WATCH THE 1oUNG CHICKENS.-
There is always a large loss of young
poultry by various accidents and by
disease. A young chick is a small
thing, but so is an ear of corn, and the
corn crop is made up OF single ears.
1t is the little things which count.
Poor Richards adage. Take care of
the cents, the dollars will take care of
themselves" is worthy of constant re-
membrance. Farmers incomes are
made up Of small things. and even a
chicken is worth caring for. Poultry
can be made the most profitable of
farm products, for 1t may be reared Cor
one-fourth Of the market value, giving
a profit of 800 per cent. upon its cost.
II only 500 yearly Is thus made 1t is
the interest at 5 per cent. upon $4,000.
which is a very respectable and comfor-
table sum to have invested. Few
farmers, however. give any attention to
their poultry, while they will spend
time and work upon a strawberry bed
which brings them in no more than
this, and will boast of the profit of the
little patch. More over. to cherish the
poultry and make it pay and 10 enlist
the girls in the enterprise will do them
much good, and, perhaps, give them a
welcome and happy start in an indepen-
dent life. One may learn a great deal
Just now by noting how the numerous
accidents occur and taking measures
by proper provision for avoiding these
n the future.

FARM NOTES

THROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS.
For the amateur, the pot grown
strawberry plant serves well. There
70 no more risk of losing the plants
than in ordinary bedding plants. These
plants are obtained, explains Prairie
Farmer, as the unn grow in
summer, by sinking two or three inch
pots in the soil, on a level with the sur
face. and fastening, by peg or stone,
a single runner over each pot. The
roots strike into this, and as soon as the
plant has become well established, the
runner is cut off, the pots lifted and
placed by themselves, where they can
have shade for a few days, and the
plant is ready to be transplanted into
the bed. II is ready to go on growing
at once, and give a good crop the fol-
lowing summer.
Every one who has a garden should
grow q few Strawberries. When fresh
from the plant they are quite a differ
ent article from the very best that can
be obtained IN the market. The best
way for a small garden is to make a
new plantation for fifty or a hundred
plants every year, and dig up an equal
number Of old ones, after gathering
The crop. By beginning at one end of
the lot new soil can be used for a num-
Der OF years. For amateur use in this
method the rows need not be over two
feet apart and the plants one foot. IL
is always hest to depend upon such
varieties as have proved suitable for
the locality, We have heard good re-
ports of the Sharpless from many sour
ces. Although not an attractive berry
in appearance it Is fine in quality. One
grower says: "Plant of strong. healthy
growth, and when heavily MANFRED,
prolific; l find it requires but n thing
beyond keeping the ground free
from weeds to insure success, to wit, a
liberal supply Of fertilizers; with this it
will succeed on all soils, and without
it Will fail on any. The earth must be
rich and heavily fortified also to have
it do its best" The amateur will find
no diflculty in supplying this.

IN EAST INDIA JOKE.

1t is generally known that the down.
fall of Dhuleep Singh, in asocial sense,
was due to a monstrous trick he play
ed some fourteen years ago. 1t was in
country house where the prince and
princess of Wales were staying, and a
certain noble lord was in the act of Of
fering candlestick to the princess as
she was retiring up the stairs. The
maharajah, at this moment stuck his
foot in the way of the noble lord, trip
ped him up, and sent him and the can
die flying. Such gross piece of mis-
behavior was probably never before
known, and the justly incensed noble
man went for Dhuleep Singh like a
bulldog as soon as he got him into the
billiard-room. 1t was with difficulty
that Dhuleep Singh was rescued from
his assailant.-St. Stephens Revieav.

THE FORESTER.
iiHHk Is EOrnSfruo

What is forestry? II is the same thing
as agriculture business. The.ditference
is only i'll the kind of crop and in the
manner of treating the crop. 1t is the
production of wood crop we are after.
This is the crop which grows, or can be
made to grow, on those parts of the farm
which are useless for all other crops. L,
is slow-growing crop, to be sure, but il
grows while you are asleep, and you need
put it into the ground but once, where il
will thrive without further care for many
years; and, if properly started. it needs nc
hoeing, no cultivating, no worrying about
the weather. And when you come to reap
it it will prove to yield a profit from ground
that would otherwise have been left not
only unproductive, but unsightly in addi-
ton.
Ii only for the looks of it, piece of
young timber thriftily growing enhances
the value of the farm. Therefore, plant
the unsighty waste places in trees, re-
move those ugly spots from your farm
which spoil its good looks. 1t costs but
little more than an occasional day of en-
joyable work.
Don't figure on the profit of the sticks
that you are going to cut; there is profit
indirectly on your surroundings accruing
from such planting which dehes all strict
financial calculation, besides your own
satisfaction, which will surely reflect from
such work beyond any direct money gain,
though this will not be lacking either, in
proper time. 1t has been proved over and
over again that good wood-lot will sell
the farm-if sold it must beat better
price than it would have brought with
out it.
And you who are the happy owner of a
wood-lot, treat it as the goose that lays the
golden eggs; the eggs will soon be high in
price, the goose is worth caring for! If
you cut, don't cut the good trees only, and
leave the bad ones to spoil the looks OF the
lot ana to injure the young growth that
would be better Off if the gnarly old fellow
overhead did not stand in its way with
shade and drip. Always give some light
and room to the young folks!
Forestry means more than tree planting;
it is the art of managing a wood crop so
that it will reproduce itself spontaneously
by the seed from the old trees, and after
ward helping the young growth to make
the best timber in the shortest time.
Nature will reproduce the forest and grow
timber without care if allowed by man,
but she takes time, and time is money-at
least to a careful man and manager.
Then use your odd moments IN improv-
ing your crop; the axe, too, is cultivator
in iudicious hands.-B. e. Fernow,
Chief of Forestry Diuision, United STATES
Department of Agriculture.

Fine sand for Bctding .4u,n,a,s.

Many an intelligent filler of the soil has
laughed ut me, heartily, when suggested
that fine sand was excellent bedding for
domestic animals; and many of your read
ers may indulge in sides shaking ha! In!
ha! and suggest that I am fairly in nv
dotage, for thinking that sand may be en-
ployed for bedding! "Why, who ever head
OF such ultraism?" said one farmer. II
would us soon bed with mud" "Well, let
us reason together" Many years ago.
when l had easy access to clean sand, /
used it for bedding the COWS and horses, in
preference to straw, sawdust, dry tan bark,
or any other material, for the reason that q
bed of fine sand would absorb the liquids of
the stalls sooner and keep the animals
cleaner than other bedding. There was the
fact in the case. That is all there is about
it. few days since was at the stable Of
farmer who works a large farm, and keeps
several teams and large herd of neat cat
tie, who told me that he prefers fine sand
for bedding to any other material. He
had more than 1000 bushels (I iudged) of
dry, fine sand, stored for bedding in the
winter. No other bedding will prevent the
manurial accumulations from adherin to
the hair of domestic animals so etfectually
as clean sand. In many localities one can
not obtain sand, except at an exorbitant
price per wagon load, while in some sec
tons Of the country fine and clean sand
will cost nothing besides the expense Incl
dent to hauling it. In many places one
can collect several wagon loads in the pub
lie streets, which has been carried down to
the foot of hill during a shower of rain.
A peck of fine sand will readily absorb and
retain half peck of liquid manure. Then,
here is another important consideration
greatly in favor of sand, namely, the IA
cility with which the manurial accumula-
tons of any stable may be handled and
stored without loss from heating ana "tire-
fanging," as stable manure will do, when
the bedding consists OF straw or haulm of
any sort. Doubling and incredulous per-
sons can satisfy themselves by an mex
pensive trial of sand for bedding. In case
sand is coarse and full of gravel, it should
be screened, rs gravel stones would render
the bed Of a heavy animal somewhat un-
comfortable. Cor. country Gentleman.
