THE FARM IN SUMMER.

Salt the weeds in the sheep pasture;
the sheep will then finish them.
Are the drains so made and opened
as to save the washings from the
highways?
If pastures are scared and dry, and
if mowings are failure, plant some
peas and oats, Hungarian, fodder corn
or other quick growing green crops to
fill the barns for winter feed. Re-
member these heavy green crops re-
quire plenty of plant food.
Sow some catch crop among the
corn to keep the ground covered dur
ing winter. Crimson clover, mustard
and other crops will do If after the
harvest of any crop IL was intended
to leave the ground bare, don't do IT,
Sow something; keep the land covered

FEEDING FOR COLOR.
without InjurinE the Health
of the Chickens.

Assuming that the chickens which It
is intended to feed for color are the
product of well-colored stock birds.
there is no reason why their color
should not be intensified by direct feed
Ing as canaries are fed; but this must
be done more with view to supple
menting the tendency to sound color,
than to altering it materially. 1t is not
much use attempting to color feed an
adult bird-the experiment must be
tried upon chickens, and they must be
color fed from the shell. The proper
principle to follow is to supply a lit
tie color food regularly-a small uuan-
tity given in systematic way, but not
spasmodic dosing on a large scale II
the birds be accustomed to it from
Matching time upwards, and then when
passing through their first or chicken
moult they be given rather more lib
eral supply, that is all that can be done.
After the moult the color, of course.
will be determined, and one cannot alter
the color of feathers which have al
ready developed-one can only do that
during the process of DEVELOPMENT.
When the moult is finished, therefore
and the color Is fixed for the time being.
the color food may be almost entirely
discontinued; but 1t should not be al
together given up, because fowls are
constantly losing feathers, and if the
effect of this feather food upon the
system be not maintained, by constant
ly giving small doses of it, there is a
possibility that any feathers which may
be lost will be replaced by those of a
different color The effect of the color
food. therefore, must not be allowed
to entirely lapse from the blood. The
expense of keeping up color feeding
on limited scale like this is not great,
and so it is within reason to 90 so.-

that of the thrilling moment. And
