Before going iato the poultry bust
ness oao should decide where he Will
keep them, and how much space he can
devote to this purpose. This IS an, easy
matter with one living il city or
small village, as there is generally but a
small space to give to this business,
and often only one pace that can be
used.
With the farmer it is diff rent He
can take any one of several locations
1t is, of course, more convenient to have
at least the runs for the young chicks
near the house Of whoever IS to attend
to tn. IN, as in this way much time can
he saved, and in case of sudden cmcr-
ecncics they would be near at hand A
rood size for a run il one-fourth acre
for c Oh 100 chicks. Their coop3 can
be changed from place to place
often. and in this way fresh
grass will always be easily found
The run for the full-grown fowls
should be at least four time a large as
those Tor chicks, and laid out 50 az to
allow the builIing to be built with a
southern frontage. n yer build a hen
house with a northern, NORTHEASTERN or
northwestern frontage, as these expo
: sures allow much cold wind to enter
the houses. This may appear to some
to be a matter of small importance, but
one has only to note the difference IN
the egg production in winter Of HOOK
of hens housed in a building with
southern frontage and that of one IN
! house with northern frontage to Dc
convinced that it does make differ
cncc which way poultry house faces.
If several breeds are to be kept and 1t
is thought too expensive to give each a
Iarre run, each kind should be given a
small run covered with gravel, and be
allowed to roam over large grass run
on alternate days, or for
few hours of each day.
All fowls are better when allowed
plenty of room, but space for running
and foraging is absolutely necessary to
give strong, vigorous and healthy
chicks, if fowls are kept for breeding
purposes. If runs can be protected OF
the north by a wall, belt of trees OF
buildings, it will be all the better. /
you can have land for your run tina
slopes to the south, it will be an advan
tage.
To sum up, always select land 70
your poultry-run that gives you
southern frontage for your buildings
that slopes TO the south, and that
ample in size for all the fowls and chick
you wish to keep, and with a northern
protection. i Farm, Field and Stock

In the selection of seed corn, gather
from the best part of the crop and
always from standing corn. Choose
from stalks that bear two or moro ears
and take only the topmost ear, provided
it is well filled to the point with regu-
lar grains. Care must be taken to re-
icct any which have been soaked or
spYout-d at the lower end by late rains.
Select enough to allow eight bushels
per acre for the intended crop, making
due allowance for tops and butts. In
room which is perfectly dry, stretch
wires from side to side near the ceiling.
Take a ball Of twine and cut in pieces
two feet long, making a loop at both
ends of each one. Place an ear IN each
loop and throw over the wire. If con-
venient, have stove in the room and
heat occasionally if the weather is ex-
tremcIy damp. Moisture in the cob
and vermin are its chief enemies, and
this plan e1Tectually prevents BOTH

\ writ r in the Country G -ntieman
says The idea o. restricting the food
OF any animal, especially growing ami
mails, is one that should be as speedily
Hurled as possible. This economy ~
has and is costing the dairymen OF this
country millions of dollars every year.
The s,untiac Of hcifers, both as calves
and yearlings, entails fearful loss. The
profits Of a COW depend upon her
power to consume, digest and appro-

Very few persons have thought OF
the necessity OF Undertaking pasture
lands, that tame grasses are not wont
to stand with their tiny feet in water
any more than cereal plants Some
have observed that the grass on the 10"
ground is taller and apparently more
Iuxuriant; but the stock Craze upon the
higher ground and shorter grass, for the
reason that it is sweeter and more nutrl-
tious. Put in a few uaderdrains in the
low land, and the stock will soon
change their feeding ground to the
grass growing above the drains. Drain

Artesian Wells in S0Goma.

4 few weeks ago, according 10 the
VfeLly Bu,lftin, "a fine flow Of excellent
water was struck at depth Of min ~
feet. on a lot little TO the east OF the
town of Sonoma, belonging to Mr.. GlI-
bert The next att, mpt was made at
Mr.. Wrinkles vineyard, when at depth
of eighty-two feet flow Of 10000 gal
Ions per day was obtained. The tools
were then moved about $50 feet south to
the lands of J. Gundlach, where still
greater success was met with. At
depth OF one hundred and ten feet flow
ot 100, goo gallons per day was reached.
Both these wells are located N the cot
hills, considerably above the level OF the
valley and supposedly in very unlikely
place to find such a result. The tools
penetrated successive layers OF SAM,
rock, and clay, the water being found
below the latter The water comes out
with considerable force, and will over
flow a pipe twenty feet above the sur
face. The fortunate owners Of these
wells consider them worth not less than
$40, 600 apiece. The temperature OF the
water is constantly y deg. T., and what
is remarkable is that it IS exactly the
same as that of several springs on the
other side of the valley, four or hive
miles away. Many of the farmers and
fruit growers of the valley are arIan8
inc to out down wells"

Biting the Finger Nails.

DR.. Jerome TuthiII, of Chicago, Ill, in
the .NedicM Rec0rd, says: 4 novel acct
dent, resulting from o habit OF very
common prevalence among nervous peO-
pie, was brought to my notice recently.
A young lady presented herself at my
office complaining of constant irrlta-
ton in her throat. Two weeks pre-
vi0uslv she had been taken with a severe
''sore throat, which was treated by
neighboriug physician. Under his care,
she SAYS, the inflammation quickly sub
sided, but there still remained sensa-
ton of irritation. Examination revealed
a small fieshy-looking object, about the
size of a kernal of wheat, adherent to
the tissues pOsteriOr to the left tonsl, by
one end. The other parts of the throat
were normal. The little mass could not
be detached by cotton covered probe.
but by the use of forreps it was easily
removed, and on examination proved to
be a piece of finger nail, which had be,
come covered by cheesy deposit. A
broken piece of the nail was also re-
removed from under the mucous mem
brane at the same spot by @ sharp point
ed probe. The patient then confessed
/ to the habit of biting her finger nails,
and, moreover, could remember that a
day or two previous to the onset Of her
| throat trouble piece of nail which she
had bitten off had become lost in her
mouth, but after it had caused a fit OF
coughing, she had forgotten about 1t un-
till reminded by my discovery.
