Mr.. II. A. Frazer returned last
week from an extended trip through
the West, as far as California. The
rest and relaxation from business
have been of great benefit to him, and
he has gained in strength and spirits.
His description of the West is enough
to give one the Western fever; espec-
tally of California where the climate
is 50 favorable. Thousands of travel
ers and visitors are on the road, owing
to the cheapness of the rates. 1t takes
money tostart successfully in business
in the West. Everything is carried
on a large scale, and money and ener-
gyseldOm fail to achieve success.

Egg Eaters,

We will not in this article dis
cuss the human family but speak
of the hens themselves, This habit
of egg-eating in the fowls is vice
which when once contracted, it is
almost impossible to break up. Its
beginning may be traced to some
cold day, when you were careless
and did not gather the eggs. Next
morning the hen sits on the frozen
egg as she deposits the new one.
That done, all she has to do is to
turn about and eat yesterdays
product. II relishes finely; SO
well, in fact, that she soon learns to
crack she'll; and then adieu to all
the eggs she may lay afterward,
and to those of her mates, for that
matter, if she can get at them.
Here is the best remedy that we
know of: Kill every old hen that
you find at the business, right
away! Then replace her by a pull
let young and honest.
Procure some artificial eggs;
wooden eggs are the cheapest and
most durable. These will neither
freeze nor spoil. Be sure and
gather all the firsh-laid eggs every
day! Give your fowls meat, well
boiled, bones and all (break the
bones J, season it well, not too much
-. salt, but some, and you will have
no more trouble in this line. Some
recommend filing eggs with
pepper or aloes, but death to the
hen, and more care on your part
in future, will keep You free of the
itrnnhle.

keep the Pot Boiling. 80

If farmers. generally, would fol-
low the city fashion of beginning
their dinners, as a customary thing
with some kind of soup, they would
soon find it healthful as well as
economical. Much meat III odds
and ends is wasted in farm houses,
that might be made INTO good, rich
soup. 1t is the French fashion,
and certainly Il wise one, 10 have Il
pot perpetually on the bac.l OF the
stove or range, into which all The
scraps of meats and Vegetables are
thrown, and sufficient water added,
from time to time. This is kept,
not boiling hard, but simmering,
and the family manage to have a
supply of bouilon tor broth for
their daily use. If farmers would
save their pieces OF veal and beef,
and potatoes, and make use Of
them in the same way, they would
certainly on cold, wintry day,
bless the housewife who kept the
pot boiling. American Agricul-

the workshop. Few take the trout
BILE to think about their work, and
consequently, the great majority
of people fail to get the most and
best use from their tools. The few
who do think, will agree with us
when we say, that a grindstone is
both badly used and badly chosen.
1t is too small, too thick; it is not
evenly and truly set and conferred;
it is not properly speeded, and is
turned either too fast, and made
to throw the water around; or too
slow, and so fails to do it's work
well; it is not well taken care of,
and it is badly used.
A grindstone, to do good service
should be at least three feet in di-
ameter and two and one-half to
three inches in thickness, having a
bevel on each side of the face for
grinding on. 1t should be quite
free from hard spots of iron pyri-
ties, which are injurious to tools,
although these may be taken out
with a sharp-pointed punch. If it
is not conferred truly, it will work
out of shape, and soon require hu-
ing up, 1t should run as fast as
possible, as it does work both bet
ter and more quickly. To prevent
it from throwing water, piece of
bagging should be fastened to a
staple fixed across the frame on
each end but not so close as to grind
it out; this will catch the excess of
water and yet keep the stone wet
enough, and clean it. The stone
should be kept in the shade, and
never in water, which softens ii
and makes one side wear faster
than the other. The water box
should have a hole in it, to let out
the water and keep the stone dry
when not in use. In grinding, il
should mostly turn from the tool
and if used otherwise, great care
should be taken by the one who
holds the tool, not to gouge the
stone.

POULTRY AND FARM.
Breyities.

More depends on management
than on the breed.
Take special care of your fowls
in cold weather.
Animal food for fowls is especi-
ally serviceable in cold weather.
At this time of year study your
stock in every point and make a
judicious mating Of the stock you
intend t. keep for breeding.
No one should keep fowls stived
up in the winter time who is not
willing to help them through the
hard, rough weather kindly and
attentively.
No business in which person
can be engaged whether for pleas
ure or profit, or both, presents such
varied attractions as does the poul-
try business in all its branches.
FFowls to be shown at exhibitions,
should have their heads carefully
washed with tepid water. Their
feet should be treated to the same,
with the addition of soap. This
will add greatly to their appear
ance in the show pen.
One thing that requires special
attention when the fowls are
weather-bound, is the feeding and
watering without getting filth into
their food and water. Have their
utensils so protected that the stock
cannot either step into or roost on
them.
1t should be remembered by all
that fowls confined in small yards
or in the winter when the ground
Is covered with snow, are unable
to procure one essential diet, anC
that is grass. This can in a grear
measure, be supplied by artificial
means. BY steaming, clover hay
is made quite fresh and green, an(
more nearly resembles grass than
any other article which can be
procured in winter.
The French mode OF KILN.
poultry, causing instant death an,
perfect bleeding, is accomplish,
by opening the beak of the fow
and with "a sharp-pointed and mar
row bladed knife make an incisiol
at the back of the roof of tn
mouth, which will divide the ve1
tebra and cause immediate death
after which the fowls are hung u
by the legs until dead They ar
then picked when warm. In thi
way the skin PRESENTS natural ap
pearance.
Feeding fowls in cold weather
matter of more consequence tina
it is usually thought to be, if pre-
perly attended to. The averag
custom is to throw their grain an
scraps among the birds heltel

"Forethought is Better

than afterthought;" there's no
doubt about that. If this article
acts as preventive of thought
lessness on a few important topics
We shall be glad we spoke. In
determining the number of fowls
to be kept through the winter, re-
gard should be had to the number
the person has Accommodations for
during long-continued cold and
storms, when they must be kept
under cover. In fair weather when
fowls can run at large during the
day time, and are in their houses
only at night, large tlocks can be
sheltered in comparatively limited
quarters, and they do not require
any special care in feeding. 1t will
also be seen this cold weather how
important it is to have all contem-
plated new buildings erected early
in the fall months and ready fol-
occupancy Of the fowls while they
are young, and to have the old
houses in proper repair. JUS
think, too, how nice it would be, il
you had that long, open sheC
fronting the south, attached tc
your hennery, which you though
of building, but did not build! L
would afford not only shelter, bu
place for the fowls to exercise
and dast themselves in. Don
forget it next season.
