One Way to Feed Hens.

For about one hundred hens cut in
the hay-cutter peck of rowen as fine
as possible, and on this turn pailful
of boiling hot water, cover closely and
allow to steam until the grass is soft.
This tea, which is dark and strong with
the juice of the rowen, is used to mix
the breakfast, which consists of two
thirds fine feed and one-third corn meal
in which two quarts of beef-scraps are
stirred. This mixed stiff and fed warm
is an excellent breakfast for laying
hens, and by the time it is eaten the
rowen may be given on the feed-board
and will be taken greedily. If this
warm breakfast and green dessert is
given between seven and eight in the
morning, the next meal of the day may
be dinner and supper together between
three and four in the afternoon. l give
a WATERFALL full of wheat and cracked
corn for this meal. The floor of the
house should be covered with three or
four inches of dry sand so that the
fowls may scratch for their grain. This
is good bill of fare for most days in
winter, but it may be varied by giving
boiled potatoes, apples, cooked vegeta-
bles, mangels, cabbage, oats or buck
wheat. Whatever is given should be
done with system and as regularly as
possible for no stock can do well when
attended to at irregular times.-H. C.

THE STOCK OF SEEDS.
No Economy In POstponing the Purchase
n IT of u Good Supply.

No Economy In POstponing the Purchase
It!t of Good supply.
It is best to ascertain what seeds are
needed in good season. There is no
economy in delaying, while there IS
considerable risk Of not getting e4-
acty what is wanted inEtime to plant.
With number of crops, both in the
garden nnd field, it is important to
plant as early as the condition of the
soil will permit, and having the seed on
hand ready to use when needed is one
essential in doing this.
With many varieties of seed it will
be best to test carefully before risking
the crop with them. and if this is done
it will be necessary to get them early,
SO that if they do not turn out well
new seed can be purchased. Grass
and clover seed are usually sown first;
after that oats and fax. In the gar
den onions, lettuce, peas, radishes,
beets, kale and cabbage should be sown
as soon as the soil can be worked into
good filth. With onion. especially il
is necessary to plant early for
good growth. and yield. II
will not answer to wait until
the seed are wanted and then
run the risk of not getting them
in time. In many cases, in addition to
the advantage of having the seeds on
hand ready for use, they can be pur-
chased somewhat cheaper than they
can just before planting time. There
is also the risk of not getting exactly
the variety you prefer. 1t has been
thoroughly proven that varieties that
are best in one locality are not always
best in another; and in making out th>
list of seeds the main dependence
should be placed upon varieties that
have been well tested. 1t is always a
good plan, when it cal be'done proper.
ly, to try few novelties in order to as
certain their value, but the main plant
ing should be of varieties that have
been well tested in that locality, for
change of soil and conditions of growth
will affect very materially the results.
This applies to all kinds of crops,
whether in the garden or field. and in
many cases to fruits as well. Get good
seed, get them in season and test suf-
iciently to ascertain their vitality, and
as far as possible make all the provis
ions necessary to sow or plant in good
season.--St. Louis Republic. '"|

How to Treat Seed Potatoes.

Perhaps there would be no ha nm done
if / should tell you how l would treat
a barrel of potatoes worth So per
pound. First, l would pack them in
half-bushel fiat boxes and place them
in the coolest part of my cellar, airing
them every three or four weeks and ex-
aiming them. About the first OF
March, as soon as sprouting begins,
would spread out in even layers and ex
pose them to light. Last of March or
first of April l would divide them into
halves and plant in a cold frame, cover
ing about two inches Then as they
grew and rooted, l would pull the slips
and plant them in thoroughly pre-
pared soil, the same as sweet potatoes.

Grind down until it is three-quarters of
an inch from point to point, leaving the
edge concave. It is plain that in press
ing into the soil any root coming in
contact with the trowel between the
two points is readily severed. This
does not in the least detract from the
common use of the implement, but
greatly adds to its usefulness. Should
the concave surface be kept sharp it
