FEEDIHG FOR EGGS.

The profit of a poultry yard de-
ponds to a great extent on how 1t
is managed. The idea should be to
make every fowl pay as large a
profit as possible. Therei is a great
difference in markets, and one
should be governed by them for
instance, in one market there is
more demand for eggs than fowls.
Then it should be the business OF
the breeders to cater to that trade.
As a rule, think there is more
profit in eggs than fowls, unless
they are early spring broilers,
With proper care and feed, one can
increase the number of eggs to a
great extent. Hens cannot lay or
produce eggs unless their food
contains the elements of which the
egg is composed. That is, a large
share of albuminOus or egg.prO-
ducing elements. BY making a
chemical analysis of the different
grains, you will find that wheat
contains a larger amount OF al
bumen than any other grain.
Therefore it is the grain to make
the base for reproducing food.
The other important items are
when fowls do not have a large
field to range in, to give them once
day, ifpossible, a feed of chopped
meat and more or less green food.
Chickens are like the human family
in one respect-in that they like
change in food. AS proof, take
fowls that have been fed on one
kind Of grain for some time, and
do not seem to have the appetite
that they should have, give them
little cooked food, such as a cake
made from coarse corn meal and
scraps together, or some other
grain than that which you have
been feeding, and You will see that
they will jump for it and eat it in a
style that will be satisfactory to the
most exacting. While wheat is
one of the best feeds for producing
eggs, il is one of little value
for fattening purposes, compared
with corn, as corn con tains a great
deal of fatty or oily substance,
which puts the flesh on fowls in a
very short time. Pure water is also
a very essential item to the health
of fowls; or if you have milk to
spare, that is better still, as it not
only moistens the food, but also
contributes albumen, which goes
to the formation of the egg

YOUE6 MAN, 60 SOUTH.

A correspondent of the Reading
Times is trying to induce the young
men of the er.crOwded industrial
centres of Pennsylvania to settle
in Virginia, instead of turning
their steps TO the distant West.
The convenience of that State to
the markets of the North, its
generally incomplete agricultural
development, the superiority of its
soil for such staples as wheat and
tobacco, and the low price at which
land can be bought, are advanced
as arguments in favor of an i'm.
migration movement to the State
just south Of the Potomac.
While Virginia combines with
the above advantages a climate the
mildness of which is equaled only
by more remote southern States,
It is by no means the only one that
offers tempting inducements to
young men desiring to strike out
for themselves. West Virginia is
more sparely settled, and as a con.
sequence land is cheaper, while the
mineral wealth indicated ia enor.
nous and well distributed and the
soil possesses all the elements of
fertility. Eastern Kentucky is less
developed, but not naturally in
feriOr to the prosperous western
counties of that State. Tennessee
and North Carolina also contain
many thousands of square miles of
land which would enrich their
owners if cleared and cultivated
with the energy which everyone
who talks of going two thousand
miles West expects to take with
him.
The comparative convenience of
all the near Southern States to the
markets of the Eastern and Middle
States ought to count for a great
deal in the making up of young
mans mind as to where he shall
settle. Then, too, it costs so much
less to reach the undeveloped re-
gions of the older States than to
20 to the new West that tho tide of
immigration is sure to have a
decided southwark flow sooner or
later. There is room and need for
a good many young men in the
near South.-Philadelphia Times.

We admonish our readers who
have not yet taken upon themselves
the trouble, or rather we should
say the pleasure, Of making them
good family fruit garden, to lose
ne more time in doing so. Moth
ing adds more to the comfort and
pleasure of home life than a liberal
supply Of the various kinds and
varieties of fruits. An acre Of
ground enclosed with good picket
fence to keep out all stock and
we'll set in apples, pears, peaches,
plums, cherries and some Of all the
small fruits from strawberries to
the latest raspbernes, &C., all for
family use alone, and selected to
cover the entire fruit season, is
worth more even from the 6rst
year TO the farmer ana MS family
than any other acre of ground on
his farm. We mean it can be made
50 with no more time, labor and ex-
pense than is usually bestowed up
on cotton, peanuts, or tobacco.
From the first ripe strawberry in
May around to May again, the
farmer NAV enjoy the luxury Of
q constant succession Of fruit, and
green fruits, too, not merely dried,
preserved, picked, jammed or can
ned, good as these are to have in a
family, but green fruits, or rather
fruit in its natural state Of ripeness,
which is much better, and may and
should be had by the farmer year
in and year out.-Rural Messenger,
Petersburg.
