vegetable Food for PonItrr.

A great mistake that is made by almost all
fowl breeders we meet with is, their neglect
in winter and early spring time to allow their
breeding fowls sufficient vegetable food in adj
dition to their during months when
there is nothing of this sort to be had upon
the open earth, even if the birds have unm-
tied range.
1t is absolutely necessity for this kind of
stock that they should have some kind of veg
etable food in winter such as raw cabbages,
chopped turnips, bruised onions, crushed car
rots &c, as a substitute for the grass and
heritage they get when abroad in the spring
and summer months about the fields and pas.
lures.
One of the best things for winter use is
rowen or short dried grass, and we call atton-
ton to this fact now so that u supply may be
gathered before it is too late. Rowen may be
fed in its dried state or soaked in water, or
run through hay cutter and sprnkled with
meal and bran, and in either case it is excel
lent being particularly useful in furnishing
that bulk to the diet which is so necessary to
the healthy state of the digestive organs II

ter-crop" of grass. or the rakings of their
lawns, and feed the same as above directed
next winter and in early spring, before the
new grass starts, we will guarantee that there
will be found less occasion for such COM
plants as have latterly been current about
the non-hatching of eggs
We have known that fowls deprived of
plenty of green food in winter, which have
been given everything else, plentifully, have
failed IN the succeeding spring to be produc-
tive in eggs that would hatch we'll And we
call attention to this important fact now, be-

Passing through Quincy market, we find
that the highest priced fancy lots of gilt
edge butter, such as wholesale at 60 to 20
cents per pound, and retail to aristocratc ma
hobs at 10 to IS cents, are put up in neat lit
tie Jumps, either round or square, of weight
varying from one-quarter to full pound, and
stamped with some pretty design, or with the
producers monogram. But, kind reader, out
of the thousands of packages of butter re-
ceived in this city weekly, probably not over
1000 pounds wholesale at upwards of 80 cents
per pound nor over $50 pounds per week
sell at 20 cents per pound. Probably if these
fortunate butter makers were to double their
limited productions they would break the
market and reduce the fancy price by at least
one-half. Human nature is prone to copy
after success, dairymen not excepted. Be-
cause few dairymen, who marketed their
butter fresh, almost the same day they made
it, formed it into attractive Jumps or prints,
others took the hint, and presumipg that the
style of the package had much to do with the
market price, also adopted lump butter. The
contGgion spread, and from far and wide con.
signments of lump butter appeared, until to.
day Boston market is completely overstocked
with lump butter.
Except for those who have orders in ad.
vance for lump butter, or who have facilities
for sending their dairy products to market al
least once a week, we would earnestly advise
the packing in tubs, holding from % and &c
to 80 pounds, instead of making it into Jumps
Fine butter, packed in well-cleaned and mod
crate sized tubs, will now command higher
price than similar butter put up in Jumps
The market for lump butter is very limited
since it will not keep as well as tub butter
Small lots of choice butter in Jumps hav,
proved sufficiently attractive to some buyer
to induce their purchase. Some lots of Yer
mont lump butter have brought 33 cents pc
pound, though to-day this same butter in tub
would sell as high, but most of the fine lumI
butter has been selling at % to % cents, anC
it must be very nice to command even that

the same butter had been packed properly il
tubs it would have been to-day as sweet as

limited nature to induce distant producers

A NEW BREED OF HENS. The st. Johns
bury Caledonian is responsible for this ''agri-
cultural" story, which it locates in the town
of Burke;
Jim Stafford has an eye for good poultry
and took few hens down to the Grange fair.
Among them was hen and two chickens of
a BLUSH color, which he had bought of some
farmer in town A granger happened along
who fancied this fine breed of hens and in
quired the price. Jim thought he would
make folks think that he had got something
nice and replied promptly: Twelve dollars, i"
"I'll give eight" said the granger. Jim
thought if his poultry was worth eight dol
lars to anybody, that 1t would be worth twelve
just as quick, and stuck for his price. After
bantering a little the granger took them.
jim was nonplussed when the stranger in
quired the name of this falcy breed of hens,
but he was equal to the occasion and replied
promptly "Blue Queens" And where are
they from ?" At this, Jim suddenly became
interested in studying the sky, the weather or
anything else he could find, and after turn

Dairymen and farmers should be well in
formed as'to the best kind of COW for their
special use, yet what variety of opinion ex-
lists in regard to which kind is the best For
family use. where one COW is kept to supply
milk, cream and butter, it is great object TO
get an animal that is easily kept, that is gen.
tie good mixer, and yields much cream
and butter. OF all the varieties of COWS, the
cross between the pure Ayrshire and the Jer-
sey is the one to be desired for the use of the
family or for the butter dairy. A COW that
can be fed on the moving of half-acre lawn,
with quart or two of meal daily that can
be made pet of, and that will give a pound
of golden butter every "a hours with cream
for the table, and milk for all purposes and to
spare is without any doubt, the best possible
and the cheapest COW for family, and for the
butter dairy as well. Recently visiteda herd
of nearly a hundred such COWS, bred especial
ly for family cows. The herd is owned by
Mr.. Thomas Fitch of New London, Conn, an
old resident of that town, who has been breed
ing Jerseys and their crosses for more than 30
years. A visit to his herd would repay the
cost and time to any dairyman or would-be
owner of good single COW. The whole herd,
young and old together average over one
pound of butter per day, and many yield 10
pounds or over in a week, of the kind known,
from its high color and quality, as gilt
edge. AS specimen OF hklliul, successful
breeding for distinct purpose, this herd is
unsurpassed, and it is proof of what may be
accomplished 10y persistent and perseyoring
effort in given direction. Mr.. Fiteh's herd
is descended from the old Tantor importa-
tions of Jerseys, and has some of the best
blood brought from the island of Jersey and
which has been greatly improved by careful
selection and breeding. BY crossing Jersey
bulls on prime Ayrshire cows that are deep
mixers, cows are obtained that give large
Yields of very rich milk, thus combining the
distinct excellences of each of these breeds.
After many years of experiment this old

Of all, and the character of his herd of cross

Preparing Poultry for Market.
PEW PRACTICAL HINTS PROM A DEALER OF
LONG EXPERIENCE.


PEW PRACTICAL HINTS PROM DEALER OF
LONG EXPERIENCE.
Having had nearly twenty-five years expe-
ricnce in handling poultry for the principal
markets of New England, l wish to say a
word, which think of importance to those
who raise and dress poultry for market.
Fattening In fattening poultry give the
fowls all they will cat. Corn is prefered-as
poultry fattened on it is more yellow, and
better than when fed on any other grain.
And, remember, you will not only get pay
for every pound your poultry gains in fatten-
ing, but by improving the quality you gain
from one-fourth to one-half in price ON the
whole; therefore never kill hnlf-fattened or
half-matured birds.
RHAng and DressiRg Food in the crop
Injuries the appearance, is liable to sour, and
purchasers object to paying for this worse
than useless weight. Therefore keep from
food twenty -four hours before killing. All
poultry should be killed by bleeding in the
neck, and should be picked while the body is
warm. In no case should the poultry be
scalded; wet picked poultry is not wanted in
any of the best New England markets, and
will not sell for half price As soon as the
poultry is picked take off the head at the
throat, peel back the skin a little, and remove
portion of the neck bone; then draw the
skin over the end and tie and trim neatly
Draw the intestines, making the incison as
small as possible.
Packing. Poultry should be entirely cold
but not frozen, before packing. If packed
with the animal heat in it will be almost sure
to spoil. Therefore, if you pack for the mar
ket yourself, or sell to those who intend to
pack at once TO send to market, be sure that
the animal heat is out of the birds before you
offer them for sale. o. L. MINER

The Maine Farmer strongly urges the far
mers of that State to get in the regular prac-
tice of preparing their land for crops in the
fall-not simply the ploughing of the stubble
and the turning over of green sward, but the
narrowing and even manuring out of fields to
be planted and sown the coming spring 1t
says The fall months are more favorable
for doing this work than the spring months,
the team is generally in better condition and
the weather is more conducive to work in
the matter of carting manure to fields, the
ground is harder, and teams can pass over it
without injuring them as it does when they
are soft in the spring; where cattle are sta
bled during the summer months, as is now SO
frequently the case-especially with those
who have barn cellars-there is ample ma
nure made to dress the land intended for corn
or wheat, and it may be moved to the fields
to be planted or sown in the spring and ap-
piled to them in the fall, thus having them
ready for putting in the seed with the ap-
proach of the first favorable opportunity in
spring; and chief among the reasons for the
fall preparation and manuring of land for
spring crops, is that it IengtheRs tile sedSOn--a
measure of itself of sufficient Importance to
bring the plan into common favor.
