A prominent Louisiana planter says
be has good reason to asse that the
QUEEN and Crescent railroad managers
contemplate building a branch rail-
road to run south from Tallulah, La,
through the Roundaway bayou, via
Newell's Ridge ard Lake st. Joseph
county. # built, this road will be
about thirty miles long and will tap
one of the richest cotton regions in
Louisiana, reaching the entire route,
except about three miles, through well
improved and established plantations,
and it will be not only great feeder
to the Vicksburg, Shreveport and
Texas road, but of great value to
Nicksburg.

Professor I. P. Roberts has two strong OBJ
icctions to wood for stable floors. It is not
durable, either rotting or wearing out In q
short time, making it sometimes dangerous
to the animals and expensive to renew; sec.
'ond its capacity for absorbing stable liquids
readers it offensive and unwhosone. AS q
substitute he recommends cement. For
ground floors begin below frost and lay II
foundation with any large stones, ramming
them down we'll. Level up by filling in
smaller ones till an elevation is reached for u
gutter rand the platform the animals are to
stand on. The small stones should be secured
By a cement of one part Portland cement and
ment made of one part Portland cement ana
two Earts sharp sand, and these same proper
tons should he observed in laying al inc
floor above the small stones. The only wood
he would tolerate about the floor would be
enough to cover the platform on which tho
stock must stand. He would have stock
stand on wood rather than on cement, be-
cause it is more comfortable. The plank
u ouli be hrId in pace by mailing TO ioiStS

used with entire 81. stact0n Il course ofcemcnt

The hens must be we'll fed, and have good,
warm, Clean and well ventilated quarters dur
ing the cold weather. They will lay we'll dur
ing the entire winter, and as soon as it begins
to warm Up they will desire to set.
The hens should be in place where other
hens cannot trouble them by laying In the
same nests.
The eggs should not be placed under her un-
til she has been tested two or three days TO
ascertain If she is in earnest and will stick.
Hens will hatch better if the nests are on
the ground, and In the early saring care must
be had that they areln i A. warm Hns place "hefe
Care must be taken not to give the hen too
many eggs; if SO, al! may be spoiled, while If
she had FEWER all might lie hatchcd. Eleven
is enough for any ordinary.szcd hen to cover
in the SLriug II the nests are made in boxes
and not in contract with the ground, an 1nch
or two Of common Garth placed under the
straw will be beneficial in Keeping the egges
moist. But If the .lests are elevated so that
no moisture can be COTTON from the ground
the eggs should be sprinkled two or three
times week with warm {not hoA water. =.
1t is well to sprinkle some sulphur In the
nests and sometimes rub little through the
feathers, and especially under the wings of
setting hen, in order, to keep her free from
lice. She never will succeed well II she IS
troubled with these pests.
Hens In carly sprinp often break some of
their eggs these should at once be removed,
and the sound eg-s thoroughly washed In Wa;
ter wi:k-warnl, made INFO sUap-sud>, wiped
dry and replaced under the hen, after all the
straw has been removed that was Affected by
the broken eggs.
Tie time Of pacing the eggs under the hen
should bc carefully noted, and on tic twenty
first day they sheuld be examined, for 1t otten
becomes necessary that assistance should be
given the young chicken by removing the
shell, for at this season OF the year the shells
vary much in thickness, some being SO thick
and hard that the chicken can scarcely pierce
them, while others arc SO thin That Wnen
once pierced the weight Of the hen crashes
