Poultry Notes.

A HEN of the large breed should
not lay less than ITO to 100 eggs, the
small breed from $50 to IT'S; any that lay
less eggs than that should not be kept.
IFyou are breeder of thoroughbred
stock Gull the fowls very closely. 1t
will not pay to winter disqualified birds.
There is more money with fewer birds
and higher prices.
The feeding places of poultry should
be spaded up and put in some kind of a
crop. They are excellent locations for
small gardens, and usually produce
we'll, but if they are not convenient for
garden purposes, SOW oats on the
ground, then turn on the fowls when the
oats are six inches high.
NATURAL hen-mothers-t that is-good,
motherly hens, can often be use in con-
nection with Matching by artificial incu-
baton. SGT as many hens as possible
when the incubator eggs are started, or
soon after, and when they hatch divide
the chicks among the hens. One hen
can take care of two dozen small chicks
just about as we'll as one, and not be
over-worked at all. 1t is not necessary
either that q hen should set" three
weeks in order to own the chick
ems given he1; and Their again,
when necessary, she will sit six
weeks, Matching out two litters, and do
we'll. It seems o little cruel, though, to
thus impose on her M otherly instincts.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Uses for Glycerine. ;

Few people realize, says the Scientific
American, the Importance of the uses
of pure commercial glycerine. and how
it can be used and made available for
purposes where no substitute is found
that will take it's place. AS dressing
for ladies' shoes nothing equals it, MAX
ing the leather soft and pilable without
solllng the garments in contact. AS a
face lotion oatmeal, made in paste, with
glycerine two parts, water one part and
applied to the face at night, with mask
worn over, will give in short time, if
faithfully pursued, ayouthfu1a appearance
to the skin. AS a dressing in the BATH two
quarts of water, with two ounces of
glycerine, scented with rose, which will
impart final freshness and delicacy to
the skin. In severe paroxysms in
coughing, either in coughs, colds or
consunptives, one rtwo tablespoonful
of pure glycerine in pure whisky Or hot,
rich cream will afford almost immediate
relief, and to the consumptive panacea
is found by daily use of glycerine in
ternally, with proportion of one part of
powdered willow charcoal and two parts
of pure glycerine. For diseased and
infamed gums two parts of golden seal,
one part of powdered burnt alum and
two parts of glycerine, made in paste
and rubbed on the gums and around the
teeth at night strengthens and restores
the gums to health, provided no tartar
is present to cause the disease, which
must be removed first before applying.

THE POULTRY YARD.
Brown LephOrus.

The following tribute to the Brown
Leghorn is paid by one who owns none
and has none to sell. He says: This
beautiful breed not receive too much
praise from their admirers. Their heavy
ear lobes contrasting with their beautl-
full comb and wattles, combining with
their handsome brown ploomage, up
rightness and sprightliuess, make them
very attractive and perferred for country
homes. While they consume less food
than any other breed, they are admitted
to be the greatest egg producers, and if
eggs are what you want, the Leghorn is
the most profitable fowl you can get.
Plymouth Rocks, Cochins, and Brah-
mas, are fowls that crow in the morn,
but they cannot compete with the Brown
Leghorns. They are hardy, mature
early-cocks growing when eight weeks
old, pullets laying when six months old,
and are great foragers. hunting most of
their living. They contain greater bust
ness capacity to the square inch than
any other breed, and few dollars in
vested in breeding stock, will repay the
small outlay.

4. l. STOCK RANCH.
Cows Mt Calving Time.


Great care should be taken not to give
any cold drink to COWS for several days
after calving. The animal is probably
feverish, and will drink large quantities
If allowed, but whatever is given should
be warmed. No better first mess for the
COW can be given than wheat bran In n
thin mash with water of milk warmth.
The warm water is excellent to start the
milk flow, which fever would naturally
check. The warm mash is also laxative,
and this has a tendency to reduce the
fever. No corn meal or oily meal of
any kind should be given for several
days after calving. The milk that has
been in the bag several days is probably
too rich. 1t should be drawn out as
carefully as is ever done, for to entirely
clear the bag ofmilk is the best security
against caked bag afterwards. Do not
give roots in large quantities, especially
if the weather is cold. They will chill
the stomach almost as much as Will
pailful of cold water. A week after
calving these precautions about warming
water aud giving roots may be dropped,
if the COW seems then to be all right.
Causes of Failure in sheep Raising.
Many a man has failed in the sheep
business, as has been the case in many
other kinds of business. because he did
not make proper calculations and prep
arations on starting IN. He was not
particular enough in the selection Of his
stock; he did not use good judgment in
selecting buck; he did not provide
proper shelter for hip flock when the
cold, beating storms came on; he did
not properly house the ewes and their
young lambs; feed in winter and pas
ture in summer were DETECTIVES; no at
tention was paid to supply of water,
and sailing was not thought of-in short,
the only system that prevailed was one
of general neglect. from first TO last.
The sheep were expected to take care of
themselves. No wonder they get sick
and died. They suffered from the an
noyance of ticks, end not being suffi-
GENTLY nourished and protected, they
were weak and an easy prey to scab.
Foot-rot afflicted them. They were per-
mitted to run in all sorts of wet and foul
places, and their living was picked up
in the briery and weedy pasture, and in
the uncovered barn-yard, where they
were huddled with lot Of other ami
mails equally neglected Is this an un
common picture? We think not. 1t is
too much the practice with farmers to
let sheep, hens, and other farm stock
run and shift for themselves. It seems
too much trouble to look after them and
provide for their needs beyond the sup
plies that they can pick up from the
waste of other stock, or that which
other stock will not eat. No doubt it is
economy to keep sheep for the purpose
of utilizing much that otherwise would
GO to waste. But this is not sufficient
excuse for their neglect.

Care of Seed Potatoes.

If seed potatoes are in the cellar, or
where they can be readily seen, it will
pay to watch them closely to prevent
sprouting. If possible they should be
spread thinly, and exposed to light and
air at temperature only little above
freezing. If put into tight barrel the
potatoes will almost certainly be too
warm. Empty them upon the floor.
The more they dry out in light, cool
place, the more vigorously the eyes will
push when the seed is placed in right
coz alton for growing.

sounds greeted him, that he did not
dare to drive the horse on to the buck
wheat. At that time buckwheat secreted
honey only in the night, and it must be
snatched before the sun came up, when
it would be lost. The same fact applies,
more or less, to clover after the first of
July. But whatever comes from white
clover is the most delitate, the most de-
licious of its kind

UNDERMINING of Houses.

The walls under houses and barn
easements, il they have been built
several years, always need some atten-
ton on the approach of winter. Our
climate, SO moist in fall and SO cold in
winter, makes sad havoc with walls.
Mortar being largely composed of lime
readily absorbs dampness, and freezing
when moist disintegrates it. little
fresh mortar and few hours work with
the trowel will save the ingress of much
cold every winter.

Apiary Notes.

The importance of giving abundance
of storage room connot be Oyerestl-
mated during the honeyfow.
You must look at the bees every day
and remove all honey that is completed,
and twice in day is not too often if
the honey is there to be taken away.
A MODERATE increase should always
be your motto, and If increase does not
justify you cut it down until you can al
ways make the bees pay their way, which
they will always do in honey.
MIR. Roof says: These queer inmates,
or rather occasional inmates, of the
hive are worker bees that lay eggs.
Aye, and the eggs they lay hatch too;
but they hatch only drones, and never
worker bees. The drones are rather
smaller than the drones produced by a
queen, but they are nevertheless drones
IN every respect as far as we can dis
cover"

How 10 Improve a Farm.

The best and shortest way to improve
a farm is to reduce the stock, pillow your
fallows in winter so that the soil will be
warm and dry and the sub-soil decom-
posed early III the spring. Harrow we'll.
and then sow ten or twelve quarts of
grass seed to the acre when you put in
your oats. If all take, your chance is
good for obtaining from five to ten
acres of oats and field seeded down to
grass. Then prepare as many acres for
rye sowing, provided your land is not
good enough for wheat, and the two
crops will give you all the straw you
need, and the corn field with usual
good luck, will produce enough to fat
stock. AT the end of the season you will
have the produce from fifteen or twenty
acres of land, represented in oats, corn,
and potatoes, and as many acres sown
with rye and wheat Keep just stock
enough to eat up the produce in grain
and hay, and after gathering your next
years crop of hay and grain, covering
say fifty acres of your farm of 100 ceres,
you may think OF adding as many head
of cattle as your farm will sustain with
out purchasing very heavily of foreign
supplies. By the end of the fourth
year you are ready to put in crop of
wheat and save blowing up your bottom
meadow, you have re-seeded your whole
farm and are now ready to enlarge your
dairy-and at the end of ten years your
land ought to be in a condition to
double your crops and the number of
your cattle. This is rotation.

THE KITCHEN.
Cheese Cakes.

Here is an old, old recipe, for some
thing which used to be considered
great delicacy. The measures have been
changed to suit modern cooks. Some
of US are old fashioned enough to like
the old things best. Let US know how
you like it.
One Neufchatel or cream cheese; one
teacupful sugar; one lemon, CRATE the
rind and use half of the juice; half tea
cupful currants; half teacupful rolled
cracker crumbs (the finer and more deli
cate the cracker the better); four eggs,
we'll beaten; one spoonful melted but
ter; half teacupful cream or rich milk;
half nutmeg; one tablespoonful salt.
Mix the cracker crumbs dry with the
cheese, first removing the wrapper and
| taking off the thin film or skin on the
outside of the cheese; crumble the
crumbs and cheese we'll together; add
| the eggs, which have been first we'll
beaten up with the sugar. Then the
butter and cream may be added. If the
cream is very rich the butter may be
omitted. Lastly add the lemon, cur
rants, and nutmeg. The currants must
have been washed, dried, and then we'll
busted with cracker dust or flour. Mix
we'll, and put directly in we'll -buttered
patty-pans that have been lined with
puff paste. Bake fifteen or twenty min
utes in quick oven. They will Iuff
| up, but must not be too brown.
For variety omit the currants and the
lemon. and flavor instead with sweet al
monds and one teaspoonful essence Of
bitter almonds. In putting in almonds,
blanch them first, then pound them in
m ortar with two or three tablespoonful
of rose-water, or If that is not procura-
BILE, with an equal quantity of sweet
milk. Beat all up together until it ia O
smooth paste. Half pound Of sweet
almonds and one teaspoonful of bitter
almonds favoring are the right proper
tions for these cakes. Bake in the
smallest patty-pans you can get.
The little cheese loaves may be also
made with the cream or Neufchatel
cheese, and they are very tender and
delicate. The addition of few cur
rants is great Improvement to them.
