Corned mutton is extensively used in for

When the American farmers set about to raise

TO it's wild habits of laying fifteen eggs and
then sitting, it is made to increase the eggs
beyond fifteen, by taking advantage Of its
natural power Of provision for accidents, by
removing the eggs as fast as laid, leaving
enough in the nest to prevent its abandon
ment The hen is forced to lay few addi-
tional eggs to supply the apparent deficiency
in the number usual when incubation is COM
menced Under domestication the robbery
of hens nests is carried on regularly and con
stantly, and the production of eggs is stimu-
lated at a great rate This is assisted by the
abundant supply of food at all seasons. Food
is plenty with the wild fowl only during the
breeding season, but man by supplying plen-
ty during winter, makes spring and summer
extend through the whole year This induces
a habit of continual laying that becomes her
editary. This work of breeding strains Of
fowls to be great layers by gathering their
eggs daily was not performed with any con-
scious purpose. The keepers took the eggs
because they wanted them, and carried ON
their practice without knowing or caring that
the habits of birds would become permanent
ly changed thereby This is perpetuated UNI
consciously by most people who keep fowls
for use. The 'gude-wife' when sitting hen
always selects the eggs from the hens that
are good layers cold Brownie is such good
layer, l like the breed" SO old Brownies
eggs are saved for sitting. The keeper, by
thus unconsciously selecting the eggs for sit
ting goes on improving his stock in this quail
ity from year TO year. All these causes have
been in operation for thousands of years. for
the change from thirty or fifty eggs per an
mum to five times that amount was not ac-
complished in single one hundred years
The reason why geese and ducks do not lay
so continuously or so abundantly as hens is
because they are migratory fowls and their
breeding season is more limited than that Of
the jungle fowl, which is n constant resident
In the northern season where they rested, the
season is short, and what was done was done

STOCK AT LARGE AND PENCE LAWS.

Away with all fences, and keep your stock
Mt home! Feed them in your stables or barn
yards and make all the manure you can Not
before this sentence is carried out to the very
letter will farming be really profitable. One
of the greatest drawbacks to improvement of
landed estate is the custom which has allowed
cattle and other stock to roam at will over the
public roads. The law which allows a farm
er damage for destruction of his crops by
predatory cattle is II mere farce In such
cases. most of the neighbors who are asked
to appraise the damages don't want to be mix
ed up with the case, for fear of gaining the
ill-will of their neighbors, who in turn might
appraise heavily against them. Therefore, it
is often an impossibility to get persons to APP
praise the damages. Hence many people in
my neighborhood at least, keep two to three
cows and four or five hogs, without owning
single acre of land. These cattle, number
ing sometimes a hundred at time, prey up
on the farms, destroy fences, tramp down
and root up crops, and even if you get judg-
ment against the offending owners they do
not own anything.
If you should have the audacity to pen up
predatory cattle Gt is surely delightful Job
to pen up strange hogs who browse in YOUR
cornheld) your harm is certain to be in dan
ger.
Now all this can be avoided by strict and
peremptory law, forbidding any stock or cat
tie TO be left to roam at large. Such statutes
exist to my knowledge in two counties of New
Jersey, viz;-Camden county and Vineland.
There they have pound and an officer who
impounds any stray cattle. The penalty for
a stray COW is one dollar, a sheep or hog if
ty cents stray horse one dollar and SO on.
Even the goats are remembered with twenty
five cents. If all fencing is done away with
farming can be made profitable, for il costs
generally as much as a farm is worth to keen
twell fenced for term of twenty years.
Throughout my native country there is no
fence to be seen. The laws concerning stray
cattle are very strict and the unbiased mind
will see the advantage to the whole communi-
~ at once.-N. Il. Farmer.

CLIMBING PLANTs-THE MAURANDYA AND
ITS SPECIAL VIRTUES. many years ex-
perience in the culture of flowers | am COM
PEELED TO place the Maurandya in the front
rank of climbing plants. Without wishing 10
appear particularly enthusiastic, l assert that
this vine possesses all the requisites of a per-
feet chmber-rapid growth, graceful habit
beautiful flowers, and adaptation for baskets
and rock-work, as well rs the trellis. And it
possesses still another virtue worthy especial
mention The great majority of vines with
which l am acquainted have habit of per-
fecting their upper leaves at the expense of
the Overwhelming them to grow yellow or
to drop of with age, giving the plant an un-
slightly appearance. The Maurandya has no
such weakness. OF woody growth it is con
stantly ''stooling' from below and the whole
plant let the weather be wet or dry, remains
lively green without one discolored leaf to
mar its verdancy.
The flowers are somewhat like the we'll
known Foxglove in form, although much
smaller, and of three colors-rose. white and
purplish pink. Unlike most other climbers
the flowers are not produced alone from the
top of the plant, but are distributed evenly
over ITS surface, owing to the constant shoot
ing forth of new branches.
And now, in hopes that have sufficiently
interested the reader, will give some plain
directions for the growth and cultivation of
this the queen of climbers.
Although the Maurandya can be obtained
at most greenhouses, l would advise growing
them from seed, from one package, for
which you pay 10 cents, you can get 20 or
more plants, that will bloom abundantly the
first season, and be in fine condition to re-
move to the house in the winter, TO grow lux
uriantly the following season in the garden
The seed can be sown either in the hot-bed
or in boxes in the house. The earlier the
seed is started, the finer plants you will have
but even late-sown seed will produce good re-
suits. Sow the seed thinly, and do not allow
the young plants to stand less than two inches
apart. You can transplant the 10th or 10Th
of May, as it is half hardy and can be remov-
ed as safely as a cabbage plant. Make the
soil in which this vine is to grow very rich.
Any kind Of trelhs will answer, but that in

the form of a screen is best. The Maurandya is
excellent for baskets. A single plant will suf-
fee. For rock-work it is unsurpassed. It is
better TO set it after the other plants have got
some growth. 1t will then cover the whole.
as with fairy drapery, adding greatly TO its
beauty.
When frost touches the tops, cut each plant
of to within three or four inches Of the ground
and set it in boxes or pots. Within week
vigorous shoots will appear, and, if placed in
n south window will completely cover it be
