Among the Poultry

on oats.
EARLY well-developed pullets
make good winter layers.
A good egg will sink in water.
Stale eggs are glossy and smooth
of shell.
The best and strongest chickens
come from 2-year.old hens mated
to young cockerels.
The best age to begin to feed
fowls for fattening is as soon as
they are fully matured.
If insect powder is used to kill
lice care must be taken to dust it
we'll among the feathers.
Hempseed and sunfiower seeds
fed to fowls help to make the
plumage smooth and glossy.
Boiling the milk that is fed to
fowls will increase its value and
lessen the risk of it's causing disease.
Preventing diseases among the
poultry is safer than curing. Good
food, pure water, eileen quarters pre-
vent disease.
-Geese may be kept at small
cost provided good pasturage and
plenty of water can be supplied
conveniently.
Gather up and store away a
good supply OF road dust. 1t will
be useful this winter for dust baths
in the hen house.
If properly managed hen will
lay her weight in eggs in year,
but to do this she requires proper
material in feeding
Fowls that have a good variety
of food do not require artificial stimu-
lants to induce them to lay or to
keep them in good health.
Nothing is more fatal to profit
able poultry keeping than over
crowding, especially in winter, when
the fowls must be more or less con-
fined.
Make beginning with a good
breed, one that is medium in size,
good layers, good table fowls, con-
stitutionally strong and good for
ayers.
"A thrifty turkey can be made
very fat in 10 days by liberal feed
ing with a good fattening ration,
but the turkey must not be kept
too long or it will begin to lose.
In nearly all cases fowls
should have their grain scattered.
Picking it from the ground will not
only afford them exercise but also
give opportunity for all to get a
share.
DO not sell the hens which
moulted early. If we'll fed and
comfortably sheltered they will be-
gin to lay before cold weather sets
in. Late moulting hens, however,
should nearly always be sold.
When the cabbage, turnips,
beets and potatoes are harvested,
save the small, unmarketable ones
and store them away to feed the
poultry during the winter. They
can be made to take the place OF
green food.
Turkeys are great foragers, and
will gather good part of their
food from the fields so long as they
can have a free range They will
need feeding to fatten and also dur
ing the winter, especially when the
ground is covered with snow.
Feed should not be kept con-
stantly before the hens for two rea-
sons. AS Tonga they have plenty
to eat they will not forage for them
selves. They viii also eat more

The olive, oak, laurel, myrtle,
rosemary, cypress, amarinth and
parsley are all funereal plants
among the Greeks and Romans. ITO
be in need of parsley" was a Greek
euphemism indicating the death OF
the person SO described. An Athe-
MAN army once marching against
the Lacedemonians was stamped on
its way out of the city by meeting
two mules laden with parsley, the
omen being that the whole army
would soon be in need of that article.

Live stock on the Farm.


Live stock ON the Farm
The necessity to enrich our fields
was never 81 pressing as now. Feed
the stock for the manure, and take
proper care to utilize it and make
of it as much as possible, as is best
developed by modern intensive
farming in more skillful, systematic
method. All this implies plenty of
stock on the farm, as the keynote to
successful farming, and if we breed
stock at all, breed and feed only
good stock, to get some profit out Of
the stock, some profit out of the
feed, and some profit out Of the ma
nure to enrich the field to increase
the future crops, as though you were
in farming to stay. This hand-to-
mouth farming, uncertain what to
raise, and always quitting stock
when prices are down and going
into something else when prices are
up, is wasting the substance of
thousands of farmers uncertain
whether to farm or not, while the
farmer who plans his crops and his
stock as though he had faith in
farming and stock-growing always
has some good stock to sell that
commands top prices; and whether
prices are up or down be makes
money, and as times improve he is
in condition to get the full benefit
of good prices, while the farmers
who lost their courage and quit
must start in again and breed up.
All classes of stock have had their
ups and downs. Sheep farmers
have too often sacrificed their sheep
because wool was too low, while the
more enterprising farmers graded
up to the large mutton sheep and
have held their own, and now with
Spring lambs and mutton sheep is
independent of wool. A few years
ago farmers gave away their pigs,
now the boom for swine breeding is
sweeping the country, and hundreds
of dollars are freely paid for a good
pig. The boom in cattle overdid
that interest. The fall of the big
ranches signaled the decline, and
thousands of farmers quit cattle,
with nothing better id view. Now
all are clamoring to buy at the ad-
vancing prices to get stock to feed
the big cropof corn, while those who
had faith in cattle get the full ben
eft of the better prices, cheap feed
and increasing demand. The horse
less age has not yet come, and the
industrial world and the industrious
farmer must still use horses, but
great change demands better horses
than ever before. W

The Lily Fields of Bermuda.

II is the popular impression that the
production of lily blossoms for the Easter
season in this country is an important in
dustry in the Bcrmudas. The fact Is that
the blossoms are only a byproduct Incl
dental TO the growing of lily bulbs to be
sent to Europe and America. The expor-
tation of the blossoms is small except at
the Easter season, and at any other time Of
year when the plants are blooming the
blossom, are given to visitors. The SAME
Is true of frecsias, which are grown in
great numbers.
The soil and climate of the Bermudas
are especially favorable to the growing of
the lily, and the bulbs are an important
product, sharing with onions and potatoes
the attention of cultivators The lily grow
er separates the bulb into parts and plants
each part The new bulbs are not export
ed the first year, but are the second 1t
takes four years TO produce the great
bulbs three inches in diameter, from
which spring the tall stalks crowned with
many blossoms. The grower has boards
with four holes of different sizes, and the
bulbs are sorted by passing them through
these holes. One sees in Bermuda lily
fields covered with plants varying i'm
height from n few inches to two or three
feet The small ones are the stalks from
young bulbs The tallcst are the ones
sent to this country at Easter. The bulbs
are removed from the ground in summer
and set out again in the autumn.
Bulb growing is profitable and certain
The grower can be reasonably sure of the
price from year to year, and he usually
hopes to make a profit of about 81 Icr

A Witty Answer,

A bright youth undergoing examina-
ton for admission to one of the govern
ment departments found himself con-
fronted with the question:
"What is the distance from the earth
to the sun?''
Not knowing the exact number of
miles, he wrote IN reply:
II am unable to state accurately, but
don't believe the sun is near enough
to interfere with the proper performance
of my duties if get this clerkship."

Evils of Tempting Children.

Many mothers resent the advice given
by outsiders, but even the great, tender
hearted maternal world is not unfrequently
blinded to faults that others readily see
and can more safely criticise.
One of the most cruel and short sighted
actions in the world is that of tempting
children A mothcr-necessarily of none
too robust moral fiber herself-thinks it
necessary that her children should learn
to resist temptation Accordingly instead
of helping them to overcome those temp
tations that offer themselves every day I'M
solicited she purposely arranges bait by
means of which the children may be en-
trapped and then Furnishes them if they do
not prove strong enough to conquer in the
unequal struggle. There is something al
most demoniacal In the idea of forbidding
a small child to eat sweets and then leav-
ing it in the room with an open box of
confectionery, yet mothers who consider
themselves tender and devoted have done
this and similar things, apparently with n
quiet conscience. If a temptation of half
the strength had befallen them, they would
have inevitably yielded to 1t in spite of
mature reasoning powers and self control,
yet they expect their inexperienced little
ones to be incorruptible
The most sheltered condition offers to
the infantile mind continual temptation to
steal, to lie, to rebel against proper author
ity--in short, to indulge In miniature in
nearly all the evil of the great world To
put additional stumbling blocks in the
path of the child is not only thoughtless-
it is morally criminal The road to genu
inc goodness is difficult enough to men and
women How much more rough is it for
the little untried feet of children. in whom
natural impulse works as yet unchecked
by the moral sense?-EXchange

Though throned upon Jaunty stem,
And clasping tight golden gem,
With star of silver browning them.

And look for now she wanders nigh
Along the woodland macy;
