AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

If seed is carefully selected it will
not run out. If it is not, it will.
THE corn crop is an important one,
not only for its grain but for its fodder.
TAKE the boy into some sort of part
nership with you, and allow him every
cent or share that the contract calls tor.
THE farmer who carefully saved his
SEED corn at husking last fall took the
first important step toward getting a
good crop in 1895.
THE boy that is made to work like a
slave for his board and lodging, will
likely be one OF those funny boys who
will want 10 leave the farm.
BECAUSE the father was compelled to
work himself almost to death when he
was young is ne sort of reason why his
child SHOULD be made to work himself
ne early to establishments Voice.

MOVING TIE POULTRY HOUSE.

The birds are quartered in it and
drawn to the field. where they are fed
once or twice in the house to accustom
them to it. Then they are supplied
with plenty of water and turned upon
the stubble, changing them about to
fresh forage as often as they seem to
require new ground, to find sufficient
of the fallen grain. If the house be
built of half-inch matched boards, it
will be found light enough to be moved
easily, and will prove quite a saving in
feed from year to year. During the
winter months. when other more i'm
portant work is not pressing, time may
be put to good advantage by construct
ing such a movable poultry house.

have some means OF reproducing their
like, that their race may o be-
come extinct. Nature and their in
stinct have taught them how. and the
time of season when all elements and
solar heat can assist them best. Per-
haps the wisest and most intelligent
OF insects is the honey bee. In mid
winter, when the mercury drops down
to fifteen and twenty below zero. they
are making preparations to multiply
their race in e wise and cunning way.
Before the solar heat can assist them
they begin. first by using only a small
space of comb, perhaps not larger in
diameter than d quarter dollar and not
containing more than fifty cells. and
then directly on the opposite side of
the comb the same amount of eggs are
deposited. If the cluster is large
enough the opposite comb is used in
the same way. Now, after the eggs
are Matched into grubs and the temper
ature of the hive will permit, the circle
will be enlarged and perhaps an adjoin-
ing comb used. This process is con
stantly repeated every twenty-one
days, every time charging the circle.

the days begin to warm up and the

They will not divide themselves into
colonies, be they ever so numerous. In
my grandfather's time the population
of the colony was a sure sign OF the
colony casting a swarm and many a
day, week and perhaps month was
faithfully watched for the cast, but all
in vain. But in these days all enter
prising b~ee-keepers can tell the very
condition of the colony and whether
they are preparing to swarm within
eight days or o by simply opening
the hive. An expert can tell by OBJ
serving the motion of the bees without
making an examination inside. An
expert can also force the colony
to cast a swarm at his COM
mand without dividing. \ colony

ton to east a swarm, must con-
sist of one good, prolific queen, from
sixty to eighty thousand workers and
a few hundred drOnes. Next. there
must be a continuous flow of nectar tc

daily gathering of honey and pollen of
from one to five pounds. To bring out
a natural prime swarm it must continue
for ten to twenty days. as this is essen
tial for the queen to develop to her full

Gus forms of unsoundness t o which a
horse is liable, and provides that an
animal found to he suffering from any
of these within nine days after its sale
may be returned to the seller. Such a

protect buyers; and it would also be

How to Make Poultry Pick Up a Living
on StubbIe Fields.
On stubble fields there is often a
good deal OF food which if the fowls
could be induced to forage sufficiently
would amount to a considerable guam
tity of feed. In some countries the
young. growing fowls are housed in d
small, lightly constructed building on
wheels, of a weight not too heavy for
a horse to draw. and of a size to ac-
commodate from 50 to 20 chickens.
