4 Site for the Poultry Farm,

The first thing to be considered in
starting poultry farm is the site.
This should be, if possible, on a nice
slope; if the ground is level it should
he drained. The question of soil is
an important one and should be con-
sidered. Some people think, "any
kind of land will do" There is lit
tie truth in this, but not the whole
truth. Grass land is the best, pro-
viding there is sufficient drainage, 50
that it will not remain damp after rain.
The best soils are gravel or sand; sand
is the best, and it keeps clean longer.
Sandy soil after every shower looks
clean, through the rain washing the
droppings into the sand. On clayey
or sticky soils the droppings remain
on the top and are damp for several
days after lain. With stiff, clayey
soil poultry culture is difficult task;
with sandy soil we are more likely to
be successful, for after fall of rain
all impurities are carried off and the
yard seldom becomes foul.
If the poultry breeder raises his
stock on stiff, clayey soil he will be
COulpellcu W ulS du't TURN ONeT u'S
yards every season; on the other hand,
sandy soils will not require to be
turned over so often. If the yards or
pens have good coating of grass and
the rainfall be fair most of the drop
pings will be used up by the grass
after the rain has dissolved it and
washed it down to the roots of the
grass.
AS to the amount of land needed, it
is just that area that can be taken care
of and no more. In beginning poul-
try farm it is always best to own the
land OF make arrangements for long
lease. 1t is mistake to rent farm
from month to month or quarter to
quarter, for no pc son cares to erect
buildings, pens, yards, etc., on the
land that he might be asked to leave
Just when he had got everything into
working order. - Fm n, Field and
Fireside.

AIlicators Fond of Babies.

Contrary to popular belief, no alli-
gator will attack man of his own
volition either in the water or out cf
it. 1t is, however, passionately fond
of pigs, dogs and babies, particularly
black babies. All the loss OF human
life from alligators in louisiana has
been confined to negro infants. The
saurian is sometimes trapped by tying
y aog to tree near the bank OF lake
ut night. The howls of the animal,
which knows very we'll the perilous
duty it is on, will bring an alligator
out of the water inside of an hour.
It is then surrounded by men witk
torches, peppered with muskets loaded
with buckshot and finally beaten to
death with clubs and axes. Not in.
frequently broken leg or two results
from the fail-like blows of its mighty
tail. A good many alligators are
killed in the latter part of February
when they are just breaking from the
mudbanks in which they have been
incased all the winter. At this time
they are stiff, not more than hall
awake, almost wholly blind and could

dairy farmer, should average about
one COW to every three acres. If one
has the necessary business to conduct
his farm economically, this portion OF
cows to the acre will be about right.
1t is possible to make as much profit
from butter selling today at twenty
five cents a pound as it was when it
sold for thirty-five and forty cents.
The reason for this is that we observe
different methods today, and get more
both from the cows and the soil. How
to do this, however, is problem that
each must face and solve.
The farm separator is essential for
future success in dairyisg. The sep
arator has passed beyond the expert
mental stage, and it has come to stay.
With good farm separator in use,
ten good average cows-not scrubs
should produce $3.50 in butter money,
taking the prices as they are today.
This would pay, whether the cows
were kept on an ordinary farm or dairy
farm.
On poor land the number of COWS
must be reduced. Never attempt to
raise more than the land will actually
support. It is better to begin on a
small scale and work up. Thus far
mer friend of the writer's took farm
of 160 acres, and started in dairying
with dozen cows-all the land would
support at the time and by judicious
methods he worked his herd up to
forty. That is the number of cows
he can feed off his former POOR farm.
He not only kept in view the question
of maintaining the standard of his
herd, but he had to improve his soil
year by year. Such thing is pos.
sible, and when it is accomplished it
deserves mentioning. There are
plenty who fail to hold their own in
this respect, and let both cows and
land degenerate year after year. The
products of the dairy should never be
raised and sold at the expense of the
land. Sooner or later the accounting
time must come. Am erican Guilt
vatOr.

The Average Dairy Herd.

1t is Enthusiastically true now that
the owner of small herd OF good
dairy COWS kept we'll in hand has
better chance of making a profit than
one who tries to manage large, I'M
wieldy number, none of which seem
TO come quite up to the standard. The
tendency is to return to the smaller
herds, and bring them up to paying
point. This is not always au easy
lesson to learn, for we always like to
count on numbers. But it is better
- reduce the numbe to the point
where proper attention can be be-
slowed upon each individual. Any
thing above this is waste of time and
labor, and misuse of invested cap
ital.
The average farmer should keep
from ten to twelve cows on every 100
acres; but farmer who devotes all of
his attention to dairying, and is strictly

HON e.,

All, home when all elsewhere ia dreary,
When we are most heartless and weary,
What place beside Is half so CHEEKY,
As home, eweet home!
There n'ccnt glee and childish prattle
Beguile the hours with noisy tattle.
Forgetful half Of life's rough battle,
We are at rest.
At night, when home from work returning
We see afar bright light burning,
In haste we seek the shortest turning
To home sweet home.
Where o'e1 the frugal board presiding,
In hope and faith and love abiding,
The mother hears from lips combining,
The days exploits.
And thus the moments so enhancing
Glide swift away, when some one CLAN cling
At the tall clock, sees near advancing
The midnight hour.
And while the bird of night Is brooding,
Oh, where beside, come dreams so soothing
AS now from out our brows are smoothing
The lines of care?
Fancy In dreams her flight Is winging.
In sweet low tunes Joy bells seem ringing,
A psalm of peace night winds are singing
At home, sweet home.

For Feeding the Soil.

There are only three ingredients of
plant food which have to be consid-
cred in feeding the soil. These are
phosphoric acid, potash and nitrogen.
The last-named can be furnished by
clover or peas, while the other two
can be purchased cheaply on the mar
ket in the form OF acid phosphate or
bone for phosphoric acid, and muriate
Of potash or sulphate of potash for
potash. These materials should be
applied directly to the land to be
sown to clover or peas, so as to in
sure heavier growth and thereby a
larger absorption of nitrogen. There
is nothing complicated in the matter
of fertilizing land. All that is needed
is careful observation and some little
study of the principles involved.

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
Decay and Preservation Of Fruit.


Professor Caldwell of Cornell uni
versity read an interesting paper upon
the decay and preservation of fruit be-
fore a recent meeting of the western
New York horticultural society. He
said in part as follows: The fungi
spores attacking green fruit are car
ried sometimes by flies and wasps
from an unsound specimen to those
perfect Carefully conducted expert
ments have shown that the fungus
does not cause ferment, but that it
makes a poison that causes breaking
down of the cells called rot. The
spraying of plums with bordeaux mix
ture has shown good results, but the
spraying of apples has so far been of
little use. The decayed fallen fruit
should, as remedial measure, be
picked up and destroyed, as also
should the mummy plums be picked
from the trees. A member reported
that the rotting Of grapes had with
him found a complete cure in the
spraying with carbonate OF copper.

Common Error in Growing Annuals.

The commonest error in growing
annu ais is to plant them in flower
beds. This mistake is frequently
made with other plants, but never SO
persistently and disastrously as with
phloxes, zinnias, marigolds and their
like. If a strictly geometrical scheme
is intended, or if the garden is one of
the old Italian style, with high wall
about it, then flower beds will fit the
place. But in the free and natural
dooryard gardening, the whole picture
is sadly distigured when it is cut full
of holes to receive strange, detached
punches OF unwilling flowers in varied
assortment. There they uncomfort-
ably stand about through the sum
mer, each bunch Of flowers jealous of
its neighbors, all appearing to be
afraid Of overstepping the circumscrib
ing bricks, stones or oyster shells
which hem them in, all chatting at the
restraint, and all wishing they were
safely away in the woods, where they
might Chamber down the banks or
revel in the grass the way flowers
were meant to do.

The EnrreifuI Professor.

A Cambridge p, ofessor, whose 6ts
of mental aberr alton were as frequent
as they were amusing, was one day
out in heavy rain, with his umbrella
held high over his head, when he met
a friend. who stopped him and ex-
claimed: "Dear me, Professor NJ, why
don't you put up your umbrella? You
will be drenched." 'Put up my
umbrella" said the professor; sit is

For half an hour, more or less, the
professor had been walking the streets
with closed umbrella saised high
above his head.
