Farm Notes.
During damp weather, especially
when northeast storms occur, keep
the hens under shelter, in order to pre-
vent roup in the flock.
Feed your hens meat and induce
them to lay. Eggs will soon be high
in price, and the hens will need egg-
producing food ifthey are expected to
lay.
One good team of heavy horses is
better than two teams of ponies. The
fewer the number the less work of
feeding and managing them is requir-
ed.
When breeding any clgss of stock a |
selection of the breed is the most im- |
portant requisite. Some breeds de-
mand better management than others
and a mistake in selecting the beed may
entail a loss.
Experiments show that any portion
of seed from en ear of corn may be
used for planting, and that there is no
advantage possessed by the butt seed
over the tip seed, nor is the middle
seed better than that from the butts or
tips.
Pumpkins contain 11 per cent. of
solid matter. They are excellent for
cows that are changed from pasture to
dry food. Many dairy-men advise that
the seeds be removed, as they act
on the kidneys. Pumpkins should be
slicea and a little bran, slightly salted,
sprinkled over the pieces.
When crossing for improvement of
the stock the male should always be
pure bred. When a graded male is
used the tendency is to retard improve-
ment. It requires but two or three
seasons to effect a marked improve-
ment on the farm stock if faithful con-
sideration be given to the selection of
the males.
One cannot learn too much about
dairying. There are many details,
and it is very easy to make a mistake.
The best dairymen succeed only by giv-
ing the business close attention and
study. Each individual animal re-
quires particular management, and
success depends upon faithful observ-
ation of every requirement.
The State Board of Agriculture of
New Jersey is fostering the poultry in-
dustry of that State by organizing a
State poulty association. A conven-
tion was held at Trenton on Decem-
ber 4,all poultrymen and county Boards
of Agriculture being invited. The |
poultry business is now one of the most |
profitable in some sections.
Abandoned lands are given over to
sheep, but it is doubtful if it is profit-
able to keep sheep in that manner, |
owing to the loss by dogs and expose:
ure. Ifthe land is cut up into small
fields, the sheep frequently changed
and th : fields plowed, the land will be
improved and some Kind ofa crop can
be raised for the sheep.
Too much land means taxes on that
from which only partial crops can be
obtained. Itis the small plots, well
manared, that yield the profitable
crops. It is more expensive to attempt
to secure large yields from a tract re-!
quiring a portion of the time to be lost
in traveling it than to concentrate all |
the labor on a small area. |
In England the Dorking fowl stands |
|
at the head. It is one of the best table
breeds known. In this country the |
Dorking is tender when young, but har-
dy when matured. The hens make good
layers and wothers,and the males are
superior to all others for capons. Cross-
ing with Asiatic bree’s the resultis a
very superior bird for practical purposes.
Rye straw unbroken, sells better in |
market than that which is broken;
but for bedding, on the farm, it is best
to cut it, as it can then be easily han-
dled when added to the, manure heap.
The fineness of all material enter-
ing into the manure heap is import.
ant as it promotes more rapid decon-
position aud saves labor in handling
the manure in the spring.
If the frost has killed the grass and
weeds and the field is dry, it will do
no injury tothe grass by allowing fire
run over the field, which, however, will
clean it completely and give the young
grass a better appearance in the spring.
It should be done when the ground is
frozen. Straw berry beds are benefit-
ed by burning, and the plants will come
out stronger next season.
A frujt ladder is described by KE. S.
Gilbert in New York Zribunc as fol-
lows : Take a long pole of some light
wood—poplar is good for the purpose—
peel it and bore theholes forthe rounds.
Now saw it lengthwise with a slit saw |
starting a wedge as soon as you have
sawed two feet ; drive it till the pole
begins to split, following with the saw.
or leading the crack with itas it may
be ; this greatly diminishes the work |
of sawing. Leave six feet or so at
the small end without sawing ; slide
a strong iron ring or band down to the
end of the saw cat; drive a thick wedge
into the ring from below until the legs '
are wide enonch apart, put in the
rounds and nail them.
Oue of the best methods of storing
ithe droppings is to use hogsheads, as
‘barrels are uuhandy, an d a number of
them will take up too much room. If
the weather is cold the droppings will
need no dirt or other substance, but
they should be scattered over the ground
as soon as spring opens. No fertilizer
loses its ammonia sooner than poultry
droppings, and for that reason they do
not always give good results. As the
hens eat a large amount of lime, grav-
el, ete., there is quite a proportion of
silica in the droppings, which causes
them to become very hard and insolu-
ble, especially if very dry, quite a long
tine being required for the droppings
to decompase and become soluable
after being applied to the soil.—New
Hawnypshive Mirror.
NESTE AMERICAN
mechanical paper published and has the larg-
Care of the Stove.
There is nothing, says an exchange, |
that induces toward the comfort of the |
kitchen more than a clean well kept |
stove. Regular attendance to the flues |
is essential to the maintenance of a
steady heat. At least once a month
this cleaning of flues and inside of the |
stove should be part of the work. This
insures perfect working of the oven,
which will become slow or hot in re-
sponse to drafts ina way thatis magie-
al to an experienced cook, providing
the stove flues are thus cared for, and |
the chimney is in order. There are a
great many excellent stoves in market.
All first class manufacturers make sev.
eral varieties of cook stoves which are
marvels of construction, to such perfec-
tion has the stove makers skill been
brought. There is no surer indication of
an ignorant cook than the common hab |
it of complaining of the stove. It 1s no
uncommon thing for people otherwise
intelligent to <now nothing about the
mechanical working of a kitchen stove. |
They direct the girl of all work to
manage it in a certain way without
looking into the matter, or knowing, |
or apparently caring, whether such man-
agement gave the best result. There is
a front damper below the fire, usually
a door, a damper that opens directly
over the oven, leading iuto the stove-
pipe and a damper in the stovepipe,
and sometimes others, in every first
class stove.jThe most important are tne
dam per below the fire and the damper
over the oven, leading into the stove-
pipe. Assoou as the fire burns up
well, the upper damper should be
closed,and the dampers below as soon
as the stove is hot enough to be in
working order. The damper in the
stovepipe should not be opened unless
a very hot oven is needed. . After
using the fire at breakfast, clean
the stove off with a heavy cloth, which
should be kept for that purpose, close !
off all the dampers, and the fire will |
last until needed for the noontide meal,
when, by a little raking down and re-
invigorating with fuel, it becomes as
strong as the original tire. No stove
needs blacking oftener than once a
month, provided it is cleaned off’ with
a heavv cloth after each meal.
If greese has been spilt on the stove
it should be cleaned off at once. A
flannel cloth on which a little kerosene
has been poured, will do this more
effectually than anything else,but must
be used rapidly on a warm stove or
the rag will he ignited. The ovens
should be brushed out every morning
with a coarse brush of hair, which
costs about twenty-five cents. The tin
lining of the oven should be kept bright |
by the use of salsoda, water and soap. |
All nickel work about the stove may
be kept bright by kerosene, or soap
water and chamois skin. The edges
of all the best stoves are now ground
off and polished. These edges should
not be blackened, but cleaned off’ with
bath brick or sand soap of some kind.

at the lion, wheel barrow fashion, the bewild-

about. This brought us within a spring of the
lion. I hurled his legs forward over his head
with such force that when they struck the
