Continuous Egg Laying.

No breed of hens will lay an egg
each day for any very long time with
out period of rest. This is true
even of what are called The non-sit-
ting varities. There are few days
rest, generally, though sometimes not
more than one or two between diff
ferent settings. 1t is really surprising
to see small hen-and some of the
best layers are usually Of small breeds
producing her weight in eggs within
three or four weeks. For its bulk, the
egg furnishes the most nutritious food
that a man can eat. Except it's shell
everything is eatable and nutritious.
But all hens have to pass some time
in moulting. To produce a new coat
of feathers takes much the same kind
Of nutrition as to produce an egg.
During this period, therefore, egg pro-
duction ceases, and if mOulting is de-
layed until cold weather the fowl does
not usually begin laying until spring.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1897-08-12
POULTRY NOTES.

Feeding sunflower seeds to poultry
gives lighter luster to the plumage.
Keep ducks away from ponds or
running streams until they are six
weeks old.
One advantage with the I.angham is
that they are hardy and can stand
more cold than almost any other
breed
Lack of shell material is usually the
cause of the hens laying shelless eggs;
supply plenty of lime.
If there is ANY way of determining
the sex of eggs, the fact has not yet
been properly demonstrated.
To make duck raising profitable
they must be able to find good por-
ton of their own feed.
Ever Though eggs are cheap in sum
mer on the farm, the cost of procur-
ing them is very small.
The most care needed by goslins is
to keep them dry until they are rea-
sorably well feathered
If prices will admit when the hatch
ing season is over II Will pay to sell
off all of the males.
An advantage in supply dry dust
bath is that it helps very materially
to keep down lice.
If growing ducks are kept in damp
quarters or are allowed to go in swim
ming too young. they are liable to
cramp in their legs.
When the hens have been laying
for some time the eggs will not be as
good for Matching as those laid
earlier
When dressing capons for market,
the feathers should be left on the head,
tail and first Joint of the wing, in order
to show what they are.-Farmers'
Journal.

OF HER MATTERS.

At Helensburgh on the Firth Of
Clyde, one man alone has raised and
disposed of 100000 tulips this sea-
son.
1t is interesting to watch the growth
of young plants, hence those who
mix seedlings and strike cuttings o
home get more enjoyment out of their
flowers than those who buy their
rlarts in blossom, and the results are
more lasting.
Break up old crockery into small
pieces about as big as sixpepce Pro-
cure a flower-pot or jam-jar, and put
putty (about half al inch thick over
it. Then press the pieces of crockery
into the putty till nearly all is covered,
allie wirg the putty to ocze up between
tie pieces. Wher quite dry paint the
rutty over with gold paint. This makes
very pretty little fern-pot
The discovery that the pith of the
cern-sttlk Can be lsed in the con-
struction of war vessels is likely to be
of benefit to agriculture in more than
one way. The chief use of this pith
is for packing between the inner and
outer shells of the vessel. so that when
pierced by projectile ii will absorb
water and swell so rapidly as to close
the opening before the vessel leaks to
dangerous extent.

Women on Farms.

The women are the true helpmates.
Not only do they do their own work,
but they are able and willing to milk
the cows, and assist with the hay get
ting, and in other ways lend a hand
out of doors in emergencies. Some of
