Matching, they are contented with

In this way some strains OF pure
bred fowl may have been so kept and
managed that they produce a less
number OF eggs III year than thew
would under better conditions, and as
the chickens inherit the propensities
OF the parent aud the grand parents
they deteriorate in productiveness, as
much as herd of dairy cattle would
If kept in such way that they were

But because certain strains under
this management do not produce many
eggs, 1t does not disprove the state.
ment with which we began. Place
the pure-bred hens and chickens un.
der the care of good feeder. and in
three generations they can be made to
produce more eggs than can be pro.
duced by any cross bred or scrub bred
fowl. BY selection of eggs from the
best layers among them, this can be
brought about, and the poultry keeper
who expects to grow chickens next
spring should begin this winter to
feed his hens for egg production, and
should watch them to see which to
save eggs from for Matching. We
have never attained the twenty dozen
a year mark, and never expect to, for
we cannot devote our time to tue
poultry yard, but we believe it TO be
possible and desirable and think il
possible without losing any OF tho
fancy points called for by the poultry
standard, though it might take long.
er time if We tried to combine tho
fancy points and the egg production at
the same time than it would be if we
only selected the best layers without
regard to the markings, as it would
limit our naE- ~ to select from.

TrsnmcnI Milking.

1t has been we'll established by

Hoard'g Daiyman. Those who have
made tests OF cows for purposes of

day instead Of twice.
The physiological laws, which in
huencc and govern the flow OF milk,
should meet with much more study
by cow owners than is done. We are

our success with the cow can be

The farmer should decide upon the
fields he intends to cultivate nextsen-
son long before the time comes for
putting the seed in the ground, and
should try to decide what crops he
will put upon them. In making his
decision, he should consider not only
the adaptation of the soil to the CROP.
but how the work upon the various
crops can be so planned that be will
not have too many irons in the fire.
We know something about it, for we
have been there and have had to pillow
up fair-looking crop while growing,
because it was so weedy as not to be
worth hOeing, as we had been busy
on another field. But the best plans
may be changed sometimes when one
has to do with anything so tickle as
the New England weather. Even in
sects may force n change, as we were
once forced to change an onion bed
into squash field, because the oulon
maggot had appeared in such num-
bers that we saw the crop would be q
failure. We admire perseverance.
but there is such thing as being too
obstinate, and striving against the in
cvitable. Give up when fairly beaten,
and try to retrieve fortune in some
other way. American Cultivator.
