How to Ctiro Eku Eating.
Sometimes the habit in formed hy
tlie carelessness of the kitchen maid
or house keeper, in throwing the egg
shells into the pail and giving them
with the other waste to the hens. 1
This should never IK: done, if you i
want the hens to respect their own
eggs. Understanding the cause of
this unthrifty habit, it is not very dif
ficult to provide a remedy. From a
recent experience, we have found
that the habit is very much broken
by an abundant supply of crushed
shells, it hail grown so had in a
(lock of twenty Light Jirahrnas, ow
ing to neglect of this ration, that
they devoured every egg. without the J
closest watching, at the cackle of
every laying hen. (Jiving the shells
every morning, the craving cease, and
we found the eggs remaining in the
nests undisturbed. As an assistant i
to this remedy, we tnanufulcurcd an
egg-tmp from a common nest-lKix.
This is so simple that any one ac
customed to the use of tools can
make it in an hour or two. A slight *
inclination of the board upon which
the nest-egg is fastened will cause the
j new-laid egg to roll away from under
tlie hen, lieyond her reach, as soon as '
it is drop|K'd. The rear board lias ,
the same inclination toward the cen
ter, and projects over the other board
far enough to protect the egg when it !
lias rolled aw.ay. The "pare between
the boards Is just wide enough to give I
free passage to the eggs. The egg- '
IKIX may be lined with a handful of
sawdust, or chaff, to protect the shells 1
from cracking If the back loard IK- i
furnished with binges, it can IK: used
as a lid, to allow of the removal of I
the egg*. It is a complete egg-trap,
and with the oyster shells, in our case, j
abated the nuisance of egg eating. !
•Many think, thai when a hen has con
tracted the habit of egg-eating, the
shortest way is the best, and inte*ad
of eating she is put in a condition to |
le eaten. Hut a good layer is 100 ,
valuable to be given up without an
effort to riform her bad habit, often |
acquired through the negligence r,f
the owner. The egg-trap works ad
mirably, and atcures the er.d desired i
by placing it out of the power of the
hen to da mischief. .tnirnVviu Ayri■ !

Saving Seed Corn.
Ihe growing of good, sound seed j
oorn that will yield a maximum crop,
properly Ugins a year beforehand in
the shaping of the character of the
seed. I her fore select (he seed of
IHM -i from the ears already growing
in the field, and give it sjieeial rare
As a rule, any thrifty farmer can
raise better seed than lie can buy,
and it should lc in bis programme
| every year to give Utc personal atten
tion to the growing of bis own seed
woru. There is money in it. The 1
average yield of Indian corn for the
whole country is not far from 25
bushels to the acre, and the total yield |
sometimes reaches one billion, sevea
hundred million bushels. With the
liest husbandry, which means good
seed, good soil, manure and tillage, it
j is not difficult to raise 75 bushels to
the acre. If fine, sound seed oorn
with a good pedigree,would add only
ten per cent, to the yield of this crop,
if would increase the annual yield aoe
hundred and seventy million bushels,
worth eighty-ftvc million dollars.
Vvery thinking farmer must see that
he has a money interest in securing
good seed corn, and in knowing Just
what be plants. He is suffering loss
every year ; probably from want of a
little timely attention to this matter,
He uses unsound corn, possibly, for
seed, selects from the corn crib the
best he can find, or borrows from a
neighbor as careless as himself about
the seed that be plants. A part of
the corn rots in the field, and be has
to plant over, which makes 7^"
|>cnse. Ibe late planted corn in
caught by the frost and suffers loss
, in the large proportion of sort corn
i that he harvests. The stover is not
, as well cured for fodder, and cattle
refuse the mould}' mass. Heredity
: counts for as much in vegetable as in
, animal life. To get maximum crops,
you must have seed perfect after its
kind, with the normal quality ol
kturch, gluten, oil, and other consti
tuents thai lielong to it. The plant
must lie well fed, cultivated, and
ripened in its appropriate season to
mature this kind or seed. We say
i then, to select your seed, as they
stand upon the stalk, in August or
September—perfect ears, well cap
pcd. I'ut a string upon them, or
some mark by which they can be
identified, and lei them mature upon
j stalk. To make sure of perfect dry*
1 ing, bang them up in bunches upon
the south side of a building, or in a
well ventilated ioft, or room with a
fire in it. The perfect drying of seed
corn is an important item. The corn
should not f: shelled until the cob is
thoroughly dried. When you arc
ready for planting, pour the seed
corn into a vessel of water and skim
off every kernel that floats. That
which sirikH to the liottom of the
water is the beat, and with suitable
conditions of soil and climate, will
germinate and bear fruit after its kind.
Com yields very kindly to all intel
ligent < Iforts to increase its product,
iveness and improve its quality. I'.y
selecting ears from stalks that bear
two or more ears you can increase
the numlier of ears. I'y selecting
ears of two or more rows, \ou can
increase the number of kernels upon
the cob, always provided you give
the corn plant food enough to do its
I best in the harvest. Farmers who
look carefully after their seed corn,
and rai.se 75 bushels to the acre, do
not doubt that it is a paying crop.—

Saving and Sowing Clovcrscod.
In securing clovcrseed it is best to
I cut as soon as the beads become brown,

A Practical Test of Drahmn Eaus
At the tjuinry Market in Itoston,
where the economic* and the cstluV
ic of the table arc supposed to lie
duly appreciated, a large dealer in
eggs gives this testimony : "Our best
customers will buy no other eggs but
the I'rahmas, If obtainable at any
reasonable price. A single first-class
restaurant in this city sometimes
bu\s of us ninety dozen a day of
these darkeil-colored eggs. All our
leading hotels, clulrs, and many
private families arrange for a supply
of them, paying us at the present
time, thirty-five cents for a dozen,
when we could supply common fresh
eggs at twenty-five cents per dozen-
The product of the light lirabmas
are the heaviest in the market. We
aell thousands of dozens a week, and
could increase the deliveries, if we
could secure larger supplies of fresh
Hraiitns eggs. Some of our best
customers assert that Brahma eggs,
dozen lor dozen, are worth from fifty
to one hundred per cent more, in al'
branches of cooking, than the Leg
horns or dunghill hinds. They are
richer, heavier, larger, and more ef.

so fond of succulent food, that they
will pick over large fields, in open
winter, try ing to find it. They suif.*r

The feeder cannot err in giving too
great a variety in the fowl of sheep.
The best ration we have ever known
fed to fattening sheep was composed
of equal parts by weight of oat,
; corn, peas and millet, and to fifteen
bushels of the mixture was added
1 one bushel of flaxseed, all ground
, fine together. Kacb sheep was fed
i I two pounds of this ground mixture
with hay, and made a regular gain of
three pounds each per week, besides
growing an unusually fine staple of
wool. This small amount of flaxseed

' i organs. It is a perfect preventive of
all diseases caused by dry fodder

Selecting Cattle.
It is with cattle as witli mountain
sheep, the weaker have given piaee to
the stronger, those Ix-st adapted te
the vicissitudes under which they are
placed, the result lieing that a very
1 hardy breed has been established,
• c apable of enduring the most intense
• <ll. Selection among the individ
uals of any breed of cattle will result
in like manner. Knduring hard win
ti ts and becoming adapted to warm
< .mates arc qualities that must l>c
bred for. At any rate, this is true
as to enduring a Northern climate.
The jioouliarities required by cattle
' j to enable them to stand a Southern
climate, are no quite so clear. Our
domestic animals were fir<t utilized
!by uncivilized men, and were, of
1 Course, held to localities quite restric
ted in extent : and from these ha\e
sprca 1 into a great variety of dim
mates, doing better in some than in
others. The claim that different !o
-' calities have produced ilith rent dis
] tinct breeds of cattle, the differences
being attributed to the climate, is only
partially true, liecause many of the
differences observable have aricn
from the different views and taMes
j of the people, and the peculiar types

Rubbing the Toil.
Rubbing the tail is frequently in
duce! by the presence, within the
snus, of a species of intestinal para,
site known as acarides, which are a
source of irritation. A simple and
efficient remedy for this i* salt and
water, which may !>e thrown into the
rectum with a syringe; or one ounce
of spirits of turpentine, mixed with
one pint of linseed oil, may be ad
ministered In a similar manner. High
' feeding, the accumulation of filth,
dandruff, vermin, etc., is often the
cause of the horse rubbing his tail.
The treatment consists in the free
use ol sosp and water, a change of
diet to green food, and the applica
tion of a wash made of bicartmnat*
soda, one ounce, water, two pints,
1 prussic acid, two drs.; mix.
