It is with sadness that we have to
announce the death of Mrs. .Tones,
the wife of Wm. R. Jones, of Rock-
mart, on the 8th iuat, and was bu
ried yesterday amidst a large con
course of the friends and relatives of
the deceased. After about one year
of married life she has gone the way
of all the earth which Bhould be a
striking lesson to all that in the
midst, of life we are in death. Her
husband has the heartfelt sympa
thies of ull. But it is hoped that his
loss is her gain. lie has truly lost
a faithful helpmate. Her amiable
disposition, modest department, her
rnre virtues, her loveliness and ohris-
tion-liko beneficence, all rendered
her an object of esteem to all of her
acquaintances. Although notamem
ber of any church we learn that she
gavr evidence of her acceptance with
her Savior before she died and this
should be a great cousolution to her
friends and relatives, and especially
to her kind and devoted husband
that he can one day join her in an
other world, where there is no part
ing, pain, nor dv. ath.

Number of Eggs o Hen Can LSy.
We copy tho lollowing item which
has been for a long time going the
rounds of the agricultural press show,
ing how little scientific attention bus
been bestowed upon the subject of
poultry keeping:
It has been ascertained that the
ovarium oT a fowl is composed of 600
ovules or eggs; therefore a hen, du
ring the whole of her life, cannot
possibly lay more than 600 eggs,
which, in the natural course, urc
distributed over nine years in the fol
lowing proportion: First year after
birth 16 to 20; second year 100 to 120;
third yeur 120 to 135; fourth year 100
to 115; fifth year 60 to 80; sixth year
50 to 60; seventh yeer35 to 40; eighth
year 15 to 20; ninth year 1 to 10. It
follows that it would not he profita
ble to keep bens niter their fourth
year, as their produce will not pay
for their keeping, except when they
nre of a valuable and scarce breed.
To begin with, we may doubt the
possibility of making any accurate
count of the number of ovisacs in
the ovaries, or of affirming that uo
new ones make their appearance out
of niinuto germs or ceils in the
course of the life of the hen v
In the next place, such a limita
tion must have reference to the actu
al constitution of the fowl, nnd tliiB
either in its wild or tame condition.
If to the former, tho number of eri
stics, even if difinitely ascertained,
cun have no connection whatever of
tho reiil habits of the hen, since she
lays in a wild state only us many
eggs as she can cover; if to the tame
fowl, it is strange to find so definite
a rule laid down for an animal that
is in the highest degree of an artifi
cial character, and whose nature is,
in so many points, constantly being
remade.
