Chicken-Raising i'm the Past.

During the New York state fair even
ing meetings were held to persons inter
ested in different branches of husbandry.
At one of the meetings Mr.. A NJ. Hal
sted read a paper on poultry-raisiIIg as
practiced in former times, of which the
following is an extract: Fowls were
regarded as a species of freeboOters, and
Just barely tolerated. They rOamed
when and where they pleased. If per-
chance they were too free in the garden,
the hOuse-dOg was set upon them to
drive them out, or they were pelted with
stones, sticks or whatever was m st
handy. They roasted in summer in the
trees around the door yard in winter,
under the novels and Sheds on the carts,
wagons ladders, or wherever they could
find place. For nests, they had nearly
all creatiOn-the manager in the stable,
the hay-mOw in the barn, the old sleigh
under the cart-shed, the blackberry patch
in the corner Of the hOg-yard, the brush
heap in the woodward, or the high grass
or weeds in the neighboring meadow.
Semi-periodical egg hunts were made,
and the eggs obtained were sent to the
country store and traded off for needles,
thread, or other etceteras-many of these
eggs proving to the final possesser too
old fer Omelettes and too young for broil-
ers.
With the young chickens, the chances
were the same. If hen succeeded in
hiding her nest, so neither human nor
animal foe discovered it, she usually
brought out brood of chicks nearly as
villa as young cartridges. Later in the
season, as eggs became more plenty at
the stores, some hens were set, and, as
the chicks got old enough, they were
killed and sold as broilers-those which
were too wild to catch, and too late
Matched to bring good prices, being left
for stock for the next season. This was
the only survival of the fittest known
to the poultry-keepers of those days.
As to feed, the wood-pile, barn-yard,
hog-pen, and kitchen door-steps were the
restaurants of the summer, and in the
winter, few handfuls of corn in the
morning was thought to be all that was
necessary

A Cat Story.
Portland (Me.) Transcript


A frst-rate cat story has come to our
notice from an entirely authentic
source. The scene is laid in the village
of Yarmouth. An aged gentleman and
his housekeeper constitute the family,
and the good old cat finds the lines are
fallen to her in pleasant places. Family
prayers are the rule each evening in this
household, and the cat fell into the habit
of regular and punctual attendance.
No other of the cares that prOverbially
crowd cats life was ever allowed to
interfere with this religious duty. At
the signal for prayers, she would even
leave a mouse half caught, or give a
doomed bird longer lease of existence,
and decorously compose herself in the
lap Of the housekeeper with an air OF
attention to service that was highly
edifying. At the final "amen," she went
friskily about her business. But in an
evil day there came a kitten that was
deemed superhuous, and sentence of
death was passed uponit. The head of
the family undertook the execution OF
the sentence, and, unknown to HIM, the
cat was a witness to the scene. From
that day the cat refused to attend service,
and can not now be induced to listen to
the prayers of one who had so shocked
her sensibilities! She faithfully per
forms all other duties as before, and So
cially purrs for the family on all secular
occasions, but seems to say "let my re-
ligious hours alone"

Fall PIOMine.

We make the following extract from
the New England Farmer on the subject
of fall blowing: Whether to pillow in
fall or spring IS 4 question that has been
discussed for many years, and will con-
tinue to be discussed for great many
years yet to come 1t is one of those
questions that is continually presenting
ITSELF and must be answered in each case
according to the peculiar circumstances
attending it. As a general rule it may,
perhaps, be safe to say pillow light sandy
land late in the spring, and heavy clay in
the fan. Heavy clay land seems to require
the alternate freezing and thawing of
winter to pulverize and fit it for the next
year, crop, while light lands need no pull
verizatiOn. Sandy land will often lose
much by blowing away when not covered
by growing crops. Yet there are excep-
lions to this as to all general rules. For
corn cropit is thought, by many, that
spring blowing is decidedly best on any
land, provided the blowing is done late,
Just before planting, and the pillow not
allowed to run more than three or four
inches deep. 1t is certainly a great mis-
take to pillow heavy land in the spring,
whether old ground or sod, before it Is
dry enough to crumble and pulverize. If
plowed while too wet it is rendered lumpy,
and the Jumps, will not pulverize all
summer. Wet land plowed in the fall
will have the advantage of the winter
freezing TO pulverize the hard Jumps, and
this may be, and probably is one reason
why many farmers have supposed that
tail blowing Is always preferable.

ADVANTAGE of LiDera1 Feedins.

The National Live Stock journal says:
" If the sheep breeders faith in the eff
fcacy of liberality in the matter of feed
ing begins to falter, walk through the
pens of a first-class fair, and converse
ton with few of the more successful
breeders, will serve to dispel such doubts
as sure as the morning sun scatters the
mists from the mountain side. Size, SYM
metry, vigor, precOcity and prOliticacy
depend for their perfect development
upon the well-tilled granary and richly
clothed pasture of the husbandman as
surely as these and other attributes of
perfection are influenced by the breed
er's art. Not alone in the sheep depart
ment is this apparent. 1t finds empha-
sis in every ring, from that of the draft
horse to the pigeon coop. 1t is demanded
not only by the novice, who sees moth
ing beyond the graceful lines of contour,
but by the expert, as we'll, who recOg-
mics it as necessary to insure transmits
sion of those virtues he seeks to repro
duce and intensity in the offspring.
The experienced and successful breeder
recognizes no better reason for Withhold
ing food from animals under his care
than he finds for restricting the members
of his household in the same direction.
Given the proper kind and variety of
food, the quantity can safely be left to
the instincts of the animal. If regularly
supplied, no more will be taken than
can properly be assimilated, while wit
less quantity some detriment must en-
sue. Blood will tells but its story
will never be complete unless the scenes
of its triumphs be laid in proximity to
productive pastures and well-flled
trOughs."
While generous feeding is thus placed
among the essentials to the highest sue
cess, the same attention to detail-varie-
ty, quantity, quality, and the influence
of these upon fleece and fesh-will be re-
quired that is bestowed upon what are
commonly considered the higher arts of
breeding. Pampering with incongruous
food, restriction to limited quarters, the
creation and encouragement of vitiated
appetite, the administering of suitable
food at improper hours, or improper food
at any time-in short all errors of man
agement-are as cautiously avoided by
the successful breeder as would be the
use of a ram possessing some objectiona-
J BILE popularity of form or fleece, even
though the result of mistakes in the one
should not prove so permanently disas-
trOus as those in the other direction.

Soil for Sugar Beets.

The beet requires a deep, permeable
soil, for its roots penetrate deeply into
the ground and are abundantly supplied
with fine fibres through which it receives
its nOurishment. If the soil does not
permit the root to grow down deeply the
top will be forced to grow above the
ground, and the crown which grows out
of ground in nearly worthless for sugar
purposes. A deep, sandy loan is the
best soil to produce beets rich in sugar.
They will, however, grow on variety
of soils, and any soil which will pillow
and subsoil to the depth of twelve or
fifteen inches is a good best soil. Avoid
all wet lands and muck bottoms as I'M
suitable. Beets will not flourish on wet
lands, and what grow are not sweet.
Muck bottoms produce large tops but
small roots with little sugar In them.

Cotton Seed Meal as a Fertilizer.

The question of the use of cotton seed
meal as fertilizer is an important one to
the planting interests of the South, and
opinions differ as to its value as a special
fertilizer, and why? Because we do not
know "what are the mutual chemical
and physical reactions of the various
kinds of soil on the different fertilzing
materials in general use" Where soils
are rich in available mineral plant food
and poor in nitrogen, then the use of
cotton seed meal will prove of marked
benefit.
Where the soils are deficient in phos-
pilates and potash, then if persisted in,
the application of cotton seed alone will
prove Injurious The reason is obvious,
as the meal contains about eight per
cent. nitrogen, and only three and three
quarters per cent. phosphate acid, and
two per cent. potash. From the above
it will be seen that cotton seed meal acts
as a stimulant and frequently produces
large canes poor in sugar. At other
times it yields very remunerative crops.
The advice of a celebrated chemist is,
compost cotton seed meal with finely
ground bones, potash and dry mould.
Allow it to remain for about two months
and then apply to the soil, thereby adj
ding the most important elements of
food in the most available form.

bone Dn.t Coz Top presslng.


E. r. T., Saxonville, R. l., asks if bone
dust would not make a good dressing for
grass land to be applied this fall. Well,
as for that matter, we think it would be
better to compost the bone dust with
yard manure and then apply the COM
post. If six or eight cords of this fine
compost were applied to the acre it
would not only furnish good dressing
of itself, which the land would be the
better for, would act as a sort of mulch
or protection for the grass roots, and if
the soil was at all inclined to fsheave," it
would be a positive benefit. But our
correspondent must remember that the
disadvantage of using bone dust or
ground bone, alone, as fertilizer, is the
fact of its slow action. The nitrogen
and phosphoric acid which the bones
contain is very slowly rendered available
for plants, ON account of their insoluble
nature; but where the bone dust is added
to yard or barn manure as compost,
the bones cause the mass to ferment
and the heat engendered lib
crates the phosphoric acid and nitrogen,
which is absorbed by the manure and
given out more quickly to plants when
brought into contact with them. Good
practice and the last scientific authori-
ties have united in recommending this
as the best treatment for ground bone,
and the best manner of its application to
plants. Fifty pounds of ground bone to
a cord of manure would be sufficient
