The Ideal Poultry Yard.

II you have plenty of room do not
crowd your chickens, in fact it does
not pay to crowd even if short Of
space. But if land is abundant, the
best plan is to haye a double yard,
that is two yards for each house. 1t
is better to make the length, as nearly
as possible, four times the width, that
is let each half be in that proportion
Build your house on the line SO that
the poultry can have access to either
yard at your pleasure. Then it will
be possible to have something for
green food growing in one yard at
all times. Sow oats or wheat and when
large enough to furnish good picking,
turn the chickens into that yard and
sow the other, by alternating in this
way a constant succession can be kept
up the year round.
We described our idea of what is
the best house for Florida, in these
columns some time ago. If any Of
our new subscribers did not see it
and feel sufficient interest to request
it we will repeat that description.

Incubator Dont's.

Don't forget to study your l1cu-
bator. Get the catalogue that describes
your particular machine, and study
every part and the construction IN
general.
Don't try to run the incubator in
place where there is a draft, or near
a stove, or in the sun. In such places
it will be impossible to maintain a
uniform temperature. Set it where the
temperature is Uniform land you will
have much better success. e
Don't forget to test the eggs before
setting the incubator and three times
during the incubation Do not use
any doubtful ones. Take no chances
with any eggs that you are not sure
contain fertile and vital germ.
Don't allow the lamps to burn low.
Keep them trimmed correctly and as
nearly full of oil as possible. Do not
let them smoke 1t is good plan to
clean the burners every day to insure
a uniform flame and absence Of smoke.
Don't place any dirty eggs in the
tray. Filth may cause the generation
Of deadly gases, which will work ruin
to many of the fertile eggs.
Don't try to place too many eggs in
the trays Eggs need room in the
incubator as we'll as the chickens need
room after they have been placed in
the brooder
Don't forget to turn the egg every
second day. The hen generally turns
them every day, and the one who at
tempts artificial incubation should see
to this important essential at least
az oh alternate dav
Don't neglect to cool the eggs every
morning The hen leaves her nest at
that time for food and drink, and it is
natural that the eggs should be ex-
posed for a few minutes to the pure
atmosphere.
Don't handle the eggs with dirty
hands. There may be enough germs
upon the hands to destroy the vitality
of the germs in the eggs you touch.
Don't disturb the eggs after the
eighteenth day. Better results are
obtained by allowing them to remain
quiet after that date.-Journal of Ag-
riculture

FALL CARE OF THE PASTURE.
Much Depends on Management as to
Results Obtained.

The care OF the pasture lands Is one
or the most neglected branches Of our
agriculture. and yet there are a few
farmers who are OF the opinion that
the easiest money that comes TO their
pocket is the money that comes from
their pasture land

AGED EGGS.

Eggs preserved four years IN water

expert OF the United States agricultu-

unpleasant taste or smell and the
white coagulated IN cooking. At this
age there is a slight taste like soda.
aud the white is pink in color and
very liquid. Eggs kept in water
glass about six months tasted and
smelled like well-kept eggs few
days old. Changes in preserved eggs
take place gradually and at one year
old are hardly noticeable. Out OF 3S4
dozen eggs put up between April and
June and sold between October and
December, only five dozen or 1.3 per
cent were bad. and these were crack
