A hen is not old until she is aged
five or six years. The longest period
Of productive life of hen is probably
that of u Brown Leghorn, which was
killed by accident at the age of ten
years, then having nearly 1000 eggs to
her credit. This is vouched for by a
respectable and truthful poultryman
Of Massachusetts who made a special
business of breeding this variety and
was very successful with it. Light
Brahmas have been known to live
quite as long as this and yield as well
as at the beginning. But as a rule it
is not desirable to keep fowls over the
second year, because the young birds
increase SO numerously and the old
ones become tough and unfit for the
table. Fanciers who look at the feath-
ers as the principal virtue of fowl
will doubtless keep a favorite as long
as she lays eggs, as in the case of the
Brown Leghorn above mentioned.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1894-12-13
The Kind of Bird to Raiae.

Select in the makeup of fowl a
bird that carries a large amount of
meat if you want a bird for the table.
To secure meat a peculiar confgura-
ton is essential. A large, projecting
crop is unnecessary, for some of the
meatiest birds look fiat in .he breast.
1t is necessary to have the quarters ex-
tremely broad. If they round out, so
much the better, because there is meat
carried upon the breastbone. A deep
keeled bone to the breast well lined
with muscle should round out and feel
on the bird very much as a duck does
when he is dressed. Secure a bird
with large thigh, because the thigh
joint and the bone down through the
leg carries Il large amount of meat.
Look out for a good strong shoulder
because the muscles that make the
shoulder are the muscles that make
their way in the market.-Farm and
Home.

Storage is almost invariably sec
ondary consideration with the farmer.
TO raise crop eXhausts his skill,
strength, patience and financial re-
sources. The barns and cellars are
everywhere scenes of waste from lack
Of judicious care and due precaution
The invention of the silo has done a
good deal to turn the attention of pro-
ducers to new and improved methods
of storage. None of them involve
great expense, and are within the
means of any ordinary citizen. Apples
require gentle handling and to be
placed in dry clean bins, without a
leaf or stem among them. These bins
should not be more than eight inches
deep. Ventilation is not required so
much as a fixed temperature. Absolute
cleanliness, however, is the prime
requisite in keeping fruit, Prairie

NOTES FOR FARMERS.

DoN'T neglect to store some leaves
for stable litter.
- SCRUB stock and scrub farming are
always found in connection with a
scrub education.
THE farther north an apple can be
grown successfully the better the
quality and the higher the color.
OIL meal has % per cent, of protein
or muscle-forming food, and is an ex-
cellent addition to the feed of young,
growing animals.
THERE is no money now in big, fat
pork. The market calls for lean
bacon. The weight of the carcass
should not exceed two hundred pounds.
APPLES may be kept in cold storage
for many months if perfect, unbruised
fruit is selected, carefully wrapped in
paper and kept at a temperature of not
over thirty -eight degrees.
The fall months are important as
providing a time during which the
food of the stock may be gradually
changed from the succulent grasses of
summer to the dry, concentrated foods
of winter
