AN IMPROVEMENT IN BREAD NAMING.
Persons who are so unfortunate as TO
be poorly provided with those agents of
mastication, good teeth, will be glad to
know that there is a method of baking
bread which obviates the necessity of a
hard crust. The crust commonly at
tached to the loaf is not only trouble
some TO such persons, but is often the
cause of much waste. The way TO be
rid of il is as follows: When the loaves
are nodded, and before they are set
down to ''rise," take a small quantity
of clean lard, warm it, and rub lightly
over the loaves. The result will be a
crust beautifully soft and tender
throughout.

PLANTS packed away in cellars that
are quite dark, or nearly so, will re-
quire very little water; once a week
will be sufficient, and be very careful
to give but little. The gas found in the
cellars of some houses will be found to
injure these plants, and should be
guarded against. Our experience with
plants in a sleeping room is such as to
lead US to say that they will not be OF
the least discomfort, or in any way in

FENCES. - Good fences make good
gender strife and lifelong estrange-
ment. A poor fence is a nuisance even
10 the owner-perhaps he is more an
nOyed and perplexed thereby than any,
body else. Poor fences are a drain
upon farm resources. They must GER
tainly entail loss upon the owner and
oftentimes utter ruin. A watchful eye
should be kept upon weak places, and
needful repairs should be made prompt
ly when required. There is no econo-
my, however, in continually patching
up an old fence. The loss sustained in
single night will often pay for a new

MILK COMES THROUGH NH

MILK COMES THROUGH INHERITANCE.
"A COW eats food and milk is made,
says Dr. Sturteyant, in quantities ac-
coriing as the ancestry of the cow have
been good or poor mixers. The ''natu-
ral' or wild cow gives hardly enough
milk for her calf, and not enough to
satisfy domestic calf. Feed the wild
COW high and her milk yield is slight.
Large quantity of milk comes largely
through inheritance. 1t is the same
with quality. The milk OF different
breeds has a different character. When
a COW of any breed has enough food
considered in the elements of which the
food is made up-if there is nothing
lacking in the food that is needful TO
her growth aad health, then | think it
is agreed by the best authority that
Increase of food will not change the
quality of milk. while it will increase
the quantity.

CROSSING PoULrRY.-lt is not every
farmer who can keep flock OF pure
bred fowls, for the reason they do not
have the time or the interest in poultry
as we breeders do. To keep a well bred
stock of poultry you have TO change
your stock often, and TO keep them up
near TO the standard, il is something of
"A duty to do. | have had little eXpe-
risnce within the last five years in
breeding and crossing poultry of differ
ent breeds, and | find 1t will very much
improve the stock for laying and brood
ing. The Brahmas aud Cochins are well
scattered through thecountry at present.
Almost every farmer has got more or
less of the Brahma or Cochin blood in
their stock of poultry, and a great many
say that they like the Brahma or Co.
chin but they sit everlastingly; can not
break them up," etc. | will tell you
how improve them. / have taken the
partridge Cochin hen and brown Leg
horn cock and crossed them. 1t cuts
them down in size some, but they are a
good. fair sized fowl, and lay more eggs
and do not care so much for setting.
They are nearly the same color as in
the pure state. Another cross is the
Cochin and Houdan cock. That makes
a good cross; large fowl which lays a
large egg and does not set much and are
not bad TO break off from setting. The
light Brahma and the white Leghorn
would make good cross and keep your
fowls near their own color.
