G G FOR BROILERS.

Among dairyme there is a differ
ence of opinion as to whether a man
who pushes everything for milk should
De aU The expense Of time, milk and
money to raise his COWS, or whether be
should crowd g cow for all there is IN
her till her usefulness is gone as a
mixer, then let her go and fill her
place by purchase. Each system of
replenishing the dairy hasi It's advocates.
So, in the broiler business, there are
those who hold that the broiler raiser
should keep hens to produce the eggs
he wishes to use. Oae puts forth his
ideas in these words: The wise broiler
raiser and the one who makes the m yet
out of it, raises own eggs. Last year,
those who bought up their eggs aver
aged a hatch of about thirty-fve per
cent. Such costs cut deep into the
profits"
To produce broilers from eggs that
are home products RI quires much more
land than when the eggs are bought
from those who keep hens for their
eggs. the broiler raisers who buy ali
II a portion OF the eggs they use in the
production of broilers are just as ear
nest in advocating the rightness-
profitableness-of their way as their
opponents. Mr.. r. G. White is a sue
cessful broiler raiser and he buys all
the eggs he uses. He gives his reason
for 50 doing in these YSfcaa:- IL IL
lave much faith in egg farms, uni SO
the hens can have a free range. l have
not ground to keep enough fowls on
such a plan So lido the next best thing
by buying up my eggs from small
focks, and from birds that have my
personal supervision; that is, they are
mated and composed of such bloods as
will hatch good broilers."
The farmer who raises a few hundred
broilers as a side issue can produce the
eggs on his farm or buy a few of his
next neighOor to fill the incubator.
The amount Of time needed to be
given to the work Of raising broilers
depends on the extent Of the business,
Those who turn out large numbers give
their whole time to the work. Atten-
ton to ~incubetors and brooders, pre-
pairing the feed, giving it and water to
the chicks, with the other necessary
work connected with the business,
eau .es the day to slip away. lch day
IS a repetition of the previous one, till
the season is over.

HORTICULTURE
HOW NATURE PROTECTS SEEDS.

Mr.. G.. N. Williams says n an ex
change: ''The nuts have learned by
long experience how good they are,
and have armed themselves with for
midable husks to strengthen their
chances for being left uneaten. Inc
chestnut from the very beginning
shows only the part we know as the
trio of little bristles at the end Of its
tail. Then the beech nut has a tough
hull to protect it through its growing
DAYS. Bat the rude exterior Of both
these nuts protects the doWniest OF
nests for the seeds from babyhood to
~ripeness. The shellbark and walnut
are wre pped in a close bitter hull until
the inner we'll nigh im~penetrable shell
is a well-hardened propection. The
squirrels must get through most OF
them, of course, but they do not gnaw
at more than is necessary, being eco
nomic in the matter of dentistry. The
acorn does not seem so we'll protected,
perhaps it is because it is the natural
food of the rodents, while the richer
walnuts and shellbaIks are meant tCr
rare luxuries, being so diff cult attain
able. The squirrels, it would sesm,
would eat even chestnut burrs when
hard pressed. l have seen the snow

THE FALL OF A LEAF.

The fell of a leaf is a natural process
characteristic of the higher type of
vitality in a tree. Alayor of cork cells
is formed under this high vital power,
and the leaf is detached. With a weak
ening of vital power the cork cells are
not formed, and then the leaves are not
thrown eff, but remain attached to the
tree. Any one may find lessons in this
line from soma forest trees, especially
with some kinds of oak. frequently
it is the case that a large proportion OF
leaves will remain on the tree all win,
ter, dry and brown, until the advancing
growth throws them eff; but they al
ways will befound on the weaker trees,
or weak or half dad b~FaiRRGGhhlets, chiefly
those IN hhg'centre of the wee S 9hsTe
.n0 apSg9nse Of light or the absence of
-&&d feads to a weakening growth.
It may also be seen where, during
the summer season, a branch may be
partially broken by the wind. Al
though that branch is not sufficiently
broken to die entirely, it's vital power
is considerably checked, and the OBJ
server may note that the leaves on this
branch remain dead and dry all the
winter, while the leaves on all the rest
of the tree may have fallen. A valu
able lesson is therefore taught by this
experience that the fall of the leaf is a
result Of high vital energy. We may
say that the perfectly healthy tree
ought to shed it's leaves easily when
the proper period for the fall Of the
leaf arrives. If it does not shed ira
leaves easily we may understand that
we have a sickly ree.-Thomas Mehan.
