Profits In Poultry,

Don't figure ON profits to be made.
Too much like counting chicks before
they are Matched. Yea, worse. A per
son can figure himself a millionaire ON
poultry profit in no time if he wants to.
Take 30 hens as q basis. Calculate that
each hen will raise you 30 chicks the
first season, and you have ], 600 besides
the hens. Then figure on an increase Of
20 to each fowl tho second year, and
you nave 90, 600 chickens. The third
year You increase your flock to 400, 900,
the fourth year to 4, GOO, 600, and the
fifth year you are :ho possossor of SO,-
600, 600 chicks and ovor 4, 600, 600 old
hens! 1t is very easy to figure out profits
OH paper. People may build the most
gorgeous air castles, but the lofticr they
are the greater the fall, and the fall is
certain.
The only way TO figure out profits is
by experiment. Get your fowls and COM
menco large or small, as You please.
Keep an egg record md an account book,
in which place all expenditures and in

1t is a common experience that the
application of superphosphate of lime to
fall wheat is entirely without any re-
suit, and the money expended seems to
be thrown away. This is doubtless the
effect of the lime often applied to the
soil at this season or to lime already
existing in the soil. 1t is necessary to
understand the nature Of supcrphosphatc
to perceive how this result is unavoid-
able in cases when there is lime exist
ing in the soil, says Henry Stewart. who
explains III The American Agriculturist
that superphosphato is made by dissolv-
ing onmon phosphate of lime, whether
existing in the form of bones on tho
mineral phosphate, by sulphuric acid.
The result of this process is easily seen
by tho following figures:
Common phosphate consists of one
atom of phosphoric acid and three
atoms of lime. 1t is insolublo in water.
Neutral or reverted phosphate is made
up of one atom Of phoSphoric acid, TWO
atoms of lime and one atom of water.
This is slowly soluble in water. Super
phosphate consists Of ono atom Of phoS-
phoric acid, one Of limo and two atoms
of water. This is completely soluble III
water.
Understanding this, we perceive why
it is that the common phosphate or bono
is put through this process to make Il
fertilizer. 1t is because the phosphorus,
acid is Immediately available in the

Wool sheep are discouraged now, but
mutton and lamb are growing in favor
as food, and the mutton sheep of i'm

good many of them.
Wheat middlings mixed with water
is excellent for fdttcning pigs rations.
1t is better than bran alone.
Steps are to be taken by the butter,
egg and poultry associations III all parts
of the country to regulate the market.
There are times when the supply is too
great in some parts of the country, while
it is too little in other parts. Conse-
quently there are losses on the products
frequently. The associations are to mu-
tually keep members informed through
their agents where the greatest demand
is. Then the surplus in one spot will be
shipped to the localities where there is
a scarcity, and everybody will be happy,
This is a reform much needed. Pro-
ducers of live stock and farm goods
ought to control tho markets in every
thing, and they will when they get

SNA GARDEN
WINTER STORAGE OF VEGETABLES.
ahe Best Place Is n Good Root Cellar.
How to Make One.

HOW 10 Make One.
The best place to winter vegetables
Is a good root cellar. An ordinary house
collar, with its stone walls and cement
floors, with the temperature as high as
the living room, is ono of the poorest
places possible to keep vegetables. All
root crops should be kept as nearly as
they were grown as possible, which is
III the dark. 70 keep them from grow.
ing they should be where the tempera.
tuTe is but little above the freezing
point, and to keep them fresh they must
be kept moist. To put vegetables away
in boxes of sand in the house cellar is
II of the worst methods possible, be-
aus non of the conditions named is
complied with.
A root cellar should be nearly all be-
low the surface. Side walls will be nee.
essary, and upon these should be sprung
an arch as flat as is safe. In tho center
Of the roof there should be q piece Of
drain pipe 6 inches in diameter to al
low the heat that will naturally come
up from the bottom to pass off. 1t should
have double doors, the outer ones on tho
slant. like the ordinary outside collar
door. Put the vegetables on the floor,
which should be tho natural earth,
and with sand just as it is taken
from the bank. Put a cap over the VEN
tilating pine to keep out the light, but
not so tight that the warm air from be-
low cannot escape freely. In such a Gel
lar raulihowers, if put in when the
beads begin to form, and if the roots
are covered with sand, will develop
their heads perfectly, SO that these lux
urios may be enjoyed almost the whole
winter. Cabbage with heads but half
grown will perfect their growth before
spring and be far moro delicate and ten
der than if put away fully grown.
Where but few vegetables are to be
kept, and the garden is of a sandy ma
turo, with a gravclly subsoil, the author
ity for the foregoing tells in The Amcri-
can Agriculturist that there is 40 more
simple plan than to sink a few sugar
barrels in the ground, leaving their tops
but six inches above the surface, first
taking both heads out. Into these put
the vegetables, filling them but half
way, and then covering with an ordi-
nary barrel cover. Tho warmth from
below will keep ont all frost from above
unless the temperature falls below zero;
then some old mating should be thrown
over the tops Of the barrels, only to be
removed when vegetables are wanted.
The writer has kept bccts, turnips, car
rOtS md parSniDS until the middle Of
April in this way, and the last taken
out were as fresh as when put away in
the fall. Cauliflower and cabbage can
also be kept perfectly in the same mall

Here are the British rules for select
ing IA horse for the nlilkman:
Reject a horse whose fore legs are not
straight. 1t will not stand wear. Stand
behind tho horse as it walks away from
you, and you will be able to notice these
defects if they exist. Reject a horse
that is light below the knee, especially
if Immediately below the knee, as the
conformation is essentially weak, or a
horse with long or short OF upright
pas~tcrns-long pastcrns are subject to
sprains. Short or upright pasterls make
a horse unpleasant to ride, and on &C
count of extra conclusions are apt to
cause ossifiC dCpOsits-or q horse with
toes turned in or out. The twist gen
orally occurs at the fetlock. Toes turned
out are more Objectionable than toes
turned in. When toes turn out, the fet-
locks are generally turned in, and ami
mails so formed are apt to cut or brush.
Both, however, are very weak forma-
lions.
Reject II horse whose hind legs are
too far behind. Good propelling power
will be wanting, and disease as a result
may be expected i'll tho hooks, and a
horse which goes either very wide or
very close behind and one with very
S .raight or very bent hooks. The former
cause undue conclusion. Tho latter are
APT to give way.
Reject a horse that is "srlit up
that is, shows much daylight from be-
tween the thighs. Propolling power
ONE from behind and must be deficient
il horses without due muscular develop
nlent between the thighs.
Reject a horse with flat or overlarg9
feet or with very small feet. Medium
sized are best. Reject also a horse with
one foot smaller than the other.

Wintering Driyin. Horses,

1t will be well to touch briefly upon
the way in which a great many men
have their drivers wintcrcd. Tho ma
jority of men who use their horses only
in the summer do not understand much
about them and have not that love Of the
sport Of driving which insuros to their
animals adequate care at all seasons of

all sorts OF purposes, II when the chill

ed. Grain is almost eliminated from

not be given in sufficient quantities to
supply natures wants, and altogether
1.-THE poor animal is in bad hands.
n There are hundreds of places where
Slriving horses are well cared for at
lmoderate charges, but the majority,
Whose owners board them out in the Win
Ter, do not fare very well. An instance
g7s fresh in the writer's mind of "a gen
atleman who purchased a mare at one of
Rfhe Chicago sales and drove her a mile
tn $3.50 to his top wagon shortly after
Ne got her. Winter came on, and dis
s1aining to place her with a competent
ssman her owner sent her to a farmer,
who gave her nothing but hay and wa
Ter, and the mare died of impaction.
M Purchasing another mare, this wner
went to the other extreme and sent her
40 a man who kept draft horses for sale,
with instructions to feed her highly all
%rrintor. The mare took the collie three
days after she got to her new quarters
and died. This winter this gentlcman's
driver has been in the hands of a MAJ
who makes a business of keeping such
animals and takes the best care of them,
charging for their maintenance such an
amount as enables him properly t o do
so. In a word, men who do not want to
enjoy the delights of sleighing should
place their horses with some one who
will feed them well and give them OK
ercise enough to keep them in shape.
This takes grain and help which canno
be obtained without good money, and
/ the more that is paid the more good
care the horse will have so long as the
caretaker understands his business and
is straight in his dealings. --Horseman.

Storing of Seed Corn.

The methods of gathering and storing
corn intended for planting were given
by $40 western farmers last year. The
great care used in selecting and preserv.
ing the seed was a matter of surprise
and qualification. About half of the BIC
go through the fields as soon as the corr
begins to ripen and gather ears Of the
most desirable shape and those which
mature first. Most of the remainder
wait until husking time, then, placing
a box or barrel in one end of the wagon,
keep soparate such ears as come nearest
to their idea of first class corn. Some Sc
lect the best ears when unloading at the
crib. One waits until planting time,
then goes to the crib and picks out his
seed.
But probably the most important part
Of the whole operation is curing and
storing. The main point is to dry it be-
fore freezing weather sets in. This, says
American Agriculturist, is accomplished
by hanging to r~af.crs in an open shed
by means of the husks on wires, stack
ing the ears like cordWood on boards
placed overhead IN Il graililfN, machinery
shed, etc, but the most commonly rec
commended method was drying by arti-
fetal heat. This N a small scale is
easily accomplished by placing the con
in a room over the kitchen through
which the chimney or s%tovcpipe passes
or putting the ears on shelves in the
kitchen near the stove. When they are
thoroughly dried, and this can usually
be accomplished before very cold
weather, place in boxes or barrels pro-
tected from mice and ats and store in
some Building which is free from mois-
ture. All those who reported upon these
methods claim they never have any diff
ficulty in getting u good stand. Thus
with very little extra labor the trouble
experienced in some localities from de-
fectiye seed corn can easily be avoided.

BEEkEEPING AS A BUSINESS.
Success Depends on Knowing What to Do
and Doing 1t In Time.

"A oNi W IN
and Doing 1t In Time.
Mr.. Charles Dadant, whose opinions
ere worth quoting, has been asked
whether it pays to mako a business of
keeping bees, q difficult question to an
swer, for a great many circumstances
can influence results. Among these in
f1uences he mentions, in The Prairie
Farmer, the ability of the %beekeeper to
understand his business and to give tn
his bees the necessary attention at the
right time, the location in which the
hives will be placed, the kind of hives
to be used, etc. A great many persons
imagine that to keep bees successfully
it is but necessary to locate them on a
quiet spot, to watch them during the
swarming season and to take the sur
plus of their harvest. Such were indeed
the only conditions required before the
invention of the movable frame hives,
an invention which afforded to the bee
keepers the means of studying moro
carefully the habits of bees, to obtain
larger crops with less risks of losing
them in winter.
From the above IL follows that a
man who does not know the business of
keeping bees ought to begin cautiously
with but a few colonies, say two or
three, and study the habits of bees in
books at first. Then, in verifying the
teachings of the books, by opening the
hives and examining the combs and by
watching outside, the going in and out
of bees. Such study will take at least
one year. Then, if the apprentice bee
keeper finds some pleasure III the work,
he can buy a few more colonies and in
crease their number either by natural
or artificial swarming or by buying bees.
The locality in which the bees are
kept has also a large influence on the
honey crop, yet it is but a question of
larger or smaller profits, for an apiary
surrounded with lindcns, white clover
or alfalfa and bordercd with cotton
lands covered with marshy flowers has
better chance to succeed than any other,
but a skilled bcckccper can have some
success, even in a poor location. Anoth-
or stumbling block in Bookkeeping is the
hlll't VI blNt W NAt. <A'DDNt al, tt'lN lSi Il
beginner not to buy patented hives, for
most Of these wonders OF patent hives do
not know the habits of bees and sell
inventions moro injurious than useful.
AS beginners arc inclined to risk as
little as possible, Mr.. Dadant warns
them against the use of small hives,
which require more work, more feeding
of bees for winter and spring and do not
give as good results as larger ones. TO
his mind a ten frame Langstroth hive is
not wen large enough. He prefers hives
containing 10 or IL Quinby frames.
These frames are larger and longer than
the Langstroth, and although white clo-
yer is his only rcsour his crop can
compete fer quantity with those of bee
keepers using small hives located in
more prosperous districts.
The conditions of success in beekeep-
ing, after the selection of the hive, can
be summed up in a few words-to know
what to do and to do it in time.
