FEEDING FOR EGGS.

stances aE Winter Food.
The profit is always sure when every
detail is correct Cheap food must not
be estimated by the price paid for IL In
he market. The cheapest food for the
poultryman or farmer is that which
gives him the largest number OF eggs.
II matters not what the food costs, so
long as the eggs correspond. IL is the
product by which we should measure
and estimate.
Green bones are not used as extensive
ly as they should be because grain can
be obtained with less difficulty and az a
low cost, Int as reproducing material
the bone is far superior TO grain; nor
does the bone really cost more than
grain In some sections The cutting OF
the bone into available sizes is now
rendered an easy matter. as the bone
cutter Is within the reach Of ALL Bones
fresh from the butcher have more or
less meat adhering, and the more OF
such meat the better, as IL will cost no
more per pound than the bone. while
the combination Of both meat and bone
is almost a perfect food from which TO
produce eggs.
IL the farmer can get two extra eggs
per week from each hen in winter, he
will make a large profit. We may add
that II the product Of each hen can be
increased one egg per week only, in
winter. THAT one egg VIII pay for all the
food she can possibly consume, and II
therefore pays TO feed the substances
that will induce the hens TO lay. II the
hens are consuming food and yet pro-
ducing no eggs, they will cause loss
10 their owner; and this happens every
winter on large number OF farms.
The hens receive plenty of food, but not
of the proper kind.
A pound OF cut green bone is sufIi-
cient for 16 hens one day, which means
that one cent will pay for the bone for
that number Of fowls. If one quart Of
grain be fed al night 60 lG hens, and one
I pound OF bone in the morning. IL should
be ample for each day in winter In sum
mer only the bone need be given. Such
diet provides fat, starch, nitrogen.
I phosphntes, lime and all the substances
/ required 10 enable the hens 10 lay eggs.
As an egg is worth about three cents ia
winter, IL is plain that il is cheaper 20
feed bone than grain, as the greater
number OF eggs not only reduces the
total cost, but increases the profit as
well.
The bone-cutter Is as necessary TO the
poultryman as his feed mill. 1t enables
him TO use an excellent and cheap food.
and gives him a profit where he might
otherwise be compelled TO suffer loss.
/ IL is claimed that q bone-cutter pays
for itself in eggs and really costs moth
/ ing. Bones are now one of the staple
articles OF food for poultry, and no ra-
ton should have them omitted. They
are food, grit and lime, all combined
/ in one, and the hens will leave all other
| foods TO receive the cut bone If cut
| fine, even chicks and ducldings will
relish such excellent food, while turkyes
\ grow rapidly on il. To meet with sue
cess requires the use OF the best ma
terials, and green bone beats all other
substances as food for poultry

SCIENCE OF MANuRlNa.

Surface of the Soil.

Fertilizers should he Kept Near the
Surface Of the Soil.
Repeated experiment has proved that
the practice of applying large quanti-
ties Of manure TO the acre on limited
acreage, making il necessary 10 leave
much Of the land unmanured, does not
pay. Not few farmers never apply
less than 20 tons of stable manure TO an
acre, saying that they prefer to do well
what they do, and let the remainder of
the land take its chances. Twenty tons
Of manure on one acre. plowed under
for a spring crop. makes the soil richer
for years-no doubt about that-but ii
will not improve the productive power
OF n farm nearly so much as the same
amount OF manure used as a top dress
ing on three acres, providing clover $
grown with this supply Of plant food.
IL is poor farming TO keep up few acres
near the barn with the entire supply
Of stable fertilizer and let thin fields
fail TO make heavy sods. Manurial
crops are the chief dependence on a
majority of farms, or should be, and
enough farm manure should be used TO
assist thin soils wherever found, SO that
all the fields may increase their supply
OF vegetable matter and be permanently
improved, and then any additional sup
ply can be safely used TO enrich the
pet field from which one wants a banner
crop. Granting that there are eXcep.
tions, IL is the rule that manure should
be kept near the surface Of the soil,
should be applied more frequently aud
less heavily. and should be used to in
sure a growth Of some fertilizing crop.

The wheat grower who points with

The stock farmer should not permit

Ottawa, Ont, Nov. 29.--The reply OF
the Canadian government TO the prop
osition of the United States, that the
Canadians should stop killing seals for
year, beginning January 1, indicates
that il is not possible 10 comply with
the proposal, as every British subject
has the right TO engage in pelagic seal
ing unless prohibited by imperial de
cree, which can only be issued by au-
thority OF the imperial parliament, and
parliament will not meet until Feb
ruary. The Canadian reply suggests
that the proposed joint commission be
appointed and meet at once; when,
upon conclusion Of negotiations upon
the half dozen questions at issue, in
Guiding the sealing question, the neces-
sary legislation could be secured from
the British parliament and the susPen-
sion Of pelagic sealing go into effect
in the spring. II is authortatively
stated here that the United States first
proposed to pay the Canadian govern
ment lump sum Of money TO eXtin-
guish pelagic sealing, a proposal which
Sir WiIfrid Laurier refused.

Troubles I'm the Reichsrath Cause
Resignation of Cabinet

vienna, Nov. 29.-The members of the
austrian ministry on Sunday rendered
their designations 10 Emperor Francis
Joseph, who accepted them, and intrust-
ed Baron Gautsch, who holds the port
iolio OF public instruction Of the retir-
Ing ministry, with the task of forming
n new cabinet. Sunday morning EN-
peror Francis Joseph addressed an auto
graph letter TO Count Badeni, decreeing
the adjournment Of the reichsrath until
further notice. The cabinet decided 10
resign about two o'clock Sunday after
noon at meeting of the council. EN-
peror Francis Joseph had previously re-
ceived Count Badeni, Baron Banffy, the
Hungarian prime minister, Count Wei
sersheim, the Austrian minister OF ma
tional defense, and Baron Gautsch. IL
is asserted that the emperor at first de-
clined 10 accept the resignation OF the
cabinet, but Count Badeni replied:
"Your majesty. i cannot take the re-
sponsibility. BDodsbed will ensue IL
j remain in Office" Thereupon the en-.
peror reluctantly accepted the resigna-
ton.

trian reichsrath which have resulted in
the Badeni ministry rendering their reslg-

opened September % last Bitter feelings
exist between the Germans OF Austria and
the Czechs and other Slovenian rationale

10 maintain some degree OF decorum, but
