much as will keep up their appetite for
food. If given too freely, it overcomes
their sluggishness; but the more in
clined to rest they are the more rapidly
will they accumulate wealth of flesh.
Several good breeders of pure stock in
a country always attract trade. Healthy
rivalry advertises it as a fine stock
country. Ifgood stock is introduced by
one, he will soon be followed by others
who are not willing to be outdone, and
thus the gooo work goes on, the stock
improves and prices advance.
People like to get stock from fine
stock centers, especially from we'll
known advertisers, although exactly
the same can be bought at half the price
from some timid breeder who has not
made himself known in print. If one
has been judicious in breeding, to make
the business pay he must foot his horn
little.
The proper end of prof tless cows
life is at the shambles, and the sooner
the better. Hay is high again this win
ter, and it is seasonable time to stop and
consider what horses and colts it would
be economy to dispose of before the time
for close stabling comes on. In the
herds, take this method with the cows
and calves alike.
While recognizing the value of bran
for feeding growing animals, let us not
be skeptical as to its value for fattening
stock. The finest beef can be made at
moderate cost with no other grain food
than bran. Pork will be made faster
and more cheaply if fed bran all through
and fattening period. though little oil
meal should be added.
In feeding bran to cattle. feed it dry.
and it is better to mix it with some fine
cut hay or fodder. This cut feed should
be sufficiently wet as to cause the bran
to adhere. No farmer ever yet gave bran
fair trial who was not pleased with the
result.
The hog will let you know when his
feed-time comes by his squealing. Per-
haps some of the animals which make
less noise notice your neglect just as
much. Domesticated animals are wholly
dependent upon their owner for food,
care and shelter, and we should not for
get this.
A few sheep can follow the cows upon
a pasture, consuming much that the
cows have left. A small flock can be
often handled with profit upon dairy
farm, but sheep are closer feeders than
caws, and. if not careful. the pasture
will suffer. Be sure that the flock is not
too large.

POULTK n.

More OF our professional poultry keep
ere, near the cities, are giving their at
tention to capons. There are no indica-
tions that the market will be over
stocked or prices lowered. There is yet
room for much larger production in
this lines, and it will pay those who give
it attention as business.
The color of the shell is not an index
to the quality of the eggs but in most
markets pure white shelled egg sells
better than any other; but with them
the more care must be taken, for the
white shell must not be soiled by the.
least spect OF dirt, or its superior value
is gone.
Gorging with foods which make fat
is not the way toward profitable egg
production. Whan fowls are con fined
30 that they do not get much exercise,
this is to be specially guarded against
There is no single mistake. in the care
OF poultry, 80 common as that of over
feeding.
There are some things about poultry
raising which can be taught only by ex-
perience. and in the business a little
practice is worth a world of theory. 1t
is one of the branches Of farm industry
which does not seem to have profited
much from the experiment stations. Be-
gin moderately. and acquire your own
experience.
A healthy chick requires no assistance
to free itself from the shell. The head
is 80 placed as to leave room for action:
it pecks a circle and breaks out the
larger end, admits air by degrees, aud
gradually extricates itself. An attempt
to break the she'll downward is usually
attended with loss of blood. and death
follows.
In fattening fowls for market let them
run at large until about ten days before
you wish to sell them, then shut them
up and feed them all the broken wheat
and corn on the ear they will eat, and
give them skim milk to drink. Let this
food, together with supply of grit, be
scattered in a considerable depth of
straw. They will fatten rapidly.
An onion fed to growing fowl will in
ten days time affect the flavor of the
meat 1t is unreasonable to suppose
that the filthy barnyard pool. from
which many goodly flock is obliged to
drink, will affect it any the less. The
quality of the food will make the quality
of the meat. Even be cautious to give
clean food upon clean floors and in
clean vessels.
A pound of poultry can be produced
by the farmer as cheaplY as pound of
beef or mutton or pork, and there is no
good reason why poultry should not be
found very often upon the farmers
table. 1t is just as profitable to sell the
pork and eat the poultry, and much
more wholesome.
A careful poultry keeper wipes every
egg with damp cloth as soon as it is
brought in. This removes every posi-.
BILE soil before it can become stain.
The eggs are to be then put away and not
handled until taken to market to be
sold, where they attract buyers at once.
Time thus used is we'll spent.
