Work In Poultry Kcepiu.-

Every year many people begin poul-
try keeping with vague notion that
it is an easy way to get Il living, all the
work being done mainly by the hens.
But such persons inevitably fail, as
they ought. There is no easy way to
success in anything. To keep fowls free
from vermin and disease needs con-
slant attention and great deal of
dirty and very disagreeable manual
labor.

The egg plant Is not difficult to grow
and it is one of those vegetables not
often seen on farmers tables, but
which. IL provided. would help make an
agreeable variety. The purple egg
plant is most productive and best. The
plant belongs to the same botanical
family as the potato, and must be pro.
tected from attacks of the potato larva.
The best way is 10 watch the plants

flying, and kill the beetles before they
have laid their eggs. III any larvae

Breeding Ground Hogs for Food.


Mr.. 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 a burrow in which lie 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 1878. or 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.-Southwestern Stockman.
