eggs »re so clump mid plenty iliel •i<i|»*l 
count for much at this season." 
Mr. 
B. (in December)—“How arc your 
liens laying, Mr. C , this cold weather?'” 
Mr. C.—“Not at all; shut down com¬ 
pletely; old liens on a strike, pullets 
neglecting business shamefully; eggs are 
way up in price, but I’ve none —* M 
Hmv is it with you?” 
Mr. B.—“ Well, 1 don't know; your 
liens and mine are different.” 
Mr. V. — 1 “Oh, yes, of course; nuj hens 
are scrubs, and yours an:"— 
Mr. B.—“Hold on; don’t get mud be 
cause 1 say mv fowls lire dilfer.-iit from 
yours. They may not bo any better in 
blood than yoursjmt I study to make my 
hens pay for what they rat, and for mv 
time und labor in caring- for them. They 
do it, and largely, by laying eggs when eggs 
are high-priced; that is, in cold weather, 1 
first give care to their ipiaiters in winter. 
A warm, sunny place for them, or tto e ,r gs; 
put that down." 
Mr. C.—“All right; go on,’* 
Mr. B. With a warm house, und dry 
house, and dry earth to dust in, they am 
well provided for in that direction. Next 
1 don't expect liens to lay forever. After 
a lien has laid eggs for me two winters,she

House; nothing but young yearling liens 
and pullets; they arc the ones for winter 
'«Vi"g, and mind you, the profitable fowl is 
this winter layer, j look out for my pul- 
lets, too; get them out early, and keep 
them growing, so they will begin to lay 
just before cold weather; then they will 
keep at it a fter cold weal her begins. Again,

Tho weight of an ordinary fowl's egg is 
one and a half to two ounces; while t hat of 
I a duck is two to three ounces; of the sea¬ 
gull and turkey, three to four ounces, and 
that of the goose four to six ounces. Sev 
enty.four per cent of an egg is water, in 
which respect il is very similar to fish, lean 
meiii and potatoes. Ut the remaining 
twenty-six per cent about fourteen is nitro- 
| gamma and ten percent is fatty matter, 
rim while of the egg contains nil fat, but 
has more water alul iilburm n than the yolk, I 
while ilie latter contains all the fat and 
sulphur. An egg of average size contains 
iilumt two hundred grains of dry substance, 
of which nearly tiny p.-r cent is nitro¬ 
genous forty percent fatty and eleven per 
cent saline matters. In nitrogenous snb- 
-st.-ince the white of an egg recede that of I 
all known food, except peas, cheese and 
poultry.
