A correspondent of the Prairie Farmer,
writing upon the subject of "Poultry
Pointers," says: "What a vast amount
of pure and unadulterated twaddle about
poultry gets into the papers every year!
Only the other day I read a long-winded
article on the care of laying hens in win
ter, in which the writer laid down a set of
rules and regulations that positively
■would make a hen laugh herself hoarse if
she could have read it. I would not be
afraid to bet my overcoat, even this early
in the season, that the writer of the afore
said article never owned half a dozen hens
in his life. In order to carry out l.is in
structions, a person would be obliged to |
keep his hens in the parlor and hire a j
French cook and a veterinary surgeon.
The various feeds, condiments and chem- j
ical compounds he recommended would
give a brass weather-cock the flim-flams j
inside of a week. The paper that con- j
tamed the article is one of the good old |
miscellaneous sort with an agricultural
annex, and I am well satisfied that the
editor of said annex never farmed a I
field larger than a flower-pot in his |
life, or he would never have allowed |
such stuff to decorate his department.
'•One of the most proliik- themes for <
amateur poultry raisers is the diseases of 1
fowls. The number of remarkable cor- I
dials, elixirs, expectorants and panaceas
brought to light every year by these art
ists is simply amazing. I believe that
every combination of bad-tasting, ill
smelling and otherwise disagreeable and |
disgusting slops, powders and pastes that I
human ingenuity under great stress
could devise has, at one time or another,
been shoved forward as a dead-sure cure
for cholera or roup in poultry.
"A rising young poultry prince once
told me confidentially that he could cure
any case of hen cholera in the world in
half an hour with one of the simplest and
most abundant articles in all nature.
With a great deal of coaxing and wheed
ling, and a promise to disclose the name
of an infallible remedy for scaly leg, I in
duced him to whisper the chief title of his
valuable restorative into my ear drum.
It w.is kcro'veiic.' A dose of half a tea
spoonful would, he assured me, cure
every case without fail. 'You don't say!'
I exclaimed, with a gasp. 'Why, the very
same cosmetic will polish otf scaly legs in
the highest style of the varnisher's art.'
About a year afterward his fowls caught
the simon-pure cholera, and though he
dosed them liberally with three different
brands of kerosene every one calmly and
irresistibly expired.
"Another young man who knew more
than his lather, one day informed me in
a remarkably important and decisive
manner that he h;:d cured whole droves
and great flocks of cholera-smitten hogs
and poultry with a neat little discovery of
his own. This remarkable discovery, I
afterwards learned, was simply a mixt
ure of quinine, sulphur and water —
three tablespoons of quinine and six of
Bulphur well stirred into a barrel of
water. For hogs, one quart was added
to every bucket of slop given them. For
poultry, tho feed was wet up with it. The
genuine disease got into a lot of hogs in
the vicinity, and lie was offered a goodly
sum by their owner to euro them. With
great pomp he drove over and proceeded
to mix and administer his great discovery.
A couple of days afterward he returned
with a black eye, and nothing more was
ever heard of his discovery. The pugil
listic owner of the swine planted them
and then invested in sheep.
"If, owing to lice, foul roosting quar
ters or improper food, a few hens in a
flock die, and the rest mope about a little,
it is straightway pronounced cholera, and
they are dosed with some concoction of
drugs. Thon their house is cleaned out,
gravel, clean drinking water and a change
of food are provided, and in a few days
they are all right. The remarkable cure
is laid to the concoction, and the new phy
wician proclaims to the world that he has
got onto an infailablc remedy for chicken'
cholera, and a recipe for the same can be
had for a consideration.
"The fact is, if fowls aro decently
housed, fed, watered and cared for, they
will never get sick. In order to make
them so it will be necessary to introduce
disease among them from some other
Sock. Keep disease out of a flock, care
for it properly and there will be no neces
sity for resorting to concoctions of "roots,
barks and yarbs."
"Many poultry keepers tako great de
light in fiercely condemning corn as feed
for poultry. If the corn and cob aro
finely ground together there is no better
feed grown. Corn by itself is too fatten
ing, chiefly because it satisfies tho fowl
sufficiently to make it lazy. Poultry fed
on corn will spend most ot their time 10l- |
ling in the sunshine. This sort of food
and occupation is conducive to fatness
and laziness, which is invariably followed
by disease. Corn and cob meal and whole
oats mixed and dampened with hot water
makes one of the best winter foods for
fowls that I know of. Add plenty of
gravel or finely-broken crockery, clean
water, scraps from the table, vegetable
and apple parings, and any other groen
stuff that comes handy, and your her.s
will be healthy and lay enough eggs to
pay a fair profit on their keep. Scraps
from the table, peelings, etc., would cut
but a small figure with the person who
•keeps two or three hundred fowls. Such
a party should grind his coru and cob
meal twenty or thirty bushels at a time,
then add the oats. Before feeding add
one-fourth its bulk of fine cut clov^ hay,
dampen with boiling hot watetand cover
up tightly for an hour or more. If there
is a better and cheaper food for the chief
daily meal of yarded fowls I have not yet
discovered it."
HOW TO SELECT A GOOD LAYER.
How many poultrymcn can pick out a
good laying hen from a strange flock?
Not many can do it; yet it can easily be
accomplished after a short study of
make-up and characteristics. There
goes a hen with a thick neck, large head,
ill-shaped, walks listlessly about, seem
ingly with no purpose or intention in
view. She doesn't care to scratch, but i
hangs around the hen-house, evidently
waiting for her next feed. She gets up
late in the morning, and goes to bed
early in the evening. That hen mar be
put down as a very poor layer. The eggs j
of souK'of the other hens go to help pay
her keep. Here comes another hen. she
walks briskly, and there is an elasticity
in her movements that denotes that she
has something in view. She is ueatand
natty in appearance, small head, with a
:-'im neck, nicely arched or curved. She
forages and scratches all day long, and !
may be too busy to come for her evening
fowl. She is at the door in the morning, ;
waiting to be let out. She snatches a lew
mouthfuls of feed, and is off to the
meadow, looking for insects. Before she
gets out in the morning she generally d.-
. posits her daily egg in the nest, or re
turns after a snort forage. She is neat,
clean and tidy, with a brightness and a
freshness pleasing to the eye.
That is the hen that pays for her feed J
and gives a good profit all the year |
round. The writer has noticed these i
traits since boyhood, and knows that !
they arc- infallible. By studying these
traits, any man may in a few years, by ,
selection, have a fine laying flock ofhota.
Fanciers perforce must have good aud bad |
layers, as they breed for feathers m the i
• main, and the poor layer may be the bird
with the line plumage and markings.
This is not wholly the case, of course, but
it is partially so. In this connection men- I
don can >** marie, of the color of eggs, j
Take the Plymouth Rock as an example.
They do not all lay a rich brown egg, but
some of them do, and, by selecting the
eggs of those that do, ami selecting the
chicks from those e^gs that lay the de
sired colored egg it is-possible in the
course of a few years to have a good lay
ing flock of all brown eggs. When a
cross is needed, it is most desirable to
have a cockerel from a hen laying brown
eggs. Here is where the trouble arises,
but it can be easily overcome if several
poultrymc-n would pursue tho course of
grading up their flocks for brown eggs,
as spoken of above. Cockerels can then dc
easily procured, one from another. These
subjects are worthy of careful considera
tion, ami they both point to a better
tilled purse and more satisfaction, for
who is there that does not love a good
laying hen, with her merry cackle and
brown eggs? W Te leave the facts for the
reader to demonstrate.— K. P. Cloud in
American Agriculturist.
SPUING LAMBS FOX MARKET.
A lamb for market is nothing if it does
not get to market early. As the time for
the lambs to come is nearly here, some
preparation should be made for saving
them and pushing them forward to mar
ket. Thousands of lambs are lost at birth
from the cold, and especially when the
SVH are allowed to drop their lambs out
of doors or in open sheds on cold days.
The tirst.two hours in the life of a lamb
is sometimes the turning point of its ex
istence.
If chilled, it will not recover for a long
time (providing it does not perish), and if
warm and is soon on its feet, it will grow
rapidly. The feeding of tee lambs at toe
beginning must be done through the
agency of the dams, and the tirst essen
tial is to have the ewes give plenty of
milk. No matter how largo or well-bred
the ewes may be, if they aro not good
mothers they will fail in providing early
lambs. The lamb for market should bo
of a breed that grows rapidly and gets
ahead of all others in reaching the mar
ket. If the advice given hero last fall, to
use rams of the large mutton breeds, has
been followed, a great difference will be
noticed in the size and vigor of the
lambs.
li is now too late to undo any mistakes
made in breeding, but the best market
lambs are secured by the use of Oxford.
Shropshire, Hampshire or Southdown
rams, crossed on common ewes, or, what
is better, on graded ewes. Pure-bred
lambs will bring more than the market
price for breeding purposes. It is useless,
however, to attempt to secure high prices
and get the lambs in market early unless
resort is had to the males of the mutton
breeds mentioned. The ewes need a var
iety of food, anil though they should not
be fed too heavily just before lambing,
for fear of making them too fat, anil
thereby inducing milk fever, they should
not be slighted after the lambs are
dropped, for it will be all that the ewes
can do*to provide milk for strong, vigor
ous lambs. The lambs must not be ex
posed to severe cold, and at no time sub
jected'to dampness. As soon as they be
gin to eat give them ground oats (in
addition to the milk derived from the
ewes), which may soon be changed for
whole oats. It will be but a short while
before they will cat anything that may be
allowed, and if the lambs arc well bred
and well fed they will reach one hundred
pounds live weight when four or live
months old.— Philadelphia Record.
RUNNING GEAR.
The repair and renewal of running gear
is often a burdensome expense to farmers
who keep a variety of carts, racks, *.ami
wagons and riding carriages. Not Infre
quently this expense is largely increased
by lack of care, or by ignorance of the
effects which varied atmospheric con
ditions have upon the woodwork of
wheels. These, if badly constructed at
the start, are costly articles, though they
be had as a gift. To attain the best and
most economical results, it is necessary
to begin with honestly-constructed gears,
and then give them intelligent care. Tho
idea is quite prevalent that wheels do best
when housed upon an earth floor—a prac
tice that is not only unnecessary, but,
under ordinary conditions, positively
harmful. Besides the actual wear by use,
the agents most destructive to running
gears are moisture and the sun's heat.
Unless the woodwork is thoroughly pro
tected by paint or varnish, it will swell
whenever it is wet, causing "springing"
of the spokes, splitting of hub and felly,
and, perhaps, the "dishing" of the whole
wheel. If a gear is not thoroughly pro
tected by paint, it can readily be seen
that an earthen floor, usually quite moist,
is, therefore, not the best kind of support.
When wheels aro long exposed to tho
sun's rays there is likely to be a shrink
age of the wood that opens the joints
readily, admitting moisture. When it is
necessary to leave a cart or wagon out of
door, let some old blankets or pieces of
carpeting bo thrown over the wheels, or,
better still, have on hand a sheet of cheap
cloth large enough to cover body, wheels
and all. Frequent painting "of farm
wagons, etc., together with care as to ex
posure will save many dollars of expense.
A light carriage or wagon that is driven
upon tho road should have its rims
painted and the whole vehicle varnished
at least once a year. That will go a long
way toward protecting it from tho action
of the weather.— American Agriculturist.
ROTATION OF CHOPS.
A Saline County (Mo.) correspondent
of (Jolemaii's Rural World writes: "I
have had some practical experience this
year in the value of rotation of crops.
On my own farm I have a regular system
of rotation—wheat, clover aiid corn—and
corn is never 'planted more than two
years in succession. This year twenty
acres were rented from a neighbor, just as
good or better than my own land, but had
been in corn for four or five years. The
yield is thirty or thirty-five bushels of
inferior corn, while mine, with just the
same cultivation, will average fifty bush
els or more of good, solid corn. One of
the greatest evils of this or any other
country is the tenant system. The owner
will not, and the tenant cannot, care for
and improve tho soil. Under such a sys
tem I>oth people and soil deteriorate. The
ownership of largo bodies of land by
single individuals is not for the best in
terest of any community and should bo
discouraged by legislation."
TAI'.-NI NOTES.
Do not crowd your animals, but sell off
the surplus. Xoo much stock is as un
profitable as too much land.
Always slico your turnips, carrots, or
other roots that are fed raw, as the cows
are liable to be choked when this precau
tion i:i overlooked.
The cold, porcelain nest-egg is a thing
of torture to the hen in winter, especially
as she is compelled to bring her body in
close contact with it.
No farmer is compelled to search for a
market if he has B superior article to sell.
It is the inferior articles that become a
drug. Choice goods are always -salable.
It was an old-time expression that a
careful farmer always had a hammer in
his hand and some nails in his pocket.
At this season of the year it is applicable
yet.
A bushel of peanuts, subjected to very
high pressure, yields one gallon of oil.
In some.countries the. peanut, castor oil
bean; and sunflower, are grown exten
sively for oil alone.
A stylish horse is appreciated by all,
but for a family, wh.-rc a horse is required
for the use" of timid ladies, or for children,
an old, gentle horse will relieve the
farmer of much anxiety in regard to tho
safety of those who'ride. When a horse
Stands in the stable for a few days, it is
sometimes too frisky for a timid person.
The hawks in the country play havoc
with' tho sparrows. The number de
stroyed by the sparrow-hawk is very
large, and but for tho hawks the sparrows
would be a greater nuisance in the coun
try than near the cities. They keep near
dwelling-houses as much for protection
against their natural enemy, the hawk, as
tot food.
Tho remedy which Professor Maynard
recommends, which he thinks wiH cure
yellows, if timely applied, and which will
doubtless be useful in any case, is to
spread broadly around each tree equal
quantities of muriate of potash and ni
trate of soda, with about four times the
weight of ground bone. The application
to be mr.de early in spring.
A correspondent of the Horse Breeder
gives the following mild treatment for
warts: "Saturate the warts every few
days with pure castor oil, and they will
disappear, leaving the surface as smooth
as though they were never there." We
have known of several cases where warts
were removed from the noso of colts by
SACRAMENTO DALLY KECOKD-trNIOX, THTTBSDAY, JANUARY 15, 1891.—SIX PAGES.
simply rubbing them with lard occasion- |
ally.
Fannie Field, in Farming World, says
that if the eggs as they are gathered are
rubbed with good fresh salt butter, and
then placed in st jar with the thick cud
downward, and oovared with salt, it is
the best way to preserve them. They daro
not touch each other. When the jar "is full
an inch of salt is put on the top. Two
inches of salt is put in the bottom and
covered with thick paper. They will last
six months.
When the farm foils to produce the
crops that once were easily grown upon
it the best course to pursue is to restri'-t
the acreage. Cultivate only half the !
space, or even less, and concentrate all I
your manure on it. The crops will soon
be larger than were secured from the en
tire farm, lees expense will be incurred,
the farm will improve in fertility, and that
portion which is unused will be benefited
by the seasons of rest given it.
The fact is not so well known as it de
serves to bo, that cream constitutes an
admirable nutriment for invalids. It is
i superior to butter, containing more vola
tile oils. Persons predisposed to con
sumption, aged persons or those inclined
to cold extremities and feeble digestion
are especially benefited by a liberal use
of sweet cream. It is far hotter than cod
liver oil, and, besides being excellent for
medical properties, it is a highly nutri
tious food.
A good way to utilize broken glass ami
crockery ware is to pound it up for the
birds. It will cure indigestion sooner
than any medicine than can be given,
and the hen that is well suppliou witii
such material will be less Liable to disease.
It is the sharp, cutting edges that enable
the hen to grind her food; Bound grave]
is of no use. Don't be afraid of class.
Pound it to the size Of wheat, and the
gizzard will attend to the rest. Keep tho
liens supplied with all they desire,— :& A.
Mortimer.
An excellent and clean fertilizer for all
kinds of house plants is to add :i ua
spooniul of superphosphate to one quart
of water. Stir well, and add one table?
spoonful of saltpetre and a.gill of soap
suds. Make fresh mixture every two or
three days. Use it for moistening around
the roots of plants in the pots. It is also
an excellent wash for the leaves of plants
if tho superphosphate is omitted; It is
plant food of the best kind, and the
plants will grow and thrive fully as well
as if supplied with liquid manure.
Scientists state that there are no mi
crobes in milk when it comes from tho
cow's udder, but that tho moment it
comes in contact with the air of a filthy
stable, or own where the surroun.ling's
arc clean, the microbes cuter the milk.
This demonstrates that when young ani
mals procure their milk from the dam,
instead of being allowed milk to drink,
they aro less liable to the disease. Tho
precaution of heating tho milk (not boil
ing it) should be used when giving it to
very young stock.
When clover is made a special crop on
the farm it will seldom be the case that
nitrogen will lie lacking, especially if a
crop of clover is turned over occasion
ally. On grain-growing farms, whore
stock is also kept, and the manure ap
plied to the soil in addition to the plant
food provided by growing clover, the
phosphates will usually be the best fer
tilizers for the farmer to procure. One
bag of superphosphate, or boue meal, on
each acre of land will show wonderful
effects in such cases.
In describing what may be teemed the
"intensive" system of dairying, an En
glish authority tells us that the cows
should be well groomed daily, and in hot
weather they are all the bettor for a
shower bath in the morning. This can
be readily given where there is a supply
of water by gravitation by means 01 an
! india-rubber hose. The cows are easily
kept clean, and thrive under such treat
ment. They never leave their stalls, and
when the milk yield falls below eight
quarts per day they are sold. Will it
pay to wash cows?
An Australian expert is reported as
saying: "The finest and softest of wool is
always on the shoulders of sheep. An
expert in judging sheep always looks at
the wool on the shoulders first. Always
assuming thai the wool to be inspected is
really line we first examine tin: shoulders
as a part where tho finest wool is to be
found. This we take as a standard, and
compare it with tho wool from the ribs,
the thigh, tho rump and the shoulder
parts, and the nearer the wool from the
various portions of the animal approaches
the standard the better."
Many farmers know little of bacon, says
the Fur7ti Journal. They are acquainted
with pork, but never took the trouble to
prepare any bacon. It can be done as
easy as to roll off a log. Cut the sides of
tho pig into strips four to five inches wide
and salt with this pickle: For one hun
dred pounds of bacon make a brine with
six pounds of salt, four ounces of salt
petre and one pound of brown sugar.
Cover the meat and keep it in the brine
six weeks and then give it a light smok
ing. Sew the pieces in cotton cloth bags
and paint them with lime and ochre
mixed in water.
