How Many Eggs win a Hen Lay?

Farm ana OaTOeD.
We often read of hens that lay 200 eggs a year,
but such statements do more harm than good,
by inducing the inexperienced to believe such to
be a fact. Anyone who is familiar at all with
poultry knows that during the fall all hens
undergo the process of molting. or shedding of
the feathers. This requires usually about three
months. or one hundred days. AS there are
only 800 days in a year, We have 265 days left
after deducting the melting period. If a hen
lays regularly an egg every other day, she will
lay 1873 eggs; but she will probably lose three
months more in Matching out her broods, and
even if she is a non sitter she will take a resting
spell. AS melting is a heavy drain on the sys-
tenn, but few hens lay during that process,
though there are exceptions, and where the
number Of eggs exceed one every two days it
will be found that a corresponding reduction
occurs during some period of the year. While
we admit that certain individual hens have been
known to lay as many as $50 or even l75 eggs in
a year, such cases are rare; and If one has a
flock of twenty hens, or more, he should De sat
isfied if there is an average of 100 eggs a year
for the whole flock, or rather nine dozen. Four
dozen out of the nine should realize 80 cents per
dozen, three dozen should bring about 20 cents
per dozen, and two dozen should realize Is cents
per dozen, or an average of about % cents. OF
course, this calculation may be wrong, but it
will convey an idea Of what may be expected.

Can the Apple Be Raised with Profit?

V1ck's NagaZlne.
The important question which our Northern
fruit-growevs have now to decide is in regard to
the apple. Can it be raised with proft9 We
cannot, at present, examine the question in de-
tail, but it may be said that the planting of
apple orchards has greatly fallen off for a few
years past; many have been neglected and left a
prey to insects, mainly for the reason. perhaps,
that some seasons of unfortunate weather'have
prevailed for awhile, and left as without a crop
until last year; and for the same cause some have
even cut down their orchards. This course is
wrong. and a few years more will make it plain.
We shall always need the apple in abundance;
no othir fruit can wholly take its place. With
tho present low rate of orchard planting the
demand for good apples will soon exceed the
supply, no matter what other fruits are in the
market.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
A Continued Activity-A Belief the Turning
Point to Better Times Is Upon Us.

oAA ~ ~ AhAAt ~ SPoh oSs
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. II.
Merchants arc cheerful. There has a healthier
tore to trade sprung up in the last few days, and
the belief is quite general that the darkest bust
ness DAYS of the year have passed. and that the
remaining months of the year, while no boom is
expected, will be a decided improvement over
the preceding months of 1885. In commenting
on business prospects, the Philadelphia Inquirer
says: 1--WE are passin G through a period when
recreation, rather than industrial activity, is the
business of a considerable portion of the Amer
can people. Many farmers are temporarily rest
ing, after severe harvest labors, while vast num-
bers of city residents are enjoying annual vaca-
tions. Yet a deep interest in the commercial,
financial and manufacturing prospects of the near
future exists everywhere. 1t may be too early
to declare that a turning point in an era of
depression has been reached in connection
with all typical pursuits, but there is little
doubt that prevailing tendencies are strongly ia
that direction. The measure of prosperitv
vouehsafed to different sections, individuals and
vocations always varies TO some extent. and
relief may come to certain quarters and be de-
MED to others, but IN a majority of circles the
dominant feelings are more hopeful than those
which recently prevailed, and it is probable that
the coming fall transactions will be- regarded "A

the real condition of tho country. So far az the
foreign trade of the United States affects the
situation. hopeful auguries may be drawn from
a large favorable balance established during the
fiscal year ended June 80. The value of the
imports was materially decreased, while the
value of the exports WAS slightly increased. as
compared with the previous year. We bought
our sugar and coffee at exceptionally low prices.
but in turn sold breadstuffs and provisions at
exceedingly low rates. and a number of Western
and Northwestern districts suffered severely
from the extraordinary decline in the value of
their products. The great Southern staple,
cotton, commanded a higher average ex-
port price in I884-5 than in the
previous year, and as a large quantity was sent
abroad. many of the Southern agricultural in
terests should now be in a better condition than
usual. The prospect that the winter wheat crop
of the present year will fall far below the aver
age yield, while the spring wheat crop is COM
paratively large, has had an inspiriting effect in
a number OF spring wheat districts which were
severely stricken by the course of events last
