A Tln-Can Drinking Fountain,

A drinking can, or fountain, should
be so constructed as to prevent the
chicks from getting their bodies wet,
says Mirror and Farmer. Many de-
signs have been given, but one plan IS
to take tonoto can and set the
end that has been opened on a not
stove, until the solder around the top
Tor rather the end on the stove), De-
comes melted. then, with poker. or
something else, knock off the remain
ing top before it cools. There VIII
then be a good, smooth edge. NO"
make two hoes, about one-half inch IN
diameter. clcsa to this top edge. Iheh
take a pressed tin pan with bottom
a little larger over than the tomato
can. Fill the can full of water, ana
put the pan over this, bottom UP. Next,
with one hand on top and one hand on
the bottom, quickly turn the fountain
the other end up. This can be done
without splitting more than teaspoon
full. The sides of the pan should be
one and one-half inches high and not
more than one-half an inch more
across the bottom than the tomato can.
The fiaring sides Of the pan allow the
chickens and small ducks to get all
the water they should have. This would
also be good arrangement for pig
cons. Pressed tins are better than SOL
dered ones, as they are not so liable
to rust, and cost only four or hve
cents. To make the holes put stick
of wood in the can, then punch hole,
and ream it out with file until large
enough. 1t is amusing to observe
small ducks try to get into this dish,
as they can get but one foot in at a
time.

How to Keep Young.

Age sets in Indefinitely when the vi
tai forces begin to flag, and some men
are twenty vars younger, both ply
sicai)y and mentally, than other men
Of the same 5se. We may take it,
therefore. thai Old age does not begin
at any set AID fixed period, SO far as
the divisions of time divide the periods
of life, but it is Influenced by that sub
tie agent known as vital force Tie
indications of old age are clearly
shown; the weight of years is mani
tested by the bent figure, the want OF
elasticity in the walk, the wrinkles in
the cheeks and forehead. The typical
healthy person who attains to old age
is spare of body, and old age empha-
sizes this fact by causing paucity Of
adipose tissue. We notice that dimi-
mutton Of the physical energy is accom-
panied by corresponding diminution
of the power to eliminate waste ma
terial from the body. Elasticity and
strength give place to hardness and
brittleness of nearly all the tissues Of
the body. The general health may be
good because there is a harmonious
balance between the action Of the
nervous system and the circulatory
system. Persons who have reached
an advanced age may prolong their
declining years by diminishing the
quantity Of food ingested by taking
food more frequently and in smaller
amounts; by taking only easily digest
ed food, thereby avoiding too large a
| residue of waste matter

How to Distinguish Old Hens.

From an article by Mr.. Edward
Brown, F. L. S., a renowned author and
authority on poultry matters in Great
Britain, I condense the following:
Fowls should be killed off after they
have completed their second year.
Birds may be marked so as to be easily
distinguished by putting a ring on one
leg when they are pullets. The best
time is when pullets are from five to
six months old. A round india rubber
such as these used for umbrellas, or
a ring of .:;;:per or any soft flexible
metal, is suitable. The ring should
be put on to fit fairly close, but not
tigl-. enough to injure the leg. An ex-
animation should be made of every
fowl fortnight after the ring has been
put on. In order to distinguish be-
tween the fowls one and two years old,
it is good plan to put the rings on
the left legs only in one year, and the
rings on the right legs only next year.
and so on in the alternate years. II
the rings are put on the right legs in
1898, then all hens in the flock with
rings on the right legs will be ready
for killing in 1900. If the rings are put
on the left legs in the autumn Of 1899,
then those hens will be ready for kill
ing in the autumn of 1901. 1t is desir-
able that written record should be
made of the facts, as the memory is apt
to be faulty. The advantage to the
poultry keeper from marking the fowls
far more than compensates for the
trouble which is involved.-Report of
Com. Of Agriculture and Dairying,
Dominion of Canada.

Expanding Too Fast.

Farmers that are able to make
good thing out of a few chickens should
be careful not to be carried away by
their success. 1t sometimes happens
that a man that has been able to ac-
complish great things with a dozen
fowls thinks he can do the same with
500, and so expands his yards accord
ingly. The result too frequently proves
him to have been mistaken. Such a
man would do better to go slow. From
twelve fowls increase the number to
twenty-five and from twenty-five 10
fifty. This will enable him to watch
the progress Of events and be sure that
he does not get beyond his depth. The
problems that surround the keeping of
a small flock are entirely different from
those surrounding large flock.
Marketing Crops in Eggs.-He who
puts the finest product in the market,
says the Massachusetts Ploughman,
reaps the richest harvest. Eggs are
refined wheat, corn, grass, and they
contain much that on the farm would
20 to waste. In winter basket of fif
ty dozen will bring more money than
a load of hay it took a large patch of
land to grow, team to cut, horse
and man to rake, two men to stack,
and a team, wagon and man to market.
Sell fresh eggs or none at all. Get just
as far as possible from the general lot
dumped on the corner grocery. Seek
for regular customers, and get retail
prices. Stop crying about low rates
and cheap goods by rising above them
Herein is the gospel of successful poul-
try keeping.
Valuable Experimentation Of the
best steps taken at the state university
| for years has been the building up ot
| poultry houses and equipping of an ex-
tensive plant. Now let experiments
be made, not to determine the relative
value of breeds, but Of types and
foods. We are pleased to note that ex-
periments are to be carried forward to
determine individual production, and
then by selecting the hest layers and
breeding from them, ascertain how
much can be done in increasing the
powers OF the egg machine. This Is
helpful service and will be watched
with interest. In Prof. Gowell we have
the right man for this work, and the
Farmer wishes him success.-.Maiue
