Young chicks, says the American
Poultry Journal, seem to require some
kind OF seasoning in their food especially
ifthey are confined from the time they
leave the egg till they are full grown. A
little red (cayennel pepper, occasionally
mixed with their food. gives healthy
tone to the system, keeps the throat clear
and fosters improvement; but some are
apt to overdo the matter, and even good
things can work harm when carelessly or
injudiciously used. We use this pepper
with all our young birds, whett er chicks,
turkeys, or others, but use it sparingly.
One Of the most natural things to mix
with the food is the onion. Many an
onion top have we chopped up fine and
mixed with the soft food given to the
young birds. They relish it exceedingly
and it does them good. In the absence
of the onion top, the bulb can be chop
ped up fine and fed in the same way,
but being stronger, it must be led more
sparingly. Garlic can be used in the
same way as onions, but it is not always
80 readily obtained.

Cow CHOKING,

A veteran farmer told me few days
ago of method Of relieving choking
COW, which was new to me, but which he
assured me was unfailing. 1t is worthy
of trial, at any rate. A round stick, two
or three inches in diameter, and six or
eight inches long, is put into the cows
mouth, like bit into a horses mouth, a
string is then fastened to each end of the
stick and tied to the horns, or up over
the head. This forces her to keep her
mouth open and allows the gas which
forms in the stomach and is the cause of
the severe pain and rapid swelling which
accompanies choking in COW, to escape
The effort also of trying to free her
mouth of its unusual incumbrance is the
best help toward freeing the passage OF
the throat. IF the trouble is not removed
in this way, the COW may be kept alive
until help is obtained for trying other
measures for her relief. In such cases
time is of great Importance. He assures
me he has seen his plan tried In many
cases, and In none had it failed of COM
plete cure in less than half an hour.

An Accomplished Whale.

London papers relate curious stories
of the blunders made by Oxford under
graduates in the scripture examination
which they have to pass before taking
their degrees. It is told of one that
when asked who was the first king OF
Israel, he was sa fortunate as to stumble
upon the name of Saul. He saw he had
hit the mark, and, wi-hing to show the
examiners how intimate his knowledge
of scripture was, he added confidently.
=" Saul was also called PAUL., Another
was called upon to mention "the two
instances recorded in scripture of the
lower animals speaking The under
graduate thought for a moment, and
replied Balaam's ass" tsThis is ene,
sir; what is the other % Student paused

are invariably changing from fine to long
woods, and before the expiration of two
years we shall undoubtedly see the long
wools bred exclusively. The mutton of
| the latter is of much richer favor, and
the carcass far exceeds in weight that of
the former, the weight of three and
four-yearold being estimated to exceed
the Merino from so to 100 pounds per
head. The average increase from Merino
ewes bred to Merino rams is about 60
per cent; that from long wool ewes bred
to long wool rams, 80 to IS per cent. The
average yield of wool per head tbrough>
out the plains for 1877 was between five
and six pounds. This year it will un-
doubtedIy exceed six pounds, the sheep
being in better condition, and more at
tention having been paid TO improvement
in breed. The average price per pound
netted by the wool-growers for their
fleeces for 1876, exclusively unwashed,
was 30c., which l think compares favor
ably with the price obtained for un-
washed woods throughout the United
States.
A flock of sheep usually numbers from
$500 to 1900. 1t is herded by one man,
generally mounted on a native pony,
accompanied by two shepherd dogs
the latter being of great assistance
in guarding the flock from the
approach of strange dogs and wolves
and in case of violent storms to
bunch the flock and drive it to the
corral. In winter the sheep are usually
herded on different range from what |
they have been accustomed to in sum-
mer, to prevent either range from being |
destroyed by too constant feeding or
travel. They are corralled nightly, and |
in winter have the benefit of covered |
sheds. Hay is put up for them, to be
fed only in case of very severe snow
storms, when it is impossible for them
to procure their own food. A snow
storm is usually followed by violent
wind, which soon clears the plains and
leaves the feed In good condition. For
the last five years little or no hay has
been fed, owing to the openness of the
winters.
The usual hours Of range in winter are
from o'clock in the morning till 6
o'clock in the evening in the summer,
from 5 o'clock in the morning till 8
o'clock in the evening, although in sum-
mer they invariably lie down by the side
of some river or creek from II o'clock in
the morning till 4 o'clock in the after
noon.
Iexpect to shear this spring in the

It is curious fact that the energetic
people of the United States import some

year, while they own one thousand mil

Early Made Cheese.

The American Dairyman says: "Tbe
early made skinned cheeses that have
appeared on the market this spring, are
not meeting with the most cordial greet
ing, while full creams are sought after
and command top figures. Fine old
cheese finds ready sale, often at a
fraction over quotations but that which
is inferior, Or in any way impoverished
by the use of the skinner, drags heavily
and has to make concessions to the buy
ers. These are among the indications
which factory men had better heed.

Exoe,iments. with Potato,


A French agricultural journal, the
Basse- Cour, describes the result of some
| experiments in potato growing recently
conducted by scientific men in Germany.
! The principal conclusions to which these
sages have come seem to be two in num-
her. The first of them is that the vigor
of the potato plant is always in direct
proportion to the weight of the tuber
used for sets, theory which certainly
finds some support in common sense
alone, considering that the young shoots
for some time draw their sole nourish-
ment from the mother potato. The Sec
ond conclusion is that there is great
variety in the productive power. not only
of different tubers, but also of different
eyes in the same potato, 1t is found
that the eyes at the top of the potato
produce much more vigorous offspring
then those in the lower part, and the con-
sequence is that those agriculturists who
cut their potatoes in half before planting
them are not we'll advised in cutting ver-
ticallv, but should always divide them
horizontally, planting the upper half and
using the other as food for cattle. But
tie best plan of all is to plant the tuber
whole, cutting out nevertheless, all the
eyes except those in the top part" Ex-
periments, were conducted in garden
soil by Prof. Gantz, the amount of crop
produced by several different settings of
potatoes being actually estimated in sta"
tistical tables. 1t appeared that from
tubers divided vertically, only FIVE tons
were produced per acre, and from whole
potatoes seven and halfto The third
sort were potatoes horizontally divided,
which is set down as nine and three-quar
ter tons. In this particular, however,
some of the other professors do not agree
with Herr Gantz, but maintain that,
other things being equal, the whole pota'
toes will always produce more than
halves, however cut. On the fourth
result, however, all agree, and that is,
that the whole potatoes from which the
lower eyes have been cut out. produce
eleven and one-half tons per acre, or
more than double the result by the sets
first mentioned.
