PouItry and the Farmer.

The hen is the best help on the farm,
and yet few farmers seem to realize
that fact. The old rule was to keep lot
of hens, all sizes, ages and conditions,
running together: The nests were here,
there and everywhere, and it took an
hour to thoroughly scour about for the
eggs, which seldom amounted to more
than dozen. The eggs, scarce as they
were, were taken to the country store
and traded off for goods The eggs were
bought by the merchant at the whole
sale quotation and the goods given in
pay were charged at the country store
retail price" 1t was one sided game,
and no wonder the 'tpesky hen never
paid" " But when the farmer has given
the poultry culture thought and study,
and has built comfortable houses and
big runs, and divided up his flock into
small families, he has bad revelation.
The hens not only soon proved that they
were profitable, but demonstrated the
fact that when given chance they
were veritable mortgage lifters. 7" More
than one enterprising farmer has had a
burden taken off his shoulders by the
aid of a harem of well kept hers. Many
farmer used to be, and many still are
sorely pressed during the winter for
money to buy groceries and such things
as they are unable to raise on the farm,
as they really have nothing to sell. 1t
was either question of going into debt
or going without it. 1t will not be many
years before every well regulated farm
will have substantial hennery attach
ed to it.-Poultry Farmer.

Agricultural Brevities.

The Geneva N. " station has pub
lished its report of analyses of CONNER
cial fertilizers for 1898, which contains
matter of much interest to farmers.
A Country Gentleman correspondent
differs from the opinion that "little
peaches" is disease. He has examined
many little peaches and found that not
one of the pits contained a kernel. He
concludes that owing to some unfavor-
able climatic condition the blossoms
! were not properly fertilized, and as there
was no seed to ripen there was no growth
/ to the peach.
The Ontario station claims that very
heavy manuring is wasteful and that q
common mistake made in applying ma
nure is to give small part of the farm
very heavy coating and leave the re-
mainder without any.
To keep seed corn keep it in a cold,
dry place-the colder it is the better.
1t is heat and moisture that spoil the
germ. 1t swells and shrinks back. I
have kept my seed corn for years in a
cool, dry cellar. 1t never fails, but grows
quicker and better than that that is
dried hard. The cellar is the only place
that could ever keep evergreen sweet
corn and have it all grow, says Farm,
Field and Fireside correspondent.

Breeding In Line.

The considerable talk about breeding
in line has stimulated interest in line
breeding, and we have not few in
quiries upon the subject, says Farm
Poultry, as, for example, letter from
a Pennsylvania reader, which asks
"Will you please tell me what is meant
by the expression, hired in liner" F." OBJ
viously the term means breeding from
closely related stock, stock Of the same
line of ancestry, as, for example, mat
ing cock with his daughter or cock
erel with his mother, and so on. This
is breeding strictly within the family
line. Some breeders practice breeding
from a male bird of high excellence as
to shape. color, plumage, etc., to two
females, each as nearly as possible
typical in shape and color and then
working along these two lines of de-
scent. Others would work from one sire
and dam, mating within the lines Of
their offspring for three or four genera
tions. then bringing in new blood by
outcrossing upon an unrelated dam Sc
lected for typical exeellenoies and as
nearly as possible perfect in shape COL

Angoras and Hog Cholera.

A group of breeders at the Omaha
show, informally discussing the live
stock interests, brought up the subject
of Angora goats in their relation to the
farm. All admitted that they are ex-
cellent for clearing land, keeping down
brush, etc. A novel theory advanced
was to the effect that where Angora
goats and swine run together in pasture
the hogs remain free from cholera, this
being observed as fact for long series
Of years, while hogs on adjoining farms
were afflicted with this dread disease.
The bit of experience was recognized as
possibly accidental, although something
worth further thought and observation.
Angora breeding has long been matter
Of some interest in our New England
hill towns.-New England Homestead.

DYNAMITE ON THE FARM.

A Quick wny to Clear Ground and
Prepare Holes For Planting Trees.
Those who for years farm land that is
thickly spotted with stumps and stones
certainly do not know the value Of
dynamite in clearing the ground Of
these distractions Dynamite is thought
by many to be very dangerous to handle,
but in the hands of one who is anyway
careful there is very little danger. The
writer has used it In many ways, such
as blasting stumps, stones, niger heads
and wells, using it under water, and
has never had an accident would not
hesitate to recommend any one to use it
il sober and careful. 1t can be purchased
at from 10 to 30 cents per pound, and a
half pound is sufficient to blast large
stump or stone.
In blowing out large stump, one
that is thoroughly rooted and fast, take
long auger that will make n inch
hole Bore we'll under the center Of
stump, take pound stick of dynamite
and cut in two in the middle, place a
cap on end of fuse and tighten with
nippers. make hole in the center of
stick of dynamite and place cap end Of
fuse in same end. Be sure to make fast
SO it will not slip out. Cut fuse SO it
will come out of hole about six or eight
inches above ground. With q broom
handle force the dynamite to the bottom
of hole4and tramp with fine dirt until
hole is full and solid. Then light the
fuse and step out Of the way sufficient
distance for safety and "let her CO."
Probably this will only split the
stump and blow the dirt out from under
it, and if another charge is needed re-
peat it, but in case the bottom dirt is
well blown out and stump split let it
alone until the stump dries through and
little oil and fire will fix it.
Blow out stone and niger heads
in the same manner. Should the stone
be too large to handle place small stick
Of dynamite on top and cover with dirt
and let her go, as the force Of the dyna-
mite is as strong down as up and will
split large Niger head to pieces.
find for making holes to set out fruit
trees on heavy clay ground that blow
ing out hole with dynamite is the
best way we can do it, as it thoroughly
opens the soil and gives the young roots
chance to take hold, writes j. l.. Van
Doren in The Farm, Field and Fireside.
On the other side of the subject,
writer in Rural New Yorker advises a
correspondent, if he must blast, that it
would be decidedly wiser, unless he can
get an expert dynamite man to do it, to
use high grade black blasting powder.
He thinks the only safe advice for those
unfamiliar with dynamite is to handle
it through the fingers Of another.
