FOREST-TREE SEEDS.
How They Are Treated on the Expert

How They Are Treated on the Expert
mental Farm at Ottawa, Can.
William Saunders, director, has the
following important paper on the above
subject:
'.The great Importance of encOurag-
ing and stimulating tree planting
among the farmers, especially in the
Northwest provinces, is beyond dis
pute 1t is felt also that this can only
be accomplished on the scale of mag
nitude required by the planting of suit
able forest-tree seeds, which can be
gathered from the native trees growing
in the provinces or purchased at small
cost. This leads us to add few words
of advice on the general treatment of
forest-tree seeds.
''Many of the tree seeds which ma
ture early are better sown after they
are gathered. This applies especially
to the several varieties of elm and to
the soft maple. The hard maple, box
elder and ash seeds keep well over
winter, provided they are stored in a

too dry. Acorns, nuts and stone
fruits are most successfully planted in
the autumn, but if kept over winter
should be mixed with moist sand and
exposed to frost and planted as early
as possible in the spring, taking care
that they are at no time left in masses
under conditions so as to heat. Many
failures with seed arise from not SOW
ing it in partial shade. If seeds are
exposed alternately to hot sunshine
and cold, while they are swelling. they
will frequently rot before they
appear above the surface. The requi-
site shade may be obtained by the use
of brush-wood, Or light layer Of
corn stalks or straw, removing this as
soon as the seedlings are up and fairly
established. Many nurserymen en-
close their seed-beds with wooden
frames, on which are laid light frames
made of one-inch strips and covered
with cotton or muslin. These are con-

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Use the currycomb lightly. Wher
used roughly, it is source OF great
pain; brushing and rubbing are the
proper means to secure a glossy coat
Let the heels be brushed out every
night. Dirt, if allowed to be caked in
causes sore heels.
Old farmers generally consider
that there is not better place fol-
swine in fall and early winter than the
orchard. The animals profit by the
good feeding. while they destroy the
larva of countless insects and enrich
the ground by their manure.
Don't forget to give the fowls oc'
casionally some burned corn. 1t is g
good thing for them. When the colo
rights come they will greatly relish 6
feed of warm corn. Don't feed toe
hot Warm it thoroughly in the oven.
This will help to keep the birds warm,
and go far towards keeping them ir
health.-Americam Poultry Journal.
Farmers with an abundance o.
corn and other feed which they pro
pose to utilize by buying and feeding
cattle will do well to consider their
ability to shelter and handle carefully,
as we'll as the age and condition Of the
cattle purchased. AS a rule it is
best to secure those that have not fully
matured or that are in thrifty con-
dition and can be rapidly fattened.
Oyster fricassee is a tempting
dish. The oyster is boiled, carefully
SKINNED and thickened with butter
and flour to the consistency of gravy.
The proportions are about one large
tablespoonful of butter to scant one
of -four. This must be stirred up very
slowly to prevent it becoming lumpy.
Season with trifle of mace and chop
ped parsley; then add the oysters, and
stirr constantly until they appear to
be well cooked through.
Many people prefer the flavor OF
frozen cranberries. Freezing changes
part of the acid into grape sugar, and
modifies the flavor Of the fruit. The

POULTRY IN WINTER.
Suggestions of Practical Nature Submit.

ted by Man of Experience.
During the cold weather as much of
their food should be given to them
warm as possible; even the milk for
them to drink should be warmed. Last
winter the cook used to make mush OF
skim milk for the fowls. The milk
was brought to boiling point, then
thickened with cornmeal. 1t is need
less to say that this dish was most
highly appreciated. Corn was also
boiled for them, and wheat, part
ly because it Is more wholesome and
partly from economic reasons; the
grain by swelling to twice its size goes
twice as far. Boiled wheat is the best
food for fowls that we have ever tried;
still, the greater the variety the bet
ter. We give them something of
nearly every thing on the place. The
horses are made to contribute some Of
their shelled oats; the cows, a bag of
wheat bran now and then, a small por-
tion of their ground oats, shipstuff,
or whatever is in season. 1t is an ex-
celent, idea to mix a little cot
ton-seed meal with the soft food
about every other day. One pint to a
mess for one hundred fowls is suffi-
cent, as the cotton-seed meal is very
rich. This, by the way, deepens con-
siderably the color of the yelks of the
eggs. | know of one farmer who raised
a large crop of black-eyed peas for the
benefit of his fowls on field that was
too poor to bring any thing else.
The hen-house should be examined,
close shutters nailed over the lattice
work windows, and all other openings
closed that are large enough to admit
the driving rain or drifting snow.
When fowls are not sufficiently pro-
tected to prevent their combs and feet
from becoming frosted, not only is
their appearance considerably disfig-
ured, but the suffering is SO intense
that the hens become poor and the
supply of eggs is diminished. Many
persons think fowls are healthier tC
roost above an earthen floor, but
where a good many are kept
in one house it seems to me
it would be difficult to keep
the floor clean; earth, because
of its absorbent qualities, soon becomes
very impure. My best hen-house has
good tight floor high enough from the
ground for the air to circulate freely
| beneath it, and so smooth that it can
| be scraped clean with a hoe, after
| which it is neatly swept with a broom,
and receives, together with the roost-
ing-poles and nest-boxes, a good thick
coat of whitewash. This is done as
often as seems necessary; when we
have a good many fowls, every two
weeks at least The old nests are then
thrown away and a layer of refuse
tobacco placed in the bottom of the
boxes with only a sufficient quantity of
clean straw or hay put above it to
make a soft nest. Since this plan has
been adopted the fowls have not been
troubled with insects, and have been
remarkably healty. Lime, crushed
egg shells and bone meal are placed in
accessible places; and thus finding all
their natural wants provided for chick
ems are not apt to contract the bad
habit of eating their own eggs, or
plucking out each others feathers -

fully pious in this life such a transmigra-

Buddhist teachers put women much
lower in the scale Of morality than men,
and they maintain that tho sins Of one wo-
man are equal 10 the sins of 5000 of the
worst men that ever lived. There are

none of these have any other hope of inn

that there have been schools in Burmah
