FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

a sickly fowl gives no profit IN the
poultry yard.
Do not give the morning mash to the
fowls in sloppy condition.
It IS not too early to Start incubators
for the early spring broiIers.
Dampness is the cause of many OF the
diseases in Ia" poultry yard.
If the hens are late in mouIting give
them as free range as possible.
Young fowl need bone meal to de-
velop good blood, flesh and feathers.
When the hens are laying regularly
lime should be left before them all the
time.
Select your turkey hens for breeding
by their style, development and move
ment.
Rich food for mich COWS makes rich
manure heap, and that makes rich land,
which ought to make a rich farmer.
A scrub may yield profit, but pure
bred animal would have yielded larger
profit, under the same circums tances.
Make wheat the principal food now
and cora a little later. Wheat is the
best grain for eggs, and corn to main
tain animal heat
Very often good butter is spoiled by
the quality of the salt which is worked
in it. 1t is better to pay few cents more
for good salt and use that.
There are a good many animals in the
dairy which are excellen. mixers, buS
they do not possess The power OF trans
hitting this quality to their oifsprings.
One of the greatest mistakes made By
dairymen is the neglect Of winter dairy
ing. 1t is hard TO maintain an even tenn
perature in the dairy during the warm
summer months, but IN the winter time
this can be easily done by heat.

Much time is lost on many farms from
a failure to provide in the best manner
for the ready passage of teams and ami
mails from one part Of the farm to an
other. Whether stock is allowed to run
at large on tie public highways or not
considerable amount Of fencing is re-
quired on every farm il the proper divis-
ion OF fields for cultivation and pastur-
age. Access to each field ought to be
maze easy, ard often there should be en-
frances at more than one point. At such
points there should be gates that can be
quickly opened and closed, instead of
bars that must be removed one at a time,
thus causing delay to beth men and
teams. Then, again, for want of a gate
it is often necessary to make gap in a
fence in order to get into field at GER
tain point, when another delay is caused !,
and the fence itself is injured every time
it is taken down. It costs but little
more to make a rough gate on a farm
than to make the same length Of fence,
and the gate itself becomes part of the
fence, which is good reason for making
gates wherever they are likely to be
wanted. Large losses in time are in
many instances also occasioned by the
want of proper facilities for readily wa
tering stock. In such cases it seems to
me it should occur to every farmer that
present expenditure sufficient to pro-
vide them would be profitable outlay

COLOR OF JERSEY COWS.

The prevailing color of the jersey
cattle is fawn and white, or solid fawn
with darker standings. Some families o.
the best reputation are dark-either what
is known as squirrel gray, with shading
to black, or nearly all black, with brown
shading. The nose is generally sur
rounded by a yellowlsh or orange-col-
ore3 ring, and the muzz'e is black, but
some have light gray muzzle and a
fawn ring around it. A dark, reddish
fawn is not to be taken as mark of i'm
purity, or is a brownish black; but
these colors are not common or fashion
able. II a COW is pure Jersey it is most
probable that her pedigree is recorded.
If it is not, good evidence would be re-
quired TO prove her pure blood, as a re-
corded animal is worth so much more
than one rot recorded that it cannot be
supposed the breeder would neglect to
give his youcg animals record. But
If the COW has the most valuable point
of these COWS, which is rich milk and
high cclored butter, the pedigree is
only desirable TO the breeder; the butter
maker may be satisfied if he gets the
product. York Times.

FATAL EARTHQUAKE.

Many Persons Killed,

Advices from La Union, San Salvador, by
the steamer City Of Sydney, state that an
earthquake has laid low nearly all the
houses in the city, and that those left stand
ing had their walls so cracked that it was
not safe to remain in them. The eople are
living in tents and are in fear of further
disturbance.
A passenger on the steamer City OF
Panama, which called at La Union on the
by the City of Sydney, writes that he went
ashore and viewed the ruins. The desoIa-
ton was complete. The residents of the
city were almost driven to a frenzy, and
professions were parading the streets with
ringing bells headed by priests praying for
an abatement of the disturbances.
Many persons were killed and many were
seriously injured.

sc TRY, Try Again."

The old story of Bruce and the spider
is well known, but how little has been
noted OF the untiring perseverance Of
others Of the lower animals. A curious
incident, having q valuable lesson for
impatient human beings, was offered by
a party of ducklings on the sea-shore.
They were very young, but they had
a mind for swim, and made no doubt
of being able to accomplish it on a body
Of water SO large and so tempting as the
Atlantic Ocean.
It was a lovely day, and the tide was
coming in with hardly a ripple. Every
few minutes a wavelet not more than an
inch or two high swept gently up Oh the
beach, then drew back into the bosom
of the ocean, after the manner Of sea
waves.
With all the dignity Of the duck fam
lily this little party waddled down the
beach. They were in no haste, the day
was before them, the sun was warm,
they were fed, and they went in the
most leisurely way. just as they reached
the water the gentle wave ran in, lifted
the pretty little yellow birdlings off their
feet, and swept them all far UP on the
sand, then as suddenly turned, left them
there high and dry, and went out to sea
again.
The ducklings, not at all disconnected
by this shabby joke Of the wavelet,
gathered themselves together, and start
ed again down the beach in good order
as before. Again the saucy wavelet
came up to meet them, and again they
were carefully set down far up on the
shore.
Discouraged, you think, and walked
off in huff? By no means! They wanted
to go into the water and into the water
they would go. Again they started
down the bank, just as dgnifed, just as
composed, just as earnest about it as if
they had found no difficulties in the way.
OF course they met the same fate; but
they did not give it up.
Whether they ever really got into the
sea does not appear, but as long as the
observer had the patience to wait the
same game was in progress-the little
wave carried them all far up on the
beach, and they all waddled back again,
with the sole and single purpose Of
going TO take q sWiIn.-YOuth's Com
paniCn.

verifcation of in all it's details, from the
hospital records where Mr.. QUAINT was
treated and from the doctors who had the

hospital treatment was two and three years
ago, while his cure, by the use OF DR.. Will
Jams Pink Pills for Pale People, has been
effected since last September 1891. So it
is beyond a doubt evident that his re-
covery is wholly due to the use Of these
famous pills which have been found to
have made such remarkable cures in this
