To Prevent CIucking.

Many cruel expedients, says the Farmer and
Stock Breeder. are resOrted TO by country
people TO prevent hens clucking when they
wish TO set and hatch, such as dipping them
overhead in water for a few seconds, pulling
feathers from parts of the body combining
,hem together under "A tub for days without
food, and other barbarties-all alike ineiec-
tual
When more than one hen is confined under
a clucking tub-which is set with It's mouth
raised little from the ground, allowing as
much light as TO let the hens see each other
they fight until their scalps are barred TO the
bone and one of them Is probably pecked
and trampled TO death.
Some writers recommend the hens TO be in
dulged in their desire for Matching, but as
most LAYING hens have a desire TO set when
the ovarium for the time is empted OF It's
contents the number OF broOds would be IN
creased beyond the powers of the household
10 superintend them with the requisite care.
A hen setting without eggs will set till she III
lures herself.
A humane method of suppressing clucklng
is to put a single hen under a small tub, high
enough TO let her stand up and perforated
with holes for air. and to deprive her of food
and water for two days and nights. or even
more Or she may be placed IN coop with
barrel floor so that she will not find place
comfortable enough TO encourage the Droodl-
ness. A hen will lay eggs when she is tend
ing her brood, and she will choose nest Tor
herself but if her nest be known, although
the eggs be removed, the desire Tor setting
will come upon her at the time.

Marriage Statistics.

II has become the fashion for some people

sequence the marriage rate is fast falling of,
and that vice and immortality are on the in

which show the American maintenance of
the marriage relation Is the last report Of the
board of health of New York city.
The pessimistic theory would be true
in New York, if anywhere, with Chi
cagO and Oshkosh possibly excepted The
city annually receives a large addition to its
population from foreigners already married.
and there is a steady emigration of It's young
unmarried men TO the West. Add TO these
the fact that records of marriage are in gen.
eral badly neglected and it Is plain that the
marriages recorded fall far short Of the num-
Der solemnized which is true of every city and
county in the country. But the marriage rate
in the American metropolis. with all these
drawbacks, is kept above the general average.
During the past year it was $50 TO each 1000
Of the population. Germany Is the
only European country IN which
that rate is excelled. The marriage rec
ords of European countries, like all other
records. are very carefully kept and thus the
full rate is shown. Germany shows 8.S5 in
the 1000, in Austria it Is 500 Holland, $40;

shows that during the last three months Of
the year there were 1906 marriages IN
that city. About One-siXth of the girls
entering the marriage relation were

about one-twentieth of the men We're widow

men are more given % matrimony second

The Weight OF Eggs.

The Prairie Farmer says: The specific gra-
witty of a new-ad egg varies from l.OoO TO
1880: an egg, therefore, is heavier than sea
water, the specific gravity. Of which is 1880
When kept. eggs rapidly lose weight and be-
come specifically lighter than water-this IS
owing to the diminution in bulk OF the con-
tents of the egg, the consequence OF which IS
that portion of the inside OF the egg comes
to be filed with air.
Prout kept an egg two years and found that
il lost weight daily at an average rate OF
O IA grains. The original weight was 1918
Grains. and after two years exposure to the
atmosphere it weighed only $685. grains.
The total loss amounted to 5443 grains, or
considerably more than half the original
weight. The loss in summer was somewhat
greater than in winter. owing. no doubt, TO
the difference of temperature. When an egg

When an egg is boiled in water it loses
weight, particularly if il be removed from
the water when boiling and be permitted
to cool in the open air. The water will be
found to contain portion of the saline con-
sttuents of the egg. The loss of the weight
from boiling is not constant, varying from
twenty TO thirty grains, supposing the orig

General BENJAMIN f. Butter is at work upon

ment reading over the records and taking
notes. HIS contribution TO the history Of the
war will be the last one by leading generals
on the Union side. 10 will be in some respects

OF 1865. 10 is elaborate. and II Is unsparing

acknowledged to produce the greatest per

do not believe contrary to the opinions of
some, that corn will produce eggs and lots OF
them especially in winter. Feed beef scraps

Saving MnnuTe.

Successful gardening, says the Western
Rural, means plentiful application of fertil-
izers. and. indeed, there should be more at
tention given TO saving manure on the farm
than is now bestowed. Our land IS mostly
very fertile naturally, but manure does not
hurt any land, and the time will come when
either we or those who come after us must
fertiize the land. But the garden needs ma
nure, and we would raise the best garden
crops.
In the first place, we should have a barn
yard that is fitted for saving the manure. If
the yard is one that permits all the drainage
to run waste we shall lose good deal. The
drainage should be taken care Of somehow,
it being left TO the individual judgment in each
case as how best to do that. Then. in piling
up manure, it is much better 10 put 1t into a
fat heap. If you pile horse manure on to a
high, loose place fermentation will be excess
sive and a vast deal of ammonia will be
wasted. If ii is put into fiat pile the pro
cess of fermentation can be regulated, TOR
when it is too great the pile can be trodden
down. That will check fermentation.
