FARM NOTES.

Don't feed corn to laying hens, but
feed oats and bran. Feed bran mixed
with table scraps and don't feed yellow
meal.
As a rule, in farming as in any thing
else, any thing that has been discarded
number of times may be safely let
alone.
Clover can be grown on any soil that
is in q reasonably good condition, and
under ordinary conditions can be sown
in the spring or in the fall.
An important item in successful farm
ing is the keeping of a sufficient num-
ber of stock to consume to advantage
all of the products of the farm.
Flowing the land to kill the cut worms
depends ON how the land is situated.
Some soils are not benefited by late
plowing. especially if they are liable to
be washed by heavy rains.
Eggs and dressed poultry should be
sold by weight it would be more Just
than by count to both buyer and seller.
Common dunghill fowls when fat will
weigh three pounds; light and dark
Brahmas, partridge and buff Cochins
weigh from five to eight pounds dressed,
and Plymouth Rocks from five to seven
pounds.
Three turkey hens with one gobler will
usually bring as many young turkeys
rs one will care to raise on the farm.
When speciality is made of them more
breeding fowls should he kept. Feed
soft feed of all kinds in troughs. If it is
fed on boards or floors the fowls will
it filthy, much more so than if fed in
troughs.
Clover and orchard grass will ripen
first, then timothy, red top, and lastly
Hungarian or millet. For market tim
Othy is of more value than any other
kind of hay and will sell at higher prices.
1t is considered the best hay Of alrfor
horses. For feeding to stock on the
farm there are few, if any, kinds Of
grass that equals good clover if
cut at the right stage and properly
cured. Red top ripcns last, and while
it is good grass, is not considered
equal to clover, orchard grass or timo,
thy for hay.
1t is not the agricultural college that
weans the boy from the farm, but the
dude literary college that gives a smat-
tering of science, the languages (dead)
and literature. 1t is reliably stated
that in Ontario, where they make q
business of sending children to agricult-
ural schools. more than IS per cent. Of
them go back to the farm. And Presi-
dent Chamberlain says he has often

STOCK ITEMS.

Salt and ashes should be kept IN . bon
IN convenient place where the hogs
can help themselves.
Change the feed often enough to keep
the horses with good appetite; they
will thrive better on less feed.
Even III winter it will be an item to
water the hogs regularly. Slop should
never take the place Of pure water.
Oats make one of the very best materi-
ais to use in feeding young pigs, especi-
ally when they are just beginning tn
eat.
All kinds of breeding animals should
have some kind of a laxative food be-
fore the offspring is born. 1t will often
avoid fever.
1t is generally best to keep one team.
at least, well shod during the winter to
use on the road when the ground Is
frozen hard.
The offspring of the best thorough
bred beef-breeds of cattle, used on ma
tive cows, will bring more money when
ready for market than scrubs.
1t is within the power of every farmer.

who can afford to breed poor ones, be-
cause as rule they are not profitable.
GoDd training makes a considerable
difference in the value of the horse To
get the best results handling and train
ing should begin when the colt is very
young.
Too many hogs should not be allowed
IN f,o<1 t<p<p
too cold, those in the middle will get
too warm and are liable to take cold
and become diseased.
1t is better to let a horse exercise at
will for little while each day rather
than to have him stand in the stall idle;
be careful, withal that it be not on ice.
A fall II ~ make him cripple and good
for mol. .ling ever afterward.
In a majority of cases, for the average
farmer at least, the best results can be
secured by sticking to one breed of
hogs. Old sows mated with well-ma-
tured, vigorous boars will usually give
the most satisfactory results.
