Farm Notes.

Many a good chick has been ruined
in the rearing.
Allow O margin for disappointments
in the Matching and rearing of chicks.
Beginners generally expect too much
and are then disappointed at the real
results. ....
Everything considered, April and
May are the best months of the year
to purchase eggs for hatching.
A miss is as good as mile when the
old COW kicks at you; and when you
kick at her it is better than five miles.
If the hogs have no dependence for
water except the mud holes in which
they wallow, disease and death are
bidding for them.
Do you like sheep? If not you
might better not try to keep them, No
man can do we'll with sheep if he does
not love them. So with everything
else.
If the ewes are kept on tolerasly
thin pasture and allowed to get little
lean, and then put on rich pasture
at the time of mating, you will have
more and stronger lambs.
Improvement is seldom found in a
cross. and if it is it Is only with and
after great care and guarding and
perpetuating such a cross until it final
" becomes q distinct breed Of itself.
Grape cuttings should be planted as
soon as the soil can be worked In the
spring. In planting put them in ground
up to top bud and at a slant so that
the soil will be firmly packed about
them and prevent drying out.
Cover all large wounds resulting
from the removal of large limbs In
pruning, storms or sleet, with heavy
coat Of white lead. This will protect
the heart wood till new growth has had
time to develop over dead wood ane
protect it from decay.
Provide the poultry house with
perches, dust boxes, lime, gravel.
broken oyster shells and ground or
broken bone. Clean out regularly and
spread over the floor and especially un'
der the roosts, a layer of dry earth as
an absorbent and deodorizer.
