Increase OF Farm Products.

Farm profits will be one billion dol
lars more this year in the United
States than they have been during
the recent years of depression. At
least this is the estimate put forward
by the American Agriculturist' in lis
annual review of the harvests to be
published in the Forthcoming Septem-
Der issue of the magazine On the
basis OF presentprospects this author
ity estimates the corn crop Of 1891 at
1000 900, 600 bushels, wheat 500. 900, 900
bushels and oats go, 00O 600 bushels,
against / 800, 400 and 500, 900. 900 bush
els respectively in 1890 and 100, 442
and 55S, 900, 600 bushels as the average
for the preceding seven years This
makes the total prospective crop Of
corn, wheat and oats 3,122, 900, 600
bushels, or 2S.S per cent greater than
the preceding year and 147 per cent
over the average OF the preceding
eleven years.

Poultry Notes.

Bran Is valuable feed for poultry.
Whole corn is brst fed at night, just
before the fowls go to roost.
Ground coffee, sprinkled on a shovel
OF hot cinders, is good disinfectant
for poultry house.
The too-fat hens is the one that is
laying the soft-shelled eggs.
One fowl with scurvy legs is apt to
impart the disease to others on the
anne roost.
Size, egg production, and early ma
turity;-these are the three cardinal
virtues in the successful poultry es-
tablishment.
Scalding the drinking vessels is not
big job, and yet, done four times a
year, it is good preventive of dis
ease.
Performance is what is called for
to-day, and unless your hens are from
families noted as layers, or as flesh
formers, the pedigree counts for moth
ing.
To get good weight and delicate
color, only meal from grain one year
old should be used when fattening for
market, and the water used in the
mixture of food should have suet ad-
ded to it in the proportion of three
eighths Of an ounce to quart OF meal.
A small quantity Of coarse gravel
should be added to the paste thus
made, so as to assist the birds diges
tive functions. Special care should
be taken not to give them any food
for at least twelve hours before they
are killed.
Choose such pullets for eggs as in
some respects resemble typical dai-
ry COW. They incline to wedge shape,
being light and narrow in front, and
very wide and low behind. Their
legs are rather short and set wide
apart. These are the principal char
acteristics fgood layers and breeders.
Carefully avoid the leggy, high-built
reared-up hen of the game stock style
They may make good racers, flyers,
and fighters, but they are rarely good
layers or profitable market birds. 1t
is the short-legged, heavily-set, moth
erly-looking hen that shells out the
eggs, attends strictly TO business
when setting, and is successful in
rearing family.

Renewing Orchards.

Farmers who have apple orchards
that are beginning to deteriorate, re
commends West Virginia fruit grow
er, should lose no time in preparing
to plant new ones. 1t takes many
years to get an orchard into good
bearing condition, and the new one
should become available before the
old one has become Improbable
The practice of a gradual renewal on
the ground by planting young tree
here and there to replace a falling
one, as is sometimes done, is one to
be condemned rather than recon-
mended. One orchard on the same
ground is enough during the lifetime
OF any individual, and there are just
as good reasons for including the or
chard in rotation Of crops as can be
given for applying it to any other
plants raised on the farm. When the
new orchard has reached good bear
ing stage, clear the ground of what
is left of the old ones, unless it may be
a few favorite trees of exceptionally
good varieties, and devote the land
to other crops. 1t is quite common
mistake in planting apple trees to set
them too close together. On good
soil, where the trees are expected to
attain large size. distance of forty
feet from tree to tree is better than
lesser one, as will fully appear when
they reach maturity. In the early
stage of the orchard | often see what
appears to be useless space planted
with peach trees which often bear
good crops and are out Of the way
before the ground they occupy is
needed by the apple trees. In plant
ing apple trees on thin soil the holes
should be made large and the filling
should, partly at least, be of richer
earth or vegetable mould from anoth-
err field; otherwise that taken out
should be we'll mixed with manure
that the young trees may take a Wig
orous start
