old charge so often made against these
birds of pulling up the newly planted
corn in the cornfields of the east we dc

west, perhaps because the cornfields
are so large that no perceptible dam
age is done. But they do greatly in
jure the corn growing near their fly
ways and roosts when it gets into the
dough stage by stripping the husks
down and sucking the juice from the
kernels. They also wage an unceasine
war on other birds by destroying their
nests and eatirg the eggs and young
birds. While the crow will follow the
plow, he is mostly after ang'le-worms
which are always good friends of the

POULTRY YARD NOTES.

The brooder and its proper manage
ment is more than half of artificial rear
ing.
Have regular hours for feeding, and
you will always find the fowls ready at
the appointed time.
If you want eggs to hatch and to sell
from March to June, do not push your
hens now; feed maintenance ration
and let them rest for some weeks.
The droppings of poultry fed on grain
and meat at this season are too valuable
to be wasted Carefully store in bar
rels, mixing with dry earth and plas-
ter, and keep for the truck Patch.
Make a trip through your hennery
with a lantern after the fowls have gone
to roost. Fowls with throat affections
car then be easily discovered and should
be removed to the hospital for treatment,
If you want to know what roup Is,
lust open a door or a window over the
heads of the fowls and let the cold air
or wind pour down on them for night
or two. In cold weather ventilation
should be from the floor outward, or up
through an air shaft. Farm Joureal.

case of the fly in the illustration the
distance from the outside wire to the
house is 80 feet, The frame of the fly is
made of hemlock posts 2x3 inches IN
size and feet high above the ground.
These posts should be set in three rows
parallel with the side of the building
six posts in each row. The outer row
supports the end of the fly 30 feet from
the building. Hemlock boards inch
es wide are nailed to the top and bot
tom around the sides and an additional
finch board is nailed between at such a
height that a netting four feet wide will
reach from it to the strips above and
below. This gives wire wall s feet
high. The fly is divided into sections
corresponding to the sections in the
house.

Discarding Poor Farm Animals.

One of the hardest things for young
breeder to do is to discard animals that
are not up to the standard for breeding
purposes. There are always buyers for
pure bred animals at a fair price. 1t
matters not If the animal is inferior, it
will often command enough to tempt
the breeder to part with it. Here is
where great many breeders tear dswn
their reputation while they are trying
to build it up Inferior breeding stock
sold to somebody has lived to vex many
a man who thought he was getting rid
of his culls to advantage. 1t requires
courage to send pure bred animals to
slaughter, but 1t pays when they are
not the kind to keep. The safe and
eventually the profitable plan is to sell
good animals and keep better ones and
breed best ones.-Thomas McFarlane, in

Tests of Feeding Stuffs.

The results of the state feeding stuffs
inspection are announced in Bulletin No.
$40 of the New York experimental sta
ton at Geneva. More than 500 samples
of feeds have been collected and analysed
By the station, covering $50 brands OF
these brands Isl were licensed in the
state, the others being exempt from H.
rense or sold without compliance with
the law. Very little .aduteration was
found in the standard feeds coming I'M
der the law, like cottonseed and linseed
meal. gluten products and brewers and
dfstillers' residues; but many proprie-
tary and mixed feeds were found to con-
tain corn cobs, oat hulls or similar worse
than valueless ingredients. Purchasers
are especially cautioned to beware of
feeding stuffs running very high in fiber,
and a list is given of several brands
which are faulty in this respect.

FACTS ABOUT GAPES.
VIII Prevent the Appearance
of the Disease,


To prevent gapes is better than any at
tempts to give relief after the chicks
are affected, and although it is now
somewhat late in the season to consider
gapes, yet few rules to observe when
chicks are to be Matched may not be
out of place. The following should Be
kept for future reference: Scatter air
slaked lime freely over the ground occu-
pied by the chicks. Put little of the
lime in the drinking water. Should
signs of the gapes appear, feed the
chicks twice week with stiff corn-meal
dough, first intimately miying a tea
spoonful of spirits of turpentine with
a quart of the meal. Give very sick
chick drop of tufpentine on bread
crumb. If this fails, then strip
small feather, leaving small tuft
on the end, insert the end OF the
feather in the windpipe, give it twist
and then quickly withdraw it, Feed on
clean boards. Never allow residuum
food to remain on the ground. Keep the
ground free from filth. The rich, moist
places, such as are favorable to earth
worms, are favorable to gapes. Do not
mistake lice for gapes, as the large gray
lice on the skin of the heads and necks
will often cause the chicks to gasp from
weakness
1t is not an easy matter to insert a
feather down the threats Of large
number of chicks; hence. the best
wholesale method is to give turpentine
in cornmeal, and to use plenty of lime
on the ground, as lime will purify the
soil and render it unfit for gapeworms,

FARM AND FIELD.

In order to develop a cattle industry in
Nigeria, a number of milch cattle have
been purchased in Barbados, and shipped
direct to the west coast of Africa.
American hand and sulky plows are
very much admired by farmers in the
Orange river colony and Natal, and the
only requirement to make them popular
is proper introduction by al intelligent
American salesman.

duced 4.S9l ,7S7 boxes of oranges, and we
