Little chicks en Joy fresh water to drink. Give them some, even though you pro vide milk for tnem. 1 If vour fowls have the range of the farm and have access to fresh water, ey wi" need btr? T It takes as much brams to run a farm successfully as it does to conduct any other business ot line proportions. It is a mistake to become so absorbed in routine work on the farm that no time is left lor thought, planning or recrea tion. Tf von mean to sell spring chickens. sell them in the spring not in the fall for 8 or 10 cents a pound and lose money on them. Soft coal cinders and charcoal from wood ashes or cobs should be among the " appetizers " kept on the nog s Dili ol fore daily. If von are raising chicks for the eggs they will lay, don't keep the cockerels till fall ; sell them as soon as large enough lor broilers. A writer in an exchange says that, aa geeee live on the herbage of the field, they " should be largely raised as substitutes for mutton." The Superintendent of the Kansas ex periment station says that the experi menta with sugar beets in that State in dicate that the soil is not adapted to their growth.

All who have bred Plymouth Rocks are aware, and they who have not and intend to should take heed, that the t'ly- mouth Rock cock is naturally lighter than the hens; and. says the Scientific Poultryman, it is the custom of breeder of show birds to mate light o s with dark pullets and nse extra dai k cocks to get dark cocks ana extra Jignt ones to get light liens that is, hens to mate the cock thus making up a pen tnatwiu look very nice on exniDition ; out, u you breed the pen, the result will be dark pullets, and the next season you will be farther away from the desired result thou before, and you will be compelled to mate them with a very light cock to get the pullets lighter. It is as natural tor the Plymouth Rock cock to be lighter than the hens as for the Brown Leghorn cock to be darker than the hens; and, it we want to breed to a uniform color, the only way is to select medium light hens, bluish gray, barred with dark or blue, the bars being distinct, the cock being a little lighter than the hens, mating each year the same way. If breeders will fol low this rule, they will find that the Ply mouth Rock will breed truer ana win do able to breed (how birds; otherwise we must hove two separate matings, one for cocks and one for pullets, which is not always convenient for parties who can only keep one yard. It is too much like a first cross on two varieties ; soma ot them look verv nice, but the next breed ing is away off. habit w cow. : -Every man who handles cows should. remember that they are creatures of habit. Habit made them, and habit alone will continue them in the line of their good work. To make use ol this knowledge we should always and on all occasions treat the cow as nearly as pos sible m the same way. She is fond of her home life and its monotonous rou tine, and any deviation from that tread mill method greatly disturbs her equa nimity, and that disturbance acts imme diately on her milk-giving organs greatly to the loss ot tne man wno owns uer. We hove not found that she even likes a change of food, except from dry to grass, and that upsets the milk yieia tor a tew days. She must have the same stall and the same companions; sne must do milked by the same man. If you have got into the practice, which some men condemn, of feeding her while you milk,." then keep it up, lor it has become a habit with her, and without it she will be restless and inclined to hold up her milk. ' SBLECTXNO A OOOD BBOOD SOW. A hmmi now should be long, of great depth, broad in forehead and not too closely coupled over the loin. Select hi r after the pigs are weaned, so that she - will have taken on natural lorm. one should be retained as brood sow until 4 or years of age !l she has proved good. I Tkn mr.aritninti m Tnonw animnlii haa Tho constitution of many animals has been ruined by breeding from young or immature parents. A good sow will givo thirty pounds of milk in twenty-four hours. It has been tested and is known to be a lact. If a litter of pigs would make a growth of four or five pounds in twentv-four hours, it stonds to rea?on that, if seven pounds of milk will make one pound of growth in a young pig of the age of one week, a sow must neces saiily give at least thirty pounds of milk in twenty-four hours. Mistreatment ol a brood sow should never be allowed : pen tie treatment of sows iu herds should alway( be exacted.
