SAVE THE NATURE UFNs.

1t is the custom of some farmers who
plan to make the most out of their poul-
try, to sell off the old hens when the
hens arc fat, through laying and in de-
mand at good prices. This plan is a
commendaDlc one, but care should he
taken not to sell the too young old hens,
if regard Is had for the stock of the next
season. 1t is none too early to lay the
plans for next springs crop of early birds.
The reason why the young old hens
should not be sold off now will be made
apparent by the following from the pen
of that poultry authority, Z. III. Jacobs.
He says:
The pullet Matched in spring, say April
ar May, will often begin to lay when SHE siii
is six months old (or sooner if of small
brced, but she will not be fully maturcd
until she arrives at the age of one year
The consequence is that while she will
lay she will be growing at the samc'tmc,
and Is therefore not competent to
produce eggs that will give salts
factory results when used for in
cubation. Her powers are doubly taxed,
and her offspring will break unless She i,
mated with vigorous, strong and active
cock: Those who have taken pains to
secure fine, healthy pullets, have been dis
appointed in raising them on farms where
incubators are operated, as they lay small
eggs, and often begin to lay so early as to
produce eggs no larger than those of
pigeon. If eggs are desired for Matching
purposes, use hens that are in their second
year (over one year old), and mate them
with a cockcrcl that is at least one year
old, and the result will be that greater
proportion of eggs will hatch, while the
chicks thercfrom will be strong and easy
to raise. 1t has been said that her. be-
comes less valuable after she is two wears
old, but it is safe To assert that she will
lay well until she is four years old, and
although she may not lay quite as many
as a pulct nearly grown, yet her eggs
will hatch better and larger number Of
chicks be secured from her. But, it may
be added, do not forget the fact that
pure bred, strong, vigorous cocks must be
used in the flock. FtUm, Field and Stock-
man.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

| Air-slacked lime is II sure remedy for
the Shiny pear slug, and an easy one to
apply.
| LII the little chicks are orOoping, look
for lice. You will he apt to find them
about the chicks head.
From observation and experience we
are persuaded that more young chicks
arc killed by lice than by skunks or
minks.
In shipping hens and roosters have
! them i'll different coops. Have shipping
coops high enough SO the birds can stand
UP in thems. .----
Professor Gon, of the New York
Station, finds the really valuable novelty
in tomatoes tested the past season in the
dwarf champion.
Ground from which a crop Of potatoes
or early cabbage has been taken can he
proiitably sowcd in July to turnips of the
intermediate or early varieties.
Whs;A the milk is transported or when
for any reason the setting must he de
laycd, no method of crcaming gives as
satisfactory results us the centrifugal.
When shipping live poultry to market,
see to it that the coops are in good con-
dition, for they arc sometimes handled
roughly, or sat may come loose and q
fowl or two become lost.
Are you crowding too many chickens
in one roosting place. An you permit
ting chicks under four mopths to roost
other than on floor or coop! If so, cor
rect at once these mistakes.
If you are sending n mixcd.lot of hens
TO market it will pay you to grade them
as t. quality and color. so. as to have
each coop rs even rs possible. They will
sell more rapidly and at better prices.
Boxes in the kitchen windows provide
probably the best and most convenient
way to raise plants from seed for the
home garden. Sow seed about six weeks
before time to transplant to the open
ground.
A veteran peach grower states his be-
lief, concurrcd in by aS good authority
as w. G. Barry, that il trees arc fed
pretty we'll with barn yard manure and
ashes they will not be troubled much with
yellows.
In the early fall months some Of the
=
season prove attractive. a market
gardener suggests that lettuce should be
sown SO that the crisp, green leaves will
prove palatablc when cool days come
again.
There are three friends of the farmer
that wage inccSSant war on the aphilcS or
plant lice. These are the lady bird, the
syrphus fly and the lace fly, and every
farmer should make their acquaintance
and do all in his power to protect
them.
For permanent pasture Peter IIcndcr-
son recommends either for fall or spring
sowing orchard grass instead of timothy
as the base grass, with other sorts in
their proper proportion, TO give compact
ness of sod, view differing from usually
accepted practice.
Dame Nature plants her plums in

Illinois horticulturist argues that plum
trees should never be planted singly, but
will do best in clumps, including different
varieties that will aid each other in
fertilization.

THE POINTS OF 4 GOOD BUTTER COW.

What are the fine points that make up
n good creamery COW. is question am
asked to answer. | presume n butter
COW is meant, as the volume of cream
does not determine the butter value
Cream separated from milk by intense re-
frigeration or by the centrifugal mach,n
requires about one third more in volu lc
to make pound of butter than cream
raised in silo pans at n temperature of
sixty-two degrees, and yet either of the
other processes may produce more butter
from one hundred pounds Of milk than Il
silo pan.
A good butter COW should have a long
face, wide between the eyes, the eye alert
and expressive, and placed u long way
between the horns. 4 COW with eyes
near the top of the head does not know
any more than man with eyes SO placed.
She should have large muzzlc, slim
neck and yellow skin, especially inside
the ears; the breathing should be regular,
the back and abdomen strong, the uddcr
wide where it connects with the body,
the teats squarcly placed, and the tail
slim. Over and above all these points,
she must have the dairy form. The points
at best are only indications. The desira-
bic dairy form is always seen in the hes:
types of Jerseys, Guernscys, Ayrcshircs,
and Holstcins. The best beef Is

DRUNKENNESS AND pRUNKARp.MAxIso.

DRUNKENNESS AND DRUNKARD MAKING.
Commenting B,on tho new Minnesota law
declaring drunkenness q crime, the Cumber-
land hesbyterin, says:
The Legislature of Minnesota has passed a
law declaring drunkenness a crime, and i'm
posing fine or Imprisonment for the first
two offenses, and for every subsequent offense
imprisonment for not less than sixty nor
more than ninety days. This is very good
law as far as it goes. It should be accom-
panied by a law making it crime to sell in
toxicants, and then legislation on the subject
of intemperance would be complete I'm Mime
sofa, but strange to say, Minnesota makes
the liquor traffic virtue and liquor drinking
n crime The sale and manufacture of in
toSicants I'm the State are legalized, and
drunkenness is punished as felony. Ger
tainly a law that permits man to sell in
toxicants also permits the buyer to use them.
All experience gees to prove that moderate
drinking leads to drunkenness, and that moth
ing else can. Now, IL a man be indulged by
.he law In forming habit that makes him
for e. But the Minnesota law IS but another
exhibition Of the folly of trying to deal with
intemperance In any but radical way. The
drunkard should be treated rs q felon, and
the drunkard-maker as his accomplice When
n man is found drunk that ought to be oil
tho evidence required for his punishment, but
the investigation should not stop until his
uccomplice is found and punched for putting
tho bottle to his ncighbor.

WHAT ALCOHOL DOES.

Statistics, says DIR. Oswald, have fully es-
tablished the fact that the pe-ccntage Of
idiocy bears close proportion to the prevail
cnce of intemperance. Before the Parlia-
ment Committee on tho amendment of the
Liquor laws DIR. Charles Anstie testified that
'the tendency of drink begets hereditary dis
orders Of the brain. When both parents
have been inteinnerate, I think it is a physi-
traced In the childrenS have no doubt that
many pa-soiis who were fond of their bottle,
though never drunk, I'm the old port-winc

stable nervous systems to their children"
1t would indeed be a mistake to suppose
that the ruinOus effects of the alcohol vice are
confined to habitual intemperance in its gros-
ser forms Small beer we'll MS lngeiL beer,
wine as well rs brandy and rum, tend to i'm

the human system; and the time is near when
no intelligent moralist will venture to deny n
truth tacitly or openly admitted by the ablest
physicians of tho nineteenth century, viz.
tiiat the alcohol hnbit, in all its forms and
in every stage of its development, is health
destroying and mnd-degrading vice.
