FARM, GARDEN' ANDHQUSEHOLD.
How to Obtain Aa IncrctMof Kg;-s.
In the first place, obtain fowls that
are own to be good layers; or, in
other&words, some of the improved
kinds. Such fowls are better layers
than the common kinds; there may be
individual or exceptional cases, but the
rule holds good. A few of the better
kind may be commenced with, and in a
couple of years or so, the common stock
may be got rid of. In the second place,
t is not advisable to keep hens after
they are two years old. Early pullets
give the increase; it is not a little sur
prising that so many people persist in
ngojd hens year after rear, which
only lay every other day. To be sure
exceptions may be made in the case of
hens that are really representative fowls
in size and other excellent character
istics which are especially desirable to
raise good stock from, by mating them
with a comparatively youthful cockerel.
In some parts of France and elsewhere
in Europe the rule is to keep the pul
lets only one year. Pood has much to
do in making young hens lay, but it is
not often that any amount of care, or
quality of food will make old hens lay
oftener than every other day.
The main conditions, then, to secure
the best results in the egg product of
poultry, are good or improved breeds,
young, healthy and vigorous fowls,
cleanly quarters, proper food and enough
it.
Cutting Hack Yonnc Trend.
We observe that mistakes are still
made by some who set out young trees,
and who are nevertheless aware of the
importance of reducing the heads to
correspond with the unavoidable re
duction of the roots in taking up. The
trees are set out, and the cutting back
is put off till the new leaves are partly
out. To do this then it will do more
harm than good. If not permitted
before tlie buds open, it should be
entirely omitted. Growth is always
checked by pruning when the leaves are
opening or expanded. "We have seen
good trees nearly ruined in this way.
If the operation is not already done, let
all the roots and leaves remain, and
make up for the neglect by keeping the
surface of the soil for several feet about
the tree constantly mellow, mulching
with manure as hot weather approach
es, and if the weather should be very
hot and dry, daily showering the leaves,
lmmciita ami-Brem: iPrfis-sliriWeTfiTg
should be regular, not occasional. There
is a difference in different kinds of
trees, as to the amount of injury caused
by cutting back too late. Peach trees
will withstand the effects of such treat
ment better than most kinds; apple
trees not so well ; cherry trees worst of
all we have seen them actually killed
by it Country Gentleman.
Dark Barns.
A writer in an exchange says upon
, this subject: "I have often thought, as
I have been in different barns, that their
owners deeds in them at least, must be
evil, for they seem to prefer darkness
rather than light. In this neighborhood
there are four barns that I thought I
would go and measure, and see how
much glass there is in them. In the
smallest there is none, and as the cracks
are well covered no matter how cold it
is, they have to leave the doors open to
see, while doing chores. Tne others are
larger, one forty by forty, with nine
square feet of glass ; one sixty by forty,
also with nine square feet The other
is sixty by thirty-four, and is lighted by
the open door and numerous wide
cracks, some of them measuring an inch
and a quarter. "When my father built
our barn, he put in over sixty square
feet, and a year ago he put ten and one
half feet more in the west end, so that
the sun could come upon the sheep.
"We are not troubled with an abundance
of light, and I don't think that thestock
are, for I notice that the sheep and
"Jfcmbs take particular pains to stand
where the sunlight will fall on them."
This is a matter of vastly more impor
tance than some fanners think. Ani
mals, no more than vegetables, can
thrivein the dark. Our long winters
are sufficiently trying to the constitu
tions of our. farm stock, under the best
-da5f circumstances, and an animal upon
which the sun scarcely shines at all for
five or six montlis will come out in the
spring in a bad state of health, even
though the feed, and the ventillation,
and the temperature have been all right.
The sun is the great life-giver. Ver-
r mont Chronicle.
Fichtinjr the Potato Beetle.
Having had some ten year's exper
ience in fighting potato beetles, I will
tell you how we do it. The first thing
after they make their appearance in
the spring, which they do as soon as the
potatoes are out of the ground, is to
hand-pick the "seed-bugs," as we call
them. This hand-picking is done very
readily by the children when the pota
toes are small, and very tboroughly.too,
if they are paid for the work at a fixed
price per hundred a cent a hundred
will do when the beetles are thick,
counting ach nest or cluster of eggs as
one beetle. After tkey are picked,they
are scalded or burned. An old oyster
or fruit can is used for holding them,
the beetle hunters carrying the can in
one hand and picking the pests with the
"" other, just as you would pick berries,
going over the field as often as there
are any beetles to be picked. If this
picking is thoroughly done, we do not
begin to use Paris green until the pota
to-tops are nearly grown, or until the
young beetles begin to batch.
With regard to the mumer of using
Paris green, after trying every known
method, I find the easiest, quickestjuMl
safest way is to mix it with water, in
the proportion of a tablespocmful of
flsris green to a pailful of water. I use
a brush, or a swab made by tying a
handful of fine corn-husks on the end
of a stick two or three feet long. Take
the pail in one hand and the brush In
the other; give each hill a thorough
sprinkling, stirring tbewater from the
bottom of the pail occasionally, as the
Paris green settles. Take two rows at a
a time. This is a man's work; but if
he is spry he can go over a pretty good
sized potato-patch in a few days. For
early varieties of potatoes one thorough
sprinkling is sufficient, if the Paris
green is good. As the water dries
away it leaves the pure Paris green ad
hering fast to the plants, and a very
small dose of it will turn up a potato
beetle to dry. The sprinkling should
be commenced just as soon as the young
beetles or larva make their appearance,
and if they come again after one sprink
ling, the work must be done over again.
We kill squash-bugs in the same way.
Is it hard work ? O f course it is ; all
work is hard. John Rusticus in Rural
New Yorker.
Oar Door-Yards aad Highways.
Of course it takes time and it takes
some money to make a beautiful door
yard, but the outlay of either need not
be very great. Trees grow readily every
where, and the transplanting of young
trees is no difficult or laborious matter.
There is nothing so beautiful as a green
velvet carpet on a front door-yard.
There may very properly be beds of
flowers here and thereto give color and
variety, but in the home of Longfellow
there iH nothing to be seen in the prem
ises around the house but trees and
grass. These with little care will grow
for everybody, and be daily sources of
delight to all who enjoy shade at nn
tide and a soft carpet to rest one's eyes
and one's feet upon.
There are a great many hard work
ing farmers and farmers' wives who
are anxious to pay off the mortgages on
their homesteads to lay up a little for
a rainy day, or to add to their acres,
that they think they cannot afford to
enjoy anything now; bye-and-by they
will take the comfort, but the habit of
saving, of going without, of getting
along without any outlay .grows strong
er every year, and when the time comes
that they can well afford to live in
tasteful ease their desire for it has fail
ed, and their children inherit no ances
tral trees, no vines that their father
has planted. If one cannot afford to
buy of the florist there are plenty of
shrubs and ornamental climbers that
may be found in the woods to beautify
the unpretending cottage. But with
cuttings of all sorts to be had sent by
mail for a trifle, with any amount and
variety of flower seeds furnished at Ave
cents a paper, there is no excuse for
barren, unsightly door-yards. Children
accustomed to having flowers around
-theni, semniearaht)wixrteke-tai'roT-
them, and delight in their culture, and
a home adorned within and without
with flowers is almost certain to be a
happy one. New York Tribune.
Nothing to Do.
There are in this city a number of
"nice" young men who have nothing to
do. They wear clothes of the most
fashionable styles, sport button hole
bouquets, smoke good cigars and occa
sionally drive out for an airing. Their
revenue is derived in most cases from
their mothers and sisters, who are of
ten compelled to work early and late,
impairing their health and undermin
ing their constitutions to support in
semi-luxurious idleness the sons and
brothers, who in their turn employ their
time in waiting for some light and con
genial employment to huut them up.
The rapid growth of this class of young
men is a matter for general regret, our
city is full oE them, they stand at the
postoffice corner, they crowd and jostle
one another on City Hall steps, they
loaf about the theater entrances during
the matinee performances, they lounge
in the billiard halls, promenade Fifth
avenue and Sixth street bridge,in short
they are everywhere, and yet po3itioas
of ease and dignity which they are sat
isfied they could fill with credit to them
selves and honor to their employers,
fail to find them. Our advice to this
class of nice young men, although not
altogether new, is the very best and
most profitable ever given them, pro
vided always, nevertheless, they act
upon it, and it maybe summed up in
three words: Go to tvork! Quit
waiting for some easy and luxurious
position and hunt something to do!
Lay aside your button hole bouquets
and kid gloves, your fine cigars fashion
able clothes, and try and earn a living
for yourselves at any rate, even if you
cannot help to support the mothers and
sisters who have supported you in idle
ness for weeks or months or years!
There are plenty of farm laborers
wanted. The oil regions require hands
and brains in developing their wealth.
The South presents an almost bound
less field, and promises an assured re
turn for labor as well as capital. The
raising of rice in Carolina and Georgia,
of cottton in Mississippi and Louisiani,
and of cattle in Texas, may all be made
profitable by the industrious, persever
ing and determined Laborer. Fx

A MEDICINE OF MANY USES.
A medicine which remedies dyspepsia, liver
complaint, constipation, debility, intermittent
and remittent fevers, urinary" and uterine
troubles, depurates the blood, counteracts a
tendency to rheumatism and gout, and relieves
nervousness, may be truly said to have many
uses. Such an article is Hostetter'6 Bitters,

of a century before the public, is endorsed by
many eminent professors of the healing art,
and its merits have received repeated recogni
tions in the columns of leading American and
foreign journals. It is highly esteemed in
every part part of this country, and is exten
sively used in South America, Mexico, the
British Possessions and the "West Indies. If
its increase in public favor in the past k to be

Ilgfctr Acres f Trnmil Xessatsw Xear
8ihrer Lake, Oregsfa.
Silver Lake, Oreoos, May 8. For
several months past we hare heard
some of the stock men of this valley
speak of a boneyard some thirty miles
east of here, on the edge of the desert
Rafus Dillurd, Jack Parian and An
drew Foster, stockmen, came in from
there last Monday and brought in a
large quantity of teeth and some large
bones. I will give you their description
as near as I can recollect it These
bones are found in low valcanic sand
ridges and alkali fists, and extend over
a distance of four or five miles in length
and about one mile in width. The
bones can be found on top of the earth
and sticking up through the drifting
sands by the hundreds and thousands,
from the size of a mouse upwards. My
informants have no knowledge of what
lies buried beneath the sand and alkali
flate, and all the specimens were taken
from the top of the ground. They say
there is a small alkali pond at the edge
of the small deposit of the petrified
bones, and over an area of about eighty
acres those large bones lie on the
ground. The largest bone measures
thirty inches in length, with no sign of
the knuckle on either end, and from
the shape of the ends we judge must
have been twelve or fourteen inches
longer. It is perfectly straight and
nearly round in the middle. The cir
cumference of the large end is sixteen
inches, and the smaller is twelve and
one-half inches. The next one is slightly
curved and rather flat, and has two
knuckles on the upper end. "We judge
it to tie in length, straight across from
tip to tip, twenty-lour inches; around
the curve twenty-eight inches. This
bone is as perfect as it ever was, and it
is petrified. Now comes the nicest
fossil of the whole, a part of the under
jawbone, thirteen inches long, six
inches wide at the widest end, and four
inches at the other. One side of the
bone has been split off and shows six
perfect teeth, firmly set in the jaw and
beautifully petrified. They measure
across one and one-fourth by one inch.
There is another tooth, though a jaw
tooth, that measures two and one-half
inches one way, that has been split
open ; 1 could not get the size the other
way. It is five and one-half inches
long. Now comes one of the strangest
of this strange bone deposit. Vast
quantities of stone arrow heads, 3uch
as were used by indians, are found
through these bones. It looks as though
these animals were surrounded by wa
ter, or perhaps got poisoned by the
water, and perished by the thousands ;
then some chemical properties in the
water or ground petrified them. There
are thousands of bones that are not
petrified From the San Francisco
Chronicle.

The Richmond Chair Company.
A L?e Maanfact-rlns; Establishment
with a Lire Mas at Its Head, aad Busi
ness, Brat as and Capital to Back It,
If you should ever visit Richmond, Indiana,
do not fail to observe its various busy manu
facturing establishments, and reflect that the
products of these various industries are found
throughout the great Northwest, in the shape
of household articles of taste, comfort and
utility. Among the manufacturing establish
ments of that town, there is one, although but
recently established, you will hardly overlook.
We refer to that of the "Richmond Chair Com
pany," at the head of which, as Superintend
ent, or Manager, is Mr. W. W. Crawford an
energetic, successful business man. He was
formerly foreman of the Delaware (Ohio)
Chair Co. The specialty of the Richmond
manufactory is that of double cane seat and
back chairs, of which they make some sixteen
or more different styles, using enameled, and
plain rattan for 6cats and backs. They have in
process of completion several new designs.
Among the chairs made by the Richmond
Company, we mention the Saratoga, patented
in August, 1S74. The Saratoga Ladies' Rocker
has an immense run. For real, solid, lasting
comfort, no other chair in the world is equal
to the Saratoga. There are but few manufac
turers of this kind of chairs, and we assure
the public and the trade that it has no supe
rior. Indeed, we think Mr. W. W. Crawford
has, without question, reached the acme of
perfection as to style, finish and general supe
riority, in the Richmond Chair. Styles are
made adapted to the office, library, kitchen
and table, balcony and lawn ; for gentlemen, la
dies and misses- The Company only started in
business, we believe, in April, of this year, but
already employ about sixty hands. Orders al
ready received have compelled them to enlarge
their facilities, and it is the intention to keep
pace with the increase of business. Mr. W.
TV. Crawford, and his son, Mr. J. E. Crawford,
who is also connected with the establishment,
have both had the experience requisite for the
building up of a prosperous and popular busi
ness, and their wares cannot fail to meet the
wishes of the trade and the public They de
sire a live furniture house in all of the whole
sale points in the West, with whom liberal
terms will be made. Dealers will consult
their interests by sending to the Richmond
Chair Company a sample order. Dubuque
