THE Age OF FowLs.-f hens spur is
hard and The scales on the legs rough, she
is old whether you see her head Or not, but
her head will corroborate your observation.
lf%he under bill is so stiff that you cannot
bend it down, aud the comb thick and
rough, no matter how fat and plump, leave
her for some one less particular. A young
hen has the rudIments of spurs; the scales
on the legs are smooth, glossy and fresh
colored, whatever the color may be; the
claws tender and short, the nails sharp, the
under bill soft and the comb thin and
smooth. An old hen turkey has rough
scales on the legs, Caliosities on the soles OF
the feet, and long strong claws; young
one the reverse or all those marks. When
the feathers are on the old turkey cock has
g long tuft or beard; young one but
sprouting one; and when they are of the
smooth scales on the legs decide the point,
besides the difference in the size of the
wsttles of the neck and IN the elastic shoot
upon the nose. An old goose, when alive,
is known by the rough legs, the strength OF
the wings, particularly at the pinions, the
thickness and strength of the bill, and tue
fineness of the feathers; and when plucked
by the legs, the tenderness OF the skin
under the wings, by the pinions and bill,
and the coarseness Of the skin. Ducks are
distinguished by the same means, but there
il the difference that duckling's bill is
much longer IN proportion to the breadth OF
its head than the old ducks.

WHAT SIZE TREES To Buy. Y.-Purchasers
of trees often make the mistake of suppos-
ing that the larger the tree bought the
greater the gain. Nurserymen, who OF all
men should know as to this, say that there
is absolutely nothing gained by buying
large trees. This applies OF course in a
general sense. If tree could be removed
every few years, so as to have an abundance
of fbrous. or small roots, there would be
no check on removal, and such tree would
ssAeTcr become too large to move prOfitably.
Ehe general run of trees are not treated
thus, and so, the larger the trees the less
likely Is it to have many roots, and as
consequence the tree must either be pruned
back severely, or let alone to make weak
growth, and perhaps die. The best way is
to get medium tree, treat it well, and 1t
will give far more satisfaction than large
one would have doae, without much doubt.

OLD SCYTHEs MADE USEFUL "A. j. T.
Howard writes: Having, like almost
every other farmer, number of old scythes,
some of which are not much worn, and
having last winter little leisure, made
some very useful and handy tools, and
without any outlay. To make bin hook
/ cut Oft 90 inches of the point of an old
scythe, leaving 10 inches for the blade.
The handle is made by cutting away the
edge or blade part of the scythe, leaving
the back, around which cloth was wound,
until it was of sufficient size, when it was
covered with leather. For drawing knife,
which find useful in making handles TO
tools, ETC., | use "a inches of an old
scythe, II inches for the blade, and 8
inches at each end for the handles. With
cold chisel cut away the blade portion
of the scythe at the ends, and bent the
back which can be done without heating.
The handles may be made of cloth and
leather, as for the bill hook, or of wood. A
knife for pairing apples, cutting turnip tops,
and many other uses. This is made from
the end of scythe, inches for the blade.
cut the back of the scythe entirely away,
using only the thln part, then took piece
of wood-an old broom handle will do
and with fine saw made cut in the end
to admit the end of the blade, which was
fastened on by rivets. A chopping knife
for cutting meat, apples, etc. For this
knife | used II inches of the middle of q
scythe, leaving inches for the cutting
surface 10 the centre of the piece. The 4
inches on each end had the blade removed,
and were turned at right angles to the CEN
tral portion, with the ends passing into a
wooden handle" But very few tools are
required in making the articles above de-
scribed, and any farmer, during q rainy day
or two, may construct them fIom an Old
scyIae, and at nc outlay of money.
