THE POULTRY BUSINESS,
No One Needs Fail in 1t If Diligent, Pune
tual and Enterprsing.


That the hen was specially designed
for the farmer, has always been a pei
theory of mine, and every intelligent
1 poultry-man knows that there is an
abundance of evidence to substantiate
this belief
When we consider that almost every
product of the farm is keenly relished
/ by the fowls, that on the farm they can
obtain a greater and more wholesome
variety of food than in any other place,
and that the barn-yard and the broad
fields atfording ample opportunities for
exercise and insect hunting, are sources
of inestimable pleasure and profit to
the feathered stock, we can not fail to
see how well the farm is adapted to the
wants of the fowl.
Still, among the few farmers who
keep poultry, there is a comparatively
small number who 20 into the business
to any extent, and it is only in excep-
tional cases that they meet with more
than ordinary success.
There are many reasons to which NAV
be attributed the failure of farmers to
succeed with poultry in the past. One
of the principal ones is their adherence
for any thing new. | do not wish to
imply that poultry-keeping is some
thing new by this statement, but
that going into the business on a large
scale is of recent date. Many farmers
think that if business isn't as old as
the constitution, 1T is a little unrelia-
BILE. So they have left it to their more
enterprising city and village brethren
to take the cream of the business and
reap the gilt-edged profits from the
new breeds of high-priced fowls.
Their adherence to the belief that
the "old hardy dunghills" were safer
investments than the new-fanpled
varieties, has been another hindrance
to their progress.
Neglect to feed regularly, leaving the
fowls to roost in apple trees or on the
wood-pile over night, failure to keep a
fresh supply of water on hand at all
times, and adherence to the dung
hill or mongrel varieties, are not cir
favorable to successful
poultry-keeping.
10 succeed with poultry on the farm,
as in all other places, it is necessary
first to erect comfortable quarters;
second, to select sound birds of a pure
strain adapted to your wants, climate
and surroundings; third, to give them
-he care and attention regularly which
they deserve even If the DIow Stons

FARM AND FIRESIDE.

Before manures can produce their
full and profitable effect upon the soil,
the land must be made dry by drain
age or other means. ----------------
The foolish farmer plants his crops
by zodiacal signs; the wise farmer
plants his when the weather is suitable
and the ground is in good conditional
As rule those crops pay best that
require the most care and attention.
The brains and the labor are what sell
in the markets in the shape of the crop.
"A horseman of experience says that
the use of lard between the hair and
the hoof is an excellent remedy for
quarter cracks or other imperfections
in the hoof. 80 Sgsa
"A piece of pumice stone as large
as ones fist soaked in coal oil and
wired to pole makes good torch for
burning insect webs out of fruit trees.
A piece of soft brick may be used if
pumice stone is not at hand.
Egg Cakes: Three well-beaten
eggs poured over one pint of fresh
bread crumbs. Season with pepper
and salt Mix we'll but do not mash
the bread; drop carefully in spoonfuls
in hot lard and fry.
If the currant bushes have failed
to bear well, trim up well and then
stir the soil well around them and APP
ply good dressing of manure. By
securing a strong vigorous growth of a

An Arab rule for selecting a good
horse is to measure him from the tip of
the nose to the top of the withers, and
from the latter point to the root of the
tail. The longer the first measurement
is in proportion to the latter the better
the horse.
The cutting-boX saves waste of
food. All food should be cut, which
better enables the farmer to mix it with
ground grain. and thereby rendering it
more palatable. All provender fed in
this uncut condition is subject to loss.
Much of it is thrown on the floor and
trampled, while portions will be un.
eaten. The saving of food will more
than pay for the labor of cutting it.

think the dish will be improved if they
add teaspoonful of lemon juice just
before removing the mushrooms from
the fire. Stock may be used in place
of the half cupful of water and will
produce better flavor.

cooking apples, and stew with the
