THE POULTRY-YARD.
Poultry Notes.


DRY place is the proper place for
grain.
POULTRY like an occasional feed of
barley; have you any to feed them2 If
you have feed a little.
Fowls that are overfed are not
healthy, neither Will they lay eggs regu-
larly. Some farmers feed too much,
and, what is worse, don't know it.
Fowls to be healthy and in good lay
ing condition should not be overfed.
The value of bran, potatoes, cabbage,
carrots and turnips mixed with mid
dlings, barley meal, and corn meal is
only known to an experienced poultry
man.
IT is unreasonable to expect hens to
lay in cold weather when you do not
feed them heating food nor try to shut
out dampness from their laying house.
Show US damp house, we will pick out
rOup from the fowls, and bad cases too.
IT is Just as easy to start a flock of
ducks this spring as to do without them;
certainly it Will pay you and not take
much of your time either. Young ducks
reach five pounds at ten weeks old, and
will thrive on food that would kill
chicken. Like every fowl, they pay
best when we'll fed and cared tor.
ROUP is a mean disease and kills many
valuable fowls every year. An ointment
made of one tablespoonful each of lard
and kerosene and twenty drops of car
bOlic acid, melted together and applied
twice a day with the finger on the
the part affected Will cure. If you have
never tried this it is worth q trial.
DON'T believe it if your neighbor tells
you that keeping good poultry does not
pay. You can set it down as a fact that
he never took the time to test them;
even his barnyard stock would be a long
time dead if it was not for his faithful
wife who feeds them and keeps his
table supplied with fresh eggs and nice
brOiIers. We are glad to say the ma
jOrity of farmers do not think this way.
This spring Will see a lot Of them fall
ing into line and breeding good stock.

theory that pIGcKing geese and ducks
while alive is necessarily cruel bUsi-
ness. It may be if done at the wrong
time, which no experienced pOulterer
would do. If left unplucked IN spring,
the feathers on geese and ducks natur-
ABLY come out, or become so loose that
they are pulled out by the birds them
selves in making nests. At this season
they can be pulled without any injury
to the skin, and the birds feel all the
better for their relief from superfuous
clothing. New feathers come and are
ready to pick easily in about six weeks.
When cold weather comes on the feath-
ers do not become loose until winter is
past, and warm weather prepares for
change of clothing.

should be used again only for the same
purpose. Turkey and chicken fats,
when fresh and out of a young, healthy
fowl, are as nice as butter for cooking
uses.
If the cakes and cookies cling too low
ingly to the pans In which they are
baked, before using the tins again rub
them we'll with salt.
When baking gInge or cookies,
a slight busting OF Hour IN the bottom or
the tan viii enable the cakes to leave
the pan as we'll as If butter or other
grease were used, ana is oIIen more
practicable; when the oven heat is such
as to burn articles intrusted to is the
cOating of -four Will help to save
them.
Where their use in crOquettes is not
desired, left-OYers from steaks, ham, bits
of aeon and other cold meats may be
tOOJnsOmely used by chopp1ng hnely,
adding little butter, salt and pepper, or
other seasoning according to taste, a
shrinking of -four and a tablespoonful
or more of water. Heat and pour over
hot, buttered toast which has been ar
ranged upon platter; in the center Of
each slice and upon the minced meat
drop q teaspoonfUI OF cUrrGnt or grape
jelly and imme diately serve. If tOma-
toes or other salad is eaten with this
dish the Jelly is not required.
A frugal dish which will be to many a
pleasant surprise is that Of fresh beans
and potatoes cooked together. Break
the snap or wax beans and boil rapidly
in sailed water until within ten minutes
Of being tenders Then add to them
potatoes cut small enough to require the
remaining ten minutes for their cooking.
When both are DONE pour OF the water
and dress the vegetables with milk,
creamed or not, as is liked, butter, lit
tie more salt and pepper. To those
cooks who suffer from limited stove
room this manner Of combining such
wholesome vegetables viii, we trust, be
helpful.
Wise housekeepers always save the
bread crumbs. Lazarus certainly would
not starVe with for his portion the
crumbs that are left from the bread-cut-
ting of large families, where, especially
with people Of moderate means, the
members lean heavily on the staff Of
life"
Sour cream may be probably used in
mashed potatOes.-GOOd housekeeping.

Hints TO HouselseeDers.

HAM should be brOiled very quickly,
and just enough to cook through.
TIN cleaned with paper Will shine bet
ter than when cleaned with flannel.
FLOWERS can be kept fresh for some
time if a pinch of soda or saltpeter is
added to the water. Wilted roses will
regain their freshness if dipped a min
ute or two in hot water.
CHEESE which will instantly and in
tensely redden blue litmus paper should
not be eaten. This is test easy of ap-
plIcatIOn, and every merchant on cut
ting a fresh cheese should make it. If
the cheese is dry, bit of it should be
mOistened with water and the litmus
paper then applied.
BOILED oustard requires patience and
care. If the eggs reach the boiling
point, they Will break, and yet if they
do not reach it within one or two de-
gress, the custard Will not thicken, and
will taste raw, and lack the exquisite
thick smOOthness of we'll made custard.
To produce this, yet avoid curding,
therefore, patience, and proceed as fol-
lows; Stir the mixture over n moderate
fire. When you see from the end of the
spoon that it begins to thicken at the
bottom draw it to a cooler spot where it
will not boil, stir half a minute, then
return to the hotter spot. DO this sew
eral times, checking the approach to
boiling point each time there is danger,
until the whole of the mixture has
reached that point which may be known
by it being rich, thick, ands perfectly
DDaoue.

The Season for Grapea

The introduction of new varieties OF
grapes has greatly heightened the sea-
son for this fruit. 1t has made it longer
at both ends, especially for late keep
ing. Forty years ago Isabella and
Catawba were about the only grapes
known to succeed in the Northern
States, and over great section of the
country neither would ripen perfectly
one year in five. The Introduction of
early grapes was the first demand. Most
of these were of foxy or musky favor,
but their earliness covered multitude
of minor imperfeCtiOns- Il was thought
a wonderful thing to have grapes that
would Iipen every season, however poor
IN quality. In time new varieties We're
introduced free from some of these OBJ
jectiOnable 1avOrs, and which yet would
ripen every year. The crossing of
foreign grapes on the wild natives was
made by E. S. Rogers, of Salem, Mass,
and these Rogers Hybrids, as they were
called, opened new era of Grape grow
ing Some of these varieties are very
early, and nearly all viii ripen where
Isabella and Catawba viii not. The
Wilder, Barry, Agawam, and Salem
grapes are also excellent keepers, the
three first named especially. We have
seen the Wilder grape in good enting
condition the last of April, and have
kept the Agawam and Barry nearly as
long. Where the C8taWba will ripen
that also is a good keeper. 1t is es-
sential to good keeping that the grape
be ripe when put up. Ripe grapes have
a proportion Of sugar which helps to
preserve them. Grapes not fully ripe
are apt to mould or ferment, q o matter
how carefully they may be kept.

Rye for Ensilage.

O. B. Potter, of New York City, writes
in the HUsbG1dmG41 an interesting let
ter about rye for ensilage. He finds the
chief difficulty with rye is that if cut
early, as it should be to be of good
flavor, it is too wet and needs an absorb
ent. For this purpose he recommends
dried clover cut fine, and mixed SO that
the whole mass will be equally moist.
Then it can be compacted, and viii be
easily preserved if properly covered.
Mr.. Potter finds that rye cut for ensilage
is an excellent preparation in seeding to
grass. The cutting is done in May, just
when the young rye needs sun and air
to make strong growth. By leaving
the first joint next the ground uncut a
new growth springs up, from which he
has often harvested One-half to two
thirds of a crop of grain, with proper
tionate straw, which is excellent for
bedding. To seed timothy with rye for
ensilRge is the best method of securing
a certain and strong stand of grass, and
without loss of the use of the land while
1t was growing.

are that it is larger than Fameuse, and
