Exercise.

1t is to a want of sufficient exer-
else, we confidently think, rather
than to any other one thing, that
can be traced to many of the dis
orders which are. found among
thorough bred fowls and even
more so;4 for they are generally
more delicately organized, owing
to their high breeding and careful
handling for many years.
By all means give plenty of ex-
ercise, especially in the warm
summer months fer-nething SO in
vigoratesa the fowls as a few hours
run, each day, on grass. Or, if
you cannot afford this daily, give
them run every two or three days.
Do not allow them to FIJI up with
corn and water. Use some grain
that is longer in the picking up,
and scatter it where they must
hunt for it. Some breeders cover
the grain with earth and let the
fowls scratch for it. In SO doing
they are kept busy.
Do not neglect the shell materi-
al in the feed. Oyster shells can
be obtained for the asking in many
markets, and a few strokes with
the hammer will reduce them.
Bone dust in the soft feed occa-
sionally adds to the strength of
the frame. Feed a little meat; in
fact little of everything good but
not too much at a time.

England, with view to the for
nation of night classes for instruc-
ton in the elementary principles

others who have just left school.

Overwhelming.

We now stand where we can
look back upon the time when
many fine fowls were ruined by
being crowded far beyond what
their bones and sinue could en-
dure. These were bad days for
the large breeds. To gain the ex-
ira score for excess in weight was
a consideration too tempting to
the ambitious breeder. The
chicks were crowded from the
shell to the show coop. To be
sure it became study how to do
this and not overdo it; and if the
result had always been satisfacto-
ry, poultry matters today would
stand on different basis. The
largest specimens of the Asiatic
breeds are truly grand in their
proportions. Each one appears to
be mountain of strength, fully
equal to the burden of few
pounds of fat, but it is not to be.
Although we may feed to make
bone and sinew in due proportion
to the fat, all working and grow
ing together, yet natures laws are
stronger that mans devices and
the edict, ''thus far shalt thou GO
and no farther" is the bar to all
our hopes.
Not only do these considerations
weigh with regard to chicks bred
for show purposes, but wherever
poultry is kept the same rule must
be followed. Do not overfatten
the stock. Many small breeders
do not have suitable Enclosures
for keeping the fowls and chicks
separate, consequently the fatten.
ing and growing food which is de.
sirable for the chicks to have must
also be the leading diet for the
fowls. Often this causes them te
break down behind, or if not Sc
disastrous, most surely overfatten
ing will decrease the egg supply
One reason why beginners are
often advised to keep Leghorl
fowls, or some other of the small
breeds, is that they are no
easily made overfat. Their rest
less disposition, active habits, ane
great fecundity all act against it
The beginner in this case has ont
thing less to learn the proper
kind and proper quantity of fooc
to be fed to his fowls. Otherwise
hemust learn not to overfatten.

A Tremendous Egg shipmene.

/ have just heard from one of the
largest shipments of eggs that ever
went out of ST Louis. It was during
the last week in Lent that these
eggs were shipped to New York
and the shipment consisted of loo
cars. There were It's barrels in
each car and seventy five dozen
eggs in each barrel, making a total
of %, $4,000 eggs. This food for
Easter had to be in New York on
good Friday. and they were rushed
through by fast freight and arrived
there ION time. The most singular
feature about the shipment was
that when the eggs reached their
destination and were examined by
the censignees, it was discovered
that only about 900 of the whole
lot were broken or one barrel out
of the $50 cars. = New York world

OF the action of clover when
ploughed under as green manure,
a correspondent of the Country
Gentleman" says: "Clover is not
manure, but by its growth, and
especially by its decay, it renders
soluble for plant food, matters
which without its aid might re-
main insoluble, thus indirectly
ameliorating the constitution of
the soil on which it acts. Any
vegetable growth, green or dry,
buried in the earth, alters some of
the inorganic matters with which
it comes in contact In decaying,
and to that extent slowly improves
by increasing solubility. But it
does add something, inasmuch AZ
it provides an assimiliator for
atmospheric nitrogen.

The other day, man i'll New York
City kissed his wife. and she dropped
dead. Now it is more than fair to
suppose that she had heart.disease,
but still there must have been some
cause for her to drop Off so suddenly.
some sudden fright or surprise.
Could it be possible that the surprise
at being kissed by her husband caus-
ed her heart to cease beating? When
we stop to think Of 1t it doesn't seem
50 very strange; there are hundreds
of married men in this country to-day
who havn't kissed their wives in so
long 4 time that the faithful help
mates have entirely forgotten how it

be wrong in this case. Possibly be-

Attend the Fair.

It Is of vital Importance to every
citizen and more particularly to the
farmers. that the county fair is a sue.
cess. Every body with the least conn.,
mon sense knows the benefits to he
derived from good county fair by
each citizen individually and by the
community at large. Our county fair
which will be held on tho 10th inst,
depends on all for helping hand.
Let every one attend the fair and not
fail to bring something to exhibit, no
matter what it is. Bring a few large
cucumbers, tomatoes, vegetable of
any kind, or any thing, to place on
exhibition. Even though you may
not expect to draw premium
on articles furnished, the contribu-
ton will show your interest in the
success of the concern, and a spirit of
enterprise on your part; besides being
an encouragement to the management.
If every one will take an interest the
fair will be success. Advising all to
attend their county fairs Farm,
Stock and Homo illustrates the bene.
cts to be derived as folio VS.: "Let
every famer and everybody else at
tend the fairs this fall. Select the
best specimens of produce onthe farm
and place them on exhibition. In
that event there will be absence of
the remark often heard after an ex.
animation of the exhibits: Il have
better things at home.' When an
extra specimen is seen find out how
it was produced, ask all about Its cul-
tivation. This will bring practical
instruction to each individual visitor.
We all want to know how to raise the
best of everything that's produced on
atarm;we must profit by each others
experience; we ought to become 80
thoroughly posted In knowledge as to
realize the greatest amount of profit
attainable in the various departments
Of labor. These means of informa-
ton can in measure be obtained at
these meetings from year to year. 1t
is the duty of farmers to attend and
support the annual fairs"
