Poultry.


1t will be money in your pocket to
kill off every hen over three years
old. Young blood leads the way
to profit with poultry as with all
other stock.
Every cold snap interferes with
the egg supply in winter. At such
times make the house little
warmer and SUMMER, and add to the
food little of that which is stimu-
lating.
The rays of the early morning sun
should strike into the poultry room,
and it is a mistake to place all the
windows on the south side. If it can
be done, have the long side of the
coop face the southeast. Otherwise,
put windows on both the south and
the east sides. No doubt about the
facts that egg production in winter
largely depends upon sunshine; a
hen loves it; watch her stretch her.
self in the sunny hooks. .... pr. -. .
1t is almost impossible to give
fowls too much concentrated. food
while they are growing, but after
they are matured all the excess OF
such food given them goes to make
fat or is not assimilated at all; in
either case it is wasted, for the hen
which is too fat will not lay, sum.
mer or winter. If the poultry of this
country was given from one half t.
three-fourths as much grain as they
now get, and the rest of their feed
was made up of roots, it would be
better for both owners and flocks.
A strong solution of lime and car
bolic acid should be applied
Throughout the hen house once Oh
twice every summer, at least; and
do rot forget the roosts and the
next boxes. This will kill both
foul odors and vermin. Have this
on your list of things to be done, al
one should do with, all such odd
jobs, which are so essential.

The Cost of War,

The Washington Post in the fol-
lowing gives the public an idea what
it costs to get war news: There is
a direct French cable to New York
from Mole st. Nicholas, Hayti, but
it costs fifty-Oue cents a word,
prepaid in gold, to file stuff. Out of
Kingston, when the wire is banked
forty eight hours ahead with press
matter there is a hole out by way
of the Panama cable through Cen
trail America. This luxury costs
$l.63 a word, but there have been
numerous messages of 500 words
each filed via this route in the
feverlsh effort to get the news into
home Office ahead of the other COM
petitors in the field.-Jackson News

in solution in rainy seasons, and are
easily washed from hillsides.
We should never be content with
an average. The average number of
bushels of corn an acre in the
United States is but SO, while under
special care and conditions, four and
even eight times as much have
been obtained nor was this from
the fertile corn lands of the West,
but in the Carolinas. The land is
ever willing to do its best. and the
result rests wholly with the man
who sows and reaps.
Never replant a field with corn
where there was smut last year
neither feed such corn so the stock,
as you thus return the seed spores
to the soil. Get rid of all faulty
grain, even if you have to burn it.
If there was scab on the crop of
potatoes from which your seed must
come, immerse the seed for an hour
or two in solution of corrosive
sublimate. An ounce of the drug
dissolved in quart of hot water,
will be of about the right strength.
A convenient way is to place the
tubers in a sack or basket and let
them down into the barrel. Re-
member that this solution is very
poisonous, and potatoes thus treated
must be kept rom the stock.

There is sound reason in giving
the horse chopped mixed feeds.
Not even the ruminant cow will
digest whole grain without wasting
a good deal of its nutriment. 1t is
worse with the horse, because he
does not bring up his food for re-
masticatiOn, as does the COW.
The tiuctuatlon in the prices of
horses is almost wholly with those
of low grade. There is a sense of
certainty that when breeding to a
good animal the progeny will sell
we'll four or five years hence.
Get no offsprings of an unsound
or tricky animal. Never act upon
the theory that a mare which is
good for nothing else is good for
breeding purposes.
One who Is not a plug farmer
should be ashamed of a plug team.
Let him raise his own horses and
do it to some purpose. He will be
silly to breed his large mares to
anything short of a thoroughbred
Horses of good class will do far
more work, and the rearing Of them
will cost no more than will that of
poor ones. Owners of good stations
are reporting larger business, and
this betokens healthy condition in
the horse breeding industry; and if
we will only bear in mind that good
horses are the kind wanted, we
shall never again have a large sur
plus on hand one year after another
with little to do but eating off their
heads. 1t is pretty heavy drain
on farmer to carry several head of
idle horses through long season
There is no way to figure profit out
of them. Sell them, and save the
figuring aud the oats.
