CHARcoAL FoR FOwLs.-There il one
thing which nature does not supply and
which civilization renders quite necessary
TO fowls. Ii is charcoal. Charcoal made OF
wood does not answer the purpose. IL has
no taste Of food. il is not attractive to
fowls. and is seldom eaten But if any one
will put an ear of ripe corn into the fire ull-
til the grains are well charred, and then
shell off the corn and throw it to the flock,
he viii see an eagerness developed and a
healthy constitution brought about which
will make a decided improvement. All
pale combs will become a bright red, the
busy song which succeeds laying will be
heard, and the average yield of eggs will be
greatly increased.

DON'T LET THE Cows TO DRY.-A long,
even season Of milk is absolutely necessary
to be a profitable one. There is nothing
that the dairyman needs mors exhorta,ion
upon than that Of giving full ration to his
herd at all times during the milking season.
There is less excuse for feeding good
mich COW stingily than any other farm ami
NAL. She does not ask any credit; she
