coxocctri1 by ixdbx. It is stated that tho state of Oregon will export 250,000 ton* of wheat this i year. How much of it will reach Cape May? The farmer who manure* highly, cul1 ti votes often, and seed* freely, i* seldom j heard to complain of poor crops. It is | an old maxim, and a true one, that "Providence helj* those who help thornI selves.'* I The "Rural Guide" says, "whenever you see, n farm ujkih which year after year no improvement i* made, you may be sure that liic farm or neither rend*, observe*, nor think*," and is not likely to succeed* To winter stock economically, and ut the same time have them cnnio out in 1 good order in the spring, lie sure they enter winter quarters in good condition. An nnimul in good order requires le** food than one that is lean. Stock thai I i* |»oor in the fall is invurinblv so in the j spring, although they may have been i fed abundantly and had the best of attention. They should also be well housed in the winter, at least a sufficient protection from storms to keep them dry, whether lean or fat. Now is tho time to fix up vour burns and sheds so that your stock may have comfortable quarters as well a* yourself, A writer in the Farmer's Magazine give* the following on the subject of hen* eating their egg*.

During this time wc have novel* lost an egg by hen outing. In uddition to giving our hens tho shells, wo invariably odd any that happen to get broken in picking them up. In tnom they get tho yolk and white and yet these have not taught them to break a singlo ogg of themselves for tho purpose of eating it. In the "London Livo Stock Jour nal" of June 4th, a correspondent write* that lie "has followed the practice of giving his egc shells to his hens •for fifteen years, ana not a single one of his flock fiaa been made an egg eater," on the contrary it was a sure preventive, 0* the shells gave them aik tliey craved for to assist in forming eggs.
