What 1t Proved.

A patient in an English insane asylum
imagined himself dead, and nothing
could drive the delusion out of his brain.
One day the physician had happy
thought and said to him, "Did you ever
see dead man bleed?" "No," he re-
piled. "Did you ever hear of a dead
man bleeding?" "No." "Well, if you
will permit me will try an experiment
with you and see if you bleed or not. :"
The patient gave his consent, the doctor
whipped out his scalpel and drew lit
tie blood. ''There" he said, "you see
that you bleed. That proves that you
are not dead. T" "Not at all, /" the pa
tent instantly replied. "That proves
that dead men can bleed ''-Exchange.

Color of the Shell

Where the fancy of the buyers is for
brown shelled egg, either the White
Wyandottes, Langshans or Rhode Island
Reds should fill the demand very we'll
if they do not prove too dark. Some of
them are a very dark brown, although
there will always be a difference be-
tween different strains, though each
may be thought as pure blooded as the
other, and also between different fowl
in the same lot, though they may be
own sisters. The Plymouth Rocks are
not SO dark, but usually average lit
tie darker than the Brahma, and we
think quite as heavy, though not look
ing so large.
Where the demand is as it is in New
York market, for a white shelled egg,
it will be found that the White Leg
horns are white enough and probably
as large as the eggs of larger breeds.
The Minorcas are also very white, but
such as we have seen were not large.
In this respect they do not seem to be
equal to the Black Spanish. We do not
consider that color of the shell is any
indication of the quality of the egg,
but where one is in the business for
profit in eggs, like many other things,
it is less trouble to produce what the
market calls for than to convince the
buyers that they want just what you
have to sell. Massachusetts Plough

Dry Soil For Henhouses.

No matter what kind of floor the
henhouse has it should have a covering
early in fall of dry loan, so as to re-
ceive and hold the excrement as it falls
from the birds on the roost 1t should
be deep enough so that with a garden
rake the excrement and soil may be
mixed together, thus keeping a clean
and sweet surface. In this way, as the
manure decomposes, all the ammonia is
absorbed by the soil, and very valua-
BILE manure is made. 1t is well, while
the weather is fine, to secure several
barrels of this dry dust so as to use sue
cessively during the winter. Ordinary
road dust is best, taking care not to get
stones with it, and selecting the dust
from much Travelled roads, where there
will be more or less horse excrement
mixed with it. Cared for thus, most
of the hen manure will be in spring a

BY adding potash and phosphate to this
mixture it will be made one of the
most effective fertilizers for any kind
of crop. 1t is an especially good manure
to drop in hills of corn or potatoes,

Cut clover and GLOVER Meal.

Two things have latterly come into
poultry keeping commercially that old
fanciers hardly recognized the worth
of-namely, clover meal, or cut clover,
and that chickens are carnivorous rath-
er than grain eaters; that they must
have meat if they are to make eggs.
Glover meal has been in the market only
a little while. but is being very general
ly used. For young chicks and for lay
ing hens it is generally accounted a
profitable part of the ration. Mixed
with the sand on the floor of the brood
ers is one way of using it. Another is
to soak it, make tea of it and then
thicken with meal until all of the mois-
ture is absorbed or, soaked in water
and squeezed dry, using the tea for mix
ing cake of meal baked several hours
in slow oven or, with those who do
not believe in the mixed food, the cake
and the like, the clover tea is given the
chicks for their drink.
Practice proves it that the percentage
of loss is less in yards when the chicks
are fed on the unlocked grain, on oat-
meal, the siftings of the table cornmeal,
cracked corn, wheat and the like from
the beginning. Philadelphia Ledger
