Eggs in Winter.

Now that eggs are worth two cents
each, there are plenty Of anxious in
1uirers eager to find out how those
people who are fortunate enough to
own winter laying hens manage
what breeds they keep, and what
they feed. Now, my experience has
been that by following a few simple
rules, it is very easy matter to have
fresh eggs at all times. In the first
place my rule is to discard each fall
one. half Of my breeding hens, and
substitute that many early puI lets.
BY doing this each season, your yard
will contain c-hall pullets, and the
balance year.ings-change cocks every
fall-by doing this you obtain an in
fusion OF fresh blood every year.
which is a great desileratum--if You
want vigorous, healthy stock-which
you must have il you want plenty Of
eggs and strong chicks. Secondly,
cleanliness must be strict Y observed.
Thirdly, a constant supply. of pure
water in cold as we'll as warm wealth
err. Fourthly, give the hens anything
they like, and be sure they have
enough more tlocks are underfed in
cold weather than are surielted.
Fowls like variety in their rations as
we'll as we do. Above all, regularity
in feeding must be maintained. This
rpasmodic style Of feeding feast one
day and famine the nexD never will
bring many eggs in the winter. Twice
each week feed Of vegetables, the
same Of meat (lard scraps | generally
use at this season Of the year, and the
same Of warm soft feeG-sl ways
knowing that your fowls go to their
roost at night with their crops we'll
filled with good sound shelled corn.
Your hen house must be comfortably
warm, we'll ventilated, and a sunny
.hed adjoining for them to pass part
Of their time when other duties allow.
Just attend to these little matters and
my word for it, your hens prove them
selves source Of profit as we'll as
pleasure to you. Neglect them, and
the result will be ifyou have eggs in
the winter you will have the pleasure
ofpaying twenty-five cents per dozen
and yard of moping, Improbable
Aens.--Prairie Farmer.

Tom! Toni she cried, dropping on
the grass beside him, you are badly
,rt. You are covered with blood
.nl it was all for my sake. On, Toni!
The tears came into the brown
eyes, and she took the ban lagos from
his hand and staunched his wounds
with her Own trembling fingers.
It's of no consequence, said Tom,
trying to laugh carelessly. l shall
be all right in a day or two-except
my arm, and that's broke, I think
And you saved my life, she re-
piled. Only think? And | have
treated you so shamefully, too. | hate
myself when 7 think how meanly |
acted about that-that slipper.
If you were to drop your slipper
now, said Tom, smiling, I would not
run after it for you any more readily
than then
No, Mr.. Obstinacy,' said Kitty,
looking up at him through her tears
You would be gored by dozen bulls
before you would do it.
'Terhaps So he replied; but
would die for you, Kitty, a hundred
deaths to save your life,
oh, Tom!
Because I love you, Kitty.
Well, said Kitty, dropping hel
eyes to the ground, with her bosom
heaying, If you do, you needn't blurt
1t out-like tbat-for-for, we'll,
don't care--who knows it'll dc
love-love you-you.hu, you-hu, hui
hu.y-u,u-u'
With which Iachrymal declaration
Kitty bowed her head on Toms hand
and became inaulble.
And so the capricious lady made
her choice at last, and the story-tel,
ler's task is done. The superficial
reader will perhaps be apt to infer
that she arrived at her conclusion
after Toms unprecedented display Of
heroism in confronting the bull. But
such, my friend, is not the case. In
point of fact, the little witch first
learned that she loved Tom Mansfield
on the day when he refused to wade
after her lost slipper. But it is ever
.hus with lovely woman.

work of blowing for and putting in
crops, on the arrival of spring there
are his fences to be righted up, the

of taking advantage OF such days

THE NEW YORK
I r | 3 u N E
FOR 1880.

During the coming Presidential year The Tribune
will be more effective agency than for telling
the best worth knowing, and for enforcing
sound politics. From the day the closed it has
been most anxious for an end of sectional strife.
But 1t saw two years ago, and the first persist
emily to Proclaim the new danger to the country
from the revived alliance of the Solid South and
Tammany Hall. Against that danger 1t sought to
rally the old party of Freedom and the Union. 1t
began by demanding the abandonment of personal
dislikes, and set the example. 1t called for end
to attacks upon each other instead of the enemy
and for the heartiest agreement upon whatever fit
candidates the majority should put up against the
common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has
been turned back; every doubtful state has been
won and the omens for National victory were never
more cheering.
THE TRIBUNE'S POSITION.
Of The Tribune's share in all this, those speak
most enthusiastically who have most of the
struggle 1t will faithfully portray the warming
phases of the campaign now beginning 1t will
earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Union
and Public Faith may select the man surest to win,
and surest to make good President. But in this
crisis 1t can conceive of no nomination this party
could make that would not be preferable to the best
that could possibly be supported by the Solid South
and Tammany Hall.
The Tribune is now spending much labo and
money than before hold the distinction it has
enjoyed of the largest circulation among the best
people. 1t secured, and means to retain it by be
