INTERESTING POULTRY NOTES. Iou't Begin With Too Many Breeds Keep Thoronglibreds Only Ahont the Turkey. Start out with good stock. Endeavor to have your flocks uniform. Keep everything clean; it will pay you. An extra dollar or two for a superior breeding bird is money well spent. A gooil supply of road dust or dry earth and fine gravel are won h a gooil many dollars to a poultry breeder dur ing the winter. One of the best remedies for damp poultry-house floors, also an excellent deodorizer, is air-slacked lime. Gas lime is also good. Do not neglect the water fountains. Keep them filled with freth, sweet, clean water. In rainy weather keep the yards drained so that no impure water will be where the fowls may drink it. Do not destroy eggs that have been deserted by the hen, or in cases where the incubator lamp has gone out and they have become cold. They often hatch a good percentage of strong chicks. Don't begin with too many breeds. Select tlie one that best suits vour sur roundings and stick to it. By careful selection you can then build up'a strain that will be satisfactory to yourself and patrons. Although a damp roosting place is an abomination, fowls prefer a wet roost free from vermin to a dry one that is in fested with them. This may explain why some people's chickens "prefer to luool on trues. It may be taken as a very good rulo that short-legged will fatten juore rap idly than fowls " well up on their pins." This is important to the broiler raiser, whose object it is to get nice, plump birds as soon as possible. Keep thoroughbred fowls only. There are enough breeds and enough sizes, shapes and colors for any purpose. With a mixed Hock one cannot lay down any set of feeding rules or glean any reliable information from his statistics. In other words, he never knows where he is at. Always keep shells and grit before your fowls, and for confined birds straw or refuse bay, cut about one-third of an inch in length, should be furnished them. Besides tlie much-needed exer cise obtained by scratching in it for seeds and grain, ttiey will eat a large portion of it. The turkey is an industrious forager, land picks up the greater portion of its food; therefore the dillerence in tlie i weiglit of a large and small bird is an 1 imnortant mutter, hrimmu. thu i,..ii, ,l cost ot production down to a low sum when large and small weights are com- pared. , There is one advantage of hatching VhiVk3. during winter in California, and " ''1 f'e,',lol" from vermin, which does J101 "urease nenny so rapidly as during hite spring and summer weather. This is where the incubator proves of great value to the poultry mber, as it is next io impossible to get a satisfactory supply tetting hens before February and ollen later. LOOK AFTER THE MANURE. It is not necessary for experimental stations to tell us that nn.nilies kept continually exposed to rain and sun answer, but the second is ol no very dif ticult solution. Mix manure liberally with absorbents, and keep tindir lover. Many old-fashioned bams contain no cellars for storage of manure; and, for that matter, there aro very potent objec tions to putting manure right under stock, so that poisonous gases will con tinually arise to befoul tlie air above. Why not build a cheap "lean-to" against the barn to cover the manure which is cast out? This may be made very rough and inexpensive aiid provided only with a roof (sides would be better). The idea, of course, is to prevent the wa ter from eaves and skv from leaking through the manure and removing tho best and most available portions. Bed tlie stock well with straw and absorb ents sufficient to retain all the liquid, says a writer in Practical Farmer. Land plaster is excellent to fix the ammonia that gas which is so easily lost; and coal ashes, as they come perfectly dry from the stove or furnace, are good'for the same purpose. It is well known that the ground beneath a manure pile be comes saturated with fertility ; so it is wise to remove this soil to a depth of six to ten inches, cart it way and replace with a quantity of new, dry soil, which in turn should also lie drawn out and spread on a field or meadow. The mat ter of saving manure cannot be looked into too closely. It is folly to depend on commercial fertilizers when much of our own manure goes to waste. watering tub seedbed. American Gardening savs : It is com mon among amateurs and" some profes sionals who sow seeds of various kinds, either in or out of doors, whether the soil is moist or not, to water it imme diately after sowing. From repeated trials 1 have found the aliove practice to be a serious mistake. If the soil or com post in which the seeds are sown is moist at tlie time of sowing, do not water, as the soil la-comes still" and forms a crust on the surface, which prevents the seeds from pushing through. After sowing the seed in anv soil, except an extremely dry one, wait a dav or two before watering, until the soil dries up pretty well. Then water gently with a line sprinkler sutficientlv to moisten the soil moderately throughout, which will suf fice until the soil shows signs of dryness aeain. Do not do a a great nianv'do give a little sprinkling evervdav." This only makes tlie rase worse. ' A Ilrmarknbte Court nrrnr,l.
