HARD OR SOFT FOOD.

Experience shows that hard food is
better than soft food for poultry, not
that it contains more nutrition, but for
the reason that when soft food is given
the hens are tempted to eat larger pro-
portlons than should be the case The
giving of soft food leads to overlooking
and impairs the digestion. 1t also sup
plies the wants of the fowl more readily
than hard food, and SO completely salts
ties 1t that the inducement to work and
scratch $50 essential to health and the
thrift Of the fowD is lessened. Then,
there is the fact that when giving soft
food the poultryman, by mixing several
kinds, is liable to give more of one kind
than may be needed, while with hard
grains the fowls have greater privilege of
selection of that which they prefer; but
with mixed soft food they must eat every
thing OF which it is composed-all or
none-and thereby surfeit themselves. 1t
is proper to give soft food, so as to feed
some needed substances, but we believe
three times a week sufficient. Give
whole grain and scatter it far and wide,
or mix 1t with litter, thus compelling
each hen to hunt and scratch for all she
receives, which will keep her in health
and promote egg production.-Neao Or

HOW TO HIVE A SWARM OF BEES.

NO" 10 HIVE SWARM OF BEES.
To hive swarm of bees successfully
and IN systematic manner, writes bee
keeper, requires presence of mind, cool
ness of nerves and fearlessness. To note
the vast difference of the ways in which
bees are hiVed throughout the country
would be very amusing. l think it is
sufficient to point out the correct way.
1t is the usual custom on discovering
a swarm leaving the hive to begin throw
ing water on them; this l do not do.
When | see swarm in the air, [ at once
set about TO prepare hive for them. If
[ know which hive they have come out
of remove it to new location and set
the new one in its place, and spread on
the ground just in front of it a sheet
doubled twice.
The new hive should contain full set
of frames with a narrow strip of founda-
ton as a starter, and if it is during a good
honey flow and after the surplus arrange
ments have beer put on, would remove
the latter from eff the old hive and place
il on the new one; by this time the swarm
has settled. If low enough, sprinkle
them little to prevent them flying when
Jared. Now get your swarming basket
q find that one holding half bushel is
the most conveniently; to the handle of
this tie pole; a piece of pine one and
one-half or two inches square is just
right. Now reach up with the apparatus
just described and place the basket I'M
der the cluster; the end of the handle
should extend beyond the basket foot
or so; strike the limb On which the bees
have settled a sharp blow, at the same
time keeping the mouth Of the basket
where the bees will fall into it. If the
first jar is hard enough the queen will
fall into the basket together with the
larger portion of the bees. Hold the
basket in the same position until the
bees have settled, and if any settle on the
limb continue to jar it until they have
all settled in or on the basket.
You now have them captured and can
do anything you want with them. I
have carried swarm a mile in this shape
without any trouble. If your hive is in
readiness carry the bees and pour them
down in front of it and assist them to
enter by taking hold of the corners of
sheet and raising it; after they are all in
see that the hive is shaded from the suns
rays, and you can then leave them to take
care of themselves. -Fdrm, Field and

TREES GIRDLED BY MICE,

When trees are completely girdled by
mice the injury is irretrievable. If the
damage could be discovered at once and
before the wood should dry it might per-
haps be possible to save some of the trees
by cutting the bark from others and fit
ting it accurately to the damaged portion
and wrapping the part in moist clay kept
moist by wet bandages. But the chances
are hundred to one against this during
the winter, when the sap is not flowing,
while later, when the sap is in motion, it
might be done. Prevention is the only
cure, and this is easily secured by wrap
ping paper around the trees in the fall
and taking it off in the spring, when
there is no more danger - Chicago Times

MAKE A GOOD GARDEN.

No man should spend his labor and
time over so large an acreage as 70 fail in
making a first class garden. In this much
of the satisfaction and often no little
part of the profit of country and farm
life consists It is rather disheartening
for the city resident who goes into the
country during the summer for fresh air
and fresh homegrown small fruits and
garden vegetables to look into back yards
and find tin cans carelessly thrown away,
which show that even for such common
table luxuries as tomatoes, green corn,
and often green peas, the farmer and his
family have nothing better for him than
he could himself buy at the retail
grocery. If farmers wish to attract other
men to their business, as it is clearly
their interest to do, they must IN every
way make farm life as pleasant and en-
iovable as possible. Laborsaving ma
chinery enables the farmer to take life
easier if he will. He complains that low
prices for staple crops take off all his
profit. Grow less of these crops then,
and devote larger share of time to fruit,
especially the small fruits, and to garden
vegetables. 30 soon DIS Tic lalhAcl Slo"

cacies, the harder lines of his life fade
away. 1t seems worth while to live on
a farm, and when he gets to feeling this
way it is ten to one that he falls into the
habit of marketing supplies he does not
need, and thus after a few years de-

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Sell eggs fresh.
Whitewash the nests.
Fowls will eat large quantity of
clover.
Feed young fowls literally while
growing.
Be careful to avoid draughts, especial
ly on the sitting hens.
Hens will eat the parings of any kind
of vegetables if cooked.
Copperas Is a good medicine to keep
on hand for the poultry.
Chickens once stunted never regain
their vigor, no matter how we'll fed.
From one bushel of corn a hen will
produce ten dozen eggs, worth at least
81.
Hens will keep in better health if they
are obliged to scratch for part of liv-
ing.
Feeding the ducks too much corn and
getting them too fat will keep them from
laying.
Test YOUR fields and see what fertilizers
they need. 1t is useless to put on fertili-
zers not needed.
The irisls, English, Spanish and Per-
sian, ought to be transplanted every Sec
ond or third year.
One advantage in keeping good
breed of fowls is that generally they Will
receive better care.

: One important point in keeping farm
clear from weeds is to see that those
germs are not imported in purchased

the farmers own animals. Horses that

cattle that have been allowed to run OH
