FEEDING CHICKENS.

Fanny Field, one of the best instructors
we have in poultry matters, makes the fol-
lowing suggestions to the readers OF the
Prairie Farmer, about feeding chickens
lone OF my correspondents wants to
know why chicks should not be fed soon
after Matching. Simply because they don't
need food. The yolk-sac which is absorbed
just before leaving the shell affords sufficient
nourishment for the first twenty or twenty
four hours. After beginning, feed often,
say five or six times a day for the first
month or six weeks; then the number of
meals per day may be gradually diminished,
until at ten or twelve weeks they will thrive
on three meals per day. Feed early and
late. The first feeding should be as soon
as possible after daylight, the last as late as
they can see to eat. When old enough to
swallow the kernels, let the last feed at
night be wheat or cracked corn.
Feed regularly-not their breakfast five
O'Clock one morning, seven the next. and
the other meals whenever you happen to
think of it. Chicks standing around two or
three hours at time chirping for food, are
not remarkable for rapid growth.
Don't feed uncooked meal, sour food of
any kind, or sloppy food. Chicks may live
some of them-on such stuff, but they
will not thrive. 1t is some trouble to cook
and prepare the right kind of food for
large number of little chicks, but 'whatey-
er is worth doing at all is worth doing well.'
Chicks that are fed generously and regular
ly on fresh, wholesome, cooked food. for
the first three or four months, will make
better breeding stock, better layers, and
better market fowls than those that WORRY
along through chickenhood on scanty ra-
tions of raw meal and water.
Don't waste food by throwing it on the
ground in the dirt, or by feeding so much
at time that greater portion will be left.
| know poultry raisers who in that way
waste more food than the chickens eat, and
then grumble because it costs so much to
raise chickens Feed each time what thew
will eat up clean and no more. A few
spoontuls of chicken food may seem like
small matter, but it is the close looking after
these small matters, the stopping of little
waste here and little waste there. that in
creases the credit side OF the account"

age yield about them. If we seek the cause
OF these exceptional cases. we shall find the
answer in one word, thought and in the ap-
pllcatlon OF thought to the improvement of
all the surroundings of the farm. Improved
soil and stock, improved and selected seeds.
improved machinery and culture; adapta-
ton OF the crops to the soils, make these
larger yields, and these farmers are every
where pointed at as the 'lucky" farmers.
Such success is due to the constant employ
ment of the owners brains, in his business.
AS he turns the furrows he is constantly
studying the soil he is rolling over, and
trying to discover its needs, and how he
can increase its productiveness; as he feeds
the stock he is thinking how he can COM

how prepare it so that the animals can be
induced to eat and digest larger ration in
The same time, so as to make greater gain.
He is constantly seeking to know how he
can improve his stock by more careful

his reach; his shelves are filled with we'll

THOUGHT PAYS.

A careful study of the census report
shows that the average of crops on the
farms of this country is exceedingly small /;
scarcely more than paying the cost of pro-
duction, and compelling the owners to prac-
tice close economy to support their families.
If we as carefully study the farmers and
their methods, seeking the cause, we shall
find that in no other business is so little
thought used or so little time spent in pre-
pairing for its successful prosecution. Farm
ing is run, as it were, in series of ruts !:
certain crops are planted at stated times in
a certain way, simply from force of habit,
or because such happens to be the custom
OF the community. A failure is often made
of wheat crop on land especially adapted
to potato culture; barley Is grown at loss
on land that would produce magnificent
and paying crops of oats. The cause of all
this is simply a lack of the knowledge of
the constituents of the soil, their adaptation
to different plant growths; to lack of suffi-
ciept thought on these matters. The own
ers plod along year after year with bare
subsistence, with little more thought than
the teams they drive, finding fault with the
soil, weather, Providence, their business,
everything but the right one-their own
ignorance.
That farming itself is not chargeable with
these results, is proven by the fact that in
every community are persons whose crops
are three or four times as heavy as the aver

year i'll August, and nursing carefully
through the winter-that is to say to pro-
tect it lightly from the extreme severity of
the weather, but see that it is not killed or
smothered with kindness. But, by layer
ing the growing branches, on the other
hand, it becomes by the succeeding season
bloomer. And this, too, can be done east
ly-that is, without the use of a sash, or
hot-bed, usually adopted with the cutting.
In laying down toke sharp knife, and slit
the part OF the branch that enters the
ground, from one joint to another, then
cover with two inches of soil, press rather
firmly, and fasten with forked stick. Not
only roses, but almost every kind of shrub
can be thus propagated. And the person
who, after the simple words we here use.
cannot do this, deserves to go without flow
ering shrubs all the days of his ife.-Ger-

ness. The same causes that make these
few men exceptionally successful would
make all equally so.
What the American farmer mostly needs
is more knowledge; a closer study of the
peculiarites of his soils, their needs and
adaptation to special crops; better knowl-
edge OF the constituents of the different
nanures, and especially knowledge of
how to make, save and apply larger guam
tity of better quality OF barnyard manure.
1t is not at all necessary that this knowl-
edge should be obtained from books prac-
tical experience and close observation of
the results of other peoples experience, are
of the greatest utility, and books are useful
only as they contain the recorded results of
the experience of people whom we have
never seen and cannot reach, as such should
not be despised. We are glad of the multi
plication of good agricultural papers and OF
experiment stations,....and Of the establish
ment in so many States of farmers insti-
tntes. We hail any and all means that
shall spread practical scientific information
among farmers, that shall teach them to

AN industry that we believe will in time
prove highly profitable in Montana, is the
manufacture OF oat meal. Our oats grown
here is larger and heavier grain, and in tact
in every way superior to the oats raised in
ONO and other Middle States where large
quantities OF Oat meal is manufactured.
Since we have free water power the machin-
cry for manufacturing oat meal can be OPP
Grated quite as cheaply here as anywhere,
and since we grow superior quality of
oats, all that is needed to make this a great
industry is the Introduction of the proper
machinery. Many thousand pounds of our
oats would find market in meal if machin-
cry tor its manufacture was in operation.

Cottage Cheese.-Take fresh clabber; pour
warm water over it and STIR let stand about
ten minutes; empty into thin muslin sack;
hang in cool place and let drain six hours.
Mix with sweet cream; add pepper and salt.
| White Cake.-One cupful of fine white
sugar and scant half cupful of butter,
beaten together twenty minutes; add whites
OF two eggs, and beat ten minutes. One
and half cupfuls of -four, sifted with one
large teaspoonful of baking powder; flavor
one small drop of oil of lemon; add half a
cupful of sweet milk and stir for fifteen
minutes. Bake in an evenly heated, rather
slow oven. This is good if made with less
beating, but is much more delicate and
finer grained if from thirty to forty minutes
is consumed in making it.
Breakfast RoIIs.-Sweet or new milk, two
cups; sugar one cup salt, one teaspoon
ful; compressed patent yeast, one cake;
flour to make stiff batter; two eggs; but
ter, four ounces. Set the yeast melted in
the warm milk, sugar and salt to raise in
the flour over night. In the morning cream
the butter before the fire, and with a tea
spoonful of soda add to the batter, which
corrects any acidity. Add the eggs well
frothed and more flour to make soft dough.
Shape into rolls, and set to raise in buttered
tins till well sponged; bake quickly. Some
cooks wash them over with milk and scatter
salt crystals and fennel. on the top of each.
Hints for Cooking Msat8.-ln roasting
meat have the pan hot when you put the
meat in it. If it is beef put it in the hot pan
and let it stand tor a moment and then turn
it over, thus soaring both sides and prevent
ing the juice from running so quickly. Do
not put the salt and pepper on the meat,
but put in the pan with the water. and then
baste the meat every three or tour minutes.
You will find the meat to be thoroughly
seasoned and will be much more juicy and
tender than by the old way of rubbing the
salt on the meat; putting the salt on the
meat draws the juice out and toughens it,
Roast fowl in the same way; also fish not
putting any butter or grease near them un-
til almost done; then rub a little butter
over them to give them nice crisp outside.

LAYERING SHRUBS.

1t is often a matter of surprise to US to
see that so few persons, especially those re-
siding in the country at distance from
nurseries, undertake to increase their stock
of shrubbery by layering the branches.
Almost every variety of shrub can be thus
multiplied. Even with those who practice
this method, the queen of flowers, the Rose,
can thus be treated and increased to any
desirable extent, though it is seldom pur-
sued. 1t is usually propagated by sticking
cuttings from the new wood of the same
