A BIT of fresh meat now and then, some scraps, ground bones, with ashes or sand to roll in, and a warm, dry house where the sun comes, is as good as anything to make hens lay, and eggs sell now at a high price. The rule, you know, is to sell when they are low. when things are high, and buy Let us set

our wits to work to learn how to have eggs when folks want A cold storm them. Hens get insects in May, and gravel-stones, all sorts of seeds, pure air and water. What is there now to take the place of such things? Corn or dough will fatten a flock of hens, but if you want them to lay, you must give them something else. We shall learn, by and by, to feed for the end we have in view, and then the farm will begin to pay. We need to know

more, to know the real worth of all sorts of food for stock, and to know the best way to use them; to know the wants of our land, and how to meet them. No time like this to look into all these points. The roots come in well now, and the cows ought to have a few every day. There is no end to the chores of one kind and another

in the barn, and about the house and the wood-shed, but we must try and save some time to read, and to go to the Farmers' Club.
