Eggs for Matching should be gathered
almost every hour during the day, says
a poultry writer in the Homestead.
When the egg is laid il is in its high
est state of freshness. If left in the
nest and one hen after another permit
ted TO sit upon it the heat will start in
cubation, and if it Is exposed to lower
temperature afterward. the germ is
killed and the egg decays. This is one
cause of so many spoiled eggs that is
not generally known or needed by poul-
trymen Ii the weather is cold they
should be gathered often TO prevent
them chilling. The cold may not be so
much as to actually freeze an egg, but
il may be cold enough TO chill it SO ii
will not hatch. An egg is not frozen
so as to crack the shell until the Their
memeter reaches 10 10 10 degrees.
which is a point lower than should be
reached in any poultry house. After the
eggs have been gathered they should
be kept at about a temperature of 60
degrees and never be subjected to any
lower temperature than about 80 for
safety.

have its best variety. The English
choose the Aylesbury, the French the
Rouen, but on this continent, having
no special national bird, we choose
that which makes the most money.
And by the general verdict OF those
who keep ducks for profit in large
quantities, the Pekin is the best of all
breeds for money-making. Experience
has shown that this duck makes ten to
twelve pounds the pair at the same
age at which the Rouen duck weighs
eight pounds to the pair, which under
the best management is when ten to
twelve weeks old, and with precisely
the same consumption of food. This
duck is sufficiently sIrong skinned to
dress without tearing, and has no dark
pinfeathers to blemish its appearance
at the market age as the Rouen has.
On every large duck farm where thou
sands are reared every year for mar
ket, the Pekin is universally the kind
kept.

Early Plants for the Garden.

Those who have an incubator brooder
may have green house on a small but
effective scale. Dig hole in the ground
large enough to admit the brooder in
some sunny sheltered spot, bank pit
on north side eighteen inches high and
have a tight wood or canvas cover for
use at night and stormy weather. The
brooder is placed in this pit and the
opening to the sun is closed. Three
inches of good garden soil is placed in
the brooder. The seeds are planted
in this soil and the proper temperature
maintained by means of the boiler
heated by lamp. A thermometer will
be used to test the heat One can raise
their early garden plants in this way
with but little expense and less labor
than the old-fashioned method of
planting seeds in boxes placed in the

Rearing Ducks for Market.

There are several kinds of ducks
reared for market, but 1t is the most
profitable one which should be chosen.
Fancy often stands in the way of this
matter of profit. The poultry keeper
is too apt to look at his fowls through
the spectacles of fancy, and if his
birds please his fancy, he has plenty
of excuses to make for defects. But
this is not business. and when it is the
money coming in which is left to tell
the story, the tale is quite different AS
regards ducks, especially, there IS a
great difference in the kind and breed.
Kind is distinguished from breed here
for the reason that there are many
kinds, good, bad, and Indifferent, and
shades between, of every breed; and
sometimes ii is true that a breed gains
or suffers through the management.
But figures won't lie, unless they are
forced to by too much pressure. And
honest figures prove distinctly that
there are ducks which surpass others
in relation to breed. Fancy goes long
way, and so each country seems to

HowELls FINDS FAME SWEET.

The most likable trait of Howells is

credit for them. The applause of the

your name on many tongues. 1t is re
ward enough
"Howells owns to this on every occa-
sion where an expression of opinion is
necessary and appropriate, and it.
makes far greater dignity in him. One
of the most characteristic of these ac-
acknowledgements occurs in some paper
by him in which he says: L came into

Cost of Fattening Cattle.

A fat steer of 1000 pounds weight is
said to have in it 500 pounds of water,
about twenty-five pounds of nitrogen,
eighteen pounds of phosphoric acid and
two pounds of potash. To buy this
nitrogen to return to the soil it would
cost about $3.50, and the phosphoric
acid would cost about 81. In selling
such an animal raised on the farm and
farm products about $3.50 worth of fer
tilizing material is taken. If bran, lin
seed meal or other grain is bought to
feed it, more than this would probably
be added to the farm, and it would be
growing richer, while if the hay and
grain it consumed had been sold off the
farm, it would have been robbed of
much more.-American Cultivator.

Poultry houses should not be located

green trees or to the north of buildings
that will shut off the supply of sun
shine in the winter time. Sunshine
should be present at all times of the
day; its saIutary effect will be remark
able. In the summer time the fowls
naturally get all the sunshine they
want without our help, but at this time
of year we must give them our help.
Sunshine will keep the air dry, and
will, TO some extent, neutralize the
