KeeUIne Fowls in COnanement.

The principal difference between hens in
confinement and flock having the privilege
of a large field or orchard, is not that the
free fowls derive more food, or a greater va
riety, for everything necessary to their COM
fort may be supplied them when they are
shut up in yards. If there is any advantage
in the keeping of the two hocks, it is with
those that are confined, for these are under
the direct watchfulness of the owner, and
have no wants unsupplied. Admitting that
the flock in confinement is supplied with
plenty of food, of varied character, pure
water, warm and dry quarters, and every.
thing necessary to prosperity and production,
1t must be acknowledged that the flock hav.
ing free range, if it receives equal care, or
even partial attention, will give better results
than the other.
Knowing such to be the case, as a rule the
question is, What is the cause? 1t is due to
the fact that when fowls are confined they
are overfed. Being accustomed to have their
food brought to them instead of seeking it,
they have no inducement to exercise. With
them, ii H., wait, and during the period Of
idleness they soon learn TO pull feathers, and
engage in all the vices arising from laziness
and enforced idleness If they are so fed
that they must always seek the food in some
manner by being compelled to work for it,
and not eat all they wish in a few moments,
they would have little time for leisure. All
food should be given in a way to compel the
fowls to scratch for it, for exercise is essen
tial to egg production. 1t matters not how
much space flock may work over for the
hens of some of the large breeds do best on
a small range, provided they are kept busy,
and this should be done, even il no food is
given during the day, by allowing them all
the grain just before they go to roost. Keep
them in full exercise, and avoid getting them
fat unless they are intended for market.

THE OEhEAL UhUF,
wheat, oats, barley and rye
THE uNHARvEsrEp cRops.

Corn is a little backward, and has been
somewhat retarded and stunttd in growth by
drouth and cool weather. The outlook for a
good crop of corn the last Of August was du-
bious, but the warm weather that has pre-
vailed since September first rapidly matured
the growing corn, and with continued favor
able weather and freedom from frost there
will be nearly an average corn crop.
The corn crop in Vermont averages, in
round numbers, 1000, 600 bushels annually.
The condition OF corn as reported from near
ly 100 different sections, as compared to the
average annual crop, is as follows: Three
returns place it at 80, ten at 60, fourteen at
Is, fourteen at so, fifteen at 30, three at %,
and the balance estimate it ct 100. The yield
is estimated to be at least 80 per cent of a
full crop, or about l, $50, 600 bushels.
The potato crop will be partial failure in
some counties on account of drouth, while in
other localities it has been affected by blight
and rust which have struck the growing crop.
In no county is the condition Of potatoes re-
ported as high as 100, while in some counties
it is placed as low as 90. The condition OF
the crop throughout the state will average 80,
indicating total yield Of 1920, l26 bushels.
The potato bugs have done about the usual
amount of damage this year.
The average annual yield of potatoes ia 4,
500, 600 bushels. The condition of the pota
to crop as estimated in ten returns is place
at so, in twelve at so, in sixteen at 10 il
twelve at 80, in sixteen at 30, in ten at 81
and the balance at 100.

Feeding 800 Much Grain to Poultry.

Corn has long held the lead as a special
food for poultry, and on almost every farm,
il the hens are fed at all, il is with corn. II
has served an excellent purpose, however, as
the hens usually have free range, and supply
themselves with those elements which are
lacking in the fat-producing corn, which real
ly does more to keep them in a good flesh
and condition than assisting in egg produc-
ton. II grain is fed-and once day is often
enough If the fowls have the use of the range
it should consist principally of wheat and
oats, with only small proportion of corn.
Laying hens should be fed differently from
those intended for market, as in the one case,
eggs are desired, and in the other, fat or
weight. A COW giving large quantities of
milk does not readily fatten. A similar rule
applies TO the hen a good layer does not fat
ten quickly during the laying period, and a
hen that takes on fat, and eats large quanti-
ties of grain in preference to bulky food, is
not usually good layer.
What farmers should learn is, that hens
ought not to be fed exclusively on grain, else
they will cease to lay. They will keep in bet
ter health, thrive better, and become more
productive when fed some bulky food as
boiled roots, steamed cut clover, short grass,
or even well-cured corn fodder, though a
small proportion of grain, with a little meat
and milk will, of course, complete the ration.
BY regulating the food 30 as to combine the
elements necessary for her purpose, the hen
may be confined without detriment, while the
profits will be much larger than when she is
fed wholly on grain, and especially on corn.

THE HARVESTED CROPS.

The season has been favorable to the
growth and maturity of wheat, oats, rye and
barley. The yield is slightly above the aver
age of the seasons since 1880. Considerable
grain was beaten down and lodged by wind
and rain storms in some sections. Hail
storms also seriously damaged the growing
crops in other localities, inhicting q loss to
Chittenden and Franklin county farmers of
5000
The principal cereal crop raised in the state
is oats. The yield this year is estimated to
be per cent above the average, or about
1925 900 bushelJ. The average yield of
wheat is $50 900. This year the crop is re-
ported to be per cent above the average
yield, or 3G7, 500 bushels. The barley crop
is reported to be 10 per cent above the aver
age and the crop OF 1886 is set at 3l6, $50
bushels. Rye is about an average crop and
the yield is estimated at 81, 800 bushels.
The grain crop has been nearly all harvest
ed and an approximate estimate can be made
of the yield of wheat, oats, barley and rye
the present season. Below will be found an
estimate by counties as made up from the re-
turns rectiv ed from every section of the state ::

An English paper says "Unless there is
some alteration in the value of produce, farms
will be extensively given up. Leaving the
rent question out of consideration, it seems
TO be impossible to pillow and SOW the hill
farms with a profitable result.
Except for the question of rent, we might
have supposed this written for New England.
It appears that we are not in the only part of
the world where there is talk Of abandoning
farms. And yet statistics show that the prod
uots of New England farms are greater than
they were 40 years ago, or, with an equally
favorable season, at any previous time.
