found on the bar proper from fifteen to
sixteen feet of water at mean tide, but in
one bend in the channel inside the bar,
for short distance, there was place
where he found less than that, but he
says that it is capable of Improvement

w ater for Fowls.

One of the great sources of sickness
among fowls is the lack of pure, whole
some drinking water. Especially is this
the case in this State during nine
months Of the year. The yards are sup
piled in the early morning, and as rule
the water fountains are exposed at some
time i'll the day to the direct rays OF the
sun and the contents are brought nearly
to the boiling point. AS the fowl is fre-
quent drinker from twelve to sixteen
times daily-they drink of this warm, al
most hot water, and this causes fowl COM
plants, and it finally reaches point
is affected, and the keeper pronounces it
cholera. Now is the season to expect such
trouble if you are careless.
Impunity and neglect in feed and water
during hot weather are the parents of dis
ease. To have healthy birds, see that
they have first pure, fresh water and at
all times wholesome food. Unless you are
willing to take extra precautions during
this and next month you had better feed
whole grain instead OF any soft food and
water twice day-early in the morning
and again at 2 p. m.
Ducks want fresh water every time they
are fed, unless they have access to a run
ming stream. and the last thing at night.
After the evening meal they fill themselves
with water, and it should be clean and
cool, if you expect them to be healthy.
Water for fowls is as necessary to sue
cess as it is to grow vegetables on our
dry, porous soils. A neglect in either case
is a failure EVA

Ensilage for Poultry.

1t is now admitted that hens may be
wintered cheaply by the use of ensilage
as well as other stock, and that small
silo or barrel or hogshead may be used,
in which ensilage may be stored. Any
kind of green food will answer, such as
corn leaves, grass of all kinds, vegetable
tops, etc. All green material used should
be nearly matured; thatis, itshould becut
just when the seeds are about to form,
but do not wait till the seeds are nearly
ripe This is to secure a food of the best
quality, as very young plants abound
largely in water. Fill the silo and press
the material down; fill to the top and
put on the cover. The cover must be a
little smaller than the top of the silo, so
as to permit it to descend when weighted
Upon the cover place stones or other
weights, which will pack the material close
and tight. More material may be added
until the silo is full All material used
in length. When wanted for use it will be
found packed so closely thatan implement
OF some kind will be required to loosen it
for removal. We give the mode here that
some of our readers may try it. If the
poultryman can save ahogshead of green
food in this manner it will aid him great
ly in feeding during the winter, and will
enable him to secure more eggs, while the
health OF the fowls will be promoted -

Two farmers brought in some eggs to

eggs and proud of the birds that laid
them. He had flock of fine Plymouth
Rocks, and the eggs they laid were beau

ounces, an average of three and one-fourth
ounces each. The other farmer brought
in his eggs without saying a word; had
nothing to say of them or the fowls that
laid them. dozen of his eggs weighed
twenty-one ounces, an average of one and
three-fourths ounces each. Both lots
were carried to the rear of the store by
clerk and counted, and each man got a
cent apiece for his eggs AS he of the
small eggs passed bystander in
going out, he winked knowingly and said:

Oat Meal for Poultry.


Oats are cheap and can be procured in
the ground condition or ais whole grains.
They are most serviceable when ground,
but contain quite large quantity OF
refuse. The better plan offeeding ground
oats is to sift them, using the finer pOr
tions for chicks and the coarser parts for
grown stock. But, in feeding such ma
terial, some care is necessary or damage
will be done in causing the crops to be
come bound, and while the Oat meal is
very nutritious, something else must be
given with the coarse material.
In feeding young chicks nothing is bet
ter than oat meal. Take one pint of oat
meal, one pint of corn meal, half pint
Of fine bran (shipstuff) and add enough
milk, buttermilk, whey or clabber to
make it of rather stiff consistency, and
then add sufficient boiling water to heat
it through, provided it is not made too
soft Before adding the milk, mix with
the dry meal spoonful of ginger, red
pepper and pulverized cOpperas, and three
teaspo onfuls of ground bone, linseed meal
and ground oyster shells. Mix the whole
thoroughly, and feed to young chicks
morning, noon and night as much as they
will eat up clean, and they will have a
perfect food,-grow, keep healthy and be
but little subject to disease. At noon
give them as much wheat as they will eat,
or give cracked corn one day and wheat
the next. The coarse parts of the oat
meal should be mixed as follows: One
part oat meal, one part bran and two
parts corn meal Add to each quart of
the mixture tablespoonful of ginger,
teaspoonful of pepper, copperas and salt.
Now add half cupful of linseed meal,
half a cupful of ground bone and half a
cupful of oyster shells. Mix with milk or
hot water, and feed it to the adult fowls
in the morning. At night give whole
grains. 1t is not necessary to feed adult
fowls at noon, unless it be green stuff. A
little meat should be given with the soft
food whenever it can be done, but the
milk, linseed meal and oat meal al e good
substitutes, as they contain nitrogen
largely.
