Poultry I'm Large Numbers.

THE London FSetd lately had an article
on the failures that seemed to have uni
versally occurred in attempts to keep
fowls in large numbers. In conclusion it
says:
There are two reasons for this inevitable
result one is, that when large number
OF fowls are crowded together or kept in
one place, the ground becomes tainted
with manure, and disease invariably breaks
out. This is more particularly true of
chickens, for in every attempt to rear
large number in confined space, the NOR
tality is excessive
The employment of an incubator in this
climate will always be found failure, for
this simple reason that il is impossible to
rear the chickens when they have been
Matched. The Matching process is suffi.
GENTLY easy but chickens are of no value
Whatever without you have hens to brood
them. The only manner in which an in
cubato- can be usefully employed is by
Matching an extra number of eggs so as to
give each hen full brood of chickens.
Used in this way we have known small
incubators very serviceable; but when
employed to hatch chickens that are to be
reared by artificial mothers, we have never
seen them used with advantage.

The Malaria of SDring.

Everybody should now be on their guard against
the great danger of disease arising from malarious
causes. Fever and Ague prevails to an alarming
extent every Spring in nearly all parts of the
country, and many persons are easily predisposed

winter months. Indeed, very much of the sick
ness we notice in the Spring of The year may be
traced to causes which were engendered in the
- cold term" But whether the cause lies hidden
IN the system or not, it is certain thatdisease will
develop itself at the first opportunity, hence no

AN exchange says a superb crop of po-
tatoes was raised in the Blue Ridge region
OF Virginia in this wise "The soil was
sandy loan, covered with thick sod of
many years standing. This sod was turned
over four inches deep, with heavy three.
horse bar shear plow The seed was Drop
ped in every other furrow, and covered
by the inverted sod of the succeeding
furrow. AS soon as the planting was fin
ished, light harrows were run over the
surface until 1t was level ard smooth.
After the potatoes were well up, another
narrowing was given, and then one more
working with cultlvators made as fine
crop as we ever saw. Now, here was
process differing very materially from that
laid down as the proper one to be pursued
In the cultivation of potatoes. We give
it here, not as worthy of imitation, but
simply as an agricultural fact of more or
less value. The area cultivated was
large one-ffty acres-and time was want
Ing 10 give the ground thorough prepar-
alton The secret of success probably, in
this instance, was loose bed, formed by
the decaying sod, and an uncommonly
good season. Fifty bushels of gypsu 10
