THE POULTRY YARD.

Selection of the breeding stock
comes under the head of good manage
ment.
-Double-yelked eggs will OCCASION
ally hatch, but there is no economy in
setting them.
-Millet-seed is o good feed for young
chickens, but should only DO supplied
In small quantities,
DO not expect too many eggs to
hatch from setting If shipped any
distance. Ten is more than an average.
This is good time to hatch poul.
try. See that they are we'll cared for
and make good start to grow.
In the spring, especially, quick
maturing fowl will be found quite de-
sirable, and in selecting breeding stock
this fact should not be overlooked.
If Brahmas or Cochins are kept 1t
will. in many cases, pay to make them
forage for part of their living. The
exercise will be very beneficial.
Care should be taken not to in-and-
in breed too closely, as not only will
the quality be lowered, but there is
always more or less risk of deformity in
some way.
-Corn.meal and milk are among the
best materials for fattening fowls, and
can be supplied literally at this season
for regular feeding for any length of
time. A mixed ration will give the
best results.
Watch the hens as they lay, and Sc
lect eggs for Matching from the best
layers. In this way good breed of hens
for eggs can be readily secured. There
is considerable difference in this re-
spect, and it is quite an item to get the
best.

HORTICULTURAL HINTS.

NINE cases out of ten, where variety
If fruit which once flourished in given
soil has ceased to flourish and perfect
fine fruit there. the change is due to the
fact that the soil has become destitute
of the necessary mineral manure.
SEEDS of beets, carrots and parsnips
are slow to terminate. They may be
made to swell and sprout quickly IL
placed in flannel bag and moistened
with warm water daily. Some garden
ers mix the seeds with fine earth before
placing the seeds in the bag.
1T is said that the soil around an old
tree, especially dead one, is unfsvora-
BILE to the growth of young one-proba-
bly, because the soil is exhausted on
some important food element, which
may have caused the death of the old
tree. If a young tree is set in place Of
an old one it is best to remove large
portion Of the old soil and replace il
with new If you want the young tree to
thrive.
