THE POULTRY YARD.

Ducks are enormous caters and some
times it is difficult to determine when
they have had enough.
WITH goslings it is important to give
abundant nourishncnt from the start
in order TO secure good growth.
1T is only in exceptional cases that it
can he made profitable to keep poultry
confined on the farm. Give them free
range.
AFTER the first two or three DAYS it
is important that young poultry should
be provided with a good variety of food
in order to maintain healthy growth.
TWENTY eggs is a good average for
geese: they are not nearly SO prolific
layers as ducks, and unless they be-
gin laying very early will lay only one
clutch.
If your chickens are we'll fed SO as to
make rapid growth they ought 10 be
ready to market when they are six
weeks, and at latest when they are two
months old.
THE large breeds are much the best
for capons, and the operation should
oe performed when the coekerels are
two or three months old, although it is
psassibie 20 use older fowls

is placed just far enough forward to
allow this hollow part to rest solidly
against the gauge when in a perpen-
dcular position, as in the engraving,
holding it securely while turning or in
driving to and from the field. To pre-
vent wear 4 piece of strap iron is tackled
across the front end of the seat, and
another on the gauge where it strikes
the seat. The elasticity Of the legs al
lows the gauge to pass the slight swell
on either side. The driver can operate
this without leaving his place, as would
be necessary with other forms, and
when raised both hands are free to use
the lines.
OF course, the distance from the
center of the machine to the center of
of the gauge marker must be exactly
twice that between the centcrs of the
runners. TIE gauge marker is made
comparatively light, II or Is inches
high, and but or 10 inches long, the
object of making it SO high being TO
carry the pole above the runner. This
is rather disadvantages. for it is much
more liable to break by catching on

Praised by Its Designer.
Among the improved farm imp}e-
ments in use by progressive young
farmer of this vicinity is a combined
marker and turnover of his own de-
sign, which he claims to be better
adapted to his use than anything he had
tried before. The runners are cut from
three-inch material, three and one-half
feet long, and ten inches wide. These
are placed at the proper distance apart
and firmly held in position by cross
pieces in front and behind. each end
being notched into the runner and
fastened down with two coach screws
four inches long and three-eighths of
an inch in diameter. Over these cross
pieces, and in the center between the
runners another piece is boited and al
lowed to extend six inches forward and
Z foot or more backward. A "V-shaped'
piece of iron fastened upon this re-
ceives one end of the gauge, which is
firmly braced by three-eighths-inch
rod connecting with a ring bolt at the
forward extremity Of the center-picce,
thus admitting of motion from side to
side only in a perpendicular plane.
This does away with all cords attached
TO the harness, and variation from un-
equal pulling of the team is avoided.

GROWING SWEET POTATOES.
Methods OF Cultivation Practiced By .
Nebraska Farmer.

Nebraska Farmer.
We select q tolerably sandy soil for
sweet potatoes. Some prefer not to
plow the land before ridging, claiming
that the potatoes are shorter and better
formed, but we plotv the land in April
and about May 20 we throw up ridges
by turning the burrows together with
an ordinary plow. Now any time after
rain or during cool spell we set our
plants first raking the top OF the ridge
to remove the clods. We set plants
about twelve to eighteen inches apart
IN the row either making a hole with
them down little deeper than they
grew id the hot bed. In a few days we
lightly rake the top OF the ridge to
break the crust.
When the weeds begin to show we
| use the hoe OF, the ridges and a culti-
vator in the middle. Should the vines
| take root we run hoe handle under
them and throw them over on to the
opposite side Of the row. Now is the
time to get away with any weeds as
the vines are not in the way. In q day
or two the sun will have dried up the
| little roots on the vines. Then turn
| from the other side. We begin digging
| about September l. Should the frost
| strike the vines, they should be cut OH
| just at the top of the ground as If left
on the potatoes are injured. We use
the ordinary spading fork for digging.
| We find it best as the potatoes are not
so badly bruised as when plowed out
and sweet potatoes cannot be handled
too carefully as they rot very easily.
1t is best to market as soon as dug
unless the best of facilities are at hand
for keeping. The seed may be had Of
any reliable scotsman. 1t is much
cheaper to buy plants than to grow
them unless wanted in large auanti-
ties. j. I. Hoppe riley, in Western

LIME FOR POULTRY.
When 1t Is Not Provided Leg Weakness
Is Sure to Appear.

"
Is Sure to Appear.
Complaints of leg-weakness OF fowls,
especially under ordinary farm manage
mcnt, have been unusually frequent
last winter, probably on account of
close confinement due to excess of snow.
Among others is one OF loss of turkeys
of late broods. / never had case in
my flock except among laying hens,
when the supply of shell food was de-
ficicnt and the eggs were not properly
shetled. then supposed the failure OF
the legs to be a secondary effect, due
to the efforts of the fowl to eject the
defective egg. In such case I turned
her on her back and injected a quantity
of oil or soft grease to lubricate tho
egg-duct. I then gave liberal supply OF
shell food. Full recovery generally oc-
CURED in a day or two. l have known
cases of less rapid recovery but never
of actual failure.
suspect I am hardly able as yet to
say 1 believe, that the failure of the
legs may in some of the cases reported
be the direct effect of lack of lime in
the food. The growing fowl fed prin-
cipally upon grain requires q supply Of
carbonate of lime from which to build
up its bony structure, just as the hen
requires it to make egg shells. It is
possible that the effort to properly shell
the egg from insufficient material may
divert the usual supply of lime to that
use. to the detrimcnt of the bones to
such an extent that the legs are no
longer able to perform their function.
Of one thing I am certain-that large,
strong, healthy fowls cannot be pro-
duced without abundant supply of bone
producing food. and if the soil does not
| furnish it other provision must be
! made. The bones are subject to con-
stant waste. like other parts of the
| body. and that waste must be made up
| or they fail. 20. S. Bliss, in n. Y. Trib-

Another improvement of doubtful
general utility. but especially suited to
his case, was made by my neiGhbor-
whose farm is rather hilly. He found
that his marker would slide downhill
despite every effort to keep it on the
proper line, and to remedy this he made
his runners Of two 113-incn pieces
boited together, with piece of 4 cross
cut saw blade at the bottom of each.
extending nearly the entire length of
the runner and two inches below it, as
shown in Fig. 2 lB}. 1t proved 4 sue

much more difficult. and where not alb

omit this feature.

cut out deep but very narrow mortise
in each runner (sec dotted lines in Fig.

forward ends of wrought-iron b,ams,

short distance behind each runner.
Handles are attached TO these beams,
and when turning or driving to and
fro, the beams are th%own forward I'M
til they rest against the front edge OF
the mortise, in nearly upright posi-
ton. The beams should be placed as
low as possible, that they may not in

the mortise allows the escape of any
dirt that NAV fall into it. While Just
