The Cultivation of sage.

Sage will bear transplanting, and can

plants should stand in rows one foot
apart and six inches between the
plants in the rows. The plant can be
cut down near the roots and spread out
to dry; or il raised for the market, the
leaves should be picked off and dried.
Sage is good for several years II pro-

MIX .. He. Food.

1t is being discussed as to whether
milk will take the place of meat for
poultry. Milk is really superior to
r;eat, but the fowls cannot drink
enough of it TO enable them to substi.
tute it for meat, which is more concen-
trated. To derive benefit from one
pound Of solid matter in milk the hens
would have to drink eight pounds OF
milk, as there is only about Is per cent.
Of solids in milk. The consumption of
such large quantities of fluid is not
natural with fowls. They prefer meat
and are not milk consuming II they
can procure its substitute, being averse
to the use of such large quantities Of
water. Farmers Review.
