It is not enough that a hen as `plen- ty of wheat or other kinds of grain, or green food. If she does not have `the food in the proper porportion, or, in other words, a balanced ration she can not given us protable re- sults. `One kind of food in particular to make eggs, and a necessary food which a great many keeping hens- fail to provide for them, and that is fresh cut bone and lean meat. Pro- perl cured clover hay is another pou tr food that can hardly be dis- pense with; if we expect our hens to Jay when theyare closely housed or yarded,~yet' it is doubtful if one per- son in one hundred,_ -even among farmers who have. lenty of it, feed it to their hens.~ hese two foods contain theelements that go to make eggs, and .are in such. a form that `they can be readily a-nd easily con: verted `into eggs by the hens. They. help, too, a good eal in keeping the cckgin good heath and vigorous. It is a common thing to nd a iocki meal, is the richest and best grain ration known ,though it should be used with other grains to get the best results. When: obtained pure-' which is diicult, as` a rule--the feed- er can follow de-nite rules of mixt- ure with-other grains for feeding each class of stock, with highly sat-, isfactory results. 'But when, as is not .uncommon, the linseed meal is aclulterated with` uncertain propor- tions of less useful feed and irnpuriv ties, as shorts, cottonseedmeal, oil cake, millet seed, or common weed seed and dirt, then the farmer, be- sides losing the value of the food- stui't' itself, is likely,` togive upvthe use of linseed meal altogether.

Forl wintering beef cattle or breeding ani- mals, it is invaluable, and it cambe }mixed with the grain chops, using up \to one or two pounds per day. For. Enishi-ng beef, in stable, even as much as seven pounds may be used per day. For calves, its value is well known.

NORTHERN ADVANCE ---------mt yu -- -.---' ----- - - - The best manner of handling -a balk) horse always has `been, and doubtless will be, a matter_of o in- ioii. In most cases whipping oes not give good _results, but has a ten- dency tomake the animal more sul- ky Balky horses are generally the` result of ignorant, cruel_or rash treat-_ ment during the education (generally called breaking) -of the colt. Surly, rash, ill-tempered men, who expect a. colt to know more than themsel- ves, are usually responsible for the balkilng habit in horses. And once the habit has been contracted, it is very.hard- to check. Of course, colts vary greatly in disposition` and pre- disposition, hence some are much more easily spoiled than others. `At the same time,` it is seldom that a colt that has been kindly and intelli-` gently handled during. his rst -les-. sons, and that has been gradually taught to draw loads, makes a balker "to the average` horseman. A man who is compelled to do a certain amount of work with a horse` in a given-time must not have ai balker. The man who undertakes to cure a` balker must not be pressed for time. 'The balker must be carefully handled.` In the first place, the _harness, should t well, and the load_should not be "heavy. The driver must be. able tO\ control his temper, and not have re-{ source to the whip. When the horse; - `balks, he should be allowed to stand` `for a few minutes; if"the load be quite heavy, it should be lightened; The attention of the horse should be drawn to something other than his load. This may be done by giving. him an apple,.a little salt or oats,` or by tapping the shoe with a ham-, mer, etc., and, after a few minutes, if he is asked quietly to `go on, it is very probable he will do so. By kind and intelligent treatment for a] considerable time, most balkers cant be cured, and it is `possible one may} occasionally be met upon whom pun-i ._ ishment may have the desired effect. but in most _cases time and kind "treatment. are necessary. An ill-t.em- . pered or passionate man should nev-. er undertake to cure _a balker; while, I on the other hand. if the. horse h'as IV "" been required to draw a heavy load, without sufficient education, he is very liable to become sull especial- 1y if he has suliicient. ambition, ener- . ,gy and spirit to make a goodhorse.` The richest British-born lady is the Marchioness of `Graham, a pearl among women, noble in thought and deed, and generous to the extremes of generosity.
