Would Exterminate Deer.

Elisha B. Brown, one of Dover's
Wealthiest men and president OF two
banks, in an open letter advocates
the abolition of the closed season for
deer in New Hampshire and their
immediate determination on the
grounds of humanity unless the game
laws are changed to permit the use
of rifles in hunting them and the pro-
hibition of shotguns. Mr.. Brown,
who is agent for the New Hampshire
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
10 Animals, says that many pitiful
cases are reported to him CT mutil-
ated and MANNED deer seen in the
woods and fields. suffering from gum
shot wounds. He has repeatedly
been asked to interfere. and says
that under the law he is helpless to
act. though he knows of deer with
broken legs, jaws shot away and with
other frightful wounds living for
days.

Care of Ewes.

A sheep breeder referring to his
own experience says that breeding
ewes should be kept in good condi-
tion but not too fat, yet well fleshed
eve, he says, will always give the
best lamb and take care of it better
after birth: In producing this flesh
on the ewes care should be taken
that they have plenty of exercise, for
if they are fed heavily and kept in
close quarters, many cases of sterility
are apt to develop. Many sheep
raisers prefer the custom of feeding
only twice a day, although at least a
small amount of roughage should
be in the feed racks nearly all the
time. Among the common foods,
clover hay, corn fodder, oat hay and
millet can always be fed to advan-
tage, although if the seed is pretty
well developed in the latter it should
not be fed in too great quantities.
Turnips, cabbage, or any other sue
culent crops are almost a necessary
factor in profitable sheep feeding,
although their use can partially be
done away with where the silo is on
the farm. Too much silage or any
other succulent food is liable to pro-
duce weak lambs, but small amount
fed once a day will prove highly

Pea Fowls For the Barn.

In answer to subscriber, Wal
lace's Farmer says:
The peacock has for so long been
grown only for its beauty of plum
age rather than for its table excel
lence that it is considered not fowl
for the farm but rather for the park
and lawn. Pea fowls make very
gentle pets, and if well cared for and
we'll fed they will remain about the
house and lawn; if neglected, they
rove after the manner of turkeys.
The cocks have been known to at
tack children, and both cocks and
hens are very quarrelsome with
chickens, sometimes killing and eat
ing newly Matched chicks. Like tur-
keys, the cock Is mated to from three
to six hens. They do not reach full
size until two years old, and make
the best breeders after that age.
The hen begins to lay in March or
April, and carries her young the enc
tire year. Pea fowls cannot be pro.
fitably raised under hens, as they arc
least ready for weaving when the
chicken hen leaves them. The young
chicks are raised on the same diet
given to turkeys. They seem to re-
quire live animal food of some kind,
worms, bugs, grasshoppers, etc. When
the hen is ready for mating, along in
February, she beats off her chicks.
Owing to the immense quantity OF
feathers which the peacock has to
renew at molting time, this season
is very hard on him, and he requires
abundant nourishment. The loss OF
his beautiful plumage seems to hu-
initiate his excellency greatly; he
seeks secluded places out Of sight OF
his mates, and remains in seclusion
until the molt is over.
A young pea fowl of either sex is
more delicious eating than a turkey,
but the day when the brains Of pea
cocks was a favorite dish for royal
ty, and when 1.-THE carcasses Of three
fat wethers were bruised for gravy
to make sauce for a single peacock"
is long since past.
Pea fowls will eat anything, and
may be fed as other poultry. They
are long-lived, instances being record
ed of pea fowls reaching the age of
thirty years.

Handling the Manure.

1t has come to be understood very
we'll that the manure on the farm
is one of the things to be carefully
looked after and properly handled.
In referring to this matter Hoard's
Dairyman says:
Is it better to let manure remain
in the barnyard in large heaps and
haul it out twice a year, spring and
fall, or is it best to haul it as fast
as made? What are the advantages
of the latter system? We must re-
member that the manure is never
so rich in fertilizing value as when
first made. 1t must waste some of
its value anyway, but hauled out as
fast as made, it wastes less than in
any other way. If piled in large
heaps under shelter, it wastes, accord
ing to recent experiments, eighteen
per cent. If piled up in the open air,
it wastes 21.7 per cent. From spring
to fall we are obliged to let the ma
nure accumulate in the barnyard.
But to prevent as much as possible,
we sprinkle over it twice or three
times a week, ground phosphate
rock. We want the phosphate in the
soil, and we want to prevent evapo-
ration, while there is nothing that
makes the phosphate more available
than the fermentation Of organic
matter. So we accomplish three
things in this way. But from the
time the cattle are stabbed in the fall
till the ground is too soft for wagon
wheels in spring, the manure is
hauled daily to the fields that are
to be plowcd for corn.
The advantages of this system are:
G) The manure is hauled and spread
when the labor will cost the least.
(2) We have the clean barnyards.
90 We secure the least loss from
fermentation and evaporation.
For the summer accumulation, we
find the largest value in hauling it
out on to alfalfa or clover sod in the
fall, plowing it under at once. On
this land we plant either corn or po-
tatoes the next spring.
But the wise farmer will make
generous provision for the keeping
up of fertility in his land. He will
not be afraid TO buy commercial fer
tilizers like ground phosphate rock,
or plow under in the fall good stand
Of clover or alfalfa. Every dollar
he spends in this way will bring ten
in return.

The Composition Of Eggs.

If the poultry keeper knows the
composition of eggS he will better
understand how toi feed to furnish
the proper food elements needed to
produce them. Scientists have found,
after many analyses, that eggs con-
tain about fifty per cent. water, sew
enteen per cent protein and thirty
three per cent. carbohydrates.
There is only 7bout twice s.1 as much 81:
carbohydrates as protein, while in
most grain there are from six to ten
times as much Wheat bran, which
is considered very rich i'll protein.
contains more than three times as
much carbohydrates AS protein.
Wheat contains nearly seven times as
much; oats, five times; corn, nine
times, and larley, eight times. Oil
