POULTRY MANAGEMENT.
Why 1t Pays to Attend Carefully to Seem
Ing Trifies.

Why 1t Pays to Attend Carefully to Seem
Ing Trifies.
Theory is worth something, but ex-
perience must be the test of all discus
sion as to methods in the management
of poultry as in all other things. The
little attentions which can hardly be
measured are in the aggregate what
count at last in the care of poultry.
A writer says there is in the culture of
poultry a great difference in the plans
used by breeders, when striving to ac-
complish the best they can. Though
aiming to attain the highest possible
results by different methods, the young
beginner often fails to follow a judi
cious course in the management and
feeding of his fowls, by following every
plan, simply by being practiced or rec
commended by some poulterers. The
inexperienced novice is too apt to think
that any kind of care or food will do in
poultry keeping, and when cold
weather sets in he allows his fowls to
forage for themselves anywhere and
every where, neglects to provide suit
able shelter and proper food when the
season and necessities to their comfort
and well-being demand them. Care
lessness in the little details necessary
to good management will soon show
in the condition, health and produc-
tiveness Of the fowls. The more care
and attention to their daily wants the
better their appearance and health.
and the more clearly they are kept in
we'll lighted and we'll ventilated
houses, and the more uniformly they
are fed and watered, the better returns
they will give their keepers, reInem-
Der. This course of treatment always
brings the best results, not alone in
raising poultry but any kind of domes-
tic animals. We never knew an ami
NAL to thrive and be profitable to it's
owner if kept in half starved or neg
lected condition. Poultry demands
good food and good care to be produc-
tive, and without productiyeness there
is no profit. Always bear in mind that
eggs and flesh must come from good
food and proper care and attention to
the wants of the fowls = Western

PuLvERlzlNG THE SOIL.
It Brings Plant Food into More Availa-
MI

IL Brings Plant Food Into . More Availa-
BILE Condition.
There are several results to be gained
by thoroughly pulverizing the soil be-
fore planting the seed. If this is done,
in nearly all cases the seed will germi-
nate quicker and better. and plants
will make thriftier start in growth.
A certain amount of heat and moisture
is necessary to induce good germina-
ton of the seed, and in majority of
cases this can be secured by placing it
in contact with the soil, and fine filth
will help materially in this. Then
when the soil is in a good filth the
fine. tender roots of the plants will be
better able to penetrate the soil to adj
vantage.
One of the principal advantages
gained in pulverizing the soil is that
the plant food is brought into a more
available condition. for the use of the
plants and this helps materially in SCI
curing better growth.
Inmany cases. even in q thin, cropped
down soil, q much better growth and
yield can be secured il the soil is pre-
pared in a fine filth before sowing the
seed. and kept SO during growth by

wise be possible. By bringing the soil
to good filth before planting, it is
easier to keep it in a good filth after
wards, while the plants will make
more vigorous start to grow.
Thoroughly fning the soil aids it to
retain moisture as well as to draw it
from the sub-soil by capillary attrac-
ton.
While fair crops may be grown in
rich soil with Indifferent preparations,
the best growth and yield is only pos
sible by having the soil in a fine filth
before planting the seed, and as far as
possible keeping it in such condition
during growth.
With nearly all cultivated crops one
of the best plans of management is to
piow reasonably deep. prepare the soil
in good filth before planting the
seeds. and then keep it thoroughly SO
during growth by shallow surface cul-
tivation. This puts the available
plant food in good condition to be
taken up by the growing plants, and
helps materially in supplying the nee
essary moisture.
The more thoroughly the soil is pre-
pared before planting, the less work
will be necessary to keep in a good
filth afterwards; hence, it is good econ.
omy to take time to prepare perfectly
before planting the seeds. Make the
conditions of growth as favorable as
possible before planting the seeds, and
it will be less work to maintain good
growth Prairie Farmer

Fresh meat and corned beef may be

old English silverware is much in
demand just now, and genuine pieces,
especially those of historic Interest,"
fetch high prices. There is special
interest in tableware of the seven
teenth, eighteenth and early nine
teenth centuries. As both tea and cof-
fee came into use in England near the
middle of the seventeenth century,
some of these coffee pots and teapots
are among the earliest of English
make. Even then the device OF the
wooden handle, designed to interpose a
non-conductor between the hand and
the hot metal, had come into use. The
best of the coffee pots are large, stable
vessels, with little ornament and no
striking grace of form, but rather q
look of solidity and II suggestion of
cosiness and comfort. Those bearing
the ball marks of the old silversmiths
are usually to be accepted as genuine.
