AMONG THE POULTRY.

POUITRS seldom tires of milk.
SAVE some 1nIiIet seed for feeding
young chickens.
KEEP all hens that moult early.
They viii be the first to lay.
IN raising early hroilers for market
a good incubator and brooder is neces
sary.
RED pepper is temporary stimulant
and increases the appetite for short
time only.
NOTHING will more effectually pre-
vent hen from laying than an ex-
elusive diet of corn meal.
The early Matched pullets may be
kept for laying, but for breeding a
sufficient number of old hens should
be kept.
them plenty of lime and green food.
A variety of food is essential to health
and thrift.
IF ducks are Matched out late, good
care should be taken to secure Wig
orous, thrifty growth before cold
weather sets in
WHEAT and buckwheat are consid-
cred the best grains for eggs Barley
and oats are best to induce a good
growth and development of bone and
muscle.
ONE of the greatest troubles in feed
ing poor grains is not in the loss as
compared with good grains, but in the
fact that overheated or musty grain
causes many diseases
WHEN fattening turkey do not
keep it confined more than week or
ten days or it will lose flesh. Turkeys
are too restless when deprived of their
liberty and often refuse to eat.
On the farm where a variety of fowls
is kept it is not good economy to win
ter over too many. Poultry requires
good feed and care. A small number
given good treatment will pay better
than a large number given less atten'

Winter Feeding of Pigs.

Feed pigs one pound of corn or
corn meal to twenty pounds of skim
milk This will give nutritive ratio
of one to eight, which is very suit
able one for winter feeding in warm
and dry pens. They should have some
exercise. AS the porkers approach the
time when it is proposed to sell them,
increase the proportion of corn meal to
skim milk. During the last few days
of feeding the porkers no exercise
should be allowed. Bran or oats are
neither so well adapted to the feeding
of pigs as corn meal. Pigs, like calves,
enjoy little oil meal, an ounce or SO
a day per pig If they in cline to get
too fat, reduce the corn; if too lean,
increase it. There is no certain rule
nor certain ration. The feeder should
be the judge of what is most eeonom-
ical and best for the amin all. 2. Rob.

Why a Well-known Dairyman Uses Chains

Why Well-known Dairyman Uses Chains
for Tying Cattle.
George Redburn, of the province of
Quebec, describes and illustrates his
method of fastening cows, in the
Farmers Advocate. It is not new, but
as we have had recent inquiries which
his article will answer, we have had
an illustration made and reproduce his
description as follows:
l would by all means advise the use
of the chain in tying cattle After
twenty years experience l have found
this to be the best way. 1 shall never
forget the first time 1 saw cattle fast
ened in stanchions; It reminded me
of the pictures l had seen of the way
prisoners were punished in the olden
times by being put in the stocks, and
cannot understand how any enter
prising breeder would for one moment
endure it in his buildings. The way
we fasten our Jerseys is by a chain
sliding up and down on an iron rod,
made with five-eighth-inch iron twenty
inches long, bolted to the side of the
division top and bottom. All our cows

CRIMSON GLOVER.
It's Value q Green Manure, as Pasture
and as q Selling Crop.

Crimson, or scarlet clover (Trifolium
incarnatum), is a comparatively new
plant which has been steadily growing
in popular favor during the last five
years. 1t is an annual variety, of spe-
ciaI value as a stolen crop, both for
feed and for improving the soil. 1t is
not a substitute for red clover.
The best results SO far obtained indi-
cate the latter part of the summer as
the best time for seeding. This
Will give an early spring crop for pas
ture forage OF for green manuring.
Crimson clover may be sown in
orchards. berry patches, with corn, to-
bacco. tomatoes, etc, and upon raw
ground following potatoes, melons or
other early harvested crops. 1t is not
adapted for seeding with wheat or rye.
Twelve pounds of seed should be al
lowed to the acre. Experience shows
that the seed takes better when lightly
covered. Failure to secure good
stand results generally from heavy
rains just after sprouting has COM
menced. American seed is superior to
foreign.
Crimson clover, in common with
other plants. requires good soil for its
best development, though it is well
adapted for light lands. 1t will catch
readily and grow well where red
clover will not thrive, and is also more
hardy. 1t will also make use of the
mineral constituents not available to
the cereals, hence good crops may be
obtained on naturally poor or worm
out lands, fertilized with potash and
phosphoric acid only. The use of the
crop as green manure will rapidly
improve the condition of the land.
Experiments conducted at the Jersey
station show that the crimson clover
possesses many advantages. A crop
six inches high April 24 showed an
amount of nitrogen equal to that con-
tanned in ten tons of city manure or
nitrate of soda to the value of fifteen
dollars. On May II a crop averaging
thirteen inches high contained nitro
gen 10 the e-l.e of twenty-five dollars
azpd a half.
Crimson clover provides a good pas

The Most Profitable System Is That As

The Most Profitable System Is That As
surfing Rapid Growth.
Under such conditions as we have in
this state. writes Prof. John A. Craig,
of Wisconsin-andt they represent those
of the greater portion of the middle
states-the most profitable system of
making money is that which has in
view high feeding and rapid gain from
birth to the block. From the data that
| have secured from experimenting
during the past three years in the
feeding of lambs at all times of their
lives until one year old, the most profit
able method of feeding is undoubtedly
that which keeps them doing the best
they can from the start to finish,
by liberal feeding of grain. and fold
ing them on green crops. The lambs
before weaving should get such grain
as bran, and, at ordinary prices, some
oil meal; then, after weaving, some
oats together with clover aftermath,
rape or white turnips, and when put
up in the sheds-if the feeding is car
ried that far-fed for quick gains, SO
that they weigh $50 pounds when fin
ished inside of years time. This sys-
tenn. if rightly understood, is more
profita BILE than the common one which
does not provide the lamb with any
grain before weaving, but only pas
ture until ia ttening starts on the ar.
rival of winter. Considering the cost
of the extra food and giving the lambs
the same care every way. except that
one group was fed grain from the start
and the othernot, have found as much
as fifty cents per head more profit from
those that had grain continuously,
even though the grain were charged to
them at market prices, 1t is the great
est gain in flesh, the increased clip of
wool and the higher price per pound
which they bring, even in our local
market, that produces this extra
profit. And further, the granted
lambs are ready to sell at any time that
the market prices are high.-Prairie

and boil it to pieces, or to broth. Add
sufficient salt to season, and cooked

While boiling add sufficient Of mix
