Double Runs for Poultry.

h importance of double runs for poul.
try IL not appreciated by the majority Of
amateurs who try growing poultry on a
comparatively email scale, and yet these
double runS arc Of untold value. The ob-
Ject OF the doublo run is To supply the
birds with fresh ground, and thus prevent
any tainting Of it, so prolific q cause OF
disease ia small yards.
Only one run ut a time ought to be oc-
cupicd by the fowls, and the other may be
probably employed with growing vegcta-
blcs, which will be found to thrive aston
ishingly in such n place. One not only
gets the profits OF some quick growing
crops by this practice, but the soil has at
the same time been purified and brought
into good condition for tho poultry. II
each u Is thus alternRted by fowls and
crops, say every fOu months, the diseases
so common Ia confined poultry runs will
he few and far between.
The efficacy OF this plan has been
proven TO the writer's own satisfaction,
and IL well worth a trial. There appears
no reason why farmers should not mako
poultry one OF n series In q rotation Of
crops, rs by thism means the land occupied
by the fowls Is well MANFRED, and before
being used again by the birds Is purified
by the crops grown thereon.
1t may happen that the small poultry
keeper cannot give these double runs. In
that case a good plan would be to lay
down the one run he has in gravel, as that
San DO more easily removed and re-
newcd than earth, and then it Is not so
readily contaminated by the droppings as
Is soil.

Dehorning Cattle.

The practice OF dehorninS cattle is
rapidly Increasing, not only in the west
but in some sections Of the middle and
eastern states. The chief objection urged
against dchorning has been the cruelty OF
the operation; q lesser one f. that it dc.
tracts from the appearance Of the animal.
The sccond objection remains, but tho
great majority Of hose who have prnc.
tice1 dchorning contend that it is no more
painful, If as painful, ns other operations
generally practiCed. However this may
horning, carefully performed, IS not a dan
gcrous operation.
The arguments advanced In favor Of de-
horning are: First, the prevention Of ter.
rible accidents in handling vicious cattle,
especially bulls; second, that the dcLOrncd
cattle can bo turned loose in sheds and
stalls without fear of their injuring each
other, even II they are more or less
crowded.
The subject has received considerable
attention this season Et the farmers In
stitutes and clubs, and If reports of these
meetings may be relied upon the farmers
n breeders who hAyc experimental in
dehorniDS their cattle almost with one nc.
cord favor the practice. From these and
other sources II appears that the preferred
