WHEN DO HENS STOP LAYING.

A Virginia subscriber who has just
bought lot of old hens desires to
know at what age they cease laying,
and writes as follows: 1 am just be-
ginning the poultry business and [
have thirty old hens of mixed breeds
and have just bought twelve pullets,
also mixed. want to know at what
age hens stop laying, or rather at what
age it is best TO get rid of them. Some
I now have are at least three years old,
and from the thirty hens I average
about three eggs per day, sometimes
more and sometimes less I feed
mostly on corn How long will eggs
keep packed in salt, and what is their
market value compared with fresh
eggs?
The best hen we ever had was seven
years old, and she layed more eggs
than any other hen or pullet on the
place The difficulty with old hens is
that they fatten more readily than the
pullets; and that is where the begin
ner is perplexed. The expression in
the above, II feed mostly corn" is
the cause of the few eggs, and not the
age of the hen. A hen is in her
prime at four years of age, and eggs
from hens that are not too fat will pro-
duce stronger chicks than the eggs
from pullets. The Poultry Keeper.

VENTILATION OF HORSE STABLES.

The necessity for working the horse,
and therefore for keeping him in
working condition, prevents him from
having the advantage which every
other farm animal enjoys of running
in the fields of grass in the summer
season. There can hardly be the
change from old oats to new when the
new crops comes in without causing a
loosening of the stools, which always
means weakening of all the muscul-
ar system. But, though he must be
kept on dry foed, the work horse
should have, as he is fully entitled to,
the purest air that blows. Stables in
summer require thorough ventilation.
Horse manure heats readily and gives
off strong smell of ammonia. This
not only rots harnesses, but it is also
very injurious to the horses. We
have known many horses to go blind
from being kept, in summer, in dark,
poorly ventilated stables. Whenever
q horse goes blind, if the fact is inves-
tigated, the lack of ventilation is more
apt to be the cause than anything
else.-Boston Cultivator.

CLAY SOIL FOR PEARS.

Sand that contains too much clay to
be proftably worked may be made
profitable for growing pears if it is
made free from surplus moisture. 1t
is better to dig the drains deep on
such land, at least three feet, if suffi-
cient outlet can be obtained, But as
the clay may at first be impervious to
water, the underdrains should be filled
with small stone to within twelve or
fifteen inches of the surface. Then
the soil will be gradually deepened by
freezing, and the pear roots will go
down to the depth of the underdrain.
The result will be that these deep
rooted pear trees will be much less
liable to the sudden changes of tenn
perature which cause blight in pear
trees in shallow soil whose roots run
near the surface and are subject to
frequent alterations of temperature.
Besides, the clay soil almost always
contains the mineral plant food that
the pear tree requires, and which
undertaking makes available. Yet
even on clay soils wherever pears are
grown, heavy applications of potash
and phosphate are always advisable.

ths sole. thus making receptacle for

the sole, thus making receptacle Tor
the collection of sand, mud, filth,
gravel and other matters that do much
mischief. 1t is much as if the shep-
herd had the upper of his shoe grow
ing down over the sole, and having an
opening between the two for the col
lection of all such stuff as mentioned,
SAYS the Kansas Farmer.
How would the shepherd feel to be
compelled for weeks and months to
submit to this unpleasant condition OF
things? But it is precisely what the
sheep suffers, unless it is closely looked
after and the mischief prevented. 1t
is going on when the sheep is seen
feeding ON its knees, painfully crawl
ng about in the pasture, or when 1t is
standing stupidity in fence corner
with its head down and fighting the
pestilent flies.
The soft ragged horn, turning under
the sole, is to be shorn off, and If the
toe is at all projecting, it is to be
shortened before it turns up like the
slipper of a heather Turk. 1t will be
a good thing at the same time to dis
infect the feet by applying some Of
this ointment, which every shepherd
should keep a stock of, for dressing
cuts, wounds, sores, etc, and to avoid
fly blowing. Take one pound OF pure
lard or vaseline, one dram of carbolic
acid, half pound of Venice turpentine,
two ounces of acetate of copper. Melt
the first and third together, then add
the others, and stir and grind together
to get an even mixture.
This is an excellent remedy for all
diseases of the feet, a preventive OF
foot rot, useful for shearing cuts, and
all kinds of sores.

FLOWING PREVENTS DROUGHT.

1t will be found that while the Sc II
is kept loose by blowing and cultiva-
ton its capacity for absorbing and
holding water is much greater than
where it is neglected. Thus every
weed and surplus growth must be
scrupulously kept down, as everything
that grows is constantly drawing
moisture from the soil If we can get
the upper and lower moisture in the
soil to meet the battle is won. If,
however, there is dry streak of soil a
foot or more below the surface, vege-
tation will suffer.

A CULINARY PHILOLOClST.
Origin OF Some Words Used in Dining.
Room and Kitchen.

Ella Hicks johnson, one of the new
generation of writer's, has developed a
specially of general interest to the
etymologist and philologist and of
special interest to all lovers of good
living.
1t is the origin of words employed
in the dining-room and kitchen.
Nearly every one has long and hon
orable history, and many indicate the
changes which have been brought
about in the process of civilization.
The sandwich, she says, is called for
the Earl of Sandwich, Force meat
was deprived from farce meat, the first
syllable being the French word farcie,
meaning stuffed or stuffing; gumbo is
the African name for okra, waffle
comes from wafel, an ancient word
meaning a honeycomb, or any spungy
substance.
This field is very wide one. Pro-
lessor Russell showed many years ago
that the fish known as porgy in New
York and soup in New England was
originally called scuphaug by the In
dams, the thrifty Yankee taking the
first syllable and the slower Knicker-
booker the second, which he made
into dissyllable. Tomato and potato
are the original Indian names, which
have supplanted those given by the
early English discoveries of the escu-
Tents mentioned. The old English
names were earth-apple and love-
apple.
Fritters came from the italian or
Spanish fritas, meaning fried things;
curry is taken from the Tamil kari, or
the Malabar "kurri," which means q
stone used for grating, Where we
employ metal crater the Hindus use
strong sandstone for the same pur
pose. On this they rub their spices,
such as nutmeg, turmeric, cardamon
seeds, cinnamon, cloves and ginger,
which are the chief ingredients of the
socalled curry powder, and which are
the main characteristics of all dishes
belonging to the curried class. Ia
male comes from Mexico and is
claimed to be of Aztec and also OF
Maya origin. Grill is derived from
the old Settle grid, which reappears
in our familiar term, gridiron. Ash
cake does not come from the Southern
States, but from ancient times in
Great Britain, when all people restrict
ed their bread making to baking mix
lures of -four or meal and water and
salt in the ashes upon. fast days aad
days of penance.

ing out once week or semi-occasion-
ally.
Farmers who want good supply OF
eggs in winter when prices are high
should remember that cabbages and
roots will be necessary. Every far
mer should raise supply of these es-
sentials for his poultry flock. The in
crease in eggs will make the trouble q
well-paid-for investment.
If your poultry are confined in re-
stricted yards, if you wish to keep
them in health, keep the spade bright
with frequent use. Frequently spad-
ING up the soil will keep the yards in
good sanitary condition, and will FUR
nish the hens exercise they delight
in.
There are great many persons
offering sure roup remedies. Ii they
took as much interest in properly
avoiding the causes which produce the
disease as they do in experimenting
with remedies to cure it, they would
save themselves much worry, and
would have healthier flock of fowls
at all times
Scaly legs on fowls are pretty sure
indication of Indifferent poultry keep
ing. The trouble mainly come from
filth and neglect Watch the legs OF
the fowls, and the first indication of
scurf wash them with soap suds, and
anoint with sulphur and lard. Never
use scaly-legged hen for sitter.
The farmer who keeps scrub poultry
is feeding good food and getting poor
results. Haphazard breeding pro-
duces inferior results. Good returns
or results never come by chance. 1t
will pay to keep good pure-bred poul-
try, but if they are treated as scrubs
generally are, better continue with
scrubs.
Farmers should get rid of all the
male birds soon as the breeding season
is over. The hens will lay just az
many eggs without the company OF the
males, and many fanciers declare they
will lay more. A lot of males running
with the hens during hot weather and
during the moulting time are source
of unnecessary annoyance. Eggs that
are not fertilized will keep much
longer than those that are.
At the summer season of the year it
is very easy to overfeed fowls. DO
not trust to their appearance, but go
at night and lift them and see if they
are not getting too heavy. An overfat
hen will suffer greatly in hot weather,
and is liable to drop dead at any time.
Avoid feeding fowls any fattening food
do not give any whole corn during
hot weather.
The litter nests are made OF are
often great sources, in hot weather,
for breeding vermin. Change the
nesting material at least every two
weeks. Fresh cut, green, fine grass,
red top, makes excellent material, and
if some green tansy can be had to put
with it there will not be much danger
of such nests harboring insects

Old Minister.

Many stories are told of DR.. CAD
Hitchcock, who was a minister In Penn
broke. Mass, before and during revolu-
tiopary times. He was noted for his
patriotism and the fearless expression
Of his views when opportunity offered.
He was chaplain in the army at one
time. and preached many stirring ser
mon to the men.
The first sermon he published was adj
dressed to a military company at the
time when the French were making In
roads on the northern frontier. The
year before the breaking out of the rev.
olution he preached his famous "Elec-
ton Sermon" which reused Gov. Gage
to great wrath, and struck even the
minister's stanchest friends as Had
yised. 1t Is said that when Doctor
Hitchcock wrote 1t, the Governor was
not expected to be in the audience at
the time of its delivery.
When 1t was found that he was there,
one of the minister's friends suggested
that slight modification of some OF
the strong expressions in the sermon

Hitchcock was of another mind.

On his journeyings to and from Bos-
ton he usually fell into conversation
with any one with whom he was
thrown. One day he Travelled to Bos-
ton in company with sailor OF whom
he asked many questions as to his

At last the sailor began questioning
in his turn: "What is your name!' no

BREEDING GROUND HOGS FOR FOOD.

BREEDING GROUND HOGS FOX Foop'
Henry Singer, well known and
thrifty farmer of near Duvall Station,
Scott County, Ky, has for the past
two years been DEMONSTRATING the
ground hog with much success. Mr..
Singer found burrow in which he
captured seventeen ground hogs, and,
taking them into small lot on his
place, he built a close wire fence
through which none could escape.
Last year the hogs increased to 205,
and this year there were 1,673. OF
this number Mr.. Singer killed 1000,
which he sailed away and will smoke
dry, as Kentucky farmers do with
ordinary pork. The ground hog
when so cured is great delicacy, and
Mr.. Singer has more than enough to
furnish his meat for the coming year.
