A LARGE DRAINING SCHEME.--Lake
Okeechobee is about forty-tiYe miles
long and twenty-five miles wide. This
does not include marsh lands
surrounding it. which must
be OF still larger dimensions.
The water OF the lake is very shallow,
seldom over seven feet, and in very few
places ten feet deep, and i'll most parts
boats can not approach within two or
three miles OF the shore on account of the
shallowness. No fish live in the lake
not even an alligator can be founa-as
the water is stagnant and very fensiVe
TO the smell. There is nothing TO pre-
vent the draining of this lake into the
CaloOsahatchle River. A canal about
eight miles long wall accomplish it, the
river having sufficient fall to allow OF
its being done. AT present the outlet
from the lake to the river is closed up
by saw-grass and lily-pads, throwing
the waters of the lake, in the rainy sea
son, into the Everglades. What grand
speculation there could be made by
draining the lake and cutting the land
into forty-acre farmsl For several
wears it would give the most splendid
rice crops ever seen, and then comes III
sucar-cane, which would almost rattoon
forever. We have never heard OF any
country possessing such grand belt o
cane land that could be SO easily
turned to adyantags.- Florida Agricult

The hired girl came in with the dinner,
and wanted TO know how he liked Lans-

MAKING THE HENS LAY.

BEL, the Illinois correspondent OF
the Country Gentleman, writes that
paper as follows: The !steady cold
weather since the middle OF November,
and some tasks to be begun and finished,
have kept me so constantly at home
that have been able to give an hour
or two every day to observing the ef-
fects OF some kind Of lood for the pro-
duction of eggs, l had heard 1t re-
peatedly said that for producing eggs,
for stimulating the appetite OF horses,
swine and cattle, sof their feed,' ana
for other unmentioned purposes, there
was nothing like daily ration Of
parched corn. Having been 80 much OF
the time absent during october and
November, my fowls had had little else
but corn; and the time having come
for winter-laying, and they not re-
spending, about the first of December
began giving a daily ration OF baked
corn, and with the happiest results; for
call those results happy ones when
hens will lay with the mercury at zero,
and one can have fresh eggs to eat and
to sell, when eggs are forty cents per
dozen, as they are at the present time.
1t is very important fact to be able
to state thatn bread crusts are moie
soluble in water than crumbs; and a
more important one to be able to affirm
that the nitrogen in the crust is much
more soluble than the nitrogen in the
soft or crumb. This fact proves that
