The hens that lay extremely small
mime or else prematurely old. The
pproduction of such eggs frequently goes
before absolute sterility, and in fact the
hens are sterile so far as chickens are
concerned ,forthe eggs are abortiye and lat
least theYery small ones, will not hatch.
When young hens lay such, the cause
is almost invariably too high feeding,
and the cure of course the reverse.
There is no chance of recovery in the
case of old fowls.
With the disuse of wood fires there
is a smaller supply of ashes on most
farms, and this may in part account for
the difficulty in growing fruit. No more
profitable use of wood ashes can be
made than in apple or other fruit or
chards. 1t is best applied early in the
spring, that it may be washed into the
soil. Where wood ashes cannot be had
in quantity, the German potash salts
are the best substitute, and a quantity
should be got now for use in the sprin g
around all fruit trees.-EI.

There is no enemy to the wheat plant
so dangerous as another wheat plant
contesting with it for light and room in
the struggle for existence. Both want
the same food when there is not enough
for both. The result is a puny growth,
however the field may be fertilized The
same is true of oats and barley. Farm
erS will understand the bad effects of
too thick stand of corn in diminish
ing the grain yield. Three stalks in a
hill give more sound corn than a greater
number of stalks, and with some Yarie-
ties even two stalks will yield more than
three. The same fact holds true with
regard to small grain.-Er.
1t is common fault with many
amateur gardeners that they attempt to
raise too many kinds of ornamental
plants. They are attracted by the
pleasing descriptions in seed catalogues,
and order fifteen or twenty species of
plants which they never tried before.
They are most always sure to be disap-
pointed in a good part of them, from
their own lack of time and knowledge
IN managing them. To get the most en-
Joyment from flowers, they should give
as little anxiety as possible. 1t is wiser
10 learn to cultivate one plant we'll than
70 half grow g dozen different kinds.
Try only two or three new sorts each
year, and get well acquainted with them
before trying other sorts.-Ef.
