FOR THE FARMER,
Poultry Notes.

To fatten a fowl in a week, feed
it all the soaked corn it will eat,
with just little of green garden
truck to keep up the appetite.
Then kill, cook and eat.
Hens enjoy getting onto pile
of barnyard rubbish and manure
of Winter day to scratch, and if
it is not too cold it is good thing
to allow them this privilege unless
you have provided so that they
can have all the indoor scratching
they wish.
If you have failed to provide
large windows in your henhouse
to admit the sunshine and wish to
let your hens out on the sunny
side for a few hours during the
warmest part of the day, be sure
and sweep the snow away we'll
before letting them out.
The more comfort the less feed
is required. This applies to all
live stock as we'll as fowls. All
the food that can be given will
not cause hens to lay in Winter, if
they must rustic mid snow and
ice for exercise and roost in the
embrace of the bleak north wind
Cabbage leaves or inferior cab
bage make an excellent green
stuff for fowls in Winter. Beets
and turnips are a fair substitute
for cabbage, and chopped alfalfa
hay dampened with warm water
will answer. Hens will eat the
hay from the stalk if allowed
access to it.
There are few things better
calculated to promote health OF
fowls and induce them to lay than
fresh green bone meal, and since
that can not be had in the market,
every farmer should have a bone
mill and grind supply for his
fowls at home. 1t is easy enough
to gather up the bones.
If your hens do not lay you can
by examining the conditions gen.
orally tell the reason why. 1t is
the natural thing for hen to be-

give them the full season for grow
ing. Sandy soil that is deeply
plowed is suitable. AS grass and
weeds are liable to choke them
out at first, the early preparation
of the ground will permit the
weeds and grass to start, which
may be destroyed by using the
cultivator or weeder before the
root crops are seeded.
Green peas can be planted
early and successive crops may be
grown. For an early supply use
the dwarf varieties, as they need
no supports, but they do not at
ford but one or two pickings. For
the later crops the tall kinds
should be used, and they will give
better results if supported with
sticks or wire. Make the ground
deep and fine, and use manure
literally if good crops are expect
ed.
A good COW should produce at
least one pound of butter per day.
This is not an extraordinary per
fcrmance for an individual, but it
can be claimed as a good record
when all the animals in herd
come up to such requirements.
The fact that not one herd in a
hundred can be found that pro-
duces so largely does not destroy
the possibility of securing such
COWS, as it is a matter of breeding
and judicious selection.
To make the early lambs grow
provide pen into which the
lambs can go, but which restraints
the ewes from entering. In the
pen place pan of ground oats
and let the lambs help themselves.
The ewes should be we'll fed on
ground oats and full supply of
clover hay also, in order to provide
plenty of milk. The ground oats
should be considered only as an
additional supply to the milk, as
milk will give better results than
any other food
1t takes time to improve farm
and get it to high condition of
fertility, but the effect will be last
ing. When the land is rich the
farmer then has storehouse of
plant food upon which he can
draw for the use of future crops.
There is no safer bank than the
soil when it has been improved.
When warm weather begins
the supply of eggs will increase.
The corn should then be decreas-
ed and larger supply of meat or
animal meal allowed, or the hens
will become excessively fat and
fail to give their full quota of eggs.
Corn is the best food during the
cold season, because it creates ami
NAL heat and serves as a protection
against severe cold, but corn is
very unsuitable during warm
weather. Grass is also excellent
for fowls, and they should, there
fore, be given free range as soon
as conditions permit.
Growing Cucumbers.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1900-04-28
Growing Cucumbers.

Take sugar or lime barrels (you
can get them for the asking) with
out heads Saw them in two, set
in rows about II feet each way
Drive a stake in the center of the
barrel to keep storms from blowing
over, and then fill with manure.
Plant four hills around each barrel
and when ready to run make a
trellis for each hill, about feet
long, composed of two pieces with
Stats, one end resting on the top OF
barrel. The vines with little train
ing will cover trelis and barrel and
by leaving driveway in every
third row for a small sled you can
water the vines by pouring water
in the barrel and feed vines. With
this method your cucumbers will
not be crooked and you will be
beautifully repaid for your extra
labor. This method is much better
than burying barrels IS inches, be-
cause the plant food is available.

In almost every neighborhood
there is some one whose life has been
saved by Chamberlain Collie, Chol-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy, or who
has been cured of chronic diarrhoea
by the use of that medicine. Such
persons make point of telling of it
whenever opportunity offers, hoping
that 1t may be the means of saving
other lives. For sale by T. J. Flaws.

lady pianist is wonder. con S'dering
that she had to manipulate the worries
on the worst old tin pan in existence
and really produced good music.
There was only one mistake during
the entire performance. A number OF
bows lifted that old cracker box known
as the Opera House piano onto the
stage, and in so doing nearly dropped
it to the aoor-that was the mistake

every string in it into bunch OF wire

one consolation and that was that sew

old tin can were present and stood the

They are 8-inch wells, one 142 feet
deep and the other only 137, 20
feet apart, and both tap the same
flowing stream below, for they
each overflow 8 feet. Without
pumping they would probably wa
ter 40 acres, and by pumping will,
no doubt, furnish enough water
for $50 acres. A centrifugal pump
is being attached. Messrs. Barber

up to within 8 feet of the surface.
