Write it and tend it to the " Agricultural Editor of the DIMOCRAT, Helle/onte, Fenn'a," that other former, tnay have the benefit of it. Let communication be timely, and be eure that tkey art brief and well pointed. When to Begin Keeping Poultry. There is no iloubt that & well kept flock of poultry is the most profiia ble of all fsrm stock. Rut a little flock well kept, like a little farm well tiller), brings the most profit to the fsrnicr. Just as many as can be kept ( without crowding, and with ease and convenience, will be the most proflta- j ble. Poultry will not bear crowding i any more than sheep or pigs or peo ple, and it is well known that when I any of tbosc are too closely kept > disease appears and works mischief. | It is a necessity of the case, because I cleanliness must be sacrificed to j , necessity. We would not put more than 50 j fowls in one yard, nor confine tbem in a yard ail the time. Success with poultry Is totally impossible with j close confinement. The fowls must | have a run abroad at least half a day | ! and a grass run is the best. There : they secure sn abundance of insects, ' as grasshoppers, flics, crickets, bee- , ties caterpillars, ants, and worms, all of which are their natural food. Hut on a farm the number of fowl* mast not exceed the litnists of ground pro vided for them, or, like Mr. Micaw-j tier's financial condition, it will pro duce misery. When this gentleman kept bis expenses within balf a cent of bis income his comfort and plean. ; ure were unbounded. The half-cent ! was a perpetual joy to him. Hut wbi n he went half cent beyond hi* j income life was a burden. Tbe debt was a source of misery. Tbe princi ple applies strictly to poultry-keep ing. One ben too few, and health, I comfort and wclvh abound. One hen too many, and disease, death and lost results. The line may be drawn right there, for it is so narrow 'and so straight tb.t it is quite a easily over- i stepped as that. : Hut as with other live stock, there ' arc good and bad. profitable and un profitable, fowls. And we should get tin beat. If a dairyman were to be gin business he would buy cows and not calves. In the one case bis pro flu would begin si once ; in the other bis expenses only would begin, and hit proftu would be in the future. It 11 is the same with fowls. If one pro- ! cures a doxen egg* of some good kind to begin with, be must s|>end a year and aocnc money before any income be made. For the priee of two set- > lings of eggs a trio of fowls can be procured, and while tbe eggs were : batching and tbe chicks rearing tie j two hens would lay a buodred or two ( of eggs and rear 20 chicks them sehes. Thus it is easy to get into j i stock quickly and at less cost by pro curing fowls than by getting eggs. And this is tbe season fur beginning. ! Kariy pullets can be purchased now ' quite cheaply, while in tbe spring no breeder will sell tbem because tbey are making bim n profit. lu January or February they wiM begin and if n few common bens can be procured for brooders, a large nutn number of chicks can be hatched In March by good management. That in by having a warm place especially for the bens, where they will not be disturbed by anything, and if need be by putting a small stove in it to keep it warm. A large sunny win dow on tbe south side is ve*y desira ble. Young chicks are susceptible to cold, and a warmth will cover a mul titude of mistakes and dangers. AN Fnglisb farmer says : "I have more than once freed my fields en tirely from wire-wofins by sowing a crop of white mustard seed. I once sowed a whole field of forty odd acres which bad not yet repaid me for many years in consequence of every crop being destroyed by tbe wireworm, to white mustard. lam warranted in saying that not a single wireworm conld he found the follow ing yesr, and tbe succeeding ciop of whcr.t wax a Bos one.'' , * A Diacuawlon of the Boat Kinds of Manure It is not an unusual question to be aaked, especially by those who have small gardens and yards, as to tbe best kinds of manure for particular plants and crops, and oftener (ban any other of that to apply to grape vines. To us, who have gone through all those things, the inquiry seems to be about on par as to the beat mate rial for making a suit of clotLes. So long as tbey keep us warm and com fortable, all the rest is little less than taste and convenience. In regard to plant fixid any decaying organic mat ter is good enough ; and when one is on a well managed farm where the manure heap in the barnyard is equal to any demand upon it, we never think of looking anywhere else for the necessary fertilising substance. Whether it be tbe corn or wheat crop, flowers in the yard or lawn, vegeta bles in the garden, trees in the orch an, g ra l>eB, apples, pears, or straw berries—all readily sit and eat at a common table and give thanks equal ly after meat. Wc shall not deny that it is possi ble that some one manure may be belter for one particular or special crop than another. Indeed, as plants all vary in a slight degree from one another, they can hardly be expected to do equally as well on just the same kind of food. Moreover, experiments carefully conducted show that when manures have been varied for the same kind of plant for the same time, some one has been found to do a lit tle more good than another. But af ter all, these special advantages are not often available in a general way. In fact, for extensive use they are on available ; or, ir to be obtained, tbey are at too costly a rate. We con slantly find that although other things being equal, and aome one ma terial or another might be regarded aa beat manure, tbey still fall back upon tbe old fashioned unmis takable barnyard deposit. Yet after all theac questions a to tbe beet ma nures, tbey are not the things for those whose knowledge is trailed to indulge in. Tbey are only for those who have bad considerable practical experience. It is in fact somewhat wosafe for those who arc beginning o grow certain cropa to think much about what is likely to be preferred at all. They should be content with a moderate degree of success, until their increased knowledge justifies them to expand their operations. We would not, therefore, have our inex |e/ießced friends bother themselves about the ''best" manure for grapes, or in fact for any other crops. Take any well rotted, decaying vegetable matter that comes to hand ami ap ply it in moderate quantities al Srst, unt4 experience teaches how much any crop will bear and it will gener ally be found to be what they are seeking—the beat manure—(ierau town Telegrajth. Nitrute of Soda as a Top Drowsing for Wheat Urof. Cook, of tbe New Jeraey Ex periment Station, sowed 275 pouade of Chili saltpetre on an acre of wheat, and by aomparison with an acre not thus treated, tbe grain was 160# pounds ol straw and seven bushels, or 25 per cent, in tbe yield of grain. From this experiment and a study of others made during tbe past fifty years Professor Cook feels justi fied in making tha following state meats : Nitrate of soda judiciously used as a top dressing will generally giv a profit*ble increase of both wheat and straw. If an acid phosphate has been drilled with tbe wheat, nitrate of soda can be used alone, mixed with twice it* own weight of dry soil. To in sure a perfect mixture with this noil it is necessary to break ail large lumps and pass ihe nitrate through a coarse sieve. If an acid phosphate baa not been drilled with the wheat, Knglish experience teaches that it la best to mix tbe sifted nitrate with twice its own weight of sifted salt. From 100 to 150 pound* of nitrate of soda per acre will probably in most cases be a sufficient dressing; larger quantise in some cases have materially iucreased the profits. The best time to use nitrate of no da is probably soon after vegetation begin* in the Spring, earn being ta ken not to delay too long, aa there in danger that late dreaaing will delay or cause imperfect ripening of the grain. If possible, the nitrate should be spread Jnat before a light rain ; this will distribute it In the aoil, and aid in preventing it from damaging t!- young plants If wheal ha* been injured by aw vere Winter, or if, for any reason, it appear* yellow and *ickiy in the Spring, it ia claimed that a light dr*- aing of nitrate of soda will often prove a serviceable remedy. Pruning Orchards in Winter. Thia week's Country Gentleman makes some sensible suggestions that farmers at the present season should take to heart. The first has referen<-* to pruning orchards in winter: W, | have described on a former occasion the mode which we had adopted to rnucb advantage in the winter prun ing of neglecacd orchards, by fl • marking with chalk the precise I for inserting the saw, and then tin workmen who follows to remove to. limbs can never make a mist*k<- Lsying out the work, and the lal*.. of cutting, ahould be two separst. operations. Tbe owner stands atone side, and viewing the whole, . , much better what is wanted than etter one at a reasonable price. On pleasant days the cellar wiu dows should be opened. Fruit keep* better tf given fresh air than if main tained at a low temperature. Tbe ven tilation improves the beaithfuimsauf the bouse also. Ohio farmers employ sled* with runner* six or eight inches wide tor drawing all sorts of loads over bare and muddy ground. They are tx tensively used for drawing out ma nure in the Spring. They injur, grass sod leas than the wheels ol wagons and carts do. All meat animals, whether cattlo, sheep or hoga, make tbe moat gain and give the boat profits on the food consumed the first year of their growth, and the profit or gain is les sened gradually the longer any ani mal ie kept, and after this, if fed too long, ia fed at a loss. It does not pay to keep highly fed steers at a great er age than thirty, or at moat thirty aix months. What he gains after thia coats more than it will bring. In feed ing any animal lor tbe production of meat tbe farmer's motto should be, "Feed.well from the drat, and market animal* while they are atlll feeding, at a profit. I would rather have a calf brought up on akitn milk after it has been once started, and ia, say, two weeka old, than one brought up on whole milk. KPWAM) Bvasrrt.
