Hints From the Poultry World.

FOWLS drink water freely, but they
don't know just how much they need
and when they have access to the fluid
clean, sweet apd fresh, they imbibe no
more than is good for them. 1t is,
therefore, unnecessary to mix your
dough too thin and sloppy at the morn
ing feeding. Have tho meal we'll
scaldcd, and feed the mixture to the
stock stiff and dry, comparatively. This
feed should generally be composed of
both corn and rye meal, with vegetables
say one-third each In our practice we
have found this preferable, both for the
birds and, as an economical provision,
for the old or the growing stock. A
little pepper occasionally in this dough,
and always salt, will improve the mess.
OLD breeders declare that chickens
from the eggs laid earliest in the season
are the most likely to live and thrive,
after Matching. 1t is claimed that con-
tinuous laying enfeebles the hens sys-
TENS to such an extent that the later
eggs in the spring filters are not we'll en-
dowed with vigor The constant atten-
tons of the cock to his flock of hens will
also impair his usefulness as a stock
getter. We have tried the alternating
process to good advantage; !. e., allow
ing one rock as a companion to the hens
for three days and Il second Grower for
the following three days-tirst one and
then the other male, of the same strain,
of course, and brothers preferred which
are equal to each other in general quail
tiles. This plan necesstates the keep
i'm. Of ,,,N fNr t,,f la
yards where dozen or. fifteen hens are
being bred. But it will pay, where only
first-class chicks are looked for, in the
progeny.
EGGS OR TABLE FowLsl - (which
yields the better or greater protiti' in
quires an experimenter. Perhaps the
former-if we cultivate the right breeds
for egg production. A good way to cal
culate this problem is to select the sort
of fowls that will, in proportion to size,
yield you the largest average number of
eggs in given time. Two dozen eggs,
at the best market rate of fresh ones,
will bring about the price of common
fowls dressed carcass. If you cultivate
only the ordinary barn yard fowls, or the
lesser sized birds, like the Leghorns, for
example, you may get so goodly pro-
duct of eggs lin number) in season, as
to make these pay you better than will
the fowl itself, merely as dressed poultry.
The Leghorns will lay good many eggs
in. year, with a fair chance and good
keeping. 1t costs, to support these
small fowls, less than it does to feed the
Asiatics, while the eggs are being
h.
an egg" We should, therefore, say
that, ordinarily, the production of eggs
from moderate sized flocks, that may be
disposed of at a handy market Cor to
families in your neghborhood who are
willing to pay the highest price for
fresh ones for their own tables, will give
greater profit than will dead poultry
alone.

SHADING THE CURRANT.-In our small
garden of about an acre we have two
rows of the common Red Dutch Currant,
and while one row contains nothing but
the currants, the other was planted some
two years ago with the Red Antwerp
Raspberry, for want of space elsewhere,
and the soil being of porous nature, a
rich sandy loan, by frequent application
of manure for vegetables, the raspberries
made very strong growth, besides pro
ducing the present season bountiful
crop of fruit. AS desired to get all the
plants l could for planting another year
the suckers were allowed to grow, so that
the currant bushes were pretty well COW
cred up by them. Now the result was
more than double the amount of currants
in the shade of raspberries than on the
other row. The situation is a gentle
southern slope, but a northern one is
much better The sun is little too hot
for the currant here, and the fruit is
mostly found in the shaded part of the
BUSH therefore, as protection, would
Suggest planting the raspberry, and you
will not only have more currants but some
raspberries, too.-J. Hunter, Jr., Fair

AN ECCENTRIC WELL.-Well3 in the
oil regions have flowed salt water, fresh
water, ges and oil. We now have infor-
nation that we'll in Butler county has
been flowing balls of fire. To add to the
interest of the phenomenon, each of these
balls of fire exploded with loud report.
The well is situated on the McCandless
farm, in Butler county, Pa, considerable
distance beyond developments. 1t was
finished some time ago, and was drilled
as test we'll for that locality. About
the time it was completed an immense
vein of water was struck, which flowed
one hundred feet into the air. The well
has been flowing some months, and is yet
throwing the water about fifty feet into
the air. Recently the family living in
the vicinity of the we'll were startled by
loud, rumbling sound, not much unlike
thunder. They found, on going out of
doors, the noise proceeded from the well.
Balls of fire rose above the column OF
water and exploded with considerable
violence. The phenomenon continued
for some time. Then the rumbliDg noise
and the balls of fire ceased.

MANAGING A BALKY HoRsE.-A write

MANAGING A BALKY HoRsE.-A writer
in Home and Farm says that balky
horse is insane on the subject of going,
and should be made to think on some
other topic,-then he will go. The fol-
lowing devices have been successfully
tried to accomplish the desired end: /.
Tying string around the horses ear
close to the head. 2. Hitching the horse
to the swingletree by means of cord in
stead of the tugs, the chord fastened to
the hcrse's tail. 3. Filling the mouth
full OF some disagreeable substance. 4.
Tying a stout Irvine around the leg just
below the knee, and then remove it when
he has travelled some distance. Never
whip a balky horse, for the more he is
whipped the crszier he will become. Let
everything be done gently, for boisterous
words only confuse him and make him
worse. Treat him in the mild manner
that you would crazy man, and you
will succeed.

II is the interest account that kills.
One hundred dollars borrowed at six per
cent, with the interest compounded an
nually, will amount to $l,S42 in fifty
years. The same amount, borrowed at
eight per cent, will amount to $4,000 in
fifty years. One thousand dollars, at ten
per cent, compounded, will sum up
tl17 800 in fifty years.
