trouble is not with one variety more
than another, or one locality more than
others, but a general scarcity OF eggs
everywhere.
Those who have fed we'll from early
fall and have not been sparing of animal
food have succeeded in getting more eggs
than those who let their fowls shift for
themselves. When hens are not laying
there is no danger of over feeding and
getting them too fat. You are safe to
feed strong when you ale getting two
thirds as many eggs as you have hens,
and every flock should average that for
February, March and April. When they
will do that, you can feed 16 to Is quarts
Of soft food at morning meal Ito 100
fOwls) and five quarts of wheat or corn
or six quarts OF oats without fear of get
ting the hens too fat, providing clover
hay is part of the soft feed. When
clover hay is used you are safe in using
one-sixth part of animal meal to an adj
vantage; and just here want to say that
the little book, "The Egg" is misleading
when applied to Florida. 1t says animal
meal takes the place of cracked bone and
shell, while it contains one third bone
the bone is so fine as to render it useless
as a grist or substitute for shell. We
should not th4k of doing away with our
regular supply of shell and cracked bone;
of course we feed the animal meal lib
orally.

They Will Not Lay.

Hens will not lay in cold weather If
reduced to grain and water diet. We
know this, for we have tried it.
In the spring and summer time, when
there is plenty of green stuff and bugs for
the hens, and where the latter bave a
good range, a little grain morning and
evening, is all the feeding required. But
when the grass and theinsects have gone,
then the grain and water diet is
barely enough to keep them alive and in
flir condition. Ii eggs are wanted, sub.
stitutes for the insects and the green food
must be furnished, also exercise to keep
the blood in full circulation, for the idle
listless hen is no good as layer.
Glover hay cut and steamed until soft,
and oats fixed in the same way, will ans
wer for roughness. Then meat scraps
cooked for them two or three times a
week and mess of cooked vegetables as
often.
This diet will make the hens lay if they
are protected from cold. Now the Ques-
ton is, will it pay to feed as indicated, or
will the food cost more than the eggs are
worth? AS to this point each poultry
keeper can try it, keep strict account of
income and expenses and see for himself.
That is the way to Set tie such points.
Here in Tennessee it pays to get eggs in
the winter time, if get them we can, and
it probably pays in most any other
localities. Gazette.

bone cutter We should mix some bone
neal into the moistened broad crumbs
for breakfast, and about three times a
week we sprinkle in q little Sheridan 8
Condition Powder as q cOndimenttoLr O-
mote digestion and good health. We in
tend to vary the food-ration, continually,
within the range here described. For
instance, one day the feed will be bread
crumbs, oatmeal, cracked wheat cracked
corn; the next day, bread crumbs, oat-
meal and chopped mea+, cracked barley,
whole wheat; the next day, bread crumbs,
cut bone, oatmeal, cracked corn and so
on. The rule is to feed only what the
chicks will eat up clean and quickly, but
we break over the rule so far as the last
feed is concerned, and the boy goes
around a second time, twenty to thirty
minutes after feeding, and II it is all eaten
up clean three or four h3Andinls more are
put down, so that ali shall have chance
to "fill up" for the night. If a handful is
left uneaten it quickly disappears in the
morning, and as it is always dry grain it
does not sour, and there is no danger
from leaving a little. Fresh water is
supplied them three times d day and
practically is always by them, so they
can drink az they choose. Grit, in the
shape of screened gravel is also always
by them, and ground oyster shells are
given them about twice q week. AS there
are no trees (save very small apple trees)
on this ridge, we provide a temporary
shelter for shade, making a slanting roof
near each coop. This helps each family
to identity its own home, ana, besides
sheltern from the hot sun, is a shelter
from the rain also, and the feed boards
are put under it in wet weath her.

Eggs Scarce.

From all parts of the State we have
letters complaining of the scarcity of
eggs. All seem to think it is only their
hens that do not lay. Four letters were
received today describing how they fed,
number of fowls, etc., and so few eggs.
Thinking the fault was in feeding. We
can't account for it unless it is the cold
weather. We don't say it is, but that is
the only reason we can conceive of. The

Keep the Chickens Growing.

By the time chicks are six or eight weeks
old the principal dangers OF chickenhoOd
are passed, and painstaking- Watchfulness
and care may be somewhat relaxed. We
must not, however, "et up entirely in
vigilance ii we would have those early
laying pullets that we have found so de-
g ablp we must feed carefully, and 'feed
for growth" i. e., we must supply
nourishing, trengthening food, which will
build up well-nourshed body, healthy,
strong and vigorous; with stores OF
strength to lean upon when the drain OF
egg production has come, and the chill
of autumn and cold of winter are to be
resisted.
Our chicks are cOOped quite near the
dwelling house until they are about six
weeks old About that time we take
away the mother hens, unite two families
in one (of 25 or 3O) and colonize them
in the "a" coOps, each family being fifty
to sixty feet apart, and given free range.
These colonies are spread out over a
gravel-ridge (well ERASED Over) running
north from our poultry houses, and is
bOrdered On one side by moving fields,
and on the other by the COW pasture,
and the chicks do no harm wherever they
go. We said we gave them free range.
We make pens about II feet square, of
sections of foot fence, to cOnfine them
two or three days and get them familiar
with their new home, then take down the
fence and let them range.
The breakfast is bread crumbs, contin-
ued until they are about ten weeks old,
when they are graduated into the morn
ing mash such as we feed to our fowls.
About ten o'clock they have feed OF the
coarsest oatmeal moistened; about half
past one o'clock a light feed OF cracked
wheat or cracked barley, (the latter is a
by-product of cereal mandatory and
an excellent foodl and about five o'clock,
whole wheat or cracked corn, one one
day the other the next day. Twice a
week we have fresh meat butchers trim
mings) cooked and chopped, which is
mixed in with the coarsest Oatmeal
(about half and half) for the second feed.
We have, also, a Mann bone cutter, and
twice or three times a week the chicks
have a good time wrestling and tumb-
ling over each other in their eagerness to
get the fresh cut bone. Not having a

Early Treatment OF Smallpox.

1t was several years ago that Gala
vardin drew the attention of French
practitioners to the advantages of
treating smallpox according to the
plan originally suggested and carried
out by John of Goddesden and Waters.
The treatment in question consisted
simply in keeping the patients abso-
lutely away from all solar light. and
this solar darkness had to be from first
TO last complete and uninterrupted,
otherwise no beneficial results could
be looked for. The same authority has
recently published the results of his
experience with this method covering

of which the heroine is the daughter
of Prince Leopold MAMMALIAN OF Ba-
varia, Princess Augusta Marie Louise.
The princess is ct the Impressions BILE
age of nineteen, and some time ago she
fell in love with handsome young
lieutenant in the light cavalry. The
match was OF course, unacceptabl to
the royal parents, and the lieutenant
was exiled to a far-off garrison and
forbidden to come to Munich, in the
hope that the princess would overcome
her passion and forget him. His alb
seace, however, had contrary effect;
size fell Ill and pined, and Prince Leo

A Giant Spear.

NJ. de Sarzac, who has been carrying
on excavations in Chaldea with the
permission of the Turkish government,
recently made an interesting discovery
in an ancient Assyrian royal palace. 1t
was the colossal head of an immense
lance, made Of copper or bronze, four
teen cen timeters wide and eighty long,
with six holes to attach it to its han
die. At the point of the spear-head is
engraved lion with its claws in the
position of attack. Below it is en- in
scriptien which, however, gives no
clew to the former owner of the
weapon. Learned archaologists who
have examined the lance-head are of
the opinion that it was once carried by
isduba the Chaldean Hercules.

AS IT SHOULD BE.

Maud Muller on a summer morn
Jer!1ed the suckers from the corn.
And walloped the striped bugs that few
From the melon vines in the morning dew,
Her dress, though adjusted with patient care,
Was, maybe, a little The worse for wear;
But her face was as fair as the ripe, red rose,
Though she had few frecke5 upon her nose.
Her father, an honest and kind old jay,
Was out in the meadow making hay,
And trying to lift, with his brawny arm,
The mortgage that covered the dear old farm
Twas an uphill Job and it made him swear,
For tie had ten children, and dogs 10 spare,
And the crop was L.rge, but the price vas not,
And the annual interest made him hot.
The Judge rode by on his sway backed horse,
And saw Maud Muller and changed his course
He was struck with her beautiful eyes and hair,
And fell in love with her then and there.
He stopped and conversed of the growing crops
And the wavering price and the bucket shops
and was quite impressed with her sterling
sense,
As she WITH his classic elocuence.
He came each day andlonger stayed,
And offered his hand to the modest maid,
And she, in true-lover's parlance versed,
Requested 10 he a sister at FIRST,
But afterward yielded, when he dernurred,
Submitted brief, and her dad concurred:
And so 1t vas settled the twain should be
One and the same for eternity.
The wedding Gay came. twas grand affair,
For the cream Of the country was gathered
there,
And Maud was dressed like fairy queen,
In the finest toys she had ever seen.
And the judge was happy, and so was she,
And so was the whole community.
Meantime the Muller farm seemed to &c
Fresh meat for the rayenOus mortGagcc,
But the judge, in disnifed, legal way,
Sought the creditor out and advanced tho pay,
And gave his wifcs father q farm beside,
Without the least show of judicial PRIDE
And said to himself rs he wrote the ceed:
tn not see my father-in-iaw in need
Tor he gave me his daughter, and she alone
Is worth many times ell the wealth l own"
