Keeping Poultry.

For the past eleven years l have been inter
ested in everything have seen printed about
poultry, as | have been anxious to learn the
best method of keeping fowls, and whether a
farmer can make any profit from flock of 100
or 200 hens. | have come to the conclusion
that, according to the unanimous verdict OF
different writer's, there are few things from
which farmer can derive SO large profit
with so small an outlay as from flock of fowls
OF the right breed, properly treated. have
kept from 20 to 60 birds in order to ascertain
by experiment which breed was the best and
would yield the largest profit. My conclusion
is that farmers can do much better with good
common hens, with some good .blooded cock,
than with flock oftancy fowls. a good cross
among poultry is as valuable as among stock
One of the most profitable kinds for a farmer
is cross between the Lcgh0rn hen and PO-
land or Brahma cock. Their progeny are good
layers, nice for the table and profitable for the
market The White Leghorn IS the most prof
liable breed for eggs; they need little more
care than some other sorts, but care of poultry
pays.
In order to secure profit from fowls, how.
ever, few conditions are essential.
First, every farmer who keeps hens should
build henncry for them, so arranged that it
can easily be kept clean and well ventilated.
In winter the temperature in 1t should be warm
enough to prevent freezing, say from 450 to go
Fahrenheit. A supply Of fresh water is of
great importance; hens drink often If they can
get water. Ground feed is best when eggs are
wanted. Corn and mlddlngs form an excel
lent combination for food, but meat should be
given them by way Of change, once or twice Il
week, if not oftener With large flock of
fowls this is essential. Nests should be made
of bright straw instead OF hay. Hens are
pleased with a neat place for depositing their
eggs, and appreciate good care.
Hens receiving good attention will give a
net profit of from $3.50 to $500 a year each
until they are four years old. Clam shells are
excellent for making egg shells. They should
be burnt, pulverized and kept IN the hennery
at all times, especially in winter.--D. s. Hoyt,

New Departure In CreamerIes

The new plan of gathering cream for cream
cries. instead of milk-whlch has been tried
at several points in Iowa and elsewhere for
some months past-appears to work well. At
Emmettsburgh, Iowa, the cream from the milk
of some 400 cows has been collected for some
time in this manner, and in smaller way the
same thing has been done at other points, and
in all cases, so far as we have been able to as.
certain, the plan is very satisfactory.
The advantages of this plan are SO apparent
that 1t is little singular the patrons of cream.
cries, depending upon a ghborhoOd for
cream, have not sooner adopted It, 1t saves IL
large amount of labor in the first instance, and
it dlsposes of the difficulty which meets one Of
getting milk from remote points TO IA creamery,
IN condition for making good quality of
butter. The smaller bulk or quantity handled
by the new plan makes it an easy matter to
gather cream from neighbOrhood, while there
is no churning of milk in transit, as by the use
OF retrigerating cans the cream Is scarcely dis
turbed in taking it to the creamery or factory.
Again. the milk is all retained at home for do
meStlc use, or for feeding calves and pigs.
When this system becomes well understood
there Is no doubt Of its adoption bv crcameries
which depend on neighborhood for their sup
plies OF milk, and it is hardly less certain that
more creameries will go into operation and less
butter will be made by farmers wives and
uauSh'Cio' lHC vi system
such as this is, that with superior facilities and
thorough knowledge of what Is necessary to
produce good butter, an article of superior
quality IN flavor and color is produced than
can, as rule, be made at farm houses. Not that
much butter made by intelligent, neat and care
iul housewives is not sweet and golden, nutty
in flavor and quite uneXceptionabe; but such |
butter, homemade, is the exception and not
the rule. But admitting, even, that all the but |
ter made by individuals In any given neighbor-
hood and which finds its way to the store or
grocery, is sweet it is of all colors, from white
to dull orange. Butter of SO many shades,
packed promiscuously into large package,
brings only the lowest price in the market On
the other hand, if all the cream from which
such butter is made was collected and made at
one factory, and by the methods and processes
which are employed now at firstclass estab
lishments of this kind, an article, superior IN
quality by reason of its delicious flavor as well
as uniformity in color would be produced,
which would speedily obtain credit as par
ticular brand, and realize to farmers interested
in it far more money than they could obtain
under the other arrangement. We think this
improved plan is destined to revolutionze but
ter-making. 1t would relieve the farmers
wife of heavy burden, and bring more mon-
ey into the pocket-Anericon Stockmdn. u

Shelter for Swine.

Pigs that have always been kept in comfort
able pens are very susceptible to cold, and
any unusual exposure will be likely to induce
disease We once knew fine herd that had
been carefully fitted for the autumn shows, al.
most ruined by being turned out when the
fairs were over, and left to shit for themselves
without shelter Of any kind. A cold rain
storm coming on, nearly every hog in the herd
contracted a severe cold; in many individuals
this terminated IN rheumatism, while, in 9th.
ers, chronic cough and gradual decline,
ending fatally, was the result. TWAS eminent
ly proper to turn the hogs out after the fair,
but the neglect to provide suitable shelter and
protection from storms was piece of folly
that merted the punishment which the losses
Inflicted.
While on the subject of shelter for swine, it
Is well to call attention to the importance of
securing good ventilation in their sleeping
apartments. We have not the slightest doubt
