For Fatfening Fowls.

In fattening poultry for market be
sure and produce, as nearly as is pos
sible, the color of flesh desired. If
the market demands fowls with white
flesh, feed during the fattening period
n mixture composed of two pounds
of ground oats, two pounds of ground
buckwheat and one pound of ground
corn. Use skim milk for mixing, and
make to the consistency of thin por-
ridge. If a yellow flesh is wanted,
feed rations Of two pounds Of ground
corn, one pound of ground oats and
one pound of ground buckwheat. In
either ration a small quantity Of salt
should be added to give flavor
In the absence of skim milk for
mixing the ration, use water. but in
clude with the ground food a little
meat and a few finely chopped vege-
tables. No matter what the breed
of fowl to be fattened, care should
be used not to feed too much corn.
for it viii not be possible for the
birds to relish it long, hence they viii
not eat greedily enough TO fatten
them quickly and proftably.

Select Your Seed Corn.

The farmer who has a uniformly
good corn crop is generally the man
who looks after his seed himself. He
does not buy from any dealer whose
circular happens to fall into his hands
and plant the seed without testing.
The careful farmer picks out his
seed from the best of his own crop or
that Of his neighbor, sees that it is
properly dried and cared for during
the winter and tests It before planting
in the spring. The careless farmer
does not do these things and then
kicks because his crop is a failure. He
ought to hire / man to apply some
good lusty kicks to his own person.
The seedsmen are not always to
blame, Some of them are honest, The
farmer should test his seed for him
self, and if it be good give the seed
man his due; if. on the other hand,
it be bad, let him dispose of it the
best he can. A failing that growers
have is to delay securing their seed
until too little time is left to obtain
an adequate knowledge of its real
value.

But they who cut it cannot know
The loss to you and me.

Where long our tree has stood

WIN they see the wondrous sights We

From their windows made of glass?-
Ahe winged clouds, the marching sun,
The Scholarships that pass?
we saw the Spring come up the land,
The Autumn's flags flung out;

And answered the West Winds shout.
Aheir house of wood will higher be

Aet they will not live so near the sky,
Nor see what we saw there.

port on lamb and sheep exports from

to breeding lambs particularly for ex-

covered with fat, which, however, is
not laid on in excess. They are fair

to SOW what is known as a nurse crop
with clover. Whether the practice is
right or wrong depends upon coma,
tons. ana these conditions are the
quantity of humus in the soil. which
enables it to conserve the moisture.
and the amount of moisture taken
from the soil by the nurse crop. Just
as the foolish orchardist expects
crop of apples and a crop of hay or
grain from the same soil, so the av-
erage farmer expects a crop of rye or
oats and crop of clover from the
same soil The nurse crop thus be-
comes the robber crop, for it takes
from the soil the moisture needed to
make the proper growth of clover.
If one wants a crop of rye or oats,
then one should leave the clover out,
but if the clover is wanted. then the
seeding of the nurse crop should be
very light only enough to furnish the
necessary protection to the clover. A
bushel or even less an acre of rye or
oats is sufficient for seeding with the
clover; then if we occasionally pillow
under a good crop of clover we are
adding humus to the soil which will
enable it to do much for future crops.
Introduction of the Peach.
There is an interesting story about
the Introduction of the peach into
america more than 200 years ago. In
Maryland there is an old estate called
Peach Blossom, which was the seat
of the historical Robins family, who
came from England. One of the fa-S-
lily, Thomas Robins, was great
traveller and roamed all over the ac-
cessible regions of the world In Per-
STA he found the peach, a fruit then
unknown in England and America,
and brought back some peach stones
which he planted on the Robins es-
tate. When the trees blossomed the
flowers were so much admired that
the name of the estate was changed
from Arcadia to Peach Blossom. \
stone tablet once gave the date of the
planting of the peach stone, but it
has disappeared in the general wreck

which departed many years ago.
