Poultry Raising Experiment..

An experienced poultryman of New
York state recently concluded a years
experiment for feeding hens for the
production of eggs. Tie point was to
prove that laying hens may be con-
fined in small space, fed no flesh, sue
culent feed or condiments, and at the
same time be healthy and return a
good profit. The hen-house floor con-
tains seven square feet of surface to a
hen, and the run is five rods square.
The feed consisted of wheat bran six
parts by weight, two parts middlings
and one part corn-meal. This was
mixed into a mush with milk in sum-
:ner and hot water in winter for the
morning meal Through the day they
had access to this mixture dry, all
they would eat In addition. and in
cold weather only, they were fed lit
tie whole grain of various kinds,
thrown in straw on the floor, but not
SO much as a feed as to give them exer-
else by scratching. For necessary grit
and lime they had cracked clam shells,
nothing more. A dust-bath and pure
water were provided. and these em-
brace all that was given them during
the year. There was no sickness
among the fowls, nor were they trou-
bled with vermin. The eggs were
shipped to New York. Deducting cost
of feed from amount received for eggs,
q net profit of s1S6 was left

NOTES ABOUT HORSES.

MULES and geldings are an expensive
luxury.
If you are going to raise horses raise
good ones.
A HORSE will never drink too much if
watered frequently.
STAGNANr water is responsible for
collie and many other diseases.
To GET the best results, look to
purity of breeding on both sides.
THERE are not half enough good
coach horses to meet the demand.
A HORSE must have size and weight
in the collar to suit city teamsters.
SIRE and dam must both be we'll
bred in order to give the best results.
IT is rare that good draught horses
sell without a fair profit to the pro-
Queer.
Do NOT give horse a large feed of
corn directly after undergoing severe
exercise.
EXTRA finished carriage and coach
teams are selling we'll, there being but
few on the market.
STEEP the tie rope in cayenne pep
per aud water if you would keep the
horse from chewing it
COMMON sense in breeding, feeding
and disciplining colts is necessary, if
money is to be made from them.
New hay should never be fed to
working horses, as it is apt to cause de-
rangement of digestion and produce
collie.
If the colts ankles appear weak and
tired after driving they should be
bathed with cold salt and water and
wrapped up loosely in bandages.
In case of fire where the horses be-
come unmanageable when their heads
are covered with blanket, throwing
on the harness will often reduce the
animal to instant submission.

Preparation OF New Ground.

The latest bulletin of the South Car.
DINA station gives the result of fer
tilizer experiments with corn. The
bulletin also gives the different results
of thorough and slovenly preparation
of new ground. Two acres of land
were left unbroken, except just enough
in which to plant each row of corn. to
be broken at the first cultivation of
the corn. The result was that just
three times as much time and three
times as hard labor was required to
cultivate these two acres as any other
two in the field, and the corn matured
ten days later than upon the land
which was prepared before planting.

Got Things Changed.

A republican organ which is SO
anxious that times .shall not grow bet
ter that it ridicules reports of its eX-
changes that times are growing better
remarks that the free trade organs
..say tina. the reason the country has
not at once leaped into prosperity is
because the protectionist papers are
prophesying hard times and dull bust
ness because of prospective changes in
the tariff, and because the protection
list papers are deliberately trying to
make times hard by soaring the peo-
ple." Oh, no, dear! THE free trade
organs" don't say any such thing.
They do say that some protectionist
papers are prophesying hard times and
dull business because of prospective
changes in the tariff and that some of
them are deliberately trying to make
times hard by soaring the people. But
the free trade organs do not say that
these amusing little partisans are sue
ceeding in soaring the people or pre-
venting the times from improving. 1t
is natural. however, for papers which
would attempt such a policy as this to
take themselves seriously, although no.

Many persons own low lands which

build dam that will be strong and
serviceable. The work is not difficult
one, and if taken hold of properly can
be made a genuine and permanent sue

twelve inches wide and eighteen inches
deep where the dam is desired. At
either end of this trench drive stout

There is certain way that experi-

horse down SO as to break his neck and
kill him at once. An ordinary halter
is put on the horse. the lead strap from
it passed between the horses front

then hits the horse sharp cut with q
