FOODS FOR POULTRY.
why 1t Is More Advantageous to Fee'
Everything Dry.

Why 1t Is More Advantageous to Feed
Everything Dry.
The natural food of fowls is composed
of seeds, insects and grass. In the do
nestle condition we allow grain, grass
and meat. Turkeys and chickens drink
very little water when feeding, and
even ducks and geese resort to water
when feeding sometimes, in order TO
wash their bills more than to drink,
says the Poultry Keeper.
? This brings up the question of the
propriety of feeding soft food. 1t is
known that ground grain absorbs a
large volume of water, and when the
mixture is apparently dry, quite large
proportion of water exists in it, though
more so when the mixture is very moist
and sloppy. 1t is not beneficial water,
rs the results are sometimes injurious.
bowel disease and indigestion prevail
ing.
1t is better to feed all food dry, if
possible, and keep a trough full of wa
ter where the fowls can take what
quantity they desire. Even ground
food may be given in dry condition,
the different substances used being
thoroughly mixed and placed in 4
trough. When chicks are fed they
have cornmeal moistened several times
a day, and bowel disease results simply
because too much water is forced upon
them in the food. The fowls never re-
sort to wet food when they can get dry
kinds, and this is a matter that deserves
attention

ART IN AGRICULTURE.

Elevating Factor.

1t Is Coming to BE Quite an Important
Eleyating Factor.
Art in agriculture is coming to be
more and more noticeable every day.
With the advent of new methods, i'm
proved implements and wider knowl-
edge of the field, the agriculturist is
rising higher in the field of useful or
ornamental art as the years go by. We
may say that sharp competition is no
small factor in this progressive move
ment, says the agricultural student.
Take, for example, the manner in which
certain products are prepared for the
open market. The improvement in the
condition Of certain dairy products and
fruit on market in the last few years
is truly wonderful. The reason, OF
course, is that people always buy that
article which is put up in the most
tasteful and attractive style, and are
willing to pay little more for it. With
this change comes more wholesome
effect upon the article itself, and dis
ease is much less disseminated through
food at the present time than formerly.
Greater precautions are taken now
than ever before in preventing the
spread of contagious diseases in this
manner, and with the increase in the
size of the cities and the greatss liabil-
ity to ill-health, these precautions can-
not he observed too carefully. Thu,

American Horses in England.

During the last year no less than TO-
600 American horses have been sold in
London alone. A large number are
used for the omnibuses and street cars.
The cabmaster and smaller dealer pro-
fess not to touch them, the former be-
lieving, and possibly rightly, that the
majority of foreign horses are some
what soft, while, as rule, he declares
that ut his price he can get plenty of
well-bred English horses, and that they
do his work very well. The fact is. how
ever, that there are almost as many
American horses drawing cabs as Amer
lean subjects riding in them. After
American and Canadian horses have
changed hands under the hammer they
are resold without anything being said
about their nationality. They get into
the country and add to the difficulties
and perplexities of the breeder.-Lon-

NEGOTIATING LAND.
The Principle of incubation In the Do
main of Agriculture.

main of Agriculture.
Research has demonstrated that the
soil OF our fields is literally teeming
with bacteria, which, according to some
recent experiments, may be present to
the extent of 100000 per gramme
(the one-twenty-sixth part of an ouncc)
OF soil; and that these bacteria are
largely instrumental in conducting to
the successful growth of vegetation by
preparing, in forms suitable for assimi-
lation by the plant, the different food
substances it derives from the soil, says
the Quarterly Review. The latest APP
plication, in the domain of agriculture,
OF the great principle of incubation,
Is In many respects of a more striking
nature than anything yet accomplished
by this line of research, and consists OF
the incubation of the soil with pure
cultures of bacteria for the purpose of
promoting plant growth.
incubation of a soil with these cul-
lures, on practical scale, may be af-
fected in either of two ways. First, the
seed of the crop it is desired to inocu-
late may be inoculated before IL is
sown. This is effected by making n
watery solution of the pure cultivation,
immersing the seed in it, and subse-
quently drying it; or, secondly, II may
be effected by inoculating quantity Of
fine sand or earth in the same way, and
then spreading it over the field and sub
sequently working it into the soil to a
depth of about three inches. Natural.
ly, point of considerable interest is
the economic question of the cost OF
such treatment. 1t is interesting to
learn that this is extremely moderate,
as the expense of inoculating a field in
this way amounts to the very moderate
sum of five shillings per acre. This can
not be regarded as expensive, and con-
trasts favorably with the expense o.
heterogeneous fertilizers.

ALASKA ONLY HALF MADE.
Country Where Mountains Smoke and
Coal Is as Soft as Soap.


Prof. l.. l.. Dyche, of the University
of Kansas, returned recently from Alas
Ka TO Seattle on the City of Topeka,
and left by way of California for his
home. Prof. Dyche went to Cooks in
let especially in search of natural his
tory specimens. He assembled to the
source of the Knill river with an organ
lied expedition that was success, al
though the obstacles to be overcome
were appalling. The native boatmen
stripped naked, and with ropes pulled
the boat up the turbulent river. Prof.
Dyche got specimens of new noun
tain sheep, 12 immense moose heads,
caribou, sea otter, birds and many
small animals. July II Prof Dyche saw
eight inches of snow fall, and August
II six inches fall. He saw three smok-
ing mountains, and experienced an
earthquake of such strength that q
man could not remain standing during
The quake. He found large coal lodges,
but the coal was SO soft that IL could
he whitfield with knife. Prof. Dyche
says that the country is only half made,
anG adds:
ut will be good country some day,
when il is finished. The glaciers are
slowly doing their work, the mountains
are smoking and the rivers are vomit-
ing out quantities of quicksand. Let
it alone, and some day it will be good
country"
Prof. Dyche met Princess Tom, a
famous Yakutat princess, wealthy be-
yond all other Alaska Indians. She
mas SIS 900 in gold twenties on her right
arm. She wears five bracelets, each
hammered out of gold 90, and on
her left arm she wears ten bracelets,
each made of ten-dollar gold piece.
She has hundreds of blankets, sea-otter
skins, etc, and she owns n schooner and
two sloops. She is 65 years old, and has
lust bought her fifth husband, young
man, 20 years old, for whom she paid
500 blankets.

1t Is the Best Way to Exercise Poultry In
the Winter.
The sketch herewith shows the "sec-
ond-best" scratch room for my fowls
this winter, which proved so useful last
season. A frame 12x16 feet of posts,
poles and brush, and upon the brush
roof, fodder piled deep will be the style
OF it. The north and west will be
banked with bound bundles of the fod-
der, the east end will be against the
west end of the main poultry house, and
the south, which is the front, will be
muslin covered. The muslin breaks
the wind and cold from them, and al
lows the sun to shine in across the
whole floor. The muslin-covered door
opens into the room from the yard.
This for my make-shift scratch-room.

12x15 feet, feet high in front and
slopes to 4 feet high at the back. The
roof is shingled and the front that was
once muslin-covered, is now of board
ing and windows, for throughout the
year it is in use for different purposes.
This room is divided into two compart-
ments by wire fence netting, for sum-
mer use as rooms for breeding stock or
for hens and chicks. But when used
for a winter scratch-room, the door is
left open and they have ali the room to
work in. The floor is deep covered with
straw, and the fowls are kept sufficient
ly hungry to keep them scratching.
Small doors, less than foot square.
open into either room from the roost-
ing, or main house.
When the weather is dry and the corn
fodder palace (?) perfectly dry, they
are divided into two fiocks. But should
the fodder-built room become damp,
they all go to the room that is dry and
warm. Sometimes they are little
crowded. But as soon as their house is
cleaned in the morning, they have that
room also to exercise in.
The cost of such permanent scratch
room is not great. And the one con-
structed of fodder costs nothing at all
except the work, for the refuse brush,
poles, etc. are found upon almost any
farm. If you have not the fodder in
available shape, you have surely plenty
of straw. Many farmers have their.sup-
ply of straw baled every year. Such
material as baled straw to bank the sides
of such a room could scarce be sur
passed. Once the scratch-room theory
Is put into practice in ones poultry
yards. the practice will never he aban-
doned, for the birds must have exercise.
