C0ppesas lori cru.

An exchange gives the following result
of an experiment with seed IN: -Four
boxes Of earth, alike in quantity and ex-
posure to light and heat, were planted at
the same time with corn from a single ear,
and placed recently in physicians Office
Ii one box dry corn WAS planted; IN
another, seed previously soab ed in clean
warm water, in the third, seed had been
soaked in a solution of line water, in the
fourth, seed sonked in chloride OF lime
and copperas wafer, equal parts One
week after the dry corn had not germ ma
ted, the corn in the second box had just
commenced TO sprout, that in the third
box was just showing the green blades,
and thst in the fourth box had grown

Care of Hens.

Hens like to be secluded when they lay
and set; hence nests sheltered from the
vulgar gaze will be preferred. The nest
should not be so formed that the hen must
jump into it, since this som etime3 shakes
the eggs so violently as TO break them, A
box with the bottom and one side out will
form q snug nest if put next to wall and
kept well supplied with fresh straw chop
ped in short lengths If rats abound raise
the nests from the floor. Wire basket nets
are excellent. If hung On the walls Of the
house board should be fixed to the wall
near to the basket So that the hen can got
quietly in o the nest without jumping in.
For nest making such material rs IS in
sect proof is preferable. Dried moss is good
also oat CIR wheat straw. Barley straw or
hay are apt TO produce vermin Change
the material Of which the nests are made
often. Hens appreciate cleanliness. Do
not however, change the position Of the
nest, as it d sturbs laying hens and they
may retaliate by laying no eggs or q day
