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.

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.
