Poultry Pointers.

Flocks of poultry are sometimes I'M
profitable because the laying hens are
compelled to support those that pro-
duce nothing. If the young pullets are
Matched early in the year and kept in
growing condition they should begin
laying by November. But 1t seems that
with many f1ocks only a few begin
laying SO early in the winter season.
This is due to not culling out the flock
and disposing of those that have NOT
made suitable growth with the others.
When Matching early pullets only, eggs
from selected hens should be used, so
as to improve the laying qualities of
the members Of the flock.

habit is very dangerous one. Only a
short time since fine horse In the sta

horses are permanently injured as a re-

there Is no way of curing them Of the

Science of Feeding.

In warm climate fruit is sufficient
to sustain life, but up in the Arctic
religions oil and fat are essential. In
the feeding Of live stock the tempera-
ture Of the atmosphere should always
be considered. Hundreds of farmers
feed the same ration the year round.
So much corn or oats is given whether
the stason is winter or summer. The
animals may eat all that is allowed, but
they become fat in summer and do not
gain In winter. During severely cold
weather large proportion of grain
should be given, especially of corn,
while the supply Of hay should not be
reduced.

OleomarRarine Sales.

Recent frequent convictions Of per-
sons In New York State found with
oleomargarine in their possession are
taken to indicate that traffic In that
commodity continues in the face Of the
laws Of the State Board of Agriculture.
Some idea Of the extent Of the oleo-
margarine trade may be gained from
the statistics just published at Wash
ington, which give the quantity made
and sold during the fiscal year ending
July 1, 80, 495, e2s pounds, an increase of
%, 1O6,eO1 pounds over the previous
year. This is in spite Of the fact that
the "ant-color" law exists in thirty
four States. 1t is on the point Of color
that the legality Of oleomargarine sale
hangs. In its natural state, that Of a
pearly white, there is no law against 1t.

Sheen ON the Farm.

Millions of dollars worth of material
is wasted every year on the farms Of
this country that might be saved by
using sheep during the summer
months. The large growth on pastures
and fields of weeds and other unsal-
able vegetation win provide an album
dance for sheep, as they will consume
many plants that the cows and other
stock reject. -.- - =

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIes, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. II
Is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make It the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing fgs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, BY q method
known to the CALIFORNIA Ere SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get ita beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

Southern Cotton Factories,

Commissioner Patten, of North Caro-
lima, told the Louisiana Sugar Planters
Association that the establishment of
cotton factories in his State was not
only advancing the price of cotton
there, as the home factories would pay
from one-fourth to one-half per cent.
more than English agents could afford
to pay for 1t to ship abroad, and giving
employment to laborers there, but 1t is
creating greater demand for other
farm products, chickens, eggs, butter,
vegetables and fruits, and thus leading
to a more diversified farming. They
have now from ITO to It's cotton fac
tories, and will probably spin the entire
product Of the State this year, about
100000 bales. They employ white Ia
Dor altogether as yet, but factory is
being built mostly by capital subscribed
by negroes, which is to employ a negro
manager and be run by negro labor.
Mr.. Culver, of Alabama, said many of
the cotton mile in his State were doub-
ling their capacity, and thus far Japan
has taken their entire product, but they
anticipate also a large trade In China
when they are ready to meet the de-
mand there.

Thin Seeding.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune writes that having been in
formed by one whom he knew to be a
good farmer that he had planted wheat
sixteen inches between the rows and
three inches apart in the rows, one
grain In place, and had harvested
eighty-four bushels to the acre, he
planted a small plot to wheat on Sept.
%, 1898. on hard clay soil that was
MANFRED In the spring and planted to
strawberries. The planting was six
inches apart in the row between the
strawberry rows. Two rows he planted
one grain to the hill; one row two grains
to the hill. He gave the wheat one
cultivation on April "a. The average
number Of heads to the hill in the rows
planted one grain to the hill was eight
cen large heads. The largest number
of heads to single grain was thirty,
which gave yield Of 2,O97 grains. The
row with the two grains to the hill gave
an average Of nineteen heads to the
hill. The greatest yield was thirty-six
heads to the hill, which gave yield Of
2,O35 grains-sixty-two less than the
one grain hill. The yield was at the
rate of 100 bushels to the acre, provid-
Ing the planting was twelve by six
inches. l planted a small plot to oats
on the same kind of soil to the hill, and
cultivated four times. The yield was at
the rate Of IT'S bushels to the acre, pro-
viding the planting was done twelve by
six inches. He has raised as many as
forty-dve large heads from single
grain, when planted six by six inches
apart one grain in a hill, and in 1897
he had two hills of rye, one of which
yielded 126 heads and the other 1877
heads, each grown from single grain.
The plants have more room for their
roots and are abundantly and constant
ly fed at such distances while in close
seeding they have periods of starvation.
