The Cause OF small Eggs.

The steady improvement in the
grade Of poultry kept by farmers
has resulted in the increased size of
the eggs. This difference is so mark
ed that the eggs produced in the
North always command in the
markets higher price than those
from the South, where the improved
breeds have been more slowly in
troduced. In that section the I'M.
dersize of poultry and eggs is doubt
less due chiefly to the lack of new
blood. The facilitating effect of
the heat is sometimes given as the
explanation, but the true one is
rather the lack of care and proper.
breeding, the indirect result of the.
climate, which, by permitting the
birds to forage all the year round,
relieves the owner of much trouble,
but at the same time checks his
interest in their best development.

Early and Late Potatoes.

One advantage of early planting
of potatoes is that the potato sets
used for planting are then at their
best. Late in the season the eyes
have been weakened by sprouting,
each sprout taken off representing a
large share of the vigor of the plant.
But the early. planted potatoes re-
quire much more labor to keep them
free from bugs, The old hard shell
bugs begin to lay their eggs when
the potato is just out OF the ground,
and the first warm weather that
comes the leaves will be eaten down
while the plant is yet small. Late
planted potatoes grow up more rap
idly and can be kept free from bugs
much more easily. mnv

PRODUCTION Of breed of rapidwalk-
ing horses. The horse that walks
fast is useful in all departments Of
the farm, and is also excellent for
service on the road.
Sow peas and oats together, and
when high enough the crop may be
used for soiling A combination Of
the two provides succulent mess

relished by them.
The Pennsylvania station finds
that currants do well on their heavy
clay soil and are little troubled with
mildew. A single application Of
white hellebore afforded protection
from the currant worm.
Whitewashing can be done easily
and rapidly with the sprayer. Use
thin whitewash and force it from
the nozzle on to the walls. When
dry repeat the application. 1t is
excellent for purifying the stables
and poultry houses.
The great secret in fancy butter
making, says a dairy writer, is a
studied purpose to keep all foreign
substances and fiavors out of the
milk, cream and butter, and have
only original material from start to
finish, and fancy butter results.
Subsoil some of the corn or pota-
to land and record results of the ex-
pertinent. Plow say 6 or 8 inches
deep, and follow with subsoil pillow,
or smaller pillow, and go 6or s inch
es deeper without throwing out sub
soil The experiment is worth try
ing.
1t is difficult to distribute pound
of turnip seed evenly over an acre
of ground, and small roots will re-
suit if more is used. If the pound is
mixed thoroughly with a peck of
sand, quantity is obtained which
can be handled and distributed
with a considerable degree of exact
ness,

1t used to be thought that only
on sandy soil could good early gar
dens be made. 1t is true that the
sandy soil is easily permeable to the
air and is soon warmed, and it is
also we'll drained. But it has too
little vegetable matter, and the sand
dries out in hot weather, so that
however promising the vegetables
may be in early Spring they prove
a failure. Well-drained, heavy land,
thoroughly cultivated to a fine filth,
is best for most garden crops.
There are a few, however, that do
best on sand, but it requires heavy
and frequent manuring to make
such land produce its best results.

Testinga Cow.

The best test of COW is to weigh
the milk and butter she produces.
If a cow is well-bred she will give a
good account of herselfon the scales,
but no matter what her breeding
may be, if she gives a satisfactory
yield, keep her. 1t is much easier
to hold on to good COW than to
take the risk of getting one in her
place when she becomes dry. Every
cow should be tested, and scales
should be conveniently placed where
the milk can be weighed as soon as
it is drawn from the COW.

A Growing PIG.

A pig at its birth should weigh
about 3 pounds. At the end of the
first month the weight should have
increased to Is, and it should con-
tinue to grow until at the tenth
month it has attained weight Of
300 pounds. That is, if it, is kept
SO long, but the most profitable hog
is the one marketed when Z or s
months old. The cost of pork is so
per cent greater if made in the tenth
month than in the fifth month in
the food consumed. Quick returns
and quick profits should be the aim

FARM Notes.
Among the Poultry

Keep drinking vessels in the
shade and clean them every day.
Short legged fowls fatten quickly.
Long-legged ones are hard to fatten.
A handsome appearance is worth
one or two cents pound in selling
poultry.
The first eggs that hen lays In
Spring are considered the best for
Matching.
If the hens or pullets are thin
with pale combs, examine them
carefully for lice.
When the fowls have a good
range at this time care must be
taken not to overfeed them.
From this on it will be best to set
hens on the ground when possible
as the eggs will hatch better.
Care must be taken now to keep
all feeding troughs and drinking
vessels clean and wholesome.
Feed hens only as much as they
will eat up clean at certain hours,
otherwise they will get too fat.
If a pullet is Matched and does
not get good start she will remain
useless until nearly year old.
Fowls should not be killed when
they have full crops, or the flesh
will turn blue and dark around the
crop.
After hen has produced 80 or 40
eggs the system becomes somewhat
enfeebled and the eggs often lack
vitality.
"Spring ducks" are young ducks
that are less than 10 weeks old and
weigh about seven or eight pounds
per pair.
Sulphur and old tobacco leaves
burned in the poultry house with
the house closed up tight will clear
it of red lice.
If given the choice, hens will
always prefer bones, broken up the
size of grains of corn, to ground
bone or bone meal.
The nests should always be ar
ranged that the hens can walk in
upon them, rather than be obliged
to jump down upon them.
Lice will not remain on fowls that
are frequently fed with sulphur, but
care must be taken not to feed too
much, nor in damp weather.
Shortcut straw is good for bed
ding in the coops and brooders, but
should be changed sufficiently often
to prevent it's becoming too foul.
Bread soaked in milk and then
squeezed dry and spread out on a
board makes a good feed, as vari-
ETY., for young chickens, but it
should not be fed sloppy and wet.
1t is definitely settled that we
can breed for eggs the same as for
milk or butter. Eggs from good
layers will be more likely to hatch
good layers than eggs from poor
layers.
A fat hen seldom lays anything
but soft shelled eggs. Apoplexy and
egg-bound are the results of exces-
sive fat. 1t is much better to keep
the appetite sharp, compelling the
hens to be active and search for food
While milk of all kinds is good
for fowls of all kinds, it should not
be made to take the place of water
A good plan is to keep supply of
both where they can help them
selves.
