The Size of the Sea.
This refers not to the area of the

level. In other words. If all the land
of the globe were scraped off down
to the level of the sea and thrown
into the ocean, it would fill only one
thirtieth part of the enormous abyss
which Is occupied by the waters. Ac
cording to Lyell, te mean height of
the land above sea-level Is 1000 feet,
whereas the mean depth of the ocean
is 12,000 feet. There are mountain
peaks which rise as high above sea
level as the depressions of the ocean
sink below It, but the average height
of the land Is slight compared with
the average depth of the sea.

In front of him, and while a driver
looks after the horses, he drops the
pieces of potatoes Into the end of a

two cultivator teeth set so as to throw

Kill the Weeds Early.
Weeds never die so easily as when
they are "Just-a-borln" and for this
reason there is no method that Is
more effective In destroying them
than the judicious use of a harrow
In the cornfield or potato patch the
week following the time of planting.
Often good results are secured if a
cultivation Is given Just as the young
plants are coming through the
ground, but before there is a spread
of leaf. As booh as another lot of
weed seed has started to germinate
these ridges may be harrowed lightly
to advantage and In the case of pota
toes harrowing may be given as late
as two weeks after the plants have
come through the ground. Weekly

Your Horse's Foot.
A horse should never be compelled
to stand uphill. The anatomy of the
horse's foot, and, Indeed,' the shape
of the horse himself, makes this an
uncomfortable and unrestful position.
Whatever the arrangement for
drainage is, the horse must stand as
nearly level as possible. Moreover,
he must stand upon a dry surface un
less it is found that his feet need
moisture. In such cases a wet clay
floor is excellent, temporarily.
When you come in from driving,
and after your horse has properly
cooled off, see that the mud Is re
moved, not only from his legs and
the outer portions of his hoofs, but
from the sole as well. . An occasional
stuffing with flaxseed Is not only bene
ficial but necessary. Indianapolis
News.
Fruit or Sheep Tastnre.
As I see so much good advice in
the Farmer I will ask for a little In
formation. I have some rough, hilly
and rocky land, too rough to culti
vate even with a one-horse plow. 1
have cut most all the timber and all
the undergrowth off, and burned it
on all the ground that I could, and
sowed It to timothy and blue grass
It will thrive very well for a year
or two, then a moss will form on the
ground that checks the growth of the
grass. What treatment could be
given to prevent this? O. W. We
do not believe you can succeed with
timothy on such land. It would not
pay to fertilize It; the pastures or ma
nure would all wash away. It Is bet
ter suited to pasturing sheep or goats,
or growing fruit. It evidently will
not support good grass, and when that
dies down the moss you speak of
takes Its place. Try an orchard. In
diana Farmer.
Killing roultrr.
The first essential Is that the fowl
shall have absolutely ns food for
thirty-six hours so that its crop, giz
zard and Intestines shall be empty.
First-class dressing demands that
the fowl be dry picked not scalded.
This makes the French method of
killing very essential. By this meth
od the fowl Is suspended by a loop
around Its legs to a hook on the wall.
With a quick thrust through the
brain the operator kills the bird and
severs the main arteries. At that in
stant be begins plucking the feathers.
They pull easily then a minute
later they come hard, but In that one
minute the worst of his task Is done.
The carcass is then cooled, formed
In the forming troughs, so as to pack
nicely and Is then ready for shipment
No Incision is made In the skin of
the fowL None of the interior organs
were removed. The moment the in
terlor of a fowl Is exposed to the air,
decomposition sets In. Packed or
bandied as described thx fowl will
keep perfectly for days, or it in cold
storage for weeks or moaths.
Cooks and some housekeepers ob
ject to this method of dressing fowls;
but the more intelligent know that It
Is the only safe and sanitary way of
doing the work.
The English method differs only In
the killing. No knife is used, no
bleeding Is done. The vertebra next
to the skull Is severed from the bead
by a strong quick jerk of the opera
tor; this causes Instant death and a
loosening of the feathers as In the
French method.. The head Is drawn
out from the neck an inch or two,
and Into this space the blood drains
and forms a clot as the bird bangs
hy its feet. This method shuts out
the air from the Interior of the car
cass even more effectually than does
the French method.
A serious onslaught has been mad
on these methods of dressing poultry
In several States recently, but It it
hoped that they may not prevail but
rather that these methods may grow
In favor. They are safer for the con
sumer; they are simpler and better
for the producer. "f. E. Orr, In bul
letin Pennsylvania Department of

Poultry Notes.
One of the main essentials of every
poultry house Is that it must be kept
dry. Damp houses cause diarrhoea,
canker, sore eyes, rheumatism and
other troubles that all animals as
well as poultry are heir to. The best
way to keep the house dry is to glvs
It plenty of fresh air by opening the
doors and windows during the day.
Supply fresh litter often. Build the
IioiiBe on a high, dry spot.
Not mora than forty hens should be
kept in one run thirty would do
much better. The larger the flock the
sooner they clear off the surface food.
During the spring and summer where
fowls have the free range of the
farm there Is plenty of room for a
large flock, but when fowls are lim
ited In their runs the flock must be
smaller. Unless other conditions are
supplied a large flock will eat up the
profits.
If your hens havo been subjected
to a Budden draft and have contracted
a slight cold in the head, the follow
ing is a good remedy: Glauber salts,
two ounces; chlorate of potash, one
ounce; perchloride of Iron, one-half
ounce, and one teasooonful of tincture
of aconite to about three pints of
water, allowing them no other water
to drink for a day or two. A cold is
easily detected. The fowls will have
a slight watery discharge at the eyes
and nostrils and will wheeze more or
less. Watch them while they are on
the perch at night.
Mix some "brains" with the feed
and you will get better results than
If you mix your feed carelessly.
Carefulness In feeding Is essential In
any kind of stock. The amount of
food given the laying hens, or the
hens that should lay, is an Important
matter. Mo fixed amount can be
given, but It must be governed by the
Judgment of the operator.
The laying hens of the breeding
pen need vegetable food. Throw In
a little clover or alfalfa, and let them
pick off the leaves as they desire.
Roup is a contagious disease and
may be inherited. If you wish hens
of strong and vigorous constitutions
never breed from fowls that have had
the roup.
Corn In small quantity as the last
food for the hens before they go to
roost at night will help to furnish
heat for the body on these cold spring
nights. Indianapolis News.
Incubator Don'ts.
Don't forget to study your incuba
tor. Get the catalogue that describes
your particular machine, and study
every part and the construction In
general.
Don't try to run the Incubator In a
place where there is a draft, or near
a stove, or in the sun. In such places
it will be Impossible to maintain a
uniform temperature. Set It where
the temperature is uniform, and you
will have much better success.
Don't forget to test tho eggs before
setting the Incubator and three times
during the Incubation. Do not use
any doubtful ones. Take no chances
with any eggs that you are not sure
contain a fertile and vital germ.
Don't allow the lamps to burn low.
Keep them trimmed correctly and as
nearly full of oil as possible. Do not
let them smoke. It is a good plan to
clean the burners every day to Insure
a uniform flame and absence of
smoke.
Don't place any dirty eggs In the
tray. Filth may cause the generation
of deadly gases, which will work ruin
to many of the fertile eggs.
Don't try to place too many eggs In
the trays. Eggs need room In the In
cubator as well as the chickens need
room after they have been placed In
the brooder.
Don't forget to turn the egg every
second day. The hen generally turns
them every day, and the one who at
tempts artificial incubation should see
to this important essential at least
each alternate day.
Don t neglect to cool the eggs
every morning. The hen leaves her
nest at that time for food and drink.
and it is natural that the eggs should
be exposed for a few minutes to the
pure atmosphere.
Don't handle the eggs with dirty
hands. There may be enough germs
upon the hands to destroy the vitality
of the germs in the eggs you touch.
Don't disturb the eggs after the
hands. There may be enough germs
upon the hands to destroy the vitality
of the germs in the eggs you touch.
Don't disturb- the eggs after the
eighteenth day. Better results are
obtained by allowing them to remain
quiet after that date. Journal of
Agriculture.
