Fowls should be given the fullest
possible range IN summer to insure
health. Birds naturally require large
amount of air, and are constantly alert
an d in motion. This is especially true
of granivorous birds. to which class
farmyard fowls belong. Therefore let
the fowls roost out of doors in summee.

the winter quarters and they viii again
take kindly to them when the proper
season arrives.-M r Tribune.
Delicious fritters may have stale
bread for the foundation. If care ia
taken in removing any or all of the
crust that is dark brown, the fritters
will be light colored and very inviting
in appearance. Eggs are a good addi-
ton in the proportion. of four eggs to
one quart of sweet milk; a tablespoonful
of salt and four or five slices of bread
are also required. The bread should
lie soaking in the milk for two hours.

Few farmers seem to understand
the value of stanchions in feeding
calves. They can be made very cheaplV
out of any old boards lying around the
farm, and save a world of time. Give
each calf twenty inches space. Put a
trough in front, spaced off so that each
calf gets his share and no more. They
will soon learn to have their heads ia
position at feeding time and you can
fasten and feed a dozen in few
minutes. After they are done with the
milk, give little ground feed or corn
and turn the whole lot into a gard
where you have some nice hay in
rack.-DetrOn Post.
