Methods of Feed I off Moat.
It is universally conceded among poul
try raisers in our country that a supply of
meat is an nbsoluto necessity to lnying
hens, says a writer in the ,tw England
Farmer, but as to methods of meeting
this need diversities of opinion nro nu
merous. But not to expatiate upon the
different modes in which meat is fed to
hens, I will briefly state my opinions on
the subject, giving the method which,
in my experience, has proved itself most
satisfactory and profitable.
In the summer, when hens nro given
their freedom in roaming nbout they will
obtain a sufficient quantity of insects,
worms, etc., to supply their want of nn
imal food. But in tho winter, as they
hnve no such opportunities, the continu
ation of their animal diet is dependent
upon the owner. The best method of
supplying hens with meat diet is to ob
tain a beef creature's head, which can
be purchased for 10 or 15 cents from any
I butcher, and twice or three times a week,
witu an axe, a pari siictuu uccnoppcu
up for them. As bono is also a neces
sity to hens, when this head is chopped
up bone and flesh together, hens receive
two very essential elements of their nec
essary diet. After the requisite supply
of meat is chopped oil the head should
be allowed to remain in a convenient cor
ner in the hen house, that the fowls may
have an opportunity to pick it over and
devour tho particles of bone nnd meat
which remain, thus affording them con
siderable exercise.

Sowing Grass Seed.
In sowing grass and clover seeds an
even stand is desirable, and to secure
this, great care is to be taken in tho sow
ing. A very good practice is to make
the lust harrowing with great care, evenly
and with the marks all parallel. Then
the sower can follow these marks, tirst
taking the edge of tho field and return
ing six short pnecs distant from tho first
course. 1 hen returning on the second
Course, and always sowing with the right
hand to the left. Six feet for ench cast
is as much as cau be taken with liirht
seed, ns orchard grass, blue grass, red-
top, etc., and as much as should bo taken
with timothy, and the quantity of seed
taken mnv be readily gauged to the
width of the cast. The cast is made
with each movement of the right foot.
When thewiud is blowing, even slightly,
Hk costs should be mado low, to avoid
irregular dropping of tho seed, and when
the light scowls are sown it is easier to
walk across the harrow marks when the
tracks made nre easily seen, and as the
wind may carry tho seed to one side, the
ower may go out of tho strnight track to
accommodate tho wind, and on returning
can easily distinguish the foot marks of
the previous track in the soft soil.
1 he sowing should bo done as soon as
the last harrowing is finished, when the
seed sinks in the loose soil, or is covered
by the first shower. A smoothing plank
is a good thing to cover seed with. It
maybe eight or ten feet long, and is
fitted with a tongue and two stiff braces.
Tho tongue is fitted to tho plunk on the
level, so that w hen it is raised the trout
end of the plank is elevated a little.
This prevents the plank from gathering
stones or seeds in front of it, and causes
it to ride over them. It leaves a smooth,
even surface. American Agriculturist.

An old farmer says: "You bless yout
stock and increase your store when you
go into winter with a good supply of
roots."
Tho Ohio Experimental Station says
the larger corn grows the shallower

increase with great rapidity.

The hoe and cultivator are tho leading

them running until the crop is ready to

It may not bo agreeable, at all times, to

and the variety of food, the production
of eggs is usually much increased.

Mr. J. W. Clark, of Iladley, Mass.,

All animals should be provided with
pure water, and with none is it more
necessary thun with milch cows, berious
results have been known to follow the use
of impure or stagnant witter. It is not
every farm that lias n natural and unfail-
ingsuppfy of water, although many have a
condition that should be observed in the
purchase of a farm, as it is one of the
most valuable considerations that can be
named. A never-failing spring of
abundant supply cannot be too highly
prized; it costs nothing lor repairs and
is always in good working order; but
such b'essings are not shared by nil, and
hence arL-.es the necessity for providing
some urtihcial means of supply. Wells
with pumps will answer all demands upon
farms with a small number of anim.ils,
but upon farms where they arc numbered
by scores pumping water from a well
paid well, lhey must combine many worthily bestowed or not. The fact that I by hand would be both laborious and

The Spy. of the Sheaandoah.
Pardon Worsley, "the Union Spy oi
the Shenandoah," died at his home at
Fostorbrook, N. Y., recently aged sixty-
seven years. Beginning life as a fancy
goods merchant in Massachusetts, at the
opening of the . civil . war he raised
a company of the Fourteenth Massuchu
setts Heavy Artillery. .. Ho was soon
afterward employed by 4Jeneral B. F
Butler, in the name of tho United SUtes,
to go into the British provinces to look
into the system of blockade running
then in vogue. He was successful in the
mission, for General C. C. Augur, in his
report of August 25, ISO.1!, says that it
was through the instrumentality of Mr.
Worsley that the extensive system of
blockade running from Baltimore and
Washington was broken up,
After returning from this trip Worsley
went out as a spy upon Mosby, under
orders from General Augur, though not
until lie had returned to Boston and mar
ried Helen Isabel Francis, who survives
him. Accompanied by liU young wife
Woi-slev set out, ostensibly' upon a ped
dling trip through Virginia. His real
object was soon suspected by Mosby, and
a spy was pluecd upon his track. The
spy was a handsome young lady, w ho was
to be conducted to Washington by Wors
ley. The Union spy was too smart to be
caught, and instead of using his pass
through the Union lines be conducted
the lady through swamps and by-roads
until she became disgusted with the trip,
an I she returned to Mosby convinced of
tho loyalty of Worsley. Mosby was not,
1 however, conviuced, and at one time
placed a pistol to Worsley snead, threat
cuing to blow his brains out. The young
lady interceded and orsiey s uio wus
saved. Afterward Mosby became his
firm friend, fighting a duel with a nephew
of General I.ee becaufe Lieutenant Lee
had set a guard upon Worsley and had
condemned him as a spy.
On two occasions Worsley furnished
information by which the Federal forces
were enabled to surround the house in
which Mosby was quartered, but the dash
ing Confederate cut his wayoutundes
cai cd. tin several occasions he got in
formation of intended raids upon Wash
ington in time to allow the authorities to
mass their forces and save the capital.
At the time of the assassination of Presi
dent Lincoln Worsley received command
of a squad of detectives, and when Bootk
was killed he retired to private life. F01
