Blight.

About two months ago, while in Leon
county, Florida, boarded with very in
telligent gentleman, who owned large
orchard Of LeConte pear trees badly affected
with the blight. Lake Miccosukie was
abut l Il miles distant, and the shore of its
deep basin as feet was strewn with the re.
mains OF large trout, which had persisted
when the water became too seaRnant TO sup
port the life Of this fine fish. Contrary to
the published reports in the newspapers, not
a white or colored farmer had availed HIM
self Of the opportunity to secure a cheap
fertilizer. Besides the decaying fish, there
were about 5000 acres of dry muck, 4 feet
deep, readily accessible to teams for hauling
to the fields. / told the gentleman men,
toned that l was satisfied if be would
manure his trees richly with
these fish they would suffer less from blight.
On my way home l was informed by a
farmer at Lake Park. Ga, that those Of his
LeConte pear trees growing in his hog in
closure had never suffered from the disease.
A few days ago came across the following
article which / had made from the New
York Sun many years ago. It bears upon
the subject and will be OF interest to the
large number Of pear growers in Georgia
and Florida whose orchards are being
ruined by the blight. A. OEMLER.

Hens melting to-day in three moons
will lay. In other words, it takes a hen
about ninety days to sned her feathers.
Hence, when you buy hens for winter
layers see whether they are noting or
are about to do 80. II they have shed their
feathers so much the better. Eggs can be
counted on earlier, and as rule the eggs
laid before Feb. bring the most money.
Sluggish birds, however large they may be,
should not be bought. They will eat and
eat and not get ready to lay until the great
mass Of mediocre fowls are pulling down

Soft food is not natural to birds-that
is, wet and sloppy materials-as nature
provides them with the means of reducing
the hardest substances. We have fed hens
on glass, broken flint pounded china and
other substances. but the gizzard ground
them down to an impalpable powder. Hard,
sharp, substance assist the giEzard In grind
ing food, and the process is such as TO pass
the food slowly into the digestive organs
When the crop is filed with soft food the
work Of the gizzard is lessened and the proc
ess of forwarding the food too rapid, the
result being indigestion. 1t NAV be noticed
that when a full meal of ground grain Is
given, the hens at once retire to the roost
or some selected place, where they remain

As is well known, large quantities Of eggs
come into this country from France, and 10
order to keep up the supply Asiatic fowls
have been introduced there, and now we
have tinted-shelled eggs from chat country
where at one time nothing but white-shelled
eggs were known. This example must be
followed if breeders on this side are to
properly face the matter, and hence the
demand for breeds which are. above ALL
winter layers. AT the present time there is
q steady increasing demand for Plymouth
Rocks, Langshans and Wyandottes especi-
ally, and generally for all Asiatic type Of
fowl.
