Farm Notes.

Whenever an attempt is made to
fatten fowls for market care should
be to ken to do the work as rapidly as
possib BILE. ten days at most usually be-
ing sufficient
..It is bad luck" to have a hired
man that smokes about the stables. or
that Bets the lantern down. A crotch
from limb will make a hook tor the
lantern to hang on.
1t is not by any means the larger
roostors That breed the largest chick
ems, as often an active. vigorous
rooster will raise as large sized as the
heaviest that can he used.
Whenever a fowl loses its appetite
for food the process OF fattening is re-
tarted ana decrease instead OF an
increase Is made. This is one reason
why the fattening should be pushed.
A good egg will sink in water.
Fresh eggs have a lime-like surface
on the shell. stale eggs are glossy and
smooth. The management has con-
siderable to do with the keeping OF
eggs II carefully handled they can
be kept several DAYS.
In recent article OF President
Chambe rlain. in his chronicles OF q
clay farm he shows that each dollars
worth Of superphosphates returned
him two dollars worth of wheat, with
strong prospect of greatly increasing
the clover and timothy for the COM
ing year.
Remember that hens. to lay regu-
larry. must have u regular and sutii,
cient supply OF gg-forming material.
On good range in summer they can
usually lind this for themselves; but
when shut up in winter they can not
be expected to do we'll unless their
feeding is well looked after. They
must have variety OF food-lime to
make the shell and meat to fur
nish blood. A good warm meal should
be made up in the morning from the
waste OF the kitchen. including scraps
pieces OF meat. bread, vegetables. etc.
Mix this with bran or shorts into a
hot mess. brought very near the boil
ing point and then dust In small
quantity OF red pepper as stimulant.
In feeding a good rule is to give just
as much rs the fowls will eat up
eagerly and no more. At noon d
light feed OF oats is all that will be
required. but at night there should have
a generous meal OF hearty food 60 that
each hen can go to her perch with
full crop. During the day they should
never have 30 much that it makes
them heavy and mopy. 1t is better
to err on the other side. and let a
hearty night meal mako amends. II

Disposition Of Animals.

In determining what animal or
animals to keep, and what to sell or
feed for market, consider we'll their
disposition. For the dairy, for work
ing stock. for breeding. and even for

The latter is not only troublesome to
handle. but Is a disturbing element
among others. and Is sometimes an
expensive animal to keep within
bounds.

are the rule. the English Down and
long wooded breeds have attained a
permanent foothold and are rapidly
increasing. But in the great APP
palladium region. stretching from
Canada to Florida there is pasturage
for which neither the Merlno nor the
heavier English breeds are adapted.
For this region mountain sheep are
needed. Two OF the English breeds
which seem we'll adapted TO this
region are the Cheviot and Lonk.
or the former very few have been
brought to this country. The latter
are nearly unknown here.
The native home OF the Lonk sheep
is among the hills in the north OF
England-Lancashire. Yorkshire. and
Derbyshire-the name being derived
from the flrst-named shire. The legs
and face are black with irregular
white markings. In general appear
ance 1t greatly resembles the black
faced Highland sheep OF Scotland,
but is much larger. taller. and heavi-
or. Though less hardy than the
Highland sheep. it is quite enough SO
for any part OF the United States east
OF the Mississippi. Our illustration
from photographs, represents group
OF Lonk sheep. The fleece is close
and heavy. atfording ample protec-
tion from wind and wet They are
well wooded on the lower parts OF the
body, and down to their knees and
hooks. The wool is long. lustrous.
and moderately fine. being Of the
staple classed as combing wool. The
weight OF the fleece. washed. will
average five pounds for ewes. wealth
ers seven to eight pounds and rams
often yield ten to twelve pounds each.
The staple Is from five to seven inches
in length. The live weight OF Lonk
sheep when fattened for market, Is
from one hundred to one hundred and
twenty pounds. The mutton is Of
very fine quality and flavor, nicely
marbled with fat and lean. When
reared upon the heathery northern
hills this mutton has q peculiarly
gamy flavor, almost like venison.
The ewes are very prolific. and the
lambs remarkably strong on their
legs agile and hardy. They mature
early, attaining full size OF carcass
and fleece at year old. The ewes
begin to bear when two years old.
The usual practice in England is 10
keep the weathers on their native
upland pastures until they are three
years old. Then. having yielded
three successive clips OF wool. they
are driven down to tho richer lands
OF grass and turnips. and finished oil
for the market. The ewes are re-
tanned for breeding purposes until
they are FIVE or sig years old, and
then sold to lowland farmers. by
whom they are crossed with Cots
world. Leicester. or Lincoln rams.
The ewes and the cross bred lambs
are fattened and sold for slaughter.
Such cross would not be practical
BILE on the mountains or lofty hills. as
the open character OF the fleece would
unfit them for the exposure OF
mountain lie. But In the rich agri-
cultural regions OF the midland and
southern counties these cross bred
lambr are found very profitable. fat
