\ SECRETS OF Success WITH PoUL-
TRY.--I am now keeping 800 hens and
500 chickens with satisfactory results,
The fowls are kept in separate houses,
each Of which holds SO. There is a
good range in which the fowls mix to-
gether, but all return to their own
roosts at night. The houses are sheds
20 by IA, eight feet high in front, and
.sloping to the ground at the back,
having open lattice work at each end
for ventilation. The roosts are NOV
able six feet long, two inches wide,
and one inch thick, and are frequently
taken down, cleansed, and soaked
with kerosene. The sheds are kept
thoroughly soaked with lime-wash, !,
with some carbolic acid in it OCCASION
ally. The sitting nests are treated
similarly. The feed consists ofshorts
and bran, wheat and oats, boiled beef
heads, chopped eabbages and corn
stalks, and boiled potatoes alternate
ly. Running water passes the sheds
and coops. Eight hundred hens con-
sumo 10 pounds Of wheat and 20
pounds Of oats daily; 26 dozen of
eggs have been gathered in one day.
The secret OF success is cleanliness a
variety of good food, and pure water,
With these requisites there need be no
failure. u

SHEPHERD DOGS.

Very many farmers fail to appreci-
ate the value as well as the pleasure
OF good dog around their premises.
If shepherd dogs were better known
there would be fewer useless ours,
whose sole aim seems to be to prowl
around on their own account and take
whatever lays in their way, not ex-
cepting sheep, Of which many suffer.
In many places heavy taxes are laid
on all dogs, the sum raised hS this
means going to pay the sheep raisers
for the loss they sustain by the depre-
dations Of the hundred worthless ours
which roam around without having any
acknowledged nome. inns We tlluil
is unfair to those who have good dogs,
which stay at home and attend to their
masters business, for they have to
help make good the loss occasioned by
the misdceds Of the evil disposed ones.
We think that if cold lead was the
penalty imposed on all sheep stealing
dogs, the country would soon be- rid
OF much useless dog-stock, and this
would foster the breeding and dissem-
nation Of valuable dogs t,... j
To show that shepherd dogs are
soon appreciated, it is merely necessa-
ry to state that when they are once
introduced into q neighborhood, the
neighboring farmers r soon find out
where they can be had, and get some
for their own use. And this liking fol
this breed Of dogs is sreadily accounted
for, for they are not only attractive in
appearance as well as most excellent
watch dogs, but are so. readily taught
when properly and kindly handled, tc
do SO many useful things about the
farm that their owners soon appreciate
their usefulness, and are 10th to part
with them after having had them once

HOW TO INCREASE THE FLOW OF
l.. ~ MILK.

A lady correspondent of a Southern
paper, writing from Arkansas, gives
the following recipe to increase the
flow of milk in a COW. She saws ::
"Tepid'water, slightly salted, given
twice a day, will increase the flow of
milk one-thirdi if the COW will not
drink it at first trial scatter handful
of meal over the top oft. TheyIsoon
become very fond Of it, and will drink
all you give them. tried the plen
three years ago with perfect success.
! had only one COW, ard she was of
the common Scrub stock Of the coun-
Try. cad after she began to drink the
%ater, prepared as above, she furnish
ed me twice a day two ordinary buck
cts full ofmiIk, and by feeding little
corn boiled with Gotten seed the milk
yielded butter enough to supply my
table bountifully and leave me a few
pounds to sell every week. | gave
her ten gallons Of water twice day"
This is a novel method of watering
milk. The only difference between
this method and the one ordinarily
practised is that the water is put into
the milk through the COW rather than
by more direct route. Coaxing a
COW to drink large quantity of warm
water, by putting Il bait of salt OF
meal into it, may increase the quantity
of milk, but it can only do this at the
expense Of the quality. This latter
point, however, would be of no conse-
quence provided one is in the milk bus
mess and does not make butter and
cheese. The fair writer doubtless had
her eye on milkmen in preparing this
sEatemeI1t. ~ --L - L.L---

THE BIBLE IN 1888 AND 1870.

THE BIBLE IN 1888 AND 1870.
The first English Bible that
ever was printed arrived in
England III 1885. 1t was Cow
erdale's translation. Two years
afterward another Bible was
published. This was the BIZ
bic usually called Matthew's,
and a very. good translation it
was. When it came out Arch
bishop Cranmer wrote to ask
the chief minister Of King
Henry VIII. to show the book
to His Majesty, and to get a
license that it might be sold
and read by every person with
outany hindrance being thrown
in the way. "If," he said, "you
continue to take such pains
for the setting forth of Gods
word as you do, although in
the mean time you suffer some
snubs, and many ISLANDERS, lies,
and reproaches for the same,
yet one day He will recon-
pense you. And the same
word, as St, John saith, which
shall judge every man at the
last day, must. needs show IA
YOUR to them that now do IA
your it,"
King Henry gave the per-
mission which was asked for,
and the archbishop wrote to
thank the minister for bring
ing the matter forward, saying,
"You have showed me more
pleasure herein than if you had
given me a thousand pounds"
During the next year (I538)
an order was given to every
clergyman to provide a large
English Bible, and to set it up
in a convenient place in the
church, where the parishioners
might come and read it. Hall
the cost was to be paid by the
clergyman and half by the
parishioners. The king also
ordered the clergyman to "dis-
courage no man, either secret
ly or openly, from the reading
or the hearing of the said BIZ
ble," but to ''provoke, stir, and
exhort everyperson to oreadthe
same, as that which is the very
lively Word of God, which ev-
Christian is bound to embrace,
believe, and follow, they look
to be saved" At the same
time, readers were warned to
avoid disputing over the mean
ing of the book; not to be
hasty or rash in explaining it;
and to consult learned men
where the word seemed hard
to be understood.
Such was the estate of things
three hundred and thirty years
ago. Fancy only one Bible in
each parish, and that one SO
expensive that the clergyman
had to share the cost of it with
the parishioners ! Now there
are but few houses in England
in which there is no Bible to
be found; it can be reao no'
only in the church, but IN the
school and in the home; and
it can be bought for SO small a
sum that the poorest child may
soon save up enough to pur-
chase one. Happy is that
home in which young and old
read the word Of God every
day; and happy are those who
not only read, but also, by the
grace of God, understand what
they read, and make The Bible
a lamp unto their feet and 8
light unto their path.--Glean.

LEARN FROM EXPERIENcE.--There is
no higher function or duty. that an
agricultural paper can render its read
ers than to prompt them to experiment
for themselves on their own farms, gar
dens and orchards. There is no so
good way to learn how to do anything
as to do it. If a young man would
learn how to play the pianoforte, it
would not be by devoting himself to
the study ofmanual, books and periodi-
calls on music, treating Of the methods
Of instruction, but by patting his fin
gers upon the keys of the instrument
and practising on a FARM So if he
would learn how to farm, it must be
by working on a farm, If he would
learn how to raise corn it must be by

alone can no more make good farmers
than good musicians. With practice,

THE WORLD GROWING BETTER.

1t is pleasant to believe that
the world is gradually growing
whittier. 1t is a joy to feel that,
as the years pass, the mission
of Jesus fulfils itself and the
world is becoming purer.There
is a basis of fact for this belief,
an abundant cause for such Joy.
Two thousand years ago the
world was foul, both in its ideas,
its practices and its expression.
Even the literature of our own
language, three centuries ago,
was to impure for the present.
time to read. In our age on ev-
ry hand we behold proGff thai
the cleansing wGrk Of Christi
anlty has tTi.iumphed. The
world is progressing. 1t moves
on and 1t moves up. The hearts
of men are becoming chaste,
the affections ofmenpure. God
is coming nearer and nearer to
the race, not in outward and
visible splendor of actuarl ap-
pearance, but in the interior
Improvement and deyelope-
ment of human nature. Again
is his likeness being born on
earth. Not now, as at Bethle-
hem, by the birth of the flesh,
but by the birth of of the spirit.
He is not taking to himself the
nature of angels, but the nature
of man, and man beholdS him
inhis own nature. And through
the increasing purity of his af-
fections he sees God. BY and
by he will see him more clear
ly. By and by they will real
ize the truth Of the saying of
Jesus, when he exclaimed to
his disciples, "The kingdom of
heaven is within you" Then
will they indeed be near God.
Then shall they see him, as it
were, face to face.-Mu,ray.

tor, Il want to resign my posi-

he wanted more, and he called
his teachers together and made
