MARKET CoCKERELs AT
WEIGHT OF TWO POUNDS

Farmers or poultrymen will find 1t
more profitable to market young
coclSerels when they reach a weight
Of two pounds rather than to feed
tine birds until late foil or early
winter, according to results secured in
feeding tests at the Ohio Experiment
Station. The experiments show that
at least ten pounds of grain must be
fed to produce a pound Of gain and 1t
Is doubtful whether grain should be
utilized for meat production through
poultry.
On the average the feed necessary
TO grow the birds to maturity will cost
4 cents a pound; thus unless the poul-
try producer has a special market for
the heavier birds the price secured
next fail may not pay for the feed
given the fowls.
Young cockerels marketed now as
broilers generally bring an attractive
price; then tho flock may at once be
fed with n view of developing winter
egg producers, the poultry specialists
point out.

LIME IN OLD PLASTER.

When a ceiling falls, as they some
times do. there is the slight consola-
ton that the old plaster can be used
to advantage in the garden,
The idea of using old plaster in
gardens was suggested in these
columns some time ago. It was
promptly challenged by a writer in
an agricultural Journal, who said that
plaster was largely composed of sand
which had 70 value, and the lime in
the plaster was not available. mean
ing, supposedly. Immediately avail
able-alf OF which is true. but 1t does
not alter the fact that old plaster
has its value when spread over the
soil of garden.
A year ago II was necessary to have
the plaster removed from the ceilings
of three large rooms. The plaster
was put in barrels for carting away
and an offer to save the contractor
this trouble WAS promptly accepted.
The plaster was old and hard as
stone. No effort was made to crush
II except large pieces. The plaster
was spread over the garden and the
large Jumps were broken with a blow
of the spade. The whole was then
spaded under. In the spring the land
was spaded a second time.
After year most OF the Jumps arc
soft and have crumbled. Now the
lime is available.
The soil Is clay and inclined to be
acid. The lime will neutralize the
acid and "sweeten the soii," as II 4.

Importation of Plants to Be Prohibited

BLACKBIRDs VALUABLE.

This spring while ploughing for po-
tatoes I was followed around the lot
by a flock of blackbirds, and out of Gu
riosity I watched them to see what
they were after and found that, they
were gathering up every grub in sight,
and there were lots Of them. A neigh
boris boy came over where I was at
work, and on seeing the birds started
to drive them off. stopped him and
showed him what they were doing. He
thought that It would pay me to feed
the birds so an to keep them on the

sight to have spoiled good lot of

Not so many years ago, when Chi
cago was further away from New York

ard Sears, young man. came East
from one OF the more distant States OF
the plains and opened n small Office in
Chicago. He advertised TO send

Sears worked rapidly all day and
frequently into the night. His goods

grouped for convenience in handling

HOME SEED SAVING.

Good results from home seed saving
are sometimes obtained. but without
the most intelligent selection and care
the experiment Is rarely repeated.
All cultivated plants have been i'm
proved from inferior forms and have a
pronounced tendency to detertorate or
revert TO the original form. Seed
growers maint>in constant watchful-
ness and exercise the greatest care 10
see that no retrograde or untrue speci-
men is allowed to remain to produce
its seeds. The growing crops, are
arefu,ly watched and all imperfect
Jlants are destroyed.
Dealers now employ men to grow
heir seeds who make a speciality OF
hat one crop and know the best plants
jr inferior ones at a glance. and they
work constantly to improve the strain.
Another consideration Is that to get
pure seeds the work of bees must be
considered. If seeds are wanted true
not more than one variety OF squash
may be grown in any one year. When
nelghboring gardens abound with diff
ferent varieties OF cabbage. squash.
cucumbers and other plants mixtures
are almost certain to result.
The seedsmen keep related crops far
apart such as squash. pumpkins and
melons; onions and leeks: cabbage,
kale and Brussels sprouts; turnips
| and swedes. sc. Peas are an excep-
ton. being self-fertilized, and II the
| seed is picked over by hand the seed
should give good results where several
| varieties are grown together.
OF course. different families will
not cross, such as onions with carrots.
parsnips, beets. &C.
To make seed saving a success every
Inferior plant must be weeded out and
he seed taken from well grown, per-
'ect speciI iens. II seeds are saved
rom inferior plants the result will be
| backwards.

The largest grower OF kentias in
the country, Henry A. Dreer sowed
eleven hundred bushes of kentia seeds
during the past ten years and during
the same peroid has imported $3.50, 900
worth of kentia plants from England
Scotland and Belgium. The difficulties
in raising these plants in this country
make 1t necessary for this grower to
have free access for importing, and

CURING MEAT.

The principal preservatives used in
curing meat are salt, sugar and
molasses. Salt preserves the mea,
through its astringent and slightly
germicidal action. 1t hardens the
muscle fibres and draws the moisture
from the meat. Sugar and molasses
have almost the opposite effect; they
cause the retention of the moisture
Of the meat and keep the muscle fibre
soft and tender. Salt and sugar are
commonly used together because OF
this opposite action. Chemical pre-.
servatives are to be avoided. Ever
saltpeter must be used with caution.
Pork Ia by no means the only meat
which may be successfully preserved
though 1t Is the one usually preserved
Beef may be successfully dried and
