Profits and. Losses of Poultry.

Il
Writers on poultry differ about which
is the best breed of fowls to keep. One
has an "ax to grind" others are infu-
enced by their likes and dislikes. What
wonder, then, that farmers and novices
in the poultry business are at loss to
know which breed is hest adapted to
their wants? Extravagant and often
misleading statements about this or that
breed, or strain, frequently appear in
our poultry and agricultural journals,
| and by referring to the advertising col
| umns, oftentimes, a reason for these ar
ticles may be found. Seldom does a
season pass but that | see, hear, or read
of the same old story-of eggs failing to
| hatch, fowls not answering description
given of them, or not being up to regul-
alton points of the breed, and these
are all sold at high prices by some not
over scupulous breeder or dealer. There
are honest dealers who take every pains
| to deal fairly with their customers, and
| they find their reward in it by the APP
probation of their patrons and ready
sale of surplus stock and eggs at remun-
erative prices.
Poultry raising, to be profitable, re-
quires thorough knowledge of, and
adaptedness to, the business on the part
of the keeper. He should be located
| within easy distance of some city or
good market, near railroad station if
transportation is necessary. He should
select such breed or breeds as his taste
and other circumstances will warrant.
He should provide good, comfortable
houses. with runs adapted to the object
in keeping, bearing in mind that eggs
for producing chickens are very much
better where the hens have a free run
and plenty of cocks (say one to ten) for
breeding hens. For market and num-
bers of eggs, limited confinement with
out cocks is preferable. The two fore
going essentials provided, he should
feed his fowls regularly three times 4
day, varying the food as much rs posi-
BILE ut the three feeds. Soft food, hot or
cold, as the weather may be, should be
given in the morning. This may be
meal, bran, vegetables, meat, etc, mix
ed, wet with water or milk, giving once
or twice week with this food dose of
red pepper. The other two rations may
be of whole grains of different kinds,
charcoal (and no better charcoal for the
purpose can be had than corn on the cob
charred by placing in the stove oven till
properly cooked, plenty of green grass,
clover, rowcn hay, cabbages and turnips
should be within their reach. He should
also provide plenty of pulvcrized oyster
shells, bones, old Stacked lime and
gravel, with busting places for their
use.
Lastly. he should keep his fowl house
scrupulously clean; whitewash and
fumig gate as often as is necessary to the
purpose. He should never crowd too
many fowls into one compartment; not
over thirty or forty, better less. He
should COLOMBO rs much as possible, and
avoid in-and-in breeding as far rs may
be. | believe that the foregoing en-
brace the essential and fund amental
rules for profitable poultry raising, and
that he who follows this course will
meet with success. Neglect them and
fowl raising will be found uphill
work, p" and Il non-paying business.

Adam, Lillith and Eve.

One day 1t Numbered and lghtened,
Two women, fairly frightened,
Sank to their knees, transformed, transnxed
At the feet of the man who sat betwixt:
And Mercy! cried each-'If tell the trutl
OF passage in my YOUTH!
Said this: "Do you mind the morning
Imet your love with scorning?
AS the worst of the venom left my lips
Thought If, despite this lie, he strips
The mask from my soul with a kiss-I crawl
His slave-soul, body and air"
Said that: "Wc stood to be married:
The priest, or some one, tarried;
If Paradise-door proved lockedp' smiled you
II thought, as nodded, smiling, too,
Did one that's away, arrive-nor late
Nor soon should unlock Hell's gate!''
1t ceased to tighten and thunder,
Up started both in wonder,
Looked around and saw the sky was clear,
Then laughed, Confess you believed III
dear!"
~ saw through the iokc!' the man replied,
They re seated themselves beside.

Air-Germs at Different Seasons.

The observations conducted ut the OBJ
serratory of MontsouriS show that there
are on the average eighty bacteria in n
cubic metre of air The highest number
was observed in the fall. the lowest in
the winter There were found fifty
bacteria in December and January, only
thirty-thrcc in February, one hundred
and five in May, fifty in June, and one
hundred and seventy i'll October. The
diagrams of daily observations show
that the number of spores of these alg9
increases with the temperature. In
verscly to what takes place in the case
of the molds, the number of the schiz-
ophytes, small in rainy weather. rises
when all the moisture has disappeared
from the surface of the soil. The count
craction of moisture is stronger than the
direct action of temperature; and this
fact accounts for the rarity of the bac-
terra after the great rains of February,
April and June. Still Il long period of
dry weather does not appear to be favor
able to the development of the plants.
The number rises at first during tie hot
season, but diminishes under the intlu-
cnce of a progressive desiccation toward
the second or third week.
The diminntion in hygrometric con-
ditions manifested in September and
October explains the rccrudesccnce of
the bacteria during these months.
Some photographers have suggested
that the germs may be transported by
the vapor of water; but NJ. Miquel's ex-
perimcnts invalidate this hypothesis, and
indicate that the evaporation of water
from the surface of the ground never
carries any schizophytes with it. On
the other hand, numerous tests have
shown that dry dust, especially those of
hospitals, proceeding from substances
in state of putrefaction. sanious pus,
and the objections of the sick. are charg
ed with microbes. Great agglomerations
of men furnish the most of them. Ac-
cording to the measurements made in
the Rue dc Rivoli and MontsouriS, the
air in the interior of Paris is niue or ten
times richer in bacteria than that in the
neighhorhood of the Notifications. Pop
