Keep the Ducklings Dry.

1t is claimed that the PeE1in duck
will thrive well without ponds. II is
true that the ducllings can be more
easily raised away from ponds or
streams than when allowed to have ac-
cess thereto, but this is due to the fact
that most ducklings are Matched with
incubators during the winter season,
when the cold waters of the pond
would chill them and cause loss. Young
ducks will thrive better if they are
kept away from the ponds until they
are well featbered; but despite all
claims in favor of the Pekin duck as
being adapted to dry locations, my ex-
perience is that the adult ducks are
more contented when they have pond.
Like all aquatic birds, they enjoy the
water, and though they will thrive on
an open field away from water Except
for drinling), yet they give the best re
suits when they have the privileges of
a pond.-Farm and Fire side.

clover Plants and Nitrogen.

The bacteria on the roots of the
clover plants which store up nitrogen
are more numerous and active when
the plant is young than when it is old,
and having the plant in the soil. it
would be best to let it remain there
until it was nearly mature, or until its
active period of growth had passed.
Soon after crimson clover begins to
bloom it ceases to produce nitrogen.
With red clover it is different, because
it IS a biennial; that is, provided the
borers and the clover seed nudge do
not destroy it. In recent years in cen
trail New York it is impossible to get
more than one crop from it on account
of the ravages of the root borer. The
second crop of red clover plowed under
when in bloom will be at the period
when its beneficial influences have
measurably ceased The first crop
should be cut for hay. The second
crop will be worth no thing for seed on
a"e"''pt of the clover seed nudge.

AMoNa THE pouLTRr.


WHOLE wheat is better for growing
fowls than corn.
THERE are few kinds of poultry that
pay better than guineas.
Do NOT allow the ducklings to go to
the ponds until they are fully feath-
cred.
LIME will kill lice; it is a good disin-
fectant; it will purify the air; it will
make the poultry house clean and free
from vermin.
OATS stimulate without enervating
or fattening. They form good ra-
ton to reduce the fat of hens that are
too fat to lay well.
FEATHER pulling is largely due to
idleness. It is most liable to occur in
active breeds that are kept confined
and have little exercise.
The only hens that it will pay to
keep through the winter are those that
can be relied upon for winter layers or
that are needed for breeders.
In raising poultry for market the
profit lies in Matching early, pushing
the chickens forward as much as pos
sible and marketing them early.
THERE never was a time when care
full selection failed to give good re-
suits, especially when extra attention
is given to the selection of the male.
FEEDING wheat has a tendency to
produce healthy growth, build up
the muscular tissues and aid material
~ to cause the hens to lay plenty of
rich eggs.
TURKEYS do not bear confinement
well, whether young or old. When
shut up they soon NOPE and droop
their wings and begin to fall off in
condition.
EGGsHELLs are good for the fowls,
but they should be crushed very fine
before feeding them. Otherwise you
may introduce the egg-eating vice into
the poultry yard.
GEESE cost very little if allowed the
liberty of the fields, with access to a
pond or stream. To attempt to make
them profita BILE without these advan-
tages will result in failure
ONE great recommendation that the
larger breeds of fowls have over the
small ones is that the large ones have
to stay where they are put, while the
small ones go where they please.
DUCKS never have the cholera, roup
nor gapes; hawks will not touch them;
they lay more eggs that will hatch
better than hen eggs. With good feed
ing they can readily be made to weigh
five pounds in ten weeks after hatch

TESTING THE EGGS.

This Operation.

Too Much Attention Cannot he Paid to
This Operation.
This is very important process
Contrary to what some people expect,
all eggs will not hatch. The percent
age of a hatch is the number of chick
ems from the fertile eggs, not from the
number of eggs placed in the machine.
1t occurs frequently that eggs are fer
tile but the germ is SO weak that it
will seldom live after the tenth day.
Eggs should be tested on the fourth or
fifth day and again on the tenth day.
Leghorn, Minorca and Houdan eggs
can be tested satisfactorily 26 or 48
hours after placing them in the incu-
bator, but Brahma and other dark
shelled eggs cannot be satisfactorily
tested until the seventh day unless one
is an expert and very good egg-tester
is used. A strong germ, says writer,
will show a small black spot with red
veins radiating in all directions Added
eggs will show cloudy detached black
spots floating in the egg without any
veins attached. A red circular line
will be found in stale eggs. The latter
must be removed or foul Odors will be
the result. An unfertile egg is per-
fectly clear.and will be nearly as good
as fresh-laid eggs for cooking purposes.
On the tenth or twelfth day the chick
begins to move and the eggs become
more and more clouded. On the eight
zenith day the egg is entirely opaque,
except the small space called the air
cell. The latter varies in size accord
ing to the larger or smaller amount of
moisture used during incubation. By
setting eggs under a hen at the same
time as eggs are set in incubators and
comparing them every few days, an ex
cellent idea can be obtained of the
proper size of this air-cell.

RAISING CALVES.
1t Is What Every Wide-Awake Farmer
Should Do.

It Is w nat Every w IQe-AWake FaTmer
Should Do.
Farmers who sell or ship their milk
usually raise few calves, thinking it IS
cheaper to buy cows than it is to raise
them. But are we as apt to get as good
COWS? If a farmer sells COWS it is his
Whereas, if we raise our own cows we
raise the calves from our best cows,
and by using blooded bull we stand
fair chance of improving our daily
herd. AS to feeding calves, it is not
necessary to feed them much milk. We
have good success in feeding a por-
ridge made of cornmeal, ground buck
wheat, wheat bran and inseed meal,
mixed and proportional as follows:
Four quarts corn meal, -four quarts
wheat bran, two quarts ground buck
wheat, and about two handfulS of lin
seed meal. We begin using shout one
heaping tablespoonful for each mess;
make the porridge with water, add d
pinch of salt and one quart of sweet
milk. Increase the amount of grain as
the calf grows older. Care should be
taken not to get the calves too fat.
When raising calves for COWS they
should be fed just enough to keep
them growing and in good flesh, but
not too fat. Calves kept fat while
growing are not as apt to make as
good cows as those that are just
kept in a good growing condition.-N.

TRAPS For DRONES.
An Easy Way of Getting Rid of Useless
Honey Consumers.

An Easy Way of Getting Rid of Useless
Honey Consumers.
Almost any warm afternoon one may
see numerous large black bees buzzing
about the hives with noise equal to
more than twice their number of work
ers. These are the drones who toll not,
and are useful only to fertilize the
queen. AS this is necessary but once
in her lifetime, it is evident that by
far the greater part of drone's life is
spent in useless consumption of stores.
Nor is this all; as soon as honey be-
comes scarce in the field the attention
of many of the workers is taken up
with destroying these idlers, and the
working force depleted to that extent.
1t is no uncommon thing to see two or
more workers hauling out a drone,
and either executing him or driving
him into exile.
1t is important to save the bees as
much work as possible, and thus econo-
mize their time. That is just what
drone traps are for, and the one here
illustrated is regarded almost univer-
sally as the drone trap for all apiaries.
A close examination of the cut will ex-
plain the method of It's use, [ think,
appearing as the trap does to the OBJ
server, when in place across the hive
entrance. The back is open sufficient
~ to admit the bees readily, but the
front is closed with Il strip of perfor-
Cted zine, the perforations of which al

ALLEY TRAP.

freely, but not the larger drones. The
latter, trying to escape to the outer air,
crawl about in search of an exit, and
finally find it through the apex of the
wire cone shown in the center of the
trap. (The latest patterns contain
three cones.) This leads them into an
upper chamber or apartment entirely
inclOsed with perforated strips, and
from which there is no exit for them,
except through the one by which they
entered, a route they are very seldom
able to retrace. In this way in the
course of one or two warm afternoons
about all the drones in the hive may
be captured and destroyed at leisure.
Or, if one does not care to kill them,
an opening from the end of this cham
Der to the outer air, closed by a sliding
tin, may be left open and the drones
allowed to pass out this way. AS they
cannot return by this route, they are
effectually debarred from reentering
the hive If this method is adopted,
however, care should be taken that
they do not simply go into another
hive. If they are killed while Gagged
see that no workers are with them.
So much for this ''aHey trap" as it is
called, as drone excluder. As a
queen catcher it is also valuable The
queen is also larger than the workers,
hence unable to pass through the per-
forated zinc. To prevent the issuing
ard departure of a swarm during the
absence OF the apiarist, place the trap
before the entrance as for drones, talk
ing care to see that the entrance at the
end is closed. If swarm attempts to
issue the queen viii either be forced
back into the hive or caught in the
drone chamber, and held till the. re-
turn or convenience of the apiarist. Of
course the swarm is not likely to go
without her.
Formerly il was considered sufficient
to catch her, and prevent the departure
Of swarm to parts unknown. Now
new feature is being successfully intro
duced-a self-hiver The top of the
trap is perforated or removed for this,
and a box made with the ends fitting
tightly over the ends of the trap, the
back consisting of the front of the
awe, and the front a sloping board,
not too smooth, extending upwards;
all forming a second chamber above
the trap bee-tight, but with open top,
which should be exactly on level with
the top of the hive. On top of this,
place the hive into which you wish to
introduce the new swarm. The large
chamber of the self-hiver then will
open at the top directly into the empty
hive, and the swarm following their
queen up through the trap, will pres
emily find themselves in their new hive.
Ny placing trap across the entrance
to this to retain the queen, one can be
sure the swarm will stay here, and at
the same time allow the workers free
passage out of and into their new home.
BY this method one may leave the
apiary to look after itself for the day,
without fear of losing a swarm of bees,
and find them on his return at night
already hived and settled in their new
quarters. Gardening.

the slaves may retain their original

the handles having a gradual curve
starting from the inside. Bore a hole
in the wheel end of each handle and
drive large wire or wire nail through

Green Food for Poultry.

The feeding of green food to poultry
in summer demands some attention,
says the Farmers Home Journal, espe-
scially if the fowls are confined in the
yards. 1t is usually the custom to
chop green food to fine condition and
place it where the fowls can reach it.
Such practice is the best for the win
ter, but in summer it is a saving of la
Ibor to use a spade and take a large sod
to the fowls. They can thus pick at it
to advantage, and will be better salts
fed, not ceasing until they have eaten
tops, leaves, stems and roots, as we'll
as scratching the earth to pieces. Even
clover is given in this manner, and veg
eta bles need not be cut if they are ac-
.ceptable. One thing connected with
feeding green food is that the hens do
not bite the grass, but pull, conse-
.quently when they receive green food
they can supply themselves much more
seasily when the sod is given. A stock
eof clover would simply be pulled about
the yard and DE eaten with difficulty,
but If the earth is attached to the roots,
the fowls will easily manage it.
