How to Get Eggs In Winter.

When hens fail to lay in the wen.
ter, it is because they are not fairly
treated. Suitable feed and shelter
should start pullets in laying this
month, and be kept up steadily
through the cold season. The diff
erence in the actual cost of keeping
over in good condition for laying,
and of keeping them in a halfway
condition, ought not to be above a
fraction of the increase in the in
come that attends good care,
through the high prices winter eggs
always command.
To induce winter laying, rests
chiefly, but not wholly with the
feeding. The staple food of Indian
corn is unequalled for furnishing
heat and fat but is deficient in al.
bumen and phosphates. For some
breeds like the Asiatics it is rather
too fattening. Wheat is more
perfect food, rs it is also perferred
by fowls, when they have a choice

Piles taught by Zerdusht or Zoroaster.
The flre-woIshipers who remained were
mostly driven out of the country by per-

veneration for freight. 1t is worthy of
note that the more intelligence of the

Winter Work.

Winter work should not be so
thorough-g going and pushing as to
conflict with that rest and relaxa
ton which we advise for every man.
Two general lines of work may be
suggested: looking toward perman-
nentimprovementof the place, which
work includes: undertaking,
sinking or blasting large rocks,
Strengthening crooked water courses
hauling material, preparing fencing
and no on. The other would be in
the direction of adancing prepara-
tons for Summer campaign of rout-
inc farm work, as hauling or burn
ing lime, getting manure from the
towns or villages, repairing imple-
ments, securing a years supply of
Land the thousand and other
things which will readily present
themselves to the thoughtful farmer.
All this will help balance up the
years work for men and teams, re-
lieving them from destructive over
wear in Summer, and equally DIES
tructive idleness in NVenter. Think
It out, and act it out.

Malne's Starch Manufacture.
INDUSTRIAL JOURNAL.

l1NDuSThlAL JOUhNAL.J
There are some thirty five factor.
les in Maine engaged in the bust
ness ofIiaking starch from potatoes,
all but two or three being in Aroos-
took county. These factories, it is
safe to say, willcOnsume not far from
1900, 1000 bushels of potatoes and
produce about 5000 tons or 10000,
600 pounds of starch during the
season of 1885. To compare this
with the starch production of the
country. it may be said that the
bulk of the starch used comes from
Indian corn-wheat being used to
a limited amount, and potatoes to
a considerable extent, Maine being
the largest producer of potato starch
The Scientific American places the
consumption of starch for all pur-
poses in the United States at about
100000, 600 pounds per annum, or
an average of three pounds for each
person. II these figures are approx
imately correct, Maine produces ten
per cent. of the starch consumption
of the country. For the year ending
July l, 1888, the exports of starch
of all kinds from the United States
to 7,O33,715 pounds.
There are twenty-four factories in
the United States manufacturing
starch from corn, but of their total
production we are ignorant. Indi-
ana is the leading state in the pro-
of corn starch, having eight
factories and producing more than
one. third of the total amount made.
