The receipt of eggs in New York
eitv for November, 18TT, was over
4 0n00 barrels. This number is a fair
averago for each month in the year,
the spring months exceeding, and the
winter months falling under 40,000.
Kach burrel will contain about 1,000
eggs, more o'r less. The number of
barrels received in a year, rating the
month! v receipt at 10.000, is 480,
0i, or 450,0ii,OO0 eggs, which, at
twenty-four cents per dozen, a fair
average price, amount to $'J,COO,000
uine mi'lion sis hundred thousand
dollars. Now, w hen it is considered
that a large portion of these eggs are
pent to Hrookly, Jersey City, Newark,
and other near-by places, covering
about two millions and a half of pop
ulation, it is evident that the estimate
is not too bigh, being less than $1
worth of eggs per annum for each in-i
habitant, and that includes all the
oggs used in cooking by confectioners
of every kind. As "hens average,
eood aud poor la vers, they w ill lay
about 100 eggs each per year ; conse
quently, it requires 4.800,000 bens to
lay the eggs sunt to New York year
ly", w orth jO cents each, or ? 2,400,000.
If these heas were sitting in nest box
es 1 8 inches w ide, tide by eide, they
would extend 4,O!'0 miles, or further
than from New York to San Francis
co. Estimating ten bens as the aver
age number kept by all clat-ses of
people w ho sell eggs to country store
keepers, the number of families who
supply New York with eggs is four
hundred and eighty thousand. Prob
ably the time will come when poultry
men w ill keep 100,000 or more hena

an outlay of capital and a skill in

A writer in the Country Gentlemen
says : ' Having for some years kept
numerous ewine both for fattenitg
and breeding purposes, I have prac
ticed, in the tall, feeding them steam
ed potatoes, and the result fully eat-;
isGea me that bogs, on bait the corn
w ith steamed potatoes, do full as well
as with a full ration of corn, and as a
feed lor chickens, w ith a little milk,
they are not to be excelled. A bash
el of potatoes will certainly make as
much pork as one half bushel of corn
(and I think three pecks) if properly
led in connection with each other.
To get the most value, however, po
tatoes rbould cot be boiled, bat
steamed. We all kno the peculiar
excellence cl a mealy potato over a
boiled one, and wteaming has in fact
the same effect aa baking. Ibe po
tato dues not hoeome water aoaked,
but the moistnre of tLe potato be
comes heated and expands thus break
ing up the starch cells, so that the
potato is comminuted with but little
trouble, and can be fully diges'ed by
the animal." The best way to cook
feed for swine it to boil the potatoes
and corn weal together, adding roots
of some kind, as beets, parsnips, car
rots, or pumpkins. Steaming may be
good for potatoes alone; but it is de
cidedly Letter to mix a variety of
feed to be cocked ; and elways use a
liberal supply of C'Ta meal where
hogs are being fattened. Seme farm
ers feed corn in the ear to them, and
not much else ; but that is a wasteful
practice, as mu:h of tLe grain is scat
tered among the manure of the pec
and is lost. The experience of our
most advanced swine breeders is,
that cooked meal produces considera
bly more pork than the same weight
of shelled corn or meal fed uncooked.

Some tweatv vears ago there was

Joseph Harris, of Rochester, N.
Y., w ho professes to Uo a thorough,
sei'entiGc farmer, says: "My own
practice is to harrow the wheat three
times in the spring. We go over the
wheat both ways with the harrow,
aod then sow the clover seed and i l
low with the barrow to cover the
seed, lftte ground is very bard,
tha brrnwa do not break up the
crust nuffieientiy to aiioru sBuu. ti
ering for the seed, and U ary weaiccr
follows we have a poor catch on
tr,na hard snots. It depends very
nuiph nn the soil and season. The
banowing fcelps the whea.,and kills
a good many weeds, cod on sandy
loam the harrow leaves a good ?eed
bed for the clover, aod if wo tra
farnred with a few showers we are
pretty sure of a good catch of clover."
Farmers may frequently try this sys
tem of harrowing with success, but
they must be sure that they do not
tear uo too much of the wheat. A
Cne-tooth harrow is the best. Prob
ably as good, or better results, would
h Khown bv first sowing the clover
nil then harrow it in. On this
nlin' the seed need not U sown as
early as it usually is when the Und
is not harrowed ; but it should be
sown when the land is dry.

TUE VAXDEKU!l.r VEILING.
The daughter of William II. Van

Wedding that could be announced
would be the object of more curiosi
ty, and the dit-play was designed to
reflect the consequence of he bride's
family in amaincr suitable to a for
tune of ninety-nine millions, liar
one order was given regarding the
weddiag dress, that it should be the
cusiilesi that ever passed from the
bauds of the fashionable modiste, the
same who furnished the wedding
dretses for ilia's (Irani aad 3oss
Tweed's daughter. Numbers were
Old de u to wituuss the wedding at ibe
cbu.cn, but the reception at the bouse
was vry select. Ttie bride is about
twentr. aud oiuLcie. sue marries a
Tioston gentleman named Twombley.
The father of the brije performed his i
part by giving his daughter a diamond
necklace worth .r0,000, and cberks
and other securities for nearly a mil
lion, which will take tbe young couple
comfortably through the winter.
It was as snobbish an affair as
ever Vew York saw, and precisely
the kind of thing that the mushroom
shoddvites always do. 'lha gllis
were advertised for weeks before, tbe
cost being very carefully mentioned
in each casp. Sow tbe real old fam
ilies, who have something betides
money to full back upon, never do
this. Their weddings are gorgeous
enough, but publicity is always avoid
ed. The newspaper reporter is not
invited to inspect the house and make
notes of everything from the diamond
necklaces down to tbe bride's outGt,
and if anything beyond tbo mere an
nouncement gels into tho papers, it
is because of the superior impudence
ot a reporter. The Yanderbiits and
Stewarts and that kind ate ve. care
ful to have it all blazoned forth, and
it is done in the true patent medicine
style. It is a mercy that such fam
lies don't last long. Tbe ostentation
bred of sudden weajth very 80on dis
sipates it.
I'AKHMNS.
1 tio tasuioos ot tne season are
more for sense than for show. One
of tbe stylish morning garments for
out-doors is a long cloak of gray cbev
iot, covering the entire dress, and
gored as closely as possible in front
and behind. A highly sensible ad
dition for walking is a cloth gaiter
strapped over the boot, precisely like
those worn by men, to keep tbe dust
from AGtering the shoes. Embroider
ed waists of light blue or pink opera
flannel are worn under tbe dress for
cold weather. Bright red and blue
shawls of plain cashmere or stella
shawls with borders are again worn
as a sort of balf dress, and add touch
es of pleasing bright colors to the
streets.
. ' THE CIOAC 3JAKEES' STRIKE
.The cigar-makers' strike continues,
and though tbe strikers affect to have
confidence that tbey can compel the
managers to come to tbeir terms,
they are evidently discouraged.
About a thousand Chinamen have
been brought on from San Francisco,
and they are at work. But a more
serious danger threatens them. The
manufaacturers have discovered that
a woman can make a fair cigar in
two days, and an excellent one in
week, and they are taking them on
by tbe lb.- usaDd. It is singular that
the men never thought of this. Tbere
is no reason under heaven why the
deft fingers of a woman should not
be better in a trade like this than tbe
coarse and clumsy Lands of a man
A cigar made of expensive stock
must be finished in handsome style
it mnst be elegantly shaped, smoothly
aod nicely finished, and tbere is no
reason why woman's taste and dex
tenty should not be utilized in this
as in otber workmanship requiring
similar qualities, lne cigars are
mostly made at the workman's borne.
So much ' fillers" and so much "wrap
pers" is weighed out to the workman,
wbo is required to deliver so many
cigars of a prescribed size and weight.
lne manufacturers own tenement
bouses, which they rem to their em
ployees, and io this way the work,
wnue it is done wunoot a lactory, is
practically under the supervision of
the employer. Tbe manufacturers
are now ejecting tbe striking tenants,
wno ot course nave not paid rent, and
each ejectment is made tbe occasion
of a demonstration. 1 While tbe fur
niture is being loaded on carts, tbe
sinkers cheer for tbe ejected, and
groan for the ejector, "and the load,

against a power to which, for pur
poses of foreign conquest and subju
gation, Home in tbe height of her
glory, is not to be compared ; a power
wbicn bas dottef over tbe surface of
tbe whole globe with her possessions
and military posts, whose morning
drumbeat following the sun in iu
course and keeping pace witb tbe
hours, circles tbe earth with one
continuous and unbroken strain of
tbe martial airs of England."
As be sat down, one of tbe Sena
tors congratulated him upon his
speech, and, alluding to tbe above
passage laid that to him it was in
conceivable how Mr. Webster, in a
speech so manifestly unpremeditated,
could have formed so perfect and so
beautifully a sentence, which with
hours of ptody be could not improve,
Mr. Webster replied that tbe passage
was not extemporaneous; that in his
summer vacation he visited Quebec,
and, while standiog upon tbe mass
ive and almost impregnable citadel
there looking out upon tbe wendrous
scene of natural trrandrur and nf
natuie's ljvtliuess spread before bim,,

Thero has been a long dispute be
twen tbe physicists and mathemati
cians on ceo baod, and the geologists
and biologists on tbe other, as to the
age of tbe earth, or rather, tioce that
is equally involved, tbe age of tbe
sun. ' Dr. Croll, tbe distinguished
Scotch geologist, has recently offered
a theory which is not altogether new,
but admits of some novel argu
ments, and may serve all panics to
the dispute. Beginning with a re
view of tbe different theories as to the
sun's beat, be rejects tbe combustion
theory as altogether inadequate,
since if the sun were all a mass of
buraiug coal ;t would not last over
5,000 years; the chemical theory does
not prolong tbe duration suiSeienily ;
tbe meteoric theory will not serve;
the only remaining explanation is tbe
gravitation or condensation theory
1 his supposes that the materials of
the solar system were originally a
nebula, extending tbrougb a space
many times greater than the orbit ot
Neptune. Tbe falling together, tbe
condensation of this amount cf mat
ter, it can be mathematically shown,
would supply enoogb heat to keep
tbe sun at ita present temperomre
for 20,000,000 years. Unfortunately,
that period is not sufficient tor tbe
geologist. He demands at least
100,000,000 years for the changes of
ibe earth's suiface, and would prefer
twice tbat length of time. The ar
guments of tbe geologists are tihuc.sl
unanswerable; those of tbe biologists
who believes io evolution tend to the
same point so far aa tbey go. Prof.
Croll says mat there is a way out of
this difficulty by supposiug tbat the
nebula was not cold but hot. If you
suppose it hot cnougb to start witb,
you will bave bea enough to carry
you through. Obviously it is just as
easy to suppose a hot nebuU as a
cold one. But Prof. Croll proposes
to provide for ibis original heat. If
the solar system bad originally con
sisted ot two masses, each of balf the
density of tbe whole, at some im
measurable distance apart, and tbey
fell foul of each other owing to their
mutual gravitation, tbey would strike
witb a speed of 2i4 miles per second.
If tbeir motion was shopped by tbe
concussion, an amount ot beat would
be developed sufficieut to coo vert the
whole into a nebula that would lake
50,000,000 years to cooj. This is de
cidedly au improvement on tbe cool
nebula. But this supposes tbat the
component halves, before ihey start
ed on tbeir way to a collision, bad
no motion. Eel us suppose tbat tbey
were moving before band at the rate
of 202 miles per scoond, and tbat ibis
speed was added to wbat tbey got
by gravitating towards eaob other;
then we get, when tbey struck, a ne
bula extending beyond Neptune, and
witb boat enough for a sun for 100.-
000,000 years' duration. If you in
sist upon 200,000.000, you mm. give
tbe original masses a speed of GTG
miles per second before baud. 1
will be objected tbat no sucb motion
bas been observed in space. Even
tiis plaouts do not mike sucn la
time; tne eartn, tor insiauee, going
only 1,000 miles a miuuie. tbe
Xed stars whose motion has been as
certained travel very mueh slower.
But Prof. Croll says tbe fixed stars
arc those that bave gone through the
collision process and bave lost ibeir
motion.
The new hypothesis gets behiud
tbe ordinary nebular theory iq point
of time, giving an explanation for tbe
formation of tbe oebulta But it pre
suppose tbat there may be vast, cold,
invisible masses of matter rusbio
tbrougb space with sucb velocity
that their mere touch would convert
our globe iuto red-bot gases and dis
tribute it tbrougb infinite space.
The conception is not incompatible
witb the sudden flaming out of a new
star abd its conversion int the neb
ula. as Seems to bave been tbe case
witb tbe Schmidt star in Cygnus;
but the facts io that remarkable case
were probably not known to Pr f.
