FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Tarred paper will drive away lice.

Tarred paper will drive away lice.
Leg weakness is often caused by toe
rapid growth.
Straw is better than hay to put in the
nests of laying hens.
A hen likes to scratch and should be
given the opportunity.
Lime is cheaper than roup and fumi.
CATION better than lice.
Sand is nota substitute for gravel and
should not be made to take its place.
1t is never good economy to feed the
hens more than they will eat up clean.
Charcoal as an aid to digestion and
lime as a purifier ought to be faithfully
employed in every poultry yard.
Until the chickens are six weeks old
sweet milk can be used instead of water,
and the poultry will thrive better.
A dry dust bath is very essential to
the health of the fowls during the win
ter. Arrange it in the corner of the
house.
On the farm, where she can have a
good range, sixty pounds of grain will
keep a hen a year in good, thrifty con-
dition.
The goose, if properly managed, LAYS
about as many eggs as a turkey, and can
be raised to maturity at about one-haIf
the cost.
Unless willing to pay attention to lit
tie things 1t will hardly be advisable to
go into the poultry business as a
speciality.
Ordinarily it is not a good plan to try
to hatch ducks too early. They will
thrive better after the weather getsSwarm
and settled.
Young fowls when first Matched do
not require any kind of food for twenty.
four hours. Bread soaked in milk is
good for the first feed.
If the fowls are healthy to begin with.
and they are well fed and cared for, no
artificial preparations are necessary to
maintain good health.
1t has been thoroughly settled that the
hens will lays more eggs, and the g Q
will keep longer and better, without
ROSTERS than with them.
During the winter every effort should
be taken to give the fowls all the sun
light possible. Let them out Whenever
the weather will permit.
The best poultry is the cheapest. Sell
off the rest. Select out the best and
keep them for breeding. This is the best
way to improve the flock.
If the fowls are confined, a good plan
OF feeding them is to give a soft feed in
the morning, some kind of green food at
and whole grain at night.
The food of a duck is about the same
as that of a chicken, and the care YOU
give them in their early life will build
a frame that will be vigorous and last
ing.
As ducks sell we'll in the markets, it
should be the aim of the farmer to hatch
as many early broods as possible, getting
them into market by the middle Of April
and May,
1t is not the breed so much as the feed,
and not the feed so much as the care;
but the better the breed the better the
feed, and the better the care the better
the results.
One principal cause of eggs dying in
the shell is too rapid evaporation during
incubation. By placing inverted sod in
the bottom of the nest this can easily be
prevented.
Young chicks need the best of care
aud the most nutritious food to give
them a vigorous start to grow. Once
well started it is comparatively easy to
keep them growing.

TEMPERANCE AND THE TROPICS.

Or. Bessinger, after exploring the interior
of Luederitz Land, the German portion of
southwestern Africa, adds his testimony. to
the experience that total abstinence from
stimulants would reduce the alleged climate
perlls of the tropics to the danger incident to
sand-storms and severe droughts. ''The re-
nunciation OF alcohol, he says, twill enable
travellers in this country to walk twenty
miles a day without danger to their health,
n II the same organized enterprise and the
same amount of treasure that nave been
wasted in pursuit Of the North Pole chimera,
had been devoted to the exploration of this
continent, not u mountain range nor a river
valley of tropical Africa would by this time
be missing from our Typographical maps"

Il PLANTING OF THE VINE.
The food was over; rich 10 soil.
That promised recompense the toll.
The legends Of the Talmud saw.
That Noah, digging hard one day,
Was asked by Satan what he sought
As with perspiring face he wrought.
81 plant the grape" the patriarch said,
As from his toll he raised his head.
Said Satan, ~ a favor ask.
Let us together share this task"
The tired man could not say nay.
And so the devil had his way.
A b~leating lamb he caught and Killed
And on the vine its blood he spilled.
"Henceforth," said Satan, '1amblike he
o vine who tasteth fruit Of thee
"A lions blood then wet the vine
That it might bring forth royal wine.
as a lion shall he be
Who sippeth sparingly of thee,
. vine, whose clustering cups shall hold
Juice worthy to be drunk from gold"
A pig that rooted on the plain,
Was next by Satan caught and slain.
Upon the vine its blood was shed,
And as it flowed helrs monarch said:
drinketh to excess of thee,
wine, a very swine shall be-
Through all the ages since that time,
every nation, every cline,
Wherever wine doth ill the cup.
Wan gives his better nature up.
The lamb, with trembling, timid feet
Before the lion doth retreat.
The lion to a swine doth turn
wine in mans proud veins doth burn,
Nho drinketh once will drink again,
'or Satan tempteth not in vain.
no drinketh wine his soul to bless.
Gull often drinketh to excess.
His soul he bindeth with a chain
That few indeed can rend in twain.

Everybody a Skin Breather.

A scientific gentleman or Buenos Ayres.
M. CODES, has discovered that all living
animals breathe through their skins as
well as through their lungs. Hypoder-
mic injections of oxygen into their skin
are taken up by the capillaries of the
system III the same manner as when oxy-
gen is breathed through the lungs. The
practical part of the discovery is that NJ.
CODES thinks the hypodermic respira-
ton will become of great use in lung

FEED FOR FArrENrNe noes.

Indian meal, buckwheat bran and
SKINNED milk make excellent feed for
iattening hogs. If milk cannot be sup.
pied, the meal and bran will make a
good diet if mixed with water. And if
the water is sufficiently hot to partially
cook the grain the feed will be made
more digestible and the return which it
will yield will be largely increased. OF
course the mixture must be cooled be.

SEVEN YEARS ypEn1rNcr w1ru -,

SEVEN YEARS EXPERIENCE WITH srLos.
Seven years experience with silos at
the Michigan Agricultural Station leads to
the following conclusions: The silo
should be built of lumber and located as
near the feeding-place as possible, and
on the same level. A silo tweuty.two
feet deep, ten feet wide and fourteen
feet long will be sufficient for six
months feeding of ten cows weighing
1000 pounds each, which will consume
600 pounds of ensilage daily. For the
silo the corn should not be harvested un-
til well matured. A great deal of the
feeding value has been lost in the past bv
cutting while too green and ~succulent.
Sllage corn should never be fed alone to
obtain the best results, nor in. too large
proportion when combined with other
fodder Silage aud clover hay com.
Dlned make most excellent mixture for
coarse fodder. These with bran. shorts
corn-meai, ETC., in proper proportions,
make the most economical food for Young
cattle, and for making milk and beef
