SPRING
"This world is very lovely;

omy Cod thank Thee that livep
Rhapsodcally writes the poet If any circum-
stance would call forth a reteraton of this senti
ment from even the vulgar and common place of
the human family, it would surely be the Spring
time of the year.
1t is the season of seed time, of hope, of anti
cipation. There are none of the odous duties
that cried out at the beginning of the year, no
remorse and new leaves to turn over, no memo
ries embittered by the past Even Time halts in
his course to coquette with beauteous nature. The
wind plays with the starry ammone and the wood
violet, and the work-a-day world is in mood to
take holiday.
Already the housewife has in view the cedar
wood chest and blood purifier for the juvenile
members of the family the stoves are banished
to Winter quarters, and the canary and hooking
bird are hanging in the sunshine without.
The mercantile world offers garntures dear to
the feminine heart, and the house hunting woman
with light and willing footsteps starts out in zeal
GUS pursuit
Gentle Spring time Sweet season Of the house
hunting crusade! The woman with the plush
lambrequin means at msft mantelpieces, and the
woman with bad digestion searches lodgings with
q zenith sun from The rising until the going down
of the same.
Ethereal Spring-time! The ozone of hope is in
the air; the sating blades of grass, the maple
buds and the pussy willows in their immature love-
illness call upon us to welcome them as the flora of
the youthful year.
Is it this same grass that withereth this same
flower that fadeth? Aye, the same, but the
Springtime offers grim forebQdings, and nestled
away in her very heart is the glorious Easter-tde.

One Of the first items is to have dry
land. This implies a situation whore

Then with a good roof the fowls can
have a dry house.
Let it face the south, or at least ar.
range so that plenty Of sunlight can be
given in this way and providing for
plenty of sunlight during the winter.
Arrange also to afford good venti!a-
ton during the summer or whenever
it may be needed. Good rough boards
well battcncd with tarred paper on the
inside will make it sufficiently warm
for all ordinary purposes. A shed
roof will be the cheapest, especially
for a small house such as ordinarily

readily taken down to be cleaned when
needed, Flat strips are preferable to
round poles; plane smooth and oil.
The nests, as far as possible, should
be made in the same way, as it will be
necessary to take down and clean in
order to keep down the hill, as well as
TO change the material in the nests.
IL the nests are made permanent the
work OF keeping clean will be consid.
orably increased, and in planning this
KIND OF work convenience must always
be considered. Then with most hat

wlitewashing and cleaning will be
much less.

dinarily be plenty large for all tho

keep on an average farm, with the
exception of ducks, and a separate
place should always be provided for

Market the Better.
There is no particular gain in keep
ing the hogs fat during the hot wealth
en- If they can be kept in a good,
thrifty condition a very short time Of
heavy feeding will be all that is neces-
sary TO get them ready for market,
And a fat animal can hardly be made
comfortable while the weather is so
warm.
It is very often the case that hogs
that are ready for the market reasona-
bly, early in the fall not only sell at Il
better price, but returna better profit.
II they have been kept gaining stead
lily all summer and all in a good con
dition they can be fattened in n short
time and at less cost than later. They
can still get the benefit of a good
pasture and will keep healthier and
will require less food to fattcn than if
they must depend upon dry feed alone,
Plenty of grass is usually one of the
healthiest and best feeds for any kind
of stock, and while in f~attening hogs
for market considerable grain must be
supplied, allowing them the run of Il
good pasture will help materially to
lessen the cost. Corn is the principal
material usually for ~fattcning hogs,
yet it should not be made an exclusive
food or the hogs will tire of it and
fail to make as good a gain as can be
secured if more variety is furnished.
When grass and bran slop have been
largely depended upon to keep in a
good condition it will be found best TO
begin feeding corn, gradually incrcas-
ing the quantity every day until they
are supplied with all they a eat up
clean. TO make a change of food all
at once from a light, open feed, as
grass and slop to corn, which is very
f~attcning, and is in addition heating
and co~nstipating, will produce more or
less disorder in the digestive organs
that should be avoided.
In %fattcning stock of any kind it is

there will be as little waste as possible,
Feeding more than they will cat up
clean is Il waste, fully as much as not
to feed enough. 1t is not the quality
food that an animal eats that is Of
the most benefit. 1t is always an item
