clean Poultry Quarter..

Cleanliness not only adds to the ap-
pearance of the premises and makes
a good impression on tho mind of your
visitors, but is the greatest preventive
of disease. If the yards and houses
are kept clean and pure there will be
little trouble about disease; so before
the breeding season opens have the
houses and yards thoroughly renovoted
and disinfected. Remove all the
dropping boards and nest boxes, have
them thoroughly cleaned and white
washed, and after the house is put in
condition, dust all the birds thor
oughly with some good insect powder,
and be sure that they are free from
lice. If the legs should be scaly, grease
them with coal oil, lard and sulphur,
mixed, but do not do this after you
begin saving the eggs for Matching, for
they are liable to become creased and
destroy the fertility. Keep tbs roosts
clean and we'll oiled with coal oil or
crude petroleum. This should be done
every week or two. BY carefully OBJ
serving the above and properly feed
ing, there will be little cause for dis
ease.-Farmers' Home Journal.

A recent canvass of our large east
ern cities showed that 81 per cent. Of
the leading citizens were brought up
on the farm. An examination of 100
of the commercial and professional
representative men Of Chicago showed
that IS per cent were raised In the
country and rural villages. Seven
teen Of our % president come from
the farm. The census Of students Of
four colleges and seminaries showed
that the rural districts and villages are
furnishing IS per cent. Of our college
students. The brain and nerve centers
are not more dependent upon the
soundness Of the surrounding tissue
than the town upon the rural districts.
The leaders are quickly succeeded by
men from the country. They always
have been, they always will be. For
this there are two reasons. One Is
that the country air, food and exer-
else are essential to compact and
healthy brain. Ruddy cheeks, strong
digestion, large veins in which blood
may run, have free course and be
glorified in strong thinking, are closely
related to the herds, fields and forests.

The Boy on the Farm,

Why so many OF our farm boys
should desire to leave the farm and go
to the city to beat out ar existence
has for some time been qrery In my
mind. Perhaps 1t is because the city
cousin has, by persistent talking, In
stilled in the mind of the country
youth the idea Of an ever easy life In
the city. Here is where the miscon-
ception is. City life is prison COM
pared with life In the country. The
compensation may seem greater FOR
work in the city, but this Is many
times not the case. We are too apt to
look upon work op the farm as mere
drudgery, and by placing the boys at
work too early have made them dis
like the farm and life thereon. To my
mind there Is no drudgery to farm
work. While there are times that the
farmer has to work seemingly every
minute, there are also many more
times when leisure is at his command.
Laws have been enacted to prevent the
too early employment Of boys In man.
ufacturing pursuits. II the same con-
sideration would be given the farmer
boy, there would be, perhaps, less
desire to go to the city to gain happi-
ness and wealth. Habits formed in
early life are very likely to be last
ing, therefore the parents should at
tempt to cultivate in the youth of the
farm a love for rural life and liberty.

RAISING DRAFT HORSES.
For the Average Farmer
to Raise.

Interest in horse breeding has In
creased in the southwest until the
farmers are now considering the advis-
ability of raising draft horses. These

SHEEP ON THE FARM
The Breeder should Select the Type
of His Choice and Then
Stick to 1t.

In starting out to raise sheep, a
breeder should have clearly in mind
what breed and type he wishes to
raise, then stick to 1t, come what may.
Cross breeding and changing from one
breed to another gives no definite re-
suits. With pure-bred sheep, type
may sometimes charge little.
Now suppose we have good bunch
of ewes of the breed we want; we will
mate them to a ram with masculine
eye and head, with short, thick neck,
wide and deep chest, back and loins,
wide and straight, and well covered
with lean meat, rump wide and long,
twist plumb, and fleece of good quality
and Dense Too much pains can not
be given in selecting ram, as on him
depends by far the greater part of the
improvement of the flock.
A common flock of ewes can in q
short time be graded up to first-class
sheep by always using the very best
of sires and selecting and culling with
Judgment.
We breed our ewes so that they
start lambing about March l. We di.
vide the ewes into flocks of so to Is
each, and then turn in one ram to each
flock. II the nocks are anywhere near
home we take the ram out after he has
been with them for an hour or two, as
we find that the ram will hold his
flesh better and the ewes get with
lamb sooner than II the ram is allowed
to run with them continually. The
ewes should be tagged before turning
in the ram, II any are dirty, which is
also a help to the ram in getting the
ewes with lamb.
The ram should also be in good flesh,
well fed and cared for at mating time.

A WORD FOR THE KITCHEN.
No Reason for Having 1t Away
Around at the Back Of
the House.

Why should kitchens be always built
at the back Of the house, where the grass
is trimmed down and slop pals accumu-
late? Why have back of the house,
anyway, instead of two fronts, equally
respected? The writer, says the Cook
ing School Magazine. recalls In Georgia
a long brick house. with three front
doors, one Of them the kitchen door.
You could look straight through the
house in pleasant weather, because there
were three other doors facing the ones
that looked over the bay. The rose that
was trained over the drawing room ran
along to the kitchen and peeped in at the
dear old nanny who sang there very
often. To balance things, the peach
tree that was trained, English fashion.

tended Its plant branches to the dining

Parsley grew in the violet borders, the

mistress could sit in the drawing-room
and see the children coming home from
school, or guests driving up from either
direction. and, consequently, a fresh
handkerchief and collar were always
ready. Dicey in. the kitchen could al

Watcrcress,

In the matter Of the watercress, on
which DIR. King Wary has submitted an
unfavorable report to the borough of
Hackney, the city press is reassuring.
watercress grown in polluted streams is
undoubtedly dangerous to health If not
properly washed. But the plant does
not absorb the poison in the Same way
as the oyster does the sewage, and a
cleansing in fresh cold water removes
all danger. This, we are assured, is the
consensus of medical experts. The
obvious moral is one that would natur-
ally occur to all dainty feeders-that
cress should be wei! washed before it
reaches the table.--London Chronicle.
