One of the causes for weak lambs Is

WHY is POULTRY VALUABLE7
Professor Gilbert Of Canada GIvss
Eight Good Reasons In Answer
to Pertinent Question.

Why Ia poultry valuable to the
farmer? is a question asked by hun
dreds OF tillers of the soil who usu
ally keep but 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:
l. Because he ought, by their means
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
a quicker return for the capital In
vested than any of the other depart
ments of agriculture.
a. Because the manure 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.
8. Because, while cereals and fruite
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, ant
at all seasons.
6. Because poultry raising ia an EN-
ployment in which the farmers wifi,
can engage and leave him free to at
tend to other departments OF farm
work.
Z. Because it will bring the best re
suits in the shape OF new-laid egg
during the winter season, when tn
farmer has the most time on hi
4 hands.
| s. Because to start poultry on tn
| farm requires very little capital.

PROPAGATION OF
GRACEFUL FERNS
Enterprising Lover of Plants viii
Find II Interesting to Do
Work by Spores.

The enterprising fern lover will find
1t most interesting to propagate by
spores, and perchance produce a real
ly valuable addition to these beautiful
and graceful plants.
The ordinary way to propagate this
class OF plants is by dividing the
plants. by the creeping rhizomes. by
the little bulblets that form on the
fronts, and by the seeds or spores that
appear on the underside OF the leaves.
Procure seed pan OF box with
plenty OF drainage holes. and cover
the bottom with broken crockery. On
this place half decayed sod. and fill
with carefully mixed and sifted leaf
mold and sand. Make the surface of
the soil perfectly smooth and level,
and then scatter the spores on 1t. and
leave them without any covering. that

enclosed in glass by placing pane OF
glass over the seed box or pan.

water, and keep it there until the wa
ter appears on the surface Of the soil
Then removed at once. for too much
water will destroy the spores. KeeI

HILLY PASTURES FOR SHEEP
Low Wet Ground 10 Conductive to
Foot Rot-Feet Should Be Ex-
amIned and Hoof Trimmed.

The sheep is a highland animal by
nature. Low wet ground is injurious
to its feet The Sleeps toes are very
flexible. Between the toes OF each
foot is an oil duct, whit pours oil
between the toes SO as to reduce fric-
ton. In low. soft ground the mud
soueezes between the toes and clogs
this duct The toes will spread quite
far apart and so easily that the plate
OF mud accumulates and hardens and
irritation is set up which results In
nus formation that finally sloughs on
the hoofs II not cured. or course this
does not happen every time a sheep
gets muddy feet But II compelled to
live in mud. there comes a time when
the mud lodges with injurious results.
We are not sure that foot rot Is a
bacterial disease. II may be so. Sure
ly a bacterial infection could readily
enter after the Inflammation becomes
chronic. Sheep have little resisting
mower over their enemies so little
ailment does great damage.
When your sheep get to hmping or
walking stifr. examine the feet. II
may be they only need their hoofs
trimmed. II dry mud Is between the
toes clean 1t out and rub little
grease between the toes. Then see
that they have clean dry place
where no mud exists. give your
sheep the billy pastures and not the

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 across. 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

~ mixed with the earth. Cover the
compost with two or three inches OF
loan. and plant the seed near the
cask
Fill the cask with muck. or light
manure from the horse stable. that
will hold moisture like sponge. In
case OF drouth, water may be poured
into the cask freely. 1t will not evap
crate readily. and gives 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 casl
on the surface and build mound Of
compost around It To give the vines
freedom OF growth the casks should
