WINTER TREATMENT OF POULTRY-
a correspondent, in addressing us on this
subject says in brief, that each fowl ought
to produce one hundred and sixty eggs n
year; that In winter warmth is indispens-
BILE that the fowls must have some of the
food they find at other seasons when at
large; that they must have plenty of room
in their house, and it and the laying boxes
kept clean; that they must be fed with
corn, barley, oats, and have box Of sand,
oyster or clam shells pounded up, or old
mortar, or bones, dried aud pounded fine !;
that mashed boiled potatoes and corn meal
are excellent that fatty matter Of any kind,
fresh beef, or pork scraps. etc, must form
a portion Of their diet; that hens are fond
or vegetable matter during winter and will
eat cabbage, etc; and that they must be
kept pure from vermin, which nearly always
follows entire cleanliness. In case, however,
vermin should still make. their app earaDoe,
there is nothing so defective "a removing
them as rubbing the top Of the head, under
the wings and upon the back, with lard.
These suggestions We have made time and
AGAIN; and have only to add now, that all
who desire complete success, and Of course
satisfactory profit from poultry-raising,
must adopt them. -Michigdn Farmer.

ANswER-Q). We;ase afraid that our
aus er will provoke controversy with
some Of the readers OF the WORLD who
have inherited the notion that the moon
has an all prev. ling Influence over vegeta-
ton. We must FIRST coutcss that We have
never had any confidence whatever in the
dictum-not enough to make Il direct cx-
pertinent to prove its truth or fasity. We
have observed, however, that one Of our
neigHbors AN old aud generally successful
wheat grower-always adhered to the rule,
and sowed during the dark nights" On the
daytime tho@gh). But he always applied
about fifty bushels Jf cotton seed per acre
and ''put in" the wheat with great care, and
when he did fail of a crop he attributed the
failure to rust or some other casualty, Just
as we all do. The time Of sowing is mpor-
tant, aud when the nights are dark, about
the last Of October, it is well to "sow in
the dark nights )" but, according to our
observation, the last of October or first of
November, or about tic time ?fMc first
Killing frost, is the best time to SOW wheat
in the cotton belt
(2). 1t depends upon the quality of the
land and the time of sowing. Early sown
wheat having more time to tiller need not
be sowu SO thickly. The variety of wheat
will somewhat affect The quantity, as some
kinds naturally tiller more than Others.
Generally, the seeding should amount to
"nctenth of the expected yield Much
may be saved by sowing with great care, so
IS to insure uniform distribution on each
acre, and on every spot in proportion to its
fertility. The sowing of Il few acres OF
whcat-,j Just enough to supply the family
is such small job, that we would prefer to
to do it by hanI, going over the ground not
more than twice, and being governed at
every step by the quality and condition of
the soil Machine work is only rcccommen>
dcd on large areas.
The plau Of "ribbing," as rrac:ictd by
>onic, is good, both for wheat and osts 1t
consists in thorough blowing the ground
one way, then cross blowing or plowipg ON
level, with scooter p!ows-layiug the fur
rows about every twelve incher or less So
that they will be left open. Then SOW tue
seed with care-going over at least twice
and cover by dragging Il harrow or brush
crosswise the burrows. This plan puts the
grain in drills almost as a aifecturiy As il
sown with a drilling machine, and leaves the
rows slightly below the level. In the case Of
oats tins greatly lessons the danger OF
damage by winter freezing. The fertilizers
may be sown in the same way.
