Do not let very fat old hens be un necessarily exposed to the hot sun for want of shade and then wonder why they drop dead from apoplexy. Presumptious ambition to raise many birds before success has been attained with few has wrecked many who might have done well with poul try if they had started more cau tiously. What poultry pick up on the wide range found on the farm and the good exercise they get when roaming about enable the farmer to raise poultry more cheaply than anybody else can. Some who think they would like to have oyster shells for their poultry, but who do not like to buy them, can pick up clam shells along streams and pound them up into something quite as good as the prepared oyster shells. The time is upon us when eggs are expected to be low in price. They are just as wholesome and nutritious now as when they are worth four times as much per dozen, but the av erage person begins to think he does not like eggs about the time their price falls. This is a queer freak of wide proportions, feeling that eggs are more desirable when they will sell for the most on the open market. Waterglass is the best medium for keeping eggs in good condition for some months that the farmer can use, but packing eggs in bran or salt is likely to be more convenient for the farmer. Either will keep eggs in fair condition for some time if the eggs are strictly fresh to begin with, but the salt or the bran should extend at least two inches beyond the eggs on all sides, the top and bottom included. While eggs are cheap those who wish to economize in the securing of food may feel that eggs are being used on the home table so much as to become tiresome. They should consider in how many ways eggs can be prepared for the table, and how different they will look and taste when prepared differently. When using meat that is not salted there is more or less danger that its con dition will not be the best in hot weather, and digestive troubles may result. But if eggs are bad, it can be noticed before they are put on the table, and they are to that extent to be preferred. Apoplexy is more likely to appear among poultry in summer than at other seasons. Extreme heat may cause it. Its immediate cause Is a rush of blood to the brain, when a blood vessel is burst. Over-eating or sudden fright may cause it also. If an affected fowl is taken in time, treatment may help, but usually it is too late for treatment before the trou ble is noticed. The treatment is bleeding from the under-side of the wing, but the bird should not be bled to death. A cool place where the fowl will be quiet should be used to keep the bird in after treatment. If it is desired to dust a large num ber of chicks that are at least as large as quails it may be quickly done by a simple arrangement that any intel ligent man—and many women —can make at home. Use a barrel that has two fairly good heads, cutting an opening in the end about eight by ten inches, and arrange hinges or buttons to fasten back the part that is removed. The chicks are put in the barrel through this hole, some in sect killer is put in the barrel, and the barrel is rolled over the ground. The chicks will flutter and stir up the powder till it penetrates every part of their feathers. There should be a few holes bored in each end of the barrel to yuit air and prevent the chicks With such an may be given at intervals of a week about three times, so as to kill lice that may hatch from time to time, and the work will he quickly and thor oughly done. Rolling the barrel about a minute is enough.—Progres sive Futrmer. Feeding Beef Calves. A. G. P., Jeffersonton, writes: We have a bunch of pure bred Angus calves which we. wish to keep growing and in nice shape to sell as breeders. They are five to six months old and weigh about 500 pounds. Have been running with the dam so far, but we will wean them and put them v on grass in a week or two and want V) feed, so they will suffer as little set back as possible when the milk sup ply is cut off. What grain ration would you suggest and how much? We are now feeding them four pounds per head per day of a mixture of equal parts of cracked corn, crushed oats and wheat bran. Answer: It is a very difficult mat ter to wean calves that have been raised on the dam without their suf fering any setback. oppor tunity to do this is wTienfLey are go ing on grass which pr<*J des them with a succulent, nutritioiY, and eas ily digested food, and one Miat keeps the digestive system in fine Ikndition. Do not turn them on grass \soon, u.s young and watery grass ]p\. A un satisfactory food, and particularly for young calves. You have acted wisely in teaching the calves to eat grain freely, and do not think of any sug gestions that can be made for improv ing the ration, though the whole grain can be fed with equally good if not better results than the crushed oats and corn. The mixture suggest ed is a very good one, indeed, and should be fed ah libitum, though care should be taken to see that the calves do not eat too much. It will be neces sary to continue the grain ration and keep them on the best pasture avail able to keep them from “going back.” As to the amount of grain that should be fed per day, that must be determined by the individual feeder and by the individual capacity of the animals. The vigilant feeder can de termine this point by watching the calves daily. A little oil or linseed meal might be added to the ration with advantage, from one-quarter to one-half pound per day being suffi cient. A tablespoonful of dried blood will also prove helpful at times. These condimental foods supply protein in considerable amounts, and have a toning effect on*the system, generally speaking. Dried blood in particular has been found quite useful as a cor rective for white scours, and this point should be guarded carefully if the calves are weaned suddenly and put immediately on grass. If the weaning process can be made gradu ally and the calves taught to eat some bright hay and the grain ration suggested they are not so likely to suffer a setback as if they are cut off from the milk supply all at once.— Professor A. M. Soule. Plant Ensilage Corn. When I was growing corn for the silo, and annually putting up 600 tons of it, I always planted my silage corn in July, for there it followed a crop of clover hay on the same land and, in the cultivation of the crop, clover seed were sown again, so that on that rich bottom land I generally got two tons or more of clover hay and twenty tons of corn silage every year. I was engaged in cleaning the bottoms of weeds and making manure for the hills, for with this annual treatment there was hardly any such thing as exhalation of that bottom land where the was nearly ten feet deep, be ing the accumulation on an old mill pond bottom where the stream had cut a deep channel. On any moist lowland of good fer tility July is early enough to plant the ensilage corn. It then comes in at a comparatively leisure season, where a man grows no tobacco or cotton, and even the cotton will not be push ing much early in September when the corn is ready.—W. F. Massey. Angora Goats. There are four points in favor of Angora goats: (1) They will im prove pasture by killing weeds and brush. (2) They yield fleeces of fair value. (3) The flock increases with reasonable rapidity. (4) They sup ply the land with very good fertilizer and distribute it evenly, there being no large piles of it. Sheep are the only other animals that can compete with the goat in regard to point one and two; and, as for improving a pasture, particularly if it is has much brush in it, the do not compete vere strongly. Raise Pure-Bred Cattle. If our farmers will raise pure-bred stock and feed liberally, judiciously and regularly, make and save their own fertilizers and raise stock enough to warrant slaughter houses to come into their midst, they will find a good paying market for good beef stock; otherwise raise, feed and ship in car lots to New York, Baltimore or Chi cago at profitable prices.—Progres sive B'armer. _____ t V } When to Cut Alfalfa. There is one especial point that we wish to call attention to in cutting alfalfa* That is, pay no attention to the blossoming period, but look for the sprouting of the next growth at the root crown. If the sprouts for the next growth are out, cut the alf alfa whether blossoms appear or not. If they are not out, do not cut it.— Hoard’s Dairyman. > Cabbage Worms. The treatment for cabbage worms is to dust the cabbage while the dew is on the plants with a mixture of eighty parts flour or lime to one part of Paris green. As far as my experi ence goes it seems that heads in which worms have worked rather free'y show a decided tendency to rot during hot weather. Good For Seed. Treating the seed of corn, okra, watermelons and other seeds a coat of coal tar and then rolling them in dry ashes or dry earth will keep everything from disturbing them in the ground.
