The tobacco chewing young man
who converts church pews into pig
stys may read with interest how
this specimen of swine was served
in an eastern town recently. The
church had just bought new car
pet and the aforesaid shoat had
ruined considerable area of it
during one evenings service, by
his vile expectations. The mat
ter was duly considered by the
church authorities and at the next
service the pastor read the young
mans name and publicly informed
him that he must choose between
buying new piece of carpet or
standing a lawsuit for damages and
criminal prosecution for INSIDE
meanor. The young man will in
the future, likely modify his appe-
tite or give the church mentioned,
wide berth.

FARM AND POULTRY.
The Location of the Poultry Yard

The proper location Of a poultry |
yard is half the battle in the anna
tours work of pleasurable and
profitable fowl breeding. The
Warmest and most healthy spots
are to be found on the lightest and
driest soils; and if we wish to save
ourselves trouble in caring for and
doctoring our stock, we shall do
well to select such a place for the
site of our buildings and runs,
This is, of course, only applicable
when we have freedom of choice
in the matter, and are not tied
down, as too many are, to the
space Immediately adjacent to our
dwellings.
Fowls in their wild state spend
great part of their time
on the crests of sandy hills
and in the open woods, where the
debris of fallen trees and leaves
make splendid place for wallow-
ing and busting themselves, fol-
lowing the same habit as in their
operations in our artificial dust
baths. No variety of domestic
poultry of the gallinaceous sort is
fond of the application of water or
anything damp to the skin, and
they all avoid moisture as
much as possible under every cir
cumstance.
Realizing this fact, we can see
how bad an influence damp floors,
which keep all the effete matter
which passes from the fowls In a
constant state of fermentation and
exhalation, exert ON the health of
the fowls which are constantly sub
jected to their noxious influence.
We must then, if we would have
good results from our fowls,
either choose, or, if choice is de-
MED us, artifcially create dry floors.
To accomplish this, we must have
tight roofs overhead, that no rain
or melting snow may gain admit
lance and drainage beneath.
When the house has wooden
floor raised above the earth, g
drain made of rough stone can be
run under the house to very good
advantage. This should of course
be blind drain on the uphill side
that it may not serve as a sluice
way for the surface drainage of al
the land above it, but simply fol
the land covered by the house.
If, on the other hand, the house
has an earth floor, drains SHOULD
run ON each side of the house, ant
the earth between be heaped up t.
make a very browning surface
from which everything liquid vii
run off readily. A breeder SHOULD
no more think of keeping his fowl
in place where their feet are we
or constantly damp than he would
of going wet-footed every day be
cause he was too lazy to take thu
common precaution for insurin.

Early Peas-How to Grow them.

There is not much that is new
to be said as to how to get peas
earliest. / know of no royal road.
We can only plant, and cultivate
and wait BY assisting nature at
the start though, we can some
times hurry her up little. 1
have found two ways of doing
this. One is to ridge the ground
in the spring, and the other is to
be worked. The first needs no
further explanation. For the
second place my seed peas in
moist sand, about the last week in
March, and set the box containing
the sand in warm place, until
the peas have formed sprouts
about half an inch long. Then, if
the soil in the garden is not yet
sufficiently dry for planting, l set
the box in the cellar, covering it
with a board if mice are trouble
some, and leave it there until we
can plant. [ have left the sprouted
seeds in this condition for a fort
night without any apparent harm
resulting. When the ground is
dry enough to plant, ] pick the
peas carefully out of the sand,
place them in the drill about two
inches apart, and cover lightly
with fine soil. I have gained as
much as eight days in earliness
by thus starting the seed before
hand, though the difference is
usually not SO much.
The earliness may also be in
creased some by planting in shell
tered location, particularly if it is
one that receives reflected hea
from the sun, as the south side o
a building or high, tight boart
fence.-CoRREsPoNDENT in Ameri

Little wastes of the farm, when
gathered together-they gather

become great leaks, carrying away

A Pennsylvania farmer last year
sold over $4,000 worth of potatoes
from twelve acres. He fertilized
with compost of hardwood ashes
and oyster shell lime, plowed deep;
planted medium sized, well form
ed, uncut potatoes, three feet
apart, gave level cultivation and
cultivated often. From one hill he
took thirty-one fine, large tubers.
Apples and other fruits. says
the Cultivator, should be gathered
and saved, however low the price,
since they are at least worth gath
ering for their feeding value. If
left on the ground they are posi-
lively injurious, the acid of the
fruit poisoning the soil and de-
stroying all vegetation beneath
them. A dressing of lime will
correct this acidity and restore
fertility.
It is muon TO be wished that
every neighborhood of farmers
would institute and maintain a
farmers club for the discussion of
the countless questions which con-
tinually come up relating to their
business in all its branches, stages
and connections. Definite conclu-
sions may not be often reached,
but all find both profit and pleas
ure in the interchange and conflict
of views. The isolated life of the
farmer needs such encounters with
the faces of friends.
