Milk for Fowls.-"Fanny Field" makes the
following suggestion to agricultural paper on
chicken raising, &c. Speaking of meat for fowls,
reminds me of man who had atheory that fowls
could be made to lay in cold weather without
me.t. His flock of $50 laying hens has not had
an ounce of meat since bugs went into winter
quarters, but all the same it has q record of an
average of fifty four eggs per day, for the last two
months. The substitute for the meat was milk,
and daily ration of sun flower seed. But few
porltry raisers understand the value of milk for
chickens, and fowls of all kinds. One of the Sc
cres of our remarkable success with hens in cold
weather may be found in the fact that they have
pIelty of warm milk to drink. We are also con-
fd@t that success in raising extra spring
chickens is largely due to the fact that they have
an unlimited supply of milk"

Trading Horses.-We have heard of fel-
low who began trading horses about the first week
in March last, since which time he has accom-
plished little else than the pursuit of his new bus
iness During this period he has made seven ex-
changes; is now in possession of the same horse
with which he began, and has paid in all $50

The Pennsylvania courts have decided that
while you mustn't lie about it directly, it is per-
fectly lawful to keep your mouth shut during a
horse trade, and while you must not warrant an
animal as perfectly sound in wind, and limb, when
he isn't, you not compelled to call attention
to minor defects.

Plank Shad-An epicure says that no better
way was ever devised for cooking shad than to
plank and this is the modus operandt ne de-
scribes: Take we'll seasoned oak or other
hardwood board-for instance barrel head
Bore three small holes in it and with pegs fasten
the dressed shad (having the backbone and head
removed) to the board, skin down. Prop the
board up side ways on the hearth in front OF q
brisk fireplace fire, and as the fish rosts haste il
with melted butter. No other way of cooking
a shad, he says, is equal to this; but you cannot
do it in q cook stove.

SWarmlDg ana How to Manage It.-A
writer says in his apiary he keeps too large tin
pals filled with water near tho door, with q foun-
tain pump hanging over them and if swarm
shows any disposition to leave, or is slow in
clustering when other swarms are expected, it
receives such sprinkling that it soon "hangs it.
self up to dry" With such a pump and plenty
ofwater it is next to impossible for a swarm to
abscond. The implement is also useful to prevent
uniting or clustering of swarms issuing at the
same time. Near the tin pals stand two splint
clothes baskets, lined with cotton cloth, and each
basket is furnished with burlap cover stitched
to one side of it. AS soon as a swarm has clus-
tered 1t is shaken into one of these baskets, the
cover Hoped over, and if another swarm or some
thing else demands immediate attion the basket
and its contents can be set side, to be dis
posed Of at leisure.
After seeing the ease with which bees can be
managed when allowed to swarm naturally, the
energy with which they work, and the excellent
results obtained, the writer is decidedly opposed
to artificial swsrming-and also to queens with
clipped wings. In the first place, when the bees
swarm, the queen has to be found and Gagged.
The bees roam around long time, and some-
times finally cluster. If another swarm comes
out they are certain to unite with it. When the
bees do return they often go piling into the
wrong hive, perhaps hives; and if they do catch
on to the proper one, instead of going in they
often cluster all over its outside. Sometimes,
after the queen has been allowed to run in she
comes out again, then of course the bees will
follow her. In my experience, a swarm having
an unclpped queen can be hived and be at work
in that "whooping," Chipping" go-ahead style,
In just about the same time that it takes swarm
with clipped queen to make up its mind, sullenly
and doggedly, to 60 back home.
