Under normal conditions it is as
natural for hen to lay as it is for q
pig to squeal or for man to follow
Adams example and blame the woman
VIXEN anything goes wrong. Something
has gone wrong with the non-layers,
and II is the business of the poultry
man to investigate and remove the
cause. There are several reasons why
certain members of the flock may not
produce eggs during the winter, while
other members under the same care
and feed may be making glad the
heart of the owner
1t will generally be found that the
non-layers are the late moulters, which
winter found in mn enfeebled condi-
ton. All their energies are concen-
trated on picking up and regaining
their normal strength. This is, of
course, much slower work than IN
summer. But if the poultrymen will
bear with them they will reward his
patience by being the earliest of the
spring layers, and will keep on laying
far into the summer. While prices
are not then as high as in the winter,
yet the greater number of eggs laid
and the lessened cost of production
will go far to make up the difference.
The other great cause of non-pro-
duction is over-fatness. All the birds
of the flock are fed together and re-
ceive the amount of food sufficient for
their wants in the opinion of the owner.
While this may be proper proportion
rs far as the bulk of the flock is con.
sidored, yet it may be too much in in
dividual cases. The constitutions of
hens vary like those of human beings.
Some will fatten on what will only
suffice to keep others in fair condition.
Now, fat and egg production are diam
etrically opposed to each other. They
cannot be combined. Therefore, it
behooves the good poultry keeper to
keep careful watch of his flock, find
out non-layers and separate them from
the working fowls and cut down their
rations. 1t is also well to vary the
feed, as the appetites of some are
more capricious than that of others. -

ROAST BEEF WITH YORKSHIRE.

If you have only one pan, take up the
meat, pour off the gravy and put in
the pudding. Cut in squares and gar
nish the beef with these. Anothe
method is to have pan that has
squares stamped in it. This gives even
squares and crust on all the edges,
which baking in the fat pan does not.
When the meat is roasted in the tin
kitchen, let the pudding bake in the
oven for half an hour, and then place
it under the meat to catch the drip.

WHY EGGS DON'T HATCH.

Year after year the same experience
in failing to hatch most of the early
eggs set Eggs not fertilized cannot
hatch. Unnatural conditions prevail
in winter and early spring. The birds
get lite or no meat, shells, gravel, and
some even lack exercise enough. Most
of them shiver about daily for hours
with feet wet and feathers more or less
so. Provide everything for the flock
kept for producing sittings. Do every
thing for their comfort; don't forget
them once and then look for better re-
suits at Matching time. The owner of
thrifty lot of early pullets that will
lay eggs of gold next fall and winter is
the careful thrifty fellow who today
provides for fertile egg production. -

FEED FOR A FRESH COW.

A newly-calved COW need not be fed
full rations until week after the calf
is born. Especially with young COW
heving her first calf, the feed is to be
carefully increased from the previous
allowance, beginning at the end of the
fourth day after the COW comes in.
After this, the food may be increased
gradually from an allowance of two
pounds of meal, in addition to full
quantity of good hay, until the limit
of profit and safety IN the feeding is
reached. No one knows, until it is
tried how much grain food COW will
consume safely and profitably for it is
not always profitable to feed COW as
much as she will eat, unless at the
same time the milk product increases
in a proportionate degree. The full
feeding of any COW after calving should
not be reached until the second week,
for if the feed be given to excess the
COW may be permanently injured by

Lost Blood Replaced With Salt Water.

DIR. Wyeth, speaking at the meeting
of the New York State Association of
Railway Surgeons, strongly recon-
mended the injection into tho circule-
ton through a vein of hot salt solu-
tion to take the place, in part of the
volume of blood which has been lost
as a result of accident. As reported
by the Railway Age, he spoke as fol-
lows: "The solution which have en-
ployed, running in as much as five
pints in a single operation, is com.
posed of clear water, which has been
boiled and allowed to cool to 40 or
100 Fahrenheit, or just as hot as the
hand can bear to every pint of which
teaspoonful of common salt is added.
I have seen the pulse go from 140, in
cases of tremendous hemorrage steadily
down to seventy to the minute within
two minutes of the injection Of pint
of this solution. While it may be used
cooler than 110 degrees Fahrenheit,
and in some emergencies this may be
necessary, it is safer to give it as hot
as Ito to 100 degrees, because the cold
solution robs the body of its heat,
while the hot solution carries heat
with it, and thus adds to the mainten.
ance of the normal temperature. The
apparatus is simple-a metal or glass
pipette to go into the vein, rubber
tube three or four feet long, and al
irrigator bag or vessel"

ture of the coal. A few extra dollars
would build n one-story extension at
the rear, used as a store room or wood
shed, and in the summer as a laundry

its economical arrangement of rooms

STOMACH OF THE HORSE.

1t is important to remember that
the digestive apparatus of horse is
the exact opposite of that of COW.
The stomach of horse is single bag,
and very small one. 1t is too little
to contain even an ordinary feed of
oats. By the time that two-thirds Of
it has been swallowed as much is
passing out of the stomach rs is being
eaten. In consequence of this very
large proportion of horses food is
not digested in the stomach, but is
showed along into the bowels. The
horse in state of nature is an animal
that is almost always feeding. He
cannot like the COW or OK, pack away
large quantity of food and then lie
down and chew it thoroughly, nor
indeed at all. For this reason horse
ought to be fed little and often, and
should not be watered soon after
feeding grain. The frequent trouble
which arises from overeating in horses
is best avoided by acting in accordance
with these facts of horses construc-
ton; giving small but frequent feeds,
and when at work, at least, giving
grain, rather than any considerable
quantity OF hay.

cakes, and for made meat dishes has

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Sunshine is the best and cheapest
medicine.
Be sure your hens have tight roofs
over them.
During 1894 we only imported sixty
stations from Great Britain.
The grooming of a horse is second
only to his diet in Importance.
For meat and eggs the Plymouth
Rocks and Wyandottes have no

While variety of food is excellent,
all sudden and entire changes should
be avoided.
Quality, style, size and action are
indispensable qualifications of good
coach horses.
If you are keeping many COWS don't
let one old scrub keep down the record
of the whole herd.
Darkening the rooms where nests
are placed, tends to prevent the fowls
from eating their eggs.
1t is claimed that the hogs natural
remedy for mango is plaster of mud.
Kerosene is also a good remedy.
Unfertile eggs can never hatch, and
never become rotten. A rotten egg
is sign that there has been germ
of life.
Good mares are too often sold to get
a good price without thought of the
great loss to the breeding in the
future.
An excellent maxim for those who
do not believe in manures or fertiliz-
ers Feed the plant and the plant will
feed you.
In making butter from strippers
churn all the milk. 1t should be

should plant the Cuthbert. 1t is q
good old sort, bstter now than very
many of the newer ones which have

1t surely must be fact that good
part of the grain that we export to
Europe comes back to us in the shape
of eggs. The number of eggs import
ed to this country every year is some
thing astonishing and ought to make

rassed.
