Famous Poultry Farms. i.

A famous poultry farm at Lancaster
near Boston is described by a CORE
spendent of the Country Gentleman. 1t
is owned by A. G. Hawkins, and he CAL
culates to have apout 5000 fowls every
fall, and carries over $500 laying hens
through the winter. At the present
time he has $4,000, including all sizes,
his farm contains 25 acres, and bis poul-
try buildings occupy an acre and u half.
They are situated on the south slope of
a hill, and comprise six or seven sheds
200 feet in length. Each shed is divided
into apartments of IL by 20 teet, and
about 25 hens are kept in each division.
A yard is made in front of each apart
ment, so that the members of each are
Oy themselves. Mr.. Hawkins believes
that if confined poultry have all their
wants attended to, they will do as
we'll in reproduction as if allowed free
range. He bases this belief rpon sever.
al tests. In Matching time he sets 200
hens on one day, and puts 500 eggs in
an mediator which is due to hatch on
the same dav, the chickens from which
will be distributed among the 200 hens.
Boston is one Of the best markets for
fancy prices for eggs and poultry, and
his sale of fowls and eggs for Matching
at fancy prices are large, about 80 per
cent. being profit. He also has stand
ing order for so to 80 dozens of eggs dai-
ly, for which he gets the highest market
price. Mr.. Hawkins began at the age of
2l, with 100 hens and, by careful man
agement and economy, his business has
enlarged so that, at the age of29, he
has very handsome income. The ma
nure from the poultry is quite an item;
he sold last year 500 barrels at $3.50
barrel.

FIELD AND FARM.
Flowing Under; Glover

A New York State correspondent
writes to the Country Gentleman: "Plow-
ing clover for wheat is still largely prac-
ticed in this section, with the difference
that now the top is mostly cut off and
saved for hay, and only the roots, with
what foliage cannot be moved, turn i'm
der. One fact about the recently cut
clover hay may not generally be known.
It is that 80 lone, rs the cloyer IS stand
ng the soil will be as hard as>d brick;
and almost t1nplowable; but If plowed
has been removed the soil will turn Dip
Two instances of this within the month;
and it is fact which have never be-
fore seen recorded. That the mass of
clover foliage should dry the soil rapid:
ly is not strange. The inexplicable part
Of it is that after this foliage las been
removed, without any rain; the, soil
should become triable and comparative
ly moist. 1t may be that the process Of
drawing water from the subsoil, which
with full foliage is at once evaporated,
goes on with little interruption for q
time after the foliage is removed. The
surface roots will thus be made very sap
py, just as the sap exudes from the
stumps of vigorous trees cut in spring
after the flow of sap has begun. Prob
ably the effect in helping the plowing by
removing the summer foliage would not
be the same with plants not having the
long deep roots of clover. The expert
ments Of Voelcker have shown that
clover makes the best preparation for
wheat after the second crop of hay is
removed. The soil is then richer IN fer
tilizing material than at any previous
stage Of clover growth: It is it benef-
cial effects on, the subsoil that makes
clover so good preparation for wheat:
Other foliage plants with roots near the
surface are of little value"

Making d Sow Own Hef PIGS.

A writer in the Husbandman says
that he had Chester White SOW about
ready 70 drop her pigs. So that day he
made 1t his business to keep close
watch of her. AS soon as the first pig
came she flew at it, and if it had not
been for him and club which he had,
she would have killed it instantly, but
we got it away from her and as fast as
they came along she tried to kill them.
He managed to save all but one of them
out of eight: After she was through he
tried to get her to lie down and let the
pigs suck, but she would not have pig
in the pen. So what to do with them he
did not know. He had heard to get q
cross SOW drunk would make her own
her pigs, but never hid any laith in it,
yet he resolved to try the experiment.
So he cot pint of alcohol and put it in
to four quarts OF sour milk and stirred
in one pint of corn meal and turned it
into her trough; she ate it and in about
twenty minutes was dead drunk. He
laid her out as he wanted her and then
put the seven pigs to her, and they
sucked all they wanted and then snug
gled down beside her and went to sleep.
He got out and lett them for the night,
and went to bed (it was then ten o'clock)
not expecting to find live pig in the
morning. But, to hissurprise, he found
them all alive and happy as clans, and
she was as proud of them as any SOW
could be.

Farming Notes.


Every dairyman should raise at least
one-eighth of an acre of corn fodder for
each COW. to help the pasture through
the dry season.
The Houdan stands at the head of the
French fowls as layers, and for the ia
ole. They are hardy, sprightly, hand
some, and the chicks mature early.
The advantage of an ensilage crop is
that it makes the farmer independent
of drought. Drilled corn or sugar cane
is rarely injured seriously by dry wealth
er.. II the weight is slightly lessened, it
is so much the richer, and the smaller
bulk Of stalks will require nearly as
much room in the silo after being thor
oughly pressed. il,

Experiments have proved that musty
meal is not wholesome food for any o1

death have been directly traced to its
use. When fed to poultry, chicken
