WHAT A PINT OF MANURE DID.

A Wisconsin farmer sends this experience:
Last year in hauling yard manure cross a
field. afterwards planted TO corn, some Of it
scattered of in driblets, from a handful to a
pint or SO in a place. When planting the
corn found portions of these droppings,
and. where noticed, drew them into the
hills, and with the hoe mixed them little
with the soil as the seed was dropped. In
three instances, where large handful or
about pint of the manure was thus put in,
a stick was driven down to mark the hills.
When hoeing we noticed that in these hills
the corn plants had started off more vigor-
ously, were greener, and at the third hoe
ing they were from six to twelve inches
higher than the other hills adjoining. Our
curiosity being awakened, we followed up
the observations, and when gathering the
crop. each of the three stalks in all the
three hills had on it two large plump ears,
while the surrounding corn did not average
one good ear to the stalk. This set us think
ing and figuring. That bit of manure had
given the young corn roots vigorous start,
lust as good feed starts off young calf, or
pig, or lamb, and the roots penetrated fur
thur in every direction and gathered more

LANGsHANs.

The Langshan is now widespread, and its
detractors no longer venture to class it with
mongrels, for it has proved that it is not
only distinct breed, but one Il the purest
OF distinct breeds.
The bird is a of beautiful glossy black
color in contradlstinction to the dull appear
ance of the Black Cochin, which breed is
anything but success. The black variety
of Cochin has always been most unsatisfac-
tory to breeders.
Prior TO the inception of the Langshan
the approved color for legs of the Black
Cochin was yellow, but in order to compare
at all favorably with the CLASSY plumage of
the Langshan, or to procure it by crossing
with that breed, the yellow leg had to give
way TO dark penciled shade.
Critics have entirely shifted the ground of
their arguments. Instead of now saying
that the Langshan is a Black Cochin--the
outcast of the Black Cochin-they declare
that the Langshan is the original type of the
Black Cochin. One of the advocates of this
course of action says that "a rose by any
other name would smell as sweet" True
but then it must have the essential qualities

INCREASE OF EGGS.

1t has been satisfactorily demonstrated
that the organs of production are capable
and can by proper food and care be made
way OF ''shelling out"
There are several cogent reasons co sub
stantiae this, tor if fowls are left to shift for
themselves, they will lay but few eggs COM
paratively. whereas, if the opposite course
is taken. they being supplied with food con-
tanning albuminoids with the natural food
they procure, such as insects, seeds and veg
etables, they will more than double the num-
her of eggs.
All the wild gallinaceous fowls are very
indifferent layers, and seldom any OF the
species will lay over ssTdozen eggs during
the season. Nature in this, as well as other
things, limits their production to the adap-
tation of crimate, surroundings. habits and
the way OF procuring food.
Those who make an object Of marketing
eggs will find by careful comparison that
young stock con be kept to better advantage
than those that have passed the third year.
Early Matched cockerels can be sold for
broilers and the pullets retained for layers
i'll the winter when eggs command high
prices; pulIets will lay more than old hens,
they are always in a fair condition for the
table when needed, are less liable to attacks
of disease, and can bear the changes of
weather much better.
Variety of food, judicious system of
feeding, cleanliness, pure air, and the gen
eral comfort and well being of the hens
have a great deal to do with increasing their
productiveness. These are mainly the prin-
ciples that govern in keeping fowls success
fully; as circumstances vary SO the means
of carrying out the principles will vary so
that every one must use some judgment and
common sense in what is best suited to his
case, how most readily and cheaply he can
conform to the requirements, for the man
who hasn't aptitude enough for this is not
likely to succeed after he is furnished with
what is necessary.

PLYMOUTH ROCKS.

1t hardly seems necessary to say much in
praise OF the Plymouth Rocks, as the real
merits OF thissbreed is unquestioned, and
their reputation is well established They
may be considered general purpose fowl,
alike adapted for the farmer and market
breeder. They are not affected by change
of locality, and have the ability to stand the
severe climate changes of our country with
out showing the least sign of deterioration.
With the keeping OF the Plymouth Rocks
there is no necessity for having two breeds
on place, in order to obtain both eggs and
chickens, as must be done when only the
non-sitting varieties are kept, thereby in
creasing the chances of introducing impure
blood into ones flock. They are remark
ably quiet in disposition, bear confinement
well, and are thrifty under all cilcum-
stances.
The last decade has witnessed marked
change in the breed for the better. They
are now larger, better Snapped, more COM

than in former years. They are excellent
