Of our fowls are worth caring for through
the winter. There usually is at this
time of the year miscellaneous throne
in the poultry yards-3-year-old hens
beginning to have the ''old biddy" look
hens in the prime of life, pullets fresh
and pretty, and gawky, half grown crea-
lures full of possibilities. One is puzzled
as to which are the members Of such a
flock which will best help him in the
coming season.
The birds must be studied one by one.
Feed them these evenings, in a long, mar
row line, with cracked corn, which il

and busy, in single file, their fate can be
settled. Few are the old hens which
should be allowed to live. Only those
with wondrously fine ''points" can be
permitted fourth season. Some radi-
Gals in poultry keeping will have NO
hens over year old, but they lose much
in the 2-year-olds. Hens are then at
their best and lay their largest eggs.
To select the right pullets is most per-
picking. Not many of them have yet be-
gun to lay, SO that we do not know their
powers in that respect. We must trust
to the egg record of their families, and
to the general indications of good
layer-the full shape, conceited carriage
and capable look, which distinguish the
hen worth having.
If careful breeding is to be attempted,
the novice is apt to think that he must
Gull his flock according to points, -
with his copy of The Standard of Elk
cellence in his hand. But he will find
tkat there are many queer facts in
poultry raising, and one Of them is that
he must often keep birds quite different
from The Standard, in order that their
offspring may possess the points men
toned therein.
The Standard is of practical use in
discarding chickens to one who has no
ambition for s'fancy breeding" but aims
to supply the constant demand for well
marked specimens of the different
breeds at q moderate price. He can

About Pastures.

In the east commercial fertilizers are
used to help the pastures; in the west
they should be MANFRED from the barn
yard whenever possible.
While the use Of fences is to hold
stock they should be made as neat and
attractive as possible. The difference
in cost betwean a neat, well built fence
and one that is q constant eyesore to all
beholders is not great, and the satisfac-
ton that comes from doing thing
properly should be large pay for the
difference. Neatness is not only whole
some, but pays abundant interest.
A beautiful pasture field to be COM
plete must be set off with the best Of
the improved breeds in good condition,
and they are the only sorts that pay any
profit in these days. Those whose bust
ness it is to breed pedigreed stock should
give especial attention to pasture lots.
To take prospective purchaser into an
Ill kept pasture surrounded by tum-
BILE down fence with brush and weeds
everywhere present puts the visitor in
an unfayornb3e frame Of mind and may
prove the turning point to an adverse
decision. A good artist knows how to
hang his pictures, and the ability to
show good stock in good form is no
small part of the qualifications of sue
cessful improved stock farmer. Breed

Continuing, the Marquis said that the measure OF
Home Rule the Liberal party meant TO submit to Par
