Farm Notes.
If nize men fail at poultry farming,
and the tenth one succeeds, does it aot
look as if the tenth fellow knew his
business ?
Incubators “that a child can run’,
are too handy to have in the house.
Such easy machines are merely built to
run, and not to hatch.
If the ground becomes frozen thema- |
nure will be washed away by rain or
melting snow unless the ground is lev-
el. Itis best to spread manure on
freshly plowed ground during a warm
spell and harrow in.
The richest land on the farm may
be that which is not cultivated, simply |
because of lack of drainage. The swamp
land is full of alluvial soil, and can be |
made to grow all kinds of crops if
draired and cleared.
Do vot disturb the onions or onion
sets if they are frozen. The handling
of them when in a fozen condition is
detrimental. Allow them to gradually
thaw, and keep them where they were |
originally stored.
A steer at the Chicago Fat Stock |
Show gained over three pounds per day
to the age of 322 days. The greatest |
gain with steers is when they are un- |
der two years old, the average gain be-
ing about two pounds per day to that
age.
But few cows on the farm give suffi- |
cient milk to produce 200 pounds of
butter per year, aud even with that pro-
duction they do not pay. To discard
such cows, or grade up the herd, is the
only way to make a profit from dairy-
ing.
From five to seven pecksof seed wheat
are used, but it is doubtful if thick
sowing has any advantages. A stock
of wheat should have room to grow
and mature, and it should have the
food within reach. Too many plants
together do not always thrive.
The curry-comb is never more useful
than in the winter. It is a pretty use-
ful thing any time. It should be used
carefully, however, at times. The man
who uses a sharp curry comb as he
would a spade in digging had betterjnot
use one at all.
It isan old saying that every one must
eat his peck of dirt. Those who use
the milk that comes from a cow cover-
ed with filth, and milked by a man
whose hands have not been washed
clean for a quarter of a century, get
their share of dirt in quick order.
In selecting breeds be governed first
by your individual fancy, and then fix
upon a family noted for hardy consti-
tutions. Don’t begin with weak, puny
stock. The first’ cost may be a trifle
more, but the year’s work is in the
balance, and that means much to the
breeder.
The skin of animals is an excretory
organ. Now, if the pores are filled
with dirt the organ canno’ perform its
" office efficiently. Keep the skin as
clean as possible. This may be done
partially by keeping bedding clean,
keeping dirt from sifting down from
above, currying, ete.
The village butcher who buys the
farmer's hogs and retails them from
the block in almost every instance
makes a greater profit than the grower
dare think of. The farmer can save
some of this profit to himself by learn-
ing to make a fancy article of meat for
summer use. Do it, and quit howl-
ing about hard times.
In summing up some of the results
of his work with fodders, Dr. Goessman,
of the Massachusetts Agricultural Col-
lege, says that their milk and
cream records show that the fodder
corn, corn stover and corn ensilage,
when fed pound for pound of dry mat-
ter, in place of English hay, compare
well as far as the quality and the quan-
tity of the milk and of the cream ob-
tained is concerned.
Rough land alone will not support
sheep. Sheep will find much that may
be utilized by them on such lands, but
a good feed of grain should be given at
night also. As the sheep will eat ten-
der herbage of all kinds and industri-.
ously forage for all that can be had,
they serve to keep down weeds and
suckers, but such food will not answer
for them exclusively.
It is better to apply the manure thick
than to attempt to make it go as far as
possible by spreading it on in thin lavers.
In one case it must nourish more plants
than it possesses nutrition for the pur-
pose, and in the other case the plants
will have a sufficiency and produce
more than if the supply in deficient.
Plants waste a portion of the manure in
the growth of stalks and leaves that are
unsalable, and if they can be made to
yield more at less expense of growth the
manure will give better results and the
profit will be greater,
The American Cultivator says that
some farmers argue that itis best to
set posts in the fall, when the ground
is solid. Ot course, a post carefully set
at any time will remain in its place;
but fall is really a much worse time
than in the spring. Digging the hole
makes the soil loose, and if done in the
fall it has not time to become compact
again. Water filters down through
the loose soil, which will raise the
st a little every vear until it throws
it out altogether. Ifthe soil has time
to settle it absorbs less . moisture, and
after the first year, if the heaving out
has not already begun, it will rarely
begin.

AVEYOU READ THE PHILA-
DELPHIA TIMES THIS MORNING ?
THE TIMES is the most extensively circula-
ted and widely read newspaper published
in Pennsylvania, Its discussion of pub-
lic men and pnblic measures is in the in-
terest of public integrity, honest govern-
ment and prosperous industry, and it
knows no party or personal allegience in
treating public issues. In the broadest
and best sense a family and general news
paper.
THE NEWS OF THE WORLD. The times
has all the faculties of advanced journal-
ism for gathering news from all quarters
of the Globe, in addition to that of the As-
sociated Press now covering the whole
world in its scope, making it the perfec-
tion of a newspaper, with every thing care-
fully edited to occupy the smallest space.
THE SUNDAY EDITION is not only a com-
plete newspaper, but a Magazine of Pop-
ular literature. Its sixteen large pages,
clearly printed and attractively illustrated,
contain as much good liternture, by the
foremost writers of the world, as any of the
popular monthlies. Some of the news
papers in New York, Boston and Chicago
print a great number of pages on Sunday
but these are for the most part occupied by
advertisements. The merchants in those
cities concentrated nearly all their adver-
tising in the Sunday papers, while in Phil-
adelphia they have found it more advan-
tagous to advertiee on week days as well,
CONTRIBUTORS to the Sunday eddition of
The Times inlcude many of the foremost
names in contemporary literature, both
American and European. Its contents
cover the whole field of human interest]
with all that is freshest and best in
Politics, Fiction.

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS—No other newspa-
per gives the same careful attention to the
needs and tastes of young readers. The
page devoted especially to them com-
mands the services of the best writers and
is edited with scrupulous care, with the
aim of making it entertaining and instrue-
tive and helpful to the sound education as
well as tothe pure amusement of both big
and little boys and girls.
THE ILLUSTRATIONS of the Times are re-
cognized as the very best printed in any
daily newspaper. and, with the elegance of
typography for which the Times is noted,
add to its popularity among the masses.
THE TIMES aims to have the largest circula-
tion by deserving it, and claims that it is
unsurpassed in all the essentials of a great
metropolitan newspaper.
