Poultry Notes.

STAGNANr or damp soil beneath the
henhouse is bad for poultry. They
cannot be kept healthy in such situa-
| ton. The best soil for the hennery TO
| occupy is a dry, sandy or gravelly one.
A wet, soggy foundation to the hennery
is fatal to the well being OF the stock
confined in it.
THE situation for the towlhouse
should always be chosen in dry
place; better still if placed upon ele-
waited ground. 1t should face east and
south if possible, in order to catch the
rays OF the morning sun, and that the
flock may enjoy thesun warmth in the
afternoon in winter.
No doubt the hens like the range of
a barn IN winter. They can pick hay
seed and clover much to their advant-
age. The best method, however is to
gather up the dried blossoms, leaves
and seeds, with other chaff, and de-
post the same in the poultry-house
where the fowls can scratch it over at
their leisure.
VARIETY in food is an indispensable
requisite OF success. Fowls may be
made to live when fed upon any single
article OF diet, but profits under such
circumstances are not to be expected
Variety in diet promotes health, and
health secures the activity of the re-
productive organs. Fresh water is IN
dispensable. Foul water leads to dis
ease.
Fowls should never be allowed to
enter barns or stables. as they will
toul more hay and feed than their eggs
are worth. Their domains should be
entirely separated from thoseof horses
ndcattle. Not only are vernin from
poultry sometimes communicated to
horses stabbed in their neigisborhood,
butthes specially filthy and offensive ex-
ctements OF the fowls defites tue hay
and grains.

How to Preserve Cider.

The Turf, Field and Fireside recon-.
mends the following scientific method
of treating cider to preserve its sweet
ness. When the saccharine matters
by fermentation are being converted
into alcohol, if bent tube be inserted
alright into the bung, with the other
end into pail of water. to allow the
carbonic acid gas evolved to pass of
without admitting any air into the
barrel, q beverage will be obtained
that is fit nectar for the gods. A
handy way is to fill your cask nearly
up to the wooden faucet when the cask
is rolled 80 the bung is down. Get a
common rubber tube and slip it over
the end OF the plug in the faucet, with
the other end in the pail. After the
water ceases to bubble bottle OF

H MOVERS"
BY GAY DAVIDSON.

Can We find a lodging, sir, with you this bitter
night?
For its Colder, and a snowin' there's no other
We're a moyin' east, ard-slowly-b it's little
can do;
We won't be much OF bother, for OF Us there's
only two.
Just my wife and I. sir and she amt been very
stout

Back to old Indiana from our cabin IN the
West

the rest.
leu see we wen. to Kansas and settled Onsome
startin' out right pertly, a-workin' hand in
hand;
The skies looked rosy then, sir, and We couldn't
And Mary seemed SO happy, while Twas glad and
proud,
Especially when, one morning, Just at the break
Of day,
Our little Lola came to US, like flower pure in
May.
Then toll and care seemed nothing and weloved
each other more
We planned and plotted lovingly, TIL shadow
crossed our door
Our baby girl took sckly. and in spite Of
human skill
She lett Us, and her vacant chair that no other
child could fill.
Then misfortune poured upon Us, and our crops
were pretty bad,
And then a sleepin' note aWoke and swallowed
all We had.
Soon Mary lost the roses from her cheeks once
plump and round,
And began to look so ghostly; then cough with
its hollow sound
Came on to scare me dreadful, and | lowed to
bring her back
To the home for which she's a-dyin'-and now
I'm on that track.
SIZE says she's awful homesick-( she's a failin'
day by day.,
And wants to keep movin', and hurryin' on
hope she'll brighten up bit, and get a good
She's coughin' badly now, sir; it's that trouble
in her breast.
"she'll be better in the morning, and I think
She'd be at home and happy ere the close of an
other day.
We won't get home in day, sir, nor a week, at
But don't let on to worry her; it wouldn't do,
you know"
They called the mover" early from his feathery
"spare-room' bed,
And led him to her chamber, and not a word
was said.
Only they stood there weeping and those lips so
still and white
Could give them back no answer-they had closed
in death last night.
'aShe'd be better in the morning" and eager to
be away
On her journey homeward pushing hoping to
reach next day.
She's better, sir, this morning, for her longing
soul has flown
To "the home for which she was dying'-to
meet her Lola at the throne.

An Author and His Critics at Nancy.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

From the Fan Mall GazeUueI
A curious occurrence took place at
Nancy few days ago during the per
Torrance of a new piece at the prlncl-
pal theater of that town. The first
act was just terminated, to the almost
unanimous satisfaction Of the spec
tators, when one OF the audience made
himself very conspicuous by standing
upon his chair and hooting, whereupon
the author OF the piece was seen to
rush frantically at him, and, unless
the other spectators had intertered,
would probably have done him serl-
GUS damage. Unfortunately for the
too impetuous author, the victim OF
his aggression was a student at the
Lycee of Nancy. The next evening,
accordingly, the whole OF the school
invaded the theater. The author,
who it was discovered was present,
was dragged out, severely beaten, and
the piece was not allowed TO be pro.

apologized for the conduct of the I'M

Feeding Coarse Grain.

1t is more profitable in the long run
everywhere to feed all the coarse grain
grown on the farm than to sell IT..
More ready money is, however, secured
by the latter plan, and the necessities
of most farmers oblige them to pursue
the more wasteful policy of exhausting
fertility TIL the soil will no longer pay
for cultivation. When once the ex-
haustive process is begun it becomes
every year more difficult to make g.
change for the better.

LongfelIow as a College Professo

[From the Life OF Longfellow
Passing over the journey during
which he visited France, Italy ind Ger
many, enjoying scenery and society,
and making verses and pen sketches,
and laying in unconscious wealth of
poetic impressions, we find him in 1929
in his chair at Bowdoin College, with
salary of $500 per year and another
500 for his services as librarian.
Anecdotes OF his life there remain, one
or two of which run thus:
A student had incurred the censure
OF the college faculty for some slight
offense against the regulations, and
Mr.. Longfellow was instructed TO cad
monish" him. The professor met the
youth the next day in the library and
was addressed by him with question
upon some point in French literature.
An animated and instructive disqui-
sition followed upon the subject, in
course of which the professor forgot
MS duty and was turning away, when
recollecting himself, he came back
with, "Ah, 1 was near forgetting The
faculty voted, last night, that / should
admonish youfor manning the offense)
and you will consider yourself admon-
ished."
Another anecdoterelatest that in one
OF his French classes a student was
called upon who had evidently made
little or no preparation, and was
prompted by his classmates very aud
IDLY. The professor took no notice
OF this till the young man was seated;
then he quietly said: "Your recitation
reminds me of the Spanish theater,
| where the prompter performs a more
important part than the actor"

The Cost of EnsiIaae.

If you have upward OF three acres OF
large corn, a force of from eight to
twelve men will be required to follow
the power and cutting machine. 1t
will cost from 81 to 50 per ton to put
it into the silo. If small corn ls raised
and put in whole, two men can do the
work in a longer time. This method
is really recognized as being the most
economical as far rs expense OF har-
vesting is concerned; but the yield ls
not much more than half what it might
be with large corn. Suppose we can
nurse the three acres we have so as to
raise 100 tons of corn and have the
cost of putting into the silo $3.50. We
may have in the barn at beginning of
winter twenty COWS. Allow them q
feed of hay at noon, and the ensilage
will give them plenty morning and
night for $50 days. Now to get back
the 81 so we shall have to assess each
COW $3.50 for the $50 days. These
figures allow the COW fifty pounds a
day, and many COWS will not eat fifty
pounds; and we do not always have
to feed $50 days in the winter, and,
besides, it ought not to cost $3.50 to
put in the ensilage.-I'he Stock Farm.
Drainage.
In Col Wilson's address on the sub
| iect of Drainage" before the New
England Farmers Club, reported in
the Massachusetts loughman, hegave
the following instance OF the practical
result of freeing the soil from super
fuous water. There were three fields
side by side. One was not drained at
| all; the second was underdrained to g.
| depth of three feet, and the third was
underdrained to depth OF four feet.
| The field that was drained to the depth
of four feet gave a most beautiful yield
of wheat and the harvest gave q kerr
mel Of good weight. The one that was
drained three feet gave less kernel and
| less weight, but more stalk and straw.
| The one not drained at all made a
variation of from seven to nine bush
| els in favor OF the most thoroughly
and completely drained land. A
meadow which we acquired in some of
our operations in drainage measured
about ten or eleven acres, and was
acquired as an outlet for the drainage
OF twenty-five or thirty acres. Wehad
/ to purchase the eleven acre meadow,
and it was OF very little value, never
yielding anything except coarse grass,
After we drained it the whole showed
immediate Improvement. We under
drained it SO thoroughly that it was
perfectly dry corn land. 1t yielded
eighty-seven bushels OF shelled corn to
the acre the first year it was planted,
and it was cultivated in the same
manner as any other corn, both as to
manure and care.
