Feeding fob Eggs. — For the production 
of eggs the food should contain an ample 
supply of those ingredients that make up the 
egg. An averago egg weighs about 1,000 
grains, divided as follows Shell, 107 ; white, 
004 ; of yolk, 2S9. The shell is composed 97 
per centum carbonate of lime, one per cen- 
tum phosphate of lime and magnesia, and 
and two per centum albuman ; the yolk of 04 
per centum water, 2.80 per centum yellow 
oil, and 1.74 per centum albumen; and the 
white, 85 per centum water, 2.7 per centum 
mucus, 0.3 per centum salts and 12 per cen- 
tum albumen. Therefore a food contain- 
ing albuminoids and fats should be employed. 
The nalual food of the fowl consists of in- 
sects, seeds, vegetable matter, etc. There- 
fore there Bhould be a variety of grains, ani- 
mal matter in the form of scraps of meat, 
etc., or pressed sernps, chopped cabbage, 
apples, etc., or, as has been practiced, finely 
cut and steamed clover hay. There should 
be variety at all times, and Indian meal 
scalded aud well seasoned with pepper, or 
chopped horse-radish will be very effective. 
A recent writer prescribed scalded Indian 
meal made into a mush, which wus cooked an 
hour or two aud then fed hot, with horse- 
radish. It was recommended to cook food 
of all kinds, and feed hot. This might be 
well as a stimulent, but corn meal must 
be combined with animal food to produce 
eggs. A supply of powered shells or bone 
should be provided, hot only to aid digest- 
ion, but furnish egg shell material. A corres- 
pondent of the Plymouth Chronicle mixed 
hog's lard with the dough lie gave bis bens, 
ana asserts that a piece as large as a hickory 
nut will set a lieu to laying immediately af- 
ter she is brokon up from sitting; aud that by 
feeding a little occassonly bens may be made 
to lay all winter . — Live /Stock Journal.
