To Break up setting Hens.

Do not drench them with water, nor
put them in a barrel with an inch or
Two of water in the bottom, nor tie
them up by one leg to tree, nor fol-
low any other of those cruel practices
which our fathers in their ignorance
used to quench the natural instinct.
But take them from thu nest, put them
in large coop in the open air, under
a shade tree, if the weather is warm,
and feed them largely with everything
including burnt bones. that you give to
your laying hens.
In many cases The fowls commence:
to sit when she is in good condition &c
keep on laying eggs, if we can but SCI
the notion out of her head that she
must be clucking mother. She need:
perhaps the material for EGG shell:
Orhich may be e.si!y sunpled. Further
more, she should not be put in a small
COOP. where she will sit down and moi
obtain exercise; better put her in a
pen having no floor, but loose earth
where she may scratch for . living
Activity will tend to forgetfuiness o
the sitting fever or desire to sit.
1t is well to provide also for socia
activity, and to this end a cock may b.
introduced TO pen where sitting hen
are kept. He will talk in his owl
language, scratch with the would b.
sitters. and soon will be found, whel
you may be sure that the time ha
come for more freedom.

way in which he manages bis corn

His plan docs not differ from that

stands these bundles into stocks. and
when dry, draws them into the barn,
or makes them into high, narrow

The Deacon and l do the same thing
the only difference is, that we propose
to draw them in tomorrow, or the
next day, or as soon as convenient, and
the result is, that something happens
to postpone the work, and before we
know it the stalks are wet, and we
must wait until they get dry again.
And sometimes we repeat this process
OF waiting for convenient tinpe, and

be more generally followed as the
closeness of the times shortens the
profits OF Agriculture more and more.
The farm products must be put in the
form in winch they will command the
most money, and yet leave the land in
the most productive condition.
1t may not be amiss to look around
and see to every detail of the farm
management once in a while, and
compare the system of conducting
Iyour fam with that of the most intelli.
gent farmers OF the community. There
is much to leaih by such comparison
which will benefit any farmer. A com
parison of methods will develop many
new ideas and show to the close OBJ
server where he can make many I'M
provements on his past manage
ment.
Brains require cultivating as well a:
corn, and the farmer should take
enough time from the cul walton O
his crops to at least read the paper:
and keep posted on the markets anc
current events. A farmer has as much
reason to read aud study as any othe
business man, and diligent study o
what others leaned by experience o.
