Poultry.

1t is strange that country like
ours, containing ample territory and
exporting so much cheap wheat,
does not produce enough eggs for
home consumption. When the
tariff was five cents IA dozen we i'm
ported over $2,OOO,OOO worth. Rather
than ship so much raw material let
US turn it into eggs.
Dampness in 4 poultry house
means sick fowls. The surroundings
should be such that after "A rain the
water will rapidly disappear.
The lays Of the morning sun
should strike into the poultry
room; it is a mistake to put all the
windows on the south side. 1t is a
good plan TO have the longest side of
the coop face the southeast. No
question at all but that egg pro-
duction in winter largely depends
upon sunshine. A hen loves it.
Watch her stretch herself in the
bright rays.
If you have coop large enough,
properly located, built on dry
ground, air tight, with good floor,
you are properly fortified for re-
munerative crop of eggs next winter,
whatever your breed of fowls. The
next care is to provide an egg max
ing ration. After all this provision
you have gumptiOn enough to keep
the premises clean and tidy.
1t is not wise to place too much
reliance upon the points in the
poultry which count in the show
ring. Set the eggs which are laid by
the most prolific layers on the place,
and which have been fertilized in a
promising way.
1t is the farmers own fault if he
can not set good table. A flock OF
hens and a good garden, kept separ-
ate, are wonderful resources toward
carrying a family through the sum-
mer.

Dairy.


So far as the influence is shown
upon the milk and butter, it is
somewhat doubtful il grain directly
pads when fed to milk cows which
are to receive all the fine grass they
need. There is no food which will
take the place of good, rich grass.
The finest grain mixture ever de-
vised will not answer so well. If the
grain is fed for the purpose of MAX
ing bone, muscle and strength, that
is another thing.
Even on the best dairy farms there
is more or less variation in the cream
and butter, and it is difficult to max e
the same grade of butter at all times.
The influences are manifold, and to
certain extent seem to be beyond
the control of the dairyman.
Deferring the watering for an hour
or two invaribly causes a slight
shrinkage in the milk and deteriO-
ration in its quality. Allow a cow to
90 withoutits regular food for short
time, and she grows FESTIVE, and
every ones knows what a disastrous
effect this has upon the milk flow.
Even in winter feeding the succu-
lent silage has more influence upon
the milk flow than the grain ration,
showing that while grain has its
function to perform in the food eco
nomy it does not by any means make
a complete ration, especially for our
butter cows.
With proper foresight dairyman
can often buy fresh cows and sell
for more than cost at the end of two
or three years. He can well afford
to give for such a one what he is sure
will come back to him after he has

Agriculture.

hBTlcuIluFes
If grain is well stacked aud a rain
comes after the thresher arrives, the
work is not stopped an unnecessari-
ly long time, while if such thing
happens while threshing from the
field, it may cause days delay, if
not more.
Have the silo walls tight enough
to exclude air, and the walls not
only strong, but rigid. Have it 30
feet or more in depth, if possible,
and there should not be more than
about five square feet of surface to
each animal.
TO get the full feeding value of the
sorghum crop it should be permitted
to fully mature.
If half bushel of winter rye is
sown in the corn at the time of the
last blowing, it will not only have a
tendency to choke out the weeds
which staff up afterward, but there
will be no dry murraIn among the
cattle from eating too freely of the
dry stalks.
No man can successfully farm and
ignore weeds, nor is there anything
more clearly settled among good
farmers everywhere than the prac-
ticability Of keeping all weeds I'M
der subsection. This very fact al
ways sets premium upon good
farming methods.
We should try to understand the
machinery we use, for we then will
have positive advantage over the
man who gives this subject no at
tention. With some this is gift, "
but any man with ordinary intelli-
gence can become master of his
working tools. Not only will there
be "a saving from wear and tear, but
man will always take better care
Of that in which he has special in
terest.
Cut worms come out Of the ground
and travel to the nearest green
thing. They go with difficulty over
a rough surface, and can not climb
IA perpendicular bank of earth
These characteristics teach us not
to roll and use smoothing harrow
after the corn is up, which make the
surface so smooth that the worms
can travel rapidly. The best check
to cut worms is speedy and constant
working of the soil.
Many farmers procure an excel
lent stand of clover in their wheat
but excessive pasturlng of stubblt
| fields destroys more clover thar
good care or treatment saves. Too
often must the land be plowed un'
der in the spring or the farmer bt
satisfied with a poor crop.
There is little use trying to reform
poor farmers by writing them up
! for they are tho kind who never
read any newspaper, and gOoC
counsel is wasted upon them. The
example Of one good farmer in sucf
a neighbcrhOod is worth more thar
all that can be written and printed
about them.
We kill weeds by keeping the
leaves and stalks cut off, thus pre-
venting root growth; we can, by the
grazing Of stock, destroy the clover
in the same way.
Early plowed land can be effec
lively narrowed better than tina
which lays to the sun until Angus
or September. After blowing, lane
should be narrowed at intervals, a
the weeds start, and this will max,
just such seed bed as wheat needs
Harrow plowed field just a
often as you think it needs it, anC
then harrow it just as much more
if you then harrow it as many NOR
times as you have opportunity vo,

This important Duty.

Mr. Joseph Ryland, Second Auditor of

by the colleges of the State. The en-

Of the interest for January, 1887, which
amounts to 1856 600, had already been

One of the most interesting facts in
connection with these recently ex-

a pretty clean sweep OF that class or

great deal OF trouble. There are now
