Notes.

Fowls require salt, but only little
When mixing the food season it as though
you were suiting your own taste. Never
place Jumps of salt before fowls, but do
not fail to supply it in proper quantity in
the food, and they will relish it better.
The home market is always the best.
The prices may not be as high as else
where, but the expense and risk of sales is
less, and the home market should be
sought before trying elsewhere. The best
home market, when prices are low and
you have a large surplus, is your own
table. Consume all you can of poultry
and eggs, and pay for them by reducing
your expenses in some other direction.
One of the advantages of giving lime
and charcoal is that ofcorrecting the acid
ity of the bowels. Lime is an alkali, and
performs service other than that of as
sisting to form egg-shells (Which is now
disputed), while charcoal has great
power of absorbing of gases, especially if
fresh. While lime and charcoal may be
freely given, yet there is nothing to equal
broken crockery-ware or sharp flint gravel
for keeping the birds in health. The first
desideratum is to masticate the food in
the gizzard, and this can only be perfectly
accomplished Dy Gne ala OF hard, sharp,
grinding material. When the bird cannot
procure these the result will beindigestion
and failure to produce eggs.
Nearly all who have attempted the
poultry business have gained more
knowledge by handling the birds than in
any other manner. In other words, the
successful poultry men are those who live
in the poultry house with the birds, and
do not delegate the work to some hired
man, or some person who is not directly
interested. 1t is just as necessary for one
who is engaged in the business to be con-
stantly on duty as it is for the carpenter
to remain all day at his bench. In this
manner the poultry man becomes famil-
lar with every detail, and knows when
and where to apply his labor to the best
advantage. He becomes well known to
every bird, and he soon knows each in
dividual among them.

Poultry on the Farm.

Homestead: 1t is mystery to me why
farmers who are so tidy and painstaking
as to have fine dwellings,, large barns,
green lawns and pure bred horses, cattle,
hogs and sheep, do not keep pure bred
poultry. Let anyone take a trip over the
country and see the amount of scrubs and
dunghills on the farm as compared with
the really good birds, and he will agree
with me that poultry breeding ought to
be encouraged by everybody who has the
good of agriculture at heart. 1t costs no
more to keep good Langshan, Light
Brahma or Plymouth Rock than it does
to keep the miserable, scrawny scrub stock
seen on almost every farm. The hen that
is not larger than pigeon, being all tail
and wings, that can roost in the tops of
cherry trees, lays a little white egg up in
the barn loft or away back under the
barn and subsequently cackles and makes
as much noise as though she had discOv-
cred gold mine. '"These are the fowls
that eat their heads off, )" and "are more
bother than they are WORTH" By the
cost of a sitting of eggs or the price of a
pure bred male, every farmer could i'm
prove his flock until they would be worth
many times what they are. They are
considered by too many farmers ''too
small fry" suitable for the 'pastime of
weak men or women,' giving little
thought for house or other comforts of
the fowl. The poultry should have good
comfortable quarters. The poultry busi-
ness should be encouraged by our fair
managers by Offering inducements for
breeders to exhibit, that the farmers may
come in contact and see what pure bred
fowls are. 1t was astonishing to see the
number of farmers at the poultry show
last winter in Atlantic that inquired the
name of certain kind of fowlso common
to poultry fanciers. Nebraska Farmer.

Cracked Corn for Poultry.

Ine prlnCIpaI reason Iur uavIng corn
cracked is to get it small enough so that
the chickens can swallow it. This is all
very well if the poultry keeper is not too
far from the mill; but many cannot pro
cure cracked corn as often as desirable,
yet have ample facilities for raising corn.
It is for the interest of such persons to
raise a kind Of corn with very small
kernels, especially for chickens. There
are varieties of popcorn which meet the
case and furnish fair yield. This corn
may be kept an indefinite time without
injury, and the kernels are OF the right
size to be easily swallowed. The Dwarf
Pearl corn has the smallest kernels of
any variety, and at the same time af-
fords sizable ears and goodly number
on a stalk, 30 that it yields we'll Poultry

Bees During the Winter Season.

''Have you proved it profitable or
necessary to make examination of colo
MES of bees in summer stands during the
winter when an occasional fine day per-
mitsi In other words, do you think anv
harm results to colony from disturbing
their: winter nest? The above query
was recently observed in Gleanings In
Bee Culture by a number Of promi-
nent apiarians. L. c.. Root said: If
property arranged and protected. it
is profitable to leave them undisturbed. ;"
Professor A. j. Cook thought it did no
harm to examine the bees when the
weather is warm enough to induce free
fight. James Heddon said: Harm or
no harm. | should consider it time
wasted to be opening and examining
bees in winter, as rule" G.. M. Doolit-
tie had experienced no bad results from
looking at his bees occasionally in win
ter.
The editor OF the journal mentioned.
said: Although | have at different
times decided that the less bees were dis
turbed during the winter months the
better, have about as many times de
cided that they could be handled with
out any injury when the weather was SO
warm as to enable them to fly freely.
Thare may be an exception to this, how
ever. After bees have been shut up for
a long time and start out to have good
cleansing fight, if you pull the hive to
pieces before they have this fight and
settle down, have good reason to think
it may induce swarming out.

Profit in Eggs.

One of the curious things aboutpoultry
raising is, that the demand for eggs still
keeps ahead of the domestic supply.
This demand is met in part by importing
large numbers of eggs from England and
France. We see in this bright future
for the domestic American hen. But all
the profit in poultry is not in the egg pro-
duce. And here there are otherfeathered
bipeds who will put in disclaimer if ig-
nored. The turkey, goose and duck have
made themselves names but little less re-
nowned than their prolific contemporary,
the hen, and surely they are worthy a
niche in this true history, for theirs is a
renown of martyrdom almost solely, for
of what avail are they until their heads
are chopped off. But the supply of meat
furnished by poultry is proportionally
greater than the amount furnished by
the increase ofherds of ofcattle.-The Farm
