Oatmeal as a Food.

Many of the keepers OF big

large extent to which oatmeal Is
used as an article OF diet. In
thousands of families plate or a
bowl of oatmeal porridge, which
ought to be of the best quality,
we'll boiled, and taken With cream,
is the first thing at breakfast
The children are apt to be very
fond OF it. 1t is wholesome, nutri-
tiOus and advantageous to the
digestion. 1t is surprising that
more people do not learn how to
prepare for the breakfast table

most excellent biscuits which one
finds in all households Ia Scotland.
and which ought to be eaten with
fresh milk. They are easily made,
worth making, possess most of the
merits of pOrridge, and are a de-
sirable change from it at times
The Scotch arc also large con.

make into bannocks or brose, good
for hungry people and racy to the
taste. When the wheat crop is
short and -four is dear, both oat-
meal and peasemeal might be used

families than have ever tried them.

Diseases Among Chickens.

Fowls are subject to many dis
eases when confined in restricted
quarters in towns that do not ap.
pear where unlimited liberty is en-.
ioyed on a farm. When fowls are
slightly ailing, but still eat aud
drink, there is hope for them, as
remedies can be administered in
food and water, but when they be-
come so bad they can only be
dOctored by force, unless in the
case of unusually valuable ones,
the best thing to do is to kill them
and remove them from the Others
For keeping fowls in good health
in small runs their quarters should
be kept clean and be occasionally
disinfected, and particularly should
they be kept free from vermin. An
alling flock should at once be ex-
amined for chicken lice, which
constitute a fruitful source of dis
ease. When chickens are infested
with them, although they may eat
well they will not improve, but
will lose in tone and condition and
so become easy subjects for dis
eases. Fowls affected in that way
should be creased about the neck
and under the wings and along the
back, or insect powder may b'
busted into the feathers. The
quarters, after being cleaned
should be sprayed with kerosene
oil. Let them out for a run before
going to roost when it can be done
Give a tablespoonful of the Doug
las mixture daily ia their drinking
water while the disease is on TN
premises, afterwards give to vel
fowls two or three times a week.

FACTS ABOUT SOILS.

The soil is a compound substance
of mineral, vegetable and animal
particles that form the upper
stratum of the earth's surface. In
selecting the site for farm there
are many things to be considered
in addition to the character OF the
soil. Among these is the impor'
tant O ne of location with regard to
market facilities, health, good
neighborhOod and prospective rise
in valuc. Soils admit Of many
classi6catiOns, arising from their
different constituents. Rocks are
the original basis of soils, having
by the long continued agency Of
the forces of nature, by air, mois
ture, frost and heat, been resolved
into minute particles, taking on
the form Of earth. Soils are call
ed stony, gravelly, clayey, peaty,
ETC., according as the Substance 6
named constitute leading feature
in the compo und. A loan is a soil
chiefly comp Osed OF sllicious sand,
clay and other mineral substances
along with a large percentage Of
decayed vegetable and animal
matter, to which it principally owes
its fertility. The pulverulen,
brown substance formed by the
action of air on solid animal or
vegetable constituent of soils. 1t
renders stiff soils friable, absorbs
and retains moisture, and in a
large degree supplies the mineral
elements of decayed matter 10
soluble forms for plant growth.
The capacity of a sandy loan fol
retaining moisture depends on the
amount of decayed vegetable
matter which it contains and with
out which it will be infertile.-
Sandy and clay soils requires diff
ierent treatment. Each will be
benefited by an admixture with
the other, but the union of pure
sand and clay alone will be sterile
unless supplied with decomposed
vegetable matter. Under draining
is highly beneficial to clay soils. A
sandy loan is easily worked and is
among the most desirable OF all the
soils.
