Hasten the MolIlt.

1t is the common belief that the
poultry keeper can hasten the period
of moulting Of the early Matched birds
This is true, in a measure, but in a
measure only. 1t is natural that late.
hatched birds will moult late, and
early-hatched birds will mott early,
and when moulting Is influenced at all
1t cannot be for more than two or
three weeks.
When the bird is about five or six
months of age, the 'ormer date being
preferable, feed on light ration for
week or two. Ii the bird is in the
habit of getting all it can eat in the
yards it should be confined for part
of the day in the houses or lots where
there is no feed. Fasting in this way
will start the mot. As soon as the
molting is over and the new feathers
begin to start, the bird should be
given ration which includes an
abundance of heterogeneous feed. Sun
flower seed, wheat bran and prepared
chick foods which are known to be
rich in nitrogen should be used. Sun.
flower seed is the best of those named,
and if the farmer has a supply of it
he need invest In no other similar
feed. Feed containing a goodly sup.
ply of nitrogen rapidly assists in the
production of feathers, so the bird is
in full feather before sssiter sets in.
1t sometimes happens that birds
which are hatched very early in the
spring do not molt as early as they
should, and for such birds the above
suggestions will be found especially
beneticial.-Inland Farmer.

Agricultural Briefs.

For family use there is no necessity
Of having six or seven varieties of a
single dnd of fruit. Early, medium and
late varieties may be used, but it is
better to have variety of a kind
that is prolific and satisfactory than
to have the land occupied with several
varieties that seldom produce crops.
An insufficient supply of bees will
hinder the setting of fruit. While other
insects may take part in the carrying
of pollen, the fruit raiser must rely
chiefly upon honey bees. Experience
shows that, though bees may fly two
or three miles, hives shnnla. b5 with.
in half mile OF the orchard or small
fruit patch. .
Farmers are freqeuntly offered dis
ease-proof plants and trees, so-called,
but it may be safely claimed that no
variety of pear, peach, gooseherry,
cherry or other fruit is exempt from
disease peculiar to its species. Some
varieties may not be so susceptible
to disease as others, but II in range
of disease they will surely be attacked.

WHY HE WANTED LAW.

that this man bought five barrels of
