THE FARM AND GARDEN, WORMS IN POULTRY. Poultry of all kinds are affected with worms, not only in the intestines, but sometimes in the flesh. How the worms originate, or how they find lodgment in the flesh, is not known, but they may come from substances eaten or frem con- tract with afilicted fowls, as the drop- pings may be a source. The best remedy is a teaspoonful of spirits of turpentine in a quart of corn meal, made into dough and fed once a day to twenty fowls, — Times Democrat. EFFECT OF OVERFEEDING A YOUNG CALF. When a young calf is gorged with milk indigestion follows and the stomach is clogged with a mass of compact curd, The consequence is that the animal be- comes dull, dribbles at the mouth, and grinds its teeth. The treatment should be to give a teaspoonful of carbonate of soda or saleratus in a pint of water, which will desolve the curd and aid its passage through the intestines. In six hours after give one tablespoonful of raw linseed or castor oil, Offer no food until the bowels are cleared out, and then give only one quart of warm, fresh milk at a meal every three hours. When a calf is drinking milk it should be fed slowly and with intervals of rest, and cold milk should never be given, as this chills the stomach and provokes indiges- tion.— American Dairyman. POPULARITY OF EXNSILAGE. It is unquestionably true that ensilage has greatly increased in popularity dur- | ing the past few years. A large propor- | tion of farmers who have tested it, and | who have reported the results of their | experiments, have been well pleased with | the returns they have received. At the | same time the current does not all set one | way. There is a minority who are not entirely suited. And there are many | feeders who, while believing that it is | profitable to use, have found that some of the claims put forth by its more zealous | advocates, were highly cxaggerated. is not so much better or cheaper tl eversthing else, as it has been some represented to be. The men who believe in feeding roots are assuring their readers that the dairyman can make as much money by raising roots he can by growing ensilage. In a test in feeding dairy cows at the Ohio Experiment Sta. 13] tion mangels gave a little better returns | than ensilage. It is claimed that as great | a weight of mangels per acre can be ob- | tained as of eosilage, and that even when ensilage is used, the mangels will make a useful addition to the food supply. | That mangles are excellent winter food | for cows cannot be denied. It is possible, however, that the cost of growing them has been somewhat underestimated. A rican Dairyman, TO FEED FOR BOGS. A correspondent of the California Cackier, 1 relation to feeding laying fowls, communicates the following: There has been a very great complaint in some sections about the hes not lay- | ing as they should. I think every case cam be accounted | for. 1 was recently called in to see a lady's flock of eighty-eight hens, that were looking, to say the least, fine, yet she said she was not getting as many eges from them as | was from a pen of eight that were always confined in a yard 8x20, with a tight house, and hers had | free range. I purchased a dozen from | her, and after killing a couple I found | that her hens had not sufficient food to produce eR. While this I believe to be generally the cause of failure of eggs, yet it is not al ways; some feed too high, and not that food which will produce eggs. I have | been for some time experimenting on what kinds of food will produce best re- sults, and have found the following by | far the best: Brana or barley in the morn- in, scalded with milk; give all they will | eat up clean. In this we have that! which is generally acknowledged to pro duce the greatest per cent. of the white of an egg aod very little fat. At noon feed wheat or screenings. In this we have the lime for shell and also a good per cent. of the yolk. Give all they want, and if you have an ash or manure pile mix a little in for them to serateh after, At night give a liberal feed of corn. ard do not be afraid of making too fat I do believe, contrary to the opinions of | some, that corn will produce eggs, and lots of them, especially in winter, Feed beef scraps every other day (cooked), and plenty of bone meal, with a liberal supply of green food every day. Hens fed in this manner must Iny, if any good at all; if not, get rid of them. Aa old saying, and a true one, is that a hen properly fed must lay or get fat. Of course this will not apply through moult. ing time. CARE OF DISOWKED LAMBS, It frequently happens in the spring that one or more lambs in the flock are orphaned from some cause or other, and rather than permit them to perish we have them brought to the house and mised by the band. Sometimes a ewe refuses to own her lamb, another | will appear to thiok all the world of her offspring but will be unable to furnish & | drop of milk for its subsistence, while a third dies, leaving her little one highs miserable. If the lamb is ‘healthy when it is brought in it is al. ways ravenously hungry, and before we learned the danger of overfeeding we lost one or two trying to satisfy thelr appetite, The first meal of cow's milk given to a lamb should be not more than one-fourth of a gill, which gantry may be gradu. to half a pint given ever two hours when the lamb is one wee This is enough for a large healthy a saiall delicate ope should have van Jone. very young, lambs are liable to 0 bo troubled with scours, In which cas the milk Shatld be bolled for one - t a little white sugar or milk will when it does uot, | one finger in its | milk from the | bird teaspoonful of castor oil should be given in the milk as often as considered neces. sary. The milk must be perfectly sweet, as fresh as possible, and slightly warmed. After two weeks the interval between feeding should be gradually lengthened, and the quantity of milk increased, as a robust lamb at the age of two months can take with impunity one and a half pints three times a day, and when three months old this quantity twice a day is sufficient. When the lamb is a few weeks old, if milk is scarce, half the quantity advised may be given, mixed with the same amount of the lamb's digestion in good order, add to its food a teaspoonful of flaxseed jelly once daily. The jelly is made by boiling for twenty minutes. If the weather is very cold when the lamb is brought in, we keep it for a few days in a box in the back kitchen, where a big wood fire burns day and night, | Here 1t lies and sleeps on the clean straw covered with an old blanket, only awak- ening at itd regular feeding times, when it begins a piteous and plaintive bleat that stops only when its hunger is ap- peased, It is not long, though, before the little fellow learns to jump out of his box and then he goes frisking about, poking his inquisitive little nose into everything, searching for something to eat. Then, lest he runs into the fire, I have to banish him to an outhouse, or on bright sunny days to the garden where he soon learns te nibble the rose bushes and tender shrubs in the dainty manner peculiar to sheep. This is one trouble with pet lambs, they begin to eat en. tirely too early, filling their stomachs with food they cannot digest. To obviate this to some extent, we continue to feed the lambs milk oftener and for a longwm period than would otherwise be abso- lutely necessary. They are greedy little | animals, and when allowed to come about the yard and kitchen rapidly acquire a taste for all sorts of things. When 1 first began raisicg pet lambs, used t 1 them from the as a great deal of trouble: bottle, now i the 1 days at first, to drink shallow pan 180 ttle and rubber only for a few and then I teach the letting the milk into a largh take wowly immers- 4 3 t by pouring snd mouth, = it is able At first 4 sure that he gets the end of my finger, but he soon learns better, and dispensing with my finger altogether, he plunges his ing my hand in the to draw a little iato it the little fellow | eager mouth down into the pan of milk, and after lunging about awhile, feeling for something to take bold of, and half strangling himself, he settles down to business, and the milk disappears in a marvelously short space of time. I do not know that thee is any real profit ia raising lambs by hand, The milk they consume, and the time required for car ing for them are doubtless worth more than the lambs themselves; still, rather than see them die, we always take them for pets. They make the most gentle and most interesting pets in the world, aud we soon become so attached to them that the work of attending to them be- comes & pleasure. They are grateful too, and repay our care with such quick interest, grow so fast and keep so healthy, that it seems but a little while that they need feeding so often, — American Agri. | cullurist, A—— FARM AND GARDEN XOTES.
