Hens or PulIets.

The practice of retaining the pull
lets and discarding the hens can
only result in a degeneracy of the
stock. This fact may not be appa-
sent in one, or even two seasons, but
sooner or later the effects become
plain. Some pullets begin to lay
prematurely, their eggs showing the
immaturity of the pullets, being
small and imperfect. Pullets hatch
ed in incubators and raised in
brooders are forced so highly by the
warmth and extra food given that
they sometimes begin to lay before
they are four months old. They
will produce eggs that hatch, but
the chicks usually lack vitality. In
an experiment made by us with
chicks Matched from eggs laid by
pullets and from eggs laid by hens,
there was as large number of
chicks from the eggs of the pullets
as from the hens, but the loss from
eggs of the pullets was much larger
than from the eggs of hens, an ex-
pertinent which plainly demon
strated that in breeding for the best
results it will not do to discard the
old hens and use pullets. Poultry

THE LITTLE THINGS THE MOST
VALUABLE.

Comparatively few people regard themselves
as inventors, but almost everybody has been
struck, at one time or another, with ideas that
seemed calculated to reduce SC me of the little
frictions of life, Usually such ideas are dis
missed without further thought.
why don't the railroad companies make its
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passenger 5 backs? ,
exclaims a traveller. "If were running the
road would make them in such a way"
what was the man who made this sucepan
thinking off" grumbleS the cook He never
had to work over the stove, or he would have
known how it ought to have been fixed"
Hang such a collar buttonr' growls the man
who is late for breakfast. IF ! we're in the
business d make buttons that wouldn't slip
out. or break of, or gouge out the back of my
neck"
And then the various sufferers forget about
their grievances aud begin to think OF some.
thing else. II they would sit Gown at the next
convenient opportunity, put their ideas about
car windows. saucepans. and collar buttons in
to practical shape. and then apply fSr patents.
they might find themselves as independently
wealthy as the man who invented the iron UNI

Da,ryIng In winter.

To make the best success in dairy
ing in Winter it is necessary to
make preparationsin advance. One
of the principal items hatmust be
looked after some time alfead,,is to
have COWS that viii come In fresh.
To this enasthe cows should be'bred
late in the Fall or early Winter
taking care of course TO have sthem
in a good, thrifty condition when
bred and to breed them to bulls of
good dairy breeds and from good
strains. Another item that must
be looked after in good season is
good feed. Clover or millet hay or
the best of corn fodder makes the
best single feed. Bran, middlings
and oilmeal can nearly always be
bought as needed, but in many
cases a supply can be obtained at
less cost in the Summer than at
any other season.
Later ON good shelter is necessary.
1t is difficult, if not impossible, to
keep a COW giving full flow of
milk during the Winter unless COM
Portable shelter is provided. With
good cows, good shelter and good
feed it will be comparatively easy
to have good supply of milk. But
it will require more work to attend
to the COWS and to care for the milk
and cream in Winter than in the
Summer. If the milk is not kept
at an even temperature or ths cream
is not properly managed the butter
will not come up to the standard.
The feeding and milking must be
done at regular hours. The feed
must be of kind we'll calculated
to enable the COW to give the largest
flow of milk. No matter how well
bred COW she may be she cannot
give liberal quantity of rich milk
unless she is fed literally on rich
milk-producing food. The more
literally she is fed and the more
comfortable she is made in every
way the more and better milk she
will give.
Whenever the skimming is done
and new cream is added to what is
already in the vessel, care must he
taken to stir thoroughly so that all
of the cream will ripen evenly to-
gether. Care must be taken not to
allow it to become too sour. One
difficulty in making butter in Win
ter is that the cream is allowed to
stand too long before churning.
Cream should be only slightly acid
when churned. Use a thermometer
to see that the temperature is right.
While nearly or quite all grades
of butter sells more readily and at
better prices during the Winter
than in Summer, yet it is important
in securing the best price to have
the quality Of the best, and every
detail in the management must be
looked after closely.
With proper care there is no
question, but that Winter dairying
can be made more profitable than
Summer, though it costs more to
make butter in Winter than in Sum-
mer, but the better price will make
it pay better profit.
There is at least one advantage,
and that is it does not require so
much work to prepare for market.
II is important that good butter be
sent to market in the best possible
condition.

In heeling in trees, in the Fall or
Spring planting, care should be
taken to fill the interstices among
tthe roots completely with soil, and
to have raised mound of earth
faround them to keep out mice.
All fali.setstrees will! be better if
carefully banked up around the
stem and a good mulch of straw
or coarse litter applied.
Apply good dressing of manure
around the rhubarb plants and as
paragus beds; it will act as a mulch,
besides stimulating the plants.
One of the best ways of prevent
ing crotched trees from splitting is
to twist or fasten two small limbs
together. AS the limbs grow they
will prevent splitting.
When a young tree is set in the
orchard in the place of an old one
that has died remove all the dead
roots and the old dirt that surround
ed it and fill in with new dirt.
The cluster of eggs that may be
found on apple tree limbs should be
picked off during the open weather
of FallFor Winter and thus prevent
the Matching of the tent caterpillar.
All roots, such as beets, parsnips,
carrots, etc, will keep fresh all
Winter if packed in sand and
stored in the cellar; if the cellar
he very dry the sand should be
moist.
In pruning young pear trees en-
courage growth of wood in proper
directions. Instead of fruit pro-
duction, at the expense Of develop
ment, get good growth first and
then fruit.
The seed of red cedar will germi-
nate readily if it is treated with lye
or strong soapsuds that will destroy
the gummy covering. After treat
ing in this way rub with sand and
then plant.
Gooseberries do best when kept
we'll trimmed, as in good soil they
make a rank growth. They do best
in a partial shade, and if the mil
dew does not attack them are relia-
BILE bearers.
SCOT water makes an excellent
and safe fertilizer for all kinds of
plants, including those growing in
pots or boxes in the house during
the Winter, especially when the pots
are full of roots.
In horticulture success demands
personal attention. No man can
achieve success in marketgardening
and handle the business at arms
length. One must not only be will
ing to work, but to direct other
workmen.
If the strawberries are plulched
with fine straw the moisture will
hold better, the yield will be great
err, the berries large and they will
be kept nice and clean. A good
time to apply is after the ground is
frozen hard.
In setting out fruit trees of any
kind it is serious mistake to set
them deeper than they grew in the
nursery. 1t is best in the Fall to
draw a small bank up around the
stem, but this should be smoothed
down in the Spring.
Within certain limits cross bud
ding is successful. The peach will
succeed on the plum, and plum on
peach and pear on ounce. Other
varieties succeed also when cross
budded, but the nearer alike the
varieties are the better the chances

patent strikes person as an appalling1y
formidable thing. The idea is that an inventor
must be natural genius, like Edison or Bell;
that he must devote years to delving in compli-
Gated mechanical problems, and that he must

the average citizen would feel somewhat
ashamed of bringing them to the attention of
