FEEDtNNG FOR EGGS.

For the production of eggs the food
should contain an ample supply OF
those ingredients that make up the
egg. An average egg weighs about
1000 grains, divided as follows: shell,
lO7; white, 6O4 yolk, $50. The shell
is composed of ninety-seven per cent.
carbonate of lime, one per cent. phos
pnate of lime and mngnesia and two
per cent. albumen the yolk of fifty.
four per cent. water, 2S6 per cent.
yellow oil and ia per cent. albumen,
and the white eighty-fve per cent.

men. Therefore, food containing
albuminoids and fat should be en-.
ployed. The natural food OF the fowl
consists of insects, seeds, vegetable
matter, etc. Therefore there should
be n variety of grains, animal matter
in the form of scraps of meat, etc,
or pressed scraps, chopped cabbage,
apples, etc, or, as has been practised.

There should he u great variety at all
times, and Indian meal scslded and

meal made into mush, which was
cooked an hour or two and then fed
hot with horseradish. 1t was recon-
mended to cook food Of all kinds and
feed hot. This might be well as a
stimulant, but cornmeal must be COM
bined with animal food to produce
eggs. A supply of powdered shells or
bone should be provided, not only to
aid digestion, but furnish egg shell
material. A correspondent of the

A vtNELEss SWEET POTATO.

In the cultivation of the sweet po-
tato, point is to keep the trailing
branches from roofing in the ground
If these creeping branches get roots,
il is so much taken from the main
crop-all the roots are comparatively
small and valueless for commercial
purposes. For this reason the culti-
vator of the sweet potato has to be
continually moving among the vines
lifting them from the ground by vari-
Gus methods in order to prevent these
branches from sending out other roots.
1t is now given out that in Florida
variety has been raised which takes on
the bushy form without any tendency
to run or sprawl over the ground. If
this be so, it ought to be one of the
greatest advances made for many
years. As n general rule, varieties of
the bushy class are not as productive
rs those which take on a regular climb
ing character. The bushy varieties
are not nearly as productive as the
taller growing kinds, but the sweet po-
tato may be an exception, as the crop
is under ground. Meehans' Monthly.

WORKER BEES.

They constitute the mass of the col
ony, and upon them devolve all the
iabors of the hive. They gather the
honey and the pollen, the food for the
young. They nurse and feed the
young brood and defend their house
against the invasion of enemies. The
care which the workers bestow upon
their nurselings is wonderful, and
these manifest the most tender attach
ment for them. The slightest move
ment of their nurses toward the young
brood is sufficient to attract the latter
to their food, which they devour vora-
ciously, and which is unsparingly ad-
ministered. After the cells have been
sealed up the workers seem to cease
from anything like attention, although
if the brood comb is meddled with
their utmost ire is kindled Bees
reared in the spring and early summer
are shorter lived than those reared
later in the season. Each worker is
armed with formidable sting and
when disturbed does not hesitate to
use it, The extremity being barbed
the bee can rarely withdraw it and in
losing its sting it loses its life aud so
dies in defending its home and sacred
treasures.

The silent battle.

Shall tell you about the battle
That was fought in the world today.
! Where thousands went down like heroes
To death in the pitiless frayp
You may know some OF the wounded
And some of the fallen when
/ tell you this wonderful battle
Was fought in tho hearts OF men
Not with the sound Of trumpets.
Nor clashing of sabers drawn,
But ailent ne twilightin autumn
All day the fight went on.
And over against temptation
A mothers prayers were cast
That had come by silent marches
From the lullaby land of the past.
And over the field of battle
The force Of ambition went,
Driving before it, like arrows.
The children Of sweet content.
And memories odd and olden
Came up through the dust of years,
Aud hopes that were glad and golden
We're met by host of fears.
And the heart grew worn and weary
Aui said "0h. can It be
That an worth the struggles
Nou are making today for mc?"
For the heart itself was the trophy
Aud prize of this wavering fight
Aud tell M, oh gentle reader,
Who camps on the field tonight?

In t0liOwing out TINS line OF thOugnt
Wilson had walked halfway to Lake
Whitney. Suddenly another idea had
struck him. He turned around and
started for his room. On reaching IL
he took a triennial catalogue and looked
through to see what names in the class
of '55 had the initials W. b. To his
perplexity he found several names with
these initials.
"Well, IL there isn't Billie Hender.
sons name! Inever thought of it,
but suppose his name is really Will
liam," said Wilson to himself. "He
could never have owned this book,
though, for he must have been regu-
lar grind"
The term was drawing to close
when one day Prof. Henderson an
nounced to his class that they should
bring their own copies of Horace to
the classroom on the next day. They
would do some reading at sight, he
explained, and the class would be al
lowed to use what notes we're to be
found in their books, and the edition
furnished by the university for class
room work had no notes whatever.
The next day, therefore, Wilson took
his Horace to class. The passage
which was assigned to him was the
one which the former owner had found
80 difficult and had sought relief for
his feelings by writing "Mame" and
''Mollie" on the margin of the page.
Wilson, however, buckled in manfully,
and when called on translated with
some fluency and sat down.
The professor looked over the top
of his glasses and said rather sternly;
81 do not understand, Mr. Wilson,
how you obtain the meanings that you
give to some of the words.
Wilson hesitated a moment and then
happy thought struck him, Some
thing that he had seen in the notes
came to his mind.
'I think, Professor" he said, "that
my text must differ from yours.
"Ah |" said the Professor. 'Let
me see your text"
Wilson walked mp the aisle from the
rear of the room and handed his book
to the Professor with the assurance
that man has who is sure that he is
in the right.
The professor took the book and
glanced over the page. His expression
changed in moment. Oldmemories
seemed to come up and he leaned his
head on his hand and looked steadily
at the book Finally he raised his
eyes, and handing the book to Wilson,
said "You are quite right, Mr.. Will
SON"
After the recitation was over Pro-
fessor Henderson called Wilson to his
ttShs bhOuiu iihtt tht. W iioph,
he said, ''to obtain that copy of
Horace from you when you are through
with it, if you have no objections to
parting with it. It's an odd edition,
you know he added, in explanation,
"and II should like to have it to
compare with other texts" Wilson
assured him that he could get along
without it, nodded good day to the
professor as he went out of the door,
and the professor answered soberly in
return.
"Well, I'll be blowed !" exclaimed
Wilson, as soon as he was well away
from the recitation room. "Who
would have thought it?" And he but
toned up his coat and hurried to his
room to tell the story to Johnson

which the vibrations of light take

ton, however, of finding diaphragm

receive these vibrations and produce
