During the winter months, poultry Of all
kinds, if tolerably fed, are apt to become We
ry fat; and it is during this period that eggs
are scarcest, and OF course dearest.-To
remedy this in some measure, several farm
ers' wives in this neighborhood, are actually
in the habit of physicing their chuckies and
the practice is said to have wonderful ct
feet in restoring their suspended laying pow
ers. The recipe is exceedingly cheap and
simple, and may be recorded here for the
benefit of hem wives in other quarters. Di-
Lutte and mix two ounces of glauber salts in
dish of cold porridge, or any other food,
and scatter the same we'll aboutthe poultry
yard, SO that no bird may eat too much; and
afthe effects are not apparent in two or three
days, repeat the dose at intervals, till the
accumulation of eggs indicate that you have
gone far enough. On farm not many miles
from this, town, the family complained that
although they had dozens of lazy hens they
could not get single egg to breakfast. and
this circumstance reminded one of the
daughters of the necessity of having recourse
to her wanted charm. To work therefore
she set, to the great annoyance of an Eng
lish dairy-maid, who averred that also sh'
had hundreds of poultry under her charge
she never before heard of such thing, ant
shat she was sure the birds would all de-
Miss ----, however, persevered, and in tn
course of a very few days, Easther found sew
eral eggs, and from that moment declare
herself firm convert to the improved meth
cd of managing poultry.
