Why You Should Keep Hens.

A Western paper says:
!. Because you ought by their means
to convert a great deal of the waste
of the farm into money, in the shape
of eggs and chickens for market.
2. Because with intelligent manage
ment they ought to be all-year-revenue
producers, excepting, perhaps, about
W months, during moulting season.
3. Because poultry will yield you a
quicker return for his capital invested
than any of the other departments of
agriculture.
4. Because the from the
poultry house will make a valuable
compost for use in either vegetable gar
den or orchard. The birds themselves
II allowed to run in the orchard will
destroy many injurious insects.
b. Because While cereals and fruits
can only be successfully grown in GER
tain sections, poultry can be raised for
table use or to lay eggs, in all parts
of the country. So,
+. Because poultry raising is an en-
ployment in which. the farmers wife
and daughter can engage and leave him
free to attend to other departments.
Z. Because it will bring the best re-
turns, in the shape of new laid eggs
during the winte season-when the
farmer has most time on his hands.
8. Because to start poultry raising
on the farm requires little or no capt.
tai. Under any circumstances, with
proper management, poultry can be
made, with little cost, a valuble adjunc,
to the farm.

To those who intend to use ncuba-
tors for Matching ducklings, l wish to
give a few words of warning, says a
writer in An erican Stock Keeper.
There are only a few kinds of incu-
bators suitable for duck eggs. The
shell of the duck egg is SO porous that
any incubator with a current of air
passing through it is certain to use
up the moisture within the egg, SO es-
sential at the latter part of the hatch.
While it is necessary to have a little
air, too much is worse than none. An
incubator that maintains an even de-
gree of heat and has arrangements for
plenty of moisture at Matching is the
only kind to rely on. After the incu-
bator has run a few days and main
tains ar even degree of heat of 100
degrees at the bottom of the egg tray,

axes all night to warm them up. The

to make another test ON the eleventh
day, and remove all eggs that have be-
come added. On the sixth day you
can see the heart beat and the spread
ing of the veins through the egg. You
will find in some a clot of blood and a
circular vein, nearly the size of the
egg, have been formed. These are of
no account, and should be removed. /

foot square, placed in front of a Ian

impossible to keep down the animal

doors to cool down the eggs, for you
will her loose the moisture and make
the shell brittle, and the inside lining
Of the egg will become tough. While
spraying the egg is injurious. my ex-
perience and hat of Mr.. Rankin and
others shows that it comes nearest to
the correct plan, as a super6uous heat
is sure to destroy the hatch. Open one
door at a time, use a fine spray, and
close the door Immediately. In this
way no chill will strike the eggs. A
sudden change of a few degrees is
enough to kill them.

coarse for dray forage, but it is one OF
the very best forage plants because it
grows so rank and the stock will
thrive on it early in the season, but it
does not stand steady %pasturing. 1t is
a biennial, growing up one year, bloom
ing the next, and then dying. II it is
protected during the first seasons
growth, it will make an extraordinary
growth the second year. We have often
seen it knee-high by May 1, and ow-
ing to its precocious growth, it is well
liked in Canada, where the springs are
very backward. 1t is a very good fer
t%ilizer, as its roots sink straight into
the soil and reach to the depth of
eighteen inches or more. Its advant-
ages to the bee-keeper are very marked,
for it grows in barren soil and in waste
places, where it seems to thrive about
as well as in cultivated land. 1t has
been considered by many as a noxious
weed, owing to it's propagating with
out attention, but the facts are that it
does not annoy, because it is easily
kept down by pasturing, and it cannot
reproduce itself in cultivated fields,
since it takes two years to come to
seed. Sweet clover produces honey of
the very best quality, second to none,
an it has the quality of blooming dur
ing the summer after white clover has
stopped, and at a season when there Is
but little other bloom. Drouth does
not seem to injure it, and even where
it is pastured. it continues to throw GU
sid branches that bloom profusely.
