Save the Best Fowls for Breeding.

1t is the worst possible policy to kill all
the best and handsomest towels, and save
only the mean and scraggy ones to breed
from. This is precisely the way to run out
your stock for like tends to breed like,
and the result is, that by continually TAX
ing away the best birds, and using the eggs
of the porest, your flock will grow poorer
and pooer every succeeding year.
1t would seem as though this was too
plain to be insisted upon, but in fact, cline
upon line" is needed. 1t is the crying
want of the poultry upon the farms the
country through-this careful and intelli-
gent selection of the best for breeding.
Nothing is lost by little self-denial to
start with. The extra pound or two OF
poultry flesh that you leave on its legs, in
stead of sending it TO the market, is az good
seed, and will bring forth ten-fold and
twenty-fold in your future broOds. Save
your best stock for breeding Poultry

Breaking Land.

The Southern Cultivator for February
favors us with the following pointed hints
The present and the next month are apt
to be rainy, and the land, in consequence,
not often in condition to receive the pillow.
We urged our readers in the autumn
months to press forward their ploughing.
If they do so, we congratulate them now
on freedom from the harrassing apprehen-
sion that if they wait for land to get in
proper condition, they may fail to finish
up before planting time-or If disregard~
ing the condition of their lands, they push
on, many find them after the winds of
snring have passed over them, in worse
condition than if they had never been
touched. To those who have been so UNI
fortunate as to be caught between the two
horns of this dilemma, our advice is take
the chances of getting through in time,
and plough only when the land is sutfi-
GENTLY dry. See the plough gear, the
double and single trees, and the ploughs
themselves, in the best possible condition,
so as not to lose amOment of precious time.
Provide extra ones of such things as are
liable to get of order-be on hand yourself
to repair every breach promptly. Look
well ahead, and during wet weather do all
necessary work, as milling, hauling wood,
sending TO blacksmith's shop, and other
avoidable things, so that none OF these
HAY Cldllll dlltullOll III ltill NtdNllC4s '1Nb
stitute management for routine, and you
will in all probability come out right in
the end.
Stubble and rested land should receive
attention first. Instead of ploughing these
in lands 10 or 20 feet wide, it is decidedly
better to lay off the rows and bed up regu-
larly. 1t is easier TO run the level on the
smooth surface before ploughing, than ON
the rough one after. Besides, the laying
off of guide rows can be done leisurely
during wet times, whereas, if delayed till
spring, time il apt 10 press heavily. Du;
the greatest advantage is, that land thrown
up in beds, does not become so badly
"water sogged" as that lying fiat, and the
healthy action of the atmosphere is very
much greater in the former than the latter.

4 Varied Diet for Fowls.

There are no animals more OmniVerOus
than fowls fish, flesh, herbs, and grains
being devoured 10y them with equal relish.
We say equal, for though they commonly
pounce upon meat with greater avidlty
than upon grain, this is generally because
it affords a rarity, and a flock kept for
awhile almost entirely on animal food will
show the same greed for few handfuls of
corn.
Now, those animals accustomed to use
varied diet should not be confined TO an
unvarying one. There are, indeed, some
species which are naturally limited to one
or a few kinds of food. Thus, cattle do well
enough, although kept month after month
ON grass alone, and tiger Will thrive with
nothing but lean meat upon his bill of
fare. But with other animals, as with the
human race, for instance, the case is diff
ferent, for no person can maintain the
highest efficiency when confined to one
article of food. No matter how fond we
may be of particular dish, We lose relish
for it when allowed nothing else for num-
Der of consecutive meals, and the intense
craving for variety indicates as its source
something more than mere appetite. II
gives evidence of real necessities of the sys
tenn which are constantly varying witt
the changing circumstances OF weather
employment and other conditions.
The fondness for variety shown by fowl
is as significant of real needs as we hav,
found it to be in ourselves. In purveyinl
for them, judicious variety, selected from
the three general divisions-.fresh uegeta
6leS, grain and animal tood-is at all sea
sons absolutely necessary for young an
old, in order to make them perfectly Thrift
ty. True, they will not starve on har
corn and water, neither will they pay
profit so kept.-Tho Poultry World.
