FARM NOTES
Youxa CnickeNs -Chickens should
be fed at least four times a day until
they axe twelve weeks old, and for the
next few weeks three times a day.
TlLen separate from the rest all the pul-
lets and as many of the best cockerels
as will be needed for breeders, and feed
them and the old fowls twice a day.
The remaining cockerels should be al- |
lowed to range only in a good-sized |
yard, and should be still fed three times |
a day. If possible to avoid doing so,
never feed corn-meal clear, but mix |
with it one-half its bulk of shorts or |
fine feed. For chickens the finer the
feed the better. If itis wet with hot |
water and allowed to cool before feed- |
ing, it is best, Feed corn, oats, oat-
meal, cracked corn, meat, etc. Do not
feed chickens wheat until they are at
least five or six weeks old.
In cold weather, or when
sonfined, feed plenty of scraps, shell,
ground bone and cut hay, Let the last |
stand In water several hours after being |
cut before feeding.

Ix fruit-growing remember that fruit
are like grain and vegetable craps in
this, that they mast have manure to
keep up the fertility. Unlike vege-
tables and grain. however, their feeding
roots are mostiy at the serface. It is
best, therefore, annually to top-dress
fruit trees, If manure cannot be had
any fresh earth from ditches or road-
sides spread a half an inch or so under
the trees will have a wonderful effect.
ndeed, we do not know but that for
the pear tree a thin layer of road sand
is one of the best of manures, We
have seen apples thrive amazingly with

correspondent who has had experience
in keepigg bees says that the old way
of allowing bees to cast swarms when-
ever they are inclined to do is better
among beekeepers, He calls the first
“(;od's way’’ and the latter *"Man's
way? of doing things: He says
early in spring, when the bees and
flowers are ready for operation, they
work with a will to fill them.
that his colonies do nct all cast swarms
in a season, and nearly one-half of the
strongest stock continue to work stor.

that the system of dividing colonies
and frequently disturbing the bees dur-

HoLsTEIN cattle seem to be giving
splendid satisfaction in all parts of the
world, says an exchange, If a man
desires to buy cattle for milk, butter,
cheese and beef, Holsteins fill the bill,

Stew one pound of prunes in enough
water to cover them until they are |
quite soft, While they are cooking |
soak one ounce of gelatine in a little

Remove the seeds from the |
prunes and then put the prunes into
the sauce pan; simmer for ten minutes,
