with ixings, fifteen
cents; beef steak, ten cents and drink
able coffee, five cents a cup. OF course a
square meal is not furnished at these
places, but a very acceptable lunch.
Wages in every direction have been
reduced and people have their choice of
taking the low price or remain out of
work. Only one thing has not come
down. The wages of German, Welsh
and Swedish Protestant help keeps at the
old standard, and is in constant demand
at SIS to $50 a month.-NetG York Letter.

Profit of Fowls

In the estimation OF some fancy breed
ers, which is not a proper standard, a
good layer is said to produce 200 eggs a
year. Some, and in rare instances, may
produce that amount others, and a large
number of Others, too will not. AS a
general thing, we are fast becoming toe
eXacting of our hens. 1t is a good COW
that will pay for herself in a year, but
then we should consider the price paid
for her in the first place, also the price of
the commodity she produces. Eggs and
butter, as a general thing are linked to-
gether; so closely are they analogous or
allied that when one is mentioned the
thought naturally reverts to the other.
Some mems form and deposit more eggs
thSn others; some require a longer and
some a shorter period to do it in. The
correct way to estimate a flock of hens is
not by q single bird put on trial, when
one particular breed is required. There
is a difference in birds of the same breed
adherence in constitution and strength.
A strong, slowly maturing bird will not
commence laying at so early an age as
one of slender, delicate organization. As
the production of eggs is a great drain
upon the system, the later in life a pullet
commences to lay the longer she will
hold on, the greater will be the uniform
ity of her eggs, and the more regular will
she be in depositing them. A good hen
on good feed will produce on an average
from 100 to $50 eggs a year. This, per
haps. some might term a slow average
but to do even that, the fowls require
close attention and good feed.
Corn is not the best feed for egg pro
duction. Buckwheat or ever wheat in
termixed with oats is much better; still
some corn must be allowed. Animal
food is actually necessary, and egg bust.
ness thrives well when jointly associated
with the dairy. Sour milk is one of the
very best articles of diet through the
heated season. Not more than twenty
five hens should be kept in one place to
do well. Convenient places for them to
deposit their eggs should be supplied,
otherwise many are DESTROYED by many
cengregating in one nest. When broken
the fowls soon consume them, and are apt
to the business when once they learn it.
With 500 Houdans, allowing 100 eggs to
a hen, we have the handsome sum OF
vV,VV' eggs, vi t,loo uOzenj aU ~ Cenus
per dozen we have the amount of 1898
This is the gross. Out of this must com
the time, attention and feed, expense OF
rearing chickens, and buildings. Est
mating corn at 20 cents per busheI
(which in the writer's vicinity is the
lowest fgure), and a bushel per head fol
the year, we have $3.50 to deduct. Il
buckwheat be used, LEES corn is required
for the year, but a bushel of any grain i,
a fair estimate. Vegetable and ANNA
food of course they require in addition
