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. ? JimfiJtomecrat.

>' FERTILIZING VALUE OF BONE.
. The fertilizing value of fine bone is
Vnuch greater than tbfct of coarse bone.
jTho latter may lie in the ground lor
jyears while very fine bone is readily de composed
and taken up by plants. The
fimproved condition and increased value
>of our bone manures is to some extent
ia result of the action of this station,
which in the year 1870 first carried into
effect the method of valuation based on
,'the mechanical as well as the chemical
* analysis. Tttuugcii-111 rtiw tyicst iwnr-h

BAI/TINO STOCK.
"Too many farmers salt their stock on
? [the "impulse, or spasmodic plan.'-' Thnt
[is, they give them an extra allowance one
y, and in perhaps a week or fortnight,
cording to the urgency of farm operations
or the importance they attach to
(this matter, deal out another supply.
'This is certainly a wrong practice, as
- . stock should be salted at least twice a
,wcgR*TUift rryUiiy I am positive that
!if the housewife knew wTiaf litnmprnrhmt
factor this salting of cows is in buttcrimaking,
some one would attend to it in a
(more systematic manner.
I This can be done by providing *'salt
[bores" attached to a fence, building or
post, provided either ,~ith a hinge cover
or h swinging door in front, in which is
(kept a supply of salt. In either case
(leave the door open for several days, and
(when closed you will be surprised to see
liow quickly cattle, horses and sheep
[learn to open it. You will also learn
ithat by the old plan you have failed to
[give them an adequate supply. If possible,
have the cattle box separate from
ithat for the horses, as the former nro
irntlier dainty on this point.?Ifeio York

j EVAPORATING FRUIT.
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.

\.' 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

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>

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

Geese prefer parsley and plantain to

well to remember that full development
of the crop, if of corn, will insure greatest
feeding value of the ensilage.
One advantage to he derived from
mulching small fruit, strawberries, etc.,
is that it keeps them back in tiie spring
and there is less danger from frosts.

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.
Heifers coming In at two or thereabouts,
who were not fresh again for n

came in at three or thereabouts, and were

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.
Occupation* for the Blind.
English commissioners of education do
not recommend music as an occupation
ior the blind. Although it is a favorite
pursuit among Mind persons, competition
in England is so keen among even seeing
musicians that only exceptionally good1
training can command success,and many,;
indifferently taught, relapse into playing*
in public houses or in the streets, and, not.
infrequently, into sheer heggary. The
commissioners point out that for the
larger number industrial occupations,
such as hasketmaking, brushmaking.canllijl"
and riinn ivnrk mut ?n#l mutlronu
making, rope and twiue spinning, weaving
and other minor trades, must always
prove more useful.

punish bii and his pons. The boos were slain ,
m battle, and Eli fell over and died, when i
he heard of thoir death,
Samuel told the people they must obey
God; hut the |>eoplc asked for a king. So the ,
Lord had Samuel tell them what a king would
make tliem do, and gave them Saul for a
king. Samuel then gave up his rule over the
people, and made a farewell address. But
Saul disobeyed God, and Samuel was told to !
anoint David as the king of Israel. Goliath,
a great Philistine giant, dared the army of I
Israel to send men to fight with him; but
David slew Goliath. Saul's son Jonathan |
loved David, but Saul was jealous of 1
him and tried to kill David, yet Diavid nobly |
spared Saul when ho could htfve easily killed

this Sullivan has submitted to sovero training,
exercise, dieting and abstinence, until he
is pronounced a perfect specimen of physical
manhood. If all this be true, it suggests tho
possibilities respecting any man whose bodily
