United Btate as a Moat Producer.
Although our wheat crop is much
larger than that of hint year indeed
our winter wheat was exceptionally
good yot the fact remains that wo aro
never likely to sell as much gram to
foreign nations as wo did from 18(7 to
1881. For one thing, we eoimume more
grain for ouivelves, for there aro 10,000,
000 nioro of m now than there was in
18S0, when iliu hut census was taken.
Hut while wo will e.port Iosh grain, wo
shall send abroad very 'much larger
quantities of beef, mutton, pork and
lard. This will bo an advantage to us,
for tho cropping of grain robs tho soil
of its fertility, while the mining of cattle
not only eniichos tho laud but returns
us a larger profit. Since 18(10 we have
developed prodigiously what may be
called our beef, bog and ilch crops. In
1870 wo had 2:1,820,000 head of cattle.
grow nioro grain than wo can consume,
while our animnl food products aro bo
abundant that wo could feed half tho
world and havo enough for ourselves
besides. Demorest's Monthly.
Weaning Lambs.
Weaning latnbH is no trifling a(Iair.
Too much care cannot bo given a lamb
when tho time comes for it to set up
living for itself. This come nt the
season of tho yenr most trying to the
system. Unions specinl preparation is
mndo by providing a reserve pasturo
with extra feed, tho process is n hazard
ous one, and often disastrous. Tho
young thing may never havo tnken n
mouthful of grain feed in its life, pnr
ticulnrly if it bo a late lamb ; it has no
idea of food, other than its mother's
milk; tho supply of thnt has been
lessoned by dry wenthcr nnd short feed,
until at tho very door of starvation
Huddonly it is separated from its mother,
and tho alternative of cnt or die is
forced upon it.
Tho proper way is to remove tho
owes from tho pasturo wlioro tho lambs
have run all summer, and in which they
nro acquainted, for a couplo of weeks, to
allow tho grass to mnko n fresh growth.
With nn old owo or two for company,
put tho lambs in this, putting tho cwo
flock as far away as possible for threo or
four days. In a trough in which the
lambs havo boon accustomed to Hud
salt now let them Jlud some brnu and
ontB at first; afterwards add a little
corn. Begin very slowly, as thoro is
danger of overfeeding at first. Once
lot them learn to cat enough without
scouring, and tho futuro is easy. Some
put tho lambs right into tho barn and
give closo attention to feeding and
watoring for n fow days.
In the West, whero tho lamb Hock
amounts to hundreds, very nico atten
tion is given on a separate ranch that
has been held in reserve for their especial
uso. .Somo clean, swoet grain for wean
ing lambs on is quite indispensable.
Tho greatest danger is scouring, and
ouo which llockmnsters dread, not alone
as difllcult to cure, but ono so hard to
kcop from becoming epidemic in tho
Hock.
No prettier sight can ho scon thnn n
bunch of well-bred, well-weaned, healthy,
growing, full-foil lambs. H. SI. Doll, in

In 18S.r we had 15,000,000. At tho
puiHimt rate of increase, wo shall havo
7i).000,000 in HUM and 110,000.000 in
llUl.'i. Then tho great corn crops we
havo had since 1870 havo enormously
increased tho number of hogs for our
own use and exportation. For the last
two years our corn crops wore unusu
ally large, while it is very promising
this year, and this means that hog
products of all kinds will bo plentiful
and cheap for two years to como. Wheat
can bo raised in many quarters of tho
globe, but the only available cattle
ranches ouUido tho United States ato in
Australia and South America, but wo
havo tho decided advantage of being
nearer tho meat-consuming nations.
Then, within ten years thoro has U'ou a
wonderful development of ilsh food, duo
to tho artificial hatching of fish ova by
the National and State Fish Commission.
Thoro nro probably twenty pounds of
ilsh to-day available for food where
there was ouo ten yean ngo, and tho
process of stocking our streams is still
going on; and. thou there will bo im
iiiouso additions to our poultry and
dairy products, So far as physical

Kindness is prolltablo. Kindness to
farm animals puts money in tho pckc'.
Harsh treatment excites tho animals,
and nervous excitement consumes tho
fat of tho body very rapidly. "Laugh
and grow fat," is a true proverb. It has
boon oftou demonstrated that excite
ment will cause a cow to eecroto milk
almost devoid of cream. It follows that
a steer cannot deposit fat when us
nervous system is disturbed. On the
other hand, tho quiet, undisturbed ani
mal makes a good uso of its surplus
food in laying on llesli and fat. It is
apparent that tho feedor should rear all
his animals with kinduoss, using no
roughness when among them. This
leads us to another point : If cattle are
properly treated, home-grown cattle are
more profitable than those purchased ;
for cattle brought to a strange place re
quire several months to get over tho
nervous excitement caused by tho
change, and during the time they will
not make so much llosh and fat from
their food as if they wero quiet. West

POULTRY NOTES.
One most important thing in tho
feeding of chickens is a supply of green
food. If they aro being rean'd on a nico
piece of juicy grans they can do without
anything olso, but even then a supply
of fresh lettuces will bo to their benefit.
Should there not bo good gras, tho let
tuces become indispensable.
Young turkeys, although the most
hardy of fowls when mature, nro the
most sensitivo when young. It will bo
woll to keep them at first confined in a
dry abed or in somo plnce where they
can have room for exercise, nnd they
must bo kept free from rnin nnd damp
noss, as this will bo sure-death to them.
It is a mistako to plnce the roosting
polos at dilFeront heights rising from
tho front, bocauso all will strive to got
on tho highcBt one, and tho weaker ones
aro crowded off and frequently fall to
tho ground only to repeat tho process,
or, if injured, to remain on the ground
all night. I'laco all the poles nt the
samo elevation.
If you do not possess that dosirablo
breed of hens that lay all winter, now is
tho time to begin to pack eggs for tho
winter supply. Gather thorn every day,
and pick nono that you aro not abso
lutely suro aro perfectly frosh. Wo have
found salt the hctt packing material,
and tho eggs should bo "lnid down" tho
day thoy aro gathered. Keep tho egg
box in a dry, cool place, whero tho snlt
will not gather dampness.
Setting lions should not bo fed whilo
on tho ucst. Thoy need all tho exorcise
thoy aro Iikoly to got. Too constant
setting makes them of bnd disposition,
nnd difllcult to ninuago when they como
oil' with tho brood. Eggs will stand
a wido rangoof tompcrnture without in
jury. It is tho your.g geoso that should bo
markotod this fall, as they bring a bettor
prico than tho old ones, and aro more in
demand. In fact, tho old gcoso aro not
salable at all, unless by deception, ns
thoy aro tough and not easily cooked.
Keop tho old ones for breeders. What
wo wish to stato is that before you send
geese to market got them as fat as can
bo, for they will bo more attractive, but
a very fat gooso is not as nico as ono in
moderate condition.
Earth tn the Stable.
Nothing will purify and keep a stablo
so free from odors as the free uso of dry
earth, and every ono keeping horses or
cattle will find it pays to keep a heap of
it on bund, to be used daily. A fow
huvclfuls of earth ecattorod over tho
floor after cleaning will render tho air
of tho apartments pure and wholesome.
The value of tho season V manure pile
may bo largely increased by tho free uso
of such absorbents. The strength of
tho gases and liquids absorbed is re
tained, and is the very essence of good
manure.
Tho Farm Journal has discovered
that tho grand requisite of success,
without which tho celebrated breeders
would bo little distinguished above thoir
neighboring farmer, is feeding. It is
food and management that make a
beautiful specimen of any strain of
blood. A skillful feeder may often
grow a more perfect individual animal
out of a throo-quartor blood than nn
indifferent feeder will out of tho longest
nnd most fashionable pedigree animal.

Selection of Turkeys.
Our plan may not find many advo
cates among tho breeders of heavy
weight turkeys, but nino out of overy
ten old turkey breeders will say wo aro
right in that. Wo do not strive to got
abnormally great size in our breeders,
cither male or female, and wo do this for
tho vory good reason that tho eggs of
the largest hens are not as large, as a
rule, as those from fair to good-sized
hens, and it i protty generally conceded
that for active vitality and suro brooding
tho male must not bo too large. It is
merely a question of corn and ago as
far us size and weight is concerned, or
largely eo, for wo havo taken tho com
mon scrub turkey and niadothom woigh
twenty-live pounds at two years or less
of ago. With tho larger breed of turkeys
a goodly weight can bo made with very
ordinary care and a small amount of
food; therein lies the superiority of these
good breeds over tho common.
Hut in picking out tho hens for next
spring's breeding, do not let great weight
alone inlluouco you. Good form, flue,
short drum sticks nnd tquarc bodies and
breasts aro what is wanted. Much tho
same with the male in buying, look to
tho samo points. Wo havo deemed it
necessary to drop thoao words of cau
tion, seeing that so many appear to
think that tho oxtronio weight possible
is the main thing to Ihi desired in breed
ing turkeys. Kuty, in Amorican foul
try Journal.
Ducks.
Ducks aro a very pleasant feature of
farm yard surroundings. In tho last of
tho winter and early spring they are
sociable and busy enough, especially ou
warm days, and begiu to lay very early.
Tho duck almost always lays her egg
between six and nino o'clock. So tho
flock must bo shut up until all have
laid. Wo havo found ducks to do bet
tor if they can bo confined at night, in
winter, in a shed whero tho horso man
nro has been thrown out, than auywhero
else. Hurley and oats aro excellent feed
for ducks. If these or any grain aro
thrown into a shallow tub or trough,
they will soak and bo all tho bottor rel
ishod. Pekin ducks aro among tho best
layon, by far tho best iuouroxperienco,
laying not unfrequontly sixty to eighty
oggs each, in the spring, and often again
in tho autumn, if tho weather is warm.
If ducks are not confined at night they
will nest in somo hedge-row or secluded
spot difllcult to find, and ono will bo
como broody after laying Bixteen or
twenty eggs, or ns soon as alio has a good
clutch. When confined ns wo suggested,
they rarely make nests, but drop thoir
oggs about anywhere. Ducks aro very
fond of watercress, nnd if thoy havo ac
cess to tho watercress bed at tho spring,
thoro will soon bo nono loft for tho salad
bowl. Wiro netting a foot high, will
form an effectual barrior. American

Parasitic Pests ot Poultry.
Fannio Field recommends catching
tho big lice with a pin from the heads
of tho chickens. Why not uso a louso-
trap callod a fino comb? It is much
quicker and moro effectual. I occo saw
n little chick nigh unto death, tho pic
turo of distress, and unablo to follow the
mother. I picked it up, took a comb
and found tho top of its head shinglod
with theso tormentors. After removing
these, I combed out a nest of thoin un
dor tho bill, from its back nnd around
tho vont. After thoy wero romoved, I
greased tho littlo victim's head and un
dor tho bill. Whon I put it down it ran
gnily after tho mother, not appearing at
all liko tho inisornblo object it was a fow
moments before. It had no doubt been
rcliovcd of a great weight. After tho
hen had gono to roost at night, I took
tho other chick-B and combed ono or two
from each. Fanny will think I am nn
unskillful chickon raisor. But I nm not
in tho poultry business ; wo keep a few
hens to lay eggs. This lion stole hor
nost, and took upon horsclf tho respon
sibility of roaring n family.
lied Mites. I had an oxperionco ono
season with red mites, and thnt week of
terror wns enough for a lifo timo. Somo
of tho family camo in snying, "I'm all
alivo with something, nnd I beliovo it is
chicken lice, for I havo just boon in tho
hen houso nftor tho eggs." I prescribed
a bath and tho clothing to oo spread
upon tho gooseborry bushes.
An experiment was curried out in
Franco a fow yours ago todeterminotho
rolativo vnluo of lions and ducks hb egg
producors. Tlireo birds of each Bort
wero selected for tho trial, nnd between
the first day of January urnl tho last
day of August tho threo hens lnid 257
eggs nnd tho threo ducks -102. More
over in tho nutumn of tho previous year
tho ducks had produced 215 eggs nftor
tho hens had ceased laying altogether.
Of courso ono such experiment does not
conclusively decido tho rclativo morit
of tho lions and ducks, but it shows that
tho latter nro not to bo despised as egg
producers, nnd thoy aro in many ways
less tronblcsomo than chickens, and aro
of great uso to destroy slugs and snails
in a garden, whero thoy will do no harm
if young seedlings aro protected by a
few thorns.
