Poultry Notes.

Lime well floors and damp places in
the poultry runs.
Fowls should be well supplied with
fresh, clean water.
Young chickens should be fed many
times through the day.
Fowls confined tosnarrow limits are
apt to get too fat if we'll fed. and they,
will not lay.
Charcoal is highly recommended for
fowls. Put it There they can get it.,
and they will 90 the rest.
One breed is enough for the farmer.
Ii more than one is kept they will mix
and lose their individuality.
Fowls kept in yards of moderate size
ufTe less from disease, and lay more
eggs than those on free range.
Since the price Of beef and pork has
gone so high more poultry is being eat
en-; but the quality must be good.
In raising fowls for market those
that are the best layers, the best set
tiers. n mature early. are the best.
Milk is one of the best possible feeds
for laying hens. and it would pay to
divide it between the pigs and the
hens.
While usually a hen becomes less
valuable after she is two years old.
many will continue laying until four
years old.
Sometimes pullets will do more than
hens in the way of laying. These
should be watched and NJ sold or
killed. Ihey srill Ernbably become
valuable layers.

Contamination Of Wei, Wafer.

Manure heaps are responsible for
many diseases that appear on farms.
Even the well water may become con-
taminated, though the heap may be
some distance from it. Typhoid fever
and diphtheria have appeared in fami-
lies living a mile or more from neigh
bors, and where it was apparently i'm
possible for the families to be at
tackled. A French scientist, who in
vestigated diseases on farms in France,
found that there was some relation
between manure heaps and epide lies
Of diphtheria. Statistics in Scotland
and Prussia show that the rate of NOR
tality from d~iphtheria is higher in ru-
ral districts. 1t is suggested that all
manure should be kept in closed loca-
tons, with cement sides and bottoms.
If manure is treated with q solution of
sulphuric acid before being added to
the heap, the bulk of the manure will
be reduced and the plant food rendered
more soluble, while disease will be
prevented to a certain extent. One
point to observe is to have the we'll of
water as far from the sources of CON
tamination as possible, the grading be-
ing such that no surface water can flow
in the direction of the well.

Decomposition of Manure

The decomposition of del
ponds largely upon the amount of mois.
ture in the heap. When manure is dry
the chemical changes occur slowly, but
more rapidly when the heap is wet.
When manure is mixed with a liberal
supply Of absorbent materials, and
stored under shelter, it will undergo
but little change, but when wanted for
use it may be decomposed in Il short
time If saturated with urine. If the
bedding used in the stalls is cut fine it
will serve the purpose desired fully as
we'll as When uncut, but the main adj
vantage is that the fine material may
be more intimately mixed with man
ure, and will then better absorb the
liquids, to say nothing of the easier
handling, loading and distribution of
the manure OF the fields when the sea-
son arrives for spreading it.-Philadel-
phia Record.

~Spencer's Home Life.

Mr.. Spencer was never married, and
for a number of years lived in board
ing houses. In later life he provided
his W establishment-not that he
cared for its social possibilities, but
from a curious qualification at having
a sort of family circle around him.
Conversation among those who formed
that circle was objected to. Mr.. Spen-
Ger enjoyed his w thoughts and the
sight of people presumably enjoying
theirs. instrumental music he could
endure in small doses. 1t was his
habit on fine mornings to sit at the
open doorway Of his house and listen
to a piano played in a distant apart
ment. A thump Of his stick was the
signal for the player to stop, another
thump for the music to proceed from
the bar where it broke off.-London
Daily Chronicle.

Several of the experiment stations
reported good results from the use of
commercial fertilizers as a top dress
ing for meadows. AS a rule the es-
sential plant foods were all used. but
IN varying proportions. 1t is interest
ing to note in all of these reports that
where nitrogen was used in considera-
Die quantity the yield was proportion
ately large, showing conclusively the
need for nitrogen by most grasses.
In the experiments of the writer this
plan OF top dressing has been carried
Oh successfully, and the best results
have been when wood ashes were used
every third year. Our plan of TOP
dressing is to use 800 pounds Of nj
trate of soda, $50 pounds of acid phos-
9hate and 250 pounds of muriate of
potash; every third year this is
changed by increasing the nitrate of
soda by 100 pounds and using 400
pounds of wood ashes in place of the
muriate of potash. 1t pays to top
dress meadows, and if the commercial
fertilizers cannot be used, stable ma
nure should take their place.-Indian-
apolis News.

Rabbit Pest on Estate.

Rabbits are doing great damage on
the estate of James B. Duke, near
Somerville. Mr.. Duke had protected
them with great care. Gunners who
shot rabbits on his estate were arrest
ed, and trespass notices were posted
during the hunting season. During the
recent cold weather the rabbits ap-
peared in great numbers in Mr.. Dukes
nursery and began an onslaught on
young fruit trees. destroying trees val
ued at 5000 in a night. Mr.. Duke then
applied to the State Game Commission
er for special permission to kill the
rabbits, and thirty-seven were shot in
M hour. The slaughter will be con
tlnued until the estate is cleared.

One of the chief dangers of life is trust
ing occasions. We think that conspicuous
events, striking experiences, exalted mo-
ments, have most to do with our character
and capacity. We are wrong. Common
days, monotonous hours, wearisome paths,
plain old tools and everyday clothes tell the
real story. Good habits are not made on
birthdays, nor Christian character at the
new year. The vision may dawn, the
dream may waken, the heart may leap
with a new inspiration on some mountain
top, but the test, the triumph, Is at the
foot of the mountain, on the level plain.
The workshop of character is everyday
life. The u%neventful and common-hour IS
where the battle is won or lost. Thank
God for a new truth, a beautiful idea, a
glowing experience, but remember unless
we bring it down to the ground and teach
it to walk with feet, work with hands. and
stand the strain of daily life, We have
worse than lost tive nave been hurt by
it. A new light in our heart makes-an "a
~casion, but an occasion Is an opr1
not for building a tabernacle and
thankful and looking back to a bless
memory, but for shedding the new light :
the old path, and doing old duties wit
new inspiration. The life X
the child Of the common day lived in an
way.-Rev Maltbie d. Babcock.

Summer Home Burned.

The new summer home being built
at Monmouth Beach for William Kamp
was destroyed by f.. The loss is said
to be about $40, 600. The building was
not completed, and workmen were to
begin putting in the plastering. The
fire started under circumstances
which are believed to point to incen-
diarism. The building had been left
alone, and there had been no fire nor
light in it for many hours before the
flames broke out. The local volunteer
fremen turned out, as did those of
North Long Branch, but the fire was
so threatening, owing to the high
wind, that the depal ment of Long
Branch was asked for aid. The Long
Branch men had a long pull over the
snow covered roads, but reached there
in time to be of aid in saving surround
ing buildings. The cottage was burner

FAILURE.

He brought me to his garden rare,
To give. me of his best;
Tie pulled a lily for my hair,
The jasmine fer my breast,
And filed my lap with roses red,
For they were born of love, he said.
All day he taught me garden lore,
The way to sow and prunei
And what to waste and how to store
From ftful March to June;
And then he left me mistress there,
Proud mistress of the garden rare.

His watchful praise to WIN;
But o, the creepers shot so high,
The weeds did oversin!
And when his coming he delayed
| grew mistrustingly afraid.
The roses, too, began to fade,
His roses born of love!
Perchance it was the willows shade
Big boughs I could not move;
I know not, but in wild dis1nay
I kissed them dead, and fed away.

should look into the matter of better
street lighting, as the city is paying

morning, and many do not burn all
night.
