Good Food is Essential.

Farmers, you may as well try to make
gold chain from rats tail as to try
to make profits from half poultry or
other stock. No man can raise poultry
and make it pay unless he feeds it we'll
Many farmers feed their hens about one
half what they need through the winter,
and in the spring as soon as the snow is
off the birds arelet out to get their own
living until snow comes again. If they
get into the garden and scratch little
they are shut up and almost starved
This is not the way to have good poul-
try and make it pay. Feed your hens all
they will eat of different kinds OF grain
and give them fresh water to drink every
day through the winter, and the spring
they will shine like new dollars. Don't
stop feeding because the snow is gone.
Continue to give them all they will eat
up clean, let them have free range and

ressed, it becomes as tractable as mud in
the hands of the potter To the progress
sive and would be wealthy poultry keep
er it is an indispensable piece of furni-
ture, and the sooner he enters into close
communication with one, wins it's conf
dence and learns to diagnose it's peculi-
arities, the earlier will he get upon the
turnpike to opulence and severity.
The incubator, according to the au-
thority quoted, needs and must have a
house especially constructed for it. This
house need not be large nor expensive.
but it must have climate in it's interior
that is very equable. To secure this de-
sirable end, the walls and roof must
be double and have the space between
packed with some non-conducting mate
rial, like finely chopped straw, hay or
chaff. 1t should also be provided with
double window, so placed that the light
can fall directly upon the front of the ma
chine, or machines. The entrance should
be through another building, or through
double or storm doors. A good ventilator
is q necessity, and it should be SO arranged
that it can be partly or entirely closed, as
found necessary.
To aid the beginner is herewith pre-
sented a sectional view of one end of
Matching house. F F are foundation
stones. Xxx x are 2x6 pieces to which
the outer and inner walls are nailed. Raft
ers are same size. Dead air spaces in
walls and roof are filled with finely cut
straw, hay or chaff, which is every whit
as good for this purpose as sawdust,
while it does not gather dampness. If
the inner wall is lined with building pa
per, so much the better. w is double
window in the side of the building. V,
ventilator to open and close. The ends
of the building are made same as the
sides. If not over twelve feet long, no
ties are needed. The ends will prevent
any spreading. AS may be seen, the
whole affair can be constructed in Sec
tions and put up afterward.

Great mistakes are often made in try
ing to economic. 1t is a safe rule to
follow that the best is always the cheap
est. A cheap physician may cost " u
your life. If you have Malaria in your
system, you will not only be miserable,
but unfit to work. Lost time is money
lost. One dollar spent for Shallenber-
gers Antidote will cure you in twenty
four hours. Sold by Druggists.

Poultry Secures Recognition.

Three cheers for the poultryman. We
quarters-the first time in our recollec-
tion that the government has given the
subject OF poultry any attention, unless
it was in investigating poultry diseases
several years ago.
We are now promised an extra bulletin
on the subject of poultry and dairy COM
bined; and we shall look with interest
for the first report. If the numerous let
tiers of inquiry are any indication we
should say, that people in our fair State
are waking up to the Importance OF sup
plying our home demands at least, which
we fall short of doing at present.
In a recent letter I spoke of clover
hay from New York for my fowls. | find
it very sweet and relished highly by the
fowls; so much so that l am increasing
the rations, more and more-feeding less
ground grain and bran.
There is one point about feeding both
desiccated fish and clover that Ihave not
mentioned To those who sell eggs to
hatch, it is a necessity, for the eggs are
more fertile and the chicks stronger when
Matched; and this is an important item
to any one who raises his own stock
11c,h ou n
range these are not absolutely necessary.
**x
Thave been using beach shell to grind
for my fowls, until last week, when [ con-
cluded to try pressed oyster shells, think
ing they would contain more animal
matter, but was disappointed in them
for I find them so soft as to be worthless
as grinding material, and shall resort
hereafter to shells gather on the beach.
1t is surprising how many flock of 400
will eat, especially ducks. want no
better proof that they are indispensable
to fowls in confinement than the reason
of their being so greedy for them.
