BREEDING Fowls Talking about
breeding fowls, a writer in Wilkes
Spirit says: lam great advocate for
choosing young birds for this purpose,
and recommend that early pullets be
selected every year for stock the fol-
lowing season, and put with two-year-
old cocks, for instance. Pullets
Matched in May attain their growth
and become perfect in shape, size and
health before the chlls of winter
They should be put with cocks of two
years old, when they will lay on the
first appearance Of mild weather, and
their produce has the same advantage
as these have had before them. | do
not advocate having young stock
fowls so much on account of their lay
ing early, as ] do for the superiority
of their breeding Neither is it de-
sirable to breed from fowls of all the
same ape. Where it can be done, it
is better TO put two-year old cock
With pullets, and rice cerSd. 1t is
well to introduce fresh cocks of pure
blood into the yard every second year
this prevents degeneracy, and for the
same reason no cock should be KEEP
more than three seasons, nor n her
more than four, if it is intended tC
keep them in the highest possible per
lection and efficiency

DIET. Let your food be plain,
coarse, nutritious, well prepared
Avoid condiments. A little self-denial
may be necessary at first, but You will
soon find that spices, pepper and vim
egar are not necessary to make your
food palatable Three meals a dav
are entirely sufficient, and beware of
lunches. Eat fruit pleniifully, but al
your meals, of which it should form q
part. Don't eat too much. As n gen.
eral thing, the American people cal
more than they need. II the stom.
ach is oyerworked, the brain canno
do so good service AS none claim
that tea and coffee are essential {,
health, while many hold that they ar
detrimental, you will err on the sat
SIDE II at all, by sustaining from thei
use.

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH SOAP SUBS p
OF them the Scottish Farmer SAYS:
Although generally deemed only fit
for being run off into the common
sewer in the easiest and most expedi-
tious manner possible, they are never
theless highly beneficial vegetable
feeders, as well as useful insect pre-
ventives. Hence they should never
be wasted, especially by parties hav.
ing gardens, as their application tC
the ground, whether in winter or sum
mer, will show benefcially not only on
ordinary vegetable crops, but also on
berry bushes, shrubs, border flowers
and even window pot plants; while i
poured or syringed over roses, cab
bages, etc, they viii prevent, or Al
least mitigate, tho mischieyous doing,
of the green fly and caterpiller.

How 10 find Water.

The following statement will be OF
interest to those who are about to dig
wells on their premises, where the IA
ciity in finding spring is Of more i'm
portance than its location. 1t has the
appearance, at least, of being rational,
in which respect it differs widely from
the witch-hazel theory.
At recent meeting of the Amer
lean Institute Farmers Club, a mem
Der related his experience in this mat
ter as follows:
Gan Irishmau in his employ, in or
der to ascertain whore he ought to
dig to obtain water soonest got a
stone and buried it over night
next to the hardpan. In the morn
ing he found it quite moist, but
not sufficiently so to suit his taste.
Next morning he tried it in another
spot, and found it very wet on the fol-
lowing morning. There, said Pat
rick, you will find water not many
feet deep, and plenty of it. Sure
enough, in few days digging Pat
rick confirmed his prediction, notwith-
standing the ieers of the workmen
finding vein which filed to overflow
ing, and rendered it extremely diff
cult to bail out the water 50 as &c
stone it. The philosophy of the ope
ration seems to be that rs great evap
Grafton takes place from the surfac,
of the earth during the night, the wa
ter rises up from the depths below t.
supply the loss, and accumuiates il
the vicinity of the stone, often making
quite a puddle
