Poultry Notes.

A Kansas poultry grower gives expires
sion to the following in Farm Journal:
Hens like a secluded place for nests
and not too strong light.
Set nests facing wall, with just enough
room to pass between nest and wall.
In pays to SOW an acre or more Of small
cereals for the hens. They need it for
pasture in winter and they can harvest
1t when ripe.
Plant a patch Of corn near the hennery
on good soil Plow it as often as conve-
nient. The hens will pick up meat and
wallow in the fresh earth.
In prairie countries rows Of fruit OF
forest trees planted far enough apart to
admit plowisg with two horse cultivator.
affords good place for hens, and the
cultivation helps the trees.
Hens require variety of food, and by
mulching the trees much "grub" may be
provided for them, especially in warm
climates.
The hardy, wide rangers, those clean
Of limb and having small combs, are the
kinds wanted by the farmer.
Ground oats, boiled and mixed vel
with cornmeal. makes a good ration fol
laying hens.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-04-26
The Best Honey Plants.

At the late annual convention of the
New York beekeepers among questions
Of importance discussed was the one of
honey plants. AS is usual when this
topic is introduced considerable differ
ence of opinion prevailed. The majority,
however, favored alsike clover for bee
keepers. One member, who has grown
it since 1882, claimed that it failed to
secrete honey only once during that time,
and it was season when white clover
also failed. He not only prefers the al
sike to white clover for honey, but said
that it makes the best fodder for sheep
and cows. He sows it with red clover
and timothy, both for honey and hay, as
it is liable to lodge badly if sown alone.
Another member, who indorsed the fore
going and who now sows alsike instead
of red clover, found the honey from it
as good in quality as the white clover
honey. He did not think it yielded as
large crop Of hay, but it is of better
quality. In regard to that much adver-
tised Chapman honey plant, the opinion
appeared to be that it is hard plant to
grow and not so profitable as the clovers.
Bees, it was told, work well on alfalfa
when the circumstances are all favor
able, but the various experiences related
did not favor alfalfa as honey plant.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-04-26
Statements About Poultry.

Mr.. James Rankin, who has made the
artificial incubation of poultry success;
told at farmers meeting in Boston,
not long ago, that he never sold broiler
in his life. He said: "The broiler age
is just the time when all the danger Of
mortality has passed. The last two OF
three pounds can be put on much cheaper
than the first. Whoever raises beef OF
pork knows that this is 80. The price of
a good roaster is higher than the price
of good broiler. So we hold our
chickens until they are four and one-half
months old, and our pullets until they
are little over year old"
Mr.. Rankin estimated his loss Of ducks
at from to per cent. in raising, and
chickens from 8 to 10 per cent. He
thought that fifty cents is moderate
allowance for growing pullet until she
begins to lay.

Pigs Teeth.

A pigs age may be known by its teeth,
as well as the age Of other animals. Its
mode of dentition is as follows: 1t is
born with four front teeth; one month
afterward it gets four more, one in each
side of the first pair in each jaw. At
8 months it has four more, which is all
the front temporary teeth it has. At 8
months the four outside teeth drop out,
and are replaced by permanent incisors,
and the others are replaced during the
next year. At 8 years the boar's tusks
appear; at they begin to lift the lips; at
8 they are seen outside the lips; at they
project from the mouth, and after that
they grow longer. After 2 years the
sow's front teeth have a black ring around
the base of them, and as the age increases
the color of the teeth deepens and they
become worn. AS pigs, however, are
rarely kept over two years, this test
gauge is not often required. Of recent
years, since pigs have been bred SO as to
mature more rapidly, the teeth may in
dicate, as with sheep and cattle, more
age than the animals really have. Awell
bred pig may have all its permanent
front teeth at 18 months, and this more
rapid dentition has sometimes led to dis
putes as to the pigs ge.-Mark Lane
