| INCREASING THE GROWTH OF Wool.
The use of chloride of potassium is
recommended in Germany as means Of
increasing the growth of wool on sheep.
Some German chemists have made ex'
periments with the article, proving thai
the growth of wool is promoted by its
use. 1t is administered in the proper
ton of one part of chloride to nine parts
of salt. 1t not only increases the pro
duction of wool, but improves the quail
ity, and promotes the general health o.
the animal, we are told; but the proper
quantities to administer are not stated
A LITTLE ADVICE ABOUT EGGs.-L
you keep but few hens you will fine
that the scraps from the table will make
the best morning meal that you cal
give; the bits of meat, potatoes, crumbs
of bread and all the odds and ends from
the table are Just what laying hem
need. and it will pay better to turn thu
scraps into eggs than it will to feet
them to the hogs. Eggs are wortl
something now, and twenty hens, i
properly cared for, will shell out, at 1
moderate estimate, q dozen eggs every
day. The "scraps." half peck o
oats or barley, and peck of shellet
corn will be sufficient food for thes'
twenty fowls q week; do your own fig
uring.
CURE FOR SCALY LEGS IN Fowl
A sure cure of scaly legs in fowl is af
fected thus: Insert feather in th'
spout of coal oil can so that too larg'
a stream will not run out; get some on
to hold the fowl by the wings; take holt
of a toe of one foot at time, and pou
fine stream from the hock-joint to tn
end of each toe, taking care that al
parts of the foot are wet with it. ON
application year is enough, if done q
all, and at the time when they need II
say during January or February. Th'
; scaly appearance is caused by an insec
which the oil most effectually kills, ant
leaves the legs clear and bright look
ing. This will answer even when tn
legs are twice their natural size, whicl
| is frequently the case when neglected
