Eggs in Winter.

In order to get bountifal supply of eggs
in winter We must have young hens. Pullets
Matched in April or May will prove the most
satisfactory. The hens must be well cared
for; have q comfortably warm house, kept
clean and we'll arranged. Provide plentiful
supply of fresh water, accessible at all times.
Variety and plenty of food is absolutely nee
essary. Feed regularly what the hens will
eat without wasting. find wheat or screen
ings the best for the principal feed; corn,
oats and buckwheat come in as variety. Corn
meal, midjlings, or something of that sort,
mixed stiff and warm, should be fed first in
the morning, but give no soft food after mid
day. Whole grain should be the feed after
the morning mess. Dry grain is best to fill
the hens crop with al night. Fresh meat in
some form should be fed daily, lard or tallow
tchandler's) scraps are good. Scraps broken
up, soaked over night, and mixed with
meal and bran, make good occasional
feed mornings. Vegetable food is also
necessary. Carrots, turnips. boiled pota-
toes and cabbage are all good. Oyster and
clam shells, broken fine, lime or lime mortar,
fine gravel, coal and ashes should be supplied
to hens when confined. They need light
sprinkling Of red pepper in their soft food
once a week or oftener in quite cold weather.
Chopped hay should be supplied to them
occasionally. Have box of sand or ashes
where they can use it at pleasure. Any bones.
burned or broken fine, or other warm scraps
from the table, are always acceptable to the
hens.
Having adopted system of feeding pursue
it steadily. or, when changing do it gradually !;
never make sudden radical changes, as it
always unfavorably affects the supply Of
eggs. Keep the hens from being worried or
excited through fear Of bOisterOus boys,
dogs. etc. The more quiet the hens the
greater the number of eggs supplied. The
hens should be bred from chicks with the
view of egg-production, always keeping them
growing by good care till they attain mature.
Let no one who has neglected his hens, or
feeds spasmodically, expect a full supply of
eggs Immediately after commencing
systematic course of feeding. 1t often takes
weeks and months to put neglected hens into
condition to be good layers Correspondent

Death of Matt. Ahern Prison.

Matthew Ahern, formerly 8 well-known plumber in Hartford, died in the State prison at 12:45 on Saturday night, of con- sumption. Ahern was about 55 years of age, and was for long time a resident of Hart ford, and at one time ons of the most suc- cessfuI plumbers and gas filters there He was twice married. His first wife left him several children. From the second he was divorced, she obtaining the decree.
 s Ahern was sent to prison September IA, under sentence of one year, for keeping some diamonds which he found after heknew who the owner was. In coming before the legislative committee to plead for pardon he said he did not intend to keep the diamonds, but as he was at work in Meriden at the time, he neglected to return them. As he did not keep the finding of them 8 secret, but on the contrary told several of it, he did not think there was anything criminal in it. It is probable that had he not died, he would have been pardoned out of prison to-day.

The Tax Committee.

MT. TrOup Makes an Explanation Re-
 gardtng the Town Clerks Charges.
 A meeting of the Tax committee was held in the room of the Board of Selectmen last evening.
 George H. Watrous appeared before the committee and asked for an abatement of as- sessment amounting to about $1, 900 for as- sessment Sagainst the Whitneyville horse railroad. His claim was that the assessment should be abated on the ground of poverty. The road had never paid any dividend to stockholders while the general public had re- cei7ed the benefit of it.
 Cornelius Pierpont asked for 8 similar abatement for the Centerville horse railroad on the same ground. He said that the road was poor and in debt and had never paid dividend.
 The committee voted to recommend the abatement of both assessments.
 Mr. Troup, of the committee, asked per mission to make personal explanation. He said that the present Town Clerk had rushed into print regarding his fees for tax liens. Mr. Troup said that when he came into this committee the subject of tax liens was brought up and there was a consultation in ] relation thereto by the committee. At this time there was talk about the release of cer- tain Yale college property, and, as he recol- lected, the tax collector, who was consulted, said that the cost of this release was $27. It was at this time thought best to frame bill to prevent such exorbitant changes and it was drawn and advocated before the legisla- tive committee, and by him before the Leg islature. MT. Shuster claims that he had never charged over 25 cents for release of lien. I went to the tax collector s office recently and found that ST. 50 had been charged by Mir. Shuster for release of Yale college property. Now don't desire to mis represent the town clerk and I have no de- 5sire to treat him other than fairly. The only statement have made is what is based on the statement made to this committee as 8 whole by the tax collector. There is no dis position on my part to be unjust to the town clerk, although he has been disposed to rush into print to correct what he considers mis- statements. I ask said MT. Troup. that the committee bear me out in the truth of this explanation. The other members of the com- mittee said the statement as made by MT. Troup was correct as they understood it.
