Kgs* in Winter.
A correspondent of - the Massaehu'
Fetts Ploughman, who has been vey
Successful in the poultry line, writes in
the middle of January :
“ 4 depend on sound wheat f.,r egers
in winter; something better than wheat
screenings. 1 give as much wheat and
shorts, with a liftle cayenne pepper,
mixed hot, the first thing in the winter
morning, as will be eaten at the time
Then a good supply of wheat, scattered,
in chaff or old hay, to be scratched out
during the day. And, if the weather
is cold, corn is given at night. At any
other time it is bad feed, from lack of
nitrogen and albumen, if eggs are
wanted.
l: .-craps fiom the table, bits of bone
pounded unburnt, refuse in short,
leavings, animal and vegetable, all come
in play, and are richly repaid in eggs.
Pure water is given daily, and a con
stant supply of ground oyster shells is
kept at hand. If hens of the right
breed —[ prefer the pure white Leg
horn—have proper food and water,
quiet,, a warm sunny house, absolute
cleanliness and freedom from vermin,
they will bo tame, healthy and profita
ble.
u My flock of twenty two white Leg
horn pullets, began to lay the latter
part of November, and during the past
seven days, they have laid one hundred
and seven eggs, or an average of 15 2-
7 per day, in mid-winter, v.ith the
thermometer varying from two to fifty
deg roes The highest number laid in
one day being nineteen and the lowest
fourteen eggs."
Destroying Yellow Dock. —It is
useless to try to get rid ot this pest
unless you can get your neighbors in
terested with you. I have been trying
for years to get rid of this troublesome
pest, but have hardly succeeded as yet,
but in a manner have diminished it
very much. V* hen the ground is soft
in the spring, or immediately after a
shower, pull it up by t v e roots and lay
it on some log or brush-heap aod burn,
being very careful after the seed has
come to maturity not to scatter it. By
this method you can get rid of it.—
Never pull and throw it in the highway,
as by so doing you can never succeed.
How oft- n do we see, in passing through
the rural districts, the highway literally
filled with obnoxioue weeds which have
been pulled for years and thrown there
to reseed, and bv so dcing make it more
difficult to eradicate? I always mark
that man as unworthy ot being called a
tiller of the soil. Get your neighbors
to join you in this work and you must
succeed in destroying this pest. Cor.

I Fattening Poultry. —The London
yield states that poultry properly fed
will acquire all the fatness needed for
marketing purposes, in a. fortnight or
three weeks at most. 1 heir diet should
be Indian , oat, or barley meal, scalded
in milk or water—the firmer is the
best, as it will expedite the fattening
process. They should bo fed catly in
the morning, at noon, and alsu in the
evening just before going to roost. A
plentiful supply of fresh water—plen
ty of gravel, sliced cabbage or turnip
tops. If the fov'b ore required to be
very fat, some trimmings of fresh mut
ton suet may be ehopped up and scalded
with their other feed, or they may be
boiled in milk alone and poured over
the meal. This renders the flesh firmer
than it otherwise would be. Vv hen fit
to kill, feeding shou’d be stopped for
twelve hours or more, that the intestines
may become comparatively empty.
Watering Poultry— lt is the be.
U 'f of the writer that many of the dis
eases incident to poultry are due to
neglect in providing them with pure
water ; particularly do I believe such
to be the ease in the majority of in
staines where cachen cho era prevails
The omission to furnish fowls with suit
able drinking water is one of the worst
features of cruelty to animals. It is a
neglect that is decidedly averse to suc
cess, hence temlsjo diminish inutv.du.i!
fancy for fowls, and works detriment to
poultry interests. Those whom we oc
casionally hear say that “ there is no
profit in poultry ” are not qualified to
have me management of the same, and
in their attentions may be classed with
the thriftless and neglected parties who
keep fowls that get drink when it rains.
