POULTRY POINTS.

Market the eggs before they are stale.
Three-year old hens produce stronger
stock than pullets do.
Good birds are cheap enough to make
it unnecessary to breed from poor
stock.
Some people stamp their eggs with a
rubber stamp, giving the date on which
they were laid.
We do not recommend commercial
bone fertilizers for poultry, we would
say to ar inquirer.
Rolled oats are the best for hens, but
crushed oats are nearly as good and on
the of economy better.
The rooster eats as much as a hen
and makes no return. He is an expen.
sive ornament if he is not needed.
When the hens get as good care as
the cattle, hogs and horses usually do,
there is no complaint about their un-
pro6tableness.
We see the frequent advice given to
find private customers for the eggs.
We do not go much on this private Gus
toner business
An exchange calls attention to the
objection that the insurance companies
make to running incubators in an in
sured building. That is an important
matter.
When rOosts are made one above an,
other, we would say to a correspond
ent, the poultry at the top get all the
bad air. This is enough in itself to
condemn such roosts.
Anything that will make a hen
scratch will benefit her, and an exchange
recommends to sweep the short nay,
dust and seeds of the barn floor, sift it
through a coal sive and throw the sift-
ings to the hens for scratching. Might
as well throw the whole thing to them
without sitting.
We observe that a p~oultryman says,
according to the Homestead, that the
best food for chickens is composed of
corn and oats ground together and
cooked in milk, and broken crackers
soaked in milk, using one-half of each.
He gives this in a rather moist con
dition, with no drink whatever forfour
weeks.
This is what a poultry breeder says:
Take a half bushel of clover leaves
from the bottom of the NOV (the same
amount of chopped clover, though not
as good, will do) wet it down well with
boiling water, cover tightly and let
steam an hour. Mix well with two
quarts of wheat shorts. If you have
never tried this you will be surprised
to q how quickly so fowls will ''gob
bic" it up.-FGTmerS' Voice.

BELITTLING AGRICULTURE.

We have been so accustomed to be
Hitting agriculture, and much of it has
gone on in such a no business sort of
way that thoughtless people, the world
over, are inclined to think that farm
ing is pretty poor business, says J. H
Hale, in the Connecticut COurant;
more thoughtful people, of course,
know that it is largely the basis of all
national wealth and prosperity, and it
must be a fairly good business here in
the United States, or the country
would not have made the rapid strides
that it has done.
OF course, it is an open question
whether the farmer himself or others
reap the greatest profits from agricUl-
ture; farmers in many parts of the
country, who r dependent upon
transportation companies and COM
mission merchants for the disposal of
their farm products, have a business
which is largely out Of their control,
and may not make a success of it,
although giving it the greatest care
and attention; but here in New Eng
land, where we have most of our
markets within easy driving distance
of our farms and handle our own pro
ducts with our own teams and sell
directly to customers, or, at the
furthest, to the retail dealers who sup
ply the customers, if we are not sue
cessful as agriculturists, the fault is
very largely our own.
The farmer, through force of Cir
cumstances, is a capitalist, laborer and
business man combined in one, but far
too often forgets that he is anything
but a laborer and a drudge, and neg
lects the business side of the situation,
which, to my mind, is the most i'm
portant one.

HANDLING MANURE ON SOUTH
ERIN FARMS.

The necessity for more carefully look.
ing after the manures made on farms
of the South is more apparent each
During the summer when most
of the stock is on grass, this problem is
not difficult, for all the excrement Is
left in the fields. But as the winter is
coming on every farmer ought to make
some provision for taking care OF all
barnyard manure produced on his
farm. To the man who has a basement
barn with a passage way on the bot
tom floor into which the stall cleanings
can be dumped and where hogs can root
them over, thoroughly mixing themass
and preventing undue heating, the
problem is easy, for there is no loss
from teaching, and the nitrogen Zone
of the most valuable elemente) is not
lost. Such manure will not fire fang.
But the majority of Southerners do
not have this convenience. The manure
as it is taken from the stable is either
thrown into a heap beside the barn or
hauled directly to the field. Both
methods have serious faults. The pile
in the yard, if hogs do not get to it, is
badly injured from undue fermenta-
ton, which drives off the ammonia.
Excessive wet weather teaches out the
soluble and most valuable elements.
If hauled directly to the field, much of
the material used for bedding will be
of no value as a manure for some time
because it is undecomposed. Winter
rains also tend to leach out and carry
off soluble matter while the ground is
frozen and unable to absorb it, although
this loss is very small on all except
hillsides, that work badly.
A good method of treating manure
is to provide a shelter for it, making
the shed so hogs a be turned In to
mix it. A cheap shed, or a lean to-
will keep off the teaching rains. Ar
range the hog pen so it a be CON
nected with this shed. After cleaning
the stables, let the hogs in for a half
day or so. Have the bottom of the
shed a little lower than the surround
ing surface, rs this will prevent the
escape of liquid manure Sometimes
the heap is disposed to become too dry.
Remove a few boards from the roof and
let the rain get in for an hour OF two.
Of course this is not as convenient as
the basement barn, but it is vastly
superior to the common practice and
does not require much extra labor or
expense.-American Agriculturist.

Vast and populous as China, is the eXpc-
rirnce Of The present century shows that
she IS veal; for aggressive purposes. She
has not the hold ON territory adjacent to
her borders which she could claim hun.
dred years ago. European nations are
pressing on her, both ON the south and on
the north. She has been forced to cedc a
portion Of her territory to England, and
she has been compelled 10 avail herself of
the help ot Euglishncn, both for civil adj
minlstratiou and for military command
All these things show that an expansion
of the Chinese race does not necessarily in
Nolve an extension of Chinese dominion.
On the contrary, they tend to prove that it
is the order introduced by European admin
istration which leads to the multiplication
Of these industrious people, and there is
therefore at least as much ground for say
ing that, though Borneo, Sumatra and New
Guinea and the great islands Of the eastern
archipelago may be ultimately peopled by
yellow races, they will be governed by the
white races as for believing that new
Chinese empire is in process of formation.
y Chinese India may, i'll other words, be
developed in these great and fertile islands.
