Thinking many sisters of the Housekeeper lik u myself, are trying |o make the raising of poultry a suc cess, I wi|| give a partial account of tbs way f manage. Of course I keep ft few breeds of thoroughbred chick ens, such as the Wyaudotts, Black Javas, Plymouth Rocks and Brown jUefoma. Of coarsegrown Leghorns lay tbs most eggs of 407 hut the Wyan- dotts are worthy of much notice. 1 j have been raising the Wyaudotts for J several years, and J And them pop- ; ping out of the shell with as much vigor as the Brown Leghorns. They pome with plump bodies and stock3' fegs that carry them about as lively jp young quails. They feather quick ie and seem to suffer no iuconve- pipnee from the drain upon the sys tem which naturally occurs at that period. They are good foragers, hut Jdtflfl.f l u . c b 4 dispositlqp piat they fret but little when confined. As la3’era they commence ns early as five or six months, and ijj some instances, fimve shelled out a Iqng time before Iwcnmlpf broody. I haye hens that Jay from thirty to forty eggs before Iwcomlng broody. Then besides I have a kind of liking to have m3’ hens lay Ip the winter when the eggs .command Ihe highest prices. J have often been asked the question: “How «lo you make >’our hens lay so well in gold weather?” T answer by string *‘I feed them.” I£eep Lent ypprself, jf you pant tp, but don’t make your jiphs fast with you. In the first place your poultry house wants to be fixed Warm and comfortable, by having the pracks and crevicee all closed to keep £he north and the southeast, and all jthe c.old winds out. For morning feed I take try big iron vessel, put it on the back of the stove and throw waste scraps into it with clean water," let it boil, season slight^- with salt, ca3'ennu pepper, and mix stiff with a mixture of chop consisting of grpuud yerp, pats, brap, and middlings. ^lix stiff and feed liot. For noon I throw Wheat among hay and straw scattered for the iieus to woik at for exercise. At night I feed corn, oats and wheat. £ keep fresh water before them all the ^ima. Skim warm milk with pepper in It will makp hens lay profusely. For lliqa I keep old plaster before j^heui. The best of all is to feed plen ty of fresh meat raw or cooked. I jtot fourteen eggs from one pen of seventeen hens on New Years day prhich was a very cold day. The best way of being sure of having good winter layers is to set liens very earl3’, lu February and early March; keep iu — ^ an d *WV<*FP they will lay in August of September. Then by having early chicks 3’oj can keep what pullets you want tor layers •nd sell the rest for broilers which feqpmand good prices. A FEW roCLTBV NOTES The best soil for the henppry to oc- pupy is a dry, sandy or gravelly one. Light, warmth from the sun’s rays, ^borough ventilation, and an interior }hat can always be kept dr3’, are the prime needs for a good healthy fowl house. Keep the nest of your sitters free from lice during the whole term ofin- c.qbatiou. Set heug ip t|ip pyeuiug father than by daylight, '{to®* will be more sure to stick iu t^c nests af terwards ; let thpw fPipe pff the nests jlaily and eat, imd drink, and provide j»dust box for them to roll in: and pee that they go back to their npsts before the eggs chill. In feeding your chicks a few bread prutnbs soaked in milk are good for the first two or three days. Do not bs afraid of usiqg 4 hFftfWtt daily ji| plpftplng Pt|i {b® poultry bqi|4e t Limnn Thompson.

The Farmer’s Home Joiiunial tells us that the n>akcis of choice butter con sider it of much importance to stop the churn at the critical period where the grains of butter have attained the size of pit) heads or mustard seeds, when the fuldilinn of a little cold water qr V ea k brine is made, and af- |er a very slight agitation the butter milk is drawn oil' and the butter granules thorough^’ washed in cool water or weak briiiS; ty'hich hastens thp separation of the milk. "When the water runs clear from the churn, brine—as strong as can be made from the purest salt—is poured over the butter at tejnpefqtnre of about 60 de grees, and it is left to stand, with only an occassional stirring, for several hours, that each little granule may accumulate about U 4 thin film of the salt. It is then drained as dry as pos sible, saving the brine for use again, and ma3’ be pressed firmly into the customary mold without much of the usual worljhjg, whjch iu reckless hands spojls 30 much butter 1)3* break ing the grains and making it a greasy, shiny mass, instead of glistening and dewe3’. If preferred, it ma.v be pack ed iu jars in the granular state, in bripe, until wanted for use, when it is moulded like fresh butter and will be likely to be as good. A HI-.AIjTIIY growth.

A singular effect of a gale of iee and snow In the northwest during a cold wave last wipter was to freeze tno eyes shut and then form an ice over tho face.

Nut but that it is far more desirable that ducks have access to a lake or stream ihan otherwise,but they will get along with a small cupply of vvater ip a pond or tank a few feet across, in a way that the others could not near so well do. Kept in such a manner, ducks will not otii3’ be found profitable and orna mental around a garden,but servicea ble ;tbe3’ offer the advantages of being voracious ipaeet consumers, and of neither scratching up seeds or roots nor flying about mischievously’. It Is a special recommend that that the3’ will destroy’ tkpie great plagues of the’ garden, namely, slugs, n thing that even hena will not do. One of our friends once had a garden or. sandy soil, which as a result of heavy ma nuring, needed to fit the soil for vege tat ion, became terribly’ filled with slugs, cutworms and other insects; the young plants were destroyed and roses and other bushes great ly marred. “Some dupks ’’was suggested. Eight or pine of these were brought, turned into the garden and given free range. The result wag astonishing; in a few months the insects seemed used up, after which the flock of ducks was re duced to thr,’’?, and these kept to guard against further trouble. To be sure,some things can bo brought against the keeping of ducks in the garden, but these do not offset the hepefits. They have a great liking for strawberries, about the only fruit they will trouble. Keep them from the strawberry enclosure during fruit ing time and trouble is averted. The Muscovies eat bads and young shoots —we cap keep other kinds which do not. But ducks do trample down the plantsand tilled earth, audeat young leaves. This is, the ippst serious charge against them, hut it may be reduced to a small thing, by not giving them free rap ge at all iimes. Turn them into the garden only’for an hour or two daily’, and that in the morning, when the dew is on the plants. Then they will seek mostly for slugs and similar pests. At other times they may be about the lawn. "Where there is no natural bed of water for ducks, pains shuuld be taken where they are kept, to provide a change of water in a clean tank eyery dqy, Til' 3 should be located near the water tank or oth er supply’, for pqpveuieuce.—Pojmlar Gardening.

The public generally were well informed of the progress of tho Russian railway to Samarcand, but little has been known re garding a still moro important line that tho British have been constructing to Central Asia from the opposite direction. Since Jon. 1 this new line, the Candahor railwav, has been opened to Killa Abdulla, 5,000 foot above the sea level; and there is now a daily service of trains between Killa Abdulla and Quetta, with caravans from Candahar and Herat stopping at the farmer place to unload and transport their goods onward by rail. From Quetta tc, Candahar the railway will run in almost a straight line, and its construction will be exceptionally difficult and expensive. From Gulistan to Chaman, on the Candahar side of the Kwaja Amran range, the distance is only thirty miles, but tne estimated cost of the railway along this f ort of its course is $400,000 per mile. ending the construction of the pormanwnt line, it Is tho intention to open up com munication with Chaman as soon as possible, by means of a light mountain railway. One of the chief features of the permanent lino is a tunnel two and a half miles long, upon which English miners will bo employed. The importance of this railway to tho Anglo-Indian empire can scarcely be over estimated. As a commercial enterprise alone, it cannot fail to be of the greatest utility, as by it tho productions of central Asia Can find a more direct outlet to the sea than by any other route. But the In dian and British statesman will regard it os mainly of importance as a means for the transportation of troops to the confines of India and central Asia in the event of any threatening advance on tho part of Rus sia, or iu case of a rupturo with that power.—Frank Leslie's.
