EGGS ALL THE YEAR ROUND. Mr E. Dwight, of Hudson, says 5 <‘lt has long been know to milkmen that wheat middlings and bran are about the best of any feed to make a cow give mihc; why not the best, then, to make the hens lay eggs ] 1 tried it, and since then have had no trouble. My mode of preparing the feed is to mix about five parts of bran with one of middlings. In the morning I wet up with water about four quarts of the mixture in a large tin pan, taking pains to have it rather dry, though all damp. This I set in a warm sunny spot, south of their shed, and they walk up, take a few dips, seem ijo fancy like corn, qnd startofi-'on a for something Vief-ter, hint always eoming round jq a short time for a few more dips from the dish of. bran. There is little time during the whole day but what one or more are standing by the pan and helping themselves, I am careful to mix for them just as much as they will consume during the day. ' At night, Just before they repair to roost, I usually throw them about a pint of shelled corn, well scattered so that each 1 one can get a fetf kernels. If your hens don’t incline to eat this feed at first, sprinkle a little Indian meal oh it. I would like all who complain of not getting eggs to try my plan , qnd I think they will never be sorry.

Why is it impossible to have the last word with a chemist?— Because he always has a retort. Lats Advertisements.
