UNDUE HASTE IN FATTENrSG.

Make haste slowly is a good rule to
apply generally. Animals that have been
summered on grass will not bear, profit
ably, to be pushed on grain feed during
the fall, as haste in this direction dis
turbs digestion. Under the action of
the laws of nature things are, many times,
made to afford rest to follow an undue
exertion of a given part, or of the whole
body. Under this law, the appetite is
taken away when over-feeding has been
practised, that compensation, through
rest of the digestive organs, may occur.
Disgust of food always follows over
feeding; yet it is theorizing falsely to say
that if the beast gets too much food, it
will reduce the amount taken, volun-
tarily, when surfeited, because deranged
digestion follows at once upon excessive
feeding, and then what followsl Moth
ing less than an interruption of nutrition,
the body shrinking. This shrinkage can
only come from disordered action-a dis
ease in itself. This must be recovered
from before nutrition can be resumed,
and during this time we suffer a double
loss, namely through the shrinkage, in
the first place, and through delay from
deranged digestion, in the second place,
There is still another reason why dam.

Where Might was Right.

arrived, and disputed their right of pos

ragged fiercely around the mouth of the
hole, and then the first tenants were
driven away. They went with loud and
bitter lamentations and while the victori-
Gus birds were constructing their nest
they mournfully watched the process from
an adjacent tree, but made no attempt to
retrieve their fallen fortunes. At last
they few away.
Recently the tree was cut down and
split open. The hole was deep, and two
feet, from its mouth was the nest last

AGRICi irLTuRAL FAIRS.

As this is the season for county fairs,
ia vmers should endeavor to take time to
wis it one or more. See what other farm
ers Sre doing, and if any have had good
succ, Nss in growing better fruit or vege-
tables or raising better stock than the
rest, Hive to learn their methods. The
mission of the agricultural fair Is two
fold. First, to show us what is better
than that we have, and to awaken our
ambition to equal il; and next to teach
us better methods of doing our work,
that we m ay produce better results A
day spent by an observing farmer or
gardener mong those who are engaged
in the same business should be a profit
able day, for the wisest will not fail to
dnd some one who can teach him in some
branch of his varied business, or at least
suggest some itlea which will enable him
to teach himself. The information which
a farmer gains by searching after it, by
study and experiment, is more valuable
to him. and is remembered lorger, than
that gained by reading or from lectures,
or rather. it is that which makes lec-
lures and reading most useful to him.

A snake twelve feet long and as big

an Ohio lagoon. Somebody took knife,
ripped the snake open and found twelve
of rare breed OF ducks in the cavernous

different stages of development, some of
them being full fledged and plumaged,
and from that all the way down to one
which was something more than halfway
out of the shell. There is only one flock
of ducks of this variety owned in the
vicinity. 1t is evident that the snake
must have swallowed the eggs laid by
some of these ducks near the water, and

STARTING A POULTRY YARD.

This is a good time of the year for be-
ginners in the business to commence keep
ing poultry. A correspondent of the
Orange Judd Farmer has written the fol-
lowing hints for beginners. He says:
Let me here indicate in brief, from my
own experience and observation, what
you ought to do for success with poul-
try:
Never set your hens with the laying
fowls. l have done this and suffered loss
by it. Sitting hens should be kept quiet;
no one should go near them but the at
tendant.
One cock is sufficient for the same flock
of hens. usually give one to ten hens.
Keep an egg record. BE accurate in
this. Keep an account of profit and loss;
this will help you in many ways.
Have warm, dry house facing south.
Be particular about this in our climate.
Always isolate a sick fowl. A mistake
here often destroys the whole flock.
Do not overfeed your birds. Feed just
what they will use up without waste. Fat
hens are poor layers. Too high feeding
renders the digestive organs weak and in-
duces disease more than anything else.
Do not change blood too frequently.
1t will run your hens out to do so every
year. You can improve your stock in
this way: Each season pick out say five
of your best pullets and one cockerel and
/ breed from these. Next year take the
same plan. After doing this three years
you can change the blood by buying a
pure breed cock from some reliable
breeder Never mind if you pay a good
price, as the dearest is the cheapest in the
end. This is my experience.
/ See that your hens have good run, so
that they can take enough exercise. Idle
ness leads to mischief in the case of hens,
as in the case of higher class of bipeds
Never breed from hens over three
years old as the stock in such cases is
usually weak. Make up your breeding
pens early in the season.
My experience with Leghorns has
taught me that chickens Matched in April
or May do the best, as they grow rapidly.
You don't want "Asiatics" so early, as
they feather slowly. May, and even
June, will do for them in this climate.
You, as Il beginner, may now DC in
clined to say: "This is too much work. "
4 Let me, from an experience of twelve
years, state the simple fact: That sue
cess in poultry raising depends largely on
these seemingly trihing details. Every
little detail tells in the result desired.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
MOLE CATCHING.


The presence Of moles, says the Marx
Lane express, is generally regarded as in
dicative of good soil; yet the farmers s
first object on acquiring such soil is to
get rid Of them. They are destructive
to drains, and deadly enemies to thecom-
mon earthworm, which Darwin has APP
praised at high value as a medium OF Ter
tilization in the soil. Indeed, their food
consists mainly of the common earth
worm, though other insects such as mag
pots, which fall into their tunnel are
readily devourcd. These latter no person
will grudge them, but they work irrepar'
able havoc to crops. They usually IN
habit strong, good land. 1t is coptended
by some people that they assist IN the
work of aeration, so necessary for the
successful management of land. Doubt
less they open up the soil, but, unless
when digging well down in pursuit OF
grub-and then they interfere with the
drains-divertiug the water-they should
by all means be kept down, and if pt'ssi-
bic, stamped out.
This subject has been suggested to us
by a querry from a correspondents CHOW
can best get rid of the moleW There
are various systems of mole catching
Traps of various kinds are used. Tb,l
wire tray has been in vogue for well nigh
thirty years, and is an effectual method
if care is taken to use it in proper part
of a fresh tunnel In some instances the
wire trap, however, has been thrown aside
superseded by the use of poisoned
worms. This system is held by its advo-
Gates to be equally as sure as trapping,
while it is lighter work. Either of these
methods in the hands of a skiilful mole.

of the little foe, but the mole-pest is BDs
now so prevalent throughout tToS
country as it has been earlier in the cer-
tiirv
