TweIva Tons of Plates.

HalStOn' in New \ Ork 1ineS.J
sat in the Office of a leading electro
tipping and stereotyping firm the other
day and enjoyed conversation with one
of the proprietors that proved exceedingly
entertaining. His business was the text
In the midst of our chat a messenger
brought him letter from well-known
publisher 1t was brief saying simply
that twelve tons of old plates" were
ready to be melted I asked some ques
tons. This is what he told me: since
the beginning of this year | have melted
over fifty tons of plates for this firm
electrotype plates of books witch this
firm has been publishing. Some curious
things come out in an examination or the
plates that are thus destroyed L have
had curiosity enough to look over the
larger part of the mass that has gone into
the pot.
"The publishing house is an old one, and
its publications cover a wide scope from
text books to novels. In the list of plates
to be melted the biggest share by long
odds is composed of novels, and, though
the house has been printing moves TO-
years, l find that the books condemned,
the plates for which no further use can be
found, are almost wholly those OF most
recent date. You may think this eXpllc-
able on the theory that plates OF previous
date are already out of the way; little
investigation shows me that this is not so
to such an extent as might be imagined.
A plate of page of the ordinary
novel viii weigh from pound to
pound and a half; the entire make
up of whole volume will average 100
pounds, and the fifty tons that have been
melted represent over 200 books for which
the publisher finds no further use; this
additional twelve tons send fifty or sixty
more to oblivion Rather sad, isn't it. for
the hopes and dreams of your aspiring
sCribblers?
"Out of the two hundred and odd vol
umes already thrown overheard by this
house this year fully four-fifths bear inn
prints of dates since 1876. Now, while
destroying these more recent books this
publishing house has stored away over
800 tons of other plates of work precisely
similar to this that is put out of the way.

H0sU Many Eggs wa n Hen Layf

We often read Of hens that lay 200 eggs
In year, but such statements do more
harm than good, by inducing the inexperi-
epced to believe such fact. Anyone who
is familiar At all with pOul.ry knows that
during the fall all hens undergo the process
OF noting, or shedding the feathers.
This requires usually about three months,
or 100 days. As there are only 1865 days In
year, we have left PCS days after deduct
ing the molting period. II hen'lay regu.
lafly an egg every other day, she will lay
1873 eggs; but she will probably lose three
months 10 Matching out her broods,, and
even II she Is non-settsY she will take q
resting place. As molting is q heavy drain
on The system but few hens lay during that
process, though there ore exceptions, and
where the number Of eggs exceed one every
two days it will be found that a correspond
Ing reduction occurs during some period Of
the year. While we admit that certain In
dividual hens have been known to lay as
many $50 or even 175 eggs in year, such
cases are rare; and II one has flock Of
twenty hens, ormore, he should be satisfied
II there 10 an average vi 100 egg. . year
for the whole flock, or rather nine dozens.
Fur dozens out Of the nine should realize
30 cents per dozen, three dozens should
bring about 20 cents per dozen, aud two
dozens should realize 10 cents per dozen or
An average of about % cents. or course,
this calculation may be wrong, but it will
convey an idea Of what may be expected.

Corn Fed Horses.

Corn Is the bane of the farm horse, as 1t
is also of the horse doing any other
sort of work, not because Of not being
sufficiently nutritious, but because 1t
too much fat and not enough muscle.
The horses muscle wears away by work
as metal wears away by friction. Fat
wears away by under exercise, but its dis
appearance In nowise lessen the power for
either draft or speed. On the other hand
we'll nourished and vigorously exercised
muscles, without deposit OF fat to keep
them company, are much more efficient
for any purpose for which the horse Is
kept, than when there is load Of fat to be
carried. The trainer acts upon this prop
osition and works the fat of, experience
having shown that the muscles trained
down by exercise until fat accumulatiens

Farm, Garden, Home.
A Talk About Ssci,.e Feeding.

The first thing farmer should consider
Is, to have healthy hogs, and in order to Sc
cure this he must provide variety OF food
and give them comfortable quarters. My
pigs were fed, last winter, corn, ROOFS
wheat middlings, and buckwheat bran.
This winter they are fed the same, with
the addition OF raw apples, OF which pur-
chased eight hundred bushels, mostly for
the pigs. Warm sheds, or rather pens, are
constructed In a sunny corner Of the fields
adjoining the buildings and here the pigs
are being wintered, In lots Of dozen or
less in each. They have plenty of room n
which to stir about; and are fed In spot
where the cold winds do not reach them.
One fruitful cause of disease with pigs is
exposure TO a cold wind when just out of
hot nest where, perhaps, they have been
piled upon each other. The sudden change
Of temperature may be as great as twenty
or thirty degrees, enough, anyway, to
cause colds, which may assume the form
pleurisy, quincy, Inflammation OF the lungs
or bowels. Sleeping under the straw
stack, and feeding upon the open ground
10 raking wind. lay the foundation for
many diseases. If the farmer has made no
provisions for feeding his hogs. other than
corn, let him give them clover hay, This
may cause the exclusive corn-feeder to
smile, but be should remember that Is not
only . change Of food, but that clover con-
tains the very elements the corn lacks. II
bis hogs have been so pampered that they
have no appetite for such food, then get
breed which has, and let "early maturity"
mean, with him, healthy body, ready to
slaughter. l care not whether the pig
weighs one hundred, two hundred or three
hundred pounds, 50 long IS this weight has
been made at profit. Good appeties are
the result Of good bodies, and good bodies
cannot be made without variety Of food.
With good appetites and strong digestion,
coarse and cheap foods can be utilized, and
herein Is the best basis for profit. Let corn
in as an aid In fattening swine, but not as
the all 10 all In pig feeding.

Poetry.
Time.

when the mercury Is ninety IN the shade.
And the hammock In quiet nook Is swayed
In the glade.
When the bird with gaping bill
Drinks the sunshine to distil
Into song whene'er he will
That's the time and place TO
A blushing mad.
Though most any other time and place will do
When the autumn scar lie laid upon the land.
And the lazy ocean laps the shifting strand
Where you stand
And the daisies droop and die
Droop like blushing maiden's eye
Who Is kissed upon the sly
That's the time and place to ak
A maiden's hand,
Though 'moet any time Is suited to the task.
When the winter winds. engaged in busiring
strife,
Seem a. natures passions bursting into life;
When are rife
Hoary frost and neecy snow;
When the home-hearth is sgIow,
Like the heart loves hreezes blow
That's the time OF year to wed
A little wife,
Though most any other time will do instead.

Dairy farming adds one dollar per acre
to the value of land, while 1t saves one dol.
lar per acre of the value of land as az ainst
grain inning. This Is two dollars per
cre-good rent. Twenty Of the poorest
mich cows in the country, that two men
can milk In one hour and q half In the
morning and an hour and half in the e.
vening, will pay the wages OF the two hired
hands and furnish groceries for good
sized family, by selling cream at ten cents a
guage. The skim milk will raise twenty
hogs that will be worth six dollars each
Sl20; and to this may be added $500 worth
of calves, as clear profit over and above
the crop raised by the two hired men.

take results at the end Of the year.

Look over the market reports and note
the price of butter. You will see that
there is difference of nearly 400 per cent
in the price of the highest and lowest.
Then put this in your pipe and smoke it:
The poorest butter costs just as much In
milk, cream and attendant expense to make
it, as did the best. The men who make the
poor butter will tell you they can't afford
to take dairy paper, they can't afford to
buy god ores mer, they cant afford to
know better and do better, but they can af-
ford to sell their butter 400 per cent less
