Poultry Notes.

Strong, stimulating food has tenden-
cy to disorganize the stomach and pro-
duce indigestion.
Better results can be obtained by Civ
ing a warm feed in the morning and
warm water to drink.
Gather the eggs in winter as soon as
possible after they are laid to prevent
them from getting frozen.
Milk in any form is both meat and
drink for laying hens, as it contains
constituents of the white or albumen of
Eggs.
Poor land is well adapted to the poul
try business.
A little linseed (oilcake) meal-say
q tablespoonful to each adult bird three
times week-will help to add gloss to
the plumage.
Irregular feeding is thought to he the
cause of many disorders among fowls.
Poultry raising is ON the increase as
farmers get better acquainted with the
industry.
A western poultryman says that there
is nothing that will bring eggs like
steamed cut hay and granulated fresh
bone.

The practice of growing potatoes in
drills is increasing. This is due largely,
we think, TO the greater uncertainty of
seed potatoes making vigorous growth
where each set is planted. If there are
rows wide enough to cultivate each way,
vacancy which has to be cultivated and
kept clean all the season for nothing. If
the set which failed is in a drill, the
loss is nothing, for the next plants each
side will spread and cover most of the
vacant space. But this we think proves
too much if intended as an argument for
close seeding. If potato plants IL TO 10
inches apart will spread so as to cover
twice those distances, the average of the
field must be badly crowded. This we
think is the fact with most drill plant
ing.
If we had rich ground to plant and
none other is profitable for potato grow
ing, we should make rows 2 feet o inches
one way and 3 feet the other. While the
plants are small it will be easy to cul-
tivate either way. The potato sets should
be planted deeply enough so that the
whole surface may be narrowed without
disturbing them. The drill mark is usu-
ally furrowed deeper than it is when the
rows run both ways. 1t is better, though,
for drill planting to furrow deeply one
way at least. American Cultivator

LETTUCE FOR MARKET.
Packing lettuce For shipping to Distant
Markets Delivery to Home Markets.

Packing lettuce For shipping to Distant
Markets delivery to Home Markets.
A prominent grower of lettuce for
market has the following to say concern
ing its packing and shipment in Ameri.
can Gardening From our personal OH
servation, and so far as we are able 90
learn from correspondence, we are of the
opinion that the methods used in pack
ing lettuce Cor shipping purposes are
about the same in the different parts Of
the country
If to be sent any distance, barrels are
most commonly used as package Dur
ing warm weather it becomes necessary
to ventilate them, by means of holes
cut or bored III the slaves, but in the
winter season, on the other hand, the
barrels must be so prepared that frost
will not be likely to enter TO effect this
they are lined with newspapers or other
paper, and if properly handled by the
transportation companies there is sci
dom any loss.
The methods of packing properly noe
essarily differ with the kind of lettuce
grown, whether upright growing sorts
like the Grand Rapids, or flattened, cab
hage kinds, of the Tennisball habit
Grand Rapids growers, for the most part,
pack in tiers, with the leaves placed
horizontally From two to four heads
are taken up at one time i'll the hand
and placed in the barrel, and others are
then put III so as to form rows running
around it Some shippers think it best
to arrange it so that the stems will be
covered by the leaves of the next bunch
es while others place the butts upon the
heads previously put i'll. If necessary,
one or more heads are added to form a
solid tier Although it does not look us
well when opened, the general opinion
seems to be that the lettuce ships fully as
well and can be taken out much better
if the butts are placed upon and over
tapping the heads, thus affording han
die by which they can be taken out
Layer after layer Is put III in this way,
until the barrel Is full Papers are then
placed over the top of the barrel, and "a
cover of burlap is put on and held in
place by means of a hoop
For the cabbage sorts the barrel is
prepared in the same way and the let
tuce Is packed in tiers, with the butts
up 1t can be seen that these varietie,
with flattened heads cannot well he
packed IN any other way. With this eX-
cepron. there is little, if any, difference
III the methods of packing.
When the market is sufficiently neal
TO admit of the delivery of the lettuce t.
the dealers by the grower, each consults
his own convenience Perhaps the most
common packages are boxes about 3 10y
by / foot III depth These are so made
that they Will nest one above the othel
and fit closely in the wagon. Some
growers prefer to use baskets for thi,
purpose, however, and the flat so calico
market baskets answer well, although
many use ordinary bushel baskets fol
well grown Grand Rapids and other tai
kinds

A Fowls Stomach.

Fowls swallow their food, broken or
not, and it enters the crop or first stom-
ach and remains i'll it until it has be-
come softened, more or less When a
small quantity at time, just as grain
runs into grist mill, it is forced into the
gizzard among the grit. The gizzard is
a strong, muscular stomach, and it is
at work night and day, when there is c
grist to grind, similar to bellows, con-
tracing and expanding, and thus fore.
ing the grit into the grain and triturat-
ing the whole mass, after which it is
in suitable condition to be quickly di-

Hedges and Hedge Plants.

A post and rail fence well made will
last for quarter of a century without
any labor being applied Where there
are fences that require annual painting,
whitewashing, mending Of pales or
lacking on boards, live fences are cheap
er and bette, according to as good au-
thority as Thomas Meehan, Philadel-
phia, who says in American Gardening:
Any strong growing bushy shrub makes
good hedge plant The barberry, privet,
buckthorn, the Japan naples, Japan
SNOWFALL, Siberian honeysuckles, silver
thorns and other varieties of eleagnus,
beech, even the oak, will all make good
hedge plants. The best and cheapest
plants for miles of live hedges are the
Usage orange and the honey locust, rs
the plants can be purchased more cheap
ly than any other hedge plant, and with
fhe annual trimming to a conical form
can be kept at one height for all time.

WRITER SUGGESTIONS.
How "a Keep Hens Healthy and Laying
Eggs.

Eggs.
First of all, the fact of regularity I'm
feeding must be established. Itnot only
means better health and larger profits,
but also reduced cost; hence it is to be
placed at the head as of great conse-
quence. Begin by feeding at regular
hours, and let the practice extend over
all the stock.
Feed the morning meal at daylight.
The hens fed at to in the afternoon
and going to roost Immediately will be
hungry by the next morning and ready
for breakfast If this be delayed, the
system will suffer and the forces which
would go to the building of eggs be di.
verified to supply heat to the system.
Let the morning meal be of cooked food,
something easily digested, and this
should be fed warm to raise at once the
temperature OF the body, the quantity
being only enough to supply the de
mands, satisfy the hungry cry and send
the hens to their work singing all tho
while. An abundant breakfast means
dull stupid flock for half a day at
least Activity is the secret of good
health and the underlying principle of
egg production. To insure this the
morning ration should be of cooked
food, fed warm, moderately dry and not
enough to satisfy the hens. Let the
noon ration, if any be fed, be entirely
of vegetables, a few chopped onions or
cabbage hung in the pens just high
enough to oblige the hens to jump to
peck it. About 3 p III. feed the whole
grain, oats, wheat and i'll the very cold
est weather little corn. At present
prices feed wheat, but be sparing of the
| quantity. One quart for | 3 to II hens
is sufficient, and this should be so scat
tered and buried that only kernel at a
time will be found. Clean pens, fresh
water pure air and system Of feeding
such as is here outlined will bring mon
ey to the owner every month of the
winter.
