hen is sure TO lay II bred for that purpose
oiten'imes hens are profitable under three
years Old, according to he breed and keen
ing, but later than this it is not profitable TO
keep them, unless superior as breeders, The
amount OF eggs is probably the largest the
nrst year, still many are equally as prolific
'he second year, and the eggs have the ad-
vantage OF size. The keeping OF good old
io"is, when layers, is not without profit,
a1though some plans may be frustrated
The same TODD that produces flesh also pro-
duces eggs, and when hens are fed on diet
that produces flesh, the process also brings
on egg production. There are instances,
however where fowls take on an excess of
fat. In this state they are more or less dis
eased. There is a difference in breeds. All
fowls are good, but according to treatment
or LEGALITY, some may be better than Others.
according TO the purpose for which they are
kept. Some are best for flesh, some tor ergs.
while Others combine the two. and others
still are kept for mere ornament. The Ban
tams' pea fowls and Guineas may be ranked
among the latter, as we'll as many AQUATIC
birds. For profit it is the food that tells.

POULTRY DISEASES.

Fully nine-tenths Of the diseases frem
which fowls suffer are simply and solely
caused by vermin. Careful investigation has
established this as fact. The comb of the
fowl may be considered its health indicator.
The first intimation close observer of his
flock has, is in the condition of theirc comb.
Comparatively few birds in their natural
wild state die of disease. They have GER
tain ways to keep themselves comparatively
free from lice; fifty are not crowded in
space where only twenty five should be !:
natures (brd) laws are not transgressed
and they thrive in health. With domestic
fowls ii is different they are crowed to-
gethsr, become lousy and yet the cholera

ing. The successful experiments in this
Territory have been upon lands where
there il an underlying moisture a few feet
below the surface. wiic, probably accounts
for the quick setting. The length of time
alfalfa takes to become set appears to de-
pend upon the depth of the soil to moisture
All that seems 10 be needed is enough wa
ter to sustain plant life until the roots can
go down 10 moist earth. In conversation
OF this subject with VIC. Orr, of Beaver
head county, an experienced agrculturalst
from the Western coast, an instance was
related by him where high bench-lsnd, a
baren-like desert. had been sown by his
brother. The land was considered value
less and lett untouched for sixteen wears.
when it was found that the alfalfa had be-
come deeply set and quite productive. Itis
now very valuable for pasture. The falling
Of bank showed that the roots had n.pe-
trated TO the level OF river, where mois-
ture is good. Mr.. Orr ia of the opinion that
any Of our uplands will produce alfalfa. N

The lumber of the fnture is to be made OF

better class, so says the Southern Mamutac-
turcr and Builder. 1t is manufactured into
any desired length, from twelve feet upward
and as much aa thirty-two inches in width.
The cost is such as to compete with better

POULTRY FOR MARKET.

In oar issue OF the 29tn OF Dect mber we
gave some hints on dressing poultry for
market. We now quote from the Indiana
Farmer paragraph on killing and dressing,
which will repay perusal and considera-

"Poultry, when bled to death. is mucl

the beak of the fowl, then with narrow
and pointed knife make an incision at the
bark of the roof, which will divide the YER
tebrsee and cause immediate dea,h; after
which hang the fowl up by the legs until
the bleeding ceases, then rinse the beak out
with vinegar and water. Fowls killed in
this manner keep longer, and do not pre-
seat the ndsightly external marks as those
killed by the ordinary system Of wringing
the neck. When the entrails are drawn i'm
after death and the fowl stuffed.
AS they do in France, with paper shavings
or short coceanut fibres to preserve their
shape, they will keep much longer fresh,
some breeders cram their poultry before
killing, to make them appear heavy. This is
most injudcious plan. as the undlgested
