the fingers ; if it works dry and elias,

sticky, it is poor. Flour made from
Spring Wheat is likely to be sticky.

powder it is bad. 4. Squeeze some
of the -four in your hand, if it retains
the shape given it by the pressure,
that, too, is a good sign. Flour that

Treatment of Hens.

An uncredited paragraph in an
exchange says: "Two docks of hens
were compared. One laid eggs all
the time. The other laid scarcely
any. On examing their treatment
the following differences were found
to exist: The former had a warm GEL
lar to roost in during the winter the
latter roasted in a stable where the
wind blew in. The former had a
fine place in an open cellar for scratch
ing among ashes, lime and earth /;
the latter scratched in the manure
heap, or in the stable where the COWS
were put out. The former had plenty
of good water, with milk, etc., the
other had no drink except what they
could find. 1t can be seen, we think,
why one flock laid eggs generously,
and the other did not"
