One word IL chiefly In my heart,
One little word j must not say.
The hills OF truth are strait and steep,
They have n smart In every stone,
And climbing them needs must weep
To think that love must die unknown.

And brings a lesson strange 70 teach,
That love Is lifeless In the light
And silence is tho fullest speech.

Among the Poultry.

Well-kept fowls will commence 10 lay as
soon as matured.
Never throw large quantities of feed TO
the fowls at one time
Ii the young chickens are kept free
from lice they will usually be free from
gapes.
Early Matched chickens are the best for
laying and for breeding; select the best
and keep them.
Ii any of the fowls commence dropping
around, look after them at once; there is
something wrong.
There is as much in knowing how TO
feed poultry TO the best advantage as any
stock on the farm.
If more than one breed is kept care must
be taken TO keep separate If they are to
be used for breeding.
A wild, fighting hen should never be
kept for Matching, as she will rarely prove
satisfactory as a mother.
Often warm barn or cellar can be used
to an advantage in keeping young poultry
growing in cold weather.
While the profits on commercial poultry
are usually smaller than on fancy, they are
generally much more sure.
If fowls have free access to the manure
heap they will pick up much grain that
would otherwise go to waste.
Cut hay or clover, sprinkle bran or meal
over it and then scald with hot water
this makes good feed for poultry.
If you cannot afford to have full-bred
chickens, purchase at least a full-blOod
rooster to cross with your common hens.
Beef or pork cracklings mixed with
corn-meal or wheat bran and baked makes
an excellent feed for poultry of all kinds.
For general farm fowl there is nothing
thatwill excel the Plymouth Rock chicken
when both eggs and table fowl are de-
sired.
There is certainly no economy in COM
pelling poultry TO stand around inthe cold
mud ali day; better keep them under
shelter.
Geese can he picked regularly every six
weeks after the lst OF Nav, and the feath-
ers secured will pay well for the trouble
OF keeping them.
Never use long, gangling, overgrown
rooster for breeding. 1t is nearly impos-
sible to fill them up and they never make
good table fowl.
The little chickens that are kept in the
broOders should be watered regularly.
Give them what they will drink without
getting themselves wet.
Rubbish under which rats can harbOr
should not be allowed near the poultry
house or yards. Rats often prove very
destructive TO young poultry.
AS a general rule, hens should never be
fed SO much that they will not scratch.
Better scatter some of the grain among the
litter and let them scratch Tor il.
Pekin ducks excel nearly or quite all
breeds of chickens as egg producers They
will lay an egg every twenty-four hours
after they once begin until hot weather.
In selecting breeding birds pick out the
best and discard all the weak, sickly ones.
Generally it is best to use fowls for breed
ing that are at least one year old ii pull
lets are desired have old mems and young
cOckerels; if roOsters are desired reverse
this. So far no rule has been found for
determining the sex OF eggs; t is all guess
work. Save all the poultry manure to use
in the garden in the spring.
