^^^^^^^^^FnNTFiRKAT RRIiATIVR AND GARDEN. beoinnino the pocltrt business. Wr < Sometimes it is not easy to decide how to stsrt. The first thing for the beginner Is to determine whet breed he likes best, smd that would be suitable to his purpose, no matter what others may like or elect for their use. You must individually suit your own tastes pmd purposes, (or you will uever be satisfied. After having decided, thrf next thing to consider is of .-whom you will purchase. It is uot 'best to start on a cheap plan; as a genoral rule it is with poultry as with other things, the cheapest is the dearest in the icnd. Do not canvass the country to fiod the man who sells eggs or birds at low prices, but rather find one who sells the (best stock at reasonable prices. ?

I An authority advises that with small fruit will not evaporate in as good condition as that which is more solid. The heat should be given gradually, takiug icare at all times not to get too hot. It is !an easy matter to burn the fruit, or dry lit. so that the natural juices, are all extracted, and the fruit will be nearly or 'quite all seed and almost tasteless. After securing the right temperature to dry [rapidly, keep it so as nearly as possible. The damper can be used to advantage. After a start is made usually thg lower jtrays will dry faster, and it will be a igood. plan to change, and then the travs lean be doubled up; that which is in two jtraya can be put into one and the-empty (one be filled with fresh fruit, and in this [way a system of emptying nnd filling can !be kept up, luid with a fair-sized evaporator it will require the steady work of tone person at least to keep it going. A jgood plait after it has dried is to put it lin muslin saclfp without starch and lay in >4lie aim fot two or three days. The fruit |will keep better than if it is sorted in Ibpxes or barrels. i \.' MULCUINO TREES. Mulching is generally applied to trees if or one of two-objects; late in the fall or early in winter as a protection against thawing and freezing during the winter. And in the lattdr part of spring or early summer as an aid in retaining moisture in the soil. By its aid a better growth and development is secured, but at this time itls possible to allow it. to remain too long, and cause as much injury to result as benefit, has' lieen derived. Time must be given for the new growth of wood to fully mature and harden before freezing weather sets in. If not manured, the liability of lieing injured by freezing is considerably increased. AU >)owlng !1rj mitlcTl to remain around the trees too long, or continuing the cultivafinn lahi uritl aul Voo?\ Ko growing and lessen the time for the wood to mature. This is especially the case where the trees arc growing in good, rich soil, and good cultivation has been given early in the season in order to induce a thrifty and vigorous growth. If the trees Jceep on making new growth, the bettor plan is to remove the mulch and not stir the soil. In many cases this will check the growth sufficiently td induce a proper hardening. Young trees are often severely injured by ifreezing the new growth of wood, often so severely tjiat they never fully recover from the effects, and it Is certainly advisable to avoid this as much as possible. After the ground freezes hard, the mulch can be applied again in order to ,prevent injury from thawing and freezing. But eArly in the fall and until the ground freezes hard, and then again after isettlcd weather in the spring until early |in the summer, the mulch should l?e re. imoved from around the trees.?Farm> Field and Stvckman. HOW MANY 8HKEP PER ACRE? This question has been nske<! us: How many sheep can be mantained j?er acre on a farm as a specialty? We have submit ted the question to several persons having some experience i? keeping sheep. Those who have answered have agreed generally that large breeds reqnire more food to mantain them in good condition than the smaller or Merino breed, which weigh only about one hundred |>ounds. Two reply that light, average sized sheep require about the same amount to keep them that CQC cow does. Another says that be has ... "? - s? ~ . % found thai with large Shropshire grade* that will average eight to nine pounds of wool per fleece, and weighing one hundred and thirty to one hundred and fifty pounds each, are as seven to eight to one cow in the food to keep them. Now it is estimated that the product of two acres of what we call good land in Indiana will keep one cow under the pasturag^ and dry feed methods of farming. So by these statements it is seen that tho product of one acre of good land will keep four head of sheep per year. This is on the assumption that the pasture season is a idu nvurugu out-. Wlin IOWO IHCU one may readily estimate the profitableness of sheep farming on our fairly good lands. Considering that flocks of large broods may and do average?evon pounds to the fleece aud that about ninety per cent, of the increase is saved, it will bo foung that there is profit in sheep husbandry. The value of sheep as fertilizers, of course, must be taken into account. But a new era has dawned in live stock farming, and its advantages* are as grout in sheep husbandry as in ether stock. We refer to the silo and ensilage feeding. The noted dairymnn of Wisconsin, Mr. Hiram Smith, says he fully believes that with this ucw method of stock farmiug one acre of good land may be made to keep a cow. If it will, then the products of one aero may easily keep seven to eight head of sheep, for it has becu found that ensilage may be fed to sheep with most excellent results. A gentleman who has tested this matter says: "The effect of fcsdincc ensilage to sheeo Js verY_gratifyingjn the post few years, and TceajuJ^CTto ewes is as excellent as feeding cows with it. They were in splendid condition at lambing time, and I never saw healthier or more thrifty Inmhs. I fed all my sheep corn ensilage and some hay daily, but very much preferred the silage. After over two years' practice I found them more thrifty nnd hcnltliy than my flock was before, and I think that I can keep nearly double the numl>cr of sheep on the some quantity of land I could in the old way of feeding them."?Indiana Farmer.

Planting of young Irees is to ho urged, because they grow more rapidly than old ones, us their roots are comparatively much less injured in taking tip and resetting.

If you intend to build up a dairy herd it will pay you to feed your young heifers something besides corn?give them some oats. You will reap the good of it in their progress as well as in churn. Success in farming comes principally from learning how to do everything and the exact time when it should he done, adding the not extravagant presumption that the farmer is industrious and frugal. The importation of dairy breeds of cattle has been much better sustained in the last few years, than that of the beef breeds. Importations of alt kinds have fallen oil, but of the latter more largely than of the former. In starting what might he called an ordinary dairy herd, one should begin with heifers or young cows of moderate size and good quality, with shapely hags, and on these should be put a well-bred hull from a good milking strain. In regard to the advisability of clipping the queen's wing, some twenty prominent beekeepers, as reported by the lift Journal, seem pretty equally divided in opinion, about half of them making n practice of doing so, the others not.
