In the breeding of poultry, as in all
other pursuits, a little care and fore
thought invariably return an apparently
disproportionate results. In the rearing OF
poultry, where the expenditure on each
fowl is small and the material provided
comparatively inexpensive, we are apt
to overlook the small wastes which occur
in the transformation of the different
kinds of grain into poultry, but which ag-
gregate quite sum.
The opinion that corn is a very nOur-
ishing food for fowls is so universal that
no further thought is given to the matter.
If any one should suggest that corn would
be easier of digestion if soaked or boiled,
he would likely receive the answer that
corn was not hard for birds to digest.
Birds swallow stones and other hard
substances without detriment. A mo-
ments thought, however, will convince
that the millstones and the grist are two
different things, and feeding hard grain,
although not exactly like feeding the
millstones with pebbles, bears certain
likeness to it.
The trouble attendant in the prepara-
ton of food, if it is to be cooked, may
advantage to be derived from such treat
ment, but in reality, little time need be
spent, as before going the rounds of the
nests, a little hot water may be poured
over the grain, a little cover put on the
kettle, and the whole placed over the
stove, when, by the time your rounds
are completed, the corn will have become
steamed and mellow and will have lost
none of its good qualities.

Cnttnn seed MenI.

Fruit growers generally keep only one
COW, and it is important to them to main
tain as free a flow of milk as possible.
There is nothing in the line of dry feed
which will make milk as copiously as
cotton seed meal and cassava. If to this
can be added daily little green rye or
crimson clover, cut and given in the man
ger, there need be little or no diminu-
ton in winter from the summer. flow of
milk. The Tennessee Experiment Station
says.
Cotton seed meal is the most valuable
of all the sO-called waste products used
as feed stuffs. II can be safely fed for
long periods, as much as five pounds per
day per 1000 pounds live weight in the
ration for COWS giving milk. AS the COW
approaches the time for calving the pro-
portion of cotton seed meal should not
exceed three pounds daily. We do not
think it advisable to feed more than five
pounds of cotton seed meal daily to mich
cows. For butter making it is not adj
Visable to exceed three pounds daily.
Many years of close observation else
where, as well as the results of recent
experiments, induced the writer to believe
that it is not safe to feed cotton seed
meal as the sole addition to the daily al
lowance of coarse folders particularly
during the three months preceding and
the month after calving.

nest nrced ID swine.

The following pointers, which may lead
readers to select the breed of swine best
suited to their environments, are cleaned
from a long letter written by John C. Ed
gar to the Home and Farm. He says:
To begin with white hogs, no matter
what the breed, are not suited to our eli
mate. All the standard breeds of black
skinned hogs have characteristics which
make them valuable in the SOUTH but none
of them has such a preponderance of good
qualities over others as to justify the Ii
tie best" The breeders of Berkshire, PO-
land China or Essex swine, however, sell
dom fail to claim that their pet breed is
the best. The three breeds l have named
are the best known and most valuable in
the south. If hogs have to rustic for a liv-
Berkshire is beyond a doubt the best. He
is a rustler and will thrive and grow fat
where either of the others would perish.
To my taste the Berkshire gives the sweet
est and best meat, and, if l only wanted
hogs for family use and had playground
enough for their exercise, that is the breed
! would choose.
But as I raise hogs for market and have
a limited amount of pasture available Tor
them, have to depend upon what ! grow
and want a lazy, ccntented hog, that will
not fret under confinement but will quick
" rest after meals and allow the digestive
apparatus to convert food into flesh. The
Essex breed are of that character. They
are of quiet disposition. and produce a
very fine quality of pork. They fatten
quicker than any other breed, and if they
have fault it is that they yield fat out

soils the plants are liable to rot when set

Dry Food for Chicks.-Dry food is the
pest for chicks Many are killed by hav-
lnS too much wet food. They require very
little water, but when the food is damp
they are compelled to swallow more water
than is beneficial. A leading poultryman
mas claimed that he could raise more
chicks by Withholding water altogether
than by giving fun supply, but we have
no doubt the loss was occasioned more by
the water being given in vessels that per-
mitted the chicks to get wet rather than
from the quantity consumed. The best re-
suits, however, have been obtained from
dry food. Cracked corn, wheat, ground
oats, and even the dry ground meat has
been tested with success. Such food may
be placed in a small trough, from which
the chicks may help themselves, and IL
has the advantage of being less liable to
ferment and spoil than when wet. The
better way of feeding. however, is to feed
at regular intervals, In order to afford a
greater variety and avoid waste.-Poul-

New England writer calls attention
to the fact that the value Of mulch is only
partially appreciated. and there is wide
field for development in using mulches Of
all kinds. We obtain our ideas of mulches
from the prairies and forests. where ma
ture forms her own mulch. The decaying
leaves and stems soon form a mass on
the surface which prevents the soil from
losing much of its moisture. This leaf
mold and accumulation OF vegetable mat
ter acts as a protecting covering for the
soil, and it will be found around the
trees in every forest and around the roots
of wild grasses on every meadow
In initiating nature, as she works in the
| field and forest, we adopted the artiti-
| eial mulch around our fruit trees, and
found that II worked to their advantage.
A mulch besides retaining the moisture
in the soil, also secures q more uniform
temperature and adds considerable plant
food to it. The nature of the mulch IS
an important part of the work Flat
stones may be used around trees, form
ing a permanent mulch, but their action
IS merely mechanical 1t retains the
moisture and temperature of the SOIL but
1t adds nothing to IT. SaWdust is but lit
tie better, but straw and new mown lawn
grass form rich mulches that add plant
food to the soil
The exact change which takes place in
the soil when covering is placed over
the surface is not generally understood.

Of the gardens of France the benefit de-
rived from shading portion Of the soil
IS understood and carried out success
fully. Tiles cover the strawberry beds,
with holes made through them here and
there for the vines TO grow out Of. Flow
er gardens are likewise covered with tiles
or cement leaving no part of the soil eX-
posed where the plants come through.
Expert horticulturists there find this
method of great advantage. In a less
expensive way parchment paper can be
used for covering the garden soil. Brown
paper dipped in sulphuric acid should be
used for this purpose, and il is then made
tough and waterproof. In times of
drought this mulch acts splendidy. 1t
retains the water, accelerates the growth
of the plants and keeps down the weeds.
More experiments with muches will, in
time, make gardening much easier and
more profitable The parchment paper
mulch, however, for small places is the
simplest, cheapest and most efiectual
that has yet been experimental with.

some Poor Advice.

1t is poor comfort and almost the hight
of folly to advise a poor hard working
farmer Chat finds himself right jam up
against the wall, not knowing where he
will get the supplies for man and beast
the coming year, to plant nut trees or
any other kind of trees that would re-
quire at least five years to produce any
thing. We see such advice being given,
and it makes US sad for several rea-
sons. What the farmer wants to know
just now is how to allot his crops for
1896 so that he can make a living and
have a little money over to help him
along the next year. Let US discuss this
matter practically and see if we cannot
help one another at least a little bit.

Autumn weather, 1so5--Brief sug-


Autumn Weather, 1S95-Brief Sugges-
tions-The morning of November the
1stb witnessed the first cold wave of the
season. The temperature fell to 80 de-
crees at Muledgeville, affording frost Sc
we're enough to kill the tender plants Of
the garden-tomato vines, eggplant and
the like. Slight frosts had occurred pre-
yiousIy. on oct q and ., but were not
severe enough to kill tender vegetation.
For warmth and dryness the present au-
tumn. perhaps, has no equal in very many
years, with the single exception of that
of 1854 So far as dryness is concerned, the
fall of the latter mentioned year is mere
noted than the present. In that year
there was not a drop OF rain during the
month of September, two slight showers
"a third of an inch each), during october,
and in November no rain up to Nov. y.
The drought was partially broken by a
half inch of rain on the 23d. Then tol-
lowed a wet season. The total rainfall
for the eighty-three days following Sept.
J. was SO inches. AS to temperature,
however, that autumn did not equal the
present one for mildness.
The following is a detailed statement of
rainfall from Aug. p TO Nov IA, 1895:
Oct H. IS; oct 81 81; Nov. s, So. This
gives a total rainfall for the eighty-tour
days following Aug. p, of 20 inches:
These several rains, coming as showers
upon a parched and thirsty soil, did not
wet the soil to any depth, and the effect
was that the grass of all upland pastures
gradually died out for the lack of mOis-
ture. The surface soil was so dry that
even the day after the fail of two-thirds
of an inch Of rain Nov. s., the spade
turned up dry soil, either in poor or rich
garden plats. For seventy days prior to
that rain the same condition of dry soii
was noted six to eight inches under the
surface. As already remarked, the first
killing frost occurred on the morning of
the 18th.
There is no denying that the drought has
entailed a severe loss upon the farmers.
Ii needs be that every energy should be
put forth to get the very earliest forage
crop possible, just as soon as the severe

merely those two or shree that supply.
home needs, will, in the majority of in
stances, suffer for something green long
before il can be supplied them. Fortunate
is the farmer or dairyman who has a
good supply of pumpkins or artchokes,
or both. to fall back upon.
Throughout this section there Will be
few, or no, rutabagas or other turnips,
and we doubt if there are many farmers
who have a surplus of sweet potatoes
that might be used for the mich cows.
The next best thing TO do is to get some
good land in a state of preparation, ma
nuring it as thoroughly as possible, and
just as soon as the January freezes are
over, sow a mixture of oats and rye, add
ing some Bur or Crimson clover.
Harrow the mixture in a soil that has been
well plOughed. then roll AS soon after
this as it can be safely done, put in half
acre or more of drilled corn to each head
of stock that is kept on the farm.
