There is growing feeling in fa-
vor of selling eggs by weight, and
it is probably only a matter OF time
when that will be the practice.
One of the best substances for
asparagus is soapsuds. If a drain
can be arranged along row of as
paragus, SO as to receive all the
soapsuds that may be made the eff
feet will be very beneficial.
Cabbage should be started in the
hotbed early, as they are not as ten
der as some plants and will stand
exposure early in the season. Ear
ly cabbage cannot be gotten into
market too soon, and they always
bring good prices.
No farm should ever go backward
in fertility. When it fails to pro-
duce crops fully up to the average
there should be more money ex-
pended for manure or fertilizers, as
it will then be the best investment
that can be made.
1t is an old maxim that half the
battle is putting stock, either young
or old, into winter quarters in
thrifty condition. They are then
half wintered so far as the con-
sumption of food goes toward bring
ing such stock through to Spring
in a good and profitable shape.
There can be no error in mixing
cut vegetables and other soft food
for the fowls, for their natures
crave it. There are eggs in potatoes,
and the squash adds nice flavor
to poultry meat. One of the best
articles of diet for them is young
clover cut fine; and they are very
fond of it. Malt sprouts and cab
bage are excellent

Fertilizers for Cabbage.

Nitrogen fertilizers are the best
fertilizers to promote rapid growth
in cabbage plants, as in the cabbage
leaf growth is very abundant Such
applications, therefore, as nitrate OF
soda, sulphate of ammonia, and
flesh meal are excellent. But good
results may also be looked for from
applying superphosphate, and in
deed any of the unadulterated pre-
partitions that may be obtained
from slaughter houses. The purely
heterogeneous fertilizers should al
ways be applied on the surface, and
after the plants are above ground,
otherwise the soluble parts may
pass down through the soil before
the roots of the plants can take them
up. The superphosphate may be
applied very conveniently by strew-
ing it over the surface of the ground
just when preparing it to receive
the seed.-The Market Garden.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1896-02-15
Feeding Fat Hens.

AS we have said before, fat hen
will not lay But how must we feed
the fat hens in order to reduce them
in flesh? BY Withdrawing all grain
food during the day and giving a
plentiful supply Of oats only at
night. No doubt it is disagreeable
sight to have the hens eagerly run
ming up for their food in the morn
ing, only to be refused, but stern
necessity should know no pity with
them, and they should be made to
remain hungry, They will then
scratch and hunt for something to
eat, which is just what you desire
them to do, and thereby reduce
some of the accumulated fat, They
may be given grass twice during
the day, however, but keep the
grain from them until night. 1t
will be a treat to them when they
get the oats, and they may then
have all they can eat, just before
going on the roost. After they are
brought to proper condition they
will feel better, begin to lay and be
less liable to disease. Oats make
an excellent food for laying hens.

Adjoining the Grounds of a New
Home.

Where it can be done the new
home should be somewhat adorned
the very first year. It may not be
possible to do very much, but some
thing can be done, if nothing more
than turning over few feet of
ground with the spade, in some con-
spicuous place. and sowing it with
some of the hardy ANNALS. A few
dimes invested in seed will enable
the new corners to grow several
varieties of ANIMALS, sown in the
respective seasons for each, this will
be some evidence or will carry with
it an impression that something, at
least, of refinement is found in that
home, and good impressions made
on others are always possessed of
some value. Then, some shrubs
may be planted the first year, if
they can be obtained. They viii
be found of some service by way of
furnishing bloom the second year,
if they do not the first season. If
some ANNALS are sown, as indicat-
ed above, the want of bloom in the
shrubs the first year can be better
borne, and if some bulbs are put
out in the Autumn of the first year,
then there will be attractive bloom
as soon as the Winter is gone. And
as soon as the bloom leaves the
bulbs, if not indeed, before, there
will be some bloom from the shrubs.
Lilacs, syringas, spiraeas and roses,
in some of the varieties, are hardy,
and generally they can be easily
obtained.-The Market Garden.

Medium sized Pigs.

The time for very fat pigs has
passed. The market prefers a pig
that has some lean along with the
fat, and such can be produced with
the'sam increase of weightas when
fat predominates. Farmers will
never abandon the great American
cereal-corn- nor should they do
so, but they can vary the food with
a more heterogeneous ration and there
by secure fully as heavy weight, as
we'll as promote the thrift of the
hogs, by using the varied articles Of
food.

Notes for Reekeepers.

Spring is the best time to invest
money in bees.
Strong colonies protect them
selves against robbers.
All excess of drone comb should
be removed from the hive.
Bees Matched in the Fall will live
through Winter until Spring.
Avoid blowing your breath among
the bees while handling the combs.
More bees are lost in wintering
than by disease or in any other
way.
When a considerable number of
hives are kept, seven feet each way
is far enough to place them.
The space around the entrance to
the hives should be kept SO clean
that dead bees can readily be seen.
If you have a lot of empty comb
in the hives where the bees have
died, save it until the working sea-
son, when it can be used.
Pure Italian bees, as rule, are
the easiest handled. Not only do
they sting less, but they keep their
places on the combs better.
If you deprive the colony of its
queen the bees will set to work to
raise another, SO long as they have
any worker larvae in the hive with
which to do it.
In selecting brood for queen rear
ing, be sure to have no drone lar
vac, for the. bees will often build
queen cells over them, resulting in
nothing but a dead drone.
The eggs deposited by a fertile
queen are always in regular order,
but those from fertile workers, and
usually those from drone-laying
queens, are scattered about irregu-
larly.
Bees build two distinct regular
sizes of cells-drone and worker
cells. OF these the drone cells are
a little the larger and the bees seem
less particular about the size than
of the worker cells.
Fertile workers are worker bees
that lay eggs, and the eggs they lay
hatch, but they hatch only drones
and never worker bees, and the
drones are smaller than the drones
produced by queen.
In order to avoid having fertile
workers, see that every hive con-
tains, at all times during the spring
and summer months at least, brood
suitable for raising a queen, and
you will never see a fertile worker.
If you do not find any queen and
see eggs scattered around promis-
cuously, some in the drone and
some in the worker cells, some in
one cell and none in the next, you
may be sure you have a fertile
worker.
When the bees are covering the
doorsteps and entrance to their
hives with a yellowish disagreeable
looking excrement, you may be
reasonably sure that they have dys-
entery, the most common cause of
which is bad food, aided by an
open, cold hive.
