Experiments with Timothy.

Prof. Hopkins. of the West Virginia ex-
pertinent station, has been making test
with timothy, and finds that there are
marked varieties of this grass, some OF
them early, some Of them late, and
others showing great differences in size
and productiveness of seed. In paper
read before the society for the promo
ton of agricultural science at it's late
meeting at Springfield, Mass, he showed
that if pure seed of the early variety
could be secured it would be of specia
value TO grow with red clover, since it
would be at the proper stage for cut
ting when the clover would have the
highest value for hay. There is evil
IDENTIFY very much of practical value to
be learned from the study of.grassea
and grass seed.

SHIPPING POULTRY.

The Kind of Coops Needed to Insure Sat
isfactory Results.
Country shippers ought to pay more
attention to the condition of their coops
before using. Considerable stock is
lost by shipping in worn-out coops,
which come apart in transit if roughly
handled, as sometimes happens. Every
coop should be carefully examined, and
all bottoms and cleats securely nailed.
The coops should be strong, but light;
heavy wood is unnecessary if long nails
are used. They should not be SO large
as to render handling difficult.
The coops should be high enough to
allow the poultry to stand easily up
right, and should not be overcrowded.
Zoo close packing and too low coops
are cruel and cause loss by suffocation.
Hens and ROSTERS should be shipped
separately whenever possible. All
poultry for the New York market should
be well fattened, and should be fed
lightly before being placed in the coop,
If 1t reach its destination the day after
chipping, as the New York law requires
that the crop be entirely empty before
killing. From more distant points pro-
vision must be made for feeding and
watering in transit. At the beginning
Of their journey they should be fed
lightly, as overlooking at such time
makes the birds sick and dumpish and
unfit for the fatigues of travel. After
the first day or two, when the poultry
have become accustomed to their new
quarters, the supply of food should
be increased. All these things should
be considered and every care exercised
to have the birds arrive in the best pos
bible condition, SO that they may sell
readily at the highest prices. 1t is
bnly good stock that really pays. The
shipper who does not get the best
market price for his stock should con-
slider seriously where the fault really

Numerou. Uses Of Feathers

Many people neglect to save tn,
feathers of their poultry, thinking
them of but little value. Such persons
will be surprised at the following uses
to which they are put. The quilts from
the second and third joints of the wing
of the turkey are used for making
feather, busters. Large quilts of both
geese and turkeys are used for feather
bone. Dry chicken feathers are used
for cushions, and the feathers from
the large Pekin and Aylesbury ducks
are mixed with those of geese. Feath-
ers are also valuable as fertilizers and
will pay for the saving. Feathers for
market should be clean and free from
blood. Any of the commission mer-
chants will receive them on consigD-
merit.

SHUTS IN GRAINS.

How the Different Varieties Can BE Treat
ed Very Efrectually.
The Montana Experiment station
sends out the following conclusions on
smut in grains: Sinking smut attacks
wheat only. Loose smuts attack all of
the small grains, but that of the oat is
most damaging. Clean seed, or that
effectually treated for smut, will pro-
duce crop free from smut, but an adj
joining smutty field may contaminate
this grain for next years crop. The
only safeguard is careful treatment be-
fore planting. The disease in wheat
may be entirely prevented by thorough
ly wetting the seed in solution of cop
per sulphate, using eight ounces to
gallon of water, but this will lessen in
some degree the vitality Of the seed.
it may also be effectually prevented,
without any damage, by immersion for
Is minutes in water raised to tempera-
ture of 131 to 1875 degrees Fahrenheit.
Dat smut may be completely prevented
by treating the seed Is minutes in water
raised to a temperature of 1927 to 1875
degrees Fahrenheit. This treatment
not only removes the smut but pro-
notes the growth and increases the
yield. 1t may also be prevented with
out injury to the vitality by immersing
the feed "a hours in solution of potas-
SUM sulphide, made by dissolving /
pound of the sulphide in "a gallons of
water. The copper sulphate treatment,
used for wheat, will effectually kill the
smut in oats, but will in some degree
damage the terminating power of the

emy and warmth. An expensive poul-
try house is a great piece of folly, but
carefully built one is money in the
end. Whether poultry pays depends
largely on whether the fowls lay well
in the winter. To secure winter lay
ing, warm house is absolutely neces-
sary, together with good management
as to feeding, exercise, etc.
The accompanying diagram shows a
section through a winter poultry house,
where fowls will be comfortable on
the coolest days. A dry spot of ground
is chosen and foundation of rough
stone laid below it's level. A rough
stone wall is then laid for two and a
half or three feet above this and banked
to the top on the other side with earth.

His statement Is as follows: "About q

tom near the river, and had become very
much broken in health, suffering greatly
from distension or hardening of the lower
part Of the abdomen or bowels, besides be-
ing troubled with my kidneys and other
complications which rendered my case, as l
had supposed, almost hopeless. had been
In this condition, although, of course, not
as bad as was q year ago, for something
over six years, and had about given up all
hope Of ever being a well man again, when,
by the many testimonials and advertise
ments I had read with reference to the
wonderful cures perfected by DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People was in
duced to give them trial. After taking
two boxes began to feel greatly relieved,
and by the time had used up FIVE or six
boxes was completely cured and have
been, comparatively speaking, a well man
ever since. During all the time that was
suffering with this dreadful disease, which
am unable to name, passed many sleep
less nights and was in great distress almost
continually and was able to do but little
work. Now / sleep and eat well, and al
though / am sixty-one years of age, / am
able to do good days work on the farm,
having put in and tended eight acres Of
corn this season, besides doing large
amount of other work on the farm. In
short, think your medicine great bless
ing to humanity, and can cheerfully recon-
mend 1t TO all suffering as was. j had been
In this condition six or seven years and had
