Tho methods which prevail In Kug fcind for growing poultry and their enro Miry so widely from those lu vogue hero that our readers may llnd some thing to Interest them lu the following, gleaned from the writings of C. K. Itrookc. I'Yiod should bo nilrad fresh for every meal, and fowls should have only what, they cat-leaving uona. Through the winter they are fed In the morning with a hot nie.-s of middling mid barley meal. From November to, March their midday meal Is boiled bar ley, nnd the later meal Is wheat or maize. Now nod then fowls lit con lliicment should have a fresh piece of sod at which to pick. A llttlo salt vhould be added to their food now nnd then, nnd occasionally a small quan tity of Kpsom salts. Kor a full day nf- ler chickens are hntehed they need no food, and for the following week they should bo fed chopped boiled eggs and soaked bread and milk, feeding them every two hours for the first fortnight. Tor the next two weeks they 'should have grit, boiled ilce, barley or pota toes", followed later by bruised barley, wheat or corn meal. During chicken hood four meals dally are best. The mother should have grain and meal. When molting, a slight addition of cayenne pepper to the meal, with some hemp seeil now and then, and an oc casional meal of mimed raw onions will bo found advantageous. The mid day meal at all seasons should Include some green food, and when winter ap proaches should Include meat nnd fat, minced liver, or horseflesh. When fat tening for market, the fowls must bo kept sheltered. Mutton fnt, chopped fine and boiled with milk, Is desbable to add to the ground oats or buck wheat, and this Is administered In Hiuall doses. Mleii Sin-ell on mi .trrr. All experiment Is being conducted by I'rof. Shaw at the experiment farm, says the Northwestern Farmer, which certainly means n great deal, not only to the North vct, but to all tho United States. He has undertaken to pasture six sheep and ten Inmbs on au aero of laud. Tho experiment Is succeeding beyond his expectations. Tho food Is at the present time nearly two months ahead of tho sheep. They nro doing splendidly on tho food, anil have kept In perfect health from the first. His plan Is to sow a succcbslon of foods, so theio will always 1st some thing for tho sheep on one or the other of tho plots. Tho ncro Is di vided Into four plots, and tho sheep aro pastured on these in succession. Tho harrow Is generally used .on each plot after It has lieon pastured, and lu some Instances fresh seed Is sown. Tho season has, of course, been very favorable, but to offset that, In part at least, tho laud is not ho good as tho averago pralrio soil, and It has not been manured for several years. Prof. Khaw says ho has not ex hausted all tho resources In this Hue, and ho Is hopeful that as largo a num ber of sheep mid lambs can bo kept on an aero of well prepared land In, a dry year. 1-ot It Iw homo lu mind that tho sheep nro pastured nono of tho food Is cut for them.

Maggots may "have gained access to tho tllthy places lu tho fleece; tho pasture has become dried up and short, no bran or grain lias been given them, and perhaps' wa ter was scant; tho heat has been Intol erable, tho tiles abundant, and no placo provided whero tho sheep could got nway from their attacks and other parasites may havo gained n footing In their various chosen scats. All' those, nnd perhaps more, may have been tho result of Home liltle neglect during tho hurvest month.

I'rof. F. 13. Kmcry thus tells the story and tho results of the experiment: Two calves front grade Jersey heifers were left on thefr dams until six and three days ohi respective ly. Tho Hrat iliy from dams, the calves Mere fed freshly drawn moth er's milk with nothing in it. The sec ond day fl-8 mother's milk nnd .'1-8 sep arated milk was fed. This proportion of mixing was continued tlvc days. Then one pound of fresli milk to four pounds of separated milk was fed live daysi Tho third Krlod of five days the calves drank six pounds each of separated milk twice dally with one ounce of ground oats stirred Into each mess. IMirlng the fourth period of five days seven tinunils nf Mntviratnil milk win. olio ounce each of ground oats and wheal were consumed nt each of two 'Cdi bv en el; calf. For tho llfth period of live days eight pounds of separated milk with one ounce each of ground oats am wheat as before, con stituted tho feed per morning or even ing for each calf. From the beginning of this feeding about a spoonful of lime water hns been udded to each feed. There yns no scouring nnd both calves havo grown well. This Is shown lu the gains of over one pound for one calf nun one nnti a quarter lor the other calf per day. On In nnil Colin, Feed some of the cheap oats to the right kind of colts and rest assured that the dawn of the coming century, lu spile nf all our modern Ingenuity, the world will still be In need of equine motive power, nnd If the signs IHiInt nriglit it will command a pre mium, says C. F. Curtlss In iturnl hire. There Is no liotter property on the farm today than a good colt and tliero never was a more opportune time to go Into horse raising in earnest. Not In the old way. but with a higher standard of excellence. Let excellence bo tho slue qua non and let It liogln in the brood mare. It Is well that tho elass of brood mares lu uso a few years since have been discarded. hi starting anew let the man who wants to make money In horses en deavor not to produce horses cheaply, but to raise the 1ost iio;hc th.it hl.i surroundings will permit. It will be better to get one good sir of mares and breed only these than to raise a dozen common cells. What a change could be wrought In the horse stock of the United States by 1000 If as the horse business re vives every well-to-do farmer would get oven one pair of superior pure bred mares of some particular breed nnd breed them to sires of tho high est excellence. There is no avenue In agrlculturo that offers surer returns or more pennnnent success. Oats nro an exceptionally valuable feed for horses. Other feeds will pro duce as much gain In live weight, but there Is perhaps no single grain food so well adapted to grow liono and muscle, and glvu stamina and endur ance lu horses, as oats. For this pur IMiso It should be used liberally the coming winter. I'll rut 'ntt. tSood breeding counts at least as much lu the boy as hi tho calf. Do not neglect to provide pure water for the chicken yards. Tho drinking vessels should lie cleaned every day. l'ut tincture of Iron, a teaspoonful to the gallon, In the drinking water of tho fowls.

The man who farms because he can find nothing else to do Is not usually the greatest success In the country. Have you provided a range of clover or rye for your hogs this winter? They need It.
