sition:

tea raised in this country with which
the foreign tea must compete; and hence
the importer must add the amount Of

be impracticable to make . barnyard
what it should be without roofing it,
nevertheless it can be greatly improved.
The barn! I'D should not be basin to
collect the water which falls upon the
outbuildings. Unless the water from
these buildings Is needed for filling cfs-
terms, it should be carried away in
drains. Such drains are very important
In level location for drying the ground
about the premises, and into these the
water from tho roofs should be conducted.
These are much better than open drains
because they do not become obstructed.
In this way the barnyard will be kept
from drawing water into it which falls
beyond its boundary.
The watering trough is usually located
In one corner of the barnYard, and
during the winter the mud will become
DO deep around It that stock cannot have
access to it without difficulty, unless
this is prevented by the use OF stone and
gravel. The best way is to pave the
ground with small bOulders. These
should be from four to six inches in
length, and should be placed on their
ends and very closely together. After
this layer of smaller stones should be
spread over it, and above this q coat of
gravel II gravel is not available q few
loads Of surface clay will make substi-
tute. Perhaps 1t would be advisable to
construct passage of the same material

side toward the prevailing winds. Such
protection is more necessary for open
regions, but there Is scarcely yard
where stock must stand during the day
that will not be much more comfortable
II such break is provided. Less than
. dozen Norway spruces will effect this
purpose, II planted in the right place,
and they will be ornamental as well as
useful.
The fences around the barnyard should
be built Of posts and planks, and should
not be less than four and one half feet in
height, and q greater height would be
still better. This requires large posts,
which should be deeply set II the fence
is made high In this way barb wire can
be stretched above the top plank with
safety, and this will prevent the animals
from gnawing it and also check their
propensity to push over 1t. This will
prevent rubbing against the fence, which
in time is sure to push it from perpen-
dicular line.
A lump of rock salt should be kept In
a trough in the BARNARD, unless the
animals are freely salted in their stables.

have scarcely credited her with earning
her food and shelter. In flock selected
and cared for so as to produce 100 epr.
per year. one-half of these during The
cold season, setting the average winter
price at 20 cents and summer price Mt
12H cents. the income ought to be about
81 per hen per year. To secure winter
eggs hens must be carefully sheltered
which reliable authority states can he
done 1t an expense of 81 per hen. The
interest on this will be about 8 cents mar
hen for the first year. II we are genor.
Gus and allow 81 per year for feed, inter.
est on shelter, wear and tear and risk.
we still have 81 per year net profit Der
hen. This certainly ought to satisfy any
one Tor the necessary trouble of looking
after flock of,ffty to 100, and addition of
this amount to the annual income would
add many comforts to the home and
ought not to be neglected.
Egg Laying Type.
And now we have the eeg-laying type
OF hens. We have had q full discussion
Of the milk and type of cows. the trotting
and draft type of horses and different
types OF other animals. The long and
short OF the whole thing is that an
animal taking after given type is sup
posed to be better adapted for the pur-
pose which that type is supposed to rep
resent. J. ID. Tompkins, . weli.known
breeder Of Silver Wyandots. tells in the
Fdnc5eyY J0lsTndl'what he thinks should
be the shape Of the ideal laying hen. He
says to avoid long necks and legs. for
they are not - good for laying or for the
table as those having shorter necks and
legs The ideal hen should have broad,
deep. round body of moderate length,
but should not be too chunky. The
thoroughbred poultry industry is begin
ming to receive q good deal Of merited
attention and in few years American
poultry will be sought for the same as
are American trotting horses. If breed
ers will select q type and stick to 1t.
they will greatly improve the breed and
get class of birds that will bring SO to
$25 where they now sell for 81 q mongrel
thoroughbred Of unknown breeding.
Fssd for Eggs.
An egg Is largely heterogeneous 1he
white is slbumen, the yolk contAfas
phosphoric acid ana mineral substances
and the shell is composed mostly OF lime.
The hen is . small animal. Eggs are not
q miraculous dispensation, as they come
from the food hen gets and converts
into egg, the same as any animal con-
verts its food into products. Corn alone
is not suitable food for the production
of eggs, as 1t does not possess enough Of
the constituents to make eggs Hens
fed on such food will get fat. Hens, like
every other animal, must have coarse
food to distend the stomach and bowels
and for this purpose cut clover hay and
cabbage are largely fed by many. These
also contain material to make eggs.
Skimmilk is also just the thing for an
egg food. To get eggs, feed hens to pro-
duce eggs.-[Col. F. D. Curtis. Kirby

Rio Grande Western Finances.

The predictions made a few months ago,
says the New York Journal OF Finance,
regarding the Rio Grande Western are
materializing even sooner than expected.
For the ten months OF the fiscal year the
gross earnings have been 81, 900. AL, as COM
pared with 81, 303, 404 for the corresponding
ten months OF the fiscal year Of 1889 80, an
increase of S6l1, 067. The net earnings for
the ten months were S142, oil. against GAS,
$50, for the corresponding period last year.
an increase of S293, 43l. The appropriated
gross earnings for the month of May just
elapsed are Sl9S, 600, as compared with $50,
40 tor MAY, 1890, an increase Of $4S. 400, or
about 81 per cent.
This showing of earnings is not far from
being phenomenal and the increases are
being maintained. IL is estimated that the
net earnings for May will be over $50, 900
as compared with $780, l1 last May. The
Rio Grande Western has done SO well in
the past and the prospects for the future
are so bright thatit is expected in the best
informed quarters that for the fiscal year
endingi June 80, 1892, the road can earn
and pay a good dividend to the common
stock. Among the railroads in this country
which have been changed from a narrow TO
broad or standard guage, the Rio Grande
Western is about the only one which is
paying its original subscribers the rate
agreed TO when the road was first built
The road is free from floating debt and the
bonds are selling at about 7615: the pre-
ferred stock, which pays 5 per cent. divi-
dends, sells at 20, and the common at IS.
