PRACTICAL LESSONS.

In making up the breeding pen of fowls
you will not, of course, have neglected to
provide them with the comforts necessary
to d well-arranged chicken house, to-wit: a
low. board perch, dust bin, nest boxes mot
of old tin cans or other make-shiftS, but
such as are roomy enough for the hens to
set at ease when on the nest), together with
receptacles tor gravel, oyster shells and char
coal broken into small pieces.
The stock all right, the next consideration
in the line OF success is judicious feeding.
Give all the variety possible, using condi-
ments (if at alD only sufficient to properly
season the food. Beware Of dosing breeding
stock with cayenne pepper-a most power
tul stimulant, the excessive use of which is
one OF the man reasons why such puny
chicks are met with in the unskilled breed
er's hands. .
Look out for the eggs now. Gather them
daily and lay carefully away. A good plan
is to have a shallow box, in which to put a
couple of bran and stand the eggs small end
down in rows so as not to touch. Set all
eggs as fresh as possible, selecting the best
shaped and medium sizel.
Now, as to Matching. on course. no one
need be told to place the eggs under the
hens, as that has been the fagorite plan for

RoUP IN FOWLS.

s. E. Thomas, Putnam, Conn., writes to
inquire concerning supposed disease af-
fecting his poultry. The symptoms are a
growing or coughing noise made by the
fowls, especially when eating-more partic-
ularly when eating dough. Fowls that are
exposed to cold and wet are, like other ami
mails, subject to colds and simllar diseases.
AS much pains should be taken to give fowls
warm, dry quarters as we take to provide
our cattle and horses with comfortable apart
ments. A cold is the beginnings OF IA large
list OF diseases, both in man and animals.
If fowls merely cough or sneeze slightly,
when eating warm, sticky dough, it is no
indication of disease. A child may choke
and cough from eating too rapidly. The
hen breathes chiefly through the nostrils,
which open into the roof of the mouth
Pasty, sticky food would be quite likely to
adhere for a time to the inside of the mouth
while the fowl is eating, and thus cause
slight coughing. 1t is difficult to determine
whether this is only cough or disease.
In roup the birds are decidedly sick the
nostrls become closed and the head swells
with an accumulation of mucus the eyes
are often covered with frothy matter, like
air bubbles, which escape through the tear
ducts. This disease is contagious, and when
it is found to exist in flock. the affected
birds should be separated, as the disease
will be communicated by eating from the
same dish.
If roup be taken in its earliest stages, it
may be cured by washing out the heads of
the birds frequently, SO they can breathe
through the nostrils; but the best authori-
ties recommend removing the affected birds
and killing them Immediately, while they
are still hearty. The disease is local and
does not at first injure the bird as food
no more than would the winding of string
around the neck and tying it little too
tight for comfort and easy breathing.
AS in the case of most other diseases, an
ounce OF prevention is worth pound of
cure. Keep the poultry in wholesome quar-
ters, where they can keep their feet dry and
warm, and can breathe plenty of fresh, pure
air.-Neao England Farmer.

centuries among multitudes of poulterers,
but as the artificial incubator is preferred
by many of the more advanced poultry
breeders of the day, we think it best to have
our little say right here respecting this Ito
many wonder machine. In former arti-
Gle mention was made of the antiquity and
the extent to which artificial incubation was
carried on, which Ineed not here repeat,
but will say in justice TO the process and by
way of assurance to those contemplating
trial. that as fine chickens are being raised
will. infinitely less trouble by this method
as were ever raised in the good old way"
Actual experience demonstrates that
among the score and more incubators man
utactured in the United States (some of
which we have tried with varied success),
only about halt a dozen are at all worthy of
being ranked among the first class, and even
among this small number choice may very
wisely be made. In turning to the advertis-
ing depart OF the Rural Press we find them
all sizes and styles, and at prices that bring
them within reach of all. My advice is to
try 1t on small scale first, and enlarge only
as your success will warrant. We will now
leave the artificial hatching process with the
remark that good selfregulating incuba-
tor, with determination on the part of the
part of the operator, can scarcely fail to re-
suit in success. a.t''' f5 .. .'.
Returning to the natural method, we find
that when the hen is allowed to exercise
natural instincts the nest is generally made
upon the ground in some secluded spot,
where, with the earth to furnish moisture
and retain the heat impaired by the hen,
larger percentage of chicks are hatched than
by any other method of management with
hens. Let us then take lesson from this.
and first of all place the nest boxes of the
laying hens on the ground or very low down
at least, so that when they become broody
they will already be accustomed to the low
nest.-Paclfc Rural. IT, d. -H.sE ua5d

Hygiene Pudding. g.-This is very econom-
ical as well as a very palatable pudding.
Take fruit of any kind, fresh or canned.
Fresh fruit must be stewed with water and
sugar until it is cook about like it is in
fruit pie. Take some stale bread and cut
round piece the size of half dollar and Law
it in The bottom of pudding dish and ar
range around it strips or fingers of bread
about half an inch wide, remembering to
leave a space the width of the fingers be-
tween the strips. When the fruit is ready
and while it is still hot, put it in so as not to
displace the bread, and as further means
to this end. put the heavier part of the fruit

the mould, and the juice last of ALL Cover
the top entirely with stale bread, cut into
very small dice lay plate with a heavy
weight on the top of it, preserving the Juice
that rises above the plate, and set the pud-
ding in cool place until wanted If it is
well pressed down it win turn out in shape
and will be pronounced good.
Buns.-Deicious buns for tea are made
thus: Stir nearly halt pound of butter
Will one cup VI cream aQu nall pound
of sugar and beat them together until light;
beat four eggs also very light and add, at
the same time stirring in three-quarters of a j..
pound of flour; teaspeonfuI and half of
baking powder should be thoroughly mixed
with the flour first; flavor with a little nut
meg; add currants if you choose, and lit
tie brandy is thought by some people to be
an addition. Bake as soon as possible after
making them roll them in the shape of
round biscuits and rub them over the top
with little milk in which you have dissoly-
ed some sugar.
A Nice Way to Cook .Chickens.-Cut the
chicken up and stew until done; make a
thickening of cream and flour, adding but.
ter salt and pepper to taste; have made and
baked pair of short cakes-rolled thin:
cut in small squares and arrange on the
dish, pouring chicken and gravy over while
both are hot. This is much better than
chicken pie, and more simple to make.
To Cook Parsnips.-Wash. scrape and cut
in small pieces; boil until tender and dry.
Season with butter, pepper and salt.

1t is better for your plants to cut off, near
