A Benefit to Chickens.

One thing 1 have noticed is that all
the chicks that have been kept in the
garden or on the lawn, during the
first six or seven weeks of their lives,
have invariably done we'll. They have
been healthy and strong and grew
rapidly, and when properly cared for,
after being removed, they have made
very fine birds. feed them regularly
three times day, tho same as all
others, but feed very lightly, just
enough to keep them growing. The
principal meal is always given in the
evening and the lightest in the morn
ing. One season 1 remember cabbage
worms were unusually abundant and
destructive, and almost all late cab
bages in this locality were destroyed.
I had about forty plants in the garden,
and L set coop containing hen and
twenty-three chicks, close by the row.
The little fellows kept the plants sc
clear Of worms that every one pro

Cut Feed For working Horses.

While the horse is kept during win.
ter mostly in the stable whole oats are
probably better feed for him than
meal. The hulls Of the oats, as the
farmers say, tickle his insides' and
increase the activity of his digestion.
Some oats may pass through undi.
gested, but unless the horse is old
aud has lost his teeth this loss may be
overlooked. Any way the fowls will
digest them. After eight years OF age
horses should be fed cut hay moist
ened, and with meal on it. But any
horse that is hard at work every day
should have his grain in meal on cul
hay. The meal is chewed with the
cut hay, just as the oats would be. II
IS well mixed with saliva when it enters
the horses small stomach and passes
into the intestines. SO it does the
greatest good possible,for the nutrition
it contains. All old farmers say that
horses will stand hard work better Oh
cut feed than on either whole grain oi
meal.

the general-purpose COW, that will
furnish good milk for those who like

coffee, and whose surplus cream will
supply, under proper care, butter nice
enough for table use or for sale, IL
there is more than is needed at home,
and that, when she has reached a good
old age, can be made into beef that is
wholesome and nutritious, il not as
tender and toothsome as The quickly
fattened baby beef Of some approved
breed, can scarcely go amiss If he gets
a good Jersey or Jersey grade OF
good breeding. We have seen and
owned such cows Of other breeds, but
we like the little Jersey because Of
her docility, her easy keeping, and
the ease with which her cream can bs

sandy loan. 1t should have gradual
slope to the south that the suns rays
may strike it more direct and also be
sheltered in measure from the coal
north winds. The first plowing should
be done in September OF the year pre-
vious, and to the greatest depth pos
sible, rs deep-tilled land suffers much
less from drouth. Stable manure

run north and south il the lay OF the
land will warrant 1t. Hills near to-

suns rays and give better opportun
