Poultry Notes.

y
Give a generous allowance of grain
daily SO as to maintain a steady
growth. Then select as many of the
choice pullets as you may want for
layers, and as many old hens as you
wish for mothers next year, and one
rooster for each lot of hens. then be-
head every other chicken on the place
as fast as you can find sale for dressed
poultry. Dress every fowl before
marketing.
Burn all the old bones and break
them fine. Get oyster shells and burn
them, pulverize, and take raw lime
stone and break as fine as possible,
and put with the bone and shells, and
have convenient where fowls can visit
at pleasure From these they make
the shell.
Feed wheat, oats, buckwheat, barley,
and give ration of sweet milk daily.
From these the whites of eggs are
made. Feed one ration of corn daily
and give any meat scraps from the
house. These last, together with the
grains, contain the oils comprising
the yolk ofthe egg. See that an abund-
ance of fresh water Is always within
r0dCQ OF U06 lOWlS.
When the weather gets severe, feed
everything hot, and warm all water
given them. 1t is we'll to have a small
patch of buckwheat sown near the
hen-house and allowed to fall down,
permitting the hens to scratch for 1T In
the open weather in winter. The exer-
else will be healthful to them. Cook
small potatoes and turnips and feed
frequently, always hot in cold wealth
er. Always bear in mind the more va
riety in feed the better.
Make the walls of the hen-house
tight, and secure ventilation high up In
the gable ends, so that the fowls will
not be exposed to any cold air cur
rents. Provide for light on south side
by glass and sash. Whitewash inside
and out at least twice a year, and
should this fail to keep down the YER
min, shower the roofs and walls with
solution of carbolic acid in proper
ton to one part acid to one hundred
parts water. Have a large, shallow
box in the hen-house filled with road
dust gathered in the FALL A ground
floor is preferred for the hen-house, but
the ground must be we'll drained SO
that any dampness inside the house is
avoided.
Caution is needed that hens may
not become too fat to lay. Should
this happen, feed smaller rations of
corn and other grains, but do not fail
to keep up as much variety as possible
of such feed as is absolutely necessary
oform every part of the egg.-Nation-
al Stocknan.

FARM AND HOME.
NV Little Woman.
BY CLARA BEATRICE CoFFEY.

BY CLARA BEATRlCE COFFEH.
NV little woman is not RICH
Stands not in that strong blaze of glory,
BY fame flung to the lowest niche
She is not praised in song or story,
She wears no costly diadem,
Or medal for some deed heroic;
She does not own single gem:
She is not an angel or a stole.
She never braved the roaring gale
To bring to land some half-drowned sailor
She'll never write deathless tale,
Nor thousands at her death bewail her.
She clamors not for "wonan's rights,
She aims not for the legislature,
She has her little human spites,
And sees her own weak woman'S nature.
She'll never sound the trumpets blast
Or shine a star of any splendor
She's just herself from first TO last,
Willing or willfu, cold or tender.
This is her portrait. Not too good,
OF earth and dew, not superhuman.
For common life, and common food,
My best beloved, my little woman.

leeward Of, all onion. patch. Again,
twelve COWS, in passing to and from
their pasture, were subjected to the
scent OF a dead calf lying twenty rods
from the lane through which they
travelled. The exposure to this
tainted air did not exceed one minute
at each passage, and yet these ami
mails inhaled Infection enoughto make
their milk offensive, and to nearly
spoil, for cheese. making, the milk OF
eighty-fve COWS, with which their milk
| was mixed. When the cause was dis
covered, the complete burial OF the
calf terminated the effect.
In several instances it is known that
cheese was materially injured IN cheese
| factories from the COWS of one OF the
diaries inhaling air scented from dead
calves lying about the barn In g. state
of decay. Foul air is one of the readl-
est modes of communicating milk. liz

| What is taken into the stomach may
be, and often is, to q large extent
neutralized by digestion, but lnfectlon
taken into the lungs is at once, ana
without change; forced into circuia-
ton.
There is no surer way of befouling
milk than by forcing COWS to breathe
the confined air of their stables, sat
urated with the fumes Of their perspir-
alton and excrement. The conse-
quence of breathing such odors is SO
plain that it should not be permitted
for one moment The assumption SO
commonly made that the milk alb
serbs the scent after it is drawn is
doubtless one of the prominent causes.
Dairymen should appreciate the fact
that if they are to have pure-smeliing
and pure favored milk when tier COWS
are in the barn, they must contrive
to keep the odors of the stable from
the nostrils of their COWS, and give
them pure air to breathe. Hurrying
the milk out of the barn may be
good thing to do, but it will not re
move the common cause and frequent
occurrence of stable odors in milk

Too Much to Fat.

A stub-nosed pig IS a chubby one.
1t Is also an inactive animal. 1t is IN
clned too much to fat. 1t has little
growth. It doesn't amount to much.
There is a law that extremities are
balanced or somewhat equalized. A
pig with q longer nose will have long
er body, more range and growth.
Growth is what we want in hogs.
There may be a great deal of satisfac-
tion to some folks to look at pigs por-
traits and admire a short nose and
overgrown cheeks and eyes out Of sight;
but confess like to see a, clean cut
head, with a body indicating some
muscle and expansion. These fash
ionable hogs are helpless things, and
must be fed and waited on like babies.
The form is unnatural. They are poor
breeders. Chunkiness in action and
stupidity are not good qualities for
breeding. The pigs will be few, weak
and small, and the sows makelazy and
Improbable mothers. The short-nose
fancy reached the climax in SuffOlks,
and has about run them out. The
Essex, breeders caught it badly, and so
did the Berkshire breeders, and a dozen
years ago the best specimens of the
most excellent breed were sacrificed to
automatically. The Essex got a bad
setback. as the little roly-poly chunks
were mere babies, and pork makers
found there was no money in them.
Before this day of folly | had a Berk-
shire boar, bred by William Crozier,
which dressed over 600 hundred
pounds. Such Berkshires paid, and
hogs like them will pay.-CoI. Curtis

A GIANT LIFT.
A Threc-StoTy Brick Building, One
Hundred Feet Square, Raised
Six Feet from Its Founda-
tfons. and Not q Crack.

The largest brick building ever raised
In this part of the west has been success
fully lifted six feet in the air without a
crack or a break. This heavy bit of work
Is none other than st, Francis academy,
located at the corner of Seventh street
and Fifth avenue, and the herculean task
was performed by Mr.. w. P. Ayls-
worth, of this city, who has already done
some remarkably skillful work In that
line, but who has now covered himself
all over with glory. The building is a
mammoth one to be thus raised, it being
thrse stories high, and having q
frontage on Fifth avenue Of
100 feet. Will Its frontage ON Seventh
strest is only four feet less.
The filling of the streets made 1t neces-
sary that this great pile of brick should be
raised ak feet-by no means an easy
task, and its progress has been watched
eagerly and anxlously. One of the diff
culties was the fact that the academy
had been built In three sections, the brick
walls not Joining into each other, though
cloEely united. 1t was raised as q whole,
however. and so skillfully has the work
been done that even where the differ ent
parts of the building cana together,
there Is not q crack, while one looks in
vain over the plssteripg, ceilings and
walls for the slightest evidence that this
great structure has been thus lifted ak
eonl e.on1 tta o~to,s,anI for,~loklan
To thus raise such o building, tlmberH
without number, and 900 jacks were re-
qulred, and under the tower especially

hardly leave room for another one. 1t iH

quired to have all these timbers ad justed
perfectly, and each of this army of sore We
turned with a nicely and uniformity
which would result in the quiet, steady
lifting of this mass of brick and mortar,
Sc that there should not be q jar, or the
least crack of even the fragile clustering.
That Mr.. Aylsworthi has accomplished
this Is sufficient proof of his being an
artist in his line.
There Is an L to the building, 22x5e
feet, closely joined to II, but still a sep
srate building. This has been three feet
above the main building, but now its
ioors are three feet below. The change
has been made without hardly any ind.-
cations of it, the buildings being still
close together. 1t Is probable that this
