the value of the fowls
A few moments time each morning

Once every two weeks kerosene
should be poured over the roosts, and
lime sprinkled over droppings boards
and floors.
The old litter should be removed
from the scratching shed once every
month and new, fresh straw put in its
place.
If single fowl looks dumpy it
should at once be separated from the
flock and be given especial attention.

Not few Of those who win enter
for the first time, on account of high
prices for meat, the difficult work Of
feeding cattle in winter viii meet with
failure. The man who thinks that
winter feeding of cattle for profit is a
snap will unfortunately find his mis-
take when too late. One may feed the
cattle all right, and keep them in good
health, but the question is how to do
this so that every pound Of meat made
will yield solid profit above the cost
Of food. That is the problem which
feeders have to solve through many
years of hard experience, and often
with bitter failure.

cattle for twenty years past, and

After the feeding comes the equally
difficult process Of selling to the high
est market. If you have fed properly
your cattle is worthy Of the best mar

poor stock, but ship your animals to
responsible shippers and dealers, who

A great many farmers pay but little
attention to their hens through the
winter season. They expect a small
profit and usually get less. The more
we care for hens the better we learn
these methods. At last we determined

poultry. so We built q good substantial

they were given the following ration:
Bran mash, with cooked turnips or

breakfast, wheat for dinner and corn
in the evening In addition to this
they were furnished with plenty Of
grit and water; they were also given
considerable milk to drink part of the
time. On cold, snowy days they were
kept in the hen-house. During the
cold spell last February they were
kept confined fos about one month. but
they layed right along. We sold eggs
to the amount of SS9.74 from January

used at home were not counted. The
cost OF feeding the flock was about
twenty cents per day. So feel we'll

used for bedding in horse stables. In
the spring it need not be removed. ex-
cept to rake thin on the plants and
leave it in the path. A good compost
can be treated in the same way. Straw
berries must not be covered so thiclly
as to hide the tips of the leaves. We

heaving in the winter We may be
able to entirely dispense with covering
