SALT ToR PoULTRY.-We clip the
following useful hints: Hens often
have habit OF biting AMI pulling at
their feathers. aud greedily eating them
until their bodies arc bare. This prac-
tice, it Is believed, is occasioDcd By
want Of salt, as whom sslied food Is civ.
en- them, they make no attempt to con
tinue tho habit. Salt pork chopped
Gnc and fed twice week, has been A.
dopted with success. while Others put a
teaspoonful q salt with two quarts of
meal or shorts mOistoned, well mixed.
and feed 10 about twice every week
Fowls, like human beings, to be healthy,
must have certain allowance OF salt.
So long a. tho American people prize
sugar sweet cakos. and the New York
hotels consume 100000 chickens and
poultry and five and a half millions OF
eggs every week, tho poultry business
10 this country will remain good one.
Give your fowls warm, clean houses,
and dry, grassy runs, II you would bavo
them clear Of Group aud canker. AMI
feed them regularly with good aourish-
ing food, IL you would have them free
from disease, lay more eggs, and DO
more profitable every DAY.

not dangerous wounds, and several other
