Feed for La wing Hens.

The very worst food for laying hens is
corn either whole or in the shape of meal,
and yet it is tho food most generally used in
the southern poultry yard. 1t is the prin~
cipal grain in the south, and consequently it
is the handiest and cheapest food to be had
The objection to corn is that it is too fatten-
ing-too rich III carlo hydrates and deficient
in those elements that are most suited TO
egg-production. For fattsning poultry for
the table corn is the very thing to feed them
on, but when we seek TO have the hons Law
all the eggs possible for them to lay we
must resort to those materials that have
been found from experience to be the most
suitable for food.
The grains of wheat and oats mixed in
about equal parts should be the chief food
of laying hens From October to April
they should receive of this mixture as much
as they will eat up clean three times day.
In very cold weather a warm muSh-as hot
as they can bear it-composed of two parts
wheat bran and one part corn meal can be
given TO advantage in the early mornings.
Some effort should be made to supply them
with some green food. II there are no rye,
barley or oat patches TO supply this collard
leaves or turnips are excellent for the pur-
pose.
Laying hens should also have constant
supply OF bone meal provided in dry places
for them to pick as they may feel the need
OF it.
Clam or oyster shells ground up fne-they
can DO pulveriZed With a hammers a
most excellent addition TO the materials for
making eggs. A shallow box of it should
be kept in reach Of the hens where they can
take 1t as they may want 1t. Ground bone
and pulyerized oyster shells supply the
necessary material that enters into toe she'll
OF the egg. In the spring and summer the
hens can gsther all Of this usually in the
fields, but in the winter it is necessary to
provide it for them If you would have them
turn out the eggs daily. You have no need
to buy "egg foods" that are advertised il
you will only feed the fowls the substances
above menti Toned.

Brown W. White Eggs.

The prejudice in favor Of the brown egg,
says writer in the american CHitiUdtor,
is particular whim of this and some other
markets in the eastern states. Like many
other whims it has some Foundation. Ii is
not the color of the shell that makes the
egg better, but the fact that those breeds
which lay the brown eggs are the larger
kinds which fatten easily, ana are rather
careful not to wear off any superauous
flesh by much eIertion. The Brahmas-
Cochins, Langshans, plymouth Rocks and
Wyandottes arc the ones that furnish the
dark -colored eggs, ard the eggs are supposed
to be richer or contain more Dutriment than
that OF the lean one. The LeghorHs, Span
ish, Polands, Hamburgs and other small and
active breeds which like white-shellcd eggs
are supposed to make q greater part OF their
living by foraging. and get more insects,
which do not make the egg either as nutri-
tious or as finely favored as the corn which
is given to the larger breeds. which are more
frequently confined to the yards. But in
grain-growing states the preference is the
other way. They lay white shelled egg.
and for the same reason; the breeds which
lay the whipe-shelled eggs roam more, and
get the gleanings from the grain fields, and
probably do, at the season between wheat
cutting and thresning, get more heterogeneous
grain food than the less active kinds which
lay the brown-shelled eggs 1t is the food
given which decides the quality of the egg,
and not the color OF the she'll, and the Leg
horn, kept in close quarters and corn fed,
will furnish eggs as fine favored and as rich
as any OF the larger breeds. 1t will also lay
"a greater number Of eggs, and we believe a
larger weight III a year. We have seen the
statement that well-kept black Spanish
fowl would furnish more pounds OF eggs in
a year than any Other breed. and our expert
ence leads us to believe that statement.
Their eggs are very large, with very white
shell and heavy, rich yolk. Onions fer
mented swIll food or tainted meat or fish
will iniure the flavor OF the eggs as surely
as bad food given to COW will hurt the
quality of the milk which she gives.

a Model Speech Maker.

FROM inc Now YORK sun, DEM.
General Harrison has evidently started
upon his journey with the intention of
doing his full duty as On orator. At
every stop of the Presidential train
is a speech from the platform of the
gorgeous Vacuna. At the present rate
OF delivery the rhetoric of the entire
trip of $3.50 miles will at least mount
to thrice the volume of all tho Ire
vious speeches, published letters.
and State papers of benjamin Harrison
since he entered public life. But what
speeches they are, thus far! 1t is q
pleasure to read them. Nothing short
OF the extreme of partisan unfairness
can find in the little Pullman orations
anything to ridicule or despise.
Candor cOmpelS the statement that at
the tail end of the Vacuna, surrounded
by the hundreds and thousands Of his
fellow citizens, who throng to inspect
the wonders of the Presidential train,
and to gaze upon tho nations Chief
Magistrate, General Harrison is at his
very bost. Whether prepared carefully
in advance, or eXtemporareously cX-
c~oginatcd, his occasional remarks along
the route have boon nearly faultless.
Modest i'll tone, interesting in matter,
local in their application while general
in their character, lively without being
sensational, moderate without being
commonplace, full of ideas. consistent
without being m%onotonous, excellcntly
aud often e%loqucntly expressed. they
deserve recognition by political friends
and enemies alike as models of Pullman
platform oratory,
1t is as if General Harrison had en-
braced the present opportunity to ex-
hibit himself and the capabilities OF his
intellect to the people of the United
States in a new aspect. Other Prcsi-
dents before him have tried the same
experiment in the same way. Few, if
any. OF tho n~avigators Of the great po-
litical circle have succeeded SO we'll as
