share of their food while in winter,
when the trees cannot be cultivated,
the hens may receive fun attention.
With poultry and fruit production the
grower can find profitable employment
the entire year, and the hens Will give
a daily revenue when it is most need,
ed. A flock of hens will thrive only
in proportion to the room provided.
An acre of ground will afford comfort
to certain number, and while it is
not difficult to have the flock larger
than necessary, yet the number of eggs
will not be increased. About 100 hens
should be the largest number an acre
ought to maintain, and if they are
given good care will pay better than
twice the number, because the larger
flock will double the expense without
giving corresponding increase in
product. Any farmer who can make a
profit of $50 an acre on his farm will
do more than can be claimed by many
others, but it is not so difficult to do
so with poultry, as the land occupied
by the hens can also give crops OF
fruit. An acre in grass viii give am
pie forage for 100 hens during the sum-
mer. without requiring food from the
barn, and the eggs will cost almost
nothing.

The best way to get rid of weeds is
to crowd them out with grass, says the
Garden magazine. A first-rate lawn
will overcome all intruders, the dande-
lion possibly excepted. The frequent
lrse of a good lawn mower is one OF the
best means OF discouraging weeds. Inc
application of lime or land plaster to
soils which have tendency to be acid
encourages the growth of grass In
certain cases, however, when every
thing has been done Alright, some
weeds will persist, especially plantain
and dandelion. The only thing to be
done in sub cases is to pull them out
by hand. This work is expensive,
though it sometimes proves much
cheaper than was expected. At any
rate. a good lawn is worth the price,
and there is no other way.
BY giving a change OF food from
grain to something bulky a great saw
ing may be made. A pound of clover
and a quart of bran should not cost
over two cents, yet it should be a meal
for 90 hens, and good meal at that, as
it is a combination which is conducive
to egg production. The neyt morning
a pound of cut meat and bone should
serve as a meal, and it need not cost
over cent, while at night about two

A girl from Janet street, Cardiff,
Mary Jane Hutchens, now in domes-

other night at travelling menagerie
now in Merthyh by entering lions
den with another young woman and
going through a cakewalk She then
approached the lion, which at first

seemed quite fearless, and declared
her desire to repeat the performance.
