Poultry Hints.

A crooked breast-hOne Is not a nat
ural deformity in any breed, but il
caused by the bird rOOsting on a pole
before the bone IS sufficiently formed
TO bear its weight, or, in other words
by the fowl rOosting too young. A
bird With crooked breast bone will not
transmit it.
Poultry raising, ike any other bust
ness is a trade 10 learn, and if one is
adapted to it, or has a liking for it, he
will succeed. All beginners are ad
vised to start with lew birds, increas-
ing the number as they learn how to
handle them. What everyone wants
is to produce eggs when they bring the
highest prices, and also poultry for
market when it is not plenty. A place
near city is naturally the best, as
one can readily secure customers that
will pay good prices for fresh eggs and
nicely dressed chickens
Both Plymouth Rocks and Wyan-
dottes are hardy breeds. Wyandottes
mature the quickest, because as a rule
they are not as large as Plymouth
Rocks. The latter breed will weigh
more at eight weeks old. We cannot
say which would lay the greater num-
Der OF eggs III a year, as the Wyan-
dOttes have not been tried or bred as
extensively as Plymouth Rocks.
The cause of young chicks getting so
weak in the legs as to hardly be able
to walk is often that they are kept on
a board floor too much. They should
be allowed to 90 on the ground after
being forty eight hours old.
There is no recipe for packing eggs
so as to keep them a year, and have
them like fresh eggs Such a method
would make a fortune for ANYBODY.
There is no rule to feed and care for
hens that are confined to make them
lay the year around. The better care
yOu give them, the better returns.
Chickens Matched in January and
February will moult more or less in
tall and there is no way to prevent it.
There is nothing so fruitful Of disease
and death among young chickens as
damp, unClean quarters. Oltentimes

The potato crop has become one of
Jreat importance TO American far
mers. People decry the potato as be-
ne really OF little value in a nutri-
tlous point Of view, but its consump-
lion Is immense, and on the increase. if
that Is possible. 1t is considered a ne
cesslty by the average housekeeper,
and we conceive of no famine that
would cause so much sorrow as a DO
tato famine, though We could conceive
OF those that would be much more dis
astrous. The product OF potatoes in
this country is well on to two hundred
million bushels some years. Consider
ing that previous to the present cent
ury the common potato was but lit
tie known, the enormous annual crop
which Is now produced Is wonderful.
The reasons Tor its general cultivation
are plain enough. Not only is the de-
mand steady and large, but it will
grow with more or less success in any
soil that Is fit for the production OF
usual crops, and, although it delights
IN a moderate cool climate, it can be
grown In climates that are warmer
than that in which it does best. and
also IN colder. The crop has become
OF such vast Importance that the po-
tato itself and the mode OF culture
have been greatly improved as the re-
suit OF a desire on the part of growers
70 produce the very best results posi-
BILE. OF the numerous varieties now
cultivated many are exceedingly
meritorious, and of the improved
varieties the claim OF best is

The Produ ction of Flax.

A noteworthy feature Of agriculture
IN the West this year is the great in
crease IN the production of flax. The
receipts OF flaxseed in Chicago during
October aggregated ,S75, 900 bushels
OF tfJy-slX pounds each, and in one
week OF the month the receipts OF the
seed exceeded those o: wheat.
For the first three months of the cur
cent crop year, the receipts were near
ly 100000 bushels larger than in
the same months of 1884, and the
shipments were nearly as much in ex-
cess OF those OF the corresponding
time last year. 4 quarter OF million
bushels have already been exported,
and as much more has been ordered
Tor Europe, where the American seed
IS supplanting the crop OF British In
dIa. The immediate cause OF the in
crease IN production is the low price
OF wheat last fall and winter, which
discouraged many farmers as to the
future OF that grain, and induced
them to try the raising OF flax. The
seed brings good prices, and the great
danger Is that the success of the ex-
pertinent will tempt too many farm
ers to 90 into the business next year.
Flax exhausts the soil very rapidly,
and few crops OF it will leave a farm
er with his land badly worn out. 1t
will not be strange if the Western
farmers who try it find themselves in
the end as badly off as their New Ea-
gland brethren, who twenty years
tgo were induced to 90 into tobacco
raising by the high prices which the
crop commanded, and before long dis
covered that their land would not
produce a crop without such a guam
rlty OF fertilizers as made it hard to
raise anything proftabIy.-New York

AIanuring In the Hill.

There are strong objections to ma
nuring corn in the hill urged by prac-
teal men who have tried it in the
same field with an equal amount of
manure distributed broadcast through
the soil. In most cases, however,
these experiments have been tried on
sandy or very poor soil, unable of it
self to make crop, and the small
quantity put on hills was not suffi-
cient help. On toleraoly rich soil in
clined to heaviness a little manure in
the hill gives either corn or potatoes q
better sendoff. With a good stand
early, thorough cultivation will, in
soil fairly rich, develop enough plant
food to make a large crop. In such
cases manuring in the hill, where only
little manure can be applied, is good
policy.

To Grow Forrest Traces

ACOrns, Chestnuts. oilnuts and wal
nuts should be planted where the
trees from them are to grow. II the
ground is covered With a grass sod
cut out a round piece, say two feet in
diameter, dig the earth in the hole,
and then replace the sod, grass side
down. On this place three or four Of
the aCOrns or nuts, cover them with
three or four inches of leaves, and on
the leaves place a large fiat stone, ora
piece OF board, to keep them from the
ravages OF mice or squirrels. Early
next spring, when the nuts cracked by
the frost have begun to sprout, re
move the rock or board, and as the
tree plants appear keep them free
from weeds. The first summer they
should be hoed and mulched, the sec
Ond year thin out to two plants, and
the third year only leave one. In this
way you can have nuts in twelve or
fifteen years after planting, perhaps
earlier. ] am aware that nurserymen
say there is no trouble in transplant
ing oak or nut trees, but | don't be-
lleVe that one out OF ten sold by them
lives.
