HOW TO FATTEN CHICKENS.

1t is hopeless to attempt to fatten
chickens while they are al liberty. They
must be put in proper coop; and this
like most poultry appurtenances, need
not be expensive. To fatten ten or
twelve fowls, coop must be three feet
long, eighteen inches deep made entire
ly of bars, no part of it solid-neither
top, side, nor bottom. Discretion must
be used, according to the sizes of the
chickens put up. They do not want
room. Indeed, the closer they are the
better, provided they can all stand up at
the same time. Care must be taken to
put up such as have been accustomed
to be together, or they will fight If
one is quarlsome, it is better to re
move it at once, as, like other bad exam
pies, it soon finds imitators. A diseased
chicken should not be put up.
The food should be ground oats, and
may either be put in trough or ON a
fiat board running along in front of the
coop. 1t may be mixed with water or
milk. The later is better 1t should be
well slaked, forming pulp as loose as
can be, provided it does not run off the
beard. They mnst be well fed three or
four times day, the first time as soon
after day break as possible or convenient,
and then at intervals of four hours.
Each meal should be as much and no
more than they can eat up clean. When
they have done the feeding, the board
should be wiped and some gravel may be
spread.
Itcauses them to feed and thrive, After
a fortnight of this treatment you will
have good fat fowls. If, however, there
are but four to six TO be fattened, they
must not have so much room as though
there were twelve. Nothing is easier
than to allot them the proper space.
II is only necessary to have two or three
pieces of wood to pass between the bars
and form a partition. This may also
serve when fowls are put up at different
degrees of fatness. This requires atten-
ton, or fowls will not keep fat and
healthy. As soon as the fowl is suffi-
cienly fattened, il must be killed, other
wise it will still get fat, but it will lose
flesh. If fowls are intended for the mar
ket, Of course, they are or may be all fat
tened at once; but if for home consump-
ton, it is better to put them up at such
intervals as will suit the time when they
are required for the table. When the
time arrives for killing, whether they
are meant for the market or otherwise,
they should be tasted without food or
water for twelve or fourteen hours. This
enables them to keep some time after
being killed, even in hot weather.

TREATMENT OFWOOL.

A superintendent of a Western facto
ry gives the following hints as to tht
treatment of wool:
1. Ifpossible, don't let the fleece ge
filled with chaff, by feeding you
sheep at straw-stacks. If you canno
feed them through racks, it is better t
scatter the straw or hay about the yard
next to the fence. 1t is decided injury
to the fleece if the sheep feed at the
straw-stack.
2. Don't defer sheariEg too long, al
the fieeces are apt to become cotted wool
which is only worth half price.
5. Wash wool well, or not at all, a:
poorly washed or dingy wool will com
mand in market scarcely more than
straight unwashed. In many parts Of
Minnesota, the facilities are evidently
not sufficient for heece-washing, and in
such places it is better not to attempt it
f. Whether washed or unwashed
heeces should be properly tagged, and
each fleece should be tied up by itself in
not too hard or solid a bunch. For ty-
ing up wool, use only what is known as
wool twine. Never use jute twine, as il
gets into the wool, and can be got out
only with difficulty. Many manufac-
turers will reject wool when tied up with
such twine.
5. In taking wool to the market
don't put it in wagon-box with clay,
straw or chaffin the bottom, and cover
it over with hay, expecting when you
reach market, to get a good price, as
many do. If you expect to get full
price, treat your wool as though yeu Con-
sidered it worth something yourself. 1t
matters no. what is to be sold, whether
French silk or raw wool; the more neat
ly it is put up, or gotten up, for market,
the quicker it will sell and the higher
price it will command.

THAT COLORADO BEETLE.

Vat is that schwirring through the air,
Vat gapes and stares the people:
Vat run they here. vat run they there,
Vat clang the bells in tow'r und steepl'
Vat clamor young, vat clamor cid,
Vat clamor big und leetle:
Alasi they clamor all, "Behold!
That Colorado Beetle"
For endless streams of burghers, armed
Nit pick und spade und hoe,
Had ramparts raised in circle charmed
Around the dreaded foe;
Had waged ruthless war amain
With naphtha, benzolIne,
But flames und smoke were all in vain
They'd got no Paris Green,
IND high above the battles fray,
Der ditch and rampant dug,
They saw it wing its airy way
That Colorado Bug!
And now thousand dollars be
In hard cash the reward,
For proof ant be He or SHE,

HANDLING HOPS.

Now that the season for hop picking
| in close at hand, a few condensed hints
on that and succeeding operations
may not be unweleome to some of our
readers.
Both the quality and value of hops
are impaired if leaves mingled with
them. Pick each hop singly and sep
crate the clusters. Set apart or reject
eli disoolored, poor and rust smitten
hops, and wherever this is impossible,
thoroughly mix the whole pile before
baling, to secure uniform quality. Ne
yer pack green and brown hops togeth
er unless you want to injure the value
of your goods. Be very careful in dry
ing your hops. Those too much dried
or scorched lose their rich flavor and
aroma, while those not sufficiently dri
ed will heat when baled, and become
worthless. Bale on a rainy day. as the
hops are then most pliable and pack
better. Let each bale be neat and trim
for in hops as in butter. bad packages
lower the price of the best of goods.
Well-pressed bales sample better, while
in those compressed so tightly as to ex
ciude air the hops are quite likely to
heat, especially if slack dried. Mark
your name in full plainly on the narrow
side, near the top of each bale, with a
stencil plate and turpentine mixed with
lamp-black, and be sure to put the date
of growth on every bale. Just before
shipping, especially to a great distance
make certain that the goods are in a
proper condition to bear transporta-
ton by examining the center of each
bale with 'trier" In prudence, as
well as from honesty. resist the temp
tation to mix old hops with those of
this years growth; buyers are neither
rash nor inexperienced,a and such an at
tempt at deception is pretty sure to re-
coil on the offenders.
