WHY IS POULTRY vALUABLE7
Professor Gilbert of Canada Gives
Eight Good Reasons in Answer
to Pertinent Question.

Why Is poultry valuable to the
farmer? is a question asked by nun
dreds OF tillers of the soil who usu-
ally keep but a few chickens, and
these a mixture of all breeds. Profess
sor Gilbert Of Ottawa, Canada, gives
the following reasons In answer to
this pertinent question::
1. Because he ought, by their meana
to convert a 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 reve-
nue. producers, with the exception OF
possibly two months during the moult-
ing season.
3. Because the poultry will yield him
q quicker return for the capital in
vested than any of the other depart
ments OF agriculture.
4. Because the from the
poultry house will make a valuable
composite for use in either vegetable
garden or orchard. The birds them
selves, If allowed, will destroy all in
furious insect life.
s. Because, while cereals and fruits
can only be successfully grown in GER
tain sections, poultry can be raised
for table use or layers Of eggs in any
and every part of the country, and
at all seasons.
6, Because poultry raising is an en-
ployment in which the farmers wife
can engage and leave him free to at
ten to other departments of farm
work.
7. Because it will bring the best re.
suits In the shape Of new-laid eggs
during the winter season, when the
farmer has the most time on his
hands.
8. Because to start poultry on the
farm requires very little capital.

Boston Marrow Squash.

only the most vigorous, and these al
ways produced a good crop, writes
Clinton Vannah in the Orange Judd
Farmer.
An excellent old-fashioned way to
raise cucumbers and melons In the
kitchen garden is to dig a circular
hole in the ground from six to ten
inches deep and three feet cross In
the center of the excavation place on
end a nail cask with both ends
knocked out. Then fill the space
around the outside of the cask with
a compost of good loan and rotted
stable manure, or droppings from the
hennery we'll ~pulyerized and thorough
ly mixed with the earth. Cover the
compost with two or three inches OF
cask.
Fill the cask with muck, or light
manure from the horse stable, that
will hold moisture like a sponge. In
case of drouth, water may be poured
into the cask freely, it will not evap-
crate readily, and gives a gradual
supply to the plants as they require.
Small holes should be bored through
the slaves Of the cask to allow out
ward seepage of water.
II the ground is naturally inclined
to dampness no excavation below the
level should be made. Place the cask
m the surface and build a mound of
compost around it. To give the vines
freedom Of growth the casks should
be set eight OF nine feet apart eacn
way.

Mango in horses is much more diff
cult to treat than scab in sheep OF
common mango in cattle. Prevention
Of infection with the disease is safer
and more satisfactory. There is no
best all around treatment, even for
lice on stock. The class Of stock,
physical condition of the animals, and
season Of the year determine the kind
of treatment most advisable.

Food for Cows.

After a COW becomes fresh In milk
the first feed to give her is a warm
bran mash. This, besides being
strengthening, is Of general benefit.
1t is a good idea to cut down the
meal ration on the cows, beginning
some four weeks before calving and
at that time increase the moun OF
bran. Corn meal makes animal heat,
but bran is cooling to the system.
