Barnyard manure on the orchard
land at this season will pay. The
manure should be used literally and
not spread sparingly, under the be-
lief that a small quantity will do
for an orchard. A large wagon load
distributed evenly on the ground
under each tree would not be too
much. If fertilizer is used apply
about 800 pounds of phosphate rock
per acre in the Fall and 100 pounds
each of muriate Of potash and
nitrate of soda in the Spring.

There is no breed of fowls that
come to perfection in so short a
time as the Houdans.
1t is a good plan to take away
all the roosters when the eggs are
not wanted for Matching.
Linseed meal is excellent as an
egg producing food, but should not
be supplied with other food.
Too much food means loss, first,
of wasted grain; second, of health
OF the fowls, and, third, in less eggs.
For diarrhoea in chickens, give
boiled milk, in which has been stir
red while boiling some chalk and
bone dust.
In yards where fowls have no run
and where the soil is compact, a
failure to provide gravel will cause
indigestion.
II there is board floor, much
labor may be saved in keeping clean
by using sand sprinkled literally
over the floor.
For the next six months the hens
will lay few eggs, while they must
be fed regularly. Sell all not need
ed for breeders.
When the chicks droop and ap-
pear sick without cause, look out
for the large, gray body lice on the
breast and neck.
After a fowl reaches a certain
stage of growth the increase in
weight is slow and the expense of
feed much higher
A heavy clay soil is always damp,
and unless care is taken will favor
roup, while a sandy soil, being dry,
will promote warmth.
A small box of charcoal, kept
where the hens can have access to
| it, will serve to arrest disorders OF
the bowels from overlooking.
No poultry house can be kept
free from lice as long as the nests
remain in a position that prevents
their being thoroughly cleaned.

Nhtftiess Farming

Now that frost has come it will be
noticed that the corn is yet stand
ing in some fields, not having been
cut at the proper time. Such corn
is a dead loss to the farmer, 80 far
as the fodder is concerned. and re
duces the profit of the crop. 1t is
such farmers who abandon their
farms because farming don't pay"
and they 60 into debt or mortgage
their farms because they do not
know how to manage their business.

should be the case. In Winter, If
the yard contains absorbents, they
become soaked during rains and are
disagreeable locations for adults or
pigs. The pig prefers a dry loca-
ton, as it suffers severely on very
cold days. The materials in the pig
yards will be of more service if add
ed to the manure heap and a plenti-
full supply of cut straw thrown into
the yard in it's place. The covered
shed, or sleeping quarters, should
be Uttered a foot deep with cut
straw, which may then be thrown
into the yard, but the yard should
always be cleaned out after a rain
and dry material then added.

reliable than taking a census, and
comparisons could be made yearly
instead of once in ten wears.


AS soon as the working season is
over the farmer begins to economic
in the keeping of his stock over
Winter. The plan answers well for
idle horses, but to attempt to keep
a cow on as little food as possible
is t. entail loss. Steers, hogs and
sheep should be fed in Winter as
literally as are the cows. The Win
ter is the season when the farmer
can bestow his attention on his ami
mails, and he should endeavor to
keep them growing and increasing
in weight until they are ready for
market without regard to the sea-
son of the year. There is no more
reason for keeping an animal at a
standstill in Winter than in Sum-
mer. Time and labor will be wasted
when the stock is fed simply to keep
the individuals over Winter.

Bedding for stock.

Do not utilize straw by drying it
to be used over again, but pass all
bedding material through the feed
cutter, so as to render it more SER
viceable in the manure heap. The
cost of cutting the material is an
item, but absorption of the liquids
in the heap will be more complete
and the gain in the value of the
manure will be large. AS the ma
nure will then always be fine and
easily handled it can be forked over
with but little labor SO as to more
thoroughly decompose all portions.
Coarse litter will absorb liquids, but
there will be loss until such ma
terials become fine in the heap. The
fine litter will also make excellent
bedding and will more readily as

Poultry Insect KILLERS.

The lard and sulphur mixture
has to be used on young chicks with
discretion. Insect powder, especial
ly buhach, is far safer and will sure
ly kill every louise with which it
comes in contact. Tobacco dust
freely scattered through the feath-
ers of the old bird, as for instance
when sitting, and few days before
the eggs are expected to hatch, will
clear the lice out in hurry. Some.
times l use tobacco dust in place of
the insect powder. If applied free
ly, it will also kill these lice. For
chicken mites, use the clear kero-
sene, soaking perches, nests and
cracks and crevices very thorough
ly, and it is sure cure every time.

When the next census is taken it

FOR THE FARMER,
Among the Poultry.

Give the hens space to exercise
and scratch.
1t is not advisable to breed male
more than two seasons.
Fowls which are not closely re-
lated are the best breeders.
Early and late feeding is good
plan to follow from this on.
Cooked food fattens more readily
because it is easier digested.
Breed out the long-boned fowls
and breed in the short legs.
Dry-picked fowls look nicer and
usually bring more when sold.
Reduce the Winter stock ofpoul-
try as much as possible to layers.
Fowls with small combs and
plenty of feathers endure cold best.
Leghorns are the most prolific
layers, but they lay the smallest
eggs.
Do not feed fowls for at least
twenty-four hours before killing
them.
Do not stimulate egg production
by the use of stimulating condi-
ments.
Ducks can be ready for market
in eight weeks after Matching, if they
are fed we'll.
When the comb is white, or pale
or very black, something is wrong
with the fowl
In selecting the breed be COVER
ened by your market and what you
propose to do.
The roosting places require three
things, cleanliness, ventilation and
good drainage.
Even if you keep common hens
use a pure-blooded rooster with
them in breeding.
1t is easiest to dry-pick fowls
when bleeding, and very difficult
after they are cold.
II is the pampering that pure
bred fowls get that causes lack o
eggs and infertility.
One advantage with the incuba
tors is that the Matching can be com
menced at any time. .a,s..
