AsIve been remarkably successful with
this most tender of all fowls, will give
my plan of feeding, which is, simply, feed
nothing raw. prefer feeding corn bread
made of unsitted meal and cold water.
Make the dough stiff and bake in slow
oven until done, no more. If baked too
long the crust will be hard, and if the meal
is slited the bread will be sticky. Enough
can be baked at once to last several DAYS,
and Is more convenient than mixing raw
meal every feed. think it well to feed
all young fowls in this manner, but always
found 1T absolutely necessary to bake bread
for turkeys and common ducks. The Ayles-
bury are more hardy, but l follow my
old plan and bake bread for them also. /
have fifty seven at this writing that are
growing nicely.
Lice are often the cause of ill health in
young fowls and must be got rid of before
they will thrive well. | prefer using an
ointment made by stewing tobacco in lard
to anything else have tried. Anoint the
breast and under part Of the wings of the
mother, and head and under parts of the
young, and verminswill give you no further
trouble.

run over, and you see Tom had tried
the window by this time and found it
down, and he had two minutes and hall
left and a man who misses his duty on a

platform of the last baggage car, with his
keys and checks in a belt about his waist

handkerchief; and in the midst of it, hurt
as he was, much as he lost in that great

gone down on my knees to him to beg

couldn't get angry at a woman.

Tom says, Im always on time, whatever

There's no delay. There's no putting

You sec, you're anxious about your

Will produce less beef than hay and grain.

yond that simply increasing the manure
heap at cost far beyond its value. The
OK has approximately eleven pounds of
stomach with only two and one-half pounds
OF intestines to each one hundred pounds of

and more intestines, giving q smaller percen-
tage of digestive apparatus, while the pig.
Tor every hundred pounds of his live weight,
has only one and third pounds of stomach
to six pounds Of intestines.
A steer would thrive well on a bulk of
straw, with little oil meal, that would
shrink sheep and starve a hog. Pork
can be produced from clear corn meal.
while mutton requires greater variety of
food, and beef cattle would become cloyed
and diseased with its exclusive use. A
thoughtful attention to these broad facts
will change much injudicious feeding into
cheaper meat production.
One element in the economy of cattle
feeding, the use of straw and fodder, has
not received the attention its importance
demands. On no one point is the aver
age farmer so increduous as regarding
the value OF straw for feed, and on many
farms the wasteiul practice still exists of

There is solemn graveyard where mortals
never tread,
Where stand no marble monuments to mark
the namcess dead.
Each sleeper takes his place alone, unseen of
mortal eyes,
And no man knows his resting-place, nor guess
eth where he lies
No sad array Of mourners conveys them to their
rest;
No wealth of earthly blossoms is laid upon
their breast.
But never yet was graveyard so quiet and
serene,
No church yard half so peaceful, no hillside
half so green;
No noise dsturbs the sleepers, no light nor care
less tread,
No thoughtless laugh nor hooking word can
reach these quiet dead.
Deep down where endless silence reigns the
weary pilgrims rest
The wanderers whom old Ocean has gathered to
her breast.

writes to the Practical Farmer: AS have
raised numbers and had good success, I
give my plan of feeding them. If old
cows milk, dilute one pint of milk with
half a pint of water and one teaspoonful of
West India molasses; but if new cows
milk give it just as it comes from the COW,
and feed two tablespoonfulls once an hour
through patent nursing bottle, or COM
mon bottle with rubber nipple. AS the
lamb increases in strength, / give larger
quantities and not so often. l have in this
way raised lambs that at three months
weighed fifty pounds. At two or three
weeks old l have taught them to drink.
