The views of the Poultry World on this
subject are expressed a, follows
A certain writer di-credits the claim that
pure bred fowls are better Hesl md egg pro
ducers than common stock. While admitting
that they do usually furnish more meat and
eggs than are furnished 10y the farmers flock
he thinks this is due to superior care and feed
ing. He says that person who pays two or
three dollars per dozen for eggs, or high
price for fowls, will be very ap; to give them
extra care.
There is, no doubt. much truth in the say
ing that the breed is il the feed but It Is
only the statement Of half truth Good feed
ing and care will compel any flock of fowls TO
do their best but after all. the characters
tic differences Of the varieties remain, and
cannot be changed by feeding. These differ
ences are, il many cases, constitutional that
is, by q long course of selection and local in
fluences, certain traits have become p,rma-
nently fixed. The blood Of certain varietit
is very strong, and viii show itself for gtner-
atoms in each successive cross The Game
cock will transmit his game qualities his
proud carriage and clost ness Of featLcriug
the Legloru his sprightly disposition and
wonderful productiventss the Asiatic iudo-
lent habits aud tendency TO lay on flesh and
fat all these being marked features Of the
breeds mentioned. Now. feeding will not af-
feet these distinctive tendencios-at least not
to any extent. They were formed by eli
matte influences, operating for thousands o:
years aided hy long process Of selection,
sometimes natural and sometimes guided by
man. In late years We have taken in hand
the several families Of domestic fowls. aud by
careful selection and breeding have o%agger-
ated as it were, their peculiar traits. until
they have become very strongly marked. To
say, therefore, that the average dUnghill fow

will do in eight or nine months, is to affirm
what a fair trial will show TO be false.

Utilizing Bones for VI anure.

The simplest way III which Il farmer who
pays due attention to that fundamental requi-
site, the manure pile, can obtain the full ben
eft of moderate quantity of bones is to
mix them in with the hot, fermenting ma
nure, provided the pile is kept in a proper
condition of moisture. The smaller and soft
er bones are thus reduced to a very efficient
state of communion within a few weeks (,
the larger and harder ones may be but partly
softened. and will. in that case, mostly be left
behind by the manure fork when the manure
is hauled out, to be subjected to the same
process q second time. The success of this
convenient process depends materially, Of
course, upon proper management Of the
manure pile which must neither be kept
sodden with water nor allowed TO fire fang. "
Larger quantities Of bones are very con
veniently treated whore wood ashes are abUnd-
ant, by packing them in ashes (Which may
advantageously have been previously mixed
with about a gallon Of Stacked line per bar
rel. either il barrels, hogsheads, or. best Of
all, in iron tanks, aud keeping the mass as
wet as may be without teaching. In the
course of from six to eight weeks most of the
bones will be found reduced 10 something
much like putty and this mass, with the
ashes, makes very ethcacious phosphate
fertilizer. Coal ashes. or any light soil, mix
ed with three or four pound, Of common
washing soda per barrel, Will DO instead Of
wood ashes. The vice of the process is that
much of the bone gelatine is thus lost in the
shape of ammonia gas but the bone phos-
phate Is left in very active form.
In my personal experience have come to
the conclusion that where the home prepare
ton of the bones in either Of the modes de-
scribed can be done in spare time that is,
without employing additional help for the
purpose of looking after the matter it is very
profitable to do so whereas, if special help
has TO be employed, or the manure piles or ash
tanks neglected for want of timely attention,
II doesn't pay.
As regards the mauuring Of fruit trees in
particular not the worst mode Of utilizing
bones is TO simply bury them in the ground
around the trees, which will gradually but
surely embrace them with their routlets and
consume them completely. The pear tree
through which the bones Of Roger Williams
fed his descendants is a case il point, but it
does not take couple of hundred years, I'M
der any ordinary circumstances, TO accom-
plsh the result A tree thus manured will be
sure to get all the phosphates it wants for its
well-being Professor Z. ". Hagard, Cali

need more water, as then they begin 10 grow /:
before that most plants simply live. Cactuses

bloom well later Keep callas standing in
water Keep the pots and leaves clean by
frequent washing Plants will not thrive if
dusty. Some plants do better in glazed pots
or wooden boxes, the common pots being so
porous as to extract all moisture from the
roots. If you simply wish to keep slips for
next year garden, fill starch-box with sandy
soil, set a number Of slips in it, keep wet and
in a sunny window.

ABoUT CoRNs.-Corns are known as hard
and soft, but their difference is entirely owing
to the locality. If corn is situated between
the toes, where it is kept moist by perspira-
ton, it is of the soft variety but if located on
the outside of the toe where il could get no
moisture, it would necessarily be hard. Corns
are produced by pressure or friction, and are
simply protective growth thrown out for the
purpose of preventing the tissues being in
jured
Corns are sufficiently painful at all times
but they are most unbearable when an accum-
ulation of pus takes place beneath them.
The escape of this drop of pus is prevented
by the hardened and thickened cuticle, which
must be poulticed or soaked in warm water
and then removed by sharp pointed knife,
The entire corn can be taken out with little
care and patient work without drawing a drop
of blood.
The application of caustics should be avoid
ed in the treatment of corns especially in old
people, as fatal gangrenous Inflammation may
be the result.
Temporary relief from painful sore corn
may readily be obtained by applying strong
carbohc acid. Take the cork out of a small
bottle of oarbolic acid and apply it, the cork
10 the corn. Relief will come at once. and
you will be enabled to walk with comparative
comfort till you can find time 10 remove the
corn with knife.
Hard corns may be treated as follows: Take
a thick piece of soft leather or felt cut hole
in the center. Upon going to bed at night
fill the hole in the center of the leather with
paste made of soda and soap wash it of in
the morning, and repeat the same process for
several nights, and the corn will be removed

The secretary Of the Royal Agricultural
Society Of England has prepared little work
on butter making, in which be gives the fol-
lowing rules as embodying the substance Of
the process adopted in the best districts in
Normandy
/. Clean all dairy utensils by rinsing
them with clean cold water and afterwards
scrubbing them with boiling water after
which repeat the cold rinsing.
2 Cool the milk directly ii is brought in
to the dairy by placing the cans il a running
stream, or by any other available method.
This, we may be permitted to observe, while
most desirable, is often not easily attainable.
The Americans, in selecting the site for the
dairy, always prefer the base Of hill, so as
to secure two very important factors-shel-
ter from the sun and a cool spring of water.
If running water cannot be obtained, that
from a deep well may be used.
3. Set the milk at temperature of not ex-
ceeding - in glazed earthenware or tin pans.
The question Of whether these shall be shall
low or deep will depend on our facilities for
reducing the temperature. If we have run
ming water or ice, there is no doubt that the
deep cans thus surrounded offer a greater
surface Of milk to the cooling influence and
this rapid and regular cooling causes the
cream to rise freely and quickly; but if We
have not these facilities. then shallow pans
are preferable.
4. Skim after twelve hours with per.
forated tin saucer, and take care that nothing
but cream is removed Twelve hours after
skim n second time but this should not be
mixed with the first skinned cream at all il
the object is to make the finest class OF
butter; but otherwise it must be mixed
with the first cream just before churn.
ing OF course by following this plan We dc
not obtain the maximum produce, but have
the best quality. If the cream is too thick, d
little pure water may be added. but the addi
ton of milk should be avoided.
.. Keep the cream, until the time iol
changing, in the coolest place available, il
covered eartlenware or tin vessels.
g. Churn the cream at a temperature OF
