FARM AND GARDEN NOTES,

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Set all the hens you can.
Peaches like a mulched soil.
You can't get your seed too clean.
Have the coops ready for the early
chickens.
Do not feed your poultry altogether on
soft food.
Turkeys, ducks and geese need plenty
of pasturage.
Perfect cleanliness will lessen the need
of disinfectants.
Small, unmarketable potatoes are just
as valuable to feed.
Scurvy leg can be communicated from
one fowl to another.
Grass seeds cannot be sown too early
after the snow leaves.
Scalded bran makes a good feed fo1
poultry at this season.
Boiled potatoes and wheat bran make
a good "masn" for pigs.
No matter what the blood, no animal
will thrive without care.
y
to feed the cooling moth.
If you can't have shade trees in your
pastures build open sheds.
One advantage with rye is that it fur
nishes very early pasturage.
If muddy, sponge off your horses legs
before leaving it in the stall.
Only the smooth, hard sort of peas
should be planted very early.
Manure only sufficient for one acre is
half wasted if put on two acres.
1t does not pay to put in crops before
the soil is put in proper condition.
Whatever is brought on to the farm
adds to its fertility, and vice versa.
The cabbage worm can be subdued by
applying Stacked lime dust, sifted on.
Thoroughbreds are good; but thor
ough head is the best thing on farm.
If stables were properly fumigated in
summer, lice would be scarcer in winter.
Roup is contagious; all sick fowls
should be separated from the we'll ones.
An animal that is not sheltered in cold
weather will probably eat third more
than enc that is, and not do nearly as
well either.
Applying a good whitewash and
changing plan of keeping hens nests
clear of lice. Putting the whitewash on
hot makes it more effective.
It costs money to build good roads,
but such expenditure will be repaid in
the lessened wear and tear on horses and
wagons, land on the drivers good nature.
One advantage with poultry is that
the most exacting work with them
comes at time when it can be given
with the least interference with the 9TH
er work.
Keeping plenty of clean sand in the
yards will help to keep out that part of
the premises clean, while, in addition, it
will aid in supplying the fowls with
plenty of grit.
If the hens do not seem to relish their
food, in many cases good remedy is to
make them take plenty of exercise-this
is apt to be the case now more than at
almost any other season.
One advantage in having the larger
breeds of ducks is that they are much
more readily confined. 4 woven wire
fence two feet high will ordinarily be all
that is necessary to keep them in.
While rye makes very good feed TO,
poultry, it should be fed with other ma
terials, as it is not good feed to give
alone. A patch of rye growing near the
poultry house will supply good green
food.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
COMPOST THE cow MANURE.

Horse manure fermcnts so quickly and
easily that under almost any circum-
stances in the soil it soon gets into avail
able condition for use of crops. But
COW manure is less active. 1t should
therefore either have some horse manure
mixed with it or be piled up loosely in
sufficient bulk to start vigorous fer
mentation. 1t is not likely to firefang,
as horse manure will if lett in even small
heaps. Boston CuLtiUdtor.

MAKING SORGHUM MOLAssEs.

The Department of Agriculture has just
issued circulars giving brief directions
for making sorghum molasses. The first
step after the canes are stripped of leaves
and the seed tops removed is to pass
them through roller mill. AS there
are manufacturers who make speciality
of these mills and accompanying evapo-
rators, and in addition furnish instruc-
ton for their management, and as it re-
quires considerable experience to make a
good article of molasses, the directions
of the circular, which are wholly of a
general nature, need only brief men
ton. Generally the canes should be
worked as soon as ossible after harvest
ing. AS soon as expressed the Juice
should be treated with cream of lime.
Blue litmus paper may be used to deter
mine the proper point of neutrality.
When this paper is placed in the natural
juice it turns red. When it becomes
distinctly purple it shows enough lime
has been added. A good article for bak-
ing purposes can also be made without
adding lime.
The juice after treatment with the lime
should at once be placed in tank and
brought to the boiling point, but should
not be allowed to boil When the sour,
formed over the top shows signs of break
ing, the heat should be withdrawn and
the scum carefully removed. The heat
may be again applied until all the green
scums have been entirely separated. The
purified juice should now be reduced as
rapidly as possible to the consistency of
molasses. This is best done in some
form of continuous evaporation, based on
the old-fashioned Cook evaporator, in
which the purified juice constantly runs
in at one end of the evaporation, passes
back and forth across it,and the finished
moiasses runs out at the other end. The
quicker the evaporation can be accom-
plished the better for the molasses.

WRONGHEADED PEOPLE,
Those with Whom 1t Is Difficult to G.
Along.

Those with Whom 1t Is Difficult to Get
Along.
Among the most unpleasant people
one is compelled to rub shoulders with
on Hfe's highway are the class whose
minds take hold of every thing, as it
were, the wrong end foremost They
are usually as obstinate as perverse,
and the false differences they draw
from Inexperienced premises they adj
here to with as much tenacity as if
they were Gospel truths. One knows
not how to deal with such incorrigibles.
Good-humored rallying they are as like
~ as not to mistake for studied insult,
kind words for humbug, endeavors to
instruct and convince for airs of superb
GRITTY; and whatever one may do or say
with a view of benetiting them, they
mistake for insidious attempts to get
on their blind side. Their field of moral
vision is filled with a mist of suspicion
which distorts every thing, and it is in
vain to reason with them; for you can
no more do away with their absurd i'm
pressions than you can wipe out craven
letters with sponge. Error, we sup
pose, is to them what truth is to right
headed men and women, and they cling
to it because they believe in it. They
are objects of commiseration; yet, be-
ing unbeatable nuisances, it is prudent
to give them wide berth.
1t is really a sad thing to be predis-
posed by nature to misconceive and
misconstrue; but it is equally unpleas-
ant to be misunderstood and miscon-
strued. We, therefore, make it rule
to have as little as possible to do with
inveterately wrongheaded people.-N.

The Punishment Inflicted Upon . Persist

A man of fifty years of age has been
sentenced to sixty-three years impris-
onment for selling liquor, being con-
victed on 1913 out of 1000 indictments.
That sounds like law in some other
country than this, but it is what has
happened to e.. F. KILLING, citizen OF
!, Norwich, VT, little hamlet just across
the river from Hanover, the seat of Dart
mouth College.
Every college graduate for the last
twenty years at least knows ''Kib," for
he has defied the law and the prophets
as exemplified by the august faculty of
the college, and has supplied the ardent

students who chose to call on him.
Its quality has been terrible, it's cost
far from moderate, yet it was liquor,
and that was enough. Time and time
again has the faculty ''nailed'' him.
Countless times has the victim appeared
in court and penitently taken oath not
to sell again.

HEALTHY POULTRY,

There Is Nothing Fowls Enjoy More Than
Bright Sunshine.
Above every other point, our efforts
should be to have our poultry healthy
and to keep them so, but to do this re-
quires great deal of foresight and
care on the part of the owner There
is nothing that more enjoys the warm
sun than the poultry, and it's effects
upon them is very beneficial. While. on
the other hand, if they are exposed to
the hot sun and have no place to re-
treat to, to get out Of it into the shade,
disease and loss are sure to follow; not
temporary disease or loss, but perma-
nent loss. Just so long as you keep a
lot of poultry that has once been so ex-
posed you are laboring under difficult
ties from the fact that such will never
give as good satisfaction and are much
more liable to be attacked by disease
than poultry that have been properly
cared for. The same rule will hold good
with poultry that have once been stunt
ed by improper or insufficient feed
ing; they will never come up to the
high water mark. No matter what

therefrom, so that if we wish to have
good, healthy, strong and paying poul-
try, we should concentrate our every
effort in keeping them from being in
jured or broken down before their time
of usefulness arrives.
If a fruit tree gets injured the loss to
the tree is not much, but when we go to
gather in the fruit is the time that tells
the story.
First of all, good, sound, healthy
stock, then with proper care and fore
sight, when egg harvest time arrives we
will not be disappointed, but we may
expect to be rewarded for our care and
trouble. The successful poultryman
must appoint himself general in COM
mand, and look all around, Or the enc
