The number of varieties or FOWL tnat
farmer should keep will depend
great deal on what he wishes to do
with his fowls. There are three diff
ferent procedures looking to three dit
ferent ends. The ordinary farmer that
wants poultry as a side issue, and who
intends to sell good many birds and
eggs in the market, and has nothing
but revenue to look for from them will
do well to confine himself to one kind
Of fowl. If he has but one variety and
they are kept pure, he will find it pos
sible to produce birds of a uniform
size, anu now and then he will find it
very easy to sell some at more than
ordinary prices. His eggs, too, will
be of one size and one color. On the
other hand, if he wishes to have
flock to supply himself and his family
and does not expect to sell dressed
poultry or eggs, then he can just as
well have a mixed flock, or even non
descripts. The advantage Of this is
that some of these birds will lay at
different times of the year, and a
mixed flock well fed will give eggs
during much Of the winter months
as well as the summer months. The
man that wishes to keep number OF
varieties is generally man who has
either a scientific leaning toward in
vestigation, or is building up trade
in breeding stock. Sometimes one
farmer will keep forty Or fifty va.
rieties of land and water fowls. The
only difficulty about this is that some
buyers prefer to purchase from a man
that keeps but one variety, as there is
less likely to be mistake made in
the breeding Of the birds, and the eggs
that he buys for setting purposes.
Thus, the man that wants to buy pure
Plymouth Rock eggs is more than
likely to send to the man that has
Plymouth Rocks only than to the man
that has a dozen varieties OF land
fowls, for he rightly judges that in the
latter case it is very likely that mis-,
take will be made somewhere along
the line from the time the eggs are
collected from the nests until the time
they are shipped.

Best Pasture FOR Mich Cows.

By long experiment it has been
learned that the best pasture for
milch cows is that containing s Or 10
varieties of grass. 1t is desirable that
the grasses be of such character that
they will mature at different times
from late spring to late fall. BY hav-
ing mixed grasses in the pasture a
greater weight of heritage is obtained
than when one kind Of grass is used.
When one kind only is used there is
a flush period when it is approaching
maturity, and after that the grass de-
clines in succulence and does not
thereafter produce the same luxuriant
growth that it did at the first of the
season. The practice of sowing tim
othy, clover and blue grass in the pas
ture is not to be commended. The
clover soon dies out and very little of
it remains after the third year. This
applies, Of course, to the permanent
pasture. In the system of rotation,
of which the pasture forms part,
clover and timothy may we'll be- used.
In some parts of the country several
varieties Of blue grass are used as a
foundation for pasturage. Kentucky
blue grass and Canadian blue grass,
though similar in name, are dissimilar
in looks and habits of growth. These
do not ripen at the same time. At the
Missouri station are to be seen large
pastures of blue grass in all their
1uXuriance, and in these pastures the
Canadian and Kentucky varieties are
the most prominent. The best pasture
for mich cows is that pasture that
produces a large amount of succulent
feed throughout the growing season.
Cows Should not be compelled to wan
der over large areas to secure the food
necessary to sustain themselves and
manufacture milk.
