HOW TO KEEP THE COMBS OF FOWLS
FROM FREEZING.

During the piercing cold of winter the
combs and wattles of many poor birds suf-
Ter dsastrously from the sharp attacks of
Jack Frost The combless state of many
beautiful bird, ruined for the show pen, if
not for the poultry yard. bears cruel evidence
to the wanton carelessncss of their owners.
A warm, though not necessarily an ex-
pensive fowl-house is indispensable to every
farmer and fancier who wants his fowls to
lay and pay during the winter. Those who
keep single combed varieties, and have not
warm house for them, can easily prevent
their cocks combs from freezing by simply
having a roosting place, built like a smaller
house inside their poultry house. By this
means, during weather exceptionally severe,
the birds can be shut up, temporarily, in
a snugly confined area, and couple of
panes Of glass will allow them to see easily
while eating, so long as the danger lasts.
This inside house need not take up any of
the room ordinarily used by the fowls, but
can be constructed on posts so as to occupy
no floor room. A neighbor has tried this
and it works admirably. His has two cham
bers. The upper for roosting purposes,
with low perches and sliding bottom to
facilitate the escape of droppings, is furnish
ell with doors that open all along the front.
The lower chamber has an alley along the
back, and nests at the front with sliding
doors to each SO that the eggs can be readily
collected. A hole in each end of the top
bottom compartments allows the birds to
pass freely in and out. The partitions be-
tween the nests are loose, SO that any re-
quired nests may be shut off from the others
Properly white-washed, this can be kept
quite sweet, and would save many a fine
bird at a very trifing cost of time, trouble
or money.-RMul Neau Yorker.

land-plaster; and the fourth, the raising of
lncerne. More than any men of their time
did they add to the wealth Of the country.
After them came another race of fancy
farmers, who introduced Arabian horses.
Spanish sheep, and the improved breeds of
English cattle and swine. These fancy farm
ers added immensely to the wealth of the
practical farmers OF the country.
What we want, to develop the agriculture
and horticulture OF the country to their full
est extent, is large number of fancy farm
ers-inen who work for pleasure, rather
than for private gain. These are the men
who will perform experiments, and give the
world the benefit of them. These are the
men who will carry on Investigations for the
sake of investigating. These are the men
who will bring in new grains, new fruits,
new vegetables, and new varieties of ami
mails. These are the men who will devote
their time and money to the improvement Of
old varieties and the creation of new ones.
The country is sadly in need of more fancy
farmers s.-Faamers' Advocate.
