scabbY Legs.

Many complain of having fowls Of.
flicted with rough or scabby legs.
This is hardly ever seen on poultry in
a well kept establishment. Its cause.
l am satisfied, is from neglected, I'M
kept houses, where the platform under
the roost is allowed to got loaded with
dPoppings several inches deep, and the
floors are never cleaned up or the soil
renewed, and too often from the intro
duction OF fowls from other houses
where it has been allowed to get a
foothold, for if not looked after and
stopped at the beginning it will soon
go through the flock. To be
free from it, the houses must
be kept clean and sweet in
every particular, both by whitewash-
ing and daily cleaning of the drop
pings from the roost. Rake the ground
over at least once a week, to take up
the accumulation of feathers and ma
nure and bring fresh soil to the sur
face. Saturate the roost with crude
petroleum, and apply the same thor
oughly and often to the logs of the
afflicted fowls. Do not keep fowls over
one laying season, unless they arc
choice ones for breeding, for they are
much more liable to get diseases OF
different kinds, especially this one OF
scabby legs Poultry World.

ance farmers have adopted series of
resolutions aimed at "a doctors trust

Keep the stock we'll watered.
Thirsty stock standing around a dry
trough because somebody forgot to
pump water, is waste of valuable
time.
Ono of our contemporaries advises
farmers to keep all the tools housed.
We have seen farms on which the
weeds indicated that that sort of advice
passed current in that meek of the
woods"
Feed sweet and nutritious food to
the COWS at all seasons of the year.
Musty hay, and off favored food are
not the material out of which to make
good milk and butter.
Give winter protection to the
small fruit. The thing to do is to Sc
lect the best varieties, even if tender,
and then go to the trouble of protect
ing them. Hardy varieties are often
like the scrub COW, tough, but mighty
improbable.
The cause of milk sickness, says
Mr. Benjamin Spradlin, of Kentucky,
is lobelia, which is eaten by the ami
mails. Lobelia, after it has so far ma
tured as to produce seed, will invari-
ably produce milk sickness after it is
eaten.
There is a proper limit to the ex-
ercise of COW. If the pasture is so
everlastingly poor that COW must
travel over ten acres to get enough to
keep her alive, she is getting too much
exercise.
An exchange says that one who
knows says that corn fodder in the silo
occupies but one-ffth of the space il
does in the barn-loft. That there is
but ten per cent. waste in the silo.
while there is thirty per cent. waste
in feeding the fodder in the old style.
1t is best not to think of politics or
your neighbors while milking the COW.
Better pin yourself down to the work
on hand, or you may pinch the teat
and then the COW may kick, and then
you may get mad, and there may be an
Improbable complication all around.
"A dairy may be made up from the
best milk and butter stock on record.
but if treated no more judiciously than
a great many people treat their cows
it will not be source Of profit. Nat
ural capability is valuable only when
furnished with the material with which
to work.
1t should be set down as rule and
strictly adhered to that no noxious
plant should be permitted to mature
its seed on any part Of the farm OF
along any roadside contiguous to the
farm. 1t is the bounden duty of every
farmer to destroy and utterly exter'
inmate the weeds on the road that passs
through or along his farm

The Size of Cotton Bales.


Would 1t not be well for farmers, in
their various organizations, to discuss
the Importance of reducing the size of
the cotton baleP The tendency, in
putting up many commodities for
market, is TO put up in small bulk, as
they are so much easier handled, and
this is very important matter with
cotton bales. Whoever has had to
tug and push bale of cotton out of a
wagon on to a platform knows some
thing OF tho trouble of handling a 800
pound bale; and now most of farmers
who make their cotton have to deliver
it in the market. Let the standard be
200 pounds and let the size be in pro-
portion, and the bale could be made to
look more slightly in market, espe-
cially when we shall cover them with
cotton bagging, for soon we hope that
iute bagging will be numbered with
the things of the past.
When we reduce the bale we can
do away with the cotton hook, which
is nuisance, as it tears the bagging
of bale, causing the cotton to be vast
ed by being pulled off and eaten up by
hungry cows Now, imagine a nice
little bale covered entirely with cot
ton bagging, so no mud or dirt could
get on the cotton, making the tare
less on the bale, and less danger from
fire, so less insurance should be re-
quired. Some kind of grab could
be used that would not tear the
bagging, and hole cut in the
bale could be sewed up after a
sample is taken out of it; then we
should not hear of steamboats, catching
fire in the middle of a river with cot
ton on them, and before they could get
to land, the whole boat enveloped in
flames and many lives destroyed. Jute
is almost as combustible as cotton it
self.
Then why should we not use wire in
stead of ties, as they use wire in baling
hayP and what is to hinder our South
ern iron mills from making the wireP
If we could wrap our cotton with
Southern-made bagging and Southern
made ties, would not this give boom
to our Southern manufacturing, and a
cute way of getting over the tariff
question on these articlesp-Cor. South
