A FARM.

There is a poultry farm Of 5000
plymouth Rocks, at Lancaster, Mass.
Mr.. Hawkins, it's owner, calculates
to have about 5000 fowls every fall,
and carries over $500 laying hens
through the winter. His farm con-
talns twenty-five acres, and his poul-
try buildings occupy an acre and a
half. These comprise six or seven
sheds, 200 feet in length. Each shed
Is divided into apartments of twelve
to twenty feet, and about twenty
i've hens are kept in each division.
A yard is made in front of each
apartment. Mr.. III. believes that if
confined poultry have their wants
attended to they will do as we'll as if
allowed free range. He bases this
belief upon several actual tests. In
Matching times he sets 200 hens on
one day, and puts 500 eggs in an in
cubator which is due to hatch on the
same day, the chickens from which
will be distributed among 200 hens.
His sales o ffowls and eggs for hatch
ing at fancy prices are large, about
80 per cent being profit. He also
has a standing order, for sixty to
ninety dozen Of eggs daily, for which
he gets the highest market prices.
Mr.. Hawkins began, at the age Of
twenty-one, with 100 hens, and by
careful management and economy
his business has enlarged so that, at
the age of twenty-nine, he has a very
handsome income. The poultry ma
nure is quite an item he sold last
year five hundred barrels at $3.50
per barrel.
This is a big chicken farm and
a big man its owner, n of the larg-
est and most successful poultry rails
ers in the country. There is no rea-
son to doubt but that our climate
$50 far superior to that Of Mass.) is
far more productive to the poultry
interest. All we want is to wake up
our people, let us have poultry clubs
and next year we will have the best
poultry show ever held in this State.

IUDICIOUS CROSSING.

Those who keep fowls make a point of
changing roosters annually by trading
with a neighbor. Very often two neigh
bors will change with each other for sew
eral seasons, the result being that as far
as the focks are concerned they are the
same, yet the two friends will quietly
continue the practide under the suppo-
sition that they nave infused new blood
this mode of changing is better than
none, but the benefits gained are very
few. 1t should be the aim to improve a
flock by changing roosters. If no i'm
provement is made the value of Eens as
producers cannot be materially increased.
By judicious crossing it is very easy to
bring up the standard of production and
secure large profits. Before beginning
to cross the first thing to consider is the
climate. If it is cold, the object should
be to cross with breeds that lessen the
liability of injuring the flock by severe
weather. If the hens are small, size
should be increased in the offspring.
Hence, by using a Brahma cock the chicks
from the cross will possess small combs,
heavy feathering and large size when
matured. These half-bred Brahma chicks
will possess the hardness of both parents
and should produce well in eggs. The
next season a Brahma rooster may again
be used with advantage. The flock will
then be uniform in color, markings and
general characteristics. 1t should be re-
membered that we nave advised against
the use of any but pure bred males, and
the farmershould not be tempted to keep
any of the cockerels produced by cross
ing for breeding purposes. Sell or eat
them. and do not allow ~ to remain on
the place. After having brought the
flock up to a three-quarter grade, some
other cross may be made. But in so do
inc. the farmer must take into consider
alton that as he has produced a flock OF
hens with small combs and heavy feath-
ering. he must not destroy those charac-
teristics. The Leghorn will give earlier
maturity, but they have large combs. He
may use the rose-comb Leghorns, but
once in five years is often enough forthe
infusion of Leghorn blood. The Wyan-
dotte is an excellent cross to follow that
of the Leghorn, and the Brahma should

A CARRIAGE DRAWN BY SHEEP.

Almost every American in Paris
who has ridden out toward the Bots
has seen the old man in the little
carriage drawn by sheep pattering
along in the Avenue du Bots de
Boulogne. These sheep are two fat
South Downs, but the occupant is a
cripple named DR.. De Reroy. He
has been by turns a soldier, a trav-
e'er, a politician, a journalist and a
man of letters. A nephew of the
Able Lammenais, he was for a while
private secretary of Lamartine, also
an intimate friend of the Marquis
of Hartford, at whose place in the
Bots he frequently met Prince Napo-
leon. During the war he volun-
teered to carry important dispatches
out of Paris for the Government ofthe
Defense Rationale. He started alone
in a balloon, which was caught in a
hurricane, carried into Switzerland,
and came down in the midst of the
Mer de glacier, where his legs were
so frost-bitten that they had to be
amputated. Besides his legs, he lost
his fortune by the war.

INDUSTRIES.

Northern capital has done much
in the last few years to develop the
industries and resources Of the new
South. Especially is this the case
in the manufacture of certain lines
of coarse cotton goods. The scarcity
Of skilled labor, however, has pre-
vented the manufacture of the finer
grades Of fabrics such as are pro-
duced by the best Northern mills.
The total spinning industries of the
South are equal to about one-tenth
Of the interests in the North. In
the one case the annual consump-
ton of cotton is about 2O0,OOO bales
per annum, and the other about
1000, 900 bales. The cotton mills,
the blast furnaces and the other new
industries in the South will convert
many an acre now devoted to cot
ton into prosperous truck farms.
With increase of manufacturing pop
ulation, the South will be forced into
a more diversified agriculture.

WEEVILS IN BEANS,

Please say to your readers that to
keep weevils from. all kinds of peas,
beans, and butter-beans, put them in
a vessel and pour boiling water on
them, sufficient to cover. Shake it
about for about a minute or so, then
pour the water off. The seed will
be very much shriveled, but don't be
alarmed at that. Spread them in
the and let them dry thoroughly
before putting them away; cloth
sacks are as good as any, as they
only need to be kept from mice. [

or four years, and they never failed

POULTRY NOTES.

Light, warmth from the suns
rays, thorough ventilation, and an
interior that can always be kept
dry, are the prime needs for a good
healthy fowl-house.
The situation of the fowl-house
should always be chosen in a dry
place; better still if placed upon ele-
waited ground. 1t should face east
and south if possible, in order to
catch the rays of the morning sun,
and that the flock may enjoy the
sim warmth in the afternoon in win
ter.
-Stagnant or damp soil beneath
the hen-house is bad for poultry.
They cannot be kept healthy in such
a situation. The best soil for the
hennery to occupy is a dry, sandy
or gravelly one. A wet, soggy foun-
dation to the hennery is fatal to the
well-being of the stock confined in
it..
No doubt the hens like the
range of a barn in winter. They car
pick hay seed and clover leaves
much to their advantage. The best
method, however, is to gather up
the dried blossoms, leaves and seeds,
with other chaff, and deposit the
same in the poultry house where the
fowls IAN scratch it over at their
leisure.
For feeding young chicks a few
bread crumbs soaked in milk are the
best things for the first two or three
days. Feed only a very small guam
tity. When they get older they may
have a variety of grains and vege-
tables. They cannot swallow large
kernels of corn but they al have
cracked corn or small pop corn.
Millet seed is well adapted to young
chickens.
For we'll grown fowls a feed of
whole corn at the evening meal is
excellent, because it digests so slow
ly that the fowls will have some
thing in their crops all night. The
digestive organs do not slumber, but
keep at their work the whole night
long. In cold weather, especially,
the food in their crop gives strength
and support and power to resist the
cold of the small hours, when if the
crop was empty, the birds would not
be so we'll nOurlShed.

THE STRIDES OF SCIENCE.

One of the marvels promised at
the present day, with good prospect
Of realization, is that the blind shall
see. Already has such partial sue
cess attended the substitution of per-
feet rabbit eyes for imperfect human
ones hat the process of eye grating
seems likely soon to become a prac-
teal reality. But there are many
eyes which DIR. E. Martin, Of Mar
settles, has now discovered may be
readily repaired. In a very large
proportion Of cases blindness proves
to be due to the opacity Of the cor
nea, and when this alone is the
DR.. Martin accomplishes the miracle
of restoring sight by inserting into
the eyeball a gold or platinum tube,
through which artificial cornea the
rays Of light reach the retina.

FOOD FOR SITTING HENS.

Those who have charge of sitting
hens must bear in mind that they
require different food from the bal
ance of the flock that is exercising
freely out of-doors every day. While
the hen is sitting, being quiet and
having but little exercise, but little
food is needed to sustain life, and
that eaten should be rather slow in
digesting. Once every other day is
often enough for a sitting hen to eat,
if fed the proper food. If food quick
ly digested is fed, the hen soon be-
comes hungry and must leave her
nest to satisfy her hunger.
Soft food of any kind should not
be fed. Whole grain is claimed by
most poultry keepers to be the best
food, and in our experience we have
found it so, whole corn. being in our
judgment, the best of all.
1t is thought, too, that from It's
composition it is not so likely to
stimulate the production of eggs,and
hence is better for the hen during
the period of Observation-Disclosures
