Farm Notes.

There has been SO little variety in the
no-egg habits of many poultry yards of
late that it may be well To try little
variety in the way of food. There is no
difficulty in providing variety for a
small flock, rs the table scraps will assist.
but for fifty or hundred fowls resort 10
foods that are easily obtained is required.
Cut clover, meat, milk, linseel oil cake
and cabbage will all serve TO yary the
diet. 1t is when fowls are fed on grain
during the whole time that they refuse to
lay. But even the grain may be varied if
corn IS withheld and oats, wheat and
buckwheat are used in rotation. Fill n
trough full of corn and place ii where the
fowls can eat all they desire They Will
soon begin TO refuse it. Is they require
something which the corn does not con
tain, and they will not produce many
eggs until they are grati1ed. Variety of
food is nOt only essential to egg produc-
ton but assists in keeping the flock in a
healthy condition.

Augusta Post Office Crowded With Letter and
Newspaper Matter.

This IS busy time for the mail clerks
at the Augusta post office, and the end is
not yet. From now until the end of the
holiday season the mail will be large,
enormous, prodigions, and the sacks will
be bursting with matter of every conceiv-
able size and shape.
Assistant Postmaster j. e. Badger said
to Journal reporter, Saturday; 1.-THE
Christmas mail will begin to increase in
good earnest, the latter part of the week,
and even now Il lot of Christmas letters
from distance is BEING passed through.
The natural business stimulus. too, caused
by the Christmas trade, increases the mail.
"Our newspaper force has had to work
nights since last Tuesday, on account of
the immense newspaper business. This is
largest from October through the winter,
all over the country, owing TO the large
amount of reading done in the winter
months. There has been an especially
large amount OF matter of late, and to at
tend to it, it was necessary 10 set the crew
at work evenings.
Tine people nj large little realize the
amount of letters and packages which
swell the mail at Christmas time, Thous
ands of people send packages, aud some
times letters at that time of the year,
only and what makes it worse, they all
send ut once.
