away with the other Repeat two or
three times during the summer and once
or twice during the winter, and the thing
is done. The next thing of Importance is
constant supply of fresh water Moth
ing is better than a running brook, but if
it cannot be had, the supply in the drink
ing vessels should be replenished several
times day during the heat of the season.
An admirable plan of drinking fountain
is one that can be made and used by
every farmer, and consists of an old bak-
ing pan under box, with one end pro
truding. The drinking dish. of whatever
form of material should be frequently
washed, preferably with boiling water
and drop of carboic acid, or a little
piece of cOpperas be added to the water.
Stagnant pools, especially of manure
water in the barnyard, should never be
tolerated, especially where hens could get
access to it, as when thirsty the foolish
men will take drink out of the shrinking
pool as readily as out of the purest run
ming brook or coolest spring. During the
summer we should not be very lavish
with the grain. Free roaming fowls will
need very little, and that may consist
mostly of wheat or oats corn being given
but very scantily, if at all. Make some
new nests in new places from time to
time, and renew the litter in the old ones
often Gather the eggs regularly every
afternoon. Catch the rats, shunks and
weasels. Cure scaly legs by dipping
them in kerosene oil. That is about all
there is to it. Only word needs to be
added about the breed Any good breed
under such conditions, will or should give
you good results But some are better
than others.
The Leghorns, either white or brown,
will fill the egg basket. The Brahmas are
fair layers and give you large, plump
table fowl besides. Crosses of the two
are excellent. Plymouth Rocks make a
good fowl, and you can cross them with
any other pure breed, especially the Leg
horns, for good results. | like my fowls
to be all uniform, consequently prefer a
single pure breed, and none has ever
suited me better as a farm fowl than the
Black Langshan Set the hens as fast as
they wish to set in spring. Make the
nests on the ground, in barrels, boxes or
hooks etc, where the bird will be hidden
or undisturbed. Do not fuss much with
the setting hens After the chicks are
Matched put them with the hen in coop
for few days, then, if possible, set them
free. To break up the setting hen there
is no better way than to let her set a week
or so, then give her a few chicks to take
care of. Feed her we'll and she will soon
be in laying condition again, and all the
better for the rest and the change enjoyed
for a few weeks. This is farm manage
ment of poultry, and it will seldom fail to
be profitable.

Do Not Neglect the Forage.

1t is to be hoped that the time is not far
distant when our southern farmers will
come to appreciate the Importance of
growing much larger quantities of fodder
than they do now This important item
is altogether too much neglected by the
majority of farmers, very many of them
depending entirely on the limited amount
afforded by the stalks that grow the seed
corn. the saving of which frequently costs
more than it is worth. Some supplement
this with the crabgrass hay saved from
the corn fields and frequently saving this
after it has gone to seed and has there
fore become comparatively worth
less except as an amendment"
to other food. OF course there are
some here and there who regard
this subject differently and attach
great Importance to securing an abundance
Of forage, and generallywe find that these
farmers constitute the prosperous ones.
If anything does tend to make a farmer
feel cheerful and to inspire him with
energy in his work it is to look upon we'll
fed stock and to know that he has the
wherewith to keep them So Plenty of
forage means plenty of milk and butter,
fat beef and mutton, plenty of manure,
well conditioned horses and mules, equal
to plenty of fine work. Surely we must
come 10 look db GnlS rEldbbef IN lGS True

The Theory of Thinning.

We have become familiar with the
statement that thinning the fruit on
overloaded trees, says the Rural World,
while it is young, does not materially
diminish the number of bushels of fruit,
the lessened number of specimens grow
ing large enough to compensate for the
difference. The superficial observer sees
apples on d tree two inches in diameter,
and on another four inches, and at once
pronounces the larger ones twice the size
of the smaller, being twice the number
2, but he decides hastily, for the cube Of 2
is only s, while the cube of 4 is Ga, or
times that of the 2. The large fruit
is no less than times the size
of the smaller, and it would require eight
times as many specimens of the smaller
to fill a barrel. This is of course an
extreme case with extreme meas
ures; but smaller results will be
obtained on a smaller scale. For con-
venience in multiplying and dividing, re-
duce the inches to quarters, and it will
be found that a globular fruit eight
quarters in diameter will be more than
twice the size in cubic measure of one six
quarters in diameter Any number of
similar calculations may be made with
like results. No wonder then that an
orchardist found that his thinned fruit
produced more bushels than that from the
the crowded trees.

Effects of Feeding Bone Meal.

am aware, says Prof. James Law of
Cornell University, that some dairymen
feed bone meal to cows as tonic and as
source of phosphate of lime when that is
deficient in the soil and fodder. In the
last case it is undoubtedly beneficial and
is essentially a good product. Resort,
however, should not be had TO it reck-
lessly or without due consideration, for if
present to excess in the blood, and in the
secretion of the kidneys, it is very liable
to be precipitated from the liquid and to
form stone and gravel. This is especially
dangerous in the winter season on dry
fodder. | have seen valuable bulls die
from it when fed wheat bran to excess,
but even in the females trouble may come
from the formation of gravel in the kid
neys and their ductS-ureters. Another
complication occurs whenever animals on
Observation-Disclosures formations (where
there is of course no lack of
earthly salts in the fodder are fed phos-
pilates The phosphates of magnesia am
monia are absolutely insoluble, and if the
former is present i'll the urine, it is only
necessary that the latter should be re-
tanned an undue length of time and de-
composed so as to set free ammonia in the
bladder to cause an instant formation of
insoluble crystals or gravel The same
thing happens also IN the bowels, and
large concretions of ammonia magnetism
phosphate form and obstruct the large in
testines, especially in horses. In short
it amounts to this. If the soil is poor and
deficient in lime and phosphorus, a small
allowance of bone earth is desirab BILE {;
when. on the other hand, there is no such
soil deficit, the use of bone earth is only a
stimulant, and its administration in large
amounts is liable to be attended with evil
results. 1t is much safer to supply such
agents as existing in the vegetable food
principles, than in the form of medi-
cine
