If you notice fowl dropping, or
standing off by itself "all drawn up
in bunch" watch itclosely. If you
can see no indications Of cholera, if
it eats when food is thrown toward
it, but quickly resumes it's pncouth
position, examine it carefully to see
if it is not infested with Yermin.
Several kinds of lice give trouble in
the poultry house, but those very
small ones scarcely describe to the
naked eye are the worst. Exam
inc carefully under the wings, and
in the fluff of the bird. If you find
you will not be able to get rid of
them without "doctoring" the whole
fock and the premises they occupy.
B. n. Pierce, of the FancIer's Ca
zette, recommends this treatment:
"Pour one drachm OF carbolic acid
into q pan containing one pound OF
powdered sulphur, stirring the mix
ture with a stick. Dust this mix
ture among the wings, and into the
fluff, hackle and saddle feathers.
For. administering this medicine
the writer uses a baking powder

and to make sure assurance doubly

should have been large. There was
no gilt-edgs pedigree hanging over
her. No royal blood running in
her veins. Her ancestors for a doz
en- generations had been scrubs, and
she was surely the scrubbiest of the
lot. Dogs barked at her, negro
boys threw sticks at her, the Jersey
heifer on the corner turned up her
nose in scorn, and yet the old scrub
marched patiently on through the
mud to the home gate. She had
been out all day trying to manufac-
ture the family supply of milk from
bitter weed, chips and mud. She
reached her head over the fence and
called patiently for the mixer.
And the mixer appeared on the
scene. Was it the soft and gentle
milk maid with Immaculate dress
and slippers, with q ribbon in her
hair and smils on her lips. Did
she pet the old COW and call her
good Bess," and give her some
thing to eat while she MIXED!
Not to any extent. A great brute
of Enegro came down to the gate.
He kicked the old COW as she ran
in:past him. lie. MIXED her with
great cruel pulls and jerks. Once
when she stopped to startle the
flies away from her, he got up and
kicked her. When he had MIXED
her, evidently thinking that some
return WAS in order, he secured a
club and dubbed her cut of tho
yard.
What did the old scrub do? Run
away and not come bBck again? If
there is any human being who
would have gone back, he is I'M
worthy of his race. The old COW
walked leisurely down the street to
hunt about to feed, and return in
the morning to meet exactly the
same reception. The world can
hardly show truer devotion. We
sing the praises of the worlds he
roes and her0ines. Their names
will live long in song and story.

been praised let US not forget to

Good Stock for Small Farms

Good stock is of really more i'm
portance to the small farmer than
to the large one. A man with con
tracted farm limits, must condense
into as small "a compass as
possible his live stock products, he
can only care for and grow q few
head of stock, .but these should
make up to him quality and value,
the values Of the stock of larger
farmers in quantity. Unless he
strives for this end, loss instead of
profit will overtakc him. A COW
that will produce a calf worth 500
at weaving time, is far better for
his farm than the handling of
three or four COWS, the aggregated
value of whose produce would not
equal that sum at the same age.
a mare that will bring him a colt,
worth at four years of age 5000, is
far better for him to handle than
the raising of three common scrub
colts, for which he cannot reasOna-
bly, expect more than for the one of
good blood; 50 too in all other live

Horses can be readily taught to
eat sugar. 1t is said TO be good for
them, giving them glossy coat OF
hair and enabling them to shed
their old coats readily. 1t is as
good for for this purpose as oil meal,
and certainly much more palatable.
There is an advantage in teaching
horses to eat sugar, as they are so
fond of it that feeding them makes
the animals more gentle and kind.
Arabian horses are invariably fed
sugar by their masters, and the do
cility of the Arabian cOurser is well
known.

No agricultural product is now in
greater demand, and none is appre-
ciating more steadily in price, than
hay. There has not for several
years been such a scarcity of hay at
the opening of spring as now, and
in a season, too, when it is certain
to be needed until a late date.
Many farmers are almost through
the supplies, and are also short in
all other kinds of rough feed, as
we'll as grain. The next few weeks
will be marked by degree of aeon
omy in the use of feed of various
kinds quite unusual with many far
mers, but which is at this time alb
solutely necessary. Those who
have hay to spare are to be con-
graduated upon their certainty Of
easy sale and good prices.-Farm.
