at the mercy of panics. A certain

Kill the Weeds Early.

Weeds never die so easily as when
they are "just-a-borin'," and for this
reason there is no method that Is
more effective in destroying them
than the judicious use of harrow
in the cornfield or potato patch the
week following the time of planting.
Often good results are secured II a
cultivation is given just as the young
plants are coming through the
ground, but before there is a spread
of leaf AS soon as another lot OF
weed seed has started to germinate
these ridges may be narrowed lightly
to advantage and in the case of pota-
toes narrowing may be given as late
as two weeks after the plants have
come through the ground.-Weekly

Your Horses Feet.

A horse should never be compelled
to stand uphill. The anatomy of the
horses foot, and, indeed, the shape
of the, horse himself, makes this an
uncomfortable and unrestful position.
Whatever the arrangement for
drainage is, the horse must stand as
nearly level as possible. Moreover,
he must stand upon dry surface un-
less it is found that his feet need
moisture. In such cases a wet clay
floor is excellent, temporarily.
When you come in from driving,
and after your horse has properly
cooled off, see that the mud is re-
moved, not only from his legs and
the outer portions of his hoofs, but
from the sole as well. An occasional
stuffing with faxseed is not only bene-
fetal but necessary.-Indianapolis

pay to fertilize 1t; the pastures or ma
nure would all wash away. 1t is bet

The Size Of the Sea.

This refers not to the area of the
oceans only, but to their total cubic
content, which is reckoned by Ed
ward A. Martin, of the Geological So
ciety, at thirty times the cubic con-
tent of all the land lying above sea-
level. In other words, if-all the land
of the globe were scraped off down
to the level of the sea and thrown
into the ocean, 1t would fill only one
thirtieth part of the enormous abyss
which is occupied by the waters 40
cording to Lyell, the mean height of
the land above sea-level is 1000 feet,
whereas the mean depth of the ocean
is $4,000 feet. There are mountain
peaks which rise as high above sea-
level as the depressions of the ocean
sink below it, but the average height
of the land is slight compared With
the average depth of the sea.

Poultry Notes.

One of the main essentials of every
poultry house is that it must be kept
dry. Damp houses cause diarrhoea,
canker, sore eyes, rheumatism and
other troubles that all animals as
we'll as poultry are heir to. The best
way to keep the house dry is to give
it plenty of fresh air by opening the
doors and windows during the day.
Supply fresh litter often. Build the
house on high, dry spot.
Not more than forty hens should be
kept in one run-thirty would do
much better. The larger the flock the
sooner they clear off the surface food.
During the spring and summer where
fowls have the free range of the
farm there is plenty of room for a
large flock, but when fowls are lin
tied in their runs the flock must be
smaller. Unless other conditions are
supplied a large flock will eat up the
profits.
If your hens have been subjected
to sudden draft and have contracted
slight cold in the head, the follow
ing is a good remedy: Glauber salts,
two ounces; chlorate of potash, one
ounce; perchloride of iron, one-half
ounce, and one teaspoonful of tincture
of aconite to about three pints OF
water, allowing them no other water
to drink for a day or two. A cold is
easily detected. The fowls will have
a slight watery discharge at the eyes
and nostrils and will wheeze more OF
less. Watch them while they are on
the perch at night.
Mix some brains" with the feed
and you will get better results thar
If you mix your feed carelessly
Carefulness in feeding is essential II
any kind of stock. The amount o.
food given the laying hens, or thu
hens that should lay, is an importan
matter. No fixed amount can be
given, but it must be governed by the
Judgment of the operator.
The laying hens of the breeding
pen need vegetable food. Throw ir
a little clover or alfalfa, and let then
pick off the leaves as they desire.

may be inherited. If you wish hen

never breed from fowls that have ha'

Incubator Don'ts.

Don't forget to study your incuba-
tor. 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 a
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, and you
will have much better success.
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
uniform fame 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 II
the trays. Eggs need room in the in
cubator as we'll as the chickens need

Don't neglect to cool the egg
every morning. The hen leaves he

and it is natural that the eggs shoul,

Don't handle the eggs with dirt

Killing Poultry.

The first essential is that the fowl
shall have absolutely no food for
thirty-six hours so that its crop, giz-
zard and intestines shall be empty.
First-class dressing demands that
the fowl be dry picked-not scalded.
This makes the French method of
killing very essential. BY this meth
cd the fowl is suspended by loop
around its legs to hook on the wall.
With a quick thrust through the
brain the operator kills the bird and
sewers the main arteries. At that in
slant he begins plucking the feathers.
They pull easily then-a minute
later they come hard, but in that one
minute the worst of his task is done.
