BONE MEAL FOR CATTLE.
When cattle chew leather, wood or
old bones it indicates a lack of phos
ohate of lime in their food, which is
required to supply bone material. A
teaspoonful of bone meal, given daily
with their grain, will correct the habit
and supply the deficiency which in.

WHAT IS GOOD LAYING?
A subscriber writes to ask. “How
many eggs a year should a good hen
lay?’ We believe it possible to
velop hens that will lay two hundred
eggs a year, but a flock will not aver-
age that number, since there are so
many little things with which one has
to contend. Still, we should not ex
pect too much, and if your entire flock
will average one hundred and seventy
five eggs a year there could be no rea
son for complaint. We tld not,
under any circumstances, keep a hen

does. Not the most powerful opposition, not the bitterest or meanest under

we and our work must be assessed at its proper value; and, though we may
be dead when the tims comes, we shall have succeeded none the less. Every
day we hear of men succeeding in their graves. Put that only means that
the world was slow to see that they had succeeded years ago, while they were
living and working with us. The men themselves, we may be sure, though
robbed of temporary rewards, knew, deep in their hearts, that they had suo

misunderstood, to be vilified, to be laughed at, to die poor and unregarded, is
not to fail. So long as you know, without a shadow of doubt, that your work
is real, and that the very universe is committed to take care of it, and compel
its recognition, you can afford to die with a smile on your lips, or the sunshine
of success filling your heart,
