Farmers, generally, do not understand
the breeding of fowls well enough to ena-
Bile them to practice in-and-in breeding
successfully, and for this reason l have al
ways advised farmers to change cocks ev-
cry third year, considering that the best
and cheapest way for the average poultry
raiser to keep his fowl stock from deterio-
rating. For farmers to change cocks every
third year would be, in most cases, throw
ing money away. We will suppose that
farmer has few hens that are extra lay
ers, and he mates them with a cockerel
from noted laying str in, expecting to
raise pullets that will prove better layers
than their mothers. In this he will proba-
bly, not be disappointed, out if he changes
cocks the second year it is quite likely that
the first seasons work, so far as any per-
manent improvement of his fowl stock IS
concerned, will be lost. But on the other
hand if he keeps the same cock and breeds
his best pulets back to him, he will find
that the chicks from this mating will pos
sess in marked degree all the good quail
ties OF the old breeds. The third year
fresh blood may be introduced, and the best
way would be to introduce it in the female
line. By following this plan of inbreed-
ing, and by careful selection and mating,
and by always introducing the fresh blood
SO as to give the old stock the preponder-
ance of blood, ''strain' may be estab-
lished that would well repay all the time
and trouble that it would take to perfect it.
But farmers will not ''fuss so much for a
few Chickens" so l advise the changing
cocks every third year.

OvERFEEDING WITH HAY Now that
cows are about going into winter quarters,
hint about feeding hay may not be out of
place. We often hear dairymen talk as If
the height of skill in taking care of cows
in the winter, was to get all the hay down
that it is possible TO cram into them 81
give my cows all the good hay | can get
them to eat, +" is the boastful remark often
heard from spirited and aspiring dairy
man, though in doing so he is wasting
good provinder without promoting the best
welfare of his animals. 1t is good thing
to feed cows well, and to be sure that they
have food enough to sustain them fully,
but it is neither wise nor economical to
crowd them with great bulk of hay of
any quality. II Is not wise to crowd any
animal with great bulk of coarse food.
Cows should have no more hay than
they have time to remastcate, and if this
is not enough for their necessities, they
should have some easy digesting concen-
rated food along with it. The quantity
If hay given should never exceed what
hey will eat up clear, and twice day is
'ften enough to give time for properly

A small brush of camel's hair had beer
dipped into fluid in which was some n
trate of silver, or ''caustic" as it is some
times called. The brush was wiped upor
white sheet. Pretty soon there appear
ed LACK stain upon white surface. II
did not look very dark at first, but the &C.
ton of the light seemed to deepen the col
or until it was an ugly spot that could not
be washed out nor beached out in whole
summers sunshine.
A bright lad heard vile word and an
impure story. He thought them over.
they became fixed in his memory, and they
left stain which could not be washed out
by all the waters of this great round earth.
Do not allow yourself to think of vile
''smutty" stories, or unclean words. There
are persons who seem to take an evil de-
light in repeating such things. And those
who willingly listen to them receive stain
upon their memory. 10 give ear to filthy
takers is to share their sin. Don't lend
your ears to be filled and defiled with
words and vile stories.
In these days of evil speech and bad
books it is our duty to take care what we
listen to and what we read. A bad story
and defiles the heart, pollutes the
and inflames the fancy.
Shun these things as you would poison
ous vipers. Draw back from hearing them
Is you would shrink from the ''cancerous
kisses" of the crocodiles seen in De Quin
,ey's opium dream. If by chance you have
heard any obscene words or vile stories,
irive them from your thoughts as you
would the black-winged bats from your
ace at night. Ask God to help you.

Health of Cows.

E. w. Stuart of New York, says that
the health of cows may be promoted by
studying the effect of different foods A
fruitful cause of disease in cattle is the
steady feeding of dry, woody, or fibrous
food. This produces impaction of the
manfolds and general arrangement of
the system. Oil meal seems to have a
similar effect upon the the system
to turnips or other roots. 1t pro-
duces general relaxation of the bow
els and counteracts the effect of dry, tibrous
food. In many dairy districts flaxseed is
purchased at moderate price, and say
from 81. 10 to 81. 30 per bushel, and it will
pay the dairymen or feeder of cattle or
horses, to buy few bushels of tiaxseed
and grind it with his other grain. One
bushel of fiaxseed mixed with twenty BUSH
els of corn and oats, and all ground fine to-
gether, will, by reason of its oil, render
slightly laxative and assist materially in
giving proper action to the digestive or
gans. This will answer instead of oil
meal 1t will show its effect by giving
soft, mellow skin and glossy coat. By
the effects of foods, the feeder
may prevent most of those diseases render
ing services of the farrier necessary. Food
is all the medicine that is needed.

tory was found to be furnishing very
poor quality Of milk. He had furnished a
good quality the previous season from the
same herd of cows. He was suspected OF
Swimming or watering. The lactomer and
cream gauge seemed to assure his guilt. A
committee was appointed, who proceeded
to milk his cows and test the milk without
possible chance of adulteration. The
innocence of the patron was established.
But what was the cause of this change OF
quality in the whole herdg The commit
tee reported that no cause was discovered
excepting the hay upon which they had
been fed during the previous winter was OF
poor quality, and consequently the cows
were exceedingly poor in flesh. These two
cases are not claimed to be sufficient to es-
tablish a principle, yet they lead to ques-
tioning some of the commonly received
views.
at is common,view that cow which
produces a large quantity of milk necessa-
rily produces poor quality. Was not this
view obtained from failure to observe the
conditions of the milking stockg Is there
any relation between quantity and quality
that necessarily they are found in inverse
ratio TO each other9 The quality may be
poor because the production of large guam
tity keeps the animal in reduced condi-
ton. But every dairyman has discovered
that frequently his richest mixers have
been his largest mixers, and that only as
they were reduced in flesh have the quality
and quantity alike failed. Some cows pro-
duce such large quantities as always to be,
while in milk, poor in flesh, but this does
not initiate against the following conclu-
sion: Cows of the same breed, kept in
equal conditions, quality to quantity will
more frequently be found in direct than in
inverse ratio to each other.-Fdrnn and
Firesi1e

Feeding Young Colts.

Young colts require grain the first year
of their lives at least. They need the most
nutritious food when weaned from their
mothers milk. The use of cereals will
prevent checking the growth of young
ANIMALS arising from the sudden change of
food. If they are stinted in feed at this
juncture, they may never recover from its
effects. Extra food and care in growing
young stock will be more than paid for in
early maturity and in their future growth
and development. Well-fed stock look ro-
bust and healthy. They put on an even
development of carcass, and therefore be-
come more perfect in form than ill-fed
stock Beautiful form is a measure of
of value. The starveling looks sickly and
emaciated, worn out with hunger before
matured. They grow one end one year
and the other the next year, and are there
fore out of all proportion. They have not
had sufficient food to supply the natural
waste of the body, and to replenish the
blood with living matter, to be deposited
in the remotest parts of the body to nourish
and invigorate its growth into full matured
form. Colts half-starved when young,
grow up with lank bo1ies, long legs, mar
row chests, and deformed quarters.

Quality of Milk.

More attention is being given to quality
of milk, by dairymen, than was done q
few years ago. 1t is new topic, compar-
aively, but one which may be profitaby
Investigated. A correspondent of our AL
bany contemporary not long ago related
the following instances of variations in
richness of milk in the same animals, that
are a little remarkable, and will serve a
good purpose in stimulating inquiry and
observation, with view to obtaining more
information in this behalf.
"a neighbor has a grade Jersey COW.
In June her milk was exceedingly rich,
testing by the cream gauge upward of "a
per cent the middle of October it tested
only Is per cent. The general observation
of dairymen is that quality increases with
the lengthening of the period of milking.
The COW was in perfect health throughout
tho season, and her feed was unchanged.
What is the cause Of this exceptional ac-
ticnl No cause has been discovered, I'M
less il be this In June she was fat; in
October she was poor in flesh from exces-
sive milk production. The theory based
on this is, that in June she started with an
accumulated store Of material which went
to add quantity and quality to the milk
she naturally would have produced from
her food. But that store being exhausted.
the quantity and quality were both neces-
sarily reduced.
"a case of like bearing occurred in Che
mango county few years ago. Early one
