The stalks of corn entire, fed in
the roasting-ear state, constitute a
most wholesome and fattening food
One acre Of corn used in this way
will probably equal in value the ears
alone from taoo acres fed in cold
weather. The stalks should be fed
to the hogs in pens, to avoid vast
ing the refuse, which is valuable for
manure.
The process Of feeding varied ao-

PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE
WITH FOWLS.

l have paid attention to breeding
fowls for thirty years, and have also
paid tor my knowledge hence, if
few facts will be of service to any
readers you are welcome to them
and if they don't agree with the books
and pet theories, SO much the worse
for the books and theories. / have
no doubt most people would rather
" find out how things work " them
selves, yet some are willing to begin
where others left off, saving trouble
and expense. To such l would say,
l give you no word of hearsay or
other people experience, but what I
have seen and know. Not being an
adept in this style of addressing the
public, I would prefer giving my facts
by numbers,
No. l. The large breeds, to come
to perfection in size, must be raised
on new ground, as it appears that the
bone producing properties become
exhausted by constant cropping on
the same lot.
No. .. The best layers and most
thrifty chickens can always be obtain
ed by cross between two distinct
breeds, the best by larger with small
er. Of course this is for quick grow
ing chickens for the table and early
laying pullets, but the breeding
should end right here, as the progeny
will soon run to poor mongrels and
fade out.
No. 3 One cock is ample for a
yard of fifty hens, and is far better
than more The eggs will not fail to
produce chickens, while the hens will
keep in better health and plumage.
No. 4. a pure breed can not be
depended on if enc hen Of other blood
runs in the yard, no matter if she
does not lay, or IL the eggs can be

n culled cut. This is posze9nat il,u
/carried mixed b,The' ni"ie i'0"
zone hen to another I'D
No. 5. White featleITs IN colol .'sa
fowls do not alwa,5 indicate impure
blood. as # WY often happen that
growing featlers will be pulled out
or iniura ID at mouIting time, and tnelr
place supplied by white ones, seem
| inc to indicate that the coloring mat
ter has been exhausted to supply the
first growth. This is especially the
case with chickens raised from lows
after long CONTINENT.
No. G. For winter coops, glass on
the south front is a great benefit
during the day; but in extra cold
weather ii should be covered at night,
as the inside air is rapidly cooled by
comiag in contact with glass exposed
to outside atmosphere at or below
zero.
Z No. z If fowls must run short oftood
or water, let it be food. Water they
must have, and it should be kept as
clean as possible.
No. s. Have shelf under the roost
that the droppings may be saved dry;
They can easily be brushed of and
put in q barrel, and sold or taken dl-
rect to the compost heap.
No. 9. Whitewash is always in
order, especially on inside coop.
No. 10. If your coop becomes III
tested with insects, the best way is to
remove the fowls in the daytime
(when the pest will have left the fowls
and taken possession Of the roost) to
some other coop for few days. This
removal will alone do much good;
but to make sure, tumigate with sui
phur, then whitewash, put kerosene
oil on end of roost, and in cracks near
where insect may lodge IN midSum-
mer. The nests should also have q
sprinkling of sulphur.
No. Il. Nests for Summer use are
best made from old barrels saw one
or more slaves out near the middle OF
the side Of a barrel, set the barrel on
the ground head down. By moving
occasionally, it can always be kept
clean. This is a good contriyance for
sitting hens, as the sediment will be
LETT on the ground or floor, keeping
the barrel sweet; but if there is dan
ger Of rats, the whole head must be
put down.
No. 70. Keeping fowls healthy is
what l am best acquainted with; to
care for sick ones is quite another
thing. Not being able to manage
the latter, l keep mine well, being
fully impressed that it is the cheapest
way.-B.,i0 the american Cultir0tor.

THE crop Of artichokes on the De-

The papers contain many letters from
farmers advising the stacking of wheat
in order that it may undergo the
sweating process. It is claimed that
it will improve the grain to the extent
of raising the grade. One writer says;
The Sweating" presses is one not gen.
orally understood. Taking either wheat
or oats, or even hay, and stacking or
moving them in a short time, they
will be found to be undergoing what IS
commonly known as the ''sweat" On
opening the stack the straw will be
found damp as we'll as the grain, ac-
compainied by considerable heat, which
lasts for number Of days. At such
times it is difficult to separate the Der
ry::from the head, and it is seldom
threshed by any good farmer till this
period is past.
The result of this sweat is, that the
dead color berry is restored, while the
kernel itself is filled out and is consid
cradle plumper than when it went into
the stack. But this is not all. During
this period there has been constant
absorption by the berry Of the nutrltive
elements in the stalk, rendered active
by the fermentation and this develops
and ripens the kernel Some question
wheather there is eny more gluten ad-
ded, but 1t is our opinion that there is,
and that it is richer in albuminoids,
and will make consequently higher
quality Of -four than if not stacked at
jail. But the suggestion we desired to
urge was that stacking would brighten
the grain, which is this year mostly Of
a dead color, and add few dollars
more to the revenue Of the farm, which
all will frankly acknowledge is always
small enough.
