One Plan for Rom,

If the cases are very bad, kill the
fowls and bury them at once. If you
have cured some birds sell or eat them,
for the least inclemency of the weather
Is apt to bring relapse. Cured roupy
fowls are more apt to catch cold than
those who never had it. Add about a
gil OF Kerosene to every gallon of
drinking water, and give to the well
Tow Is to drink. Fumigate the building
by burning sulphur in it. Pour kero-
sene over the roosts and nests. Clean
up the yards and houses and enforce
strict sanitary measures. You will not
only stamp out the old, but will prevent
the new. Fowls will get sick, but two
thirds of the ailments can be prevented
The best poultry doctor is the one that
can prevent disease. 1t is an art, how
ever, and must be learned but after YOU
once know it, it is far easier than cure.

Points in ChurninS.

The chief obstacle in butter coming is
frequently caused by allowing the cream
10 remain In room of changing temper
hture, ranging from freezing up to blood
heat, as Is sometimes the case while it is
awaiting the churning. The cream
should be kept at cool and uniform but
not freezing temperature, and should not
be kept long enough to become bitter
When ready to churn warm it up to
Temperature of about 65 dogs. until it
becomes pleasantly acid. Churn at a
temperature of about 60 dcgs., and don't
add fresh cream to that which is slight
ly acid just as you begin to churn. In
that case the acid of the old cream will
not affect tho new quickly enough for
each to chun in tie same time, conse-
quently good deal OF butter Will be lost
in the buttcrniik.
N.llJ and cream very easily contract
unpleasant odors which Will affect their
Il.yOr. and for this reason the greatest
care should be observed TO keep the milk
room clean and sweet, and use it only
for dairy purposes. Stop churninS as
Boon IS the butter is released and appears
like grains OF wheat. To continue longer
Is to injure the texture of the grains and
give the butter a soft and greasy appear
pnce.

The COWS arc fed on hay and light feed

from the poll Immediately after it was
weighed, and placing in a set OF testing

years weighing of milk from the AYRSHIRE

The herd consists of cows Of various ares

too it is valuable record because it covers

The feed for the first few years was pas
ture one and one-fourth miles from the
barn with a small night pasture near the
barn, no grain or extra fodder, and in win
Ter dry hay and a mixed feed of grain Of
moderate quantity to those giving milk.
OF late the feed has been mostly of wheat
bran beside the hay and pasture and has
been fed the whole year through.
The milk was weighed from each COW

There is no great secret in growing
big crops of potatoes, remarks a farmer
Of experience, "only that you must have
rich soil to begin with. You must pillow
it not only once but twice, and harrow it
a. often rs there is any need of harrow
in@ it. Then plant your seed in drills
three feet apart and open Il furrow be-
tween the rows to run the irrigating
water through. Sink that deep enough
that the water will be lower than the
plant, and do not let the water come in
direct contact with the plant, but let it
reach the tibres by seepage. Run no
water on the ground after the potatoes
have blossomed. Cultivate well and you

well worthy of consideration. Sheep do
not, as rule, require much drinking

sheep should have access to fresh water
or they will eat snow. If they do SO

A NEW FORM OF MANURE.
Statements Made by Peter Henderson Be
fore the Massachusetts, Society.

fore the Massachusetts, Society.
Anything new on the topic of manures
is of interest to gardeners and farmers.
A recent feature is the use of dried peat
moss in place of straw as bedding for
horses in towns and cities. In regard to
this Mr.. Henderson expressed the opinion
that the moss so used is likely to be Of
great valuo to the market gardener, If it
can only be had in sufficient Quantities.
Mr.. Henderson also made the following
statements, which afford desirable in
formation on the subject:
We have had it i'll use in our own sta
bles for about two years, and find it not
only more economical than straw for bed
ding, but its absorbing qualities makes it
of great value for fcrtilizing purposes.
We can buy ordinary straw manure in
our vicinity for 81 per team load, but
we are buying all we can get from sta
bcS whore the moss is used at Sc per
team load, believing it TO he of twice the
value of ordinary straw manure. 1t is
claimed that the source of supply of the
peat moss in Europe is almost mex
haustiblc. and it is now offered by three
or four firms in New York at prices
ranging from Sl2 to $l4 per ton, and it
is hoped competition will bring it yet still
lower. |! Is now used exclusively as bed
ding by some Of our largest horse car
stables and express companies in New
York and vicinity, and one of our largest
livery stable men in Jersey City, who
has been using it for two years, says he
would rather use peat moss for bedding
at Sl4 per ton than he would straw for
nothing, 90 much more satisfactory does
he find it in all respects for his horses.
