ABOUT BELGIAN HAREs.
breeding Of This Animal ms an Indus-
try Began, 1t IL Now Claimed,
Ten Years Ago.

In answer to number Of inquiries
in regard to the, Belgian hare, we
find, upon investigation, that the
breeding of this animal in this coun-
try as an industry began about ten
years ago. The breeders are natural
ly enthusiastic and possibly are too
optimistic in their view of the future
OF this constantly charging business.
1t is. claimed by them that no other
line of breeding offers anything like
the profits that the breeding of the
Belgian hare does. Both the meat
and the hide are valuable. The cost
OF producing the meat, it is claimed,
is not over five cents a pound at the
most, and we have been informed by
breeders in the vicinity Of Denver,
COL, that the meat in that market
sells from Is to rs cents a pound
The meat of young Belgian hare is
highly extolled by those who are ac-
quainted with it's quality, and all such
unite in saying that as toothsome
article of diet it cannot be excelled
by any meat that comes to our tables.
The hare is exceedingly prolific, the
doe sometimes producing 35 to so
young hares in the course of the
year, and does begin to breed at the
age of six months.
The food is that which is common
ly eaten by sheep, and should be a
variety which can readily be provid-
ed from oats, clover, roots, bread and
milk, etc. All the shelter that is
needed is an open shed that will
always be dry and must be clean.
Cleanliness in the hutch must be
maintained. Three by four or five
feet is large enough for hutch. The
nesting box, which must be provided
for each breeding doe, should be three
feet long and two feet in width and
height. A portion of the cage should
be covered with wire netting. Cover
the bottom with fine straw. A litter
is from six to dozen When about
two months old the young are weaned
and the sexes separated. The weight
of Belgian, if pure bred, at ma
turity is from eight to ten pounds

Proper Handling of Bees.

If you know how to handle bees you
can earn good pay overhauling the
apiaries of farmers who are too busy in
spring and fall to put their colonies in
shape for the season. Many swarms
are worthless now that might bring
good profits to the owner if cleaned up
and perhaps combined with another.
Wormy hives and hives with old brood
might as well be burned or thrown in
the sea as to be kept in their present
condition. Let a man get a reputation
for knowing how to handle bees and
being willing to do it for others, and he
would not find time to fill his orders.
He would soon carry large stock Of
bees and bee goods as well as honey to
sell, and should make it all turn in good
profits.-Midland Farmer.

drawled out. Mr.. Buggy don't need
no water, anyhow. Hain't got no

no reason why he should pay Mr.. Hen

There! There! That'n do says
Hadley. I give it up, squire. I can't

"'Oh, WE'LL I said. it's short work

the story as the old major dropped

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Keep one cock for ten to fifteen hens
Let the fowls fast few hours before
killing.
Hens lay best at the age of one to
two years.
Always give fowls plenty of fresh
pure water.
Sitting hens must have daily run to
insure them good health.
There is no danger of the poultry
business being overdone because the
demand is rapidly increasing.
If a scratching place is provided
where you can bury corn, your fowls
will receive much benefit from the ex.
ercise.

may shine on them all day. If this is

which will be injurious to the chicks.
This kind of disinfecting costs nothing

Every rooster not intended especially
for breeding should be killed or sold as
soon as large enough to eat. Not over
one good rooster should bekept on any
farm, and that one cooped and mated
with not to exceed ten hens, the eggs
from those hens to be kept expressly
for Matching. The other hens should
be kept especially for eggs for market
or table use, and no rooster should be
allowed among them. On the ordinary
farms about one-tenth of the fowls are

PRESERVING EGGS.
Formula Used by Spectators and
Dealers Engaged in the Business
ON a Large Scale.

Numerous methods of preserving
eggs are in use. The idea of all of them
is to keep air out of the eggs, as by
such absence of oxygen decay can be
arrested for considerable length of
time, especially if the eggs are perfect
ly fresh at the start and are kept in
cool, dark place. The standard meth
cd most used by spectators and deal
ers is to put eggs in lime water. The
process is as follows, this recipe having
been widely sold at five dollars under
pledge of secrecy: Take two gallons of
water, II pounds of unslaked lime and
four pounds of salt, or in that proper
ton according to the quantity of eggs
to be preserved. Stir several times
daily and then let stand until the liquid
has settled and is perfectly clear. Draw
or carefully dip off the clear liquid,
leaving the sediment at the bottom.
Take for the above amount of liquid
five ounces each of baking soda, cream
of tartar, saltpeter and borax and an
ounce of alum. Pulverize and mix these
and dissolve in one gallon of boiling
water and add to the mixture about 20
gallons of pure lime water. This will
about fill cider barrel. Put the eggs
in carefully so as not to crack any of
the shells, letting the water always
stand an inch above the eggs, which
can be done by placing barrel head a
little smaller upon them and weighing
it. This amount of liquid will preserve
$50 dozen of eggs. 1t is not necessary
to wait to get full barrel or smaller
package of eggs, but they can be put
in at any time that they can be OBJ
tanned fresh. The same liquid should
be used only once.-Michigan Trades
