WHEN AND HOW TO FEED,

These are questions that are an
swered in various ways. We will now
compare few of them to see which we
will accept as our standard, writes =.
w. L. Herm, of Indiana.
There is class of farmers that pay
but little attention to their fowls and
only feed them once week, if ut all.
giving them all they can eat. They
will have their fill, too, if he gives
them chance. Such farmers spend
the greater part of their time walking
in the garden and fields and say "It
doesn't pay to keep EN-" Tho hens
roost in the trees, for the hen house, il
there is one, is full of lice and filth.
The hens die of indigestion (he de-
clares it's cholera thougb) from eating
SO much at one time in order to make
up for the long vacations.
We come now to the man who feeds
only once day, that is in winter.
Corn is his only food, too. His fowls
are dying from indigestion aud bowel
disease caused by the fowls eating too
much at time.
A method that is hard to make some
see is mistake is feeding threo times
day. They argue that man eats his
three meals day. why not the fowls.
Fowls that are fed three times day
expect to do nothing but cat and
grow fat. They have no reasons
to exercise, and, of course, lay
few eggs. Let fowls learn to work
for themselves. 1t makes them hustle
about. and their blood circulates more
freely. which is sure to bring eggs
soon. They cannot live on nothing,
nor with no chance to even scratch
for their living.
My way is to feed half feed in the
morning. warm mash is the best in the
winter, then they still have au appe.
tite to work OF scratch for half pint OF

Monks That Arc Expert Seamen.

An Odessa letter of recent date
says: zone of the oldest vessels
afoat arrived few days ago in
Odessa, and is now moored in the
lower quay. She belongs to the con-
vent on Mount Athos and is called the
Holy Prophet lila (Elias). She is
brig rugged and sails under the Turk
ish flag, but a Greek cross is carried
on both mastheads, and she differs
from the ordinary Turkish ships by
her scrupulous cleanness. The cap
tair is Jeromonach, n monk ranking
higher than friar, and all the sailors
are monks or lay brothers; still, they
are expert seamen.
'The pilot. Father Iraklij (Her-
culius), has crossed all the oceans and
zones, sailing around tho wide world
since 1866. The entire crew speak
both Russian and Greek. Service on
tho ship alternates with worship in
the little church in the forocastle. It
is quite curious sight to behold
these monks in their long frocks and
sandals climbing up tho masts, along
the yardarms, reefins sails or hanging
almost over the water on the foremost
point of tho bowsprit.
''The brig brought here load of
bricks from Constantinople. and goes
in ballast to Marinpol, where she will
take cargo of flour, corn, fish and
other provisions which are to furnish
the supply for the convent for whole
year.
According to the sail.monk's own
statements, the Holy Prophet lila is
smart sailor, and runs eleven knots
and hour in fair wind. She is 105
feet long and carries cargo Of 200
tons"

at frequent intervals, the idea being

Barrels of tar and rubbish in different
parts of the orchard are available TO,
making smudge of smoke, which il
tho most practicable means yet dc
vised. In the case Of freeze, such
rs visited California two years ago and
Florida last winter, or real hard
frost in other sections, neither OF
these methods is of much avail.
Smoke is good against all light frosts,
and is easily obtained. Strawy ma
nure, leaves, rubbish, etc., should be
piled i'll the lowest places and about
the sides, and covered with hay caps
or ducking previously painted with
two coats of linseed oil and dried), SO
as to be always dry. Have a barrel
of kerosene oil handy, some cans and
torches. When frost threatens, set
a night watch to inspect thermomet-
ers placed on stakes in various parts
OF the field, especially in the most ex-
to thlrty-fvo degrees by l or 2 a. m.
it is likely to mean frost of more or
less severity before sunrise. Then call
up the folks, light the torches and let
each person take torch and oil can
previously filled) and set fire to the
row of rubbish heaps previously as
signed him. Ii the wind blows the
smoke away from the field carry some
rubbish over to that side 80 the smoke
will be blown on to instead of off from
the field. If the danger never comes,
no expense worth mentioning has
been incurred as the piles can be scat
tered and plowed under for manure or
burned, the ashes making excellent
fertilizer. No prudent person thinks
of leaving his buildings uninsured
against fire. Certainly it is just as
TO insure againt frosts SO
far rs it can be done by such simple
means as smoke coverings or water.
We wish all who have had experience
in this matter would send it for publ
cation. Mr.. e. p. Powell, n successful
and brainy horticulturist in Western
New York, writes:
"The very best preventive against
frost is not fires hut thorough spray
ing with water during the evening
and night. When this can be done,
we can overcome the danger from
fall of two or three degrees. This will
often save our whole crop. This last
spring | lost my grapes by margin of
not more than two degrees. but on II
preceding night anticipated the frost
by deluging the trellises with water.
Of course bonfires may also be used.

Where Things viii Keep.

In the polar regions seal oil is
buried in tho ground in bags of skin.
Meat is heaped upon platforms built
among trees, which are peeled of bark
in order to keep bears from climbing
up them. Little sticks with sharp
points upward are buried in the ice to
distract the attention of the bears
from the provisions overhead. An
other kind of storehouse is in the
shape Of strong pen, the main sup
ports of which are standing trees, with
brush and logs piled on top to keep
out wild animals.
During the salmon catching season
in arctic Alaska the heads of the fish

TRAINING THE HEIFER.

"A uelIeT buOulu Hot 20 given 100
rich or stimulating food for a week
before calving. A pint of oil meal in
thin Cruel given every day for the
week before will generally prevent
any trouble with the placenta. The
udder must be closely watched, as
heifers are peculiarly liable to inlam-
nation. Should it become unusually
distended, it may be necessary to
draw from the teats from one to sew
eral quarts of milk in order to pre-.
vent inflammation. II this is done, it
must be performed ut regular intervals.
As soon as possible after calving give
warm bran mash, protect the heifer
from cold and wet and supply her fre-
quently with moderate amount of
water from which tho chill has been
taken: feed moderately and give flax
seed Cruel, warm bran mash or other
laxative food.
Authorities disagree as to whether
it is best to separate the COW and calf
at once or to leave them together for
the first three days. We prefer the
latter method. The udder at this
time is apt to be inilamed and hard
ened and the sucking of the calf is the
easiest method of softening and re-
ducing 1t, and the milk is ut this time
unfit for use. II the udder is very
dstendcd the COW should be MIXED
Immediately after calving, but il not
it is best to let the calf be the first to
reduce it.
The COW should be regularly MIXED
night and morning ut the usual time,
SO as to remove any milk left by the
calf. This is a very important pre-
caution, and any neglect of it might
seriously injure tho COW by leaving
portion to produce Inflammation. 1t
has another great advantage, how.
ever. II accustoms tho heifer to hand
milking AS well as to sucking, and
when tho latter ceases with the re-
moval of the calf tho usual per-
formance OF breaking is largely
avoided, tho milk is not held up or the
pail kicked over, nor is there nearly
such undue excitem ent ut the loss OF
her calf, her affections having been
equally divided between her offspring
and tho gentle coaxing milker who
feeds and pets her. Tho so-called
maternal instinct is simply the desire
to supply nourishment for the young.
aud the heifer thus skilfully managed
classes tho calf and mixer in the
same category aud yields her milk as
freely to one as to the other.
As habits soCn become second
nature We cannot be too careful about
those formed by the future COW. One
OF the worst is tho habit of shrinking
III the milk as scon NJ the pastures he.
gin to fall. Tho reason for thisin the
beginning IL the deficiency OF nutri-
ment in the ripening grass. But the
habit once formed by tho heifer will
cling to the COW through succeoliug
years even though tho caase bc re-.
moved by supplying bran ar shorts IN
addition. We may iind this expen.
tive. but as We educate child 10 iii

grudgins the cost. 81 must wo trea,

SUNTJOWEES.

IL would seem as II the extensive
cultivation of the sundower were one
OF the probabilities of the near future
i'll American agriculture. The merits
of this plant as feeding crop have
been long appreciated in Canada, the
heads being mixed with corn and
other fodder plants in the silo, while
the leaves are gathered as those of
corn, and are found acceptable and
nutritious. The seeds also are valua-
ble, not only as a food for fowls but
also for cattle, horses and other stock,
while the roots make excellent fuel.
The product of an acre is from thirty
to eighty and sometimes more bushels
OF thirty-three pounds.
The sudden awakening in this coun.
try to the merits of the sunhower has
been caused by the appearance on the
market of sunfower meal, which
threatens to become formidable rival
of oil meal. This product has origin
ated in Russia, where sunhowers have
long been largely grown for food and
forage purposes. Suuhower cake has
always been esteemed one of the best
auxiliary cattle foods in that country.
This cake is the residual product OBJ
tanned after the extraction by
hydraulic means of the oil of the seeds
of the sunhower.
The oil has long been valuable for
its superior quality for table and
other uses, Lut the cake has not found
foreign market owing to its hard
ness. Now that the question of its
disintegration has been successfully
solved, it will doubtless soon be in
general demand owing to its compost
tion and palatability for fattening cat
tie. 1t has been found possible to
prepare two qualities of the meal. one
rich in proteid and poor in fat and the
other rich in fat and poor in proteid.
The crop is an easy one to raise, as
suniiower3 will grow readily on al
most any kind of soil and it seems as

pAsrEumztNa MILK AND CREAM.

Pasteurizing gets rid of bad bac-
terra. But it does not discriminate,
and also kills tho good bacteria, leav-
ing milk and cream comparativelyifree
from germs. Tho kind of germs de-
sired can then be given the start of
others. and good results be secured.
Stale milk has been experimental
with and The effect of tho nauseous
germs forestalled, good cultures from
pure milk introduced and propagated
in the milk and fine flavor secured.
The true way is to allow none but
the desired germs to gain access to
milk or cream. 1t is right never to
allow disease germs to enter our
houses, but these things are not un-
der our absolute control. Bad germs
are in the air. We have them to con-
tend with. The essential thing is not
to let them get the mastery. Here is
where one of the advantages of pas
teurizing comes in. 1t checks the
germ growth. 1t is like plowing up
the soil and destroying existing
growth, and then following with what
is desired by planting the seeds. We
hope to see much advance made this
year Ill this line. Creamery journal.
