For hens to lay in winter, it is neccs-
sary that they should be supplied with all
the requirements of food, eggs she'll mat
ter, cleanliness and condition. Good
feeding is all that is required by nature
for egg producing. The substance is
better supplied Ivy giving them sound,
sweet food literally, then by any arti-
fetal condiment or preparation sold for
the purpose. The high price of such
preparations, however good they may be
puts them beyond reach of the farmer to
get a profitable return for the outlay. A
tride invested in a few simple things
such as pepper, pulverized charcoal, sui
pher, and cayenne, answers ali the pur-
poses Of keeping the birds in health.
Even these should be used sparingly once
Or twice week. When fov is found
to be ailing, it must be separated from
the others and treated with proper
medicines for the disease. Such arc now
pretty we understood by practical breed
ers and poultry keepers.
The food should consist more of other
grains than of corn. Although all kinds
Of poultry seem to prefer corn to other
grain, yet corn has been proved by a
great many poultry-men to be inferior as
an egg producer to wheat, barley, &C.. and
occasionally to buckwheat and oats. Corn
may be given sparingly with advantage.
but corn alone makes hens too fat and lazy.
So fed they lack animation and yigor, es-
pecially the Asiatic breeds, which are
more prone than other strains to this
fairness that seems to border on disease.
Their intcstines become eEcaseo in one
mass Of fat, and to stint fowls to any given
quantity OF food especially when confined,
is quite impracticable. Soft food given
once a day in winter, is very beneficial,
particularly during spells of severe
weather.
It promotes laying. It should consist
of ground grain, as corn, buckwheat,
barley, wheat Or oatmeal, varied at times,

Should an eruption occur in this volcano,

Immediately move back upon the half-colorcd

eruption, foolishly fancying that the only
tenantable portion of the earth rests within
the shadow of the great volcano This fairly
illustrates the force Of habit, and the press-
tency with which people cling to opinions
when once formed. For example DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery cures incipicnt con-
sumption, coughs, colds, and all affections of
the liver and blood, yet some still depend
upon physicians and remedies that have
naught but repeated failures to which they
can refer. And although DIR. Piercc's Favor
tic Prescription is sold under positive guar
antee to cure those weaknesses peculiar to
women, and Notwithstanding that thousands
OF women bear testimony to its efficacy, and
the truth of all statements made concerning
it, many yet submit to the use of caustic and
the knife: Again, DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purg-
alive Pellets, no larger than mustard seeds,
will positively cure constipation, where it is
dependent upon dyspepsia or torpid liver yet
some still depend for relief upon the "blue pip
or huge doses of drastic cathartic medicine

the blindness of the poor Italians?
