In addition to the fine quality of

great merit of early maturity. Rams

Feeding the Early Broilers.

The Matching of early broilers will
soon begin, as the incubators enable
the poultrymen to get the young chicks
out before Christmas. As soon as the
chicks are Matched they must be put
in warm place. of ninety degrees
temperature, and no food allowed for
thirty-six hours after they are Matched.
If they crowd in the brooder it indi-
Gates that the brooder is not warm
enough, but if they spread out, and
keep near the edges of the brooder, it
shows that the chicks are comfortable.
The first food should be stale bread
dipped in fresh milk and squeezed dry,
being placed before them in little
troughs made of lath. Give them this
three times a day, but keep a little
trough of clean, granulated oatmeal
before them all the time, so that thew
can help themselves. Three times a
week raw egg may be beaten
and mixed with the bread and
milk. Hard-boiled eggs cause bowel
disease, and so will too much meat,
but little meat may be given them,
chopped fine, twice week. One raw
egg for twenty-five chicks is about cor
rect. Mashed potato is always ex-
celent, and after the chicks are a week
old they may be given cracked corn
and screenings instead Of the granulat-
ed oatmeal, which is expensive. Give
whole wheat as soon as they are large
enough to eat it, and green food of anv
kind may be given, though it is not es-
sential at first.
II bowel disease appears. the chances
are that the heat is insufficient. If the
chicks become droopy, and appear
sleepy, look on their heads and necxs
for the large body lice. II they have
leg weakness, the floor of the brooder
is toe warm, but if they have leg weak

to run about on their knees. it is due

but they must only get their bills in to

chicks.

ply let's in the cold. They will get all
the cold air they should have, without
allowing it to pour in on them. Do
not be afraid Of keeping the chicks
indoors, as the warmth and dryness is
better than the cold air outside.
The keyoto success is tie brooder;
the chicks should never become
chilled. A single nights providing
together may be fatal. When you go
to the brooder in the morning, and
find some of them dead without appar-
emit cause, it means that they have
crowded together for warmth and the
life crushed out of those that we're
down. A young chick is as tender as
a young baby, the down being no pro-
lection. In fact, it is really naked,
and no mode of feeding will undo the
mischief from lack of warmth. Chicks

Pineapple Culture in Florida.


Thos. Z. Richards, Indian River,
Fla, writes to the american Agricult-
uriSt: came to Florida in the fall oil
1879 with impaired health and not def
mite ideas as to what business / should
engage in. settled on the banks OF
the Indian river and found it free from
malaria and frosts. decided to en-
bark in pine-apples, thcagh l had II
all to learn, and no books or. papers
threw any light upon the business.
knew nothing of the kind of soil re-
CURED for pine-apples or what culture
they required. But upon the advice OF
neighbors obtained 10000 plants at
$40 per thousand and set them out.
They looked we'll for some four months
when they began to die in the heart or
bud. Nothing could save them; they
all died out. / abandoned the land and
canso across the sound and planted
few plants in my present situation and
they grew well. Finally l found
out why the first ones died, which was
my first lesson in pineapple culture.
The fact is, the pineapple will not
grow in shell land. Raw she'll, either
fine or coarse, will kill pineapple
plants. In 1881 put out good patch
of pineapple plants; they grew we'll
and kept it, and have every year in
creased the number, until now have
some 100000 under culture. With the
same amount of labor as IS put into
orange culture there is more to be real
lied, for pineapples bring returns so
much sooner. We set 10000 per acre,
at a cost OF $3.50 for plants. They can
be bought for less, but that is the price
Of the best; and the second year from
planting they will yield nearly as much
per acre as ten-y ear-old orange grove.
There is not-as much land as reported
in South Florida that can produce them
without protection, but it would pay
to protect them. Where there is no
danger from heavy freezing a very
slight covering will keep off frost.
l am sure there will never be an
over-production of this fruit which
proved excellent and had a fine bouquet.
l also make cider from it; the acid Of
the pine is one of the best for the
stomach. Vinegar is also made from
the juice which discounts Northern
cider vinegar. l think a good article |
of brandy could be made from pine
apples, as there is great amount of
saccharine matter in them. They are
also canned, so that all can be used.
Pineapple growing will be the chief
industry in this part of the State in the
near future. / have few new varie-
Ties of pine-apples, some being much
better than the standard sorts. The
Egyptian Queen is a better for most
purposes, but it is not good canned.
The large pines, such as Trinidad, are
shy bearers and rather coarse fruit,
put they are very handsome, and bring
| good price, from 81 to $1.50 per app

Naturally Reduced Iron.

q a notable example of naturally re-
Quced iron is said to be found on the
North Saskatchewan river in the
Northwest Territory of Canada and
dear Edmonton. It appears that
along the river bank Ignite forma-

laid BY clay shales and soft argilla-
ceous sandstones, containing nodules Of
clay ironstone, these nodules being
similiar to others found at Edmonton,
ana proved by analysis to be carbon

i've per cent Of metallic iron. It also
appears that this Saskatchewan seam
Of Ignite has at some time or other
Deem burnt, leaving a bed of ashes,
clinkers and burnt clay in places
twenty feet thick, and now covered by
p dense growth of grass and under
wood. From this mass of burnt clay,
pieces Of metallic iron are picked out
Weighing in some cases fifteen or twen-
81 pounds, and which have evidently

Origin Of Bis Plate.GIass Windows.

"Do you know" said a we'll known

their Origin in the vanity Of women A

saunter up and down Broadway or Sixth

of ten casting furtive glances into
the windows that reflect back their
likenesses. Then they are attracted to
the goods in the windows and go into
the stores to inspect and buy. 1t was
that idea that first brought about big
pate-gla windows The old, common
frames, with large numbers of pAnes,
gave no opportunity for the ladies to see
their full figures. They could only see
their faces. Tradesmen who observed

Useful Hints.

The most useful kitchen utensil is a
sharp knife.
The covers of the range should never
be allowed to get red hot.
A hot shovel held over vanished fur
niture will take out white spots.
Clean the zince under the kitchen
stove with woolen cloth saturated in
kerosene.
Buckwheat and hominy should be
bought in small quantities and kept in a
covered tub.
Baking sod b dissolved in spirits of
camphor and applied TO corns night and
morning will entirely remove them.
For a sore throat, cut slices of fat,
boneless bacon, pepper thickly and tie
around the throat with a flannel cloth.
Madeira vines can be Eept growing
upright, and bright and beautiful all
Winter; and they will help to heautify
an unsightly corner of room wonder
fully.
Soap should never be rubbed on fan
nels, but they should be washed if warm
suds and rinsed in water of the same
temperature as that in which they are
washed. A little bluiug in the second
water will improve their color.
An apple grated and stewed with meat
of any sort will insure its being tender.
Vinegar or lemon Juice is also useful in
removing the strong flavor from beef
kidney. II sliced and soaked for time
in the acid it becomes almost as mild as
sleeps kidney.
Sometimes the lamp wick will obsti-
nately refuse to be turned up in an or
derly manner. 1t will seem firmly
wedged at one side, while the other will
run up in point, causing WEAKNESS
and vexation of spirit. To overcome
this depravity, take new wick, draw
out a single thread near the selvage, and
the wick will be found quite tractable
when introduced into the burner. The
cogs win take it up properly, and it will
appear in good form and give an even
fame when lighted.
