Some Poultry Suggestions.


A western poultry raiser makes the
following observations:
The inside arrangements of hen
house should be made movable, so that
in cleaning out or whitewashing, the
nests and roosts may be easily carried
outside.
A child's broom is far better to use in
whitewashing than whitewash brush.
We keep lime where our fowls can
have free access to it, and almost any
time in the day there may be seen one
or two or more fowls picking over the
lime pile.
Charcoal is another essential; the
fowls need it; sharp grit they must have
or they will not remain healthy very
long. Many chicken dies with chol-
era, simply for the want Of grit, or
gravel.
am often asked which is best to set
hens, on or above the ground. think
there Is little difference where she. is
placed; if she has good fresh eggs and
is not molested she will probably make
good hatch.
A setting hen ought to have nest
large enough to turn around in, but
not so large that she can not gather
the eggs up under her and keep them
snug and warm; If a nest is so fiat that
the eggs keep rolling out from under
the hen every time she moves, they
will get chilled one at a time, and the
consequence is poor hatch. Setting
hens should be busted heavily with in
sect powder two or three times during
the three or four weeks it takes her to
bring off brood of chickens, for lice
cause a great uneasiness to setting
hens.

place being below each basket. Upon
the top of the basket there is a straw
cover which fits closely, and is kept
shut during the process. When the
eggs are brought they are put in the
baskets, the fire is lighted beneath
them, and uniform heat maintained.
In four or five days after the eggs have
been subjected to this temperature they
are taken carefully out, one by one, to
a door, in which are number Of holes
nearly the size of the eggs. They are
held against these holes, and the at
tendants, looking through them, are
able to tell whether they are good or
not. In nine or ten days after this,
that is, about fourteen days from the
commencement, the eggs are taken
from the baskets and spread out on
shelves. Here no fire heat is applied,
but they are covered over with cotton
and kind of blanket, under which
they remain about fourteen days more,

shells and come forth. The natives en-

Stopping Cows.

There is general belief that slop-
ping cows greatly increases their flow
of milk, and that the resulting yield
is correspondingly poorer in butter
fats, and to prove, or disprove this, the
experiment station at Guelph, Ont, has
for the past two years been expert
menting along this line, and to their
surprise there Is practically nothing in
the belief. The cows, when fed the
grain in form of slop, would, If fed
once a day, give slightly more milk
ord slightly lower, but not uniform
percentage of fat, about 0.4 of / per
cent; but in every instance where slop
was fed twice day, there was a
marked falling off in milk yield These
tests were conducted in periods of 30
days each, SO as to get the full effect
OF the feed, and in the general aver
ages the dry-grain fed cows came out
ahead. AS to the variation of fat con-
tent Of the milk, the sum total OF all
the averages showed that there was
no more loss in the end than the varia-
tions found in the fat content of cows
fed dry foods, and the sum total of
two years experiments Is against the
idea that slop food increases the milk
yield. If anything is to be deduced
from the tests it Is that cows gave less
milk IL the stopping was very marked,
end the percentages of fat yielded were
actually inconseqvential so far as
change was concerned in either case.
The conclusions ale that the best
''slop" that can be led TO COW is a
good ration of corn, silage, roots or
dncured grain folders, and the drink
that COW has is best In the form of
good water, governed by the inclina-
tion of the animal to drink.
