coon AND BAD BREEDING OF POULTRY.

There is great difference in the plans used
by poultry breeders, even when they desire
to do the best they can for the comfort and
we'll being OF their fowls.
They are inexperienced and often fail in
producing the desired results, snoh failures
arising partly from badly constructed shelter,
allowing the fowls 10 torsge for themselves
anywhere and everywhere in all kinds Of
weather. Some elsim TO allow birds to
rough II, keeps them in the best health,
makes them hardy, aud in feet Is the most
natgral for them.
Carelessness in tho littls deteils necessary
To Eo6fff ffEsa q geiiisgit, sueh rs the waste Of
food, feeding irregularly, unguarding them
from exposure, Is often the cause OF the bad
and Improbable results experienced By those
Just starting in the business.
To be good breeder "a 10 be one who
is willing, In part, at least, 10 give back an
equivalent for what he receives from his
properly tended ana kindly treated stock
No man should keep on his premises any
animal which he is not disposed to care for
properly, either by attending to it bimself,
or having 1t attended TO by s0me one COM
petent and faithful, aud particularly in the
care OF fowls and nhickens, AS they beng un-
able to care for themselves, need 10 be pros
yided tor.
The more care and attention is given 20
keep them In good appearance and health,
the more uniformly they are fed and watered,
and the moro cleanly they are kept in we'll
lighted and Yentisted quarters, the better
returns they will make US Tor such attention.
The last course OF treatment will insure
successful breeding, and we hope no intelli-
gent man will keep more stock than he can
attend to unless he desires to bo out of pOck-
ei; sure way to become disappointed and
disgusted with poultIy breeding.
To become successful breeder requires
time, care, thought and study, as well as
prac tice, and now is the time for cur readers.
who have not already done 80, 20 begin.
Select some good fowls OF any breed when
you may fancy, of pure blood, and start with
one kind only, until you have learned their
habits and how to manage them; have
patience to learn we'll you will be amply re-
paid for your trouble; and started upon
good foundation will be able TO compete with
those who have already been long IN the
business. Montreal journal OF Agriculture.

sheep.

1t Is folly to keep old sheep. They should
be turned or to the butcher while they arc
in their prime. II docs not take half as much
to iatten them then. When they got old and
thin in order to put them In condition to
slaughter, the whole structure must be re-
built. -Four sets OF lambs arc all any ewo

Mary Anderson's Mare.

The Louisville Post and Ners has the
following: Mr.. J. r. Middleton, of S.
Barker & Co., has sold, through Messrs.
Ireland & Co., to Miss Mary Anderson,
the actress, his magnificent mare,
"Maggie Logan" the dispatch closing
the trade having been received last
evening. The mare will be shipped to
Long Branch this afternoon at 4 O'Clock.
The price is kept q secret, as Mr.. Mid
dleton says " it was very large one, q
fancy price, but the animal is the finest
of her class, believe, in the world. :"
She was brought out this morning and
exhibited before the Post and Necs man,
and certainly handsomer animal he
never saw. She is over l6 hands high,
q rich dark bay in color, with three
white points and white snip. She is
just years old, and was bred by MIR.
Faut oil Warren County. Her sire was
Hunters LexiDgt ton, 3 famous thorough
bred, and her dam was an Altoff mare.
She is perfectly trained to every saddle
gait, and last year was driven q mile to
buggy by lady in $40. She has
been shown against large entries at fairs
20 times; on - occasions she carried
off the blue ribbon, and took the second
premium the remaining one time.
Miss Anderson and her mare, when
they appear together at Long Branch,
will create a sensation without doubt
