Winter Care Of Laying Hens.

There Is no portion OF the year that
laying hens require so much care rs
during the months of November, Decem-
Der and January, nor Is there any por-
ton of the year that they viii make so
good returns for care bestowed; in fact,
4 well cared for during these months,
BY one who understands the, business,
they will produce more clear profit than
during the remaining nine months of the
year; this Is because eggs always COM
mand very high prices during the late
fall and early winter months. Ono
dozen of eggs viii sell for more at
Christmas time than three dozen in hot
weather, while the cost of keeping Is
but trife more. Successful growers
OF roses for market treat their plants so
as 10 secure flowers at season when
they win sell for the most money; and
successful producers of eggs win man
age their hocks of hens 50 as to secure
eggs at q season when prices are the
highest. One Of the methods adopted
to secure this, is TO raise chicks so early
in the spring that they will begin to lay
in the autumn before cold weather sets
in; this accomplished, by furnishing
good quarters, and feeding intelligently
they viii lay with great regularity
throughout the winter, but to neglect TO
give them good quarters, and feed them
well, results in stopping them from lay
ing as soon as cold weather sets in.
As soon as the ground is covered with
snow close attention must be given to
laying hens; they must not only have
all they can eat, but it must be in great
variety, and of character to supply as
nearly as possible what they get when
running at large in the summer. Chop
ped rowen, or cabbage, should be given,
TO take the place of grass. and small
quantity of fresh meat, in place of in
sects which they get in summer and au-
tumn. Aconstant supply of fresh earth,
including fine loan and gravel, should
be kept by them, where it viii not
freeze The food should be given with
great regularity, and should be COM
posed of o great variety; such rs corn,
wheat, rye, barley, oats, .buckwheat,
millet, boiled potatoes and other vege-
tables No one of these should be given
in quantities so large that they will not
be eaten mp clean. In cold weather the
water given them should be warm. A
yard with the snow shoveled out of it
should always be provided, that the hens
may stand in the air and sunshine
in pleasant weather.-Aassaehss

western Farmers' Gardens.


Too many OF rs pay little attention
to our gardens; large majority are
content that their wives should make
and attend to the family garden, and
the farmer himself gives it very little
attention. This is, hardly fair, as ma
Jority of men are very willing to eat
their share of vegetables when cooked
and put up before them; and as the
farmers wives have all the trouble of
gathering and preparing them for the
table, IL seems only fair that the farmer
should interest himself enough to take
the trouble to raise them. The most of
rs have not variety enough. A bed
each of lettuce, onions, radishes, with
beans and potatoes form the largest
part, and very few think of growing
carrots, canlihowers, egg plant, aspara-
gus, etc. One can see In plenty OF far
mers' front yards small bunch Of as
paragus growing for ornament, but the
stalks are never cut and prepared for
the table. Why this should be so 1 am
unable to say. As for ourselves, we not
only like good variety, but . succes-
sion; and when this can be accom-
plished 50 easily and cheapiy, I am at .
loss 70 know why farmers do not have
more. There IS no plat Of ground that
wiz pay so largely on the investment, II
properly cared for. Try It once, and
keep an account Of what the seeds cost
and the time and labor spent, and then

In considering the question Of exclu-
sive dairying and mixed far ming, Prof.
Arnold says: There are two distinct
courses pursued by dzirymen in carrying
ON their business. One consists In de-
voting the whole farm and the entire
energies Of the farmer TO the production
Of milk; the other makes the dairy sup
plement to other branches Of business, or
constitutes but single item in . system
of mixed farming Each has its sdvan-
tages. When man devotes his whole
time and attention TO one particular line
of business be becomes an expert in it.
He makes himself familiar with all that
relates to it, and thus, learns al the
sources Of profit and loss. and how to
avail himself Of one and avoid the other.
He Is able to make the best selection of
milking stock. because Of his better
trained eye and Judgment He studies
to provide the best milk producing food,
and to secure the largest yield Of milk
per cow per annum, and at the least ex-
penditure of food. II this milk is man
ufactured in the farm we expect the pro-
fessional dairyman to produce the most
perfect goods And this expecskfion ac-
cords with facts. The finest butter and
cheese are turned out by those making
their manufacture specially.

A Western Romance.
Denver Tribune.

A wedding of very romantic charac-
ter occurred in this city yesterday
morning. 1t was the denouement of q
courtship of thirty-four years ago-a
happy contamination of youthful love
showing how incurable are the
invisible wounds that loves keen ar
rows make. DR.. John Smith, now on
visit to Denver, is wealthy and in
fuential citizen of New Mexico.
When quite young man he loved q
young lady in an eastern state and in
return received the undying assurances
of her affection toward him. But fate
interviewed. Circumstances of q pc
culiar nature prevented their union,
and after the first pangs of disappoint-
ed love were past both were with their
companions. A few years later they
lost sight of each other, but never for
got their youthful attachment. The
lady married a gentleman named Kill
patrick, with whom she moved to Mis-
souri,. A few years ago her husband
died, and near the same time DR.. Smith
became widower. Two weeksago Dr..
Smith resolved to make trip east in
search Of his boyhood sweetheart, whose
place of residence was unknown to him,
His first stopping place was Denver.
Arriving here in the early part of last
week he took room at the st. James
Hotel and commenced, looking after
some business among the merchants.
Two days after his arrival, while look
ing over the hotel register, DIR. Smith,
to his great surprise, read the name Of
Mrs Fitzpatrick, from Missouri. He
sought an interview at once, and for
the first time in thirty onr years be-
held his old time sweetheart. The
rest of the story is of necessity brief
and already anticipated.

Rural Felicity.
Laurence Sterne.

Many are the silent pleasures of the
honest peasant who rises cheerfully to
his labors look into his dwelling, where
the scene of every happiness chiefly
lies, he has the same domestic endear-
ments, as much Joy and comfort in his
children, and as fattering hopes of
their doing well, to enliven his hours
and gladden. his heart as you could
conceive in the most affluent station.
And make no doubt, in general, but
if the true account of his Joy and suf-
ferings was to be balanced with those
of his betters, that the up-shot
would prove to be little more than this,
that the rich man had the more meat,
but the poor man the better stomach ;
the one had more luxury, more able
physicians to attend and set him to
rights; the other more health and sound
ness in his bones, and less occasion for
his help; that, after these two articles
betwixt them were balanced, in all
other things they stood upon level
that the sun shines as warm, the air
blows as fresh and the earth breathes
as fragrant upon the one as the other
and that they have an equal share in all
the beauties aud real benefits of nature.

A Bad Mix.

A young lady gave cher yonng man "
beautifully worked pair of slippers,
and he acknowledged the present by
sending her his picture, encased in a
handsome frame. He wrote note to
send With it, and at the same time re-
piled angrily to an oft-repeated dun for
an unpaid for suit of clothes. He gave
q boy ten cents to deliver the package
and note giving explicit directions as
to the destination of each.
It was boy with a freckled face,
he discharged his Grand in a manner
that would give him niche in the tenn
pie of fame.
The young lady received note in
her adored ene's hand writing, and flew
to her room to devour it's contents.
She opened the missive with eager fin
gers and read:
"I'm getting tired of your everlasting
attentions the suit is about worn out al
ready. It never amounted to much
anyway. Please go to thunderl"
And the tailor was struck utterly
dumb when he opened parcel and dis
covered the picture of his delinquent
customer, with a note that said:

is so fierce that you can neither face it
nor distinguish objects ten feet away
