Early Chickens.

Early chickens like early vegetables bring
profitable prices hence any suggestions that
will show farmers how to increase their profits
in this direction, will be Of value.
Usually, with proper care, few broods of
chickens may be hatchcd very early, on almost
any farm When hen wants to set, say any
time in January, | give her moderate num-
Der Of eggs and allow her to commence bust
ness. The first danger is that the sharp
weather of January may chill the eggs, when
the hen leaves the nest to search for food. II
The hen house could be kept warm by stove
it would undoubtedly pay, not only to protect
the eggs Of sitting hens, but to promote lay
ing among the rest. When the first eggs
hatch, give the hen the warmest place you have
about your prcmises-some spot where she
and the brood can enjoy the sun when it shines
and where chilling winds do not reach her.
The chickens will require great deal ofhov-
cring and for the first week or two most hens
will do their full duty in this respect towards
their progeny but at the end Of ten days or a
fortnight. they will become more careless and
less inclined to quiet The true course, then, is
to transfer the chickens to another hen just
Matching, if it be possible. In fact, to provide
for this contingency, after setting the first hen
of the season, others should be set every week
or two through the cold season, partly with a
view to the continued care of the first chick
ems. There will be no difficulty in making
the transfer, if 10 be done at night while the
eggs are Matching, or before the hen leaves the
nest and has become iamilinrizod to the ap-
peannco of her chickens Black, white, spcck
led, striped, large or small, are alike accepta-
bic TO her if she can be made to believe that
she hatched them. Honcc, the best time for
making good stepmother of her, is to put
the chicks under her at night but any other
time before her own chickens become lively
/ will do, provided you make no special display
Of them so that She can compare them with
her own brood. If you do, you will stand q
good chance to fail.
For winter chickens, then, a now mother,
az soon as the old one becomes careless or
"iussy," is the special need. The other rcqui-
sites will be apparent. They cannot run out,
but must be provided with the dricst and
warmcst quarters possible and have plenty of
good food cracked corn, scaldcd meal, buck
wheat, hay scotland at night must be made
secure against rats, or any danger of getting
out Of their nests and being chilled to death.
As TO diseases | do not find that they are
more subject to them than later chickens in
fact, | raised a much greater proportion OF
those Matched last year in January, February,
and very early in March, than of those hatch
ed at later dates. With good hennery, kept
at pretty equable temperature, (which
have not yet tried,) should have small fears
of plenty of eggs in md-wiuter, plenty of
chickens in January and February, and very
respectable profits from the business in April,
May and June.

When milk pans become loaty, don't throw
them away, but cut of the bottoms and re.
bottom them; it will not cost half as much
as new pan, and will be just as good as
new.

Shelter for Cattle.

MHssRs. EDTToRs II wish to call the at
tention of farmers again to the necessity or
mercy of giving their animals shelter or pro-
lection from storms and cold winds. Last
evening as | was returning from meeting
in an adjoining town, about ten O'Clock, saw
cattle along the roadside, trying to screen
themselves behind fences and stone walls,
from the piercing winds which had blown
their hair full Of snow, so that they were all
Of one color, completely covered with the
fine frozen, sitting snow. | thought to my
self If the owner would only put a rude hoyel,
boarded on the ends, ON the wall, what a com.
fort to the cattle, and to the owner too 1t
would cost but little, and how happy it would
make the owner. Brother farmers, please do
think Of it and act upon it.
This morning when awokc, wife said
DO you know that it is broad daylight ?
What care | for broad daylight? Every
thing ! have the care of, is in comfortable
quarters; the COWS, oxen and horses, are all

nothing Of the wind and snow that is raging
outside; the young cattle are lying on a good

CLOVER AND TIMoTHY.--A. Hadley, in a
communication to the Northwestern Farmer,
gives what he regards three important reasons
why clover should always be grown with tim
othy. First, the clover being tap-rooted pen
etrates deeply, stands drouth, mellows the
soil, and the timothy grows much stronger
and holds up the clover. Secondly, if sown
for pasturage, the timothy almost universally
prevents the clover from swelling cattle
Thirdly hay is too binding, especially for cat
tie, and clover too washy, lsuccuent,) hence
both together are better than either alone To
these we may add under the head of the first,
that where grass comes in a rotation, it is of
the utmost Importance on clay soil, that at
least part of this grass crop be clover 1t
will serve to mellow and loosen the heavy soil
in remarkable degree, so that when turned
over with a pillow, it will not only be rich, but
loose and friable. If ON the other hand, tim
othy alone is sown, (which some do because
the hay sells botter) the sod will turn over
heavy and cammy, and be unfit for any cror
which is to follow. The same correspondent
says that he 10 portal to rye for calf or sheos
