The Needs of Poultry.

Assuming that the poultry house is
comfortable and properly ventilated,
as well as kept free from vcrmin. any
trouble which the fowls have Is due,
probably, to the method o. feeding.
Unless one Is skilled in feeding and
has kept up the variety necessary to
the best results, together with the
feeding of green .ood and animal
meal, there is likely to be n falling
off in the egg supply. Possibly the
hens are being overfed, anG if so this
may be tGslly remedied by reducing
the ration. The chances are. howcv-
er, that the llck of green food is the
trouble; to put it l. other words, the
fowls have had too much grain. Try
the plan of cutting down their grain
rations abou. one-third (one-half if
the fowls are very faU and making
up the bulk with green food. Feed
them anything in the line of green
food obtainable, cabbage, vegetable
tops of any sort tat they will at,
small potatoes, cut green clover, any
thing that will give them the needed
change, and give their stomachs a
chance to rest from the overfeeding
Of grains. DO lnls and yo" will see
decided change in the egg produc-
lion after two weeks.

the pigs while on the last of the rape;

and never let this spring pass without

nIatingIowI.

In the producing of stock of all
kinds too much scare cannot be given
to selecting and mating. SO as to have
Il product that Is an Improvement on
what you had TO produce from. This is
especially necessary with poultry.
Those who can select of their best and
so pair them as to produce better than
the parent stock have made an ad-
vancement. Those who fail n this are
continually reducing the qualit of
their stock or going backward in place
Of forward.
No matter or what urpose we may
keep fowls, it should always be our in
tent TO improve them, If keeping
them for market eggs, we should mate
or pair them, not only TO Increase the
egg yield, but to increase the quality
and size of the egg produced as well.
If you keep Leghorn hens aim to in
crease the size OF the hem just a lit
tie rather than to allow them to grow
smaller. With this aim t. have pull
lets that will lay better than did their
mother hen. II you gain Increase In
size OF the pullets and add TO the num-
ber OF eggs produced you, will then
surely gain In size of the egg pro
duced. because the increased size Of
the hens will add i;ze in proportion to
the eggs. While this Is true with Leg
horns. It Is not always the case with
such fowls as Cochins and Brahmas.

GOT CLOSE TO 1T.
Occasion When Jack Was Near the

Jacks parents were ambitious for
their offspring; but the offspring lack.

motic, consequently his father and
mother had never achieved the desire
of their heart, which was to see their
son at the head of his class.
AS the winter progressed, Jacks
monthly reports kept pace with the
thermometer in its slide toward zero.
Mother was discouraged; fsther was
wrathy. First brbes were offered
then threats were resorted to. but
nothing availed. The end of each
month always called forth the same
scene in Jacks family--tears on the
part Of mother; the switch on the part
of father.
Jack would seem to be overcome by
remorse and promise better things for
the future, but IL skating or coastine
happened to be good, his resolutions
would melt under the ardor of his
enthusiasm fer these sports, and the
lessons would go by the board.
"Oh, Jack why can't you get 100?

foot, then on another, then he burst

father lived in Cripplegate, where. as
we know, he had shop. The child,
therefore. was years of age in the
plague year. A child of observes a
great deal and may remember a great
deal. Defoe says: When any one
bought a joint of meat he would not
take it.out of the butchers hand, but
took it off the hooks himself; on the
other hand, the butcher would not
touch the money, but put it into a pot
full of vinegar which he kept for the
purpose This must surely have been
