DRY FEEDING.

Hundreds of young chicks are
Matched every year that die before
they are month old. The most COM
mon cause Of death is bowel trouble.
This is not always caused by the food.
chill will often cause digestive trou-
BILE and death, but the most common
cause is improper food, or food in an
improper condition.
Nearly all writer's on poultry now
advocate dry feeding. This week we
devote most of our space to this sub.
ject. Some writer's recommend it not
only for chicks, but also for grown
fowls. We have followed this method
for years with unvarying success. We
feed dry grain almost entirely. We
give them table scraps, including rem
nants of cooked grits, etc, but this is
cooked until solid and not sloppy.

TO KEEP BUTTER FRESH.

According to Thornwell Haynes,
United States Consul at Rouen, the
French National Society of Agriculture
has recently received from one of its
members an interesting communication
on the preservation of butter by fiuor-
ide of sodium. The writer says this
substance is not hurtful unless admin
istered in doses of some thirty grams
(463 grains) a day for animals weigh
ing 125 pounds. From one-quarter to
one gram in pulverulent state suffices
for two pounds of butter, which it will
preserve indefinitely. 1t is stated that
the strength of the fiuoride, so far as
its effect upon the health is concerned,
is diminished one-half by mixing If.
however, it retains its full strength,
no Inconvenience can result, as many
physicians prescribe as much as forty
centigrams GIG grains) every twenty
four hours in order to regulate diges-
ton. 1t is further stated that the fiuor-
ide can be used only in infinitesimal
quantities, as more than half a gram
to pound of butter renders it unpal-
atable, but that instead of making
the butter indigestible and less nutri-
tive, the fluoride, when used properly,
is considered an aid to digestion

Breed the horse first for strength ard
endurance and then style.
The best sheep is the most profitable
one under all circumstances.
1t pays to have horses perform work
that are naturally good walkers.
A horse with an unruly disposition
in very many cases is of little or no
account.
A fast walk and prompt telling road

The pigs will do well in the apple
orchards, especially if there are many
sweet apples.

to explain away his former GOODNESS,
every word of which the young girl
believed.
Their interview continued in this
wise:

how cruel it would have been to have
