A Boys Success with Poultry.

l have boy twelve years old who has
taken considerable interest in poultry.
Having a hennery on the farm, | made
an arrangement with him last year by
which rented him the building and
gave him the use of the fowls then on
hand. He took the entire care of them,
buying his feed, in order to ascertain if
there was any profit in the business.
The first year he deposited S25 in the
savings bank. The next year he had
at least $50 worth of hens, and put
another S25 in the bank. In the morn
ing the food consists of potatoes or tur-
nips, cooked or chopped fine, and scraps
from the kitchen, with a little meal.
He also provides plenty of ground bone
and oyster-shells; also fresh water. In
the evening he gives feeding of corn
and buckwheat or corn and oats. He
has obtained during the months of jan
uary and February from 200 hens an av-
erage of two dozen eggs a day. The
heEnery is not warmed artilicially, the
hens creating sufficient warmth. Cor.

Washing the Churn.

1t is curious to note how differently
people 90 at it to wash dairy utensils.
Some wash pans, pals and watts care
fully with cold water, in which is a
little salt or soda; then rinse, and then
thoroughly scald with hot water. 9th
ers pour on boiling water first; some
times rinse with cold water, more often
with the hot. Then there are others
who are not very particular about any
method. The first plan is far superior.
The idea is to get all the milk off and
out of the pals, etc., before scading.
Boiling water seems to cook milk,
cream and butter-milk on to and into
the utensils, and then, like any other
milk substance, there is change soon
that imparts its bad influence to the
succeeding messes of milk. AS between
all hot or all cold water to wash dairy
fixtures, take the latter, with a little
salt, and far better results will fol-
low. The wooden churn had better
stand with good brine in it than be
washed, as many people do, by boiling
all the butter adhering to the inside of
the churn into the wood, instead of
first securing it off with little water
and salt, and then proceeding to wash
Stone churns, unless having a perfect
glazing, soon get the stone walls filed

perfect glazing, and if cream stands in
this churn any length of time it alb
serbs some of this old cream, and the

Massachusetts Agricultural Report.

We are again indebted to our friend,
A. w. Cheever of the New England
Farmer, for copy of the Report of the
Secretary of the Massachusetts, Board
of Agriculture for 1888. 1t is goodly
volume of $50 pages, embracing not
only the proceedings and meetings of
the board (400 pages), but also the
valuable Sixth Annual Report of the
State Agricultural Experiment Station,
in which very thorough work is de-
tailed 10 regard to feeding experiments
with mich cows and pigs, and also in
field experiments with fodder crops,
potatoes, roots, etc. These are illus
trated very instructively by nice photo
engravings. Following these are a
large number of analyses of fertilizers
and fertilizer materials, fodder articles,
fruits and sugar-producing plants, all
of which are of much value for constant
reference in our editorial work, and
make this volume, with its thirty five
predecessors, most useful portion OF
our library of agricultural books. These
state reports on agriculture are becom-
ing each year of greater value, as
bringing together the constantly adj
vancing and most instructive ex,
periences of the best practical farmers
conjoined to the scientific work of the
ablest agricultural chemists, entomolo-
gisls, botanists, etc.

Agricultural Bulletins.

1t is question if the frequent issu-
ing of bulletins from experimental
stations is a safe practice. OF all eX-
periments, those relating to agriculture
require most time for their consumma-
ton and most deliberation in the selec-
ton of methods employed. A weekly
or monthly bulletin must be chronicle
of but partial results, and although its
author may claim no more for it, yet its
statements are too often accepted by
farmers as well-established facts or
principles officially announced. If the
agricultural press circulate it the fact
that the results are incomplete, and
therefore of no account, is, of course,
not mentioned. Premature results are
of no use to the farmer.-NeW England

HOme-Mixed Fertilizers.

Professor Whitcher of the New
Hampshire Experiment Station says
that his experience and that of the
farmers in various paris of the state
have gone far towards demonstrating
that more economical results may be
obtained by the purchase of crude fer.
tilizing waste products and chemicals
than by the use of the many prepared
goods that are to be bought. In con-
siderable number of experiments it has
been found that the increase of corn
and fodder for dollars worth of fer
tilizer applied has been valued at
about $3.50 to 81 with prepared goods,
while mixtures of one-black, muriate
of potash and sulphate of ammonia
have given from 50 to 50 per dollar
invested.

How Sheep Should be Killed.

Cassius M. Clay of Kentucky is an
experienced sheep-raiser. He says:
"Starve the sheep for twenty-four hours
before killing, giving water, however,
plentifully. This empties the stomach
and bowels, and diminishes the ten
dency of infusion. The sheep, all things
being ready, should have the throat
cut all around to the bone, thus bleed
ing it freely. AS soon as the sensibil-
ity of the victim is lost it should be
skinned partly on the headquarters to
save time, then hung up, and the skin
ming rapidly completed, the whole en-
trials being at once taken out. The
flesh is then perfectly sweet and no
wool taste is perceptible."
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1889-06-26

ALWAYS speak to cow before you
begin to milk her, Don't take it for
granted she knows you are going to
grasp her teats; she may have her
head in the Manager, and when you
suddenly catch hold of the teats she
may Jump or kick; then you may yell
at her, or perhaps strike her. That is

BAIL AND CRosSTIE.

Nearly three-quarters of the total railway
mileage of the world is of the standard four
foot eight and a half inch guage. The
total mileage of the world at the close of
1885 wa 303. .046 miles. OF this IA per cent.
was of the above guage, IA per cent. was
narrower, and ~ per cent. was wider than
the standard.
The consolidated monthly returns of rail-
roads in South Carolina for Jauuary, COM
pared with the same month last year, show
total gross earnings of $790, ,610, an increase
of SS1, 1922. The Richmond and Danville
shows an increase of per cent. South
Carolina railway nearly 5 per cent :;
Charleston and Savannah (part of the
Plant systeml, over 90 per cent. North
eastern part Of the Atlantic Coast Line
system) over 18 per cent. OF the twenty
nine roads in the state, seventeen show an
increase and nine a decrease. The net in
crease is SS1, 1927, or H. 46 per cent.
Eighteen of the states of the union have
each over 5000 miles of railway. The
Chicago RdiLtOay Age says: Every new
railroad that comes into existence increases
the number of railway employees, at the
average of probably five men to the mile
Hence the 1900 miles which were built in
1888 have called about SO, 700 new men into
the service. Tn is is an encouraging fact
for railway men and those deslrous of
entering the railway profession to bear in
mind, and is also encouraging to those who
are seeking promotion that the number of
officials of all ranks must continue to
increase. At present the railway officers
and men of the United States form an army
not far from 7S5,O00 strong, and in half a
dozen years or so the number will probably
be swelled to 1000 001"
