How to Obtain Eggs.

Do not be all the time dosing and doctortag your fowls. Let nature have a chance to act on her own account. When fowls have a fresh, tender grass run they require no other vegetable food. Give scraps from the table, but give them as they are, with no extra seasoning. Pound clam and oyster shells until they are ta chunks a little larger than a kernel of corn and keep them constantly supplied with this very necessary article at all seasons of the year. Let them have places of loose fresh earth to scratch and wallow in. I have no patience whatever with the great, awkward, lazy Asiatics that move as if it were a misery to stir; ungainly, overgrown bipeds, that eat through your meal-bta to little profit. We have a flock ■of brown Leghorns that will lay regularly on little else than grass. They are the smallest feeders and the greatest layers I ever saw. Good, sweet, fresh grass is the one thing needful for fowls, and supplies their digestive organs with all the lime or iron they stand in need of. When fowls are healthy and have clean grass runs they will not eaU grata or meal in the morning, but prefer a good race over the knolls in the damp pastures in search of insects, and will look for a substantial lunch of corn or meal about eleven o’clock, and a good hearty supper at night. Study into the habits, nafure and requirements of your flocks, you who hanker so after fresh eggs, and my word for it you will have an taterest’tag book ever open before you; and do not wait until the very moment -you want eggs before looking up your fowls, but have an eye to the business six months ahead. Do not tarry until the spring of the year when the “ fever” is prone to rage high, but exercise forethought and secure your birds a season beforehand; then if you exercise the necessary care you will need no written recipe to make hens lay, nor treatises on diseases of fowls, but will be master of the situation yourself. The birds themselves will teach you their needs if you are an apt scholar.— Cor. Country Gentleman.

—The latest outrage of the Italian brigands upon the Appian Way, leading into Rome, was their attack upon a party of English ladies, who not only lost their money, watches and finger-rings and ear-rings by the fierce attacks of the ruffians, but also parts of the hands and ears that held the jewels. That untiring industry is any given pursuit. and an intelligent employment of every legitimate means for success, gives eminence, is illustrated in the career of Geo. P. Rowell & Co. In the science of advertising we might give this house the pre-eminence. With the newspaper fraternity they have the best standing in a business point of view. To the interests of advertisers they also devote a large amount of careful contrivance.—Methodist Home Journal, Philadelphia, Pa. Corn and flour are staple articles; but not more so than Johnsons Anodyne Liniment, where known. It is good for children or adults, for any internal soreness of the chest or bowels, and the best Liniment prepared, under whatever name. Thb all-gone feeling which people sometimes speak of is caused by want of proper action of the liver and heart. These may be assisted, and the bowels regulated, by Parent' Purgutiot Pills ta smaU doses.

No matter under what form of sickness you labor there is one great truth you should ever keep in mind, viz.: All disease originates in an impure condition of the blood. Purify that, and the disease must depart, for it has nothing to feed on; but you cannot purity the blood by the use of poisonous drugs and exhaustive stimulants; the relief which these afford is temporary and deceptive, leaving you worse off at every interval. The best Blood Purifier ever discovered is Dr. Walker’s Famous Vinegar Bittebs, compounded of simple herbs. No matter how hopeless your case may seem, try the Vinegar Bittebs, and a few draughts will convince you of their virtue. Dr. Walker, the discoverer of this priceless remedy, had beep given up to die by the Physicians, and is now a sound and healthy man from their use. 86
