POULTRY NOTES.

Do not let up the fight on lice and
uncleanness.
Get rid of the surplus cockerels as
soon as possible.
A dry floor, dry roof, but plenty
of fresh water daily, is the way to
keep dampness out of the hen house.
There are focks of fowls that need
green stuff given them just as much
this month as in December. Is yours
one of them?
A daily allowance of fresh cut bone
and bit of oil meal will help the
fowls through the moulting season in
good shape.
1t is pleasure to see thrifty flock
of fowls enjoy themselves scratching
for something to eat from q lot of
straw OF other litter.
Clean out the nest boxes once in
while, even though they have not been
used for incabating. When clean give
q dressing of kerosene oil, then fresh
lot OF hay or straw.
Fresh air is good for young chicks,
but getting drenched in n leaky house,
IN tree top or upon fence is not
the best way to produce hardy fowls
from this years chicks.
Get the pullets into the houses or
yards in which they are to make their
homes this winter. The sooner they
are sat home" the sooner they will
begin their winter laying.
Fresh earth is an excellent deodor-
lzer when spread under the roosts.
Some hen houses would be better for
their inmates if some earth was used
IN them. Perhaps you own one such.

MADRIGAL

Sweetheart, the day is done,
And in the amber west
The shallop moon her port has won,
By twilight breezes pressed;
And faint through the sky rings a tender
cry,
Sweetheart, in the fading light,
While the night winds sigh as they linger
by.
Sweetheart, good night!
Sweetheart, It's nights high noon,
And through the blue sky's are
The stars drift down to the harb9red moon
In the western portal dark;
And low in your ear l whisper near,
Sweetheart, do you hear Alright?
As with answering sigh you make reply,
Sweetheart, good night!
Sweetheart, the short night goes,
The daylight comes apace,
And high in the east the morning blows,
flower like your face.
The lark's cry rings and the linnct sings,
Sweetheart, as the sky grows bright,
AS faint and far fades the last pale star,
Sweetheart, good night

FEEDING ENSILAGE.

On the subject of ensilage there
have been some interesting statistics
taken lately. Professor Wall, of the
Wisconsin Agricultural College, wrote
to one hundred OF the most successful
dairymen in the country to lealn what
rations they fed. OF the one hundred
answers received sixty-four fed ensil.
age. In Wisconsin fifteen of these
successful dairymen answered and
twelve OF them fed ensilage. In Can
ada every one ot them fed it. The
lowest rations of silo feeders came
from the Southern States, where, OF
course, there is not the imperative
necessity for winter feed that there is
at the North.
But this should not be question of
necessity, but one simply of profit.
Does it pay to feed ensilage, and if SC
why don't you do it? That is the ques-
tion. Cows need winter housing at
the South as we'll as at the North, in
order to make them comfortable, and
that means to make them give larger
flows OF milk. 1t goes without saying
and has been abundantly proven that
the corn crop is the cheapest and best
COW food that can be grown anywhere,
and especially in this country, and
any method or practice that gets
cheaper and greater feeding power
out of the corn crop should be the
sheet anchor of the dairyman. He
should use every effort to secure this

FEEDING STOCK AT PASTURE,

When the pastures begin to fail in
autumn, the thrifty condition of the
stock will likewise fail until they are
given additional rations. For this
purpose green corn fodder is excellent,
us it is reaching its fullest develop
ment while the pasture is decreasing.
The green cornstalks may be fed in
the barnyard or hauled to the pasture
Any good soiling crop, as millet,
vetches, Hungarian grass, sorghum,
cowpeas, or late oats with peas, will
answer the same purpose. When none
OF these are obtainable, the drying
pasture should be supplemented by
small feeds of grain, such as a mix
ture Of chopped corn, oats and rye, or
chopped corn with wheat bran and
middlings, fed in troughs, and better
if either slightly moistened or freshly
soaked. On dry grass, it is very nee
essary that stock should have an am
pie and continuous supply of pure
drinking water, as more is required
for the digestion of the drier food
material. Stock will CLEAN much food
by run in the stubble fields after
harvest, not only of scattered grain,
but of nutritious weeds. Winter rye,
if sown early, makes excellent fall
pasture, and the early winter wheat
fields will be benefited by having all
the growth which the frost would kill,
grazed off while the ground is not
muddy. Such roots as turnips, man
giles and sugar beets also supply the
succulent food needed to supplement
failing or drouth-stricken pastures. -

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way TO cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have n rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it Is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the infam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

sTUBBLE AS MANUEG,

No kind of grain stubble is worth
anything as manure. 1t may have
some value on very wet land in keep
ing it moro open to the air when
turned under tho furrow. But for
any fall-sown crop this is disadvan-
tage, as for the soil to be open and
porous during winter is for it to be-
come fuller of water than it would be
without it. The ashes from burned
stubble contain all that is really Of
manurial value, and it is not bad
policy to burn stubble before plowing

A. NEW LEASE OF LIFE,
IN GOOD HEALTH AT SEVENTY
THREE YEARS OF AGE,
Miss CORVALLIS Wonderful Recovery of
Health---Became Well in Two
Months After an Illness of
Six Years

From the Register, Nelo Houen, Conn.
In this rapid age Of ours when so many
men and women are old at fifty, one who
has lived three-quarters OF u century, and
then, after debility and suffering, regains
health and vigor, must be regarded with
feeling akin to wonder. A New England
lady has been found who has had this re-
markable experience,
In the family Of Clarence Williams, a Che
shire farmer on the Meriden road Cheshire,
Ct, lives Miss Cornelia Cornwall, lady
seventy-three years of age. For several
years Miss Cornwalls health has been de-
clining very rapidly, caused by general de-
bility. Her friends feared that the respected
lady had not long to live: but a kind Provi-
dence directed the aged lady, and in a news
paper advertisement Miss Cornwall read
about DR.. Williams Pink Pllls-a few boxes
of which she procured at once, and with the
result that is best told in her own words.
About six years ago" Miss Cornwall be-
gan, my health commenced to fail. sui

Immediately to the headquarters in Schenec-

Last December I commenced using tho
pills regularly, and a month after 1 had been
taking them, felt greatly benefited by their
use. The feeling in my limbs came back
again, and in two months l was able to go

face was removed by the pills. A number of

BUDDING FRUIT TREES.

Having everything in readiness, the
process of budding may be described
under six heads.
~ At smooth place in the stock
preferably two or three inches above
the ground--an upright incision, an
inch or over in length, is made clear
through the bark. (2) Across the
upper end of this incision short,
horizontal one is made. Tho usual
way for the latter is at right angles,
but it will be found better to make it
obliquely, in which case the tying ma
teriaI cannot get into the upper in.
cision, but must cross it, as is best.
(3) The bark is then raised by press
ing tho thin piece of ivory Tor the
rounded point of the knife) against
the cut edges with kind of lifting
movement, beginning at the upper
end OF the incision and proceeding to
the lower end, one side Mt time. In
this operation special care is required
to avoid touching the layer OF soft,
new wool Immediately under the
bark. To touch this soft, new wood
checks tho growing process, which
fastens the bud to the stock, aud this
check renders success very uncertain.
~ A bnd is now cut from the pre-
pared scion, the knife entering about
half an inch below the tootstalk and
coming out three quarters of an inch
or more above it, taking as thin q
slice of the wood with it as may be-
The practice OF some is to remove this
this thin piece OF wood, but If not
done with the greatest care the bud
will be spoiled, while success is not
endangered IN The least by allowing
the wood to remain. (5) The bud is
now taken by the pieco of footstalk
left for the purpose, placed under the
bark at the upper end of the incision
and pushed gently down to the lower
end. Ii part of the upper portion Of
the bud projects above the cross incis-
ion, it is to be cut off, making q neat
fit. 10y Tying is the next thing in
order. This to hold the bud in posi-
ton, and to exclude air and moisture.
1t should be done at once, beginning
at the lower end of the incision, and
covering every part of it, but leaving
out tue footstalk and the point of tho
bud. The work is now complete.
If the stock is growing rapidly the
tying may cut into the wood before
the bud alheres properly. Should
this occur the tie is to be removed
and Immediately replaced, but not so
tight. In three weeks from the inser-
tion of the bud the tying may be re-
moved permanently.
Ten days or SO after budding, it
may be known that the operation is
successful by the piece of footstalk
dropping off on being touched. If in
stead of this it has dried and sticks
fast, the work has failed. But if the
bark still peels freely, the budding
may be repeated, selecting new place
on the stoek.
Most 0i the hardy roses can be
budded on each other. The wild run
ming rose-the Michigan rose-makes
pretty stock, but the best for the
purpose is the Manetti rose, vigor-
GUS growing kind brought from Como,
Italy, half century or moro ago,
which multiplies readily by cuttings.
In advance of the budding, the spines
should be rubbed off the inch or two
where the bed is to be inserted. The
