The Mighty Egg. 
- ‘The following lines are7culled from an American 
~ journal : — 
‘fell me not in broken measures 
~~ - Modern farming does not pay, 
4 For a farm produces chickeus, 
Ard the hens—do they not lay ? 
Eegs are high and going higher, 
And the price is soaring fast ; 
Every time we get to market 
It is higher than the last, 
Not a coop but it produces 
Eyery day an egg or two, 
So each farmer gains his millions, 
"Even though the hens be few, 
Every egg is very precious, 
And the hens are held in awe. 
When a hen begins to cackle 
Then ths farmer goes “* Haw, haw!” 
Jn the broad and busy farmyard — 
Struts a rooster now and then, 
But the shrewd, bewhiskered farmer 
Only notices the hen. 
Trust no rooster, howe’er showy, 
Be the feathers in his tail ; 
Pay attention to the biddies, 
And your wealth will never fail. 
Lives of farmers all remind us 
We may roll In wealth some day 
If we hustle to the market 
With the eggs our puilets lay. 
a RE 
Anyone can get eggs in summer when they’re 
cheap. ‘I'ry to be different. ; ; 
Cold storage eggs will never sell as high as 
new laids—try for the latter, 
A plentiful supply the year round depends on 
good breeding, rearing and feeding, ' 
Some poultrymen would get as many winter 
eggs out of a brass hen as others would from the

Rae Hee don’t get eggs blame the hens every 
‘time, ‘he boss will be pretty sure to blame you, 
Seon eggs are always going cheap, 
j Strictly fresh eggs alwys sell at good prices.

Tf the pullets aren’t laying look for lice or 
worms.

every egg counts. 
How ro CLEAN A Buaay.—All owners of such 
vehicles as buggies. pony-traps, or cabs know 
what a difficult matter it is to perfectly clean 
them after travelling through mud and slush. 
They are hosed down, washed with a cloth o: 
sponge, and yet when dry the polished wheel- 
spokes and bodies appear smudged and unclean, 
To overcome this, try a recipe—After washing th» 
mud, dust, etc., from your buggies, carriages, an J 
wagons let them get dry. Then take linseed oil 
anJ saturate a sponge or cloth and go all over th> 
buggy. You can see at once the effects. It will 
take the mud stains and spots all away, and give 
the trap a gloss and appearance of a new vehicle. 
We have practised this for quite a while, and it

3M aie RuEUMATISM—Prom an exchange 
we take the followiag remedy fer rheumatism 
which is vouched for by a lady who was a victim, 
to rheumatism and sciatica. The remedy is 
Keotton-batting,” or cotton wool in sheets. For 
weeks sho had suffered from sciatica, and, remem. 
bering that}she had seen cotton wool used for 
rheumatism successfully, swathed her leg in it 
from hip to toe In less than a week she was u> 
and about the house. The pain left eatirely, and 
did not recur. Acute rheumatism and obstinate 
neuralgia will yield to the same treatment. 
When the pain hus ceased, the wrapping shoul l 
jiot be remoyed too suddenly, as the parts whic 
were covered are very sensitive to cold. Ther - 
fore, somthing less bulky should be worn fora 
‘ little time after removing the cotton batting.
