great safeguard against foxes, skunks,
crows, hawks, and other creatures that
destroy the birds or their eggs. When
the young first come off the nests they
are confined in pens for few days I'M
til they are strong enough to fly over
board inclosure one foot high. He
feeds frequently with coarse corn meal
and sour milk until four O'Clock in the
afternoon He found in his experience
that he lost good many chicks from
the food hardening in the crop. There
is danger from overlooking. AS the
chicks grow, the sour-milk diet is in
creased, and during the Summer it is
kept constantly in trough for them
They are exceedingly fond of sour milk
and butter milk, and they grow very
rapidly upon this diet An incidental
advantage, and very important one
he thinks, is that the young birds are
prevented from straying very far from
the house. They return many times
during the day to the butter-milk
trough for their favorite food This,
with Indian meal, constitutes their
principal food until midsummer, when
insects are more abundant, and they
wander farther from the house. This
method can easily be tried on dairy
farms

A HANDY GARDEN ROLLER.
Cor. Country Gentleman.

Cor. Country Gentleman.
Take joint of stovepipe, 6, I or
inches in diameter; set one end upon
an inch board. and with a scratch-awl
or pencil mark around on the inside
reverse the pipe and mark the other
end. Then with o pair of compasses
find the center of these two wheels,
and strike around their circumference,
allowing for the thickness of the iron.
Saw or cut them true and round bore
a hole with bit in their centers, to
receive shaft of half-inch round iron
about three inches longer than the
length of pipe. Now fit in one of these
heads, and upset the sheet-iron pipe
over it enough to hold it firmly in place
Put the shaft in, and set the whole on
its end on the ground, taking care that
the shaft stands true and lastly put
in a quart or two of dry sand, and
lamp it hard with suitable hammer,
repeating the operation till the pipe is
full to within one inch of the top. Fit
in the other end with the shaft in place;
upset the iron over it as before, and
you have roller as serviceable as one
of all iron, and at almost no cost. To
fit it for use, make box of inch stuff;
fit handle to it, sloping at an angle of
twenty degrees from the bottom board ::
put cross head to the END of it, and
for garden or walk roller this cannot
be beaten. If wanted heavier, it can
be loaded with brickbats or earth; and
for wheeling stones or rubbish off gar
den or lawn, or newly plowed or spad-
ed grounds, it will be pronounced by
all who try it tip-top." Any man or
boy who can use saw, plane and ham,
mer, can make one in few hours, and
with decent care it will last as many
years.

WHAT is A FLOODED HORSE He
is horse having more than an ordi-
nary amount of drops or pounds of
blood in his system, in proportion
to the size and weight This large
amount of blood acts upon his system
through large heart, aad correspond
ingly large arteries and veins; and put
in motion, it acts in driving him to
speed, the same as an increased amount
of fire under the boiler drives off
greater amount of steam, and makes
the machinery go faster This large
amount of blood also acts in refining
the skin, making it and the horse finer
than in horse of less bio cd it refines
and gives elasticity to the muscles, the
feet, ETC.; it refnes the entire horse,
making strong the valuable parts, and
fitting the whole system for speed and
endurance.

The Feeding OF Young Turkeys.
'm the american Agricultural.

From the american Agricultural.
Why is it that one farmer will raise
nearly every turkey-chick that comes
out of the shell, and do this nine years
out of ten, without much respect to
wet or dry seasons, while another loses
from half to three-quarters with about
the same uniformity? We know of
men with whom success is the estab-
lished rule. They are very systematic
in this, as in all their other business.
We visited one of these thrifty farmers,
who raised l65 turkeys last year from
hens, and upon inquiry found he nine
did about the same thing every year.
We wanted to know just how he man.

found him communicative. He insists
upon good stock to begin with-the
best always selected to breed FROM
Then he places great reliance upon reg

PAsTURING HoGs.-A correspo ndent
of the Country Gentleman" writing
from Hamilton county, Ohio, says the
system of all good hog raisers in that
region is to pasture hogs on clover
during the Summer. He presents, as
the advantage of his plan, the state
ment that an acre of ground in clover,
will pasture five hogs four months, and
that it will take the corn from half an
acre to feed them the same time. The
cultivation of the corn he counts equal
to the rent of the other half acre. He
further claims that the hogs pastured
on clover are in far better condition
than if fed on corn, as they are larger
framed, healthier, and eat better, and
also states that the land is enriched by
the clover pasturing.

w An old farmer, in the German

coating the bark of fruit and ornamental
trees with whitewash, is one that can
not be too severely deprecated. The
obstruction of respiratory organs and

source of disease, and in time proves
fatal to the tree. When the bark be.

THOROUGH CULTIvATIoN.-The Live
Stock Journal" says: Farmers are
generally too much in a hurry in the
Spring to cultivate thoroughly, so as
to have a fine filth of the surface
Nothing will pay better than extra cul-
tivation. We would rather have extra
cultivation, than moderate manuring
with poor working of the soil. The
rule should be to sow no more ground
than can be well worked, this would
produce more bushels of grain than
more acres poorly put in. We have
found an extra working to produce fifty
per cent more gain.

Profits from Twelve Cows In One Year.

more in the Spring l did not have

made in the month of June 439 l-2 lbs.
of butter, and did not use the milk of
one COW for ten days of that time. l
bought farrow cow the middle of
October, making thirteen for the rest of
the year, and call it to average twelve
during the year
We used in the family 1S6 pounds,
besides seventy pounds bought. Sold
2,450 pounds for $l,122O5, averaging
about Al cents per pound, delivered in
Boston. The Summer butter sold in
the tub from 35 to 40 cents per pound ;
the rest of the year in lump for sixty
cents, sent to market each week. The
meal fed to the cows during the year
cost $197.
The skim milk was fed to calves and
hogs l sold 1920 worth of calves,
pigs, and pork, and saved 500 pounds
of pork for family use. Ten dollars
