is not found in the estimate when
the advice is given to replace the
hens with early pullets. 1t is costly
to raise the layers every year. For
instance. let us suppose that it cost
one dollar to raise a chick from the
egg until it begins laying, to say
nothing of. the time lost. If the pull
let is kept for laying but one year
she monopolizes the entire sum of
one dollar, and must lay d dollars
worth of eggs before she can begin
to give profit over her first cost,
and she must also be supported
while she is doing so. If she is kept
two years the first cost of raising
her is fifty cents a year. If kept
four years her annual cost for tx
penses the first year (Oefore she be.
gan to lay) is twenty-five cents a
year. Hence the longer she is re-
tanned as IA layer, the smaller tt g
cost of the pullet. Then it must be
consid ere d that if one hundred pull
lets are needed to take their places,
he must provide room for two hun

hundred laye 1t is the cheaper
plan to retain the hens as long as pos
sible, for no matter how much more
valuable the pullet may be, you
must first raise your pullet.

CONCERNING HENS NESTS.

Great Care Should Be Exercised In
Keeping Them Clean.
It is wonder how it is that hens
will consent to deposit their eggs in
such filthy nests as are often seen
among the class who do not keep
fancy fowls. They may have been
drought up to it," and this may ac-
count for their apparent want of re-
finement; but the only excuse the
owner of the birds can have is, lazi-
ness. Filthy nests engender disease
or sickness, and the owner, from
these two causes alone, by not at
tending to them properly.
The nest for the laying hens
should be overhauled and renewed
two or three times during the sea-
son, the boxes being whitewashed
thoroughly as often as is necessary,
AID fresh material being abundant
ly supplied. The nests for setting
hens should be renewed every time
fresh hatch of eggs is set. By this
means you need have but little fear
of lice, the great pest of the poultry
breeder.
While fine hay, or fine, well bro
ken straw, makes good nests, a very
good nest can also be made with
shavings from wood. Select only
the thinest and softest, and make
the nest we'll with them. They can
be lightly sprinkled with diluted
carbolic acid, to keep away lice,
and, being very porous, will retain
the smell and effect of the acid much
longer than any other material.

While the use of orchards for a
grass crop is to be condemned on
general principles, the practice is
followed in some sections and doubt
less will be to the end of time.
When grass is grown it is much bet
ter to pasture it to sheep than to
cut it for dry feeding. If seeded to
orchard grass at the rate of two
bushels per acre, it will really sup
port six to ten sheep for pasture
during the season. Add to this a
ration Of wheat bran and the sheep
will be well fed during the season.
The advantage to the orchard by
sheep pasturing is the amount of
rich fertilizer added to the soil, be-
sides the cleaning up all of the fruit
that drops. The consumption of the
latter alone, breeding as it does in
furious worms, will pay for pastur-
ing sheep in the orchard.

A good farmer we once knew sur
prised his neighbors when he met
them at the village store and post
office one winter day. when the snow
blocked the roads, by informing them
that he had begun haying that day.
In other words, he had improved his
time by taking his moving machine
and hay rake apart, examining
every bolt and nut to see if they
were in order, and sending to the
dealer for all parts that he thought
needed replacing or would be likely
to give out if they were given hard
days work or two.
That day in January helped to
get his hay early and in good con
dition as much as he could have
done in a July day, and perhaps
more. for if he had not sent for his
parts until July he might haye lost
a week of good weather. The best
part of beginning any job is the get
ting "a real good ready" before the
start is made.
But every year we find many
farmers with no preparations made
ahead. They must take the busy
time to do what might have been
done six months earlier, or they be-
gin without proper preparation and
then lose time afterward, because of
the break. downs and hinderances
which they are sure always come in
the worst possible time.
1t is not in haying alone that one
needs to make his calculations and
preparations a long time ahead.
From the early spring blowing un-
til the last harvest of tho autumn
some men are obliged every year to
take time to get ready for work,
which they should have spent in
doing the work, if they had been
ready beforehand. My old friend
used to call that trying to make
themselves catch up with work after
they had allowed it to get long
way ahead of em.'-Miss Plough

One of the Boston daily papers
had a short paragraph lately about
a COW which John Milton, of Gar
diner, Me-, is obliged to milk three
times day, and which recently
gave in one day 34la quarts of milk
at three milkings. There are many
cows all over the country which
through this month at least need for
their comfort to be MIXED three
times per dav. Cows at pasture do
much better If left in the field at
night, or turned to pasture early in
the morning, both in June and July
at least. In the hottest weather
there is generally a lowering of tenn
perature at night, and the COW will
Craze then, and be ready to lie down
under an open shed in the pasture
lot through the day. She is really
making milk faster while chewing
her cud and digesting her food than
while on her feet grazing.
IL the twenty-four hours of the
day are divided into eight-hour Sec
tious, the middle of the day yield of
milk will be larger than any of the
others. But IL she be good cow,
one which turns most of her food to
milk, this three-times-a- day milk
ing will cause her to grow thin in
flesh unless she has a grain ration at
noon. A COW on June pasture milk
ed only twice a day, will not eat
grain. But IL she is MIXED three
times daily she will eat noon feed
ofgrain, and be all the better for it.
BY July the grain ration may
be lessened, aud some clover, partly
cured, may be substituted. So soon
as clover heads out Ii becomes very
rich in nutrition, and IL partly cured

The Scratching Pen,

On general principles we think it
is mistake to have the scratching
room under the floor of the pen, and
think the scratching shed next to
the pen offers very decided advant-
ages. Having the scratching room
beneath the pen lifts the latter up
into the air, making it much colder I;
then, too, the scratching basement
is lower, gets less sunshine, and is
apt to be damp. Some of the hens
are almost certain to lay there,
necessitating going in after the egg ,
and in cold weather crawling in two
or three tin es day to get them be-
fore they freeze. The scratching
room under the floor of the pen is
certainly better than no scratching
room at all. but the open front
scratching shed is much superior to
this plan.-Tennessee Farmer.

Men who have grown grey headed
trying to devise ways and means of
inducing'hens to lay and then COM
polling them to set, declare that
there is no way on earth of breaking
a dog of the habit of sucking eggs
when he once acquires it. An ex-
pertinent was recently tried on a
dog that had developed a taste for
raw eggs, and if he ever sucks
another he is worse than an idiot
dog. This dog always cleaned out a
nest when he started in on it, and
he always started in on it as soon as
he found one. 1t made no differ
ence whether it contained one egg
or a dozen. His owner blew an egg,
filled the shell with spirits of am
monia, placed it i'm nest known to
the dog, and awaited developments
When he crushed that egg he gasped
a time or two, fell down and writhed
for a moment, then got breath
enough to howl for ten minutes.
For a week the dog wasn't able to
eat anything but milk, and would
run at the sight of an egg shell.
