The end of- the breeding season seems to be the appointed time for hens to get broody. Earlier in the year when their services would have been most welcome great difficulty was experienced in finding sufficient 4 to sit on the desired number of eggs. 1 5 August is too late for the utilizing of C y their broodiness unless a few duck I eggs be set under some of them. At t this time, too, the scarcity of eggs. makes it the dsire of all, poultry Iceepers to brealk up their "broodies" and have them laying again as soon as possible. There are many way# of breaking hens of broodiness, and the more bar barous ones such- as tying the hen up f by one leg, throwing cold water over t her, or making her stand. in water should be forgotten and practiced no longer. The same and better results, can be obtained by more human maeth ods. Placing the hen in an ordinary coop, with a slatted bottom, and suspending t the coop from the ceiling of the t C t Coop for Broody Hens. scratching pen about a foot above the floor by wires or chains attached to the four corners has been found effi cacious. A gentle swing whenever en. tering the pen will soon make the birds desirous of joining their more busy companions. A little Epsom I salts given in a mash and an abundant 8 supply of green food should be given. I, All foods which have the slightest S tendency toward heat production, such v as corn, meat scraps, etc., must be withheld for a few days. Take the bird in time. It is prac tically Impossible to break a hen after allowing her to sit on a nest a for two or three days, It should always be remembered I that in the ordinary course of nature a hen that has laid persistently all winter and spring, demands a short rest, which broodiness gives. ONE HOT WEATHER TROUBLE When Diarrhea First Makes Its Ap pearance It May Be Checked by Use of Charcoal. (By H. B3. SPECK.) Diarrhea is one of the most cam mon hot weather troubles in poultry of all ages, and when it makes its ~ t first appearance, charcoal freely fed may check or control the disorder. Di arrhea may be due to food or drink ing water being foul wvith droppings e or other filth; to feeding impure,a musty and moldy food; to overheat. I ing; to feeding in dusty, musty or I -moldy litter; to unclean quarters and dampness; to overfeeding on meat food or feeding spoiled meat; to eat- o - ing poisoned substances or to indiges tion from any cause. The first thing to do when diarrhea makes its ap pearanco Is to find the cause and re move it. Drinking from filthy pools .. in unclean runs after a sudden show. er, or drinking barnyard seepage is1 a common cause of diarrhea in hot Lweather. Watch the grit box. Keep all your houses wide open( day and night. Don't crowd your birds. Give them -all the range you can. See thqt your little chicks haveI plenty of shade and water. Sell the rooster and buy an alarm 'clock. It's more useful now. Wheat and oats are better hot weather feeds than corn and Kafir. riDon't forget to keep down the 1ice; Sjust a little grease .on toD of phisk's ,head is good.

NOTES s;.e ROOK Never excite a dairy cow., Furnish homes for the birds. Comfort is cheaper than corn. The colt needs good attention. The charge of milkers is, as a rule, detrimental. Clip the horse. It will help to keep him healthy. Irregular times of milking are al ways damaging. Plenty of shade for yarded poultry fBocks now is required. It is not a good plan to mix warm milk with that already cooled. Keep the chicks growing. They will appreciate any tender green feed. For the fence flying habit, try clip ping the larger feathers off one wing. Corn stalks are good fertilizer and should be loft on the field after cut ting. Exercise is better laying stimulant for the hens than heat-producing con diments. Eggs deteriorate rapidly in the pan try or kitchen these days. Keep them In a cool place. Establish, it possible, a brand of eggs which will in itself be guaran tee of good quality. A small box to sit upon is a great back saver in the garden. Try one when picking the currants. Overfeeding of green cut bone Is apt to cause leg troubles, diarrhoea, bowel complaints and worms. Nothing aids so much in destroy ing a herd by tuberculosis as a poor ly lighted and Illy ventilated stable. Every heifer calf should have an inheritance that will make it possible for her to make a better cow than her dam. The cow with the big-gest appetite, other things being equal, is the one which will give the most milk and butterfat. If you wish that young heifer to develop into a wild cow, turn her in an out-of-the-way pasture where you seldom see her. The lower the temperature at churn ing time the smaller will be the loss of butter fat and the less washing the butter requires. Oftentimes the. .one who h'as dairy, butter for sale must take his pay in trade, while taose wvho sell cream get nothing but cash. A good way to strain milk is to put meveral thicknesses of cheese cloth over the can and hold the cloths in place with clothes pins. A large digestive tract should be developed In the heifer so she will be able to handle large quantities of food when she reaches milking ago. Manure does not improve the taste or quality of the milk. See that th&. cows a-re clean before milking, gype cdally about the thighs and flanks. Young turnip, cabbage and beet plants make the best of greens. It is but a small job to plant these at dif-. ferent times, and they can he had all summer. Lack of care In feeding Is far and away the most fruitful cause of trou ble, and the man whosei horse is trou bled with Indigestion has usually only himself to blame. If you haven't a silo, a small patch, of roots will make succulence for. your cows next winter. Mangels yield. heavily per acre. Only a small amount need to be planted. According to the New York experi ment station, the cost of food, per chick, to weigh one pound, on ground grain, Is three cents; on whole grain, three and seven-tenths .cets. If celery i-ots.quiokly i6 yolt cefl it mag' ~.:ret~idsed In the Mrdeu through te early winter by :baniing up well and covering with boards- and straw. Thene Is a frdsher favor when. it Is kept near the soil than when grown in the cellar.
