AGRICULTURAL.

The best time for painting the
exterior OF farm buildings Is late IN
autumn OF during the winter. Paint
then employed will endure twice as
long a. when applied in early sum
mer or in hot weather. In the
former IL dries slowly and becomes
hard like glazed surface, not easily
affected afterwards by the weather
or worn offby the beating Of storms,
but in very hot weather the oil in
the paint soaks int the wood nj
once, as into sponge, leaving the
lead nearly dry and nearly ready
to crumble of. The last dufhculty,
however, might be guarded against,
though at an increased expense, BY
first going over the surface with raw
oil. BY painting in cold weather
one annoyance might certainly be
escaped, namely, the flies in fresh
paint-Iord Homestead.

of nothing, nor out of such material
as do not contain the elements need
ed fer making eggs. Eggs deprived
Of their shells consist of seventy-one
and three -fourths parts Of water,
fourteen parts Of fat and one-fourth
part of phoaphatss and other miner
al elements. 1t is important that
the food giVon to the hens should
contain in due proportion all the
elements needed for the production
Of eggs. If they are fed wholly on
Indian corn. ~ is quite often the
case, the proper proportion OF these
elements will NOS DO supplied. Corn
contains in each one hundred parts,
eleven OF fissh-forning clsmsnts,
eight Of fat, sixty-fve Of starch, and
enc Of lime material. The fat and
starch are both Of q fattening ma
turs, no that while there are emily
eleven of fresh forming elements,
there are seventy OF far-form-
ing elements. The proportion OF
flesh forming material in the egg Is
fourteen parts thirteen OF fat. Thus
il will be seen that If corn consti-
tutes the principal diet Of the hens,
an excess of fat elements will be
taken into the system, which cannot
be used in the formation of eggs
As there is not a demand for all OF
this excess of fat for use a large part
Of il must be stored up On fat The
result is the hen becomes too lat to
lay well. She does not obtain from
what corn she can eat enough ofma-
tsrial, of right kind, to make an egg
every day or every other day. Corn
10 good fosd for laying hens, but
should not constitute their whole
diet. Seine rich in transforming
elements, such AS milk and meat,
should DO fed along with it.
Hens in fact require . variety Of
food in order to lay well. They
will DO observed when running al
large in summer to eat a little OF al
most everything that comes in their
way. They eat worms and other
insects, seeds Of all kinds, grass cab
bage, leaves and other green food.
In winter they need q large variety
food. Ii is advisable to feed sever
al kinds Of grain, such ms corn, oAts
and wheat, and other kinds occasion
all, if easily obtainable. They must
also be supplied with green food. A
good way TO feed cabbage is to sus-
pend b. nd within easy reach OF
the fowls. and allow them TO peck
at it when they will. By having it
suspended; it is kept out of the dirt
and is better rslished by the fowls.
There should always be kept with
in reach of the fowls . supply OF
rowen for them to eat of rs they see
at. As they are fond of green grass
during the summer, they will accept
Of dried grass in the winter.
Warter is and important element
OF eggs, constituting over 20 per
cent. of their bulk; hence the Reces-
sity of keeping a supply constantly
by the hens.
Finally, the material elements OF
the eggs and their shells should not
be forgotten. Pounded oyster shells
will afford good material for making
shells. Pounded bone elements OF
the eggs. The fat and soft bones
may be readily pounded into pieces
while fresh, and the larger and
firmer ones may be burned or char
red until made brittle, and then be
easily pounded up. If the hens are
thus fed, and kept warm in sunny
apartments, they will be sure to
yield a large return ofeggs.

PACKING BUTTER IN
CROOKS.

The partial loss of q crock Of our
own best butter the past season, or.
what was about the same, the loss
of its flavor and the consequent old
taste, has led to the looking into
the matter, and the supposed perfect
glazing of the crock was found to
be pierced With q great number OF
most minute holes, the result in
some way of the burning. This let
the air into the butter, or, what was
worse, the inside material of the
creek simply acted as q sponge, and
the finer aromatic oils of the butter
were absorbed through these minute
holes into the clay, and the outside
layer of butter was ruined, leaving
but a core of good butter in the
center of the crock. No poorer Ar
ticle was ever invented in which to
pack butter than a poor crock, one
either imperfectly glazed or n
second" that contains cracks,
"blisters" or scalded off places.
When glazing is perfect or glass
like, absorption cannot take place,
but unless il is perfect there is q
great liability o: loss in aroma and
texture, and what was put down ms
yellow butter will be taken up with
edges blssehsd out and flavor gone.
If q broken crock is examined il
will DO found that the glazing at
best is not thicker than = film, and
might be easily destroyed by the
action of the oil and the acids OF
which butter is composed. The
genuine stone crock with its glazing
of glass makes q perfect package
for butter, but the common clay
crock with its salt wash or virrsous
glaze, is eftsn q delusion in butter
keeping; but what consumer ever
thought il was the crock itself that
worked the damage and charged il
TO this cause.-GsUelaHd Herald.

HOGS VS.. OTHER STOCK.

Nine years ago / fed 100 sheep.
| bought them the first Of Ssptem-
Der for 81 N head in good flesh,
and good feeding sheep, / also rails
ed about $50 pigs, which ran with
the sows till middle Of October,
when they were weAned. Net wish
ing to winter al, / took 100 Of the
pigs to feed, mt the same time fed
grain to the 100 sheep, and sold
sheep and pigs the same week, end
Of January. The sheep brought
81 so per head, a p roft on them OF
$3.50. The pigs brought $3.50. The
amount of corn fed 70 each was very
nenrly the same. The capital in
vested in pigs was the Gummering
Of the sows on grass. They were
of about equal value with the sheep
when L began TO feed grain, which
leaves a balance Of $500 in favor Of
the hogs
Four years ago, with IS cows at
$40 each, 8 capital Of 81 500, / sold
10000 lbs. of cheese, at mn average
oflO cents. Take out $500 for max
ing, leaving a balance Of 81, 200.
Fat calves, sold 10 the amount of
$500, making q total profit on COWS
Of s., 1000. The same year I had
$50 hogs at $40 each, a capital OF
81 500, and frsm them sold $1,000
lbs mt an average price OF $3.50 per
cwt-, a total sum ofs2, AIS. / bought
$50 bushels corn, $3.50, and $3.50
worth Of meal,-whole cost, $500
q profit left Of s2,I75, and with
$500 less capital invested than in
cows, a balance of sI75 in favor of
the hogs.
/ do think that cows come nearer
to hogs, in dsllars and cents, than
any farming / have tried. The
capital invested in n drove Of young
hogs In very small compared with
other stock, aud for quick returns
would take the beg. Since twelve
good sized hegs can DO kept on one
acre OF good clover pasture for Al
or 5 months and gain finely, my
way usually has been to sell pigs
ut seven or eight months old. The
average price of hogs for the last
twenty years 10 nearly 90 per cwt.,
and Of corn about 40 cents n bushel,
leaving . handsome margin for the
feeder. / have said repeatedly, and
/ say the same new, that i have
made more money from raising hogs
than any other branch OF farming.

lnctr Location, INtent, auu NnlUe-ffO-
viding for Their Disposition.
The bill reported yesterday by Senator Cock
rell, from the committee on military affairs,
to provide for the disposition of abandoned
aud useless military reservations, provides
that the lands included within any military
reservation which have OF may become useless
for military purposes shall be placed under
the control of the secretary Of the interior for
appraisal and public sale at not less than $1.25
per acre, and also that such lands shall not
DO subject to location by warrant or land
scrip of any description and shall not be sub
ject to tho homestead, presumption, or timber
culture laws.
In the report accompanying the bill the
committee submits o table showing the loca-
tion and the areas Of the military reserva-
tions, which shows that there are in oil 179
such reservations, whose areas aggregate
2020,5S0 acres. Alabama has 1; Arizona, 10;
Arkansas,2; California, 10; Colorado, 8; Dakota,
10; Florida, 49, Idaho, 5; Illinois, l. Kansas, 9;

Nebraska, 8; New Mexico, IL: Nevada, 3;
Oregon, 4; Utah, A. Washington territory, 80;
Wisconsin, l, and Wyoming, of such reser-
vations. The largest quantity OF land re-
served in any one state or territory Is in Da-
kota, where the area Of the reservations Is
9s5,339 acres. Montana comes next with
S39,056 acres; New Mexico and Wyoming
have each more than q, 900 acres SO reserved
| and Arizona has 1917, 600.
Tho committee also presents table en-
| bodied in q report made by Gen. Sheridan,
| under date of Dec. 10, 1888 showing that tho
| lands included within tho abandoned and
useless military reservations aggregate I'll,
| $50 acres.
The committees report states that many Of
these reservations have been abandoned for
ten years, and that no power is vested in the
President to restore such reservations to the
public domain.
