reaching it and converting it into
an alkaline pickle. These troughs,
with their tempting contents, prove
efficient as bats for alluring animals turned
out on long runs during the day, home at
night. When cattle chew leather, wood and
old bones, remember it indicates a lack of
phosphate of lime in their food, which is
required to supply bone material. A tea
spoonful of bone meal given daily with
their grain will correct the habit and supply
the deficiency which induces it. II the dis
position to eat bones is INDUCED in when
cows are on grass, the deficiency evidently
exists in the soil, and the pasture will be
greatly benefited by top dressing of bone
dust. Two or three hundred pounds to the
acre, sown broadcast, will repay attending
expenses in better yield and quantity Of
milk and butter.

Raising Chickens.
Massachusetts, Plowman.


The great point in raising chickens is to
keep them eating all the time, or, at any
rate, to keep their digestive organs continu-
ally we'll supplied. "Short commons are
not economical in chicken raising. The
common custom is to keep dish of Indian
times day a lot is thrown down to the
chickens If they eat it, well and good; if
not. and the chances are they will not, they
having become tired of one single article of
diet set before them day after day, it stands
and sours. If quantity is thus found I'M
eaten, the next feed is likely to be light
one, and the chickens, driven by hunger,
finally devour the sour stuff. The result is
cholera or some other fatal disease sets in,
and the owner wonders "why my chickens
ara all dying OFF, In our own practice we
find that small quantities of varied food, if
given to the chickens often, producs vastly
better results than any other method OF
feeding
EIndian meal dough we banished from our
poultry yards long ago, and on no conditions
would We permit young chickens to be fed
with 1T. Fot the first morning meal we give
all our young poultry stock boiled potatoes,
mashed up fine. We find nothing 30 good
and acceptable; and, as we use only the nall
pOtatoes-those which are unmarketable and
not large enough for the table-they prove
to be more profitable than any other article
of food.
Wnen, IN Gays gone Dy, we USED TO feeQ
the chickens with the traditional Indian
meal dough, we always counted on losing a
large percentage of them, and the numbers
that died from cholera, diarrhoea and kindred
diseases were great. Now sick chicken is
unknown to our yards. and we lay our sue
cess entirely to the disuse of Indian meal
dough. After the potatoes are disposed oil
we give our chickens all the fine cracked
| corn they will eat up clean. We can moi
| find in the grain stores corn cracked to the
| proper degree of fneness and we have as q
| fixture in our poultry house a large sizei
coffee mill, such as grocers use, and we ruI
| the corn through that.
OF course, large chickens those which are
| 10 or Il weeks old, do not need such fine
| ground corn, but the young birds do. In
about two hours after the cracked corn Ii
eaten we give all the wheat screenings thai
| the chickens will eat, and in another two
! hours spread before them q fresh meal Of
boiled potatoes. For supper they have al
the cracked corn and wheat they can eat.
| The best system of feelings, no viewer, will
not avail if the young birds are permitte,
to become overrun with vermin. The,
should be anointed on their heads and unde
| their wings and on their backs once q weei
| with mixture of equal parts of lard an
kerosene oil; and il the hens are anointe
In the same way the additional labor viii
prove remunerative. Unless proper man
agement is exercised. chicken raising is on
of the most unsatisfactory of employ ments
but If it Is done systematically it is as profit
able and pleasant as any other business.
