FATENTNG FOWLS.
All Summer long the (armor and his family
have fussed with the poultry; the young
chickens and turkeys need care in the lung
rain U>nns, and protection against nocturnal
depredators. Just as they are fully grown
and out of danger, the shrewd huckster makes
bis appearance, buys, fattens, and prepans
them for market, and pockets the profits fr
his smartness.
Obviously, the farmer had better fatten hi*
fowls and send them to market himself. He
can do it with less trouble, perhaps, than he
imagines. Feed liberally at all times, so as
to keep tbem growing thriftly, but about
twenty days before being slaughtered, feed
them in thia way : Make a coop for one dot
fowls ; more should not be put together. The
coop should ba three feot long, two feet wide
and two and a half high— make the sides of
bars, and about three inches a part,the bottom
of round poles two inches apart, the fop of a
board- Place this in a comfortable room, el
evated two feet Irom the floor, in the ham < r
poultry house, where the cold wind will In
kept away, and where the light will bedim
Attach feed troughs all around the outside. —
Commence feeding very light, giv ng little
water the first day ; then feed regular three
or four times per day with the strongest focd
as oat meal mixed with milk, boiled barley
or corn. Observe the utmost cleanliness,and
give a supply of fresh water. In twenty
days the poultry should be killed, and f->r
such the farmer would find plenty of greedy
buyers willing to pay the highest price,—Ru
ral New Yorker.
APPLE TREKS. —Tbe raoi on your young
•pple trees it not tbe cause, but rattier in
consequence of the decay of the trees. If
your treat were properly set. and if you have
kept the gtound cultivated to some hoed crop
since, as you should do. applying a coat of
manure around each tree, fur a space of five
to ten feet, according to size of trees ; and
forking tit in above the roots of tbe trees
their decay roust be attributed to some cause
beyond tbe science of pomologists to state
what it is, without being present on the pre
mise# wbera the trees are grown. Sometimes
severe froata will so injure tbe tree*, as t>>
cause tbe bark to split open and peel off; and
if your traea have been thus injured, it is
probably the cause of their decay.
SELECTING POULTRY MEAT —A young tur
key has a smooth leg and a soft bill, and if
fresb, the eye will bo bright and the feet
moi.t. Old turkeys have scaly feet.
Young fowls have a lender skin, smooth
legs and the breast b .ne yields readily to tbe
preasure of the linger. The be*t are those
with yellow legs The feet and legs of old
fowla look u though they had seen hard ser
vice in the world.
Young ducks feel tender under the wings,
and the web of the foot is transparent. The
best are thick and hard on the breast
Young geese hate yellow bill*, ad the feet
are yellow end supple. The skin maybe
easily broken by the head of a pin ; the
breast is plump ami the fat white. An old
goose is unfit for the human stomach.
Fowls are inoat easily picked if scalded,but
this renders the skin liable to tie torn, and
consequently they witl not look so nice.
MXADOWS Now is a good time to topdress
with fine manure, giting a protection to the
grass roots from a burning sun, and furnish
ing a stitnulous to start a good af'ermath—
Millet is better for feeding, cut before ih"
•eed is ripe : cut as aoon as .he seed begins
to form, or before even, if you would base a
aafe, good feed, after curing.
FRUITLESS PLAR TREES.— It sometimes
happens that pear trees are barren year after
year. If the soil has been manured and cul
tivated, let manure and tillage be withheld
If th>s does not answer, prune back the rank
wood, and cut off the extreme! ies of some of
the roots with a sharp spade. Hard usage i
is What such trees need.
PLACE FOR THE PIU-STT.— Desirable as N
is to hove a pen within ea-y leach from ihi
kitchen, it ia yet a barber- us custom to haet
it so near that its no'ses and offensive stnt-IL
wlll penetrate the house. Wherever it is,
there should be a good walk provided, tor
convenience in carrying slops to it. Nor
should it be too close to tha norse sub'e.—
There is a foolish noti in abroad that a horse
stall next to a pen is hurtful to the pigs, es
pecially to the breeding sows. The only
conceivable harm would be l" the horse and
his master, arising from toe foul smeil of the
hogs.
Common sense says, let the pig sty be ar
ranged on one side f the barn yard, so as to
allow the pig manure to be mixed with that
of the horse and c<.w, as they severally accu
mulate. One apparttnent of the pen should
open in to the yard, so as to allow the hogs
to run out, and work orer the horse manure,
and to feed on such grain as thev may tind
among it Tbepigjen should, of couiae,bave
its sleeping ro<>m well provided with straw
and the whole establishment should he kept
clean.
SAVE THE CORN FODDER.— The following
timely advice is from, the Ohio Former—
The severe summer drought which has
prevailed all over this region, causing faim rs
to resort to early feeding o| lrm an-clc, *h'd
admonish them ti> save all the corn fotde"
before it is touched by fr st. The corn crop
in many places will not ripen well, and a
good thing can be made of the stock- for fo I
der by cutting thein and securing in clone
ahocks front the weather.
In cases where the cars are likely to ripen
the grain, the top si.k at d leaves can he
saved by taking them < ffbef re frost C 'tnf
and storing litem in an airy loft or shed
where they will cure well and be safe from
the weather.
Well cured corn fodder is the Usi kind of
feed for cows and sheep ; and there is noth
ing better tor Colts than well cored corn
blades, taken ■lf tie f re . Iwy ar.- fir—l by dr\
weaiher r touched by frost, aud then cured
