Farm And Garden Notes.
Ileus over two years old are not /
profitable to keep for egg Pr0 uc ^
lion. . ll
Allow uo male bird to run "u ' |
tbc females unless eggs are wanted
for hatching. _
A good plan in feeding corn is to ^
feed it to fowls on the cob. Let r
them do the shelling. | t
It is slowly but surely dawnng *
upon the minds of American farmers .
tliat fowls do pay a profit. ,
Young chickens should not be foi
for twenty-four to thirity-six hours >
after leaving the shell.
Pure breeds will give better re
Urns than the mongrel dead-beats
tolerat 'd by our grandparents.
jf. vtr drive a colt with an old bar
ue s or one that is liable to give way
with a little extra strain.
\ handful of linseed meal added
to the usual feed of ahorse will make
its coat uice and sleek.
II some of the big calves butt the
smaller ones about in the pen sepa
rate them into two pens.
Cut a pumpkin or squash in hal
ves and then stand back and enjoy
watching the fowls pic it at it.
Grains, in the order of their value
as poultry food, are as follows:
Wheat, barley, buckweat, corn, oats,
rye.
piaster froiri old buildings broken <
up and given tlio fowls to pick at J
will furnish them lime to f rm the ,
shell of the egg. J
A dusting place should be provid- ]
ed lor the fowls Pry road dust is j
best, but sifted coal ashes is good in j
1
lieu of the former. ;
It requires as high a temperature .
to ripen the fruit of the tomato in
the North r.s in the South, seedbed
nursery are necessary to procure
fruit.
Nest boxes should be soc n-druc
ted as tc exclude the light. Biddy
prefers a quiet, secluded pla e. She
will not be so likely to acquire the
egg eating hub t either.
The breeds that produce the lar
gest number of eggs are Minorcas,
Hamburgs and Laghorns. Those
that attain the greatest weight are
Brahmas, Cochins and Plymouth
Hocks.
Ouions chopped fine and mixed
with the soft feeds are excellent for
fowls. Care should be taken, how
ever, not to Led to many, or the
eggs will have a decidedly unpleas
ant favor.
Avoid a Louse were the wind can
play hide and seek through the
cracks, crevices and knot holes Sore
eyes, swelled heads, and, worstofall,
roup will be the 1 t of fowls confined
in such quarters.
Where a large number ofchickens
are hatched annually an incubator
and brooder are indispensable. TLe
old hen is out of date for hatching
purposes, and we want her ouly in
the capacity of an egg producer.
Pork is‘‘looking up’’ so much
since the foreign embargo on it has
been removed that those who have
breeded stock for sale smile and are
happy. The man who will sell his
best pigs at six to eight weeks old
fattenning at any price will be fool
ish.
A first-clasi trough can be made
in a few minutes ot chestnut, pine,
or hemlock plank spiked firmly to
gether, with coal tar soaked on all
connecting edges and candle wieking
saturated in the same stretched there
on before nailing. Such joints never
leak cor rot.
Parsley is very easy to grow. Set
some plants from the garden in a
cool corner of the greenhouse or else
in a rather warm window', then you
may have parsley leaves all the win
ter. You can sow seeds at any time
or dig old roots now and plant in the
window.

“How long will it be before you
get this work done?” asked a lady of
a workman who was painting her
house.
“Well, I don’t know, mum,” said
he. “The governor has gone to look
for another job. If he gets it, it’ll
be done to morrow. But if he don’t
I’m afraid it will take all next week.”

A Good Suggestion.
The adjourning of the impeach
ment court last Saturday,on account
of Gen. "Weaver’s belly-ache, cost
the people of this commonwealth
nearly $500. One dose of Chamber
lains’ Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy would have saved this ex
pense; and we suggest, as a matter
of economy and humanity, that the
state provide against future contin
gencies of this nature, by furnishing
each senator with a bottle of that
valuable remedy. 25 and 50 cent

At Orlando, Fia, a young gentle

attract considerable attention. She
has no triends in this country, and

“ That is not too much money for

across a New England Yankee who
was in charge of a gang of natives
employed in making excavations.
Long lines of naked men were scrap

placing it in baskets and then carry
ing it on their heads to dump into
the Nile, just as ihey did in thedays
of Moses.
“Why do you, an enterprising
Yankee, work in this way? Why
don't you get shovels and wheelbar
rows?” asked the traveller.
“I have got shovels and wheelbar
rows,” he replied, “but the men will
not use them. Their ancestors
worked in this way in the days of
Raineses, and in spite of all my ef
forts they insist on working so now.

A learned divine one day accosted
a simple hearted Christian busy in
his daily toil:
“Well, John, it is a long and hard
way to heaven, is it not ?”
“Oh, no, sir,” was the answer; “it
is only three steps.”
‘ Three steps! How is that, John?”
“Why,sir, nothing is plainer. First
step out of yourself; 2nd, step into
Christ; 3rd, step into heaven.”—Ex.

Therefore beware if you have any of
the following symptoms: Short

These symptoms mean heart disease.
