the fowls, mornings, on warm mash of

L give the mash with oats and wheat,
corn very sparingly; also keep them
well supplied with cracked shells and
plenty of water-always in winter.

Barred Plymouth Rocks, and thought
them the fowl par excellence, until [
tried the White Wonder fowls. Ipro-
cured a sitting last year, Matching
them in June. Twelve fowls were
wintered in pen six by six feet square
without any other run. They began
to lay the first of January and have
laid constantly ever since, keeping the
egg basket filed with fine brown eggs.
AS egg producers they cannot be ex-
celled for the table, being fine, plump
and Juicy. They are about the size of
the Rocks, and being pure white,
without colored pin-feathers, are GER

being one of the best ofinsecticides. -

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Save all the waste mortar for the
chickens.
Market all the birds that show any
signs of weakness.
If hens are too fat, feed less corn and
more oats or wheat.
Clean plumage and bright red
combs are indications of good health.
After hen is three years old the
number of eggs will annually de-
crease.
After washing why not utilize the
hot suds by scalding out the hen
houses?
The too free feeding of alfalfa is apt
to have a noticeable effect on the flavor
of the milk
The laying of unusually large eggs
is proof that the hens are in an over
fat condition.
Thorough and judicious pruning
each yenr has tendency to prolong the
life of the peach tree.
The Plymouth Rock attains Iavino
maturity earlier than the Wyandotts,
but the latter is the more persistent
layer.
The hens of the small breeds start
IN laying earlier than those of the
larger breeds, but they also begin to
fail earlier.
As the late summer is the season for
budding, many good-for. nothing
fruit tree may be transformed into
something worth having by the pro-
cess of budding.
The fairs are good places to root out
prejudice and long, deep-set ideas.
The wise farmer realizes that he can
not afford TO miss a good thing SO he
attends the fairs.
The best way to get a good flock is
to raise it. Keep the best and send
the inferior to the butcher. Use only
a thoroughbred ram, but remember
that pedigree does not make sheep
any more than diploma makes a doc
tor.
There is no doubt, if there was some
sort of n farm study in the country
schools and even n flower bed agricui.
ture practiced in the school house
yards, that there would be great
gain made in the direction of better
love for farm life.
The size Of all melons, squash and
pumpkins may be increased by pinch
ing back the ends of the vines after
fruit has set. 1t is also we'll to remove
some of the latter blossoms and the
small fruit that will not get LARGO
enough to use, thus diverting to whit
is larger tho sap that would otherwise
go to waste
The prevailing impression is, TINT
where there is an over-abundant crop
of either grain, vegetables or fruieone
season, the next will be one OF scar
city. Acting upon this suggestion.
fruit growers in the South Atlantic
states arc making extra efforts TO
utilize the present unprecedented
crop, especially Of apples, in the best
possible way.

1t is so little understood that failrees
frequently occur, which in most in
stances discourage further effort.
The principal cause of failure with
bulbs in the garden consists in overes-
tiaating their hardness. While they
are always classed as hardy, they are
by no means so, and in Holland-the
only country where they are extensive
ly grown for commercial purposes
they are so thoroughly protected that
frost never reaches the bulbs. 1t is a
popularity with nearly all bulbs, and
with the hyacinth in particular, that
all preparations for spring flowers are
made In the previous fall and winter,
and If the ground is hard frozen there
Will be but an imperfect development
of flowers. 1t is, therefore, important,
In planting bulbs in the open ground,
to protect them against any POSSIBLE
ity of freezing. After planting, the
ground should be covered with auy
mulch that will accomplish this pur-
pose. The most natural protection is
newly fallen leaves. If a covering of
six inches of leaves is put over the bed
and for about two feet beyond it's
outer edges, and these are kept in
place by brush or evergreen boughs,
protection will be complete. In Hol-
land the seed that grows in the great
est abundance on the banks OF their
canals is employed with the best sue
cess.
In this country we have more OBJ
stacles In the way of climatic inhu-
ences to contend against than in any
other. Alternate freezing and thaw-
ing after the buds appear materially
injUre the bloom, and this should be-
guarded against. After the mulchinp
is removed-as it should be as soon as
the plants appear above ground-mats
or other neat covering should be in
readiness to throw over the plants at
night whenever there is an indication
OF frost. These should be kept on dur.
ing the day when the temperature is
below the freezing point. With these
precautions, as large and fair flowers
can be produced in this country as in
Holland. The tulip will endure hard
freezing better than the hyacinth, but
the difference in the size of bloom aud
the healthfulness of plants, between
those that have been protected and
those that have not, will be apparent
to the most casual observer. The same
Is true of the crocus and the snow
drop, while the polyanthus narcissus
is more tender than the hyacinth, and
must be fully protected. - New Eug-
land Homestead.

CARVING LIGHTS 1Nro BARNS.

Carrying a lamp or lantern into a
barn where there is hay is dangerous
practice, however careful one may be.
Better cut an opening in the partition
wall, or in the barn door, and insert a
pane of glass. A bracket under this
on the outside affords n place to set
the lantern, whence its rays will light
up the interior. Two OF such places
can be made-.one for the feeding
floor and one for the cattle quarters.
Then there will be no danger from an

CRACKED HooFs.

This trouble is mostly due to want
of care of the horses feet, and quite
frequently to the standing in manure.
A horses feet should be frequently
washed, and then well rubbed with
pure vaseline; the floor of the stable
should be of earth, on the front half,
and the whole should be kept well
Uttered. Sawdust is the best of all
kinds of litter for the horse stable.
The horn OF the hoof naturally con-
tains nearly one-half its weight of
water, and it is this water to which
the electricity OF the horn is due. If
by any means this water is driven out
of the horn, either by absorption or
internal Inflammation, the horn will
shrink, and then, unable to bear the
tension due TO the pressure of the
weight of the animal, it will crack,
and it is a difficult matter to heal the
cracks. Thus it is far easier to pre-
vent the trouble than to cure it. But
frequent sonping of the hoofs, with
the application of vaselino or glycer-
inc, but not grease or tar, will in time
restore the condition of the horn. -

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
PIGS LIKE POTATOES.

Pigs appreciate potatoes moro than
do most other animals. 1t is their
nature to root and find such things in
the ground, and next to following this
natural propensity is the privilege OF
having such things offered them. A
small amount may be profitably fed
raw, but large quantities will not do
unless boiled. Put into tub before
they are cold they should be mashed
and mixed with milk and a little corn
meal. The quantity should not be
large at first, but small and gradually
increased. Agriculturist.
