Poultry on the Farm.

Prof. Gilbert of Ottawa, Can, in an
swering the the question, why is
poultry valuable to farmer?" gives
the following reasons:
l. Because he ought, by their
means, to convert great deal of the
waste of his farm into money in the
shape of eggs and chickens for market.
2. Because with intelligent manage
ment they ought to be all-year revenue
producers, with the exception of per-
haps two months during the molting
season.
8. Because the poultry will yield him
a quicker return for the capital invested
than any OF the other departments OF
agriculture.
A. Because the manure from the
poultry house will make a valuable
compost for use in either vegetable
garden or orchard The birds them
selves, if allawed to run in plum or ap-
pie orchard, will destroy all injurious
insect life.
5. Because, while cereals and fruits
can only be successfully grown in GER
tain sections, pultry can be raised for
table use or layers of eggs in all parts
of the country.
6. Because poultry raising is an en-
ployment in which the farmers wife
can engage, and leave him free to at.
tend to other departments.
7. Because it will bring the best re-
suits in the shape of new-laid eggs dur.
ing the winter season, when the farm.
er has the most time on his hands.
8. Because to start poultry on the
farm requires little or no capital. &.

Alfalfa for Poultry.

Last year selected plot of rich
garden soil, pulverized the soil as fine
as for an onion bed, then made shall
low burrows two feet apart, and sowed
the alfalfa seed in them with the gar
den seed drill the same way as onion
seed, and about as thick; then walked
over the seed, firming the soil over
them. In week the seed had germi-
mated so that could see the plants in
the rows. ran the wheel cultivator
between them, removed all the weeds,
and replanted vacancies. The wood
ashes from the house were scattered
between the rows, and in the early win
ter the plot was top dressed with fine
manure. l obtained two cuttings the
first year, and third was left on the
ground. This season, judging from
other plots of alfalfr on my p ace, l
shall cut four large crops. Thus l
know from experience that alfalfa is
the best food for the poultry, the COW,
and the horse, that ever used. When
you have obtained all the milk or eggs
you can with other grasses and grain,
you can further increase the yield with
alfalfa, and the COW will leave all other
