In butter-making, it is quite as neces- | sary to strain the water with which the butter granules are washed from the sides of the churn, as it is to strain the water used in washing the butter in the churn. In the washing of butter in the churn, it is essential to remember that it is pos- sible to overwagh. Every washing takes away from the flavor of the butter, American Dairyman, OATS AS A HAY CROP. also be used for a roosting room where the fowls will be very warm on cold winter nights, as there should be no large windows in this apartment. Another cause for the poor results with the flock first mentione) was the filthy condition of the floors. It is strange that people who believe firsily in cleanli- vess for the human family should allow the animals on the farm to Inhabit such filthy quarters as many of them are ob- liged to. Setting aside the principle of the thing, it ought to be remembered that poultry will not do well unless they Whenever the oat crop does not | promise well to be harvested in the usual | way, by reaping and binding, the best | economy will be to cut earlier, the same as grass, rake up in light windrows, and | as soon as dry, stow away in the mow to | be reached about the first of February for the mulch cows, The value will be geen in the milk-pail. The cows eat | them up clean, and, if there is enough to | last through March, the cows will come | out to grass with coats as fine as silk. | There is no better fodder than oat-hay | for calves and yearlings. It brings them out in the spring in fine form and fettle.

There are a great many reasons, writes Webb Donnell, of Maine, why a par. ticular flock of hens may vot lay, but I think I could have told the owner of a flock that I saw recently the special causes why his fowls were refusing to fill the egg basket. And the reason was not an Some thirty hens were confined in a room about eight by ten feet. To be exact there were thirty. one hens and a cockerel in this small space, giving each one two and a half feet of floor space—less than half the space that should have been given. Fif. teen hens would have laid double the number of eggs in such quarters that the | thirty-one were giving, and would have cost less than half as much to feed, It is rarely that sufficient room is afforded to a flock of fowls. If it contains twenty specimens, these are placed in the hean- house. If in the fall the flock has in. creased to thirty-five, these are crowded | into the same quarters—too small, per haps, for the ongioal twenty—then fol. lows disappointment because so few eggs are obtained, If any one will study the habits of | fowls he will flod iat the smaller the flock the larger will be the proportionate | individual yield of eggs. A hen, domesticated, delights in surroundings | that suggest her originally wild state. | She does not like 10 be jostled by her neighbois, but delights to steal away by herself to lay ue in some dark cor. ner out of sight.
