POULTRY DOES PAY.
One of the Most Profitable, If Not the
Most Profitable, Branches
of Farming.

Those who say poultry does not pay
do so because in the first place they do
not expend the proportionate time and
brain in caring for their fowls that they
do with their other stock, says the
Western Rural. In the second place,
they do not keep an account, hence the
many little sums are overlooked when
compared with those derived from the
cows, for instance, where many times
the capital is invested. Take care of
your hens for one season, credit them
with all the eggs and chickens used at
home as well as those sold, of course
charging the feed and time to them, and
see if they do not yield a greater profit
proportionately than the average prod
ucts at your disposal. Those who have
thoroughly tried it, either as business
in itself or as side issue, are almost
unanimous in declaring that it is one
OF the most profitable, if not The most
profitable, branches of farming. One
must not expect to do well at it unless
he is willing to devote time and talents
to it, and even then there are few who,
despite their best efforts, will fail; the
same is true in every business and pro-
fession. To such would say, try some
thing else, but to the average man 7
would recommend keeping few fowls,
if situated &c that it is at all practicable
TO do so.

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Too much stimulative feeding often
tends to induce robbing.
Colonies having defective queens are
always the foundation of trouble.
The strength of the colony deter
mines the amount of brood therein.
A board covering should never be
placed over and directly on the frames
The ground in front of each hive
should be banked up level with the en-
trance.
The first thing after hiving swarm
of bees in frame hive is to adjust the
frames.
Be sure that the entrances are kept
open; bees must have fresh air to
breathe.
The best material in the smoker is
dry, rotten wood that has become light
and spongy.
When robbing once gets started in
the apiary it is very troublesome and
hard TO check.
A gargle made of sage tea and sweet
ened with honey is one of the best rene
dies for colds or hoarsness.
When the queen goes up into the sur
plus boxes she selects drone comb If
possible in which to deposit her eggs.
Except during the winter the en-
trance should be large enough to admit
of the bees passing in and out readily.
Combs that are new and bright are
not near so liable to become infested
with worms as those of dark color

st. PAul, MIMI, Feb. Z4th, 1886.
Olr little boy was afflicted with hip dis
ease, or bone ulcer, when he was about
three years old. He suffered severely for
year and nine months. We had seven
different doctors for him, but they could
not cure him. They took out one piece Of
bone about 81 inches long, the shape Of
shoe, and one smaller piece. The hole in
his hip was about 81 inches deep, and the
sore kept running all the time. The doc
tors ordered US to keep the hole filed with
cotton, saturated with some kind Of medi-
cine. This we did, and used a probe to in
sert the cotton. We could introduce the
probe about 81 inches; and found by NOV
ing the probe about that there was large
cavity next to the bone, and we could feel
the bone with the probe. The child was
very pale, thin and weak and could not
sleep, and we had no hope of his recovery
The treatment we gave him under the doc
tors directions did him no good. We final
" commenced using Aliens Uterine Salve
and it soundly and permanently cured him
in about six months. He has been we'll
about four years and is strong and quite
heshy, but limps little on account of one
leg being little shorter than the other.
He is a picture of health, and runs, scuf1es
and plays with other boys as though moth
ing had been the matter with him. We be-

The Hens Egg and Sex.

Periodically and frequently goes
around the report that eggs wrinkled
at the narrow ends produce cockerels,
says the Country World. To the stu
dent Of embryology this fallacy is at
once apparent. For the first few days
the chicken is sexual, and then to about
the seventh day it is distinctly hernia
phroGte and contains within itself the
element of both sexes. After this stage
1t verges in one direction, one set of
organs developing and the other dimin-
fishing, according as to whether the
germ is going to produce male or a
female. So that if the germ had iv-
ing conscience, it would not know at
the sixth day which sex it would ulti-
mately be. ....:

a WISE HERO.

No, declared the captain, Il positively
decline to lead my company up that hill"
Sir, exclaimed the colonel, do you
know that what "a, you are saying is rank in
Call it characterization or what you
will, the captain returned, "but I refuse
to CO.
The colonel was furious. The company
that he had detached for the purpose Of
storming the hill and capturing the fort
on top of it was the only one that could
be spared, and unless his plans as ar
ranged Were executed the whole cam
paign would fail. Not only that, but his
little army would in all probability be cut
of from the main body and wiped out of
existence.
It was q critical moment. The captain
could be court-martialed and shot for his
refusal to obey orders, but what of It?
Every man was needed. To court-martial
and shoot the obstinate captain would not
be to take the hill and the fort He was
at his command. -
What was to be done? The colonel
gnawed his mustache and thought hard. At
last he decided to appeal to the captain in
stead Of ordering him.
Think, man, think of the glory that
you Will win It you do this thing" he urged.
IL know all about that" the captain re-
'.sWell, for heavens sake, don't you want
to be a hero? Think of it! The entire ma
ton will applaud you'll
Il realize that, and am anxious to be-
come hero. but I positively refuse to do
it until you drive all those correspondents
back and keep them off the field. 1 pro-
pose, if 1 do this business, to retain the
sole: magazine rights on it. I'm not going
to do heroic thing and then let somebody
else get $500 page for writing it up!"
So the hill was taken, and the far-seeing

COTTON SEED HEALS.
Practical Feeders Di1er greatly II.
the Estimate Of Their value
n 4 stock Food.

Much has been said and written rela-
tive to the use of cotton seed meal az
cattle food. Nearly all Investigators
agree in giving it high value and urge
dairymen to use this material not cnly
because it is cheap source of protein
but because it also has q high manurial
value. Practical farmers differ greatly
in their estimates of cotton seed meal.
Some seem to use it very satisfactorily
for awhile and later conclude that the
feed is not well adapted for their pur-
poses. Occasionally a feeder observes
that the health of the animals is af-
fected by the feeding Of cotton seed too
freely, and it sometimes happens that
even after animals have been fed for
months with apparent success that they
are injured by its continued use. It
has also happened that cows fed upon
cotton seed meal do well for time and
that later the milk flow is diminished
without apparent cause. There are at
present no other concentrated feeding
stuffs which vary so much in compost
ton as cotton seed meals from different
sources and different mills. Within
three weeks the station has examined
samples varying from % per cent. to
over SO per cent of protein.
This greater variation in different
lots of cotton seed meal may explain
the different estimates of different
practical feeders and of the same feed
ers at different times. If a COW Is fed
a cotton seed meal containing Is per
cent. protein and is then fed an equal
weight of meal containing 50 per cent.
it is evident that the amount of pro.
tein which she receives will have been
doubled by the change. If she has been
fed up to her full capacity in the first
instance such an increase must result
disastrously. On the 'ther hand, chang
ing from cotton seed of high protein
content would diminish the milk fow
unless the amount of meal feed is cor

FATTENINGA FOWL BY MACHINERY.
The birds are not allowed to pick up
their food in the natural manner, but
have it pumped or crammed into their
crops by simple machine, consisting
of a large funnel, into which the food
is placed, falling into cylinder, from
which it is pumped by piston worked
by treadle through a flexible tube
some seven inches long direct into the
fowls crop. The birds are fed this way
twice day. The dexterity with which
hundreds of protesting birds are thus
fed is remarkable.

WOMAN'S ITCH FOR POWER.
ing in All Public Affairs and
Shooting Editors.

In France, as in China, politics are
largely Influenced by women. It is not
for nothing that the best known French
proverb consists of the simple words:
Cherchez la Femme! For there is no
public question in France in which a
number of ladies' more or less good
looling-may not be perceived to be
closely concerned.
To Arglo-Saxon ideas the thing is
passably ridiculous. Why, we say, can
rot president of the republic be elect
ed, an academician given a chair at the
Palais Mazarin, a new ministry formed.
CT new review started. without end
less imbroglios and counterplots, with
out yelled ladies. anonymous letters and
ducls galore?
The reason, of course, is that the
French woman is an am bilious person,
and. unlike her English sister, she is
quite unsentimental. What she Graves
is power. Hence the plunging of taper
feminine fingers into the political pie
across the seas.
So it is that woman of the world like
Nine. Paulmier, finding herself calum-
mated by Paris newspaper, went
straight to the Office the other day-to
sLoot the editor. It is true that in her
haste and excitement the outraged lady
shot the wrong man. A blameless sub
editor was borne away to the hospital
where, happily, he is recovering; and a
pretty crop Of duels is to be the sequel
to this very Gallo piece of feminine
bravado.
Of course Nine. Paulmier will be let
eff by a sympathetic French jury, and
possibly the shooting of editors in the
Vile Lumiere will become a new form
of autumnal sport:
Most persons certainly all liter
ary and journalistic persons-have
some editor at whom they would like
to have the satisfaction of taking aim.
He may have returned-with thanks
an article or a story. He may have re-
viewed book, or, worse still, ignored
it altogether. He may have put mas
terpiece in the waste paper basket. The
habits of all editors are inhuman and
anti-sociai, and countless worthy citi-
zens would like to spill their blood.
Let US hope that the example of Nine.
Paulmier will not spread to Fleet street
and the Strand, for if it does ladies who
may be armed with nothing more dead
" than sentimental stories will find it
a vast undertaking to penetrate into
the editorial sanctum, for they will be
suspected-not without reason-of a
desire to shoot at sight.

ion full OF thorns. What would he have

Systematic Care of Cows.

Some people seem to think that they
do quite enough for their cows if they
give them food and shelter; but besides
this they require to be kept very clean
~, though seldom INDUCED in that
luxury. The COW should be curried
daily, like the horse; its hide should be
freed from all impurities, and relieved
from everything that causes uneasi-
ness. When you see a cow rubbing
itself against post you may depend
on it that the animal is i'll kept, and re-
quires good scrubbing. Irritation of
the skin from impurities also causes
them to lick themselves, habit which
is injurious, for the hairs taken into
the stomach form compact, round
mass, which may destroy the animal.
If well curried, any danger from this
catastrophe is avoided, the health is
generally improved, and this improves
the quality of the milk, besides in
creasing the quantity.-Western Plow.

But knew loves toll and care;

A heavy weight to bear;

But knew the empty heart;
At hfe's rich banquet she had sat,

Sun Baths for Fowls.

It is not alone the cold weather in
winter, but even more the lack of sum
light Turing the short days, that re-
stricts egg production at this season.
Plenty of sunlight is as essential as
warmth to make the hens lively and
health:ul. But the single glass narrow
windows, often only single pane. and
that covered with dust and cobwebs at
all seasons, and with ice in winter do
little good. What are needed in all
henhouses are large windows with an
extra frame and glass with space of
ihclosed air large enough to fill most
of the south side Of the building. Keep
the place where the sunlight falls tree
from manure and fill this with SAINT or
coal ashes. Fowls will dust themselves
here, and basHng in the sunlight they
will soon begin to lay.

Feeding salt with Fodder.

It is difficult to feed cut cornfodder
SO as to have it all eaten, and the diff
Guilty is increased if there are nubbins
of corn in the cut fodder to scatter
grains through it. Cattle and horses
will nose this over to get the grains
of corn, and when the fodder has been
thus nosed over only the small, fine
pieces will be eaten. The better way
is to grind the nubbins, corn and cob
together, and apply this to the fodder
after it has been moistened by steam.
In this way most Of the cut fodder will
be eaten, and what is left can be made
more palatable by sprinkling more meal
on it and adding some salt. By feed
ing salt with unpalatable fodder great
deal of nutrition may be secured from
what would otherwise be wasted
