Farm and Garden Notes.

Never allow fowls to drink stagnant
water.
The laying hen is always the work
ing hen.
Table scraps should be fed the fowls
while fresh.
For fattening fowls cooked food is
better than raw.
Milk in all its forms is valuable
food for poultry.
Soft-shelled eggs are often the re
suit of overfeeding.
Ducks and geese should be well
feathered before killing.
A cross of large hen with Hou-
dan usually prodaces good broilers.
The favorite food in Scotland, where
horses are at only moderate work, is
cut sheaf oats.
Grapes can be pruned any time dur
ing winter. If the wood is wanted for
propagation, it should be cut just be-
fore the severe frosts arrive.
BY keeping oak trees of uniform
temperature throughout the year, a
French experimenter succeeded in in
creasing the production of new leaves
before the old ones were shed.
Very often it will not pay to doctor
fowls suffering with contagious dis
ease. Indeed it is probable that it
very rarely pays. One would better
kill at once all that contract such dis
ease and burn the carcasses.
The English want cheese with o
mild favor, slightly salty and rich in
butter fat. Foreigners as rule do
not like strong cheese. 1t must not
be dried hard. Curing rooms in
Scotland are kept at 60 to G1 degrees.
While oats make a good feed for
growing stock and for the laying hens,
they do not have the elements that
promote animal heat. Some corr is
needed for this purpose, and it shonld
be fed to the flock late in the even
ing.

Nursery Table Covers.

Get blue and white washable cover
for the nursery table; one yard and
a half square costs little more than
dollar. They are pretty and durable,
and some things may be spilled upon
them without running them. The blue

expensive, particularly when they are
embroidered in white, but their wear

marketed at the dates mentioned they

Feeding HOgs.

We did not think pumpkins as valu-
able for feeding to hogs us we did to
cattle, but when they were plenty the
hogs had some every day, for we could
not keep them late in the winter. We
never cooked them unless to throw In
II few when boiling small potatoes or
other roots for the hogs, as wethought
them too watery when boiled, and
they seemed to be relished better
when given raw. We notice in a bull
letin sent out by the Oregon expert
ment station, that they tested pump
kins for hogs weighing 140 tc 200
pounds each, for four periods of IA
days each. The pumpkins were cooked
with shorts. For the first two weeks
it took To- As pounds of pumpkins and
2.12 pounds of shorts to make a pound
Of gain. The next two weeks it took
l4.95 pounds of pumpkins and 1.3
pounds of shorts. In the third period
l4.3J pounds of the pumpkins and ]. 70
pounds shorts, and for the last two
weeks IA. 46 pounds of pumpkins and
2.54 pounds OF shorts. The average
gain for each hog during the whole
time was about 1-2 pounds per day,
and counting pumpkins at 50. 80 ton,
and shorts at $12, the cost per pound
of gain was q cents. This may have
been cheap enough, but we think it
could have been made cheaper upon
raw pumpkins, and by using a little
more shorts, or perhaps mixture of
equal parts of cornmeal and shorts.
After hog weighs 200 pounds alive
we are not afraid to give him as much
cornmeal as he will eat until we get
him fat enough to kill. They tried to
increase the amount of pumpkin and
reduce the amount of shorts, but the
pigs objected, and, us will be seen
above, they had to increase the pro-
portion of shorts. We never tested
pumpkins for sheep feeding. but have
no doubt they would work excellently
well. We never removed the seeds
when feeding them, and never saw
that they were doing any injury to
either cattle or hogs.

Fertilizer for Oats,

Oats, like corn, require a highly nj
trogenous manure, and must be sup
piled either in the natural fertility of
manures or commercial fertilizers.
Every farmer is, of course, the best
Judge as to the natural fertility of his
different fields, as proven in the grow
ing OF past crops, and also best knows
his ability to apply manures which
cost money. Ii he has an abundance
of cotton seed, either composted or
crushed, OF barnyard manures, he can
apply them as literally as he desires,
as he can hardly put down too much
of either, ii broadcasted. If home
manures are used, about $50 pounds
OF acid phosphate per acre should be
used in addition to the barnyard man
ure OF compost heap. If the fertil-
izers are to be purchased, then for
mula consisting of 1000 pounds of
good acid phosphate, $50 pounds of
cotton seed meal and $50 pounds of
KANT, mixed well, and applied at rate
Of 500 pounds per acre, would furnish
good amount of the necessary ele-
ments of plant food to secure satisfac-
tory results. The fertilizer should be
applied broadcast and narrowed in ut
time of sowing, OF put in with seed
drill, if a machine is used AS top
dressing to wheat or oats now grow
ing, but which need additional ferti-
izer, an application of the above for
mula at rate of 300 pounds per acre
would be exceedingly helpful. Bear
well in mind that the crop of spring
oats to turn out well, must be forced,
for they have only half the time in
which to mature that the fall sowing
have. The forcing process must be
done by sowing in good ground which
has been properly prepared, by fertil-
izing with quickly available plant
foods, and then leaving the balance to
the handiwork of nature.

Good, wholesome meat is neither of

bears cooking without much shrink

bad meat shrivels up and boils to
pieces, this being due to the larger
proportion of watery and gelatinous
material and the absence of true mus
