FEEDING POULTRY.

The food given poultry in the morning
should be soft food and we'll cooked, and
in cold weather it should be fed when
nearly at blood-heat Cornmeal aud
ground oats, of each one part. and two
parts of wheat bran, makes good food for
breakfast. Cook or scald it, and feed
it dry enough to crumble between the
thumb and fingers; no food should be
given poultry in q clammy or sloppy
state. Season this with salt and pepper
as if for your own table, only making it
pretty hot with pepper in very cold
weather. Have a portion of the floor
covered some six inches deep with straw
and at noon scatter among it some oats,
rye, barley, wheat, and once a week sun
flower seed, and let them scratch for it.
The exercise will be beneficial to them.
Hang cabbage head up so it will be
some two feet or more from the floor :;
they will find way to reach it.
Their evening meal should consist sole
~ of good, sound corn. We say feed
corn at night for two very good reasons :;
it takes corn longer to digest than most
foods, and by feeding your fowls corn at
night they will not be nearly SO hungry
in the morning as they would be were
they fed upon other food; and, again,
corn is a great fat-forming food, hence
a heating one; and as the nights are
colder than the days, and the fowls are
upon their roost, and taking no exercise,
hence whatever will aid them to keep
up the animal heat will be highly bene-
fetal.

GAZE AND PROFIT IN STEEP.

If your sheep pens are not in order,
you cannot repair them and get them in
comfortable condition any too soon.
Sheep need warm, comfortable quarters
so that they will not need to huddle too
close together to retain little warmth.
No open holes or cracks, however small,
should be left for the wind to blow
through and the snow to sift in, making
a cold streak clear across the pen. The
ceiling or roof does not need to be high,
yet good ventilation should be provided
for, while an agreeable temperature Of 50
to 80 degrees is kept throughout the
sheep pen. No cheap rickety concern
will answer the purpose. But how many
really good winter quarters for sheep are
provided? In the recent storms in Colo
RADIO and Texas sheep persisted by the
thousands for want of shelter. They
suffer everywhere from the same cause.
The time is coming when men will better
protect their animals.
The profit on sheep growing does not
all come from one source. 1t IS not con-
fined to the receipts for wool, nor yet TO
what the mutton and young lambs bring
Nor, In the case OF DlOOueu STOCK, Is IL
confined to receipts for animals for breed
ing purposes. Neither is it confined 10
all these three combined. There is value
in the droppings of the sheep. They en-
rich the land wherever they 90, and not
only consume weeds that would other
wise be an increasing nuisance, but they
live on much that would 90 to waste be
cause other animals reject it. With good
fences they give little trouble, because
they attend strictly to business. Ia sum
mer give them a good range, plenty Of
salt and good water, and keep the dogs
AWAY. Beyond these they do no: need

NOVEL WAY OF PRoPAGAT1NG ROSES.

Recently l was conversing with man
who is arose enthusiast, aud he told me
he had strong bushes CT some of the best
hybrid perpetuals upon their own roots,
that he had rooted himself in way
quite new to ne. Having obtained a
suitable shoot, or several of them, they
were placed in an ordinary bottle which
contained some water, and this bottle
was hung upon the wall of the house in
a sunny position and there left, water
being supplied to make up the deficiency
caused by evaporation. In this water,
which often becomes very warm from
the heat of the sun, the cuttings re-
NAMED, and after a short period they
calloused, when they were taken out and
dibbled into pots in the ordinary way,
the formation of the roots soon taking
place.
The above plan was claimed as expedi-
tious, as the cuttings Calloused much
sooner in water than they did in the
soil. 1t is known that many things root
readily in water, and oleanders are fire.
quently propagated in that way, whilst
some Sedum spectabile that have lately
had in a cut state had rooted freely
long before the flowers faded. With the
roses, if cutting is once nicely calloused,
success is almost certainty, and if this
needed state can be brought about by
immersion of the base in water, we then
have simple and valuable aid to rose
propagation, because it is much easier to
preserve alive cutting placed in water
than it is one in the soil during its early
stage Vick's Ndgazine.

A GOOD PLAN OF ROTATION.


A good system or plan of rotation is TO
pillow clover under, and SOW to whea: and
with timothy, followed in the spring
with clover, securing in this way q stand
of grass Cut two crops OF nav. and
pillow up the meadow in the fall, and
plant TO corn tie next spring; then sow
20 oats and clover again. Other crops
can be used or added, with a truck
patch for potatoes, sorghum, beans, cab
bage and this class of crops, with . sup
ply of tree and small fruits, and garden
This will, of course, imply the plow-
ing up OF at least part of the meadow
last year, and planting to corn-And OF
the clover, and sowing TO wheat Part
of the farm should nearly always be in
pasture, If stock Is kept; and IL
the best profit is realized with this sys-
TEN of rotation, sufficient number of
stock should be kept TO consume nearly
or quite all the products. But it is not
always the best plan TO either pillow up
the pasture or the meadow. Properly
managed, these can be kept in grass for
a number of years without change, and
yet profitable crops of grass be realized.
With the meadows especially, it will
be necessary to apply more or less fer
tilizers, in order 10 keep IN a proper con-
dition to make good growth; but this
can be done by applying a good dressing
of we'll rotted and properly fined manure
over the surface. In some cases a good
narrowing that will fine the manure and
loosen up the surface, can be proftSbly
given, and so long as good crops of grass
can be secured it will not b. necessary To
disturb. In many cases a meadow can
be readily thickened up by narrowing
thoroughly and then sowing seed, and
using brush TO cover. The meadow
and pasture ought to pay as good per
cent. of profit as the rest of the farm;
and very important item in this is a
good even stand of grass. And when
this is secured, it is often not best tn
change-at least not as often AS will be
necessary if the meadows and pastures
are made part of regular system of
rotation. Whenever either fail, from
any cause, to yield a good growth of
grass, it will be best TO turn under and
plant to something else, and depend upon
a aew meadow and pasture for grass and
hay. This is especially the case when,
from the texture of the soil, seeding 70
grass either for meadow or pasture is con-
sldered as uncertain.-PrGirie Farmer.

MOnkey-Faced Owls.

David H. Ward, of Client, has been
exhibiting four moDkey-faced owls that
are wonderful curiosities. Mr.. Ward
caught them in the beech woods on Wal
ton Craig's farm, below Client, January
l, and the specimens are marvel to all
of the ornithologists of this Section. The
bird is about the size of barn owl, and
appears to be an admixture of monkey,
owl and parrot. It has the face of mon
key, with large black eyes, and sees as
we'll during the day as the night. It's
beak is like a parrots, and its feathers
and down are like sparrOw-hawk's, only
softer and finer, with little black spots
resting on the top of the feathers. The
body is like that of an owl, and alto
gether its identity is a complete puzzle
to every one. It gives vent to a scream
resembling that of a panther, and can be
heard for two miles. It was their scream
ing at night that attracted Mr.. Ward,
and he thought it was wild animal.
On watching he traced the noise to an
old sycamore tree at the head of Craig's
beech woods, and found two old birds
with three young full-fedged birds. He
killed one of the old ones and broke 8
wing of the other By a shot, and then
had tough fight to capture the young
ones. When disturbed they gave vent to
blowing noise like the kissing of an
old goose. There is only one bird that
we ever heard of that answers its descrip-
ton, and that is a combination of buz-
zard, owl, panther and devil, that is
found in the swamps of Arkansas, and is
known by the euphonious title of "Dry
Skull" It's blood-curdling screams can
be heard for miles, and would cause the
hair on an ordinary mans head to lift
his hat off with its rigidity. No specimen
was ever caught, and it is a rare bird.
Mr. Ward has been offered $500 for his
"pets." He exhibited them here yester-
day, and left for points up the river for
the same purpose. He intends showing
them at the Cincinnati Geological Gar
dens, where they have never seen any
thing like them. Mr.. Ward shot the old
birds at night by moonlight, and caught
the young ones next morning. WarsGao

him. She held out her little mittened
hands to him. Blushing and fearful in
the radiant winter moonlight, her tender
young face smiled down upon him.
Never a word she said. He needed none.

the sleigh.

Just then the door of the school house
was opened. Light billowed mellowly
forth. Those within called to them TO
hurry, that debate was in progress. But
Reuben snatched up his reins, shouted
out laughing refusal and turned his
horses homeward. He was not at ell
timid now. Indeed, it was astonishing
how assertive and masterful he had sud
denly become.

CARE OF HOUSE PLANTS.

Ring geraniums, if not more than six
months or a year old, should never be
ported in more than a five or six inch
pot. Begonias like plenty of water, rich
earth and all the sun they can get, so as
to dry of daily and drink again freely
next morning. Helotropes should be
broken eff at least once 9 week for SIX
months. Break off the last three inches
of each branch's growth, and make q
slip or cutting of it by pulling of the
leaves for two inches, and set this
plucked stem down firmly in the pot.
By so doing with Young heliotrope one
can, in few months, have a mass OF foil
age and a wealth of blooms. ioan
