L ON THE FARM.

Though the class of fowls to be seen
on many farms is much better than it
was a few years ago, there is still plen-
ty of DON for improvement. The plan
is even now generally adopted of keep
ing cocks and cockerels of no partic-
ular breed, it being forgotten that
however valuable a special variety may
be in itself, its worth is entirely lost
when crossed and r~ecrossed indiscrim-
inately. 1t ear not be impressed up
on farmers too strongly that it s'bad
policy to use mongrel male birds.
Whatever the hens may be, pure stock
males should always be kept. The
character of the chickens cannot pos
sibly be foretold when both parents are
mongrels.
In deciding upon the most profitable
breeds for a farmer to keep, it must
first be considered whether eggs or
table fowls will be likely to pay best.
IN sOme districts eggs have to be look
ed to for profit; in other places table
chicken growing will be found moro
lucrative; or there may be a good mar
Eet for both. If there is a ready sale.
both for eggs and for table fowls, it
is worth while to keep two separate
sets of fowls on different parts of the
farm. Portable poultry houses make
this easy besides lessening food bills
by the facility for moving the houses
into the corr or wheat fields after the
harvest or by frequently changing the
run.
For egg production, a better aver
age of eggs will be obtained, if the
bulk of the stock are n~On-setters.
Amongst pure bred fowls, White Leg
horns are difficult to surIasS for pro-
ducing a quantity of fair sized eggs.
They are moreover hardy and DO wei,
on most soils and in almost IL neigh
bOrhood. IF the situation is fairly
sheltered, Black Minorcas viii be
found most prolific layers of large
eggs. But both these breeds lay white
eggs, and brown eggs are often more
IN request. Layers of coIYrcd eggs,
however, are sitters and Il good deal
If time is lost in the hens becoming
bIOody, unless care is taken to hreak
them of their desire to incubate, di-
rectly they show any signs. Black
L~angshans or Buff Wyandottes are ex-
cellent layers of colored eggs, produc-
ing a good supply in the winter
months. But if only mongrel hens are
kept, as is the case on most farms, the
number of eggs can be largely ~increas-
ed in the next generation by using
Minorca, Andalusian or Leghorn
cocks.
When table chicken are REQUIRED
there is nothing better than a first

Farm Miscellany.
GROWING TOBACCO UNDER
CLOTH.

As the plants grew, the advantages
of raising under shade became easily
evident. Most patent of all was the
fact that the many insects which prey
upon the leaves were kept out by the
covering. So strongly vas the tight
tent of cloth built, moreover, that the
toughest winds necessitated but few
repairs, and the plants, usually lashed
and torn by the storms, were entirely
protected. Under the cloth, also, a un-
form temperature was possible, vary
ing from three to five degrees warmer
than that of the open field. The cold
nights of the spring which deter the
growth of the plants in the open did
not influence the growing under cover
Within the tents a continuous tropical
climate existed. The hot u that
baked the soil was tempered, and a
considerably larger percentage OF hui
nudity was kept under the cloth than
was possible in the fields. The effects
of heavy rains were also modified. The
leaves were not harmed by the swift
drops, nor did the soil become packed
and hardened into a crust. Instead,
the water beating upon the cloth, sift-
ed through and fell in a fine, warm
mist upon the plants. The growth
seemed to have the advantages of both
the open air and the dollhouse, gain
ing the health of one and the protect
ed fneness of the other. With the
idea of getting the finest possible leaf
the plants were not topped. In the
early summer, the long stalks, stand
ing up like rows of sturdy poles, and
bearing thin, broad leaves of a vivid
green, were touching the roof of their
house of cloth.
And the fame of tented tobacco
fields and plants nine feet high went
out among the growers. Many of
them came to see the fabulous growt' !,
doubling the reports they had heard,
having no faith in building cheese
cloth houses for tobacco, prepared to
ridicule the whole project. But when
they had walked down between rows
upon rows of veritable trees of to-
bacco, which shook out great green
leaves three or four feet above their
heads, and when they had examined
these %luxuriant, symmetrical, shining
leaves, twenty to twenty-four inches in
length, and noted the thin fneness of
them, their perfect size and shape for
wrappers-giving two full cuts with
out waste-and their remarkable
strength and stretch, many of the Wis
itOrs began to examine the structure,
to inquire into costs and to make plans
for their own fields of tobacco. The
Secretary of Agriculture, Mr.. Wilson,
came up from Washington and went
over the ground, congratulating the
growers and making suggestions.-Ar-
