POULTRY DISEASES.
They Are More Easily Exterminated
Than the Diseases Affecting
Other Kinds of Stock,

1t is probably easier to exterminate
poultry diseases than the diseases that
affect any other kind of stock. This
is because poultry can be kept iso.
lated. Horses are constantly meeting
and coming into the vicinity of other
horses. Cattle run in adjoining pas
lures. Hogs are transported from
place to place and are great roamers
in their. pastures. But fowls may be
kept practically isolated. It is even
not common for hens on one farm to
mingle with those ofthe next.
We believe that with proper man.
agement the poultry diseases may be
practically exterminated. Have the
feed right and then keep all things
scrupulously clean Let in the sun
and keep the dust box full of good
dust. Give fresh water every day.
These will mean that the hens will be
flee from disease. Were these things
observed universally there is no doubt
that some, if not all, of our contagious
diseases among poultry must soon die
out. Where flock has certain dis
ease the fowls could be allowed to die
OF be killed and the place where they
had been kept used for keeping fowls
no more for at least year. 1t is our
observation that there are many focks
where disease is practically unknown.
A good many. poultrymen know moth
ing of the cholera except what they
read in the papers. Clean up and ex-
terminate the diseases.-Farmers'R Re.

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

GRADUATED sugar will crystalline if
not thoroughly melted
Hives should be painted as often at
least as every two years.
The best packing for chaff hives is a
good quality of wheat chaff.
Bees cannot be fed sirups of any kind
after cold weather sets in.
Roofs of hives of whatever kind
should be painted every fall.
In making comb honey the main de.
pendence is on the first swarms.
Generally a natural swarm is ready
for business as soon as it is hived.
Agood and convenient lighting place
should be provided for every swarm.
Thorough ripening is of more impor-
lance to honey than the color of it.
Some absorbing material should al
ways be used over the bees in winter.
Honey is not perishable article.
Do not be in too great a hurry &c sell.
Every colony of bees which does not
contain a~fertile queen is in danger Of
being robbed.
Arrange the bees in good season in
the fall so that during the winter there
will be no occasion for disturbing
them.
When once graduated it will remain
in this condition, so that to thoroughly
melt it it must be heated almost to
boiling. ..
1t is mistake to close the entrance

HOW 10 DRESS FOWLS.
Carelessness In This Respect Causes
ConsiderabIe LossSto Growers
and Shippers. ~

A well-dressed fowl will of course
command higher price than poor
ly-dressed one, and it is evident there
must be quite loss to the growers and
shippers of poultry on. this account;
and It might not comesam iss to give .
few hints on dressing fowls properly,
as there does not seem to be any need
of dressing them poorly. First ofall,
crops of all fowls to be killed for mar
ket should be entirely empty. Asmis-
take is generally. made by not hang
ing the fowl up while stripping off
the feathers, but holding it with one
hand and picking: it with the other.
One can work rapidly when the bird
is hanging, as, both hands: are then at
liberty; the cuticle, transparent out
side covering Of the fowl, is very easily
injured, particularly of a scalded bird,
and when the bird is held while pick
ing it this membrane is often rubbed
off in spots; and although this injury
does not seem to show much at first
afterwards these spots turn dark. Civ.

THE HORSES H00FS.
II You Want Healthy Animals Keep
Their Feet Rasped OF and
Level as Possible.

Have you good rasp for the feet of
the colts? The old saying ''no foot,
no horse" is not only true one, but
should teach the farmer to take the
best of care of the feet of all colts.
says a writer in Australasian. The
toe often gets too long, unbalances
the foot, and then come splints, spav-
ms and every other disease to which
the feet and legs are heir. See that
the foot is kept rasped off and Level.
Do not use knife if it can be helped,
as the first blacksmith that shoes the
colt will cut away enough to last a
lifetime. In no part of the horses
anatomy has he suffered so many
wrongs or endured so much unneces-
sary suffering as in his feet. If there
is the least excuse every blacksmith
will use knife. Try to let the colts
grow up with such good strong feet
that there will be no excuse for cut
ting them. Use the rasp on the under
side of the toe; and under no circum-
stances put the rasp on the outside of
the foot. The entire hoof, from the
coronet to the sole, is covered by 4
fine coating of natural varnlsh be-
ginning at the upper margin or coro-
net and gradually becoming thinner
as it descends. Under cover of this
varnish the new horn is secreted and
protected until it attains it's maturity.
The moisture necessary by the anima al
economy to the perfection of the horn
is retained within it, and the influ-
ences of wet and dry are set at def
ance. It is easy to see that this most
important covering should not be in
terfered with, and the foot should be
kept level and III good shape from the
underside.

Wasted Corn in Harvestinr.

It may seem one OF. the simplest OF
all farm operations to cut and put
standing corn in stock. Yet in every
field where five or six men are work.
ing together in cutting, close observ.
er will note that some rows of stocks
show the corn cut low down, with very
little breaking off: of ears, and even
the suckers well cleaned up around the
hills, while other rows of stocks will
show the reverse of these conditions.
1t. is, therefore, really skilled labor
that the expert i'll corn cutting shows,
and we believeGtha the expertiin this
case, as in every other, is entitled to
larger compensation for the skill with
which the work has been done. =,

Stack IL an Inexpensive Device
for Protection. 81 .

To keep stock warm and dry in cold
weather is no less matter of economy
than to keep them well fed. When
properly sheltered they require less
food. Shelter is less expensive than
food. All farmers and stock raisers do
not have stables for their cattle or
snug sheds for their sheep. Sheds of
poles with roofs of straw are exclu-
sively used, and with profit. An arch
way shelter under or through straw
stack is an inexpensive and valuable de-
vice for protection. The skeleton
frame of such a one is given in Figure
