THE POULTRY YARD.
a Few suggestions.

Daily outdoor exercise or free range
is the best advice we can give those who
want fertile eggs and strong chickens.
The past winter has been favorable for
all kinds of poultry; the fowls have
been out on the bare ground every
week. The non Matching of eggs will
not be as common complaint as last
spring. Hens that lay early usually set
early; some hens are often broody after
laying fewer eggs than others. We
could never succeed in making our hens
sit until they were inclined to do so.
Some of them will sit most anywhere,
while others will sit standing if re-
moved from their accustomed seat.
Last month we had a pullet that was
laying on an exhibition coop In the hen
house. Becoming broody, she would
not set where We wanted her to. SO We
gave to her whims, and let her have
twelve eggs to lncubata IN nest of hay
on the cloth on top of the coop. She
came off to eat about every time any
thing good was in order; still she
Matched eleven of as healthy chickens as
we ever saw. She was stubborn, yet she
knew her own business better than We
did.
The best feed for young chicks is
bread and milk mixed with a dough
made from corn and cat meal well
cooked. If they get all they will eat of
this feed five times a day at regular in
tervals until they are five or six weeks
old, you need not worry as to their
growth. Wheat we'll soaked in boiling
water is good for change. The chicks
Matched before the warm weather do the
best; they will endure the cold better
than the heat of summer.-Fdrm, Field,
and StOckmaR.

other cold water to undergo similar
treatment. The reason for applying tho
salt in the first instance is that GAIT
coagulates the albumen still clingiu1 to
the granules after drawing off the but-
termilk, and thus renders it soluble in
water, and as the water is drawn off the
albtimen. being dissolved, comes with it,
This kind of washing should be re-
peated until the water comes away as
clear as crystal. Some have argued
against washing butter at all on the
ground, as they contend, that it takes
away the flavor. But this is a mistake.
1t is the retention of portion of the
bhttermilk that does the damage. caus-
ing decomposition, as it does and con-
sequently destruction of the flavor. 1t
stands to reason, therefore, that the
more effectually the buttermilk can be
removed the less danger of the loss of
flavor. Not only SO, but there is not one
buttermaker in ten who can work cut
the tutterliilk effctually without seri-
ously injuring the grain of the butter
it is for this reason that the best butter
makers ofth present dav aim to work
their butter as little as possible. They
want the grain of the butter preserved
in all its integrity, and this can only be
done by efectual washing; To accom-
plish this, therefore, the churning
should stop the moment these little
segregated masses or granules make
their appearance, when the buttermilk
should be drawn of, and after the APP
plication of salt for the purpose of
coagulating whatever aibumen may still
remain in the churn, cold water applied
as above directed. Butter treated in
this way will require but very little
working barely enough to gather it in
form and distribute the necessary salt
evenly through the mass-and its keep
ing qualities be much improved

THE APIARY.
Apiary Notes.

ALMOST everybody can get bees of
some sort near home; and all you have
to do is to get such a queen as you want,
by mail; and queens are carried by mail
safer and quicker than hives of bees,
even by express.
IT is always best if you find that a
colony has nearly finished case of sec
tions, aid then have done but very little
for two or three days, to remove it al
once and give them case of empty sec
tions, as they might not finish it in
several days.
SORGHUM molasses will do for spring
feeding whenever the bees fly freely;
that is, providing the bees Will pay any
attention to it. Unless the quality of
the sorghum is quite good, and no
honey of any sort is to be had in the
fields, bees will seldom work on it.
G.. NJ. DoOLITTLE, In answer to the
question, What price ought to be paid
for a colony of Italian bees in a NOV
able frame hive?" says in Gleanings.
Much depends upon the season of the
year, and the condition of the colony.
They are usually sold at ffosn 81 to Sc in
the fall and from IS to flo in the
spring. The reason for the difference
in price is that, of late years, there
seems to be much risk in yintering,
nearly seventy-fve per cent of the bees
throughout all the United States being
lost during one or two of our worst VIM
tiers, while the average loss for the past
fifteen years has not been much less
than twenty per cent. If ten or more
colonies are purchased of one party, the
price should not be above the lowest
figures given, for each colony. In an
average season, and in favorable local
ity, such a colony of bees should give
fifty pounds of honey, besides one good
swarm. The honey would readily bring
10 cents per pound, or S., and the swarm
should be worth 81 without the hive, in
the fall, which would nearly give the
purchaser his money back, even if he
lost the old colony, or 80 per cent. of
his bees, during the next winter.

OLD JONES Is DEAF.
LOUISE CHANDLER MouLr

I sat Ia my window, high overhead,
And heard them say, below in the street.
Il suppose you know that old Jones is dead?
Then the speaker passed, and l heud tneir
feet
Heedlessly walking their onward way.
"Dead!' What more could there be to sayP
But sat ard pondered what it might mean
Thus TO be dead when the world went by,
Did Jones SEQ further than we have 9een2
Was he one with the stars in the watching SKY 7
Or down there under the growing grass
Did he hear the feet of the daylight pass
Were day time and night tire one to him now
A kiss on his lips or a hand on his brow,
Could he feel them under the churchyard
mold
As he surely felt them his whole life long,
Though they passed with his youth-time hot
and strong?
They called him "old Jones' when at last he
died
"Old Jones' he had been for many year;
Yet his faithful memory time defed
aid dSelt in the days distant and dear
When first he found that love was sweet.
And rocked not the speed Of its hurrying feet.
Does he brood in the long night under the sod
On the joys and sorrows he used to know;
Or. far in some wonderful world Of God,
Where the shining seraphs stand, row on row,
Does he wake like a child at the daylight 8
CLEAN,
And know that the past was a nights short
dream?
Is he dead, and clol down there below;
Or dead and wiser than any alive;
Which? An, who of may know.
o. who can say how the dead folk thrive?
But the summer morning is cool and sweet,
And hear the live folk laugh in the street.

Poultry Notes.

SET the hens at night.
SUNSHINE is better than medicine.
NEVER set hen where others can get
at her.
SAVE the best birds for next year S
breeding, and send the others to mar
ket.
OLD ducks never get lice. The oily
nature of their feathering prevents YER
min.
Now THAT the warm days are APP
preaching, give the fowls fresh water
twice day.
THE French have over eighty ways of
cooking fowls, and 115 methods OF
cooking eggs.
LET the old and young fowls have as
large range as possible, the larger the
better.
Do NOT keep bantam fowls around
with other stock. They are too pug
nacious and cause trouble in camp.
Don't breed too many kinds of fowls
at the same time, unless you are going
into the business. Three or four Will
give you your hands full.
THE Wyandotte is a quiet, docile bird,
and a good winter layer. They are not
quite as easily raised as the Plymouth
Rocks, but this may be overcome In
time.
WHEN you discover hen pulling
feathers out of the others, it is best to
chop her head off. 1t is bad habit,
and if permitted to keep on she will
soon teach the rest.
In buying birds or eggs, go to some
reliable breeder who has his reputation
at stake. You may have to pay little
L, ore for birds, but you can depend on
what YOU get.

THE STOCK-RANCH.
Wedding Out the Calf Crop.

The first four weeks of a calfs life
will determine whether it can be grown
into profitable beef animal or not. If
the calf at the above age shows that it is
capable of making thrifty growth, with
well developed back and quarters, it is
very likely to maintain that tendency
through life and will make a profitable
beef animal unless badly managed. On
the other hand if calf at four weeks
old does not show growth with we'll de-
veloped beef points no amount of food
and care are likely to make anything but
a scrub animal out of it. In these days
vf low prices no farmer can afford to de-
eelop scrub steer. Every pound of
food they eat is so much wealth de-
stroyed, therefore as matter of econ
omy the calf crop ought to be weeded
out. This can be done protitably by
turning the calf with its dam for a
couple of weeks. 1t will then make q
tolerable veal which viii bring from
four to six dollars. That is nearer q
profit out of bad calf than can be got
ten any other way. If it is inconvenient
to turn the calf with the COW he can be
knocked in the head, bled, and the
hide, if properly taken off, will pay the
service fee of good bull which is in
surance against a next year scrub.
Whatever method may be adopted for
disposing of the unthrifty calf be sure
to get rid of him in some way before he
knocks the profit out of the entire year
crop.-ETchdRge
