"Whe:e is that magazine called the Pictur-

Our correspondents are too busy, we sup
pose, to collect their usual items of local
news, which have been made, by them, SO
interesting during the long winter. We
would ask them, now that spring crops are
being put in, to take particular notice Of agri-
cultural items, Colleet$as hear as possible,
the amount of acreagesofs the various: crops
being sowed in your towns, and send them
to us. 1t will have tendency to represent
the development Of your respective towns
more thoroughly than can be done any 9TH
er way.

egg production every time they see him COM
ing. OF course he sees them on til 9 hest and
steals gently out Of sight to await the coming
event; this is fun for the hens, who slide off
the nest and laugh heartily over their nice
little trick. The dealer in poultry mistakes
stheir laugh forrTthes signal Announcing the
birth Of a new egg, and smilingly goes to
