14y attention was firob called to the fact
by a breeder of ooneiclerable prominence,
He had boon coked what brood of fowls ho
considered the hest layers. Mitt reply was
that thequestion was a decidedly hard ono
to answer. Continuing be said :

poseeeslug much white, or purelywhite

also observed that black fowls beget a
larger per cent ofchickens from eggs set,
and of a more vigorous nature, 1 tom free to
say, thou h, that it goes against my grain
to admit this, because on general principles
, I dislike dark•Oolored fowls. They almost
invariably have black loge, whiah moans
a blush•whitesltin, both of which aro de-
testibl11 to me. I love a rich • yellow leg
and yellow skin every mote. But if eggs
were the mole object of .my keepinee. fowls
I certainly would select sumo black or at
least nark plumaged fowls."
This is to subjeot worthy the earnest
consideration of those who keep poultry
purply for eggs. Whether this gentleman
is right or wrong is not for me to say. I
give you his words just as they wore given
to me, and you must drag your own con-
clusions. It ie surely a very interesting
theme and those in to position to do so
would do well to prove the correctness or

Rolling Meadow Land.
Rolling the meadow, and somebimos the
pastureland, as soon as the frost leaves the
ground in the spring, is often done byprac-
tical farmers. The action of frost often
throws may stones to the surface, and
when the ground becomes settled these
impediments are thus loft in a position to
cause serious injury cc the cutting appara-
tus of the mowing machine. Upon land
liable to heave by motion of frost tate sur-
face soil is left uneven, many tufts of
timothy are nearly thrown out of the soil,
and these the roller presses down smooth,
not only insuring a hotter and more healthy
growth, but lebeliug the field for the more
economical gathering of the crop. Fall
sown wheatand rye fields are often benefit-
ed by rolling, which should be done the
same day that the field is seeded to clover,
or anon after, as the action of the roller, in
crushing lumps and mellowing the surface,
makes a good seed bed and covers a large
proportion of the clover seed.
Profitable Hog Raising.
The firstpoint to bo kept in view in hog
raising is to grow the frame. Thu seoond
is to put on flesh. Some fanners try to do
both atone° instead of one at a time, and
fail in oonsenuence. The next important
question is when the pig should be farrowed
so as to be handled moth economically.
This involves the consideration of tempera-
ture, and proper food. Temperature en-
ters largely into the economy of food. A
bunoh ot hoge that had been gaining on
anaverage one hundred and fifty pounds
per week while the temperature was favor-
able, bringing me fifty emits per bushel for
corn, dropped in cold weather to thirty.
eight pounds per week, giving Inc.about
twelve cents per bushel for corn, while the
market value of Dorn was thirty oents. A
neighbor had a Luuoh that nn :December
averaged two hundred and thirty pounds,
and he kept them until February. He
seemed satisfied if they held their own. lie
is throwing away hie feed at that reeulb,
unless there is a groat advance in the prion
of pork.
If the pig is farrowed the first of Mardi
or April, and weaned in two months, there
will bo plenty of green food, milk, end slop,
and the boat average temperature for the
year. By the first of September the pig
should have o, one hundred and twenty-five
pounds fratne, and then be fattened and
sold before mold weather begins. A farmer
said recently t "I have hogs weighing
three hundred pervade that wore dt'o pod
e the seventeenth day of Juno last." .1 rc•
plied that S have some that were dropped
about the twenty-fifth of Juno which, while
well, did not weigh over ane hutidra'l
pantie, and hemi not: been hungry since
they would oat corn.. He had fed his hogs
plenty of milk, and said no food wilt grow
the frame of a hog like milk. Surely throe
hundred pounds at five and nye-half menthe
old is very strong proof. Another farmer
asked if my hogs were first litters. On
affirming his question, he said that made
the df0eroteo; that first litters did nab
grow as fast, as linter ottes. This foot I had
noticed, having both kinds together. The

As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been
able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and
harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most
delicate individual. Nine -tenths of all the ailments to which the human
family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired diger-
ticrs. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a
general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the
result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the
right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments
disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all
the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the
first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not con-
tain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair
the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves.
For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied.
This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the
essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts
for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous de-
rangement.

CaAWF0llnsvxLran, IND,, June 22, 1887.
My daughter, eleven years old, was severely afflicted wltk St. Vitus' Dance
or Chorea. We gave her three and ono -half bottles of South American Nen'
vine and she is completely restored. I believe it will cure every case of St.
Vitus' Dance. I have kept it in my family for two years, and am sure it is
the greatest remedy in the world for Indigestion and Dyspepsia, and for an
forma of Nervous Disorders and Failing Health, from whatever cause.
