EGGs--HOW INCREASED,

If an increase Of eggs be desired in the
poultry yard, before large sums of money
are expended in the purchase Of everlasting
layers, we would recommend the system of
keeping no hens after the first, or, at the
most, their second year. Early pullets give
the increase, and the only wonder is that
people persist as they do in keeping up
stock of old hens which lay one day and stop
three, instead of laying three days and stop
ping one. In some parts of England it is
the inyariable rule to keep the pullets only
one year. Feeding will do great deal-a
surprising work, indeed-in the production
of eggs, but not when old hens are concern
ed !; they may put on fat, but they cannot
put down eggs. The tale is told, their work
| is over; nothing remains to be done with
them but to give them a smell of the kitchen
fire, and the sooner they get that the better
OF course there are some old favorites whose
lives ought to be spared as long as they can
send forth their representatives. Judicious
mating, by which we mean the advantage
of a comparatively youthful cockerel, may
be the means of even exhibition poultry
making their appearance from the eggs OF
the good old hen, and here we have the ex-
cepton to the rule upon which we insist

accommodate each a flock of fifty fowls,
fronting to the south, with large windows,
so placed that the fowls may enjoy as much
sunlight as possible. Have it perfectly tight
and dry, excepting means for ample ventil-
alton, without a possibility of direct draft
reaching the fowls at night after going to
roost. A fowl will take cold while asleep,
as easily as a person. Keep the roosting
apartment clean; sprinkle a little air-slaked
lime and dry ashes under the perch; have
the house thoroughly whitewashed inside
three or four times year. See that they
have free access to plenty of pure, fresh
water at all times; don't torce them to drink
the drainage from the barn yard; many
eases of cholera have been coused by this.
A few drops of sulphate of iron put III their
drinking vessels occasionally will be ben
eft. Sprinkle the perches with coal oil, and
scatter sulphur in their nests and dusting-
boxes.
Many fowls die from severe colds received
by roosting lin exposed places. Of course,
every fowl that dies, it is said, had the choI-
cry, when probably half of them were af-
fected in this way.

CARE OF POULTRY.

The care that poultry is entitled to, to
make it profitable, says an exchange, is not
near so much as one would think. 1t is just
like any other business-it needs daily at
tention, not one day in a month, but each
and every day. If you expect cow to be
profitable you attend to feeding her regu-
larlv. give her good, comfortable quarters
to protect her from cold, storms, etc. Now
the poultry should have equally as favorable
treatment as any other stock. Construct
houses, not too large, as you will permit too
many to crowd together. They should be
about eight feet wide, sixteen feet long, to

SCIENCE IN THE KITCHEN
a lady writer tor the New York

4 lady writer tor the New York Tribune
says:
Of late it has become quite the fashion i'll
many circles to talk about food, its prepara-
ton and especially the adaptation of varie-
ties of food to supply the diverse physical
demands occasioned by diverse industrial
and intellectual labors. 81 am going to
write a cook book in eight chapters" said
one of ourmost brilliant journalists, a man
ing his words. !" One chapter shall be how
to make perfect bread another shall take
up coffee and its making, another the po-
tatoes, another eggs, another steak. Com
pick dishes are good in their way, but what
we most need to know is how to prepare
the simple and ordinary articles Of diet III
the most perfect manner
The establishment of cooking schools gives
the best solution of the difficulties under
which our housekeepers labor that has yet
been offered. In our large cities cooking
classes are being formed and taught by ac-
complished cuisimers, men who have sery-
ed long apprenticeships at the art, and un-
derstand the chemistry of cooking no less
than the mechanical manipulation of food.
The attendants on these classes are not SER
want girls chiefly, but their mistresses, la
dies OF refinement and culture who have be-
come ut last convinced that to secure the
health and happiness of their families
science in the kitchen is All Indispensable re-
quisite. The ordinary programme at these
schools is the preparation Of bill Of fare
| for dinner, embracing soup, fish, roast. en-
| or,fvo re ho cLpf in,
his white cap and apron, in the presence OF
his class, weighs, compounds aud cooks the
various articles constituting the bill of fare,
| so that the pupils see With their own eyes
how everything is done, and learn all the
| little niceties OF preparation on which the
excellence Of food so much depends. The
arts of fiavoring, Of serving, Of garnlshing,
taught in this way, are learned with COM
pai;ltive ease, and the lessons incucated OF
eXactness in weight and measure, of precis-
ion in mixing and manipulating ingredients
are invaluable. Only by such instruction.
us this can cookery ever to be made to take
its proper place among the fine arts, and the
cook in a family hold equal rank, as she
should with the music teacher or the draw
ing teacher. Only in this way can the kitch-
en- be lifted into equal honor with the par
lor. Equal? 1t should be held in highest
honor, as the engine room is held in our fav-
tories and machine shops. for without il
what are all the rest worth?
/ The time will come when. connected with
our schools, there will be kitchens in which
cookery will be taught as part of the reg
nlar instruction of the pupils, for this is a
practical age. and the question continually
agitated by our educators is how shall our
youth be best fitted to engage in the active
duties of lite. and we shall begin our study
and our teaching. after having swung around
the whole circle Of the sciences and the arts.

GRICULTURAL ITEMS.

According to Prof. Riley, the following
districts of Missouri will suffer the coming
spring from grasshoppers: Atchison and
Holt, and the western half of Nodaway and
Andrew, in the extreme northwest corner.
Mcdonald, Barry. Jasper, Lawrence, Bar
ton, Dade, Cedar, Vernon, more particularly
in the southwest half Polk in the north
west third !; Hickory in the southwest third,
and St. Clair in scattering places.
The Western New York Horticultural So
ciety hold their next annual meeting in
Rochester, Jan. "a.
The secretary Of the Iowa State Agricul-
tural Society states that there are about 49,
O07 acres in artificial groves in Iowa. There
are about 100000 acres in native timber, and
this shows that only the one hundred and
fittieth part of the State IS in natural and
artificial timber.
Among the peculiar features of the ex-
hibit of Iowa at the Centennial, is sample
of her soils. She has long glass cylinders
over foot in width and many feetin length,
| and in this is placed earth, just as it exists.
On the top is the plack prairie soil, then the
subsoil, and so Oh deep down to the "hard-
pan,'' $ solid bottom" or whatever the end
is called This enables the stranger to see
how deep is the rich black soil, and is very
attractive to visitors. There is glass pillar
for each county, and the soil OF each county,
just as it is, is represented each by itself.
There is no doubt it is one Of the very best
methods of showing how deep is the soil Of
Iowa, and that the fact will have at least its
due weight to those who are seeking homes
in the west.
A Minnesota paper, referring to the light
crop in that State, says
Looking for the cause of the light crop, it
is believed that some Of the causes were
within the control of the farmers and some
were not. The small size of the berry is
attributable in many instances to poor and
imperfect seed. Gen. Delaplaine cited g
notable instance. A farmer had two fields
sown near Delano, one from his own seee
and the other from seed obtained farther
north, where it was entirely free from the
late rains last harvest The result is thai
the wheat from this seed is plump, full ant
perfect, while the other is small, shrunkel
and stunted. 1t is well settled fact that :
vigorous growth cannot be obtained from
seed in which the germ is once started, how
ever slightly, in the previous season. Simi
: lar instances to the above mightbe mention
ed in Winona county, in which the fields
grain from different seed show the same sig
q niticant difference in the yield. This cause
q let is be emphatically repeated, is within tn
control of farmers, and merits their careir
f consideration.

A E RICU IT i RAJ.
FANCY FARMERS.

FANCY EAEMERS.
However much we might wish to change
tbe term fancy, the fancy farmers are more
than fancy, they are enterprising, far-seeing
men. who have generally been in advance of
their time, and to whom we are indebted for
many of the improvements and much of the
progress OF modern agriculture.
No class OF men have been ridicllled so
much and none have done so much good as
those who are denominated fancy farmers.
They have been in all times and countries
the benefactors OF the men who have treat
ed them with derision. They have been to
farmers what inventors have been to manu-
facturers. They have experimental, for the
good of the world, while others have simply
worked for their own gain. They tested
theories, while others have raised crops for
market. They have given a dignity and
glory to the occupation of farming it never
had before.
Fancy farmers have changed the wild boar
into the Suffolk and Berkshire the wild
bull Of Britain into the Shorthorn the
mountain sheep, with it's lean body and hair
fleece, into the Southdown and the Merino.
They have brought up the milk of cows
from pfnts to gallons. They have length
cned the sirloin of the bullock, deepened
the ulder of the COW, enlarged the ham of
the hog, given strength to the shoulder OF
the OK, rendered finer the wool of the sheep,
aided feetness to the speed of the horse,
and made beautiful every animal that is kept
in the service of man. They have improved
and fastened the development Of all domes-
tic animals, till they hardly resemble the
creatures from which they sprang.
Fancy farmers introduced irrigation and
understanding, grinding and cooking food
for stock. They brought guano from Peru
and nitrate of soda from Chilli. They intro
duced and domestioated all the plants we
nave of foreign origen. They brought out
the theory of rotation Of crops as natural
means of keeping up and increasing the fer
1illty OF the soil. They first ground up
bones and gypsum and treated the latter
with acid to make manures of peculiar val
lie. They first analyzed soils, as means of
determining what was wanted to increase
Their fertility. They introduced the most
approved methods of raising and distribut-
ing water.
fancy farmers or fancy horticultursts
nave given us all our varieties of fruits, veg
gables, and flowers. A fancy farmer in
vermont a few years ago, originated the
Early Rose potato, which added millions Of
uoliars to the wealth Of our country, and
proved to be most important accession ii
every part of the world where it was intro
ouced. Another Of these same fancy mel
originated the Wilson strawberry, and an
o1ner The Concord grape. 1t was fame.
