FARM NOTES,

The chickens told me to tell you:
To dig up six inches Of the poison
earth in their house. and carry il
away beyond their range, and fill in
with pure, dry earth.
To raise the earth one foot higher
in their house than it is on the
outside, so it would keep dry in damp
weather.
10 fix the roofs of their house
and shed or the house would be wet
and cold and thus cause them to get
sick.
TO put in new roosts ks, planed
and painted en- both sides. and fonr
feet from the ground, so they would
be comfortable and happy.
To take ont and burn the dropping
boards so they would not be sick
by breathing the impure air from
the droppings so near them.
To cover the ground under the
roosts with straw and burn it OF
every two weeks with gasoline, and
then rake out the droppings and
carry them off beyond their range,
and put in clean straw.
To keep the droppings away from
their range, or the little chicks would
eat the worms from the droppings
and take tie gapes.
To keep plenty of crushed oyster
shell before them in winter, so they
would have material out OF which 10
make their egg shells.
To 60 where an old house is being
torn down and get wheel-barrow OF
old plaster, and put it in their shed
for them to eat in winter.
To provide them with a clean lay
ing house, so that they would not
have to lay in their roosting house.
otherwise the delicious flavor of their
eggs would be ruined by the impure
air penetrating the shell and this
causing the flavor of the egg to be
changed.-Southern Poultry Mage

AN ARGUMENT FOR SHEEP.

Ordinary or less than ordinary
grass land is often more profita5ly
stocked with mixed animals. A sheep
bites the sweet young grass so close
that no other animal can get any.
but the sheep leaves the long coarse
grass Of other parts for the healthy
and hungry cow, whose complicated
digestive apparatus can deal with
any coarse foods. hence the most
parsimonious stock dealer has some
difficulty to starve COW or to dam.

erness Of diet.
Perhaps sheep suffers most, the
fattening flock going back rapidly IN
time OF drought or any other insult
able weather, and the breeding fiocks
suffering from abortion and other ills
when hardship or scarcity Of food Is
their unhappy portion.
During a month Of bad time the
wool grows weak and the buyer gives
less for the fleeces, because the
weak link in the chain Is the true
test Of its strength.
In all classes OF horses It Is a decii.

they are generally .dwarfs, but there
is no disadvantage in small sheep,
as small joints are now in great re-
quest, and the quaint old saying

good.

SHAkESPEARE'S LAW.
Citations to Show That He Was in the
Fashion of His Time.

Fashion of His Time.
No ordinary reader OF Shakespeare S
works can fail to be struck by the
copious and overcoming legal
phraseology with which they are filed
Not only are law terms frequently
employed with an almost professional
correctness to give color and Intensity
to his sentences, but whole scenes
are taken up with illusions to or dis
customs on purely legal matters, as in
THE Merchant of Venice Henry
"" and the grave scene in "Hamlin,
not to mention other plays. So pro-
found, indeed, is the knowledge dis
played all through that no less on
authority on the subject than Lord
Campbell has told us that to Shakes
peare's law, lavishly as he propounds
it, there can neither be demurrer, nor
bill of exceptions, nor writ OF error"
To this marked feature of the works
more than to any other one might per-
haps with justice attribute the very
origin of the whole Baconian theory.
The point is naturally of extreme I'M
portance in the eyes of those whose
only knowledge of the literature OF
the period is confined to Shakes
speare's writings; but that Importance
shrinks rapidly to insignifcance after
a course of reading through the gem
eral dramatic literature of the time,
in which, as a matter of fact, legal
Smiles and illusions are found to oc-
cur with about the same frequency as
in Shakespeare's works. So strong,
indeed, is the legal coloring OF all
stage writing at the time that one
is forced to believe that law talk must
have been mere common among lay
men in those days, and especially
among laymen of p!aygoing DISPOSE
ton, than it has ever been during
any period since. There are indlca-
lions besides that some critics were
getting tired of all this legal jargOn-
Decker, for instance, who writes:
There is another ordinary, at
which your London usurer, your stale
bachelor and your thrifty attorney do
resort; the price, three pence; the
rooms as full of company as a Jail.
If they chance to discourse, 1t
is of nothing but statutes, bonds, rec
ognizances, fines, recoveries, audits,
rents, subsidies, sureties, enclosures,
liveries, indictments, outlawries, feoff-
ments, judgments, commissions, bank
rupts, amercements, and of such hor-
rible matter" -GulPs Horn Book
1909.
TOurneur also:
There are old men at the present,
That are so poison'd with tn affecta-
ton
OF law words, having had many suits
canvass'd,
That their common talk is nothing but
barb'rous.
Latin: They cannot so much as pray,
but
In law, that their sins may be re-:
mov'd, with
A writ of error, and their souls
fetch'd up
To heaven with certiorari."
-Revenger's Tragedy.
There is therefore no more difficulty
in Shakespeares case touching his
of law than in the case
OF any other playwright Of his age
From the Nineteenth Century.

SELECTING THE LAYERS.

~
1t is just as impossible to tell how
good a layer a hen is going to be as
it is to anticipate the quantity OF
milk heifer will produce before she
comes in with her drGt calf. Trap
nesting is the aniy way ,pf telling e1'
actly what hen = dpfng in the egg
producing line, but even that is in
capable Of delv.2S into the future
and showing how long or how regu'
larly she is going to lay. Besides.
the trap-nest requires too much time
for the farmer to find it practicable.
Observation is about the only
guide for the farmer to go by. With
this method there is no fixed rule
that can be stated to always have
certain meaning, but it is fact that
hens differ individually as we'll as by
breeds, and a knowledge OF their III
dividual characteristics, gained by
constant association with them and
careful observation of their traits,
often is worth great deal
The hen that is always active and
busy, full of life and ready to scratch
and make the dust fly. is usually
good layer. This is because her active
habits keep her in the proper condf
ton for laying. Hence, we may ad-
wise, in selecting, let the busy, active
hen be retained: and it will also be
noticed that such hens are usually
the first to be off the perches in the
morning and the last to retire at
night-keeping on the move for just
as great part Of the day as they
possibly can.
A bright red comb and watt!es
and happy disposition are good
signs, while bright eyes and clean
feathers are also sometimes credited
with denoting certain good traits. All
hens have bright red combs when be-
ginning to lay, but usually information
of this kind is of most service when
it can be secured in advance. This
is the rub
Doubtless the best method is to
breed for good layers. The way to
do this is to select the best layers
every year, mating with them male
bird from a strain o; known good
layers. This is the shortest road that
leads towards heavy egg production.
and also the surest. When the farm
er finds lot of drones in his flock,
the thing to do is to get rid of them
as quickly as possible and breed
from only the remaining good ones.
The rule that likes begets like"
holds good with poultry just as
strongly as with horses or cattle, and
a full realization of this fact should
lead to the production of better
stock. 1t is also important that the
male bird be given the same careful
consideration as the females, as it
has been well-proven that the trait
of heavy laying is often transmitted
through the male bird; and remem-
Der that the male bird is the sire of
all the chicks you shall raise, and in
this respect his influence equals, ap-
proximately, that of all the females
with which he is mated.-R. B. San
do, in the Epitomist.

POOR COW STABLES.

The subject of COW stalls is one
of the most important dairy studies.
As cows are ordinarily stabbed, their
condition is anything but what it
should be. Poor, miserable stables
cold and damp and badly ventilated
prevail. There must be low order
of intelligence amongst the poorer
dairymen to permit such conditions.
1t is common to see cows standing
on dilapidated old floor, without
bedding enough to make a decent
hens nest, and their hind feet half
an inch deep in filth. How any man
can expect to produce clean, SAM.
tary milk under such conditions is
a mystery. The probabilities are
that good many so-called dairymen
don't expect to do so. They don't
care so long as they get their money
for the product, and the trouble is
we haven't inspectors with honesty
enough or backbone enough to show
up conditions as they actually eS-
ist. We have few very good dairy
and who turn out good product, but
their good work is discounted by the
miserable fellows who conduct their
business in such slovenly manner
as to bring a discredit upon the whole
dairy fraternity.
1t may be little easier to use
some old contraption Of a stable
that some ignorant farmer built twen-
ty or thirty years ago than 1t is to
get at 1t and tear the bottom out
and build something right and de.
cent, but dairyman worthy Of the
name will manage in some way to
keep his cows in a clearly, sanitary
condition-Epitomist.
CAUSE OF SCALY LEG.
Scaly leg is caused by a parasite
that lives among the scales
on the shanks of fowls.
At first they may cause a
thickening Of the scales, but later the
shanks become so encrusted with the
scales that they are double their orig.
inal size. These, together with dir.
and Nth, present disgusting sight.
This is a trouble that is easily cured
One ounce of sulphur rubbed into ten
ounces Of vaseline will make a good
ointment that will cure it. This
should be applied every other evening
for a week Some make stocking
