pers up. Fortunately the immigrant
ducks are arriving earlier than usual, and
the first storm will bring them in large

lakes they have rented, and are ready for
business.

KEEPING EGGS.

A great many plans are given for
keeping eggs, but the safest mode is
Arrays turn the eggs. If they are
turned three times a week, and kept
in a cool place, no packing material
will be necessary at all. The reason
they should be turned is that when
an egg remains in a certain position
for any length Of time the yolk APP
prOaches and adheres to the shell.
1t is not necessary to turn each egg
separately, but to pack them in a
box and turn the box. They may
be packed in a barrel, and the bar
rel turned half round, with the same
results. To keep eggs without going
to the necessity of making any kind
of composition use fine, clean, dry
dirt or ashes, either from wood or
coal, but they must be fine. In a
box or barrel first lay down a layer
of the dirt or ashes, then a layer Of
eggs, are being taken that the eggs
do not touch each other. Fill the
spaces between the eggs with dirt or
ashes, and then put or a layer of dirt
or ashes an inch thick. Repeat the
process until the box or barrel is
full, and before closing be sure every
thing is packed in a tight and close
manner, so that the contents will
not shake when the top is put on.
Turn daily if preferred, but twice a
week at least. Be sure and use, non
but perfectly fresh eggs. No other
kind will keep, no matter how well
they may be packed. You cannot
get fresh eggs by purchase, even
from your neighbor, for he will some
times be unaware of the presence Of
those that might be stale. A single
bad egg will sometimes spoilall. You
will have to keep your own hens in
order to succeed in preserving eggs.
The eggs from hens not in company
with males will keep twice as long
as those from hens running with the
males.-Pouttry Keeper.

All hid where the rainbow touches earth.

EVEN FLOW OF MILK.

To make profit out of the cows
there should be an even flow of milk.
This is obtained by good manage
ment and requires something more
than feed. The feed should be uni
form and the pastures should be
managed to make it so. A fresh
bite stimulates the appetite and the
more a COW eats of good food the
more milk she is capable of secret
ing. change of pasture every week
is a good plan. This will prevent
ups and downs in the amount
OF food. These extremes dry the
cows up, and so does fast driving, as
it causes excessive heat in the glands
and udder, and then excitement of
any kind is bad. An excited state
always reduces the milk flow. Slow
milking and dallying is an injury.
The COW is sensitive than
many suppose to all these considera-
tons, and prudent and successful
dairymen don't fool with their COWS,
but do the very best they know how.

The gualtry gard.
EARLY TREATMENT OF INCU-
BATOR CHICKS.

The egg in course Of incubation
undergoes a chemical change, in
which the chick is formed by a pro-
cess of absorption. This requires Fl
days in the she'll and SO hours after
the shell is broken. Many say that
~artificially Matched chicks do not do
as we'll as others. / admit that on
account of the treatment they re-
ceive from the average breeder, they
do not do as well; but that is not
the fault of artificial incubation. @"''
Most breeders are too anxious
about their chicks when they are
due, so open and closed r their ma
chine continually, and just as soon
as a chick is dry they take it out in
the cool room and try to fill it up
with feed; it is then that they do
the damage, as you will see. The
yolk of the egg does not enter the
chick until a few days before it is
due, then it supplies food for the
chick until about 36 hours after it is
Matched. ..as.l .s|.t.
The chemical process through
which the egg is passing is not com
pleted until the yolk is entirely di-
gested; SO when you attempt to
force feed upon the chick previous
to the Both hour, you are simply over
taxing his digestive organs, already
hard at work. This is as injurious
to the chick as it would be to your
self. s.Hs ......
The proper way is, to keep ma
chine closed as much Is possible, and
do not take them out until the Both
hour, or if you have a good brooder
in which you can keep the tempera-
ture the same as machine, and a
slightly moistened atmosphere, you
may let him spend his 36 hours in
that. Do not let him receive the
slightest chill, for, while heat pro-
duces chemical changes, cold just as
certainly checks these changes. .I
IF breeders will observe this one
point, artifcially Matched chicks will
do Just as we'll as others.-American

MEAT BISCUIT.

The following is the method of
making meat biscuits, which will be
found excellent for poultry as a sub
stitute for ground meat. Smaller
quantities may be made as preferred,
but the wholesale method is to kill
a good fat OK, bleed him and skin
him; cut all the meat, fat and lean,
clean off the bones and chop this
meat into small pieces, mixing the
fat and lean we'll together; add to
this mass, clean, raw onions, chop
ped, in the proportion of half a
pound of onions to a pound Of meat;
mix the meat and onions well to-
:gether, and pass the mixture through
a mincing machine similar to a saus-
age machine. Add to this minced
material as much dry wheaton -four
as it will take up with adhesion. Mix
we'll and roll and cut or press into
biscuits of suitable size about half an
inch in thickness. Bake the biscuits,
without burning, in a suitable wire
or other frame work in an ordinary
baking oven. When baked, pack
and seal them in tin canisters hold
ing from ten to thirty pounds each.
These operations succeed each other
as closely and rapidly as the manu-
tacture will permit.-Poultry Keeper.

SALT ON WHEAT LANDS.

| am often asked to inform parties
as to the result Of my experiments
in using salt upon wheat land and !
prefer to answer all at m time
through the medium of your widely
circulated paper. The season OF
1880, when [ sowed at the rate Of
200 pounds to the acre, on land rath-
er below the average of a sixty-acre
field, by careful. measurement of one
acre where the saltTwas sown, and
threshing the grain by itself, found
the yield ten bushels per acre more
than the average of the field, the
average of the whole field being
twenty-four bushels, while the one
acre where the salt was sown, thir-
ty-four bushels, the yield Of wheat
testing one pound more to the bushel
than wheat from any other part of
the field. The result was so favor
able that for the season Of 1881 |
procured a carload Of refuse salt
from f. S. Fitch, Bay City, Mich, at
a cost of about So per ton, and
spread it at the rate of 200 pounds
per acre over sixty acres, only reser
wing about n acre on which to
experiment with different quantities.
To make a more practical test | had
measured off six pieces Of ground
two rods wide and five rods long,
with stakes carefully driven at each
corner. Piece No. l, where the salt
was sown last year, was left without
salt. Piece No. 2, salt at the rate
of 100 pounds per acre was sown;
piece No. 3, 200 pounds; piece No. 4,
800 pounds; piece No.5, 400 pounds
and piece No. 6, no salt either year.
The different pieces were watched
with much interest, acknowledgements
could be detected at any time. Each
piece was carefully cut and threshed
by itself, each lot put in a separate
sack and carefully weighed, with
the following result:
Piece No. l, salt in 1880, but l one in
1881, produced 20 pounds.
Piece No. 2, salt at the rate OF 100
POUNDS per acre produced "A pounds.
Piece No. 3, salt at the rate of 200
pounds per acre produced 80 pounds.
Piece No. 4, salt at the rate of 800
pounds per acre produced y pounds.
Piece No. 5, salt at the rate of 400
pounds per acre produced 65 pounds.
Piece No. 6, no salt either year, pro-
duced 4S pounds.
The average yield ofthe five pie 'es
when salt was mixed with the soil
either year was eighteen bushels
and forty pounds per acre, while the
piece on which there was no salt
produced only at the rate of twelve
bushels and forty eight pounds per
acre.
The average yield of the sixty
acres was seventeen bushels Per
much larger yield than was
produced on the same kind OF soil
anywhere in the vicinity. On one
square rod which / sowed at the
rate Of 800 pounds to the acre, wheat
grew equally as well, which proves

SO far convinces me that there is

INGENIOUS people have perfected many
devices to keep the Anarchist OF the air
at distance. He is greeted everywhere
by nets, fans, traps, poison and fire. A
new contriyance for the exegiences of the
coming season is fan operated by the
foot. Il is named the pedal fan and cons
sists of an upright metal cylinder within
which is an iron rod. There is lever at
the base connected with a pedal and
another above joined TO the fan. The
motion of operating this will come nat
urally to women accustomed to the piano
and the sewing machine, and men will
easily acquire it. To manipulate an or
binary fan energetically is not, although
it may seem, cooling process. In addi-
ton, one cannot write or do much else.
BY shifting the duty to the feet sedentary
persons may carry on their work, feel the
breezes play about them, and devote their
thoughts to the interests of humanity free
from the warping influence which an I'M.
tired insect may exert over the cheeriesi
view of life
