It -> 1 SJiouId Ec Mixed Y.TUi S;G3 Ivepi Moist, Sol Y. ,-t. Hon manure, like Peruvian guano ancl-ftll other fertilizers rich in ammo nia, should not in its fresh undiluted state he permitted to come in imme diate contact with the toots cf plants, nor with the seed. The Geer of the poultry house should be strewed with powdered muck, or woods earth, or laud plaster to fix the ammonia aud purify the atmosphere. Subsequently the manure should be composted before being applied to the tield. Usually for vegetables it should be broadcasted and raked" in. For greenhouse use it is nearly always applied in liquid form, sparingly and cautiously at all times, as it lias the tendency to “burn” if used to excess.aud like all other nitrog enous manures produces leafage rath er than bloom. The dung of all domestic fowls and of birds generally lias marked ma- nurial properties on account of the large amounts of ammonia and phos phate contained. Hen manure could be successfully used for any greenhouse crop if composted with five times its amount of soil (or better, sods), aud to every barrel of manure 15 pounds of pure ground bone and five pounds of sulphate of potash, the whole to be cut down and well fined and mixed before using. The same could be used for vegetable growing in the hills, or could be simply mixed with enough dry earth plaster or rock phosphate to dry it and be spread on the garden and harrowed in. t n All greenhouse crops thrive equally well with the use of lieu manure. For the purpose of watering plants the pro portion of manure that may be mixed with water varies according to the sort of plant. About one ounce to two gal lons of water may generally be used with safety; some plants will, however, bear a stronger solution. An excellent plan of applying hen manure is to mix a portion with (in any case) several times its bulk of soil or garden refuse, and so form a fertilizing compost which may be applied to al most any garden crop with excellent re sults. Composts thus prepared become useful in two ways: The powerful properties of the manure become, when mixed with soil, partly absorbed by the latter and are thus rendered less harmful, and at the same time the de composition of ail the vegetable matter is hastened. The quality of poultry manure to ap ply also depends somewhat on the na ture of the soil. If broadcasted on the land and well worked in with harrow or rake, as much as 1,000 pounds per acre may be used. Damage from its ase^occurs mostly when applied to crops in hill or from lack of rain. We have never seen too much used. The difficulty has been that farmers use too little of that duplicate guano. If the poultry droppings are collected daily, mixed with an equal bulk of dry dirt and stored in barrels, they will be in excellent condition for use in the garden when required. But the fre quent admonition to keep them dry should not be followed. If allowed to become dry in the poultry house, por tions soon reach an insoluble condition. If collected daily and kept somewhat damp, not wet, they will not lose am monia and will give better results when applied to the soil. — A. V. Meersch in Farm Poultry. Louisiana Finn Stands Accused of Aw ful Crime. Forest H-II, La., Jan. 7.—-Yesterday two children of G. E. Keener, aged IS months, and an infant, were found dead in bed with their skulls crushed.

Winter Park, Fla., Jaii. 4.—A sad shooting accident, on account of which Ed Self, a former citizen of Winter Park, lost his life, occurred near Plant City on Tuesday morning. Mr. Self had gone from Plant City, where he had lived for about a year, on a hunt ing expedition in company with a friend. They were in a buggy, and when about 4 miles from town stopped to look for quail, and while Mr. Self was hitching the horse a covey of quail flying from the place, the friend, in the excitement of the moment, fired at the birds without noticing that Mr. Self was in. x-ange of his gun. The result was that a large part of the charge en tered Mr. Self’s body, inflicting wounds from which he died. Florida Tourist Season On. Jacksonville, Fla..

Hens wiil crowd on the roosts even when there is an abundance of room. I believe that this crowding causes thc-m to rest less perfectly than they would if not crowded, and thus their strength and productiveness are lessen ed. Again. I think this crowding causes them to overheat and thus become more apt to take cold. To prevent these evils I bore holes five-eighths of an inch in diameter, eight inches apart from cen ter to center, for Rocks, seven inches for Leghorns, in the upper sides of the roosts and stick wooden rounds about 15 inches long in the holes. If the rounds are only a few incdies long, a lien will sometimes fly up between two hens and light on top of a round.—Ste phen Barnsdale. Guineas. Why not raise a drove of guineas? asks a writer in Farm Journal. Their eggs are as good as hens’, and their flesh has the flavor of wild fowl and is popular with epicures. Their danger signal makes them equal to the best of watchdogs in giving warnings and scaring off prowlers. They are no harder to raise than turkeys and will glean a living from orchards and fields. The white guineas are preferred by many because they are peaceable and more domestic in their habits than the pearls. Suicide at Talbctton. Talbotton, Ga., Jan. 7.—William Ed ward McNeil, manager of the Talbot ton telephone exchange, committed sui cide yesterday morning by cutting his throat with a razor.
