Weight and Yield of Eggs.
The following statement of the weight
and yield of eggs of the different promi
nent breeds of fowls are from an exhaust
ive tabular statement by one who is con
sidered standard authority on poultry sta
tistics:
Ligat Brahmas and Partridge Cochins,
eggs, 7to the pound; they lay 80 to 100 per
annum, or eveu more, acoording to treat
ment and keeping.
Dark Braumas, S to the pound, and about
70 r>er annum.
Black, White and Buff Cochin*, Bto the
pound, 100 or less per annum.
Plymouth Rocks, 8 to the pound, 100 per
annum.
Hou lans, 8 to the pound, ISO per annum.
La Fleche, 7 to the pound, 130 per an
nnm.
B ack Spanish, 7 to the pound, 150 per
annum.
Dominiques, 9to the pound, 130 per an
num.
Game fowls, 9 to the pound, 130 per an -
nura.
Crevoeurs, 7 to the pound, 150 per an
num.
Leghorns, 9 to the pound, 150 to 300 per
annum,
Hamburg, 9 to the pound, 175 per an
num.
Polish, 9 to the pound, 150 per annum.
Bantam, 16 to the pound, 60 per annum.
Turkeys, 5 to the pound, 30 to 60 per an
num.
Ducks, 5 to 6 to the pound, 30 to 60 per
an um.
Geese, four to the pound, 30 per annum.
Guinea fowls, 11 to the pound, 60 per an
num.
The eggs of the modern improved broods
of fowls have gained one-third in weight,
as compared with eggs formerly had.
Farm Topics.
IMPROVING LAND.
Of course there are different processes
for renewing the fertility of soils that were
once naturally fertile, but through long
continued culture have ceased to be suf
ficiently so to produce remunerative crops.
The renovation of a “worn out” soil may
be said to be impracticable from a practi
cal point of view. To restore such soil
costs mo e than the land use 1 for ordinary
agricultural purposes would be worth in
our section wnere it is so cheap. In respect
to this matter “an ounce of prevention is
wi rth a pound of cure” and renovation
must begin before the land has become so
impoverished as to be unable to produce
the humus crop, by which it is to he reno
vated. It is well understood that this im
provement of worn, not worn out, soil con
sists chiefly in restoring to it the humus or
vegetable matter that has become exnaust
ed from it. Asa general proposition it
holds that soil is poor simply because it is
destitute of hutnus. That restored to it
the land becomes fertile enough to produce
remunerative crops again and renders it
for many crops independent of the appli
cation of any other substance, though al
ways justifying tue additional application
of the mineral elements potash and phos
phoric acid.
Laud that has run down to a condiion
where its productive capabilties are not
mure than 100 pounds lint cotton or ten
bushels of corn, may be cultivated to
greater profit and satisfaction and to the
ultimate advantage of the land by
having the crop grown in wide rows, say 5
feet apart for eituer corn or cotton or potaa
toes, manuring these rows w ell and grow ing
a crop of peas between, the vines o£ whieu
are allowed t > die on tne land and indue
time are covered with soil. Tne following
year have the corn or cotton or potatoes to
grow in the old pea row, every year fol
lowing this plan of peas between and alter
nating from one to the other, and it will
not be long before land thus treated will
get in good condition again. When the
rowsae wide 3UO pounds of a good am
inoniated phosphate will be a heavy ma
r.uring when applied to the main and list
furrows and a larger crop will result than
where the rows are twice as close with
just half the amount of fertilizer to the
row. This is the pla i where returns are
wanted from land while undergoing recu
peration, and with laud of medium fertility
this is always the most satisfactory.
Pursuing this plan with a part of the
land aud then allowing the oat, rye or
wheat mud to grow up in weeds or grass
and not pasturing too severely (and uever
when the soil is wet) an ameliorating sys
tem will have been inaugurated that will
in a little while restore tue lost fertility and
cause the laud to produce profitable crops.
It is a poor system that takes everything
possible from the land and gives nothing
back to it and humus (or vegetable matter)
is the main thing that poor land wants to
restore it to good conditio.>. Commercial
fertilizer alone cannot effect this change
except as it may help to make vegetable
matter to be turned under, and its use
rarely pays on sods that have been robbed
of their humus. Many farmers make a very
poor useof commercial fertil zer when they
applv it to the soil of such a natui e. It is
almost like throwing money into the fire.
First see that tue humps is there then ap
ply the fertilizer, and frequently this need
only embrace ihe mineral elements. Pot
ash and phosphate readily dispensing with
ammonia, the most costly and more easily
wasted element of all. If our soutueru
farmers cou and only r be brought to realize
how much to their ultimate good this care
for their land would prove, it would not be
many years before we would see a great
change in our agricultural condition. If
they would give eveu just half the care to
it that the English, French or German
small farmer accords it, there would soon be
less c iinplaint of wornout soil and bank
rupt farmers in the south.
GRAPE CULTURE in GEORGIA.
fZv fP uc ' a successful grape grower
of Nortu CKorgia, recommends tue follow

aP* etl y general complaint of rot. In
l.v:b it was restored to the list as a desira

f! e v * nes - One is not apt to deny himself
the pleasant and profitable work after the
lUl|,I Ul|, - var< l is started. Say the rows are
laid off at 13 feet, this furrow should be
thoroughly subsoiied, and thou enough fur
rows run on each side of it until a bed at
least 3 feet wide is made, subsoiling thor
ounhly every furrow thrown to it and if
the sod has not been in good tilth previ
ously it would be labor well expended to
replow this bed once, or even twice, before
putting out the vines. Xt is well to get
them out by Christmas if possible, though
January and Feburary will answer nearly
as wed. Dig the holes just the right
de th, leaving the bottom level, but the
soil weil loosened 6 inches below.
Set the vine in the center of the same
and spread out the roots naturally in dif
ferent directions, not cramping or cruwding
them. Throw on 2 inches of light, rich soil
and press it down firmly with the foot.
Then sprinkle in a good handful of bone
dust or meal, and fill up the hole so that
water w ill not settle about the plant after
ward. Insert a strong stake near the plant
and the work is done. The first year keep
the weedsdown and tho crust broken. The
following winter give a good plowing
with four or five scooter furrows on each
side, running twice in the furrows if a sub
soiler is not convenient. Apply some bone
meal to each of these furrows as they are
run—a handful to every 15 or 20 lineal feet
of row. If the soil is disposed to tun to
gether repeat this plowing in February or
March. Be careful not to strike the vines
or run too closely to them in plowing. A
good mulching tnen will be economical in
tue fullest se ise. The second year a good
trellis must lie provided, wire being the
best and cheapest material, and good heart
pine for the posts, or, if to be haJ, mulber
ry posts are the best. The vines being 8
feet apart in the row, let three vines be be
tween each post when wire is used.

Farm and Stock Notea.
Time intelligently given to bees will pav
equally weil with that given to any otiier
kind of farm work, and where too many are
not kept it may be done at such times as
not to interfere with other important
work.
The belief that a hog will thrive on any
kind of feed, if he has an abundance of it,
aud fche shiftle.-s, reckless wav of feeding
practiced by many is tno immediate and sole
cause of much of the disease that prevails
among the swine.
Cheap fertilizers are sometimes more
costly than those which sell at a higher
price. All substances used in fertilizers
have a marketable value, aud it is impossi
ble to place a fertilizer on the market to bo
sold at a figure that and >es not cover the cost
of the ingredients. The high-priced fer
tilizers are tue best, aud cheapest compara
tively.
A few dollars invested in paint will not
only add to the attractiveness of the farm
but will save wear and tear. Nothing is
so economical as paint. It ornaments and
preserves the buildings.
No farm hand should ba retained as a
driver who is continually using the whip.
During the warm season horses should
never be forced. The horse that is permit
ted to work at a slow, steady gait will be
more serviceable aud be ready for work
every day.
Clean up the front yard; tack on that
loose board or picket, slick up and make

Very much depends in planting the orch

with a view of retaining moisture and
manures, but also the slope and exposure,
its aptitude for natural or artificial shel

The pig’s usefulness as a mixer, turner
and refiner of the manure heap need only
be alluded to. There seems to be a value
given to manure worked over by pigs which
neither the theory of the philosopher nor
the crucible of the chemist can account for.
Yet it is positively there.
A rural excha ge indorses the old rule
that every cow kept for buOter will keep a
sow and pigs. The skim milk aud butter
milk form a basis for healthy feed, and if
given a run in the pasture or in the orchard
the litter of pigs in the fall will bring near
ly as much as the housewife has made from
her butter.

Snow Pudding.—Cover half an ounce of
gelatine with a little cold water, and let
cook half an hour. Then pour over a pint
of boiling water; add two cups of sugar
and the juice of three lemons; stir until the
sugar is dissolved; strain and set on ice.
When cold beat with an egg-beater until
white as snow; the whites of four
eggs and stir; cccl a pudding mold, pour in
the puddi g and set away to harden.
English Brown Bread. —Allow for
three loaves of this bread a quart of
graham, a quart of rye flour, a pint of
warm water, two tablespoonfuls of mo
lasses, one of salt, one of butter, and half a
cake of compressed yeast dissolved in one
tbird of a cupful of water. Make this
bread in the same way entire wheat bread
if made, only bake it an hour and a quarter
instead of an hour. This is a coarse bread
and very healthful.
Cornstarch Pudding.— Put a quart of
milk on to boil; mix four tablespoonfuk of
cornstarch with a little cold water and add
to the boiling milk. Let cook uutil thick
and smooth. Beat the whites of four eggs
stiff, add haif a cup of sugar to the milk,
then the whites of the eggs; stir all to

vanilla; pour in a pudding mold and set on

It now seems as if steam would not be
superseded at present by electricity or any
otber force, for recentiy’most successful ex
periment i have been made by the Steam
Storage Power Company. From a station

1 e injected into a reservoir so that the pres
sure will be nearly 1,000 pounds to the
squaro inch with perfect safety. From this
tans, which is th cklv jacketed with asbes
tos. power may be had for locomotion for
street railways, cars and other purposes. A
street railway motor has been designed
which is a perfect marvel of economy. No
steam escapes into the air. It is exhausted
into ebamuers, and there coudensed iuto
water, which is in turn again iujecte l into
tne tank. Thero is no puffing, no coal or
cinders, no smoke or noise, and nothing to
get out of order. Any one can run it who
can drive a horse. But two minutes are
required to charge the tank, and it can
then run the motor tuirty to forty miles.
