' Corn Fodder and Pumpkins. —J. H. Jenne, in the 
Boston Cultivator, says that two cows, in fine order, 
fed on corn-fodder, and with each a large pumpkin a 
day, gave fourteen quarts of milk per day. When the 
corn-fodder and pumpkins were gone, they were fed on 
good hay, when they fell off to seven quarts per day. 
Hens eating their eggs. —Hens, it is well known, 
when kept shut up, are very apt to eat their eggs. 
The best preventive is to keep them well supplied with 
lime and gravel, and with meat in some form. The 
nest should be so deep in the boxes that they cannot 
reach them while standing on the edge. 
Barley. —Myron Adams, of East Bloomfield, N. Y., 
states that nine premium barley crops have been raised 
in that township in the last six years; the greatest 69 
bushels per acre, the least. 48-| bushels; the average, 
59| bushels; the average cost., including interest on 
land. $10; average price, 50 cents; average nett pro¬ 
fit, $14 per acre. They all grew after well manured 
corn; the amount of seed sown, in nearly every case, 
was 3 bushels per acre.
