Every farmer should be interested
in poultry, if for no other reason than
it saves and puts to good use every
year many dollars worth of grain
which would have been lost if the
hens had not cleaned it.
Study the egg basket and vary the
food for the hens until you find the
combination best for you, Cor the
eggs are the proof of your test. No
two tiOcks of hens require just the
same amount of food.
Just for the sake of ornament one
can not afford to keep surplus lot
of cocks about. All during the win
ter the hens should have been I'M
molested; neither from this time on
should male company be forced
upon them.
Turkeys earn their living by de-
strOying insects, no Matter how
much you have to feed them at
times. They are of the highest or
der of value among fowls, and should
be more generally used. Get pure
stock, and make sure of good or op
this spring.
Pure bred fowls are really no more
tender than the older common va
rieties; we bemban the loss Of our
purebreds more, that is all. They

likely be affected, as no lot of hogs
is likely to have cholera the second
time. Or sheep will be a quick re-
munerative class of animals to sub
stitute. Cattle are too slow, and bis
return would be good while COM
ing in.
Through the craze for racers, the
Morgan horse has become almost
extinct, so persistent was the desire
to cross them with the long gated
Hambletonians; but a remnent of
the pure blood has been saved, and
few orga nizations are yet de-
voted to the interests of the Morgan
horse. He is the best all round
horse we ever had in this country.
Were it not for relief from cleo
tricity, our city streets would now be
overcrowded with horses often. That
they have been relieved of the
drudgery of the street car is bless
ing to the horse and to humanity.
The attempt to fatten an old COW
on pasture is not often successful,
and the expense is greater. Put her
in the stable, soil her and push her
with grain, mixing it with chop feed
and oil cake.
If your cattle are coming out in
poor shape this spring, perhaps they
have been compelled to eat damag-
ed fodder all the winter. If they ate
it, it was because they had scant
feed of other kinds.
The time for the bee keeper to be
awake is when the bees are taking
their winter nap. If he has tools
and a little gumption, the farmer
can at least busy himself building
hives, and he should be able to do it
as well as any other man.
The honey extractor has put a
great deal of money into the pocket
of the bee keeper. Whether the
all saved, which is not the case in
raising comb honey. There are
many disappointments in seeking d
lot of first class honeycomb. The
process of extracting is simple, and
the small bee keeper can make a
success of it easily. Even where
but two or three hives are kept it
will pay to own an extractor, and
very probably there will be saved
twice its cost. There is hardly a
limit to the number of years a set of
combs may be used. A good colony
of bees in an average honey season
should give the owner from one to
two hundred pounds of extracted
honey. Though it sells at half the
price of comb honey, it costs less
than half as much; and it's cheap
ness brings a market for all our pro-
duct. In keeping it there is danger
from neither waste nor loss.
Some of the larger feeding estab-
lishments buy oil meal by the hun
dred tons, and this they would not
do If they did not see returns for
their outlay. If the use of it is
given a fair trial it will astonish you
and save you money. Farmers, as a
rule, have no adequate idea of it's
worth as factor in the feeding ra-
ton.
The successful feeder is the liber-
al feeder who feeds for immediate
results. Feed is wasted when stock
is but holding its own. No question
but that true economy lies in the
shortening of the fattening opera
tions. Early maturity means sue
cess every time.

are more apt to die because we
hamper them more, perhaps; but we
can not afford to fool with scrubs.
Stop feeding the fowls if bowel
diseases strike them, and let them
do little more hunting for the food
they get. Then drop little lime in
their drinking water, or little tine
ture of nuX vOmica will be good
addition; but by all means feed them
scantily for a few davs.
After cleansing and spraying the
chicken house cover the floor with
sifted hard coal ashes to the depth
of two inches. Every movement of
the inhabitants will fill the air and
every crack and crevice with the
dust, and lice will be hid some other
place. 1t will be a good thing to add
a little lime to the ashes.

Stock.

Most farmers, if asked, would say
that sheep were the most profitable
stock, and would give for reasons
they are freer from disease than
other animals; they cost less to
keep; and they afford two sources of
profit, while no other animal offers
more than one.
Ii a swine breeder has lost his hogs
from cholera he does not feel like
risking more on the same feeding
lots until there is no longer danger
from the germs; but il he can buy a
boar and few good sows from some
farm where cholera has been and
gone, the pigs he may raise will not

A correspondent Of Farm and Ere
Ri1e tells of the workings of the Grange
IN his neighborhood. The following
Extract may well be considered by
Alliances and other farmers clubs:
There is a Grange located in one OF
our counties that meets at the homes
ot its mem bers, each in turn, once a
month to discuss matters Of interest to
farmers. After the formal meeting,
which lasts about ninety minutes, the
members look over the premises and
ask @ lestions and cffer suggestions.
The owner knows three months before
hand that the society will be at his
place that day, and naturally he has
thtngs in the best shape for inspection.
The condition of his farm, buildings
and animals settles his standing as q
armer. IL he is q master Of his art
lIa surroundings unmistakRbly show

mat fact, and thereafter his talks and

others.

The New York Commercial Adver-
tiser says:
up to the present time the tiller Of
the soil has become in every country
except the United States either a serf
or a peasant. How the American
farmer is to maintain his economic in
dependence and superiority is prob
lem Of vital Importance. With an
abundance Of free land at his disposal,
he has until now been able TO raise
large crops at low cost; but this will
not suffice unless he learns also how
to market them at fair price and to
secure for them q fair share of the
profits. He is no longer an economic
unit, but his position depends upon his
knowledge of the conditions of the
market as well as upon his ability TO
raise crops; the modern farmer must
be at once agriculturist and business
man."
There's a world of sense in this lara
graph. You may think of it all w inter-
and not exhaust the subj act. Give it
your attention, for the problem de-
serves serious consideration.

The cheapest silos we have heard of
were reported at the June meeting Of
the N. o. State Dairymen's Associa
ton.
Mr.. Orr built stave silo Of 226 plank
with separate tongues 10 feet in diam
eter and 20 feet deep for sum not to
$50, but probably he omitted the cost
of iron rods for hoops. The excavation
foundation and other work Mr.. Orr
did himself.

In order to feed as many COWS as j.
