bers, nor anywhere within the cellar.
The poultry must have had vermin
when they were first put into the base
ment, for the old house from which
they were taken showed it plainly
enough. I now put the basement in
thorough order, everything tidy, with
new nests ard roosts From that time

am sure of this fact for the discov.
cry was so remarkable that made re-
peated examinations to see if any ver-
min could be found, and to discover,
if could, the cause of its absence.
1t certainly was new to me to have q
poultry house without vermin, and ]
never had poultry IN healthier condi.
tion, or laying better, than during
those six years. 1 found the poultry
business both pleasant and profitable.
Yet l never could decide what it was
that kept the parasites away from the
fowls and the house, except it may
have been the brick walls, that were
always a little cool and moist to the
touch of the hand, and probably not
suited to the life of the vermin. What
ever the true cause may be, the fact
remains that this basement poultry
house, with walls of brick, surrounded
by earth nearly to the top on the out
side, with a good roof overhead, and
kept clean and dry, made a roosting
place where no vermin would come to
feed upon and annoy the fowls.

WEEDS AND RASPBERRIES.

In paper upon weeds and wedding
prepared for the meeting OF the
Pennsylvania State Board of Agricul-
ture Mr.. Cummings, of Sunbury, said !:
''The plantain was called by the
Indians the white mans footstep, as
it was abundant in or near hard.
trodden paths, and not much else
where. 1t is especially abundant in
places where poultry is kept. Some
entomolosists claim that an insect
parasite destroys it in the field, but
the parasite is itself destroyed around
mans dwelling by poultry. Afurther
reason why plantain does not grow in
fields is that it is plant hardy enough
when grown alone, but easily
smothered when grown surrounded
by clover or other plants, and usually
does not infest clover fields unless its
seed was mixed with that of the
clover.
"Some years ago l put out 1900
raspberry plants, and the summer
following the spriug of planting it
was n question whether berry plants
or weeds were being grown. When
the plants were put out they were
pretty close to the ground and proper
horse cultivation could not be given
them because the rows of plants could
not be seen for the weeds and briars.
Finally men were employed and weeds
and briars were pulled out by hand.
A number of rows were discarded on
account of their growth being stunted
and smothered by weeds. The fist
year there were not enough berries to
make it an object to market them.
The second year fifty-five bushels.
The third year ninety-seven bushels,
and this year the prospects are bright
for over hundred. The berry patch
was located on piece OF ground that
was grown up with briars, burdock,
sumach and all kinds of weeds, and
the great mistake was in not cleaning
it out, and putting it in some summer
crop in the preceding year. This
hint is thrown out for the benefit of
those intending to plant berries or
other small fruits, which need regular
cultivation to give good return for
money and time expended"

DAIRY CALVES.

A transition stage from new to skim
three weeks old, according to- the
vigor of the calf and the strength of
its digestion. With very robust calves
the change may commences when they
are a week old, but generally speak
ing it would be better to begin later
with the skim milk. Only little Of
that is given at first, then more with
every meal. The new milk ration is
gradually decreased until the whole
ration is skim milk. The whole transi-
tion period need not cover more than
two weeks. AS soon US the new milk
ration is withheld in any degree, some
substitute should be given i'll its stead,
to supply, in part at least, the butter
fat that is thus withheld. There is no
better substitute than faxseed. 1t
may be prepared and given as follows
Take quart of haxseed and inn
merse it in six to eight quarts OF
water; soak for six hours, then boil
for one hour. OF the jelly thus made
feed the calf enough to answer the
purpose. Commence by giving half
teacupful and increase gradually. Two
indications will tell us when the calves
are getting too much one is that they
will become too lax in their bowels,
and the second is that they will get
too feshy. When either of these in
dicstions manifests itself, we can Less
en- the amount of haxseed given in the
milk.
1t is imperative that dairy calves be
not allowed to get too feshy. just
as soon as they become too tieshy, Il
bias of the system is given in that di-
rection, and this interferes with best
milking qualities. Inattention to this
matter has brought injury to many
dairy COW, and has injured her per
manently; that is to say, through the
whole of the period of milk giving.
Those habits of the system begotten
in early calfhood become, as 1t were,
an inherent part of the animal, 50
