"A mortar, which it is claimed will
stand in all sorts of weather, is made
IT one bushel of unslaked lime and
'hreo bushels of sharp sand, to whic n
added one pound Of alum mixed W: N
one pint OF linseed oil. The alum will
counteract the action of frost on the
mortar.
If food DO not given until after the
usual time, the animal is apt to eat too
asst; the material from the previous
neal has been exhausted, and as q re-
suit vitality is lowered, leading to i'm
perfect digestion and assimilation,
while the stores of the body have been
drawn on to furnish the material ncces-
sary to vital action.
Tho best of us mako mistakes, and
what wonder is it that our boys, with
heir high spirits and their ignorance
II the world, blunder and get into
scrapes pretty often? But it is cause
ii rejoicing if either father or mother

BY lar the greater part of poultry
| diseases are on the outside and theil
names are hen lice and mites and
spiders. The best remedies are buhach
and kerosene. the former to be used on
the fowls and the latter on the perches,
in the nests and in the whitewash.
These two substances give us absolute
control of the insects that infest poul.
try houses, and consequently control
of the so-called diseases resulting from
insects.
Too much corn is used by poultry
men, and not enough wheat, oats,
barley, middlings, bran and green
food Clover rowen for winter use is
valuable, owing to the large percent
age of albumen it contains. Variety
OF food is essential to the well-beins
and productiveress of fowls The
composition Of eggs requires variety
of material, and these constituents are
| found in plain and cheap food of one
kind or another.
There is no diffe renee in feeding
value between white and yellow den
corn. Flint corn. white or yellow
contains a triHe more of oil or fat tina,
the softer dent varieties, but no
enough to make any practical differ
ence in feeding value per pound o.
per ton. Prof Armsby, after careful
trial, finds no app'reciable difference
in feeding values of 100pounds of vel
low or white varieties, or even O
flint Or dent sorts. This being So
and you raise some corn to sell-bette1
plant that that sells the most readil,
in your market for the most money
providing the yield is as much. D.
