OATS FOR LAYING HENS.

Oats are excellent for hens, espe-
cially if fed in connection with grass.
During the summer there is no
necessity for feeding an exclusive
grain diet, but if oats + given
plentifully the hens will lay without
becoming too fat, The supposition
hat oats. when eaten, swell in the
crop and do damage is not true.
Any kind of grain will swell, but as
the fowls begin to lessen the guam
tity of food in the crop as soon as
it is full there is room enough for
the oats to swell, but it is doubtful
if even moisture enough is taken
to swell them, as some kinds of food
are preferred in a dry condition.
The dry oats are excellent, but if
they are buried in the ground, and
allowed to sprout they undergo a
chemical change of composition, and
will be greedily scratched up and
devoured-Fdrm, Field and Stock

LITTLE BY LITTLE.

Little by little the time goes by
Long if you sing through it, long if you
sigh;
Little by little-an hour a day,
Gone with the years that have vanished
away;
Little by little the race is un,
Trouble, and waiting, and toll are done!
Little by little the skies grow clear;
Little by little the sun comes near;
Little by little the days smile out
Gladder and brighter on pain and doubt
Little by little the seed we SOW
Into a beautiful yield will grow.
Little by little the world grows strong,
Fighting the battle of right and wrong,
Little by little the wrong gives way,
Little by little the right has sway.
Little by little all longing souls
Struggle up nearer the shining goals!
Little by little the good in men
Blossoms in beauty for human ken.
Little by little the angels see
Prophecies better of good to be;
Little by little the God of all
Lifts the world nearer His pleading call

ARTIFICIAL CHICKEN RAISING.

The advantages of the use of in
cubators over sitting hens are well
understood: they can be made to
work early in the winter and spring
when brooding hens are scarce;
they can be relied upon to turn out
a chicken for almost every fertile
egg, and the artificial brooder cal
be relied on to grow healthy chicks,
free from vermin. The essentials
for success in this business are not
very different from those required
for success in caring for a green
house or hot bed. One must give
his attention to the thing and not
forget it; a few hours neglect at the
right time would easily spoil a
months work and many dollars
worth of eggs, but reasonable care
and attention and the use of a fair
amount of common sense will enable
any intelligent person to acquire
the needful experience to insure
cce The difficulty is not over
however, when the chickens or
ducklings leave the shell at first he
puts them under hens for brooding
purposes, but soon discovers that
with an artificial brooder he could
real more chickens and healthier
ones than with the old hen; in fact
upon his premises and upon those
Of many of his neighbors who are
following his lead, the hen is only
valuable as an egg-producing ma
chine to supply the incubator or the
market with eggs. A very essential
item in the bill Of fare for young
chicks and ducks is some kind OF
green vegetable, the refuse lettuce,
dandelions or cabbage leaves of the
market gardener, chopped onions,
cabbages and other vegetables are
excellent, and a little meat occasion
ally. They need to be fed often,
four or five times a day, and if they
can be given milk to drink it will
help along their growth very much.
Above all things encourage them to
run out i'm the sunshine whenever
the weather will permit; fthe snow

as to give them a chance to run,
which is very important. After
May LIST the brooding can best be
done in the open air with a suitable
machine. The chicks need no brooder
after they are five or six weeks old,
and the ducks need far less brood
ing than the chickens.-Fdrm, Field

GOOD ADVICE.

In the pocket-book of Hon. Ste
phen Allen, who was drowned when
the Henry Clay was buried on
the Hudson several years since
vas found a printed slip, appar-
antly cut from newspaper of which
the following isacopy. tits worthy
to be engraved on every young mans
heart:
"Make few promises. Always
speak the truth. Never speak evil
of any one. Keep good company or
none. Live up to your engagements.
Never play a game of chance. Drink
no kind of Intoxicating liquors.
Good character is above all things
else. Keep your own secrets if you
have any. Never borrow money if
you car possibly help it. Do not
marry until you are able to support
a wife. Keep yourself innocent if
you would be happy. When you
speak to a person, look him in the
face. Make no haste to be rich if
you would prosper. Ever live (mis-
fortune excepted) within your
income. Save when you are young to
spend when you are old. Avoid
temptation, through fear you may
not be able to withstand it. Never
run in debt, unless you see a way to
get out again. Small and steady
gains give competency with a tran
quill mind. Good company and good
conversation are the sinews ofvirtue.
Your character cannot be essentially
injured except by your w acts.
If any one speak evil Of you, let
your life be SO that none will believe
him. When you retire to bed, think
over what you have done duringthe
day. Never be idle; if your hands
can't be usefully employed attend
to the cultivation Of your mind.
Read over the above maxims
carefully and thoughtfully at least
once a week"

announced that the Government had de-

themselves as sanguine Of the success OF

MIR. Gladstone declared that he would
