Sand cannot take the place Of grit
for your fowls. What they need is
something sharp. The round surface
of grain of sand is not going to 10
much toward cutting the hard outside

other grains.
To increase the egg yield, to cut
down expenses aud to accelerate

but more practical breeders.
For chicken pox or any sore head
an ointment can be made of two parts
lard and one of kerosene.
For soft-shelled eggs give hens
more exercise. Cut out corn and give
vegetables in abundance. An injec-
ton of oil into vent may relieve local
inflammation
White clover is rich in protein and
lime, good for both chicks and hens.
When grass is kept short by a lawn
mower it is much more tender and
better liked.
Let the hens out occasionally when
they can be watched for a scamper
after grasshoppers and grass. They
will not hurt anything after the first
crop is cut.

To Tell if Lime is Needed.

Whether it is lime or humus that
is needed on your land may easily be
determined by dressing a strip across
the field with manure and one at right
angles to that with lime. the manure,
of course, to be plOwed under before
the lime is applied. This should De
done at least a year before sowing
the clover seed. If there is a >is. 5le
improvement in the clover crop On
the lined strip, and especially where
this strip crosses the manured strip
then it may safely be assumed that
lining will pay.
In most field experiments it viii

but in the application of lime to clov-
