CHICKENS IN THE VILLAGE.

The Importance of chickens as scav-
engers cannot be over estimated. In
a recent article a well informed poul-
tryman declared that in every house
which ia the home of an average family
there is enough waste from the tableto
keep from 10 to 90 chickens, when in
addition they can have the run of all
orchard or O garden. There will be
times when grain may be added to ad-
vantage, but where a village home con
sists of n acre of ground, it is easy
to see that the insects, seeds, ETC., that
will be found provide good meat and
grain rations. The table scraps consist
of grain in the form of br ad, mush,
etc fruit Feelings and cores, meat and
bones, milk, etc. These afford a variety
that is ample for good health, steady
growth and profitable laying. Many
families will keep q pig rather than
chickens. Where the home grounds
are quite small, the division fences
cheap, low and open, and garden truck
is wanted, then the pig may be the
most useful. 1t is always desirabl,
that the kitchen wastes be disposed o
efectually. If they are thrown in tn,

back yard or in heaps at a greater dis
tance from the house they are sure to
decay, and may be a source OF trouble
some disease. Tt therefore seems the
part of wisdom to dispose of such ma
terials where they will be deprived of
any evil tendency, and converting
them into edible meat, either poultry
or pig, is an easy solution. The pig is
a good deal of an aristocrat, and must
have his servants carry all his food to
him, while chickens are not above 60
ing when the meal is. Unless the pig is
carefully cleaned and bedded his pen is
always offensive, while a very little
attention will keep the coop present
able. Where the housekeeper will not
waste time in picking up all the crumbs
from the floor and scraping the dishes
absolutely clean, the sweepings and
dishwater will carry many scraps to
the yard. After the chickens once
learn where those bits r likely to be
they will expect them and clean all up
thoroughly without any trouble on
your part. This hunting over all parts
of the ground and eating everything
that would otherwise be wasted and
produce offensive odors, if nothing
worse, makes the chicken a valuable
ally in the sanitary work of every
rural home.

THE ov1DUcr-1rs DISEASES.

EGG BoUND.-Many deaths result
from this condition. 1t is most com
mon in late winter and early spring,
owing probably to a diet tending to
ward extreme fairness. Hens OF the
smaller breeds, and especially those
having their liberty, are seldom
troubled with this disease.
A majority of the cases of egg bound
hens will be found on post mortem ex-
animation to be fat-the liver enlarged,
and the muscular system weakened,
by fatty degeneration. Not only Istat
deposited between the muscular hbres,
but many of the fbres themselves are
replaced by fat. This makes the
muscles not only weak in action, but
quite easily ruptured. In common with
other muscles, those surrounding the
oviduct (egg passage) become weak
and fabby, and if a large egg is on its
way out, or if through fright extra
strain is brought upon these muscles,
the passage is easily torn open, and
the egg passes in the abdominal cavity
and is followed by peritonitis-and
death.
Hens are sometimes found dead upon
the nest, apparently there for the pur-
pose of laying an egg, This is caused
often from the fatty condition of the
heart muscles. The action necessary
to eject the egg being too much for the
weak heart, it staggers and then stops,
and the hen is found lying dead in the
nest. An over fat hen has a deposit of
fat around the bowels, pressing not
only them, but also the lower part of
the egg passage. This acts as a foreign
body, and obstructs the passing of the
egg.-Fdrm Poultry.

When pulling the onion crop, pull
when the ground is dry and when there
is a promise of a continuance of good
weather for a few days. Let them lie
until thoroughly dry before storing
away. If piled up when moist, or
when any damp earth clings to the
tubers, it will be difficult to prevent
them from spelling, but if thoroughly
dry there are few crops that can be
more safely stored.

A dry cow should be fed well enough
to keep her in good condition, but not
90 well as to make her fat. 1t is not to
be forgotten that the condition of the
calf depends greatly on that of the COW,
and that this will suffer before thecow
does If the food is not sufficient to
maintain both in good health.

K OUT LAYERS.

How many poultrymen can pick u
q good laying hen from a strange hockG
Not many can do it; yet it can easily
be done after a short study of makeup
and characteristics, says a writer in
Northwest Farmer. There goes a hen
with q thick neck, large head, i'll
shaped, walks listlessly about, seem
ingly with no intention or purpose in
view. She does not care to scratch,
but hangs around the hen house, evi-
IDENTIFY waiting for her next feed. She
gets up late in the morning and goes
to bed early in the evening. That hen
may be put down as a very poor layer.
The eggs of some of the other hens go to
help pay her keep. Here comes another.
The walks briskly and there is an elias
ITCHY in her movements which shows
she hes something in view. She is neat
and natty in appearance, small head,
with a thin neck, nicely arched or
curved. She forages or scatches all
day long and may be too busy to come
for her evening meal. She is at the
door in the morning waiting to be let
out. She snatches a few mouthfuls Of
feed and is off to the meadow, looking
for insects. Before she gets out in the
morning she generally deposits her
daily egg in the nest, or returns after
a short forage. She is neat, clean and
tidy, with a brightness and a freshness
pleasant to the eye. That is the hen
that pays for her feed and gives a good
profit all the year round. The writer
has noticed these traits since boyhood
and knows that they are infallible. By
studying these traits any mar may, in
a few years, have a fine flock of hens.

A French agricultural writer recon-
mends the use of powdered camphor to
dry up COWS which continue to supply
milk too close to time of calving. Cows
giving about six quarts a day, three
weeks before due, were given three
doses of thirty grammes each dose and
the COWS became dry in two weeks.
