Poultry Notes.
We have noticed that no business ia
without It's troubles. and that the poul-
try business is no exception TO the rule.
Disease and disaster hover around this
M well rs other occupations. II Ia
therefore best for tho poultry raiser
to take everything phllosophically.
However. II In Just little hard for
him TO look with equanimlty on tho
taking OF OF bird after bird that has
cost him either much work or much
money.
The time Of the year has come when
both road-duat and lice are near TO Ms.
The dust may be a good thing 10 bring
into close contact with the lice, and
may result IN their determination. IL
Ia easy now to get the road dust and
hard TO exterminate the lice II you at
tempt 10 do II otherwise than by use
OF dust. Using the dust makes tho
hon do the work. She will be only too
glad to take a dust bath. which is her
way OF getting clean.
Immense quantities OF eggs and poui-
try arc used by the hotola One writ
err has been trying TO ma out how
| many eggs the large hotels OF Boston
use, and he puts the number at lao
per day for an average OF the three
largest hotels. the largest user taking
i7b dozen per day. Thus each OF these
hotels uses more than half n million
the vast number OF hotels In the coun-
try It is not hard TO realize that tho
number OF eggs used In those places 10
enormous.
There are many connections urged
for the various poultry troubles. IL
ia doubtful II any OF them are cure-alls,
and II Ia more than probable that some
OF them are Of no value IN reality. Good
care IL of more value than anything
else. But diseases win sometimes
creep In despite tho best OF care.
Manipulating Breeds.-lt Is the his
tory OF all breeds that improving lands
makes them mature earlier. and thla

all the breeds. each is fitted for it's
pasture, and American pastures vary
from tho rich prairie that grows moro
grass than average acres elsewhere, to
the scnnt heritage OF the mountain
side. The best COW at the Royal Ag-
rcultural Society OF England In lS92
was an Angus: the next best three
were shorthorns. The best butter

In 1891 were from the Brown Swiss.

next highest is from Jersey. These
things will teach us that we can mako

developed such fine beef cattle In the

developed line mixers. and every stu

Relative Pronts.--There have been
many ways to estimate profits In farm
ing. so long as the soil retained ita
, original fertility, the number OF acres
that could be planted or sown was the
test OF success. u Ia common even yet
in the south TO estimate by the team
help that the planter can command
which ranges from one mule upward
But In tho northern. and especially In
: the eastern states, success In farming
4 depends not on number 4 acres. or the
team help, but on how much manure
can be had to use. Many a market
gardener on less than ten acres makeI
greater profits than the farmer OF 0

u farm crops. But the market gardener
l. must be near a good market, or the
cost OF marketing will destroy It's pro
