HenA Delight In scratchinr.

When fowls have the run Of the farm
they exercise principally by walking
and scratching. Even than the hens
spend much OF their time in places
where they find scratching easy. Tha,
they will do the same thing more read.
ily in confinement is obvious, il the op-
portunity be given them. That this op-
portunjty should be supplied Is taught
by the experience Of every man that
makes poultry raising business and a
success. Scratching has been termed
the vice Of hen, and IL certainly takes
On this form when the attempt Is made

Poultry Manure Valuable.

The droppings Of poultry are better
for some purposes than any other kind,
as poultry manure is the only kind
that is free of the seeds Of weeds. II
the manure is carefully saved it will be
found excellent for the garden. 1t is
better TO broadcast over the surface OF
the ground after the land is plowed or
spaded, raking II into the soil. To APP
ply it in the rows or on the hills is to
incur risk Of damage to tender plants.
II may be mixed with dry dirt, land

Jumps In the manure they should be
broken by beating with the back OF a

Trained Ferrets on Farms,

We are asked how to train a ferret
to hunt rats. 1t needs no training.
1t is natural for it to hunt rats. If
it is placed at the opening Of hole,
it will enter it, and when it has
driven the rat out or killed it it will
come out Of the hole and can be picked
up. What is called trained ferret
will do nothing more or less. All
ferrets, however, are not alike. Some
will hunt better than others. Some
will bite, and can hardly be broken
Of the habit. But practically fer
ret is a ferret, and is fearless hunt
er. These animals are exceedingly
valuable on a farm that is infested
with rats.-Agricultura Epitomist.
