FONTS FOR PoULTRYMES.-Pro-
vide lime for poultry by feeding ground
oyster shells.
Raise cabbage for them. Onions are
excellent also.
Make a neat box 13x14 inches, out
side measure, with water-tight, slop
ing roof. In addition make a small
run OF cell-laths the height and width
of the brooding box, and about two
feet In length, for use two or three
lays after the hen has been put on the
nest Remove her at dusk to this box,
close it in front, keep her confined un-
til near sundown next day, and tten
place the run in front of the box with
a brace at the rear end to prevent its
removal, in case she strives hard to get
out. Put feed and water SO that she
can get either, and leave her at once.
AS night approaches she will return to
the nest; the next morning she will be
ready to receive the eggs.

1T certainly does not pay to keep a
low grade of sheep and then let them
take care of themselves. The small
amount OF wool secured, as well as the
poor quality, is such that no margin OF
profit will be left TO the farmer over and
above the cost. Even with poor sheep
a much better growth OF wool can be
secured if they be reasonably well cared
for than If they be left to themselves.

FARM NOTES


1T has been demonstrated that the
farmer can produce animals for market
preponderating IN lean or fat, as pre-
ferred, and the demand Is increasing
for carcasses that excel in lean 1t has
also been accepted that the best car
cases should also contain fair pro-
PORTION of far. The whole matter
depends on the cost of production, and
in considering the cost not only the
food allowed to the animals but the
ultimate effects on the soil enter into
the questions OF proEt or loss, The
main point. after all, is the amount OF
fertility removed from the soil, for
when the soil shall begin to deteriorate
in fertility the wealth of the farm will
be pasSing away. Choice lean meat
sells at a higher price in market be-
cause It is of better quality for the
table; but whether the difference in
price between fat and lean meat Will
compensate for the difference in the
elements required for their production
depends on the mode OF producing the
meat and the manner of procuring
the food. 1t is possible to buy the
greater portion of the food and convert
it into beef or pork, securing the
manure, and thereby realize fair pro-
fit; but the same may be done IN pro-
ducing animals that preponderate In
fat. SO far as procuring the meterlals
from the soil is concerned it may be
stated that fat really costs nothing,
though there is an expense incurred in
securing il thrugh the labor employed.
Fat is derived from the food produced
by plants, and plants during growth
derive their fat (carbOnl from the car
bonic acid and gas of the atmosphere

be applied to growing plants by way or
