Poultry Keeping in Prospect.

Our Prospect correspondent writes. As
the record for December, 1887. OF Mr.. Good
ing Grants n pullets. A correct daily rec
ord was kept during the month and it shows
a total of IS 1-3 dozen eggs, Mr.. Grant
would be pleased to know who has beaten
this for the month of December. Some two
weeks ago we saw this flock and they are
certainly fine and lively looking specimens.
They are nearly of the same age and nearly
all alike There was no rooster in the flock.
Old cllanticleer is shut out 1t is claimed by
Mr.. Grant and many successful poultry
keepers that the eggs keep better. Only
when eggs are wanted for setting now is
the mating season. Mr.. Grant has more
than this flock, His White Wyandotte
rooster was mated with his American Dom
Unique hens, and the q black pullets are
some of the progeny. Mr.. Grant believes in
good feed and good care.
Poultry raising for eggs has increased
largely in Prospect in the last few years,
and we never supposed that in the makeup
of the people in Prospect that they were all
made so near alike that every one could
make poultry keeping profitable But l do
not suppose there are mCre black sheep in
Prospect than in other towns. Since the
long hen-house has come into vogue 1T has
stirred up that tired feeling good many
times in order to keep along in all the de-
tails to make poultry raisingla fairibusiness
in Prospect on an average. The village
people somehow keep right after the little
details better than the more broad-acre
farmers. But occasionally the woman on
some farms is hard to beat in the care need
ed to make poultry keeping success.

For the Entire Family.

Although the leading object of Farm and
Home, which our readers may procure in
connection with this paper, is, of COURSE to
acquant the cultivator of the soil with the
best methods of farming, it realizes that the
success of the farm largely depends upon
the management of the household. Accord
ingly, much valuable space in each issue is
devoted to the wife, mother and daughters,
not forgetting the boys and girls, who are
soon to become-at least we hope they are
farmers and farmers wives. Replete each
issue with great variety of original arti-
Giles on the farm, garden and household, by
the leading rural writers of the day, Farm
and Home is not only Indispensable to the
farmer, but meets the requirements of the
entire family. We cordially recommend it
as pure in tone and we'll devised to instruct
and entertain the farmer and his family.

The recent work of DR.. Robert Hunter Of
New York IS causing great deal of com
ment DR.. Hunter is one of the oldest ply
sicians now practicing i'll the city and has
devoted the greater part of his life to the
study of pulmonary diseases. Judging from
the results he has recently obtained in CON
sumptive cases, it would seem that what has
been for generations regarded as one of the
ncurable diseases will soon be classified
among the durable. We recolect that a
great many years ago DR.. Hunter announc-
ed his belief that consumption was not d
constitutional disease, but purely local and
the only possibility for successful treatment
was to apply healing remedies directly to
the lungs. In recent years, while it has
been universally accepted by the profession
that this theory was correct, it seems that it
has been left for DIR. Hunter to discover and
apply such remedies would make cure
possible.
