{mid if other hen* lay iu the came nest,
it makes no difference. And usually
but a small (bare of their eggs hatch.
There should be about eight heus to a
cock. I have known farmers to keep
thirty hens to a cock aud complaiu
that their eggs don’t hatch. Eggs
should be fresh, not over a week old,
at least. I have a room on purpose
for setters, then other hen* can’t get
at them. Hens can be moved with
out any trouble and you can make
them set anywhere, Tbe nest should
be made of soft bruised straw, that
out of old straw beds is just the thing
(moist earth makes a good foundation j
and just hollowing enough so the eggs
will keep in place, but not roll on each
other. Twelve eggs are a plenty, and
if the ben is small, nine are better.
Hens should be taken off from the
nest every day, aud fed and watered.
There should be a dust bin in the
room. 1 fasten the hens on the nest
and see that they come off regularly,
and that they do not stay too long. I
have usually sprinkled the eggs with
tepid water when the hen is off and
have had good success usually. In dry
hot weather ejgs get too dry if not
sprinkled, and the chickens will die in
the shell.
Brahmas and Cochin*, and crosses
between those breeds and common
hens, make good setters, as they will
stick, and are gentle to handle. If
eggs get broken iu tbc nest, the eggs
should be washed clean in warm water,
and clean straw put in the nest. If
the hen does net hactb well, put what
chickens ahe does hatch under another
hen that hatches at the same time, and
give her another setting of eggs. I
bid one hen set three weeks on ’hen's
eggs, and four on Guinea eggs, and
site come out of it in good order.
Hen’s will not grow poor but little, if
taken ofi and fed every day. It is the
staying on the nest two or three days
at a time that makes them poor.
The eggs from small breeds usually
hatch better than those from large
breeds. For batching valuable eggs
bantams are the best, as they will not
break them, and if the eggs are good,
will hatch extra well. Five eggs are
enough for the bantam to cover, un
less they are bantam eggs, then they
may have ten. I know many farm-
cre will say this is too much fuss over
chickens, but if we raise chickens at
all, they are worth caring for.—Mir

^ MANURE FOR THE VINE.
Of all the substances enteriog into
the composition of the manure neap,
none have a better influence upon vines
than bones. In the formation of a
border, they are of essential utility; af
fording for a long period, a constant
source of nutriment. The avidity with
which thifcroots of the vine seek such a
depot of food, may be easily seen by
“placing a large porous bone amongst
tho roots of a vine. In a few months
it will be literally covered with root
lets, which have'sought it out aud find
• their nutriment io iu recesses.
* -Leather, hair, horns, hoofs, woolen
rngs find other animal offal, pos-ess a
similar action to bones. They all poa-
, sess.the valualde property of lying un
decomposed in the soil for long periods,
yet, yield readily to the disintegrating
action of plant roots. Hence, while
they afford abundant and valuable
nourishment to the Vine, it is not sur
feited by them, as this nutriment must
be wanted and sought before it will be
given up.
K'VAkhes of wood, whether fresh or
leached, are a powerful manure for
the vine, mid probably contain all that
it requires. Leached ashes may be
applira as a top-dressing in almost any
quantity with excellent effect, but a
moro cautious use must he made of
fresh wood ashes, they being much
moreJWVwTu! and caustic.
vdal aslipm Have hitherto been deemed
utterly worthless, and are usually
thrown into the street. To some soils,
however—particularly those which are
too heavy—they are a very useful ad
dition; ami as they are a powerful ab
sorbent. there is no doubt that if
mixed with night-soil or some similar
matter, they would prove an excellent
article—more lasting, aud consequent
ly, better than night soil hy itself.
They should never be thrown away,
Jb<|wvyer,; as they contain lim?, iron and
minuter though appreciable quantities
of alkalies, soda usually predominating.
It is.iilsu quite possible that they con
join minute traces of phosphates,
though in no analysis with which I
have met, is it mentioned. Where
the''coal has been horned at a high
temperature, the nikali is in general,
reduced, and the metal volatixed.
The dung and urine of animals form
a powerful manure. The solid excre
ments of all these are best mixed with
some absorlient, as plaster, charcoal,
burnt day, ete.: or thoroughly decom
pose? in contact with vegetable matter,
as straw, leaves, etc. The liquid and
roftiblw portion mar be used as liquid
mBQumy-or may he poured over the
fermenting dung heap.
The dung of birds, as hens, pigeon*,
i guano, form a very con-
Dost excellent top-dressing
i borders, but are hetter when
liquid manure during the
■arm.
i excellent manure may be made
zanm* Suik a bole in any conve
nient part of the premises and fill up
with sawdust; on this, poor all the
urine that can be obtained from time
to time, and keep closely covered with
ajhoard cover.
•When sufficient ha* been added, or
when the smell has become offensive,
remove the cover nod place a pile of
clisrenal, burnt clay, o«al ashes or
or absorbent, m; top of it, and aN
it to lie for a fow weeks. At the
Fthat time, a mass of matter will
have been produced almost equal to
guano.—Cohman’s Rural IPorld.
A Word to Farmers.—Farmers
of Georgia, what oh the night? Will
you desert your gardens, orchards,
vineyards and farms because you are
in debt? We hear many of you pre
tend failure and bankruptcy; some
think they aro shrouded with iiensand
that ruin stares them in the facr.
God turned Adam out of the garden
under far more gloomy circumstances.
You never enjoyed such a habitation
as he did. The same sun shines upon
you that warmed Adam’s field and
heart. You have the same dews and
gentle rains to enrich the furrows of
your field, you enjoy the melody of the
forest songsters, you have the same
fruits and flowers, you have the same
seed time and harvest, you have os
loviug wives, daughters and sons, and
the same posterity to labor for. We
would here say to you, retrench, re
form, economize. Make all you eat;
before you buy anything, study for
days to see if you cannot do without it.
Patched clothes are more honorable
than those unpaid for. Stand to your
ploughs like Stonewall Jackaon did to
his guns at Bull Run, amid gloom, dis
may and death; aud like him, you will
put to flight all your adversaries, and
God will recognize you ns noble dt-s
scendants of Adam, and own you as
his people.
Fertilizers From Fowls. —It
would seem as though enough had n!-
ready been said about the importance
of saving all fertilizing material about
the larm, and especially that from the
poultry, which experience has abun
■iantly shown to be worth os much as
the artificial fertilizers that cost us
three cents a pound and upward.
Very few farmers would allow their
wheat, corn, or oats to be scatterd and
wasted as their hen manure is, yet the
latter is worth as much as the former,
pound for pound. Poultry should al
ways have a tight, well lighted, and
warm apartment for their winter quar
ters, and the roosts should ba so ar
ranged that thedroppingsean be saved,
free from dirt and rubbish. The best
way is to have a large tray under the
roosts, made ofboards. This should lie
cleaned out frequently and sprinkled
with plaster or dry earth. The manure
should be kept in boxes or barrels, per
fectly dry, and will then lose none of its
valuable properties. Neither lime or
ashes should ever be mixed with it
while composting it, which is best doue
hy adding about doublo thequantity of
dry earth to the manure, mixing it
well with the shovel, moistening it
moderately, and shoveling it over ev
ery three or four days until ready to
use it. It should be moistened suffi
ciently to allow of it being broken up
and well mixed with the earth; but
wbeu so moistend it is apt to heal, and
the shoveling over is necesmry to pre
vent this and the consequent loss of
valuable properties. A handful of this
compost in a hill of com will give ita
powerful start. A band of hen ma
nure »> composted will often doable the
yield of an acre of wheat.

Water for Cattle.—How modi
water cattle require, we have leant
this winter. Our water, in pipes to
the ham, bring stopped, and the sur
face of the ground being covered with
ice, so as to make it unsafe for the cat
tle to go to the stream, we hanks? wa
ter for them from the stream, a quar
ter of a mile, for two weeks. And
this was practiced by many of our
neighbors. Fifty head of cattle and
horses drank, daily, fifty cans of water;
and a few times, as many as fifty-five.
Thete aro milk cans of ten gallons
each.- Bo that cattle require at least
ten gallons each, per day. There are
four horses, two oxen, thirty-six cows
and eight yogng cattle. 1. It would
require a huge cistern for such a' sup
ply. 2. Cattle seem to drink more
wat'r iu very cold weather. 3. The
quantity of milk seemed to be lessened
hr the use of such very cold water. A'.
We got a very certain estimate of the
