Poultry is a source of profit or loss, Just as
it is well or i'll cared for. In this respect the
business of poultry raising does not differ
from other kinds of business. More depends
upon the manager than on the breeds of
fowls selected. There is a difference in
breeds, some being more profitable than 9TH
ers for eggs and market purposes; but all
breeds have their good and bad qualities, and
all are susceptible of profitable management.
No breed, however, need be expected to yield
profit or satisfaction if not properly cared
for.
There are two great mistakes made by am
ateur poultry raisers, and by some profession
ais. Now and then one may be guilty of
both mistakes, but the great majority, wheth-
er they have many or few fowls, are guilty
of one orthe other. Poultry, especially hens,
are either too closely confined to be healthy
and prolific, or are given too free a range,
expanding their energies in rambling and
making nuisances of themselves. In the lat
ter case they may be healthy, but will not do
AZ well as if kept within reasonable bounds
and made to acquire more domestic habits
The more they ramble they wilder they get
and begin to more and more approximate
wild fowls.
Most farmers give too free a range TO their
poultry especially in the summer. They
may have a miserable place TO roost in, sum
mer and winter, and from this fact suffer
during the nighttime unless they get disgust
ed and show better sense than their owners
by taking to the apple trees or other outside
places. But in the daytime they roam fan
cy free, often making serious depredations in
the garden, hiding their nests under the
fences and bushes, and generally making
themselves as happy, mischievous, and un-
profitable as possible. SmOthered or frozen

Selling Farm Produce.

Every season we are in receipt of COM
plants from our readers concerning the re-
turns from the sales of farm produce in our
city markets. Many disappointments have
arisen through consigning goods to irrespon-
sible and incompetent commission merchants,
or rather to adventures without capital or
experience, who offer exceptional advantages
and promise improbable prices. Let every
farmer beware of the produce dealer who is
sues circulars soliciting consignments and
guaranteeing to sell any special line of goods
at an advance ON the market quotation. Re
sponsible, competent and trustworthy deal
ers may always be found who will deal fairly
and honestly with consignments securing
market prices for first-class goods
The average farmer and gardener spends
too little care and labor in the proper selec-
ton, packing and forwarding his produce for
sale in our metropolitan markets. Clean and
attractive packages, uniform and regular Sc
lections have much to do with the ready sale
of fruits and vegetables, butter and cheese at
remunerative prices. Yet still another i'm
pOrtant requisite in the sale of farm produce
is too often overlooked by the careless pro-
Queer. 1t is that of marketing choice articles
and inferior specimens in the same package
or in the same invoice. There may be no
fraud attempted in sending a dozen tubs of
low grade butter in connection with three
times that number containing n choice arti-
Gle but in five cases out of six the whole lot
will be sold as inferior, because portion of
it proves SO. Again, in shipping lot of APP
pies or potatoes to market sngaciOus man
would make at least two grades of each. and
if he decided TO forward the small aud inferi-
or specimens, rather than to feed them to his
animals at home, would pack each grade sep
arately and mark his packages to correspond.
Producers are apt to fancy that unassortod
goods will sell as well in market as those up
on which much time has been spent at the
farm, asserting that receivers may assert to
suit themselves but visit to the bustling,
active centres of trade would soon convince
our rural friends that the time and place to
make the selections is at the farm house, the
orchard or the market garden. 1t may be &C
cepted as a general rule, that most packages
of farm produce are sold in accordance with
the valuation of the poorest specimens con-
tanned therein, thus oftentimes sacrificing the
superior excellence of the bulk of the goods.
In many instances within the range of our
observation the farmer who selected out and
fed to his farm stock ten per cent. of his
fruit or vegetable crop, including the unmar-
ketable portion, has received far more for
that superior part of his crop which was mar
keted than his brother farmer who shipped a
much larger quantity of unassorted produce,
even though the average quality Of the latter
was higher than that of the former. Farmers
should weigh well the fact that upon judi
cious marketing, as much as careful cultiva-
ton, depends the net profits of their broad
acres.-Am. Agricultural

In the hot days of midsummer farm horses
that are kept at hard service need extra care,
even more than extra feeding. Too often
they are compelled to continue their heavy
work in the hot sun, worried by flies, after
they have reached dangerous exhaustion.
Many a good horse is irreparably injured
by the thoughtless driver, who takes no ac-
count of overheating, and keeps the poor
beast pressed to his work when needful
compassion would hasten to give the relief of
cooling shade long enough to still the rushing
torrent of blood almost bursting its channels.
In these days, when the principal farm nipple
ments are SO constructed that the driver may
ride, he needs more thought about the care of
the horses that do the work
A good way to use horses in hot days is to
take them out early and do half days work
before the sun pours down its fiercest rays,
and then give them rest. Turn them out
say between ten and eleven and leave them
until two O'Clock in the afternoon, when they
can be taken again and used until dusk BY
this plan they will work as many hours as the
driver is willing to work, especially if he is Il
hireling.
There are careless men who put the horses
mp Mt noon, and leave their harness on through
the resting spell Such men should be com.
PEELED to wenr overcoats all through dog days.
1t is slight job to strip the harness off, but
gives immense relief to the horse. On no &C
count shovld this little attention be omitted
In hot days horses have an increased desire
for water. 1t may be gratihed without risk
to their health if only ordinary good sense be
employed. Give a horse water at intervals OF
two or three hours. He may take all he wants
with impunity, unless he be unreasonably
heated. The practice is good, for besidel
adding to the comfort of the animal it increas.

in winter, they consume all their vital ener-
gies in sustaining life and roaming, forag-
ing and scratching ut large in summer, they
have but n small amount of surplus vitality to
expend in eggs. So poultry kept in this way
is not only improbable, but too often be-
comes nuisance Mt home, and pest to the
neighbors. We often hear of the unprofita-
bleness of barnyard fowls. Give the best
breeds such treatment as this for few years
and they will become common barnyard
fowls. This is the only way to make them
But give them generous food the year round
warm and airy quarters; plenty of sunlight
and ample grounds of their own to roam in,
and they will improve rather than degenerate,
and be a source of pleasure and profit instead
of loss
It is an almost fatal mistake to keep fowls
in too confined quarters. They must have
ample and airy, clean and sweet quarters to
stay in over night and shelter them from the
storm. These conditions are demanded by
all forms of higher animal life. The fact
that human beings are crowded together in
close, unventilated rooms affords no valid
reason why animals or fowls should be UNI
comfortably crowded In the case of the hui
man bipeds, no one may be interested in the
profit to be derived from Them but in the
case of the feathered bipeds the owner is d-
rectly interested. 1t is for the benefit of his
pocket to keep them as healthy and thriving
as possible that he may get the largest profit
out Of them. lie must give them plenty Of
breathing room, for nothing is of more i'm
portance than air, and keep them every way
comfortable and satisfied.
All fowls need space to roam and forage in
during the day in summer time. Fifty hens
ought to have an acre devoted to their use
certainly not less than half an acre. And this
space should be adapted to their wants aud
peculiarites; have open sunny and sheltered
places, coy hooks, and if it can be stocked
with grasshoppers pId other insects SO much
the better. If these are not present, animal
food must be supplied, as well as grain.
There should be grass, and other green food
may be cultivated for their stuff in their
grounds, but they allowed TO help themselves.
Thus kept and cared for as they should be,
they will not only yield the most profit, but
the most palatable and nourshing eggs and
flesh. -FdrmerS Adg0cdte.

INDIANS AS FARMERS. A correspondent
writing from Yankton, Dakota, says; The
fact of Indians farming to any extent may
seem queer, but could show you some nice
farms among the Indians. In 1877 and 1873
they commenced raising wheat, and having
good crops, they were encouraged to break
and SOW 200 or $50 acres this past season.
This crop is now being harvested and is the
best in southeastern Dakota, the grasshop-
pers having kindly passed over us The In
dams generally have now seen the advantage
of raising wheat over squaw corn alone, and
for the past two months they have kept 30
breaking plows in constant use, breaking
fields for wheat of 10 to 20 acres each.
Doubtless these will be enlarged next year.
All this is their own work, uuaidod except by
the loan Of plows and oxen.

The AMERICAN NEGLECT oP MUTTON. A
leading butcher in a suburban city informs
me that he sold but one sheep during the en-
hire summer; in fact he only sold portion
of that. After keeping it in his ice-bOx more
than month he took il home and ate it in
his own family. Notwithstanding the length
of time he had it on hand, it was sweet and
good, proving that mutton will keep as we'll
Ms, if not better than any other meat Dur
ing this time he sold thousands of pounds of
beef which had been brought ON the cars
hundreds of miles In the autumn he sold
hundreds of pounds of pork. To us there
seems to be u want of wisdom in all this.
His patrons refused TO eat the oeanest,
healthiest and most easily digested meat in
the world, and without thought apparently
or consideration followed fashion, or habit,
and ate beef more or less feverish and I'M
healthy, not knowing or caring where it came
from, and pork which might have been rear
ed in filth, and might be reeking with dis
ease. The farmers would be glad to furnish
mutton in abundance, il there was only de-
mand. 1t seems to be a universal practice
with Americans TO dislike mutton, or at least
TO eat scarcely any meat except beef and
pork. They will pay twice as much for beef
as mutton can be bought for. Chops always
sell high, because every one wants them and
nobody wants the rest of the carcass. Butch
ers say that they must sell one-third of the
sheep for enough to pay for the whole, as all
the rest has 10 be sold below cost. Americans
seem to be totally unused to mutton in any
form as oorned or sailed meat. There is no
better meat than corned mutton. 1t is excel
lent for soups and stews or to boil. The
hams may be corned and then boiled and eat
en- cold for any meal.-RurdL Ne,o Yorker.
