POULTRY IN WINTER.

The Effect Of Close Confinement ON the
Production Of Egg.
There is . larger profit from poul-
try. in proportion to tho amount OF
capital invested. than from larger
stock or crops. and the winter season
is the best for securing the largest
profits. At the present day the fowls
are regarded as something moro than
accidental adjuncts" on q farm. and
receive greater attention than for
merly, the tree-tOps and fences being
no longer the only roosting-places.
and they are not compelled to sock
their food in the cold weather. With
the use of the poor breeds some have
managed to make large profits from
poultry on small locations, and as
poultry and eggs are always in dc.
mand. the results are satisfactory
wherever the hens have been made
speciality.
One of the causes of q lack OF eggs
in the winter season is that the fowls
are fed on too much grain, and do not
have that exercise SO necessary for
their thrift and comfort. From the
former extreme of allowing the birds
to ..shift for themselves" they are now
too closely confined, and do not receive
the food necessary for the production
of eggs. There is more injury done
by feeding grain exclusively than from
any other cause. The laying hen
should not be allowed to get into fat
condition. In fact hens intended for
the market should be separate from
the layers, rs the food for one class
should not be the same as for the
other. The first essential is warm. dry
quarters. and the next is variety OF
food. The hen must have bulky food.
like animals. and can not keep in good
condition on grain alone. An ex-
celent mode Of feeding is to
chop clOver-hay into half-inch
lengths, scald it. sprinkle the mess
with bran, and feed it twice a day,
with an ounce OF meat three times per
week to each hen. Such n mixture
will be much better and cheaper than
giving them nothing but grain. The
hens should also be given q scratch
ing-place (cut straw or dry earth). into
which handful of grain is thrown, so
as to induce them to scratch and work.
As eggs are highest in winter, and
the cost of production lower compared
with the price, the management OF a
large flock of hens will give employ
ment to some who would otherwise be
idle during the winter season. and the
labor is. therefore, only applied from
necessity; but a flock OF one hundred
hens can be made to pay one hundred
dollars before the season for low prices
arrives, while q larger sum may be
secured with artificial modes Of rails
ing broilers for the market. The hens
will afford an opportunity to many for
winter work il advantage be taken Of
opportunities and favorable location.

Keeping Sweet Potatoes.

We are inclined that it is better to
keep potato at SO low temperature
through the winter and spring that
there will be no starting Of sprouts
before planting. and let the growth Of
sprouts be wholly an underground pro-
duction. 1t is q pretty fine piece Of
work to handle a potato with sprouts
upon it, and get it covered without in
jury to these little bud-sprouts. II
injured it must die back. to

growth of often four sprouts from
this eye, instead OF one strong
one, and we get a bunch of stalks
where we only want one strong one.

had not sproutcd at all when it arrived

MT. HOLLY N. J., May 22.-The long
deferred action against the justices Of
the peace and other committing -magis-
trates throughout Burlington county
who have neglected to pay over to the
county collector the amount of fines re-
ceived by them from various sources
will now be made in day or two, and
there promises to be lively shaking up
among the Dogberry officials, many Of
whom, it is alleged, have pocketed all the
monies received by them, made no re-
port of the same, and kept no record, so
that it is difficult to determine the
amount involved. A record is kept at
the Office of the county collector of all
the monies received from justices of the
peace in the way of fines and the total
amount for the past seven years will not
exceed $500, when it should have been
ten times that amount. Most of the fines
received by Justices are from drunk and
disorderly cases. The board of free
holders has made number of attempts
to investigate these accounts, and now,
with the assistance of an expert, they
propose to leave no stone unturned.
