The farmer who leaves hia poul try to roost in the apple tree at the corner of the barn, and to pick up their living at the pigs' trough and in the barnyard, may occasionally get an egg in winter. But as a matter of fact there is on most farms a great dearth of eggs from from November to March. With a warm shelter and suitable feed, pullets that begin to lay in the fall and will continue to lay through the winter. It is mainly a question of feed. The staple feed is Indian corn, especially in the West, be cause it is most plentiful and the most convenient. It furnishes plenty of fat and keeps up the heat of the fowls, but is poor in albumen and the phosphates. They want a variety of grains and vegetables. Most farmers have milk, and if this can be added it will be all they need. Butchers' scrap-cake is good, and may safely be kept in the poul try yard where the fowls can help themselves at pleasure. Boiled pota toes or turnips, mashed and mixed with Indian meal, make an excellent feed for laying hens. Fowls are particularly fond of cabbages ani turnips at all stages of their growth, and eat them raw greedily every day if they can get them. We have found so good result from feeding cabbages to laying hens that we always lay in a large supply for the winter. Refuse from the butcher's and offal from the fish market also furnish good material for making eggs. These are accessible to most villages and can be had at a small cost. A hen is only a machine for preducing eggs. If you want the finished product you must put the raw material into the hopper. It should not be forgotten that there is a liberal grinding going onz in the gizzard, and the laying bird should have free access to gravel, with sharggrit, broken oyster and clam shells, which assist in reduc ing the grain and forming egg shell. With a plentiful supply of egg - producing food, hens will lay well in winter, when eggs bring the highest price.-Col. Farmer. CROSS-BRED FOWLS. Crossing. fowls enables us to combine the mierits of different breeds. The Brahma has a very small comb, is heavily feathered, and grows to large size. By cross ing this breed -with the Leghorn, we reduce the comb of the latter, increase the size of the body, and afford heavier feathering. The crossed fowl will sit, though the propensity is not so strong as in the pure Brahma, and the good qualities of both breeds are blen ded. A cross of the Brown Leg horn and Pat,ridge Cochin permits of uniformity of co!or, and makes a superb fowl for all purposes. The IHudan answers excellently for crossing on the large'coarse hens, the offspring usually being larger then either of the parents. When two non-sitting breeds are crossed, snch as Leghorns and Hamburgs, the result is sometimes persistent 'sitters. An excellent cross is to use a L. ogshan cockerel with large common hens, the pullets from -which are mated with a Houdan -cockerel. This gives a hardy, early maturing of any of the Asiatics, but has dark legs, which are con sidered objectionable by some. For plumpness of body, yellow legs, and hardiness, the new breed-the Wyandottes (formerly American Sebrights) are equal to any. They are nearly as large inl size as the Plymouth Rocks. Crossed fowls do not produce uniform chicks. A pure-blooded cockerel must always be mated with crossed pullets. If this is not done, the chicks hatched from the crossed stock vwill be of different colors, shapes, and sizes, as they usually revert to different ancestors. Sandy soil is best for feathered-legged breeds. Plenty of room in the coops should always be allowed, without regard to the breed of fowl.-P. H.' Jacobs, in American Agriculturist for Dec. Buimra PI.-Cover the pie plate with crust as for custard pie; take a piece of butter the size of an egg, one cup of sugar, one cup sweet cream, one teaspoonful flour- mix butter, flour and sugar #ther, ad cram, bake till brown. ( CtAl muoiz. AT THE STAMP WINDOW.- t "Has postage been reduced to,f two cents?" "tYes'm.", "For letters?" "Yes'm." "Then a two-cent stamp will ac tully carry a letter ?" "It will." "And there's no need of putting on three cents?" "Not a bit." "Do you know Mrs. Blank?" "&No'm.I "She says it's two cents in the city." "It is two cents anywhere in the country." "She says she sent a letter to her husband in Augusta with a two cent stamp on it and we never got it." "I can't help that ma'am." "Then two cents is enough?" "Plenty." "And her husband probably got the letter and didn't answer it?" "Probably." "Well, I'll take a two cent stamp, but if there is any doubt about the matter I'd as soon pay more. It will go, will it?" "Yes'm." "Go right out to day?" ""Yes'm." "Well, I hope so, for it is a very important letter. You know Mrs D-, who used to live on street?" "Well it's for her. She lives in Charleston now. She asked me for the best way to pickle mixed The woman had to stand aside for two or three minutes, but as as soon as the window was clear she returned to say: "I've got the stamp on." "Yes'm." "Two cents." "I see." "And it'll go!" "It will." "If it don't-!" "And she probably didn't sleep a wink last night. Tn TH WisEs.-A gentleman while sitting at the dinner-table with his family, had these words said to him by his son, a lad of eleven years: "Father, I have been thinking, if I could have one single wish of mine, what I would choose." "To give you a better chance," said the father, "suppose the allow ance be increased to three wishes, what would they be? Be careful, Charley!" He made his choice thoughtfully; first, of a good character, second, of good health, and third, of a good education. His father suggested to him that fame, power, riches, and various other things are held in general esteem among men. "I have thought of all that," said he; "but, if I have a good character and good health and a good education, I shall be able to earn all the money that will be of any use to me, and everything will come along in its right place"' A wise decision indeed, for a lad of that age. Let our young readers think of it and profit by it.-Selected. A Warsaw naper gives a curious story of a wager between two wealthy Polish landlords. They agreed each to isolate two hens, two ducks and geese from the poul try yard, and allow them to multi ply for fifteen years. Superfluous male and maimed female birds could be sold, but the total sale was not to exceed ten per cent. of the whole flock at the close of fif teen years. At the close of that term the possessor of the largest flock was to get the smaller flock and ten thousand rubies in cash, to be distributed among charitable institutions. Upon settling the bet a short time ago, the loser had 1,. 890 hens, 530 ducks and 276 geese, a total of 2,696 birds. The winter had 1,084 hens, 965 ducks-and 895 geese, a total of 2,844 birds. We don't know who to credit with the iollowing, but it is a truth told in a back handed way; "We like to hear a man .refuse to take hfs home paper, and all the time sponge on his neighbor for it. We like to hear a man complain when asked to sub scribe for it, that he takes more now than he can read, and then go aroudid the printing office until be can read it. We like to see a man run down his home paper as not wotth taking, and every now and then beg a favor of the editor in the editorial line. We like to see a merchant refuse t- advertise in his home paper, and then try to get a share of the trade th newspaper brings. We like to se this, it looks economical, thrifty progressive and-cheeky." A gun is a thing without legs that kicks. Put a Brand on Him. "Women are a necessary evil," he said, ringing down his fist hard on the counter o emphasize the heartless remark. It was a the village store at West Milton, Saratoga ounty, and the speaker was the central gure of a groun of bucholic philosophers. le was homely, alovenly and sixty. "There's where I differ from you alto ether," said Mr. George T. Graham, of the ame place. "Women are mostly what men cake 'em. When husbands are brutes wives vill fall into submission or make home hot or the men ; and they're unnatural in either haracter. Love them, and especially be ood to them when they're sick, and you'll iave no trouble. There's my own wife, now. ;he's suffered a good deal with dyspepsia, tervous prostration and other ailments that ook the bloom off her cheeks and the spring >t her steps. Well, she saw an advertise nent of "Parker's Tonic," and thought it vonld be just the thing for her case. Gentle nen, I sent five miles after a bottle. She ook it. I sent again after more. So several hmes. Trouble ? Why, if you could see how nuch good it has done her you would say hat women are the greatest of God's bless ngs, and "Parker's Tonic" is the next.

This change tas been rendered necessary by substitutes mposed upon their customers by unprinci led dealers under the name of ginger ; and is ginger is really an unimportant flavoring ngredient, we drop the misleading word.
