Points About Eggs.

1t is not always safe to judge an egg
by its appearance. 1t may be appar-
emily fresh, yet If it absorbs enough air
to permit it to float in water even a
little above the bottom of the dish it
may not be perfectly fresh.
The white of a perfectly fresh egg
cannot be beaten to froth as easily as
the white of an egg that is day or two
old, and if the egg is very cold the beat
ing of the white will be accomplished
more easily.
When the shell of an egg will peel off
as if the egg had been hard boiled, it is
not fresh, as the contents of fresh egg
adhere closely to the shell and must be
removed.
When held to q strong light, fresh
egg is clear, and If shaken in the hand
no Earring motion of the contents must
be felt.
Many who use eggs daily are unable
to judge Of their quality, and indeed it
is difficult to determine the freshness Of
an egg by any one, but the above may
be of use to some who are inexperi-
enced.

Poultry Notes.

Whole wheat is better for growing
fowls than corn.
There are few kinds of poultry that
pay better than guineas.
Lime will kill lice; it is good disin-
fectant; 1t will purify the air; it will
make the poultry house clean and free
from vermin.
Oats stimulate without enervating or
fattening. They form a good ration to
reduce the fat of hens that are too fat
to lay well.
Feather pulling is largely due to
idleness 1t is most liable to occur in
active breeds that are kept confined and
nave little exercise.
The only hens that it will pay to keep
through the winter are those that can
be relied upon for winter layers or that
are needed for breeders.
In raising hens for market the profit
lies in Matching early, pushing the
chickens forward as much as possible
and marketing them early.
There never was a time when careful
selection failed to give good results,
especially when extra attention is given
to the selection of the male.
Turkeys do not bear confinement well,
whether young or old. When shut up
they soon NOPE and droop their wings
and begin to fall off in condition.
Egg shells are good for the fowls, but
they should be crushed very fine before
feeding them. Otherwise you. may in
troduce the egg7eating vice into the
poultry yard.
Geese cost very little If allowed the
liberty of the fields, with access to a
pond or stream. To attempt to make
them profitable without these advan-
ages will result in failure.
One great recommendation that the
larger breeds of fowls have over the
;mall ones is that the large ones have
% stay where they are put, while the
small ones 80 where they please.
Ducks never have the cholera, roup
cor gapes; hawks will not touch them;
they lay more eggs that will hatch bet
ier than hen eggs. With good feeding
they can readily be made to weigh five
pounds in ten weeks after hatching.-

In-breeding.-There are some poul-
try keepers who inbred their flock
from year to year, and say it is not in
Arious. Why should it not be danger
GUS In fowls when it is in the human
race and in stock of all kinds? Why ia
1T that new breed generally
claims that it is unusually
hard? Is it not from the
fact that new blood has been infused to
make 1t? Are not new breeds the re-
suits of experiments in crossing? And
is not crossing the uniting of two dis
tinct bloods? All these matters need
serious consideration. And when we
are told by men who have made the
matter study that in-breeding is a
constitutional danger, is it not time
to be on the lookout? If we breed for
strictly hardy parents, and IL we
change blood in the males every year or
two, we can get up a strain of fowls
that will replace the stock we so often
get from the yards of the noted fanciers.
We are becoming better acquainted
with this fact each season.-The hide

Light Brahmas.-The light Brahma
fowls are practical fowls, and the
Yankee farmer or poultry man stands
by them, because they are fairly good
layers; and for broilers no other fowl
can excel them. They fatten very cas-
lily. They must be kept active, for a fat
Drahma hen is o non-layer, and of no
earthly good but to consume food. If
Brahmas are properly fed and kept at
work, they are among the very best
winter layers; but no breed is so easily
spoiled for that purpose unless it be
the Cochin).-Ix.

Dipping Poultry.

Early last spring Z dipped my fowls
In mixture of half pint of zeEoleum
and five gallons Of warm water. This
killed the large gray lice with which
they were infested, rites M. A. Hoyt
in Journal of Agricul sure. Later, when
the mites appeared, The process was re-
peated. Sitting he were taken from
their nests and given BATH chicks, as
they Matched were dipped, and thus all
vermin was destroyed. The hen-house
was sprayed with the same mixture,
thoroughly cleaned and emptied of ev-
erything but block for pounding bone,
boxes for nests, and movable roosts
made of green cedar poles fastened to-
gether in pairs and set up on cedar legs
eighteen inches high. The nests are
kept clear OF vermin by occasionally
inverting them over blaze made of
their 81 Y filling. The roosts stand out
from thl to prevent their acquir-
ing verm ON that source, though
cedar is sail be proof against them.
The house i. twenty feet square, with
a sand floor, which is cleaned every 9TH
with layer of road dust. The fowls
are confined in park of 40 feet circuit.
Every morning they are fed a hot mash
Of bran and potatoes, slightly sailed and
stirred up with the liquor from boiled
meat scraps. Twice q week a handful
Of sulphur is thrown into this mash.
Corn is given on the cob to make them
work little for their food. Scraps
from the meat market make them
meal every second day. For greens
they have fresh, crisp, pig weeds, turnip
tops and onions With tomatoes and
refuse fruit they are abundantly sup
piled.
All summer, from twenty-eight hens,
I have had an abundance of eggs, and
now that they are moulting, the egg
supply keeps up from fourteen to seven
teen a day. Every evening the hens are
let out to eat grass and seeds. Sun
flowers grow within easy reach, to
which they freely help themselves.
Later, I shall dip them again to destroy

He Found His Ideal.


He talked of all the troubles which
in families have arisen, and vowed
he would have none of SIGH unhappiness
in his'n. He'd never, never take a wife,
though she be swamped with gold, I'M
til he was assured that strife would
ne'er invade his fold.
His friends laughed long at his i-dee,
they loudly did deride it, and said he'd
know not what 'twould be until he'd
fairly tried it.
He started forth resolved to find a
woman of the model which was i'm
printed on the mind he carried in his
noddle.
"She must not list to SANDERS
tongue, nor see my indiscretions; she
must not scold when do wrong; must
hold no 'Caudle' sessions"
He hunted high, he hunted low,
through many a Christian nation; saw
girls who'd grace beauty show, and
maids in humble station. Nor paused
until he met success, he found his fair
ideal, and what his friends called
craziness they would now find his real.
He married her; she listened not when
SANDER made advances; from out her
eyes he never caught suspicious cruel
glances. She never spoke an angry
word, but smiled when she would meet
him, and oft by true affection spurred
with kisses would she greet him. In
short, she was the very kind Of wife for
such a chap, for she was deaf and dumb
and blind.
Now, hadn't he a snap?
