Fattening Fowls.
The period in which fowls may be
fattened, ready for killing, varies very
considerably, according to the condi¬
tion they may be ia when separated
from the flofik for the purpose. In any
case from two to three weeks ought to
bring them into good condition.
Even if quite fat when selected out of.
the fl ick, it is best to keep them by
themselves a few days and change their
food to clean grain, and give them
plenty of puro, clean water, Where a
couple of weeks’ confinement is required
it is better to give them the liberty of a
small pen than to crowd thiee or four
into an ordinary coop. For twelve
hours before killing no food should be
given. Unless intended for a market
where dry picked fowls are preferred,
scalding is the most expeditious way ot
removing the feathers.—[New York

Covered Adjunct of the Stable.
We may usefuLly study just now the
value of a covered yard for storing
manure and for exerciso for the stock
in bad weather in the winter. These
yards are quite common in England,
where the rainfall is little more than
half a3 much as it is hero, and no farm
steading is considered complete with¬
out one of sufficient capacity. As tho
manure is tho most valuable farm pro¬
duct, it is wall worth preserving from
damage and loss, and a covered yard
will certainly pay for itself in 10 years
in the better keeping of the manure
alone. The manure is wheeled to tho
yard every day and spread evenly. Tho
stock quickly pack it solid, when a
slow fermentation goes on without any
injurious heating or the escape of any
volatile valuable matter, no disagree¬
able odor being even perceptible. The
straw and other coarse litter is decom¬
posed, and when tho time comes for
using it tho manure i3 found to bo in
tho finest condition. — [New York
Times.
Barreling Apples. ,
The President of tho Ontario Fruit
Growers’ Association, in relation to his
plan of barreling apples, states the case
as follows:
Choose a solid place on tho ground
and place a barrel upon a solid piece of
plank. Lay tho first course of apples
with the stem-end down. The packer
should not take special samples for this
course,but just take them as they come,
and place them so as to make a solid
row on the bottom. The next row also
should be put in carefully with the
blossom-end down. The barrol should
be shaken down on that solid plank
after each basketful. When tho packer
comes to the top of the barrel, ho evens
them off according to the variety. One
variety will press down closer than
another, and this is where a little judg¬
ment and experience is required.
A man must know every variety ho h
packing, in order to know how many to
put in a barrel; whether he will fill it
to the chine, an inch above the chine,
or even further. Then the last row
has to be placed in an oval position
before you put the press on, with the
stems up, so that when you put the
press on they will press down evenly
and level, and afterward, on opening
the barrel you cannot tell at which end
you commenced. That is a barrel
packed properly, and it will carry, and
carry thoroughly.
Better Than Smoke For Bees.
Tho British Beo Journal gives the
following as a better way of quieting
bees than by smoke: One and a half
ounces Calvert’s No. 5 carbolic acid,
one and a half ounces glycerine, one
quart of warm water. The acid and
glycerine to be well mixed before add¬
ing tho water, and the bottle to be
well shaken before using. A piece of
calico, ot preferably cheose-cloth, suf¬
ficiently large to cover the top of the
hive, shculd be steeped in this solution,
wrung out dry, and spread over
the hivo on the removal of tho
quilt, when every bee wi.l quick¬
ly disappear below, and manipu¬
lation may be slowly and quietly per¬
formed without annoyance from tbc
bees. The same plan is effectual
in driving tho bees out of section-cases.
From unsealed sections they often
refuse to bulge, but a little blowing
through the strainer will always dis¬
lodge them. All of our sections are
thus removed, and we have never ex¬
perienced the slightest scent of flavor
of the carbolic acid attaching to the
comb or honey. This unpleasant re¬
sult occurs only to bunglers, who
either use too strong a solution or do
not wring out the carbolized sheet
sufficiently dry, and so bespiinkle the
comb honey with the solution, and
charge the evil result of their stupidity
on those who recommend the process.
The strength of the solution quickly
passes away, as the acid evaporates
when exposed to tho air.
Lime as a Disinfectant in Hog Cholera.
Experiments made with lima upon
tho virus of hog cholera have been very
satisfactory and sufficiently positive to
warrant its me in place of the corrosive
sublimate formerly recommended. Limo
has many advantages over other disin¬
fectants. It is cheap, easily obtained
and prepared and may be used with im¬
punity, as it has no poisonous proper¬
ties. Bacteria of hog cholera, free
from any organic or inorganic matter,
are destroyed within one hour by lime
water diluted to ono-fourth of its origi¬
nal strength. When existing in organ¬
ic matter a larger per coat, of lime is
required. Ia practical applications it
will be efficient on wood as a wbite
wash. In infected pens tho soil should
bo covered with powdered or slacked
lime in a thin layer. The lime water
will percolate into the deeper layers of
tho soil and destroy any bacteria that
may have penetrated into them from
tho surface.
From experiments on the vitality of
hog-cholera virus in the soil it is safo
to say that a period of six months is tho
maximum and three tho minimum'time
that need bo allowed for infected pen3
and grounds to become safe for occu
paneywhon , no disinfection ...... is . prac
ticed. Lime as a whitewash on wood
work, or scattered ^gver the soil at
slacked linos, used, in short, wherever
thcro is any suspicion of virus, may ro
duco tho time during which the ground
should remain unoccupied to two weeks.
From the results of the experience
gathered at the Experimental Station
during the past throe years it has been
shown (1) that healthy pigs can be kept
free from infection even on a farm
whore such disease is constantly kept
on hand for purposes of investigations,
provided they are kept in clean pen3
and there is no transmission of virus
from*tho sick to tho well through im¬
plements, or through the cirolessncss of
larm hands carrying it in their clothing,
shoes or otherwise. (2) That the dis¬
ease may bo carriod to a pre¬
viously uninfected locality by pigs
brought from unknown sources.
(8) That the disease supposed to
be extinct, may lurk in a chronic form
in some animal without being recog¬
nized and may be thus transmitted to
fresh animals, usually in spring and
fall, when least expected. (4) That tho
safest way of raising swiao is to breed
them on a place that is itself known to
bo absolutely exempt, and maintain a
strict quarantine against neighboring
herds and make no additions unless tho
source be positively known to have
been free from disease for at least one
year past.
Farm and Garden Notes.
Squashes grow in very odd shapes at
time?.
It is an important item to keep tho
colts growing.
Corn is not only king, but it is the
fodder of our country.
Nearly every farmer has something
he can give away that will mako a
brother farmer somewhat richer—an
experience.
Tho successful gardener or florist
must feed his plants all they can digest,
and care for them as a stock-raiser
would for his show animals.
Pile the coal ashes where they will
be ready for use next spring among tho
currant bushes. That is, unless you
take them each day to tho hen house.
It costs no more to keep good fowU
than poor ones, Therefore save your
best pullets for next season’s breeders.
Success depends as much upon good
management as upon the breed.
Equal parts of clover hay and straw,
either wheat or oats, together with a
small quantity of bran, forms a food
equal to the best timothy hay and at a
cheaper rate.
Growing and breeding stock require
food to develop bone and muscle rather
than to fatten. Matured stock, on the
contrary, should be given food of fat¬
tening properties.
An English naturalist says that if
pans of water are kept in fruit and
berry patches, the birds who eat the fruit
only because of thirst, will take the
water and leave the berries. It is sure
ly worth trying.
Siltpetre—nitrate of potash—dis
solved ia soft water in the proportion
of one-half ounce to the gallon, is an
excellent fertilizir for home plants. It
furnishes potash and ammonia. Once
a month u often enough to apply it.
Burning the Dead.
Cremation societies are being aug¬ the
mented in this country by women of
“strong-minded” class, who are joining
them rapidly. In New York, Brooklyn,
and Boston particularly, there are a great
many well-known women enrolled among
the cremationists, and the movement is
endorsed by a still greater number who
have not taktn pains to become members.
Mary A. Livermore, Lucy Stone, Miss
Peabody, Clara Erskine, Clement Wa¬
ters, Edna Dean Proctor, Lillian Whit¬
ing, Lucy Larcom, and Miss Whitney are
among those in Boston who advocate
burning the dead. In New York there
is a yet greater company of literary and
artistic women, and throughout the
country the prominence and numbers of
cremationists are surprisingly large. Au¬
Many members of Sorosis, of the
thors’ Club, and the Artist League are
cremationists, and the rank and file of
heterodox people are its advocates.
Among Unitarians, cremation is gener¬
ally accepted as the best mode of dis¬
posing of dead bodies, and not a few or¬
thodox Christians favor it earnestly.
