Happenir.gin the hi . pen one day abc ut
the middle of Man , I at ouc< per
ceived that somethir · ur. isu »1 had if- ;
curred. The racket 1» «J e« ased, and the
hens were quietly brooding «r '.talking
about on tiptoe. Chuntidecr was very
proud and conscious but was making a
great effort not to show it. The pull» t*
looked very pert and knowing as if they
wanted to giggle : the old hens were tip
toeing it about much after th*· fashion of i
a collection of old lailie* at a certain kind
of "family party," and looking as if they
knew more than they eared to tell : w hile i
in one corner reclined a matronly old
"biddy,~ very weak and overcome, but >e- j
renely conscious, very placid and happy,
and "on the whole, a* well a« could be
exfected," and near by, the cau-e >f thu
deep-felt commotion, ! My heart
«.welled within me : m) anticipations were ι
about realize» 1. Visions ot custards, om
elets, pancakes, "'am and heggs,' ic.,
et cetera, floated throrgh my bmin, and ι
the acme of success «eemed about reach- ι
ed. Seventeen tiui - α d*\ i·»r lue next
lortnight did 1 visit the hen pen : but al.is!
the spell was broken—a plaguy short spell
it was to. No more eggs appeared, dur
ing the tune, they "w. nt through the mo
tions" every day, till early in April, when
they laid one more, and that was the last
of the eggs; for, l>eing anxious by -ome
means to make them useful, I tried aui- !
putating their tails, just hark of their cars
which resulted in a separation oi the car
otid artery and jugular vein, stoppage - .f,
the heait, and consequent loss of muscu
lar eneigy, asphyxia, aud general demor- j
alization of the system. 1 conquered at
la>t, lor though it was all the laying I
could make them d<>, they would lie -till.
Un figuring up profit and loss account, 1
was surprised to see it exactly balance, 1
as follows :

It will be seen that I have charged noth
ing for interest on capital invested ; but,
as the ultimate end of all hens is to be
•aten. they would probably stand enough
more chewingon account of increased age
to balance the lo«s of interest on capital
invested. Then ama eur hen keeper*, !
take courage from this inexperience ; for
if under the unfavorable circumstances
muued, the experiment "paid," undtr
more favorable ones, .t would be a b r
business. Even the addition of one egg
in this case would have given fifty p«;r
cent, profit. Then "ieep hens, by all !

Agriculture! Hem*
Plaster ami salt are excelleut fertilizers
for clover. When the clover te two or
three inches high and the leaves wet with
dew, is the best time to sow the plaster ;
but the «alt does best when » warm rain
falls jnst after it is «own. Now when the
clover is fully grown what is the Ιη*>1 thing
to do with it » Our farmers— at least 99
out of every 100—will mow it into hay.
But i* that the most profitable use that
can be made of a field of clover? We
thiuk not. What then? We say plow it
under. Hot to nine-tenths of oar former*
it looks like havoc and waste to set the
plow into a fresh green field of clover and
especfallv when it 5s in full bloom, looks
so beautiful and fills the air with such ira
grance. True, the plow spoils the beauty
of such a field and the furrows destroy
the fragrance. But what then? Thus
plowed under it makes an excellent ma
mire. It is unquestionably the cheapest
and beet fertiliier that a farmer can ob
tain. It enriohe* the --oil quicker than larn
vard manure and pats it in better ccndirion
tor succeeding crops than almost any
other manure. Tt contains all th · dement·
needed to prepare the soil f«»r all kinds of
grain. It i- Grange that such fertilieiig
of exhausted lands is so much neglected
by our cultivators Î Fanners,think of this,
and plow y oar clover under, if you
have anv grot* ing, and if you have not,
prepare a field and the seed. Λ ou can t
tjo any work on your farm that will be
nv>re profitable.
Si'lfhate ok Amonia is nuteh used in
England as a fertilizer on crops of wheat
ami grass, and excellent results. Poanv
of our farmers use it:1 Our gardens would
be very much improved by it> use. it is
not verv cxj*ensivc, t·>r a little of it goes
α pH»d way iu stimulating the growth ot
plants.

turd ot equal parts of hen and cow manure
thoroughly saturated with water. Leach

making it a thick pa>te and putting it in

seed. Nothiug like having good seed.
More depends on it then some farmer»
dream of. Select your best potatoes for

little guano and plaster mixed and placed
upou the hills alter the coru is up will
also work good results.
