lion to Fallen Chickens.
It is hopeless, says the London Gard
ener, to attempt to fatten thein while they
are at liberty. They must be put in a
proper coop, and this, like most other
poultry appurtenances, need not be expen
sive. To fatten twelve fowls, a coop may
be three feet long, eighteen inches high,
and eighteen inches deep, made entirely of
bars. No part of it solid neither top,
Bides, nor bottom. Discretion must be
used according to the sizes of the chick
ens put up. They do not want room; in
deed, the closer they are the better pro
vided they can all stand up at the same
time. Care must be taken to put such as
have been accustomed to be together, or
they will fight. If one is quarrelsome, it
is better to remove it at once ; as, like oth
er bad examples, it soon finds imitators.
A diseased chicken should not be put off.
The food should be ground oats, and
may either be put in a trough, or on a flat
board runuing along the front of the coop.
It may be mixed with water or milk; the
latter is better. It should be well slaked,
forming a pulp as loose as can be, provided
it does not run off the board. They must
be well fed three or four times per day
ine urst as soon alter daylight as may be
possible or convenient, and then at inter
vals of four hours. Each meal should be
as much and no more than they can eat up
clean. lien they have done ieeding,
the board should be wiped, and some grav
el may be spread. It causes them to feed
and thrive. After a fortnight of this
treatment you will have good fat fowls.
ii, nowever, there are but tour or six to be
fatted, they must not have as much room
as though they were twelve. Nothing is
easier than to allot them the nroner snao.
... . x -r
as it is only necessary to have two or three
pieces oi wood to pass between the bars
and form a partition. This may also serve
when the fowls are put up in different de
grees of fatness. This requires attention,
or fowls will not keep fat and healthy.
As soon as the fowl is sufficiently fatted
it must be killed, otherwise it willstill get
fat, but it will lose flesh. If fowls are in
tended for the market, of course they are,
or may be, all fatted at once ; but if for
home consumption, it is better to put them
up at such iutervals as will suit the time
when they will bo required for the table.
"When the time arrives for killing, wheth
er they are meant for market or otherwise,
they should be fasted, without food or
water, fur twelve or fifteen hours. This
enables them to be kept some time after
being killed, even in hot weather.
Topping Corn.
Some of your contributors differ relative
to the practicability of cutting off the tops
of corn.
My limited experience in the culture of
t " 1 - rt . .
curu, mucn inclines me to lavor the prac
tice of cutting off the tops at an early day.
The reasons for so doing in brief arc as
follows :
As (soon as the corn is full, remove the
top. The hot sun soon sears the cut end
of the stock, and what supply of nourish
ment was intended for the top, is saved
for the ear ; consequently, the car will
ripen fuller than it otherwise would. If
the tops are removed previous to the high
winds accompanying Autumnal storms
the corn will be partially, at least protect
ed and saved. The corn will ripen sooner,
and, I thiuk, sounder.
The tops will be worth double what they
otherwise would be to remain until the
corn is sufficiently ripened to put into
shocks.
The sugar contained in the stalk is its
real value. The sooner the top is cut af
ter it attains its full growth, the more is
saved. If suffered to remain, nearly all
of its value escapes by evaporation.
True, if you cut up and shock before
the corn Ls quite ripe, you save a trifle in
the value of the butt stalks; but not
enough to. compensate for the loss in the
top stalks. The increased labor in tyin"
up and shocking will quite balance thai
of topping. Cor. A'cw Enyland Farmer.
Smut i'iclUln? Seed Wheat.
Smut in wheat is caused by a parasitic
fungus which breaks out on the ear and
decomposes the starch and gluten of the
grain, and fills it with a foetid black pow
der. Smut is usually caused by sowiu"
seed to which, though invisible, the spores
of the fungus are attached and the reme
dy for the evil consists in destroying these
spores before sowing the seed wheat.
Moistening the grain with chamber lye,
and then drying it with quick lime, is
perhaps the oldest aud most popular En
glish remedy. Salt and water instead of
lye, is also used, drying the wheat with
lime, as in the former case. But the best
remedy yet discovered is to wash the seed
with a solution of blue vitriol (sulphate of
copper.) For each bushel of seed, dissolve
about three ounces of blue vitriol in one
quart of hot water I, t n.A
using, bpread the wheat on a floor, a
bout six inches thick, and sprinkle the
solution equally over it, and then mix
thoroughly with shovels until the wheat
has acquired a uui form degree of damp
ness! Jt will be ready fur sowing in two
or three hours, but it Ls better to perform
the operation a day or two before sowing.
When treated this way, lime should not
bo used, as it decomposes the vitriol, and
does harm rather than good. Gaicsee
Farmer.
