OATS are one of the very best feeds
for moulting hens.
THE Pekin ducks develop early and
are good market fowls.
GEESE thrive on plenty of good pas
turage and plenty of water.
TRAIN the young poultry to roost in
the poultry house from the start.
IT does not pay to be economical by
starving the young growing fowls.
To BE certain of having fresh eggs
now, care must be taken to gather them
daily,
A POUND of copperas dissolved in two
gallons of water makes good disin-
fectant.
MIXING scotch snuff or insect powder
in. the dust bath will help to rid the
fowls of lice.
IF ducklings are exposed to wet
weather they are apt to take cramps in
their legs.
IT is well to remember that as the
chickens grow and increase in size they
will need room.
The laying of unusually large eggs
denotes that the hens are in an over
fat condition.
Donor keep too many fowls together.
Small hillocks well cared for will give
the best results.
If you have number of good old
hens, do not change them for pullets.
Keep some of the old hens.
THE roosts should be low, espe cially
for large, heavy fowls, and should all
be of the same height. Louis Re-

''There's a justice of the peace in

when the wheelman comes along,

laid down to govern position of reel for
varying kinds and conditions of grain.
This can be ascertained only by exper-
imenting until best results are secured.
The reel should not run parallel
with sickle, but the outer end
should stand several inches for
ward in order to place grain upon
platform with butts in advance of
heads, as the butts are always retard-
ed by coming in contact with the fall
ing grain. In standing grain, the ma
chine should run about level. 1t takes
but moment when starting up a
grade to tilt the machine forward, and
vice versa. 1t should be so we'll bal
anced that the tongue will play on the
neck yoke much of the time. Ofcourse
this cannot always be done, particu-
larly with the old five-horse steplad-
der machines, but these are back num-
bers now, and the new, low, sensible
ones do not have so much swing in
mid-air. 1t is cheaper and more hui
name to carry the machine on its
wheels than on the horses necks. 1t
should, therefore, be tilted back when
the driver leaves his seat; if it stands
long the binder may be shifted back
also. -George f. Petit. in Orange Judd

Lemons in Southern Italy.

The damp, soft air Of Sorrento is per-

and .there mingled with the lemons.
just as lemon trees will be seen in the
midst of the orange-groves of Sorrento,
though in neither case they are the
chief produce of the place. Massa-Lu-
brense is largely indebted for its salu-
tons Three years must pass
before newly-planted lemon
tree begins to bear fruit; and
in order to bring it to perfection, it
must be freely watered. A hollow is
dug around the base of the tree to re-
ceive the water as in a basin, SO that it
may slowly penetrate to the roots.
Poles are planted at intervals in the
ground, somewhat higher than the
trees, and smaller poles or canes are
placed crossways above them, which
are covered with mating when the
winter approaches. 1t is not removed
till the spring is well advanced, for
lemon trees must be most carefully
sheltered from wind or frost The
fruit is gathered chiefly during the
summer months, especially in May,
July and September, though there are
lemons on the trees all the year round.

The bee supply business has in.
creased with great rapidity in the past
ten years. And the large manufacture
ing establishments have been great
help to the beekeeping world. Lum-
Der is brought in carload lots direct
from the sawmill, and after being sea-
soned is made up into hives. Every
hive is perfect in shape and size, by
being sawed and cut by gauges Prob
ably many think they get poor hives,
which is very true, so many people
want bee hives cheap. In buying cheap
bee hives money is wasted. Buy of
responsible factory and be willing to
pay for good article. Some factories
charge more for the same article than
Others. Investigate the prices and
quality of the goods and buy the best.
Before placing the hive see that it is
clean and contains three or four sheets
of broad foundation. Place the empty
hive On q summer stand, where it is to
set when the bees are in it. Be sure
the hives are painted, preferably
with white. Have the rear end the
highest, so no rain will run in the hive
Let the hives front to the east when
possible. Place them where the morn
ing sun will shine on them, but the aft
ernoon and monday heat be shaded off.
Do not have too big a front door for
weak swarms. Swarms are often
caught by fastening an empty hive in
tree, the hive attracting their atten-
ton the same as hole in hollow
limb. We do not recommend this,
however, as it seems too much like
coaxing neighbors'. bees away from
home in order to steal them.-James

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
RUNNING A HARVESTER.
It Calls for Considerable Ingenuity ON the
Part of the Operator.


Part of the Operator.
OF the various machines and nipple
ments used on the farm, there is none
so delicate and complicated, or requir-
ing the exercise of more skill and in
genuity on the part of the operator,
than the self-binding harvester. The
standard machinesof to-day have come
through and are the result of such
long and thorough course of devel-
opment and Improvement, and manu-
facturers have followed so closely the
same general lines of construction,
that one can hardly make mistake in
the selection of a machine so long as
he is satisfied to stick to the standards.
But the man who allows himself to be-
come too enthusiastic over something
new and novel;" and invest in ma
chinery which embodies radical
changes in principles of construction,
may expect to soon have an out-of-date
machine on his hands. While principles
may be correct, a course of develop

Jim Blanchard is veteran prospec-
tor, who tells some queer stories of his
experience in the west, and when in a
talkative mood is always in demand.
While sitting at the hotel the other
evening he was the center of an in
terested crowd. One of the charac-
teristics peculiar to travellers, in the
mountains especially, being unques-
toned veracity, no one would think of
casting reflections upon the truthful
ness of Jim's statements.
He was telling of trip from Deming,
N. M, to Guimas, on the Gulf of Lower
California. He was accompanied by
James Hanigan, Californian. Every.
thing went well until they got about
two hundred and seventy-fve miles
south of Deming Here they halted at
a spring. Blanchard tethered the
horses, while Hanigan prepared the
meal. AS they expected to make dry
camp that night, Hanigan suggested
that the water casl1 be refilled. To do
SO, Blanchard thought the handiest
way would be to get the burro close to
the spring and fill the cask without re-
moving it from the burro's back. The
burro demurred and threw Blanchard
into the stream. In falling he tore his
trousers from the hip to the knee.
Having neither needle nor thread, he
took the bark of a willow sprout and
sewed up the rent.
Now, the Mexican willow has PEI
culiar nature, and in the wet season a
young sprout has been known to de-
velop into good sized tree over night.
On awalxing the next morning Blanch-
ard found willow tree growing from
his leg The bark which he had
stripped from the sapling had taken
root and sprouted.
There was a stifled gasp heard
among the auditors which seemed to
disturb the speakers serenity for a
moment. He looked inquiringly for
the cause, but not word was spoken.
Its fact, gentlemen" he con-
cluded, that there tree got so BANKED
cumbersome in two days that Hanigan
was obliged to chop it down to re-
lieve men. Y. Recorder.

POULTRY ON FARMS.
1t Yields More Satisfactory Profits Than
Any Other Stock.


Any Other Stock.
The farmer has plenty of room on
his farm for poultry, and the land so
devoted will return as large, if not
larger profits than an equal area
planted to crop or used for other
stock. Cheap houses can be built to
shelter hundred or more fowls, which
will bring in the cash in the winter
season by producing eggs, thus large
ly aiding him to purchase many neces-
saries while waiting for his crops to
grow. There is but little risk of loss
in keeping hens if they receive only a
part of the attention bestowed on
animals, and a very large percentage
upon the cost is the certain return that
may be realized by a farmer, on a
small scale, where the business is con-
Quoted properly. There is more profit
in raising choice poultry and making
speciality of eggs, considering the
cost and outlay, and which can be had
annually, than from any other sources,
not excepting COWS, pigs or sheep, and
yet the animals are fed and cared for
at an expenditure for labor that would
be considered appalling if bestowed
on the hens, though the hens pay cash
dividends daily for all they receive.
Farmers would do well to look into this
matter, and now is the time to consider
it. Good fowls of any of the improved
breeds may now be had at very rea-
sonable price, and we call the atten-
ton of those who have the facilities
for keeping fowls OF taking advantage
of their opportunities Farmer.
