Have straw or leaves on the floor

Have straw or leaves on the floor I;
at noon scatter wheat, rice and pop
corn broken in pieces over the straw
to give them exercise; give them a full
feed of corn at niglk. Give them burnt
bones and pottery Nssell broken up. A
box Of fine dust shoSsd be provided for
them under shelter. U
The Brown Leghorns are a very good
breed, and will lay from 100 to 150
eggs each in a year.
Set one or two hens the last of Feb.
ruary for early use, not putting many
eggs under them. Have most of the
chicks to come out in April they grow
faster and give less trouble. If Matched
in April they will begin to lay IN Octo:
Der. If they are well fed and attended
to they will do to fry in six to eight
weeks. Bake corn bread for them ;
feed four times o day; when larger,
give cornmeal dough mot too wet
wheat and vegetables. Milk is very
good: if too sour, scald it. Very salty
food will kill them; q little is bene-
fetal.
Have plenty of fruit, summer n
fall. After the garden vegetables como
in, give them lettuce, mustard, cab
bage; chop onion tops and mix with
their feed. Do not use much stlmu-
lants, a little red pepper fed OCCASION
ally is very good.
If they are thus fed and attended to,
they will not have lice cholera, gapes,
roup and other diseases, Hens are not
fed in warm weather unless the season
is very dry. A house ten by twelve
will be large enough for thirty hens
made SO as to have it tight in winter
and plenty of air in summer. Ii the
chicks are confined much in winter the
house should have windows. Farm.

THE CROW ACCOUNT.

Now q kindly word for the Grow, a
bird which I consider the farmers
friend for-exceptingthe short season
in early spring when he may occasion.
ally rob the mother hen of one of her
darling chicks or, possibly, her nest
of an egg-the greater part OF the year
hisfood consists largely ofthe farmers
enemy-the grasshopper, the cricket
and the worm. I have seen in the early
autumn o flock Of crows in q meadow
spread out in line, marching along n
devouring grasshoppers as would Q
flock Of young turkeys, and could the
farmer keep o correct account with the
crow I think he would be surprised at
the end of the year to see how much he
would have placed on the creditside OF
the birds account and how little to the
debt side. Try the coaltar on your
seedcorn, and let the crow live and
continue his good work.
After the seedcorn is shelled, take
say a peck at a time and place it in a
pail. or, better still, an old-fashioned
tin dishpan, into which drop a small
quantity Of coalter, say o tablespoon
full at q time, and with a stick stir the
corn until each kernel is completely
coated, adding enough Of the tar from
| time to time till this is accomplished,
but using no more than is necessary to
do this. Then sprinkle common plaster
on the corn and continue stirring unit!
each grain is covered with the plaster,
when the corn san be handled aTo
planted as though it had been simply
| rolled in plaster alone. Plant after i
| has been thus treated and you can res
assured that no crow will pull tht
second hill of corn. This has beer
used for years on the farm OF ny
birth, as well as many others OF which
i knew, and with perfect success

Pets for a City,s Menagerie.

At this period of the year, when
people are hurrying out of town, a
large number of pets that would be in
convenient to carry about are sent as
p~resentsto the Central Park Menagerie.
Among these r always a large NUM-
Der Of small ~alligators, and for these
gifts the larger alligators are most
thankful, for if there is a tidbit that
one of these saurians love it is a young
and tender one of his own family. In
the wild state the female alligator's
chief care is to keep the home of her
young one unknown to the male.

The Canada thistle, although a rather
pretty blue flower, is as great pest as the
white rudbeckia, misnamed daisy. The
thistle when cut off in fair Weather will
soon cap over and start at once from the
stub, and some Of the roots will start indie
pendently for the surface. The surest
method Of destroying this pest is to cut
them near the surface while raining, at any
time from formation of bloom to maturing
Of plant. The rain should be of some du-
ration. The plant win excreate the juice
and absorb the water, which is certain
